[Two Male Leads] [One-on-One, Both Devoted to Each Other] [Cold, Restraint-Bearing General Bottom x Devoted Top-Tier Star Actor] [Entertainment Industry] [Soul Transmigration] [Fated Reunion] [Winning Him Back] [Sweet and Angsty, with a Little Angst]
After a battle in western Yunnan during the Jing Dynasty, Chen Yili fell on the battlefield, covered in wounds. When he opened his eyes again, his soul had transmigrated into the body of a modern actor with the same name.
The original owner had been trapped in a cold, wealthy family, ignored by his relatives and framed by his half-brother. Hounded by a tidal wave of scandals, he had been driven to desperation, making room for a soul from a thousand years in the past.
Chen Yili thought he had fallen into another world by mistake and would never find a place to belong. Then, at an audition, he met Qi Yu, a top-tier star actor no one in the industry dared approach lightly.
At their first meeting, Qi Yu was struck by how unusual Chen Yili's bearing was: quiet and composed, with a noble spirit unlike anyone else's. He couldn't help paying attention to him again and again.
But Chen Yili wanted only to establish himself and live in peace, so he kept his distance from the celebrated actor. That only made Qi Yu more unable to let go, his gaze constantly drawn to Chen Yili.
The ancient battles and sword-wielding youth that kept appearing in Qi Yu's dreams: were they mere illusions, or bonds that had crossed through time?
When Qi Yu finally recognized the person before him, every doubt in his heart fell into place. He stopped him and exclaimed, "It's you. It was always you?!"
From then on, Qi Yu refused to remain a mere spectator. After a reunion a thousand years in the making, this time, let me be the one to run to you!
A pearl hidden beneath the dust! He would protect Chen Yili as he cleared away every rumor and trap, and stand by him as he took his place on a dazzling stage beneath the stars!
