    It meets the requirements; the protagonist is behind the scenes, keeping their identity hidden. It's an entertainment/time-travel story that starts with songs, includes variety show competitions, and features classic song selections! It also includes poetry and the story of "The Butterfly Lovers," etc. The characters are all intelligent, and there are no forced attempts at showing off or face-slapping. It's a heartwarming and funny slice-of-life story; worth checking out.
