Figure Skating: From Opera Star to Olympic Champion

Chu Libai was born the legitimate son of a distinguished family. But as the chaotic times shifted and sank, his family was like a small boat on a vast sea, breaking apart along with a world on the verge of collapse. He concealed his identity and moved among the rich and powerful as a celebrated opera performer, hoping that his meager efforts might help the light break through the darkest hour before dawn. But when he secretly delivered the final message to the resistance, a great fire blazed into the sky. In the end, he never got to hear the cheers celebrating his country's victory. When Chu Libai opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a new country in 2002, reborn as a young figure skater. He gazed at a nation rising from the ruins, full of promise and prosperity. There was no war or gunfire here, and everyone's face was lit with easy smiles. Nobody feared they might not live to grow up. What a wonderful place. This was the country countless people had once dreamed of. And yet, in men's singles figure skating, the country was still mocked by nations around the world as the "Sick Man of East Asia," and was not even qualified to compete in the Olympics. Chu Libai resolved to fulfill the young skater's wish. In his lifetime, he would achieve a breakthrough from zero and hear the national anthem of New China played at the world's highest-level competition! The love interest is a business tycoon and a real CEO, a conscientious entrepreneur who works to improve people's lives.
