The Rise of Chinese Style from the Entertainment Industry

Serious synopsis: One song, “Hair Like Snow,” introduces the concept of “Three Classics and Three New Styles,” redefining the term “Chinese-style music.” One song, “Elegy of Peace,” wins the endorsement of state media, who publicly speak up for it, earning the favor of the authorities. One song, “The Painted Face,” reveals the charm of traditional opera to the nation and introduces everyone to a legendary elder. One song, “In the Name of the Father,” turns stone into gold, raising an unknown nobody into a pillar of Chinese-language music. Who is Jiang Li? He's the “Demon King,” the trailblazing pioneer of Chinese-style music; the “Unschooled Talent,” the golden touch behind an endless song library; and the “Epitaph,” a great literary master. Reborn into a new life with Earth's cultural resources at his disposal, Jiang Li turns Blue Star upside down, bringing together the past and present, and all under heaven. Not-so-serious synopsis: Why has my passionate struggle turned into a youthful romantic comedy disguised as an entertainment-industry story?! And why, as a major figure in entertainment, am I struggling to take a single step in this love triangle?! How could I, a man with grand ambitions, end up lost in the tender embrace of so many women?! P.S. The System barely features at all. The first few chapters have a lot of romance, so feel free to skip them if that's not your thing (though I don't recommend it).
