Ling Yichen, a modern movie star, unexpectedly transmigrates to the ancient entertainment industry after an accident. Reborn, he is determined to rewrite his destiny.
In a theater troupe, he ...
In the long river of time during the prosperous dynasty, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran, a couple from the modern era, had a relationship that was as strong as a thread. Not only did it not break during their journey through time, but it also continued to take root and sprout in the ancient soil, blooming into a unique and splendid flower, experiencing a profound process of continuation and development.
Upon arriving in ancient times, they found solace in each other in the unfamiliar environment. Ling Yichen taught at the academy, and every day upon his return, Jun Mo Ran would prepare warm tea and snacks, waiting quietly. They would sit on the stone benches in the courtyard, sharing their day's experiences and insights. Jun Mo Ran would enthusiastically recount the new designs at the embroidery shop and the amusing stories of the customers who came to commission garments; Ling Yichen would speak of the intelligence and mischievousness of the students at the academy, and his deeper understanding of ancient culture gained through teaching. In these tranquil moments, their eyes met, conveying a deep affection and tacit understanding that needed no words, as if all the surrounding noise had faded away, leaving only the two of them.
As they gradually become involved in and influence the ancient entertainment industry, their relationship faces new tests and opportunities. Jun Mo Ran, due to her embroidery business and outstanding contributions to cultural dissemination, frequently attends various social occasions and court events. Her beauty, intelligence, and unique artistic temperament attract the admiring gazes of many high-ranking officials and nobles. At a grand court banquet, a powerful prince clearly showed his affection for Jun Mo Ran, repeatedly toasting her and showering her with praise and innuendo. Although Jun Mo Ran's heart belongs only to Ling Yi Chen, she inevitably feels somewhat awkward and uneasy in such a complex social setting.
Ling Yichen witnessed this, a pang of jealousy rising within him. However, he knew Jun Mo Ran's character well and understood the complex interpersonal relationships they faced in this era. Therefore, he calmly approached Jun Mo Ran and politely yet firmly declared his relationship with her to the prince. His eyes conveyed an undeniable authority, yet remained humble and composed. Jun Mo Ran glanced at Ling Yichen gratefully; in that moment, their hearts drew even closer. This experience taught them that in the social environment of ancient times, their relationship required even stronger protection, while simultaneously maintaining a suitable public image.
To better cope with external pressures and temptations, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran decided to hold a grand wedding in ancient times. They meticulously planned the ceremony, striving to combine modern wedding concepts with ancient traditions. The wedding venue was chosen in a scenic garden, a place of blooming flowers, shady trees, and elegantly arranged pavilions and terraces. Jun Moran personally designed her wedding attire, crafting herself a beautiful red silk gown embroidered with auspicious symbols of love, such as dragons and phoenixes, and mandarin ducks playing in the water. Precious gemstones adorned the collar and cuffs, sparkling brilliantly in the sunlight. Ling Yichen wore a magnificent ancient-style robe, a black robe embroidered with gold thread patterns, and a jade-inlaid belt around his waist, exuding handsome charm.
On their wedding day, the house was packed with guests, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. People from all walks of life came to offer their congratulations, including their friends from the ancient entertainment industry, teachers and students from the academy, customers from the embroidery shop, and some court officials. The wedding ceremony proceeded according to ancient traditions, with solemn and sacred rituals such as bowing to heaven and earth, bowing to parents, and the couple bowing to each other. During the exchange of marriage certificates, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran had specially prepared a unique certificate, which not only contained ancient vows but also reflected on their experiences in both the modern and ancient worlds and their hopes for the future. This marriage certificate became an important testament to the continuation of their love in ancient times.
In their married life, they continued to explore the ancient world together, supporting each other and deepening their affection. When Ling Yichen encountered difficulties in his opera creation and performance teaching, Jun Moran was always there to encourage and advise him. She would offer new ideas and inspiration based on her understanding of art and her insights into ancient culture. And when Jun Moran faced competitive pressure or design bottlenecks at her embroidery shop, Ling Yichen would use his wisdom and connections to help her overcome the crisis. They spent many days and nights together, whether studying scripts and embroidery patterns by candlelight or strolling hand in hand through ancient streets in the wind and rain, their love growing richer and more mellow with age, like a fine wine.
However, fate's twists and turns did not end there. During an outing, Jun Mo Ran accidentally fell into the water. Ling Yi Chen jumped in without hesitation to rescue her. In the icy river, he held Jun Mo Ran tightly and swam with all his might to the shore. After reaching the bank, Jun Mo Ran fell ill and fell into a coma due to the cold. Ling Yi Chen was extremely anxious. He stayed by Jun Mo Ran's bedside day and night, personally brewing and feeding her medicine, wrapping her in warm blankets, and constantly whispering their beautiful memories in her ear, hoping to awaken her. Under Ling Yi Chen's meticulous care, Jun Mo Ran gradually recovered. This life-or-death ordeal made them realize more deeply the importance of each other in their hearts, and their relationship was elevated to a new level.
As their life in ancient times continued, the arrival of their child became another important stage in their relationship. After Jun Mo Ran became pregnant, Ling Yi Chen took meticulous care of her. He would carefully select various nutritious foods to ensure the health of both Jun Mo Ran and the fetus. He would also accompany Jun Mo Ran for walks in the courtyard, experiencing the nurturing and growth of the new life. During her pregnancy, Jun Mo Ran continued to pursue her love for embroidery. She made many exquisite little items for her unborn child, such as swaddling clothes and little shoes embroidered with cute patterns. Every stitch and every thread was filled with her love for the child and Ling Yi Chen.
After the child's birth, their lives became busier and more fulfilling. Ling Yichen focused on cultivating his child's character and wisdom, combining modern educational concepts with ancient cultural knowledge, telling stories from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, to guide the child in establishing correct values and a worldview. Jun Moran, while caring for the child's daily life, also passed on her artistic talents, teaching the child about colors, patterns, and embroidery techniques. Throughout their child's growth, they collaborated, sharing the responsibilities of parenthood, and their bond continued to strengthen in the warm atmosphere of their family.
In this ancient and prosperous dynasty, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran's love weathered many storms, yet remained steadfast as a rock. In their ancient life, through mutual understanding, support, protection, and companionship, their relationship continued to grow, becoming an indispensable part of each other's lives. Their love story, like a brilliant star in the ancient night sky, shines eternally through the long river of time, adding a touch of warmth and romance to this unfamiliar yet captivating era.
