"Since you don't want to go back in such a humble way, then just do what you like. Maybe one day in the future, when you are at the peak of your glory, you will return to ancient times. After all, if two dynasties feel the same, they will return. But the modern era is far superior to the ancient era, and even absorbs the essence of both. Therefore, the places that are basically the same as the ancient era are very few. If you really want to find it, it might be the appearance of the prosperous times."
"You mean when I succeed, I'll suddenly go back to ancient times? That would be so boring. I wouldn't even be able to enjoy the good things here and then go back. I don't want that."
"You are wrong, Prince. Have you ever thought about what your most glorious time here was like in the ancient imperial court?"
“I don’t understand!”
"You're such a fool. You'll understand when the time comes. Now the people are in charge, and if you can become a role model for many people, you will also be a role model in ancient times, but in a different way."
"You mean, I would have ascended the throne in ancient times? Forget it. I'm actually not that interested in the throne. Especially after seeing so many good things, I realized that those are not what I really pursue. Compared to managing the court, I still prefer studying women's clothing matching and so on."
"I understand, but the people of ancient times are still waiting for you to return. If you can promote the women's clothing you like when you return, wouldn't girls then have the same status as men?"
"Of course, everyone should be equal. That's why I don't want to go back to ancient times. I don't like that feeling of being superior. I like being close to the people and getting along with them. I only need to look at my reflection in the mirror to know how handsome I am at this moment."
"But the ancient times were different from the modern times. They needed a leader because the people's thinking was backward. That's why you need to improve yourself as quickly as possible, return to the ancient times, and serve the working people."
"I know, I know. I was born to be this tired. Is that okay?"
"That's not tiredness, but a responsibility. When people have responsibilities, they will be very happy, right?"
"Why should I be happy? I'm exhausted from practicing singing every day."
"So, you still can't be a role model because your foundation is too weak. That's why you need more time to train in the modern world."
"Ji Nianqin, you're not saying that modern role models could have ascended the throne and become emperors in ancient times, right?"
"Why not? After all, modern people have a more detached mindset, and there are many successful people in every field. If you just consult with them, you'll know how to manage the court."
"You mean, after I finish singing, I still have to listen to you and go have a meeting with outstanding talents from all walks of life?"
"Of course, by then you'll already be a star, and your influence will definitely be even greater. And all the money you earn can be donated to impoverished mountainous areas, Hope Primary Schools, or people in need."
"So what did I get in the end? I kept making money and kept spending it."
"You certainly get, like, the respect you deserve."
"In the end, Ji Nianqin, I know you just want to use me so that you women can be the masters of the house in ancient times. I've already said it's impossible. Even if you let me meet successful people in modern times, how many of them are women?"
