"Brother Yuan, filming starts today, and we're all having dinner together tonight. Don't be late!"
Nan Linyuan took the water from his assistant, gave a faint "hmm," and looked up at his reflection in the mirror, dressed in a suit and tie, feeling utterly unreal.
He is not a person of this era.
Having died on the battlefield, he was transported to this world by a twist of fate, and it took him a month to finally accept the fact that he had arrived a thousand years in the future.
But he still couldn't adapt. He felt ashamed that the general had become an actor who acted in front of a camera.
Most importantly, I keep an eye on news about myself online every day and try to keep my distance from all women.
She maintained her integrity, avoided scandals, and never tarnished the reputation of a good woman.
Nan Linyuan nervously opened Weibo, and sure enough, the top trending topic was: "The Legend of Emperor Da Yong" has started filming, and the poster is stunning!
Hmm, it looks like today is peaceful too.
But scrolling down, the comments section is anything but peaceful—
Isn't Jin Jin handsome? My thoughts: [I knew this production team was up to something! Even though this is a male-centric drama with no romantic pairing, Jin Jin is still one of the main characters, right? Even that scheming, money-backed actress gets screen time on the promotional posters, so why isn't Jin Jin there?]
High-IQ Human: [Come on! Your arrogant self-proclaimed academic fraud, his diva-like behavior, his persona is completely shattered. Only the powerful backers are still supporting him; otherwise, how could he have a chance to be in the same group as our A-Yuan? Pah!]
Shipping this couple makes me happy: [Although, based on just a few photos and the reporters' bandwagon publicity, we can't really say it's Duan Sijin's fault, right? My Sijin and Yuanyuan finally got to act in a drama, can't we have some peace? Hehe, look at the pictures, there's a treat (′｀)｛link｝]
Why are they arguing again? It seems... it's related to him again.
Nan Linyuan wearily pinched the bridge of his nose and clicked the link after the third top comment.
I thought it would be news or information about Duan Sijin, but what I saw at first glance was... a marriage certificate??
It was his marriage certificate with Duan Sijin!
He was on the left, and Duan Sijin was on the right. The two were wearing the same white shirts and smiling sweetly, thus freezing the moment in the photo.
Below, there is also the specific date for obtaining the certificate and the marriage certificate number.
Nan Linyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt as if someone was choking him, giving him a strange sense of suffocation.
A slight blush appeared on that perpetually icy face. He downloaded the picture again and examined it closely. It seemed... he really couldn't find a single flaw.
It's already quite an achievement for an ancient person who has only been in the modern world for a month to be able to understand basic Mandarin expressions; how would they know about Photoshop?
He could only think in despair—so, in this world, he and Duan Sijin were already married?
Nan Linyuan had no memories of the original owner, and his heart was pounding as he eagerly wanted to know more about what "himself" had done with Si Jin before.
Now that you're married, you have to take responsibility; you can't be a heartless man.
Finally, he found some memories of himself and Jinjin from the past by following the marriage certificate (a fanfiction).
It's still a pure angst story that pursues the aesthetics of a tragic ending, with risqué elements and melodramatic plot twists.
General Nan, as if facing a formidable enemy, took a deep breath with a solemn expression and began reading from the first chapter.
The 100,000-word angst-filled novel terrified him.
It turns out that Jinjin had long been in love with him and had been pursuing him. They had indeed been together and even married. He had also done so many... outrageous things to Jinjin.
However, because his brother was diagnosed with a terminal illness, he had no choice but to marry a wealthy woman to consolidate the family business, abandoning Jinjin, and the two never contacted each other again.
In the end, the protagonist, Nan Linyuan, is left sitting blankly outside a festive wedding room, staring at the wedding dress he didn't want to wear, his eyes vacant, drinking himself into oblivion.
In his delirious state, he kept calling out only one name.
“Jinjin.”
