After gradually establishing themselves in the entertainment industry in Beijing, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan's lives seemed to be going smoothly. However, an unexpected event, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, shattered the tranquility and made the truth about Ling Yichen's time travel begin to emerge.
It was an important court performance, and their opera troupe was fortunate enough to be invited to the palace to perform for the royal family. The entire troupe attached great importance to this performance and prepared meticulously for many days. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran dared not slack off in the slightest, rehearsing the play repeatedly, striving to make it perfect.
On the day of the performance, the palace was brightly lit and decorated, a truly magnificent sight. The opera troupe was busy preparing backstage. Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran, dressed in exquisite costumes and with meticulous makeup, awaited their turn to go on stage. Just as their performance was about to begin, Ling Yichen suddenly felt a sharp wave of dizziness, and his vision blurred. Jun Mo Ran noticed his unusual condition and asked with concern, "Yichen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ling Yichen suppressed his discomfort, shook his head and said, "Brother Jun, I'm fine. I was just a little nervous. I'll be fine in a bit."
However, as they stepped onto the stage, halfway through the performance, an accident occurred. Ling Yichen was reciting his lines when suddenly the world spun around him, and his consciousness seemed to be drawn into a giant vortex. In the instant he lost consciousness, he saw the horrified expressions on the faces of the audience below, and Jun Mo Ran reaching out his hand to him with a worried look on his face.
When Ling Yichen regained consciousness, he found himself in a strange space. All around him was a thick, white fog, so dense that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face. He tried to move, but found himself trapped in place, unable to take a single step.
"Where is this? How did I get here?" Ling Yichen was filled with fear and confusion.
Just when he was feeling desperate, a faint voice rang in his ear: "Ling Yichen, you've finally arrived here."
Ling Yichen was startled and asked loudly, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
The voice slowly said, "I am the guardian of this time and space. You do not belong to this era. Your arrival is an accident, but also an arrangement of fate."
Ling Yichen was startled. He realized that this voice might be related to the truth about his time travel, so he quickly asked, "You said I don't belong to this era, so why did I travel here? How can I go back?"
The Time Guardian sighed and said, "Your time travel stems from a temporal anomaly. In your original world, you encountered an accident at an awards ceremony. A powerful energy fluctuation interacted with a temporal rift, pulling your soul into this ancient timeline. The jade pendant you wear is one of the key keys to opening the time portal. It contains special energy and has a mysterious connection to this ancient world."
Ling Yichen remembered the jade pendant he always carried with him, and he suddenly realized, "Could it be that this jade pendant is the key to my time travel? How can I use it to go back?"
The Time Guardian said, "To return to your original world, you need to complete some missions in this ancient world. Your rise in the entertainment industry has caused fluctuations in time and space. You must use your influence to integrate some modern cultural concepts and values into this ancient society to promote the cultural development and progress of this world. Only when you complete these missions will the jade pendant play its true role and take you back to your original world."
Ling Yichen was filled with mixed emotions. He hadn't expected that his transmigration would conceal such a complex truth. He had lived in this ancient world for so long and had developed deep feelings for Jun Mo Ran and the members of the opera troupe. He didn't know if he could really bring himself to leave.
Just as Ling Yichen was deep in thought, the voice of the Time Guardian rang out again: "Don't hesitate any longer, time is running out. Every action you take in this world may affect the stability of time and space. If you cannot complete your mission in time, not only will you be unable to return, but you may also bring disaster to this world."
Ling Yichen took a deep breath and said firmly, "I understand. I will do my best to complete the mission."
Suddenly, the surrounding fog began to dissipate, and Ling Yichen's vision gradually returned to light. He found himself back on the stage of the palace, with Jun Mo Ran anxiously watching over him, and the audience below staring at them in astonishment.
Jun Mo Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ling Yi Chen wake up and said, "Yi Chen, you suddenly fainted just now, which scared everyone. How are you feeling now?"
Ling Yichen looked at Jun Moran, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He said, "Brother Jun, I'm fine, just a little tired. Let's continue the performance."
Although Ling Yichen outwardly appeared nonchalant, he kept the words of the Time Guardian firmly in mind. In the days that followed, he began to more actively incorporate modern cultural elements into his performances. He adapted some modern stories into opera plays, conveying modern values such as equality, freedom, and friendship. These plays caused a sensation in the capital upon their premiere, captivating audiences with their novel stories and profound themes, who showered Ling Yichen with praise for his creative talent.
Jun Mo Ran also noticed Ling Yi Chen's change. He discovered that Ling Yi Chen's performances and creations seemed to contain a power that transcended this era. He asked Ling Yi Chen curiously, "Yi Chen, where do your recent ideas and creativity come from? I feel like you've become a different person."
Ling Yichen looked at Jun Mozhan, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to conceal the truth for the time being. He said, "Brother Jun, these are all inspirations I got in my dreams. I felt that these stories could bring a different feeling to the audience, so I tried to adapt them into operas."
Although Jun Mo Ran had some doubts, he didn't press the matter further. He chose to trust Ling Yi Chen and fully support his creative work and performance.
As Ling Yichen's influence grew, his status in the ancient entertainment industry also rose. However, he knew he still had a long way to go to complete his mission. His relationship with Jun Mo Ran also faced new tests along the way. He didn't know how Jun Mo Ran would react when he finally completed his mission and left this world. But he understood that to return to his own world and to protect the peace of this ancient world, he had to persevere, even if the road ahead was full of unknowns and hardships.
