CompletedA newly established film and television base attracted a large number of people: tourists, extras, vendors, and film crews. Among them was Jun Qiulan, who came from ancient times.
Others might come here for entertainment or for their dreams, but Jun Qiulan only wanted to make money. After making money, he wanted to spend it.
Rice costing two yuan a catty in the supermarket was comparable to the tribute rice he once ate as a crown prince. A defective mouthwash cup bought for one yuan from a street vendor could be exchanged back in ancient times for a house that sheltered his family from the wind and rain.
He bought a large stack of books for ten yuan from a recycling station, and his family used the contents of those books to get rich in the bitter, cold frontier.
To earn money, Jun Qiulan inadvertently became an extra at the film and television base. From an exiled crown prince to a low-level actor, Jun Qiulan adapted well to this change in identity.
He originally just wanted to use his ability to travel between two worlds, earn money in modern times, and let the family he implicated live a good life. But gradually, things developed beyond his control.
A border general, perennially short on rations, incited him to rebel in order to obtain high-yield grain from him. A chancellor, who had been demoted years ago, frequently imparted imperial strategies to him in exchange for viewing the reference books he brought back.
Jun Qiulan thought: "Becoming an emperor is impossible, but looking at the free and peaceful modern world, and the extremely corrupt feudal society, a rebellion might actually be worth doing."
Rebelling required even more money, so he began to stand out among the extras. Unexpectedly, he was noticed by eccentric director, who also stumbled upon his secret.
