Gao Liang plays the male lead in the drama, and in fact, his creativity is truly unique—the male lead’s name is directly taken from his own name, Gao Liang. The two female leads, the first and second female protagonists, Dong Jiao and Yu Di, are also both using their real names. They are not only close sister-in-law friends but also rivals in love, both pursuing Gao Liang. To prevent the two close sisters from turning against each other, Gao Liang unexpectedly leaves them. |~Text| This act allows Dong Jiao and Yu Di to let go of their grudges and reconcile, reuniting to jointly search for Gao Liang. |~People| In real life, Gao Liang has long since realized the futility of worldly pursuits and has become a Buddhist monk at the Shaolin Temple, eventually becoming its abbot. |~Book| Both Dong Jiao and Yu Di, seeking true love, arrive at the Shaolin Temple at the same time, heartbroken upon seeing Gao Liang now a monk. |~Room| Soon after, two nun’s monasteries are established beneath the Shaolin Temple. “You’ve become a monk—so shall we!” Dong Jiao and Yu Die chose to become Buddhist nuns out of their unwavering love. Yet the story far from ending. A unprecedented crisis struck the Shaolin Temple, and Yongzheng dispatched forces to dismantle it. Gao Liang, heartbroken, disbanded the temple and wandered the world alone. Meanwhile, Yongzheng noticed Dong Jiao and Yu Die and appointed them as imperial consorts, but they firmly refused. Enraged, Yongzheng ordered them to be thrown from a cliff. Unexpectedly, they survived the fall and discovered Gao Liang's遗留 jade box—left behind after his journey through time. By chance, Dong Jiao and Yu Die used this jade box to board the last train of the time-space tunnel and traveled to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, Gao Liang had also used the same jade box to journey to the Tang Dynasty. Thus, the three of them met in the Tang Dynasty. And the place where they met was precisely the Shaolin Temple of the Tang Dynasty. The color king Chen Xianzhu, of the Shaolin Temple, had long coveted the beauty of Dong Jiao and Yu Di. He used a fragrant incense to daze both women, intending to assault them. Yet, when Gao Liang appeared, he engaged Chen Xianzhu in a fierce duel—unfortunately, Gao Liang proved no match for his opponent and nearly perished. To save Chen Xianzhu, Gao Liang, Dong Jiao, and Yu Di trained diligently in martial arts, and only through their combined efforts did they finally defeat the arrogant Chen Xianzhu. After Chen Xianzhu's defeat, Gao Liang prepared to depart. Unexpectedly, both Dong Jiao and Yu Di gently held his hand, willingly sharing their lives with him—something Gao Liang had not anticipated. Yet, Gao Liang is not unfaithful; he can only take one of the two. For the Yue Guang Jade Box space allows only two to journey to the modern era. Gao Liang resorted to drawing lots. Surprisingly, during the moment of transition, both Dong Jiao and Yu Di willingly chose to stay behind, each generously yielding to the other, neither willing The best time for the "Across Time" journey has expired. High-light did not make it to modern society; instead, he lived happily with two beautiful women he deeply loved, in the Tang Dynasty. There, leveraging his intelligence, High-light built a thriving business, while Dong Qiao and Yu Di served as his capable wives, forming a harmonious and enduring family life. This compelling journey across time, this satisfying love story, and these thrilling martial arts performances have captured the attention of audiences worldwide. "Best Actor! I proudly announce it—High-light, the Chairman of China's 'I Want to Become a God' Film & Television Group!" said Thomas, a senior expert from the Cannes Film Festival jury, after reaching a unanimous consensus among the 18 judges. The audience erupted into cheers. "Now, let's reveal the Best Actress—Dong Qiao, the signed leading actress of China's 'I Want to Become a God' Film & Television Group!" Thomas's announcement stirred the hall into lively excitement. Dong Jiao feels truly blessed—this is a real beginning! From now on, she has officially stepped onto the international celebrity path. Yu Di feels deeply disappointed, wanting to retreat. At that moment, the microphone on the stage clearly announces: "I announce! I propose! Yu Di, the female lead of *Dream Broken in the Red Chamber*, has been awarded the Best Emerging Actress Award!" Yu Di's eyes well up with emotion, tears streaming down her face. "Also, the Best Director Award! It's Mr. Gao Liang, the Chairman of Yucheng Film & Television Group!" Tomson's words spark even greater excitement among everyone. "International Best Director Award! What a thrill! What a thrill!" Audiences from many countries are envious, drooling and cheering wildly. "Man! Truly impressive! I never thought our leader could be so outstanding in the film and television industry!" Three close friends and Jin Yingjia all raise their thumbs in admiration toward Mr. Gao standing on the podium. This is far from over. What truly elevates our desire to become a proud, distinguished film group is that the film *Dreams Broken in the Romance of the Red Chamber* has won the prestigious Golden Lion Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, totaling 10 million U.S. dollars. President Macron personally handed over the check for 10 million U.S. dollars to Mr. Gao Liang, our group’s CEO. This award not only represents the highest artistic recognition but also acknowledges Gao Liang’s heroic leadership during the crisis—when, at a critical moment, he bravely defended the entire venue against the disruptive actions of the powerful Mafia leaders Malik and Frank, ensuring the safety of the audience, their lives, and their assets, and thereby safeguarding France’s international artistic reputation. The beauty Rain Die can only achieve greater success in the film and television industry under the strong guidance and support of Gao Liang. Without Gao Liang's steadfast backing, they would never have gained international acclaim. The highly coveted Golden Palm Award, which everyone admired, was proudly held by Gao Liang, Dong Jiao, and Rain Die—three of them who achieved tremendous success in the film and entertainment world. The scene then shifts to the Mengzi Blue Estate. Though Gao Liang, stationed at his French film production base, remained humble and composed, he convened a celebratory meeting upon returning to the estate, gathering the cast and crew led by the bearded actor and all his brothers. The gathering left everyone astonished and delighted. Originally, our highlight awarded Zhang YurPing a $3 million payment for her outstanding commercial contributions, which secured a $30 million deal for our desired-to-be-a-god automotive group. Additionally, $2.8 million was directly granted to Dong Jiao, and $1.8 million to Yu Di. The directors and cast members, including the well-known director with a full beard, also received substantial compensation, while the Jin-Ying-Jia guards, the three close friends, and the colleagues from Feng-Huo Hall all received salaries double their usual rates. Especially Rain Butterfly feels deeply ashamed, recalling how she had to perform with Malik, who had impersonated Sean—only to have him exploit her almost to the point of humiliating her. Fortunately, it was Highlight who saved her. Without Highlight, she never could have achieved such remarkable success or earned such a substantial fee. In truth, her family's financial situation is not particularly strong, so she has had to work tirelessly to earn a living.
