"Not bad, Richard Clayderman is one of the most famous pianists of the twenty-first century," a woman's voice rang out from behind the crowd. The researchers turned to look, and several young researchers immediately recognized the speaker.
"It's Chen Mu Yu!"
"How did Chen Mu Yu come to our research institute?"
"…"
"…"
Chen Mu Yu had already made a name for herself in literature, film, and music, gaining more and more fans over the years. The young researchers had all seen her works, including the television dramas and movies she starred in, as well as her songs. Seeing their idol in person, they couldn't contain their excitement and rushed forward to surround her, asking for autographs.
"Chen Mu Yu, I really like you."
"Chen Mu Yu, your book 'Flower Thousand Bones' is so good! When will it be adapted into a TV drama?"
"Chen Mu Yu, I loved your role as Zhen Huan, but I don't like the Emperor; he's so annoying."
"Chen Mu Yu, I love listening to your song 'Blue-and-white Porcelain.' Could you sing it for us?"
"Chen Mu Yu…"
"Chen Mu Yu…"
Chen Mu Yu smiled gracefully as she patiently interacted with her fans among the researchers. This kind of scene was something she could only dream of in her past life, so she cherished every fan and made sure not to overlook anyone.
Finally finishing signing for the last fan, the researcher fans returned to their posts with satisfaction. Chen Mu Yu walked over to the piano, reminiscing as she gently touched its surface. The crew members and her manager, observing her demeanor and then glancing at the piano, couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Mu Yu, is this really a piano?"
Chen Mu Yu nodded and smiled, "That's right, this is a piano. No wonder Director Zhang recommended me to the Ancient Culture Research Institute. It truly lives up to its name; they managed to restore the piano."
The director beamed, "That's wonderful! This solves our major problem."
The manager turned to the research institute staff accompanying them and asked, "May we borrow this piano for use?"
The staff member replied, "I'll check with the project leader about that."
Chen Mu Yu watched as the staff member walked over to Hanno. While Chen Mu Yu was busy signing autographs for the young researchers, Hanno had already returned to her workstation. She followed along. Once the staff confirmed with Hanno that they could borrow the piano, Chen Mu Yu extended her right hand towards Hanno, saying, "Thank you, Dr. Han. I'm Chen Mu Yu; it's a pleasure to meet you."
Hanno shook Chen Mu Yu's hand in return. "Hello, I'm Han Yongxia. I've seen your work; it's quite impressive."
Chen Mu Yu smiled back, "Dr. Han plays the piano very well too. But this piano has just been restored successfully, right? It's incredible that you can already play it."
"There's nothing incredible about it," Hanno replied calmly. "I'm the project leader for the piano restoration; my familiarity with it is beyond what Sister Chen can imagine. Although I haven't played before, I've long been practicing on a simulated keyboard I created."
"Is that so? Dr. Han is truly diligent," Chen Mu Yu chuckled lightly, suppressing her doubts. "I often film dramas related to ancient culture. If there are things I don't understand, could I trouble Dr. Han for some guidance?"
Hanno responded with a polite smile, "If I have time, I'd be happy to help."
"Then I look forward to collaborating with Dr. Han!"
Thus ended their first meeting. Hanno didn't concern herself with the relationship between the female lead and her fiancé; she only hoped they would quickly get together so she could break off her engagement and pursue her true love openly. However—Hanno sighed—where was her husband? Why hadn’t she found him after ten years? It was likely due to the vastness of the Interstellar Era; Elder Brother Li might not even be on Earth but on another planet. But why hadn't he come looking for her? To ensure Elder Brother Li could find her, Hanno often restored one or two artifacts from Ancient Earth to appear on television so that people across the galaxy could see her.
The female lead's journey was progressing smoothly. With the piano, "Flower Boy Next Door" was filming exceptionally well, especially the scene where she played the piano, which amazed everyone across the galaxy. The piano captured everyone's attention and became a sensation, bringing in substantial profits for Hanno, the piano restorer. As Chen Mu Yu's fame grew, it attracted envy from some, and she fell victim to underhanded schemes. Fortunately, the male lead, Sun Yuqin, appeared just in time to rescue her, leading to their first encounter and an instant attraction.
Sun Yuqin had reached the fourteenth level of physical skills, just one level away from entering the Fifteen Levels and becoming a respected master. He had initially planned to take five years to reach the Fifteen Levels, gain power, and then seize control of the Sun Family to annul the engagement with the Han family. However, plans changed quickly when he met Chen Mu Yu and fell deeply in love with her. To prevent his beloved from suffering any grievances, Sun Yuqin accelerated his efforts to gain power within his family.
The Sun Family was a large clan that valued strength above all else; the head of the family had to be the most outstanding member. If Sun Yuqin followed his original plan, he would undoubtedly claim the position of family head in five years. However, his current strength was still inferior to that of his uncle, who was the current head of the Ren Family. Moreover, his uncle's son—his cousin—was equally talented and had also reached the thirteenth level. Together, they posed a significant challenge for Sun Yuqin as he sought to usurp his uncle's position.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Mu Yu asked as she sat beside Sun Yuqin, resting her chin on his shoulder.
"I'm thinking about how to quickly secure the position of family head," Sun Yuqin confessed his troubles to her.
"Since your uncle is so formidable, it's better not to challenge him lightly. Once you reach the Fifteen Levels, according to clan rules, he will have to pass on the position to you. Why take unnecessary risks?" Chen Mu Yu advised him.
Sun Yuqin gently caressed Chen Mu Yu's face. "I'm doing this so I can marry you sooner. Without power, I can't annul my engagement with the Han family and can't be with you."
Chen Mu Yu placed her hand over his. "It's okay; I can wait for you. Five years isn't too long for me. I would rather you stay safe than take risks. Besides, haven't you noticed? You and your fiancée aren't even interested in going through with the wedding; you're just bearing the title of someone else's fiancé. I don't mind at all as long as I'm your future wife."
Sun Yuqin felt touched by Chen Mu Yu's understanding and embraced her tightly. "Mu Yu, I will never let you suffer. Just wait for me—three years at most—and I will take control of the Sun Family and break off my engagement with the Han family."
Chen Mu Yu returned his embrace, believing in this man and feeling proud of her choice in such an outstanding partner who loved her deeply. What did it matter if he had a fiancée? They weren't married yet! Besides, television shows often depicted such fiancées merely as catalysts for love stories.
Feeling her soft curves against him stirred something within Sun Yuqin; his hands roamed over Chen Mu Yu's delicate body. She shot him a playful yet inviting glance that seemed both like a rejection and an invitation at once. Without hesitation, he lifted Chen Mu Yu into his arms and strode into the bedroom. In an instant, springtime warmth filled the room.
As rain ceased and clouds dispersed, they lay entwined on the bed resting together. Sun Yuqin lovingly traced his fingers along Chen Mu Yu's smooth back and said, "I’ll be busy with training and missions for a while; I won’t have much time to see you."
Chen Mu Yu rested her head on Sun Yuqin's arm and replied sweetly, "I’m fine; don’t worry about me. I’ll be busy too. And we can always stay in touch."
Chen Mu Yu felt that the benefits of advanced technology were simply too numerous to count. For instance, the interstellar communicator was a holographic projection, allowing two people to communicate as if they were face to face. The image even had a weak electric current sensing device, giving a slight tactile sensation when one touched the holographic image, making it feel as though they were touching something real.
Sun Yuqin asked, "Are you going to film again? Isn't it too exhausting?"
"It's not exhausting; I love acting, and I don't feel tired at all." Acting in the twenty-first century was truly exhausting, with the pressure being overwhelming. A moment's distraction could lead to accidents and injuries. Unlike now, where technology was so advanced that many dangerous scenes could be handled with the help of Light Brain. Moreover, interstellar beings had bodies that were powerful, comparable to ancient martial arts masters, making dangerous stunts incredibly easy.
"And this time I'm filming a historical romance drama, which is much easier than shooting fantasy or martial arts dramas," Chen Mu Yu reassured her beloved.
Sun Yuqin was curious. "Is it another script you wrote? What's it about?"
"Of course it's my script," Chen Mu Yu said proudly. "Who writes better scripts than I do?"
Sun Yuqin adored Chen Mu Yu's confident demeanor and her talent. She lowered her head and kissed Chen Mu Yu's forehead. "Your talent is unmatched!"
Chen Mu Yu chuckled lightly, accepting her praise without any modesty, and excitedly began to share the plot:
"My script is about a very famous and significant period in Earth's history—the Qing Dynasty during The Battle for the Dragon Throne. It tells the story of an ordinary girl from three hundred years later who, after a car accident, finds her soul transported back three hundred years to become the daughter of a general. It revolves around her love-hate entanglements with several sons of the Kangxi Emperor, known as the Nine Dragons..."
...
"You're inviting me to be an advisor for Chen Mu Yu's new movie?" Hanno took the script from the research institute's field staff and saw the title "Scarlet Heart" written on the cover. Hanno smiled. "Sure, I have some free time; I'll go have some fun! It’ll be a nice way to relax!"
