I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Zeng Li stepped forward and threw herself into Cheng Sheng's arms, whispering, "I know I can't hold you back by myself, but I only ask that no matter how many women you have outside, you must not bring them home. That's my bottom line."

Cheng Sheng was slightly taken aback, then a hint of emotion flashed through his mind.

Honestly, as a time traveler, if Cheng Sheng didn't build a harem, he would be doing a disservice to his time traveler status, feeling like he had wasted his time traveling.

He didn't want to be tied to any one person and always adhered to the belief of "rejecting all who come and protecting himself."

Although he had intimate relationships with many women, Cheng Sheng's true love was Zeng Li.

Cheng Sheng hadn't expected Zeng Li to be so magnanimous.

At that moment, the thought arose in his mind that he should sever ties with all the other women and be with Zeng Li alone.

However, that thought quickly disappeared.

Since they've all time-traveled, it's perfectly reasonable for them to have a harem.

He may be a jerk, but it's impossible for him to give up the other women.

At most, I'll love Zeng Li a little more in the future.

Do as Zeng Li said.

No matter how many women he has outside, he will never bring them home.

"Honey, you're so good to me, I love you."

Cheng Sheng hugged Zeng Li tightly and said gently.

Zeng Li rested her head on Cheng Sheng's shoulder, a sly glint in her eyes.

To be honest, as a woman, she didn't want to give her man to someone else, but she knew that Cheng Sheng was just too outstanding.

Talent, money, and strength in relationships are not things she can possess alone.

Therefore, if she wants to win Cheng Sheng's greatest love, she must make concessions and show her magnanimity.

In this way, Cheng Sheng will feel guilty, and no matter how many women Cheng Sheng has in the future, she will definitely be the one he loves the most.

Zeng Li's idea was inspired by the Empress He and Empress Xiao she had played.

In ancient times, the empress was the emperor's principal wife, the mother of the nation, and the mistress of the harem. Therefore, many concubines in the harem wanted to become empress.

However, to become an empress, one must have certain methods. Some need to have exceptional beauty, some need to have superb skills, and some need to rely on their fertility.

In ancient times, due to the practice of polygamy, men developed a philandering and lustful nature, and this was especially true for the rulers of a country.

Many emperors favored beautiful women, and Zeng Li didn't think she was inferior to anyone in terms of appearance.

Therefore, having an exceptionally beautiful face is very important if you want to win the emperor's favor.

Like Yang Yuhuan, who is known as a femme fatale, she is considered one of the Four Beauties of ancient China and was deeply favored by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

In terms of skills, it's about a woman knowing how to please her husband. This skill of winning the emperor's favor is not something everyone possesses.

Like Liu Bang's wife, Empress Lü, she was extremely skillful and had great political experience. At that time, she knew that Liu Bang was good at listening to the opinions of his ministers, so she did her best to win over them, and thus she was deeply loved by Liu Bang.

Another example is the Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede sisters during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han. Although they possessed extraordinary beauty, they were also skilled at charming people, which is why Emperor Cheng was deeply infatuated with them.

Zeng Li is not just a pretty face; as an actress, she also knows a bit about singing and dancing.

The imperial harem was the emperor's private domain, but also an extension of the politics of the previous dynasty.

The empress needs to manage numerous concubines and handle complex conflicts such as vying for favor and succession.

If the empress is narrow-minded and jealous, she is very likely to cause turmoil in the harem, which in turn will affect the stability of the court.

Therefore, "magnanimity" is a basic requirement for maintaining order in the harem and preventing "fires in the inner palace".

As the information states, the empress was required to "stabilize the harem and assist her husband," and to handle relationships of interest with a "generous and magnanimous attitude," which was her duty.

An empress who is "generous" in everything and always considers the emperor's needs is easily regarded by the emperor as a "housekeeper" or "partner" rather than a lover with whom he can confide and be affectionate.

Although this is not ancient times and she is not the empress, Zeng Li still gained some inspiration from this experience. If she wanted to gain more of Cheng Sheng's love, it was essential to maintain 'generosity'.

Cheng Sheng was completely immersed in his emotions, unaware that Zeng Li had used some ancient 'empress' tactics on him. In this world, time is the most precious thing.

Once it's over, it can never be undone.

Every minute, every second, operates according to its own rules. There is no pause, no forgetting, no starting over.

Therefore, it is said that "an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time."

Time flies, years pass quickly. Learn to slow down, savor life, calmly observe the changing world, and inner peace will naturally reduce worries.

Zeng Li's face was covered in sweat, and her hair was stuck to her face.

I'm so tired.

After exercising for two hours, my physical strength has dropped drastically.

This is even more tiring than running.

Finally, they raised the white flag and surrendered!

"Honey, are you alright?"

Cheng Sheng finished dressing and said.

"What do you think?" Zeng Li managed to utter two words.

"Then you should rest more, I'll go buy you breakfast."

Half an hour later, Cheng Sheng returned to the hotel with the breakfast he had bought.

Cheng Sheng woke Zeng Li up to eat breakfast, then held her and fell asleep again.

It was almost noon.

The two checked out of their room, found a restaurant, ate, and then drove off.

Because he was going to meet Li Xiaoran the day after tomorrow, Cheng Sheng didn't stop much along the way and drove all the way back to Kyoto in one go.

Zeng Li was initially a little confused, since Cheng Sheng had previously said that they would travel while driving.

Therefore, Zeng Li asked Cheng Sheng about it.

Cheng Sheng had already come up with an excuse.

Write a screenplay.

When Zeng Li heard that Cheng Sheng was going to write a script, she was a little confused. Wasn't the script for "Zheng He's Voyages to the West" already written?
"You wrote the script for Chen Kaige? Why?"

Zeng Li looked shocked when she heard Cheng Sheng's explanation.

She knew that Cheng Sheng didn't have much affection for Chen Kaige, and had even criticized Chen Kaige's film "The Promise".

But now they're helping him write a script? Isn't that a mistake?

"Chen Kaige's wife, Chen Hong, did me a small favor. She asked me to write a script for Chen Kaige, so I'll just consider it returning the favor," Cheng Sheng said.

Of course, he couldn't reveal his relationship with Chen Hong.

"How did you meet Chen Hong? How did you end up owing her a favor?"

Upon hearing Chen Hong's name, Zeng Li narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced sideways at Cheng Shengdao.

“Actually… I’ve known Chen Hong for a long time,” Cheng Sheng said after thinking for a moment.

"You've known each other for a long time? When? Why wouldn't I know?"

Zeng Li asked three questions in a row.

“When I was in college, I ran into her when she came to the Central Academy of Drama... She knew that I was also from Rao City, and we got in touch after a while.”

Cheng Sheng explained, inwardly relieved that he had learned some information about Chen Hong from another memory. (End of Chapter)
