I really didn't intend to make a living based on my looks.

One by one, the studio lights came on, and the recording finally officially began.

"Happy Camp, wishing you a good mood every day!"

He Jiong took the lead, and the hosts shouted the opening slogan in unison.

As usual, the opening segment consisted of the guests introducing themselves.

The cast and crew of "The Sky We Watch" went on stage first. Wang Lin walked in front and exchanged a few pleasantries with He Jiong with a smile.

Li Xin followed behind, dressed in a white dress, pure and quiet, standing on the stage with her hands clasped and bowing slightly.

Lin Shen was the last to walk up, looking both cool and arrogant.

Then there's the cast and crew of "Swords of Legends".

Yang Mi led the way, followed by Jiang Chen, Chen Weiting, and Ma Tianyu taking the stage in turn.

Yang Mi wore her hair up today and a light yellow short skirt. As soon as she stood on the stage, she attracted all the attention.

When she introduced herself, the screams from the audience almost lifted the roof off.

When introducing Jiang Chen, He Jiong noticeably held the microphone much closer than others, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Chen's clothes.

"And this is...?"

"Jiang Chen! The Fourteenth Prince from 'Palace'!" Xie Na blurted out, her voice as loud as ever, "And also Baili Tusu, the male lead from 'Swords of Legends'!"

After the introductions, the Happy Family guided the two teams of guests to their seats on either side of the stage.

The cast and crew of "Swords of Legends" are on the left, and the cast and crew of "The Sky We Watch" are on the right.

The center of the stage was left empty for the upcoming game segment.

The first few segments were traditional games from Happy Camp.

Two pairs of "telepathic" games were played first, with one person acting out the gestures and the other guessing.

Chen Weiting and Ma Tianyu teamed up. Chen Weiting gestured "flying on a sword," but Ma Tianyu guessed it as "playing badminton," causing the whole audience to burst into laughter.

Next up is the "lyric relay," where the two production teams compete against each other to see who can finish the lyrics of a given theme.

The host intentionally or unintentionally focused the camera more on "The Sky We Watch Over," and Lin Shen reacted quickly when answering the lyrics, earning praise from He Jiong twice.

Only Yang Mi gets called out frequently; the others are mostly just background figures.

As the game session came to a close, the lights dimmed a little.

He Jiong: "We've been looking forward to this next segment for a long time."

Xie Na chimed in from the side, "Yes! Because someone wants to sing!"

"This isn't your average song," He Jiong said, turning his gaze to the left side of the stage, a deeper meaning in his smile. "This song is the theme song for the yet-to-be-released TV series 'Swords of Legends'."

"Let's welcome Jiang Chen to bring us 'Sword Heart'!"

The lights dimmed again, plunging the entire studio into a deep blue.

The LED screen behind the stage lit up, revealing distant mountains rendered in ink wash style, and an ancient sword slowly emerged from the center of the image.

Under the spotlight, a figure slowly walked out from the side stage.

Jiang Chen changed into a white ancient costume.

She wore a long robe with wide sleeves, a silver silk sash tied around her waist, and her hair was tied up high with a wig, revealing her entire face.

He had delicate features, a high nose bridge, and held an unsheathed sword in his hand, the tassel swaying gently in the lamplight.

The young girls in the audience all gasped in surprise.

Is he really that handsome?

The song we're going to sing later will definitely be good.

After all, they can tell whether something sounds good or not just by looking at it!

Jiang Chen walked to the center of the stage, stood still, and slightly raised his eyes.

Li Xin watched intently, and she suddenly recalled a passage from "Dream of the Red Chamber" when Lin Daiyu first met Baoyu.

"His face was like the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, and his complexion like the flowers at dawn in spring! His sideburns were as if cut by a knife, his eyebrows as if painted with ink, his face like peach petals, and his eyes like autumn waves. Even when angry, he seemed to be smiling, and even when glaring, he was affectionate."

The prelude begins.

It is a guzheng solo.

The clear, melodious voice seemed to come from an ancient temple deep in the mountains, carrying a desolate and ancient feel.

Then the electric guitar enters, its distorted tone like a lightning bolt cleaving through the ancient feel, pulling the whole song into a completely new space.

Chinese style intertwines with symphonic music, and the guzheng and electric guitar collide.

"The soul, sealed away in the brilliance of the stars, awakens the bewildered soul from a dazed nightmare..."

Jiang Chen began to sing, slowly drawing the sword from his hand.

The sword was not sharpened, yet it reflected a chilling light under the stage lights.

With a slight twist of his wrist, the tassel of his sword swung out in a clean arc, and he immediately began to wield his sword.

This is not some perfunctory display of fancy moves seen on variety shows, nor is it a stiff, staged pose; it is genuine, authentic swordsmanship.

Chop, thrust, flick, and hook—each move is steady and powerful, generating gusts of wind with each action.

The wide white sleeves billowed and stretched with the sharp sword movements, like a swirling snowstorm, instantly creating a powerful atmosphere.

This is the result of his learning from Zhang Zhiyao for more than two months.

Hard work always pays off!

Jiang Chen has always understood this principle.

If you quietly immerse yourself in learning and practice, one day you'll find an opportunity to show off... no, to display your talents.

"...Unveiling this long-forgotten outline has awakened a slumbering soul..."

During the chorus, he suddenly spun around, his sword following his movements, drawing a silver circle.

The white, wide sleeves spread out like clouds, then fell back down.

The sword tip points to the ground, and the person stands ramrod straight.

"Go to war, face the vastness of heaven and earth!"

As he sang this line, the tip of his sword suddenly flicked upwards, pointing towards the sky.

The ancient sword on the screen seemed to sense something, and its light shone brightly.

The entire venue was silent for a moment, then erupted in cheers.

Holy crap!!!

"What song is this?"

"It sounds so good!"

"My brother knows kung fu?"

"That turn just now... I died..."

"Wearing white ancient costume and wielding a sword... I died twice..."

As the last note faded, Jiang Chen sheathed his sword and bowed to the audience.

The audience erupted in applause, more enthusiastic than ever before.

Only Xie Na, for some reason, suddenly felt a pang of heartache...

It's so inexplicable!

He Jiong returned to the stage and stood next to Jiang Chen. "This outfit... is this how they dress in the show?"

"Pretty much," Jiang Chen said. "The makeup for Baili Tusu has been simplified a bit to make it easier for stage performances."

He Jiong nodded, then turned to the audience, "Do you all think he's handsome?"

"handsome!!!"

He Jiong smiled and glanced at the guests on both sides: "We have two film crews here today, so we can't show favoritism. Let's start by asking Wang Lin, Lin Shen, and Li Xin from 'The Sky We Watch Over,' could you recommend your new drama to everyone?"

Wang Lin took the microphone, "Our drama tells the story of families with children with autism. It's very heartwarming and realistic. I play Mo Huiya, a somewhat domineering stepmother, and I have many scenes with Xin Xin. I hope everyone will pay attention. It will premiere on March 14th on Hunan TV's Golden Mango Theater."

Li Xin continued, "The character I play, Grape, is a very strong girl. After her mother passed away, she single-handedly cared for her autistic brother, facing many difficulties but never giving up. The drama has tearful moments as well as funny moments, making it suitable for the whole family to watch."

Lin Shen added at the end, "I am Mo Li, Mo Huiya's son, and Grape is my childhood sweetheart. Our love story... is quite complicated, with misunderstandings and moments of protection. Everyone, please prepare your tissues."
