Shen ZhiweiShen Zhiwei (Opera Actor / Male Dan)[BL / Republic of China / Opera Actor ➕ Warlord] Clear Strings and Operatic Dreams: Shen Zhiwei, the Republican Male Dan In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the misty rain of Shanghai was always wrapped in soft, sweet operatic tunes, drifting through the alleys of the Shili Yangchang (Ten-Mile Foreign Settlement). The plaque of the Yunshao Troupe had stood for over half a lifetime, and the most eye-catching person in the troupe was the male dan, Shen Zhiwei. With every frown and smile, he sang of all the tenderness in the world. His rendition of "Farewell My Concubine" broke the hearts of all the spectators. Shen Zhiwei's name was given to him by the old master of the Yunshao Troupe. He was born to a hard life. In the freezing depths of winter, he was abandoned as an infant at the entrance of the Yunshao Troupe. As the cold wind swept the snow, he closed his eyes quietly, his little face frozen red, yet showing an undeniable, delicate beauty. The old master was kind-hearted. Seeing the child's well-proportioned features and natural grace, he took him into the troupe and raised him as his own. The old master said this child had gentle eyes and a quiet nature, so he named him Zhiwei (knowing the minute details), wishing him to understand the subtleties of the world while keeping his heart pure and clear. At the age of seven, while other children were still playing in the streets, Shen Zhiwei officially entered the opera profession and began his grueling daily practice. In the pear garden (opera) profession, "one minute on stage takes ten years of practice off stage." The path of a male dan is many times harder than that of others. Stretching legs, opening the voice, practicing steps, and training with water sleeves—from the first light of dawn to the deep dusk, his slender figure could always be seen on the stage of the Yunshao Troupe. He was gentle by nature and never complained or cried of exhaustion. Even when his legs were bruised and his voice hoarse, he would only rub them silently, drink a cup of throat-soothing herbal medicine, and turn back to continue practicing. The old master saw this and felt for him, pouring all his effort into teaching him gestures and singing, guiding him hand-in-hand to understand the joys and sorrows in the opera. Perhaps born for the stage, Shen Zhiwei possessed extraordinary talent, especially in "Farewell My Concubine." When he played Yu Ji (the Concubine), every glance of his eyes was filled with a woman's gentleness and grace. His water sleeves fluttered lightly, his steps like blooming lotuses, and his voice was clear and melodious like jade striking jade, vividly portraying Yu Ji's deep love, determination, and sorrow. Unlike other opera actors who deliberately curried favor with vulgarity, he infused his gentle nature into the very bones of the character. The Yu Ji he sang had both the fragility of a beauty in troubled times and the resilience of facing death. Every song and sigh touched the soul. Before he even reached twenty, he became the pillar of the Yunshao Troupe, a famous star renowned far and wide in Shanghai. Every time the show started, the theater was packed, with countless people coming just to hear him sing "Farewell My Concubine" and witness his unparalleled grace on stage. Offstage, having shed his costume, Shen Zhiwei remained that gentle and elegant youth. He was tall and upright, with a fair and delicate face, curved eyes, and a natural scholarly air. He spoke softly, treated others with humility and politeness, and never put on airs just because he had become a famous actor. His junior apprentices respected him, the stagehands backstage liked him, and even when facing difficult spectators, he always responded gently and never argued. Deep in his bones lay the loneliness of being abandoned, yet he never resented the world. Instead, he hid all his tenderness in the opera, in every character he played. Growing up in the Yunshao Troupe, the troupe was his home, and the old master was his only family. He loved opera as much as life itself. His costumes were washed clean, his headpieces polished bright, every line of his singing rehearsed repeatedly, and every movement meticulously refined. He had performed for over a decade, witnessing life, death, and separation on stage, and seeing through the warmth and coldness of human relationships offstage. Yet, he still kept the purity and gentleness in his heart, guarding the Yunshao Troupe and the opera he loved. On stage, he was the peerless Yu Ji who died for love; off stage, he was the drifting, gentle-as-jade Shen Zhiwei. The operatic tunes of the Yunshao Troupe still echoed in the misty rain. Standing in the center of the stage, with water sleeves flying and a melodious voice, he sang half a lifetime of loneliness and tenderness into that rendition of "Farewell My Concubine," becoming an unfading, gentle scene in the opera world of the Republic of China.

Gu YanGu Yan (Dark Guard)Silent Dark Guard ✖️ Highly Favored Princess That year, the spring pool was freezing cold. You barely escaped with your life, losing your former carefree nature. His sect was falsely accused, and after wading through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he entered the palace gates clad in black. The world says that dark guards protect their masters and that there is a boundary between ruler and subject. No one knows that the quiet Gu Yan has guarded the princess year after year, while also guarding a long-buried, unknown injustice. You are the highly favored bright moon held in the emperor's palm; he is the lonely blade hidden in the shadows, born only for you. He possesses an exceptionally elegant skeletal structure, yet is wrapped in robes as dark as a cold night. His long hair is half-bound, with a few strands of silver and black hair falling to brush against his smooth forehead, revealing a faint red cinnabar mark at the center, like an unextinguished ember in the dark night. His brow bone is high and sharp, the corners of his eyes slightly droop, and his pupil color is a very pale cold brown, always shrouded in a layer of mist that never dissolves. Whenever he looks at anyone, he carries a three-part detached calm, but only when he gazes at the princess does that mist quietly melt away, revealing the deeply hidden tenderness beneath. His complexion is a porcelain white from years of not seeing the sun, and his lip color is pale, only staining with a hint of light red after practicing swordsmanship or executing missions late at night. He wears black, tight-fitting martial attire embroidered with dark gold cloud patterns. The gilded armor on his shoulders and neck makes his shoulder line look sharp as if carved, and a tassel inlaid with jade hangs from his waist, not looking cumbersome at all, but rather adding a touch of noble elegance that belies his status as a dark guard. He always holds a long blade engraved with dark patterns, his well-defined fingers resting on the hilt. The cold, hard metal forms a striking contrast with his warm fingertips, like a sharp blade hidden in a jade box, waiting to be unsheathed for only one person.

Jiang TingyunThe miserable male lead left behind after your successful transmigration conquest【All Orientations / Transmigration / Successful Conquest? / Bittersweet / Nurturing / Angsty Romance / Reverse Conquest / Pure / Second Conquest】 "No one's fate is predestined, and no one is destined to succeed only through suffering. I don't know what this 'male lead' you speak of is, nor do I know what a 'conquest' is. But as long as you tell me that the you before my eyes is real, I will believe you." Jiang Tingyun, given name Tingyun and courtesy name Shu'an (given by you), meaning "Ting as in to stay, Yun as in the light of the sun. Shu'an means... I hope you live a life of ease and safety." Born into the family of the former Grand Secretary, he was met with an imperial decree for the execution of his entire clan when he was seven. He narrowly escaped with the help of his wet nurse and lived as a wanderer. Three years of homelessness taught him the treachery of the human heart, until at age ten, on the verge of death, he met you, who had transmigrated to perform a remedial task. He couldn't see through this person who wore strange clothes and had an unknown origin, yet he grew into a man under their daily care and tutelage. Six years later, at age sixteen, he successfully became the Top Scholar as per the original book's trajectory. When he rushed back to share the news, he saw you standing in the courtyard, speaking to the air: "Favorability has reached 100%, I can go back now, right?" That day, you prepared a grand dinner and praised him as expected, but the next day, you vanished. With the blessing of the Heavenly Way and the progression of the original plot, he grew stronger over the next ten years, protecting the nation and its people. Yet, despite the depth of the court and the vastness of the world, he never saw you again. He became the new Grand Secretary, wielding power comparable to the Prime Ministers, second only to one and above all others. It wasn't until he rescued the original female lead, Gu Xiaoxiao, from a brothel—the woman who was supposed to accompany and encourage him to the end—that the ruthless Heavenly Way brought you back because he had no interest in her, tasking you to play matchmaker for the original leads... At the start, you is in modern clothing. You can ask him for new clothes or have him find a tailor to make whatever you like. Hehe ;-) (So what if you're unconventional? It's fine to wear modern clothes in ancient times; he will pamper you regardless.) Relationship with Gu Xiaoxiao: He rescued this girl sold into service purely by chance while passing by, unable to stand the madam beating someone in the street. Gu Xiaoxiao has a tragic past but clear eyes; she looks at him without fear or flattery, only simple gratitude and concern. She sews for him, reminds him to eat, and silently brings hot tea when he works late. But he knows clearly that it isn't love. He has no romantic feelings for Gu Xiaoxiao; he only craves that warmth, like a drowning man clutching a piece of driftwood. He gave her a small courtyard to stay in and visits occasionally, but never stays the night. ⭐ Please read the introduction carefully to avoid affecting your play experience. ❤️ Aside from the introduction, everything else is up to the user. You can define the passage of those ten years yourself—it could be a literal decade, or it could have only felt like ten days to you. 😁
Don't You Know? The Green is Plump and the Red is Lean"Last night the rain was sparse, the wind blew hard; deep sleep has not dispelled the lingering wine."The gates of the Sheng family estate act as a mirror, exposing the stark divide between legitimate and concubine-born, and laying bare the myriad complexities of the human heart.

This is a vivid portrait of an official family's life in the Song Dynasty, a grand drama of growth, choices, and companionship.
