A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

The Twelve Golden Hairpins of the Red Chamber are divided into the main volume, the supplementary volume, and the second supplementary volume.

Among the twelve golden hairpins in the main volume, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, Shi Xiangyun, Miaoyu, Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing and other ten all entered Lu Cheng's harem.

After Lu Cheng established the country, in the secondary list of the Twelve Golden Hairpins, in addition to Xiangling, Ping'er, Xing Xiuyun, Baozhu, and Ruizhu who had already entered the palace, Li Wan's sisters Li Wen and Li Qi later entered the palace through the selection. There was also Xue Baoqin from the Xue family, who was valued by Lu Cheng and selected into the palace thanks to the relationship with her cousin Xue Baochai, the imperial concubine.

There are also Qingwen and Yuanyang in the second volume of the Twelve Golden Hairpins, Zijuan, Jinchuan and Yuchuan, the maids around Daiyu, and Ying'er, Xue Baochai's personal maid, who also entered the palace with their masters.

Of course, there are thousands of beauties in the world, not just the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. There are those who are stunningly beautiful, with beautiful faces like flowers and the moon. There are those who are dignified and gentle, virtuous and kind. There are those who are playful and cute, lively and smart. There are those who are exotic, good at singing and dancing.

However, Lu Cheng is a person who loves new things but not old ones. His favorites are Daiyu, Xiangling, and Qingwen who have been with him from the beginning, followed by Yuan Ying, Tan Xi, Xiangyun, and so on.

Time flies like an arrow, years pass by like a shuttle, time is like flowing water, and it will never look back.

In this life, after completing the great cause of unifying the world, Lu Cheng did not have much attachment to the throne. Instead, he spent some time and energy to personally teach his princes.

After the princes had been trained to a certain level, Lu Cheng asked them to hide their identities and join various departments of the empire, starting from the bottom to practice and hone their abilities.

The eldest prince born to Lu Cheng and Daiyu began to supervise state affairs and learn how to be a king at the age of 25.

Afterwards, the second prince born to Lu Cheng and Baochai was sent to the European continent, the third prince born to Yuanchun was sent to the North American continent, and the fourth prince born to Wang Xifeng was sent to govern the Australian continent...

After he turned fifty, Lu Cheng was basically in a semi-retired state, leaving everything to his children, while he traveled around the world with his women, enjoying himself.

Lu Cheng would only occasionally step in and offer some guidance when his sons were unable to handle the situation.

When Lu Cheng was sixty years old, he had completely retired and left his sons to take over everything in the empire.

For many people of this generation, sixty years old is basically the end of their lives.

But for Lu Cheng, who can live up to 200 years, he is still in his prime and has plenty of time to live a carefree life.

Since then, the world has entered a stage of rapid development under the leadership of the empire, and scientific and technological civilization has advanced rapidly.

There are occasional rebellions in major states around the world, but they are quickly quelled and are not of major concern.

After Lu Cheng turned 100 years old, the women around him gradually left him.

Someone like Wang Xifeng, who started out old and had no talent for martial arts, would only live to about 120 years old even if she had elixirs that could prolong her life, and then her life would come to an end.

When Lu Cheng was 150 years old, the only women who could still stay by his side were Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangling, Qingwen and a few other women who had reached the level of alchemy.

When he was 185 years old, Lu Cheng saw off Daiyu, who was the last to leave, and flipped through the thick genealogy of the Lu royal family. He only glanced at the number of seventh, eighth, and ninth generation descendants, and did not have much affection for these descendants, after all, they were too far away.

Nearly two hundred years have passed, witnessing the ups and downs of the world.

The world seems to be a long dream. Everything that happened yesterday is still fresh in our ears. Youth to old age is just a blink of an eye.

More than a thousand years is really too long. With reincarnations and restarts again and again, the path we have taken before has become increasingly blurred, and we still don’t know where the path we will take in the future will lead.

"Congratulations host, you have completed the reincarnation mission in this world, your father's last wish... The rewards are as follows..."

"Searching for the next world to travel through... Abnormal mental fluctuations detected in the host. Do you want to seal the memory and start the next reincarnation again?"

"Reincarnation?" Lu Cheng suddenly realized and couldn't help but think of his first time traveling through time. His first mission was also his father's wish, for He Xiu Lian to live a peaceful and happy life.

The Red Mansion mission that had just been completed also made Daiyu feel safe and happy.

Is all this also a cycle?

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng suddenly recalled a joke that he had seen in later generations: Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge wanted to resign and reincarnate, but after drinking a bowl of Meng Po soup, she forgot everything about her past and was reappointed as Meng Po.

Looking at the word "reincarnation", Lu Cheng was a little dazed for a moment.

Reincarnation for a hundred lifetimes, praying to change your fate. Walking through the heavens, reborn in another life...reborn...

Lu Cheng suddenly realized that he had walked too far and seemed to have almost forgotten the way home.

Where is your home?

"Temporarily seal past memories, retain original memories, retain skills, and start a new reincarnation..."

I don't know how much time has passed, thousands of years, ten thousand years? Or even longer? It was so long that Lu Cheng was a little dazed.

When the system voice sounded again, Lu Cheng finally realized that the reincarnation seemed to have come to an end:

"Congratulations host, you have completed the 100-life reincarnation mission and can be reborn in the original world once. Please set the time of rebirth: before the college entrance examination at the age of 18, graduate from university at the age of 22... the night before you suddenly die from overtime at the age of 26..."

"Choose, before the college entrance examination at the age of 18."

"Since the host has reincarnated for hundreds of lifetimes and completed the mission well, you can now select three skills from the panel and save one talent. The skills are as follows: Medical Saint, Military God, Calligraphy Saint, Painting Saint, Agricultural Saint, Music Saint, Cooking God, Fishing Saint, Computer... Mechanical Engineering...

The talents are as follows: extraordinary endurance, freedom of control, favorable weather, and a palace of memory..."

"System, can't these skills and talents be completely preserved?"

"The host's own skills and knowledge reserves are already more than 200 years ahead of the original world. Only some of the skills are enough...

In addition, the host can use the remaining destiny points to exchange for the elixirs and supplies in the cross-border backpack..."

"System, after my rebirth, will all my memories of reincarnations disappear?"

"This is up to the host to explore on his own. Perhaps everything will be sealed, or perhaps... Please allow this system to say its final farewell. Thank you for the host's companionship for 18,000 years."

"Thank you for letting me experience hundreds of different lives. Can I ask, System, where do you come from? Where are you going?"

"I can't tell you where I came from. As for where I'm going, the system will choose a new host and start a new reincarnation mission."

"What will this new host choose?"

"All the readers currently staring at the screen have the possibility of becoming the next host..."

Lu Cheng felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he seemed to have entered a strange time tunnel. He saw countless scenes passing by, and they all seemed familiar, like the roads he had walked before, the scenery he had seen, and the people he had met...

When Lu Cheng woke up from his trance, he found himself in the classroom, surrounded by familiar high school classmates.

"Who am I? Where is this? What time is it?"

After asking these three questions in his mind, Lu Cheng seemed to have found himself all of a sudden: I am Lu Cheng, an eighteen-year-old senior high school student.

Turning around, I saw banners hanging on the walls around the classroom, and a poster was written on the blackboard at the back:

After ten years of hard study, I hope for a bright future; after a hundred days of hard work, I vow to get my name on the list of successful candidates!

Work hard for a hundred days and change your life.

Looking down at the "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation" in his hand, Lu Cheng suddenly found that every question on it seemed to become extremely simple, as if he had done it many times before.

After coming to his senses, Lu Cheng felt as if there were a lot more things in his mind, and as if he had forgotten a lot of things.

"Why bother with him so much? I think I'm cheating!"

Not long after the mock exam ended, the head teacher held the total score and looked at Lu Cheng who was sitting below with some disbelief: "Student Lu Cheng, your progress this time surprised the teacher. Do you have any study skills and methods that you can share with everyone?"

More than a hundred days later, the college entrance examination results were announced, and Lu Cheng successfully won the provincial top spot in science with a score close to full marks.

When school started in September, when Lu Cheng stepped into the gate of Shuimu University with his admission letter, he was suddenly bumped by a freshman female student who was walking behind him.

"Excuse me, classmate. Are you here to register as well? My name is Lu Yi. I'm from northern Shaanxi. I'm a freshman majoring in economics. Would you like to meet me?"

Lu Cheng looked at the enthusiastic female classmate in front of him and felt that she was somewhat familiar, so he reached out and shook her hand: "Hello, my name is Lu Cheng, majoring in computer science..."

At this moment, a senior student in the student union uniform happened to pass by and said, "Hello, classmate, are you from the School of Computer Science? I am also from the School of Computer Science, your sophomore sister. Come on, follow me to register..."

Lu Cheng always felt that the senior schoolmate in front of him was also inexplicably familiar. He took a look at the name tag hanging on her chest and saw a name written on it: Cheng Xiaoxu…
