I am not Ximen Qing.

What was a problem during Ximen Qing's era?

"It's the problem of upper-class women finding it difficult to find a partner. There are so many wealthy single women, and they are the most charming girls."

"Can you guess why they all chose..."

Why did they all choose Ximen Qing? Did the times favor Ximen Qing? Pan Jinlian, Sun Xue'e, Li Jiao'er, Meng Yulou, Li Ping'er, and Wu Yueniang seemed to have no choice but to be with Ximen Qing.

"But Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing were truly in love!"

"How can you prove that the two people having an affair are truly in love?"

"Haven't you ever experienced a sudden, unexpected love like that of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian? If Pan Jinlian were Juliet and Ximen Qing were Romeo, wouldn't anyone engage in some kind of moralistic discrimination? The way love is discriminated against in drama is unlike the way Othello and Desdemona's love is discriminated against. Actually, Desdemona was madly in love with Othello; at least she experienced love. Her love succeeded, arousing Othello's jealousy, leading him to choose to kill the beautiful woman." Consider this: did Wu Song truly love Pan Jinlian? At least, the roles of Wu Dalang and the child of the Fairy Queen's follower in *A Midsummer Night's Dream* are the same—to incite the Fairy King's jealousy. Wu Song might harbor the same jealousy as Othello. Was Wu Song jealous of Wu Dalang or Ximen Qing? However, looking at Pan Jinlian's death in *Jin Ping Mei*, Wu Song and Othello seem almost like they were possessed by the same spirit. Ximen Qing found love and a sense of romance in Pan Jinlian, just as Othello found love and a sense of romance in Desdemona.

Is the search for love and romantic love simply a search for Pan Jinlian?

"But you have to become Ximen Qing!"

"I am not Ximen Qing."

"Yes, when we're just ordinary people, how could we possibly be Ximen Qing?"

"So it's too difficult to become Ximen Qing."

"Zhang Sheng met Yingying and Hongniang while he was worshipping Buddha."

"Ximen Qing encountered Wang Po and Pan Jinlian while he was strolling around."

What's the difference?

"Ximen Qing's love and affection are rampant, while Zhang Sheng's love and affection are almost a matter of life and death. Ximen Qing will not die if he cannot have Pan Jinlian, but Zhang Sheng may die if he cannot have Yingying's love and affection. In Yuan Shen's 'The Story of Yingying,' Yingying is forever trapped in the lost paradise of love."

"Mr. Yang, things are getting a bit chaotic. Just because I'm not Ximen Qing, we can't write Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer Night's Dream, Romance of the Western Chamber, Desdemona, or Jin Ping Mei. Is the collision of Eastern and Western cultures in time and space just so that everyone is happy just because I'm not Ximen Qing?"

"No, no, no, in the end, it should be Ximen Qing who died."

"I've gone to hell."

"Reincarnation".

"It turned into a dog and a cat."

"That's a bit too much. In the original story, the characters were reincarnated as humans, at least the protagonists in Jin Ping Mei weren't turned into beasts."

"That's not exciting enough."

"Ximen Qing was reincarnated as a cat or a dog."

"Cats and dogs became pets, and suddenly one day the cats and dogs could talk. I am not Ximen Qing."

"This design isn't enough; the cats and dogs also have to accidentally fall into the water."

"Then the pets that chant Amitabha Buddha's name will be in the swimming pool where the pets swim."

"Yes, not suicide, but..."

"In case of an emergency, chant the name of Amitabha Buddha."

"To be reborn as a human."

"That doesn't make sense."

"It must have been listening to the Diamond Sutra and attaining Nirvana between life and death, proving that all things can become Buddhas and have Buddha-nature."

"Stop it, everyone. We're ruining Jin Ping Mei. What am I trying to say?"

"Mr. Yang, they have all betrayed Ximen Qing."

"Wrong, Wu Yueniang didn't."

"Sometimes, Mr. Yang... is this alright?"

Yang Yulei is currently stuck in a rut with his script for "I Am Not Ximen Qing," and he's extremely frustrated. Meanwhile, his girlfriend is showing, though for some reason. Yang Yulei keeps having a recurring nightmare where Guan Ge is crying to him. This is all a consequence of writing that damned script; he's experiencing some kind of personality split, constantly caught in a vortex of "I Am Not Ximen Qing" versus "Ximen Qing," exhibiting signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He dreams of Li Ping'er carrying Guang Ge to find him, shouting, "Get out of here! I'm not Ximen Qing! Ximen Qing killed you all! Don't look for me! I'm not Ximen Qing!"

"Mr. Yang, wake up! What's wrong, Mr. Yang? You're having another nightmare."

"Do you believe it? My soul was locked by Li Ping'er and Guan Ge'er."

"Mr. Yang, has our team gone astray? It's starting to resemble ghost stories. We're supposed to be creating..."

"Creation, creation what? Creation of fantasy. Without writing fantasy stories, we can't proceed."

“Mr. Yang, what you have is quantum entanglement. You have made contact with the ghosts of the unknown world. It is not quantum entanglement.”

"This is quite a wild idea. What I'm thinking about could lead to quantum entanglement?"

"more or less."

"Mr. Yang, this isn't exciting enough. It needs intense conflict and must adhere to scientific logic. The protagonist is a billionaire with personality problems, too many lovers, mental issues, and a persistent fantasy of being Ximen Qing."

"Isn't that great?"

"What's so great about it? His enormous wealth is going to be divided up."

"What does the fantasy have to do with Ximen Qing and dividing up the property?"

"His wife wants to send him to a mental hospital so she can seize all his assets!"

"Ah, this is starting to make progress. We need to figure out a way to wake him up from his dream. I'm not Ximen Qing, am I?"

"A kind of Don Quixote-like self-redemption. An awakening from the code of chivalry."

"Yes, Mr. Yang, the one who tied the knot must untie it, right?"

"I get it now, that's a brilliant idea, but it makes some sense. My wife's trap—AI ing—quantum entanglement and quantum ghosts make their dazzling debut."

"Mr. Yang, it can't be too high-end."

"Japanese dolls?"

"It's still too high-end."

"Understood. A grand drama of seduction of the husband, a family's seduction chaos. Six beauties, plus a Wu the Fairy using illusion magic, claiming to be worth hundreds of millions under the guise of human weakness, bring out Pan Jinlian, Meng Yulou, Li Ping'er, Li Jiao'er, Wu Yueniang, Sun Xue'e, and a cheering squad of Pang Chunmei, Qiu Ju, Xiuchun, Yingchun, Song Huilian, Li Guijie, Han Aiyue, and Wang Liu'er. They seduce the billionaire husband's family. He has a split personality, unable to find himself, fantasizing about becoming the real Ximen Qing, making it the greatest murder mystery game ever, role-playing."

"President Yang is too ruthless. Can a man like him withstand such a cruel joke? Even if he doesn't become Ximen Qing, he should still see through the illusions of the world. Love is always present across mountains and rivers. He should detach himself from the world and see through everything. Even if he doesn't choose to become a monk, he should still be empty, truly empty."

"But we also signed a contract with Yiwan to pull him out of Ximen Qing's fantasy, and there's a huge bonus for that."

“Fight fire with fire.”

"Use beauty to attack beauty."

"Beauties reign supreme."

"The Schemes of a Beauty".

"Yes, we studied Billionaire's diary. He was like Ximen Qing, because he had a crush on a beautiful woman."

"Where are the beautiful women from?"

"A bronze artifact from an ancient tomb in Handan during the Warring States period."

"Let's forget about bronze artifacts; it should be a mural. It depicts a beautiful woman from the Warring States period, Zhao Ji, also known as Zhao Meiren."

"Is Yiwan a tomb raider?"

"Yiwan used to be an antique dealer."

"He's possessed by a ghost."

"I was captivated by the beauties in the murals in the ancient tomb."

"That's why he became so addicted to the world of Jin Ping Mei, unable to extricate himself."

"His wife also has a gigolo boyfriend."

"There must be a Zhao Feiyan who can captivate the Han emperor."

"Searching for Zhao Ji, the Beauty of Zhao".

"I understand now. It's a Don Quixote-like obsession, and also a common trait among all men, who know perfectly well that Dulcinea and Lin Daiyu are fictional characters who don't exist."

"But as long as Zhao Ji, the beauty, exists, isn't that enough?"

"But where can we find Lady Zhao?"

"Zhao Meiren is searching for herself in the real world."

"We need to save millions of people with split personalities."

"We must find Zhao Meiren, right?"

"Hold open auditions, beauty pageants, and let billionaires become..."
