Chapter 1Chapter 1

I looked at the palatial like house for the last time before finally entering the black rolls royce cullinan.

"Young master take this" Jerry my English driver said with a slight Irish accent. In his hand were black eye contacts.

Taking them I began putting them on "Thank you Jerry" I said. My mother was a mixed blood. Her mother being European and Father being Korean Chinese. She inherited her mother's ice cold blue eyes later giving them to me. Only me which made my siblings very jealous. But when I put on my contacts I looked like any normal Chinese-Korean boy who was slightly handsome.

"Not a problem Young master" he said as he started the car.

Good bye skiing, boating and traveling. Damnit I already missed home.

Jerry looking at the expression of the young master wanted to laugh they weren't even half way out from his hidden home.

Arriving at the bus station, Jerry made his way to open the door for me, for the last time or maybe not.

As soon as I got off I looked at the dark quiet night. Today was the last day of Chinese New year. It was three o'clock in the morning so I had some waiting to do.

The place was empty but it was to be expected from a train station especially this early in the morning. Here the trains start moving from six in the morning to nine at night and as you'd expect very cold, I don't make the rules.

"Young master" being taken out of my thoughts Jerry handed me a worn out suitcase that my father had used in his training and a slightly old blue bag that looked like it would last me a year and six months.

He also put a blue mastercard on my hand. Looks like no black cards and gold cards for me. That put a frown on my face, which meant no spending sprees. Also the realisation that I will no longer be living with my family.

"This card has enough money to last you a year after that you're on your own. The bag pack has all your school supplies as well as a cell phone. Your electricity bill has already been paid as well as your rent which would last you a year as well. If you ever need to give up just give me a call and I'll be on my way" Jerry finished.

"I understand Jerry and you don't have to worry about me giving up. I don't plan on it plus who knows I may get a wife in the process" sending him a smirk a smile appeared on his face.

"I would expect nothing less from my young master" he said and I made my way inside the train station I raised my hand in a waving manner.

Before turning and watching him drive away.

Letting out a deep sigh I tried to calm my fast beating heart. Surprisingly it was of excitement and a little fear. I was expecting to be overpowered by the fear and I'm glad I wasn't.

Taking a seat on the bench a distance away from the train tracks I opened my bag pack and took out the cellphone Jerry had mentioned and low and behold it was a button phone not that I minded.

I went through it and found a few games on it, before playing them I glanced at the phones battery and seeing that it was three bars I 'tsked' as I put it away.

Seating there for what I could guess was two hours because slowly people started entering the train station. As I looked around I noticed people on their phones some like me were sitting down or leaning on the wall or tall poles .A lengthy boy who looked to be my age and height which was 170cm making his way to me or the bench I was on.

He had a military crew cut and dragon-like eyes, a bit tan but he was not bad looking. With his blank stare and slightly bored eyes he looked like a ladies man. He also looked like the neighborhood gangsta you would hear about.

"Is this seat taken?" he asked his voice a bit rough and a little deep. It seemed like he lowered it to not scare me.

Sending him a smile I replied "No no it's not taken you can seat" he looked shocked at how I reacted to him, my guess is that he is stereotyped based on how he looks. But I won't do that I was raised better than that.

"So what's your name?" I asked after he sat down.

"Zaden..." he murmured wondering why I was talking to him.

"Well Zaden my name is Carden , wait don't our names rhyme. You know what they say rhyming names..." he looked at me in question.

"What do they say?"

"That those whose names rhyme were brothers in their last life" I raised my hand in a handshake motion.

"..."

"So brother please take care of me." I finished as he moved his hand to mine. Looking at his expression he looked like he wanted to ran away coughing a bit to cover up my amusement I put my hand over my mouth.

"So where are you going?" I asked as I settled back in my seat.

"...Xiaochéng" he said as he looked at his watch probably wondering when the train would arrive.

"How surprising this brother is also going to Xiaochéng" I beamed at him.

Zaden squinted his eyes as if Cardan's smile was blinding.

Before he could say anything the sound of the train coming was heard which prompted both of them to stand up.

I took my bag pack and suitcase and with Zaden beside me we made our way inside the train. I sat next to him as I watched the inside of the train in wonder after all it had been my first time inside a train and it wasn't as bad as I had imagined. Maybe because there were few people.

"Your first time on a train?" I turned to Zaden who had asked, I hadn't expected him to speak with me let alone start a conversation with me.

"Yes it is, before now I didn't need to use a train to get to a place" I wasn't lying when I said that after all I would use planes, cars or ships sometimes it depended on the occasion or where I was going.

"I see" was all he said before making himself comfortable inside the train, following his behaviour I did the same thing.

The Legendary Actor

After getting the final relief from his past sufferings, Chu Jiashu was given a second chance when he found himself in the body of an infant from an aristocratic family of Hall. Now, nothing is going to stop him from achieving his long-cherished dream of acting. Enter Renly Hall, a Hollywood miracle of 21st century. Note from the translator - from me, that is. "Honestly, I get frustrated too much when I look at countless subpar novels being translated day after day. So much human resources wasted. I kinda get what Qidian International is doing, but it is just, I can't bear the notion of having so many wonderful novels that belong to the Chinese platform to be left in the dust. English-speaking community should know of the existence of such brilliant works, and more so, they should enjoy them. The novel is by a Chinese dude "Qiqi Jia D Mao Mao", whatever that might mean, who wrote several showbiz novels (he is probably the best at what he is doing). It is not my work, I'm just a dude who, with the help of two free machine translators (DeepL and good ol' Google), can show you a hidden gem. Wait, you said machine translators? Sadly, yes. I can't speak Chinese at all, but fortunately, this novel is structured in a machine-translation-friendly way, like really so. Most of the time context is saved. I'm just polishing the edges with my superb (not really) editing skills, so you all chaps have a splendid experience with this good staff indeed. Actually, you can go and read machine translation or just wait for my updates. Up to you dudes and dudies. And then I go away...blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb....." P.S. "I am a knife for a hire. So the managers of the site can employ me for this novel, but please don't remove it. Oh, please, I'm begging you on my knees. You guys won't even think of translating this novel, and here I am "translating" it for free,.... well for the time being, that is mwahahaha!" P.S. for P.S. This novel does not contain the following: Harem, definitely not NTR, stupid characters, NTR again (God, I hate NTR (secretly beating the meat for a one in hentai)) But this novel contains: Great storyline, relatable characters, realistic situations, very fun moments as well as tear jerking ones (so much so, you will find your throat hella sore from crying all the time), surprise after surprise for the decisions that author went with. You will have a good time indeed WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!

As time passed, the Philippines remained under Spanish rule until it was finally passed on to Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, in 1920. But Alfonso, wise beyond his years, saw the plight of the Filipino people and understood their deep desire for independence in their hearts. He made a momentous decision – renouncing his claim to the Spanish throne and requesting to govern the Philippines instead. Surprisingly, the Spanish monarch agreed to this arrangement, and Alfonso was given the unique responsibility of managing the Philippines as a separate entity.
