Chapter 4

In a villa in Shanghai.

Liu Yifei, who had just finished a day of movie filming, was lying lazily on the sofa, accompanied by her mother.

As soon as she lay down, she took out her phone with practiced ease.

After all, she had a bit of a "homebody" attribute.

"Sisi, it's very late, go to sleep early. Don't be on your phone all day long."

Liu Yifei pouted.

I'm already 25, okay?

Mom still treats her like a 5-year-old child all day long.

However, Xu Feng would say, don't talk about 25, even at 35 you'd be the same.

And just as Liu Yifei tapped the screen, a notification popped up—

[Views exceeded one million in half an hour, the first PV for the star-studded masterpiece *Bleach* has been released!]

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment.

She had heard of this show; a few months ago, Xu Feng had wanted to invite her to act in it.

However, it was a pity that Liu Yifei's mother, Liu Xiaoli, was determined for her daughter to be a movie star.

She already looked down on TV dramas, so she didn't agree.

Secondly, there was another reason.

That was, Liu Xiaoli was worried that Xu Feng, a recognized playboy in the industry, would ruin her daughter...

Holding a curious mood, she clicked on the notification.

First to ring out was a blood-pumping electric guitar performance.

This was the first burning song of *Bleach*—

"Number One!"

Immediately after, Hu Ge, who played Ichigo Kurosaki, Zhao Jinmai, who played Rukia, and others appeared one by one.

The video cut to a scene of Ichigo Kurosaki holding a Zanpakuto and slaughtering a Hollow.

The blood-pumping background music and the hearty fighting scenes.

Almost made Liu Yifei unable to help but start rocking along.

"This is pretty impressive..."

Liu Yifei sighed softly.

But then she discovered another problem—

Isn't the lead actor Xu Feng?

The first promotional video for *Bleach* naturally caused a huge stir online.

And at the end of the video, Xu Feng also gave the release date—

The summer vacation slot two months later.

After all, the target audience for this show was teenagers.

Xu Feng didn't waste his already scarce funds on promotion.

Or rather, the Weibo accounts of these stars were the most convenient and cost-effective promotional tools—

Yang Mi V: "Hello everyone, I am Yang Mi. I will be playing the second female lead, Orihime Inoue, in *Bleach*. Please support me then~"

Hu Ge V: "This is the coolest character I've ever played. I will definitely not let everyone down."

Jiao Enjun V: "This is an epoch-making masterpiece. I am once again conquered by Xiao Feng's talent."

The big-name leads posted on Weibo one after another to show their support, attaching photos from the set.

Whether it was Hu Ge as Ichigo Kurosaki carrying a big sword, the petite Rukia played by the newcomer born after 2000, Zhao Jinmai, or the noble-looking Byakuya Kuchiki played by Jiao Enjun.

All of them earned enough of the audience's curiosity.

And the refined Aizen played by Xu Feng, the Yamamoto Genryusai played by veteran Li Xuejian, and Yoruichi Shihouin played by Gao Yuanyuan also exuded amazing charm.

All of this pushed the netizens' expectations to the maximum:

[Just looking at the trailer and the cast, I'm already so excited! Too handsome!]

[To be honest, with so many handsome men and beautiful women dressed so coolly, even if they just stood there posing, I would still watch it!]

[I'm still a bit worried, after all, this is Xu Feng's first time self-directing and starring.]

[The fighting scenes in the trailer are super cool! Especially when Hu Ge shouted 'Getsuga Tensho'.]

With the arrival of the summer vacation slot.

The first thing countless students did after returning home was to open their computers, enter their bookmarked website, and find the streaming site for *Bleach*—

Kiwi.

The story begins with the encounter between Ichigo Kurosaki, a college student who seems like a delinquent but is actually righteous at heart, and the Soul Reaper girl Rukia Kuchiki.

That's right, considering the national conditions of the Dragon Kingdom, Xu Feng also made some small modifications to the plot.

Although the romance elements in *Bleach* were so minimal they could be ignored, in order to pass censorship, Xu Feng changed the protagonist's age to a college student.

"You... can see me?"

Rukia looked at Ichigo Kurosaki in amazement.

The story... begins here.

The story unfolded in an orderly manner.

Rukia, due to an accident, transferred her Soul Reaper powers to Ichigo Kurosaki.

And Ichigo Kurosaki also took on the responsibility of being a Soul Reaper, sending those lost souls to the Soul Society.

As the plot progressed, the audience also gradually understood the world-building of this world.

Humans, Soul Reapers, Quincy, Hollows...

Countless viewers and even industry insiders had to marvel at Xu Feng's imagination.

To be able to write such a story.

And in the third episode, the style changed abruptly!

Byakuya Kuchiki, Rukia's brother played by Jiao Enjun, arrived with his lieutenant Renji Abarai.

Declaring that transferring Soul Reaper powers to a human is a grave crime!

And that they were taking Rukia back to the Soul Society for execution!

Ichigo Kurosaki naturally wouldn't agree to this, erupting with amazing perseverance to narrowly defeat the lieutenant, Renji Abarai.

However, the next second...

Everyone saw Byakuya Kuchiki walk past Ichigo Kurosaki in a daze.

Then... *Puchi!*

Blood splattered.

The wound on Ichigo Kurosaki's shoulder gushed like a fountain, and with a "bang," he fell to the ground like a broken puppet with lifeless eyes.

"Too, too powerful..."

Renji Abarai, who had fallen to his knees, widened his eyes and thought to himself:

"I could only barely see his second strike. The moment he drew his sword, and the action of sheathing it, I couldn't see at all. Is this the strength of Captain Kuchiki?!"

And it wasn't just Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji Abarai in the show who were shocked.

The audience in front of the screen also widened their eyes in astonishment.

This, this is too strong, right?

Subsequently, under the absolute strength of Byakuya Kuchiki, Rukia was taken away to the Soul Society.

And Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't sit idly by while Rukia was sent to the Soul Society for execution.

With the assistance of Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin, he teamed up with Orihime Inoue and Uryu Ishida to head to the Soul Society for a rescue.

And here, the full picture of the Soul Society, the Seireitei, and the existence of the Gotei 13.
