All-rounder Artist-Chapter 816 773: What is love in this world that makes people pledge to live and die for each other?

"There's a fierce tiger in the heart, yet it gently sniffs the rose..."

In a certain room, a man was staring at his computer.

This man was Wu Dun, the president of a poetry club on Yan Continent.

He was also browsing critiques of the movie 'Life of Pi' when he suddenly came across this poem by Yi An, and for a moment, he was completely captivated.

With his expertise, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this poem!

In fact, even without any relation to 'Life of Pi', it was still an excellent exposition on human nature.

But when connected with 'Life of Pi', this poem became even more brilliant.

Yi An?

Wu Dun had been immersed in the poetry scene for many years, yet this was the first time he had heard this name.

He opened a chat group.

Wu Dun posted the poem there.

The group immediately buzzed with excitement.

"President Wu, this poem is quite impressive."

"Is this President Wu's new work? What a line, 'There's a fierce tiger in the heart, yet it gently sniffs the rose'!"

"This poem discusses the duality of human nature. President Wu, did you write it for 'Life of Pi'?"

"Aren't you guys online? The phrase 'There's a fierce tiger in the heart, yet it gently sniffs the rose' has already gone viral on social media."

"The content of the verse indeed relates to 'Life of Pi', but this poem was written by an author named Yi An, not President Wu."

"Yi An? Who's that?"

"I checked Wikipedia, Yi An is a fanfic writer. A while back, 'The Legend of Wukong' by this guy was quite popular, and his level is quite extraordinary, crushing other fanfic writers."

"With that level of skill, why write fanfic?"

"These days, there are more and more prodigies who can write poetry. That novelist Chu Kuang can write poetry, the songwriter Xian Yu can write poetry, and now even fanfic writers can write poetry?"

"It's still different, the first two write classical poetry."

"Even among the first two, there are differences. Xian Yu's poetry skills should be a bit higher."

"..."

Wu Dun didn't say a word but refreshed Yi An's blog to see if this person had any other works.

Unfortunately.

Since its creation, Yi An's blog account had only posted this one update, and before this poem, his only work was 'The Legend of Wukong'.

"Beginner's luck?"

Sometimes people do get a burst of inspiration and can write a meaningful poem, but Wu Dun was somewhat disappointed; he was quite interested in this suddenly emerging figure.

Just then.

Wu Dun suddenly saw a highly liked comment in the comment section:

"I can see you have a deep understanding of both Xian Yu and Chu Kuang's works. How do you think about Chu Kuang's adaptation of 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange'?"

Wu Dun laughed.

Since his daughter liked that series, he had watched Chu Kuang's adaptation of 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange' with her.

"These people are too mischievous."

Wu Dun could understand why the comment got highly liked.

It was nothing more than wanting to see if Yi An would openly criticize it, as the adaptation of the series had been outrageously transformed, perfectly embodying the old rascal Chu Kuang's penchant for arbitrary changes.

He shook his head.

Wu Dun didn't continue reading the comments but just followed Yi An and left.

He didn't think Yi An would respond to such a spoof comment. How else could one comment on Chu Kuang's adaptation of 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange'?

Just criticize and be done with it.

It's not like one needs to write a poem specifically to criticize that series, right?

...

Lin Yuan was also pleased with Yi An's rising popularity.

The more influential this alias became, the greater the benefits to his other three aliases in the future. Thus, he was quite interested in browsing through the comments.

Then.

Lin Yuan also saw that highly liked hot comment: How do you rate Chu Kuang's adaptation of 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange'?

Chu Kuang?

This unexpected link made Lin Yuan feel suddenly guilty, as if he was on the brink of being exposed.

The next moment.

Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something!

It seemed...

It wasn't impossible to comment, right?

This Yi An alias was definitely worth developing.

If there was a chance, he definitely wanted to give Yi An more exposure; otherwise, Lin Yuan wouldn't have thought to use Yi An's account to ride the 'Life of Pi' hype, even crafting the classic line "There's a fierce tiger in the heart, yet it gently sniffs the rose."

By all accounts, this wave of popularity was well caught.

After successfully gaining followers, Lin Yuan planned to let Yi An go back under the radar.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

However.

Now Lin Yuan suddenly wanted to strike while the iron was hot and ride another wave of popularity; he had just the right idea.

It was Chu Kuang's popularity, after all, so why not milk it!

As for how to rate?

No need to rate, just expressing his own understanding would suffice.

In fact.

While adapting the screenplay for 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange,' a phrase had persistently lingered in Lin Yuan's mind.

"The sentimental always tormented by the heartless..."

He couldn't remember the specific details, but this phrase somewhat suited Jiang Yuyan.

"System!"

Lin Yuan summoned the System.

He wanted to customize this poem.

Soon, the poem was successfully customized, and Lin Yuan's mind clearly recalled everything about this lyrics.

It was Su Shi's lyric.

It's no wonder Su Dongpo, also revered as Su Immortal, was known for his talent. Aside from 'Song of Water,' he had countless other legendary works.

There was too much content for Lin Yuan to fully exploit at once!

For instance, the lyric mentioning "The sentimental always tormented by the heartless" from 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower'!

Though the lyric seemed to be about love, it was actually a reflection of Su Immortal's dissatisfaction with certain life situations, but the literal meaning of the poetry already matched some of the scenarios in 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange.'

As for deeper meanings...

It was best if someone could discover them; if not, it could simply be appreciated as a beautiful love poem, or he could reveal a bit more to the outside world if necessary.

With this thought.

Lin Yuan opened Starry Sky Network, found the series 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange,' and personally wrote down a review!

Of course.

Though it's called a drama review, it's actually about Su Shi's "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower."

One minute later.

Lin Yuan finished the verses and was ready to click publish.

Before publishing, Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and decided to give the drama review an even more interesting name.

"What in this world can make us pledge to live or die for another?"

This too is a line from a verse, but Lin Yuan used only its most famous sentence.

He had checked the full content of the verses through the system.

Overall, the verse didn't match the plot of "Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange," so there was no need to tailor it specifically, let alone the fact that the verse mentioned Emperor Wu of Han, who didn't even exist in this world.

In short.

Using just this sentence was enough; the focus was still on the following verse by Su Immortal.

Without further hesitation.

Lin Yuan officially clicked publish.

...

Wu Dun prepared himself a cup of tea and was about to take a sip when the system suddenly alerted:

"Yi An has updated a post."

He had just followed Yi An, so he received the notification.

Curious about this Yi An, Wu Dun clicked on it right away.

Whoosh.

The page unexpectedly redirected to the drama review section of "Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange" on the Star Network.

"This is…"

Wu Dun paused, then immediately thought of a high-liked comment in Yi An's review section just now.

Hey!

Did this Yi An really come to interpret "Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange"?

Interesting!

A look of interest emerged in Wu Dun's eyes as he glanced at Yi An's drama review, and the first thing that hit his eyes was the title:

"What in this world can make us pledge to live or die for another?"

His eyes froze for a moment.

Wu Dun's expression turned serious.

This sentence…

Is it written about Jiang Yuyan?

Wu Dun had watched Chu Kuang's adapted series and certainly knew the story between Jiang Yuyan and Qin Tiange.

What is love?

Life and death pledge!

Isn't this sentence the true portrayal of the tragic end between Jiang Yuyan and Qin Tiange?

Of course.

Qin Tiange's pledge of death was to die with Jiang Yuyan;

But Jiang Yuyan, out of love and reluctance, pushed Qin Tiange away from the flames before her death.

Wu Dun's expression grew even more grave.

Ignoring his tea, he moved the mouse and quickly clicked on the title.

In an instant.

A verse leapt into his sight:

"The flowers fade and the apricots grow small.

As the swallows fly, the green water encircles the people's homes.

The willow cotton on the branches is less blown away, where is there no fragrant grass across the world!

Swings inside the wall, the road outside the wall.

Passers-by outside the wall, laughing beauty inside the wall.

The laughter fades and the silence deepens, affection is troubled by the heartless!

——"A Butterfly's Love for a Flower"

Silence.

The room fell silent for three seconds.

After three seconds, Wu Yong subconsciously copied the content of the verse and sent it to his poetry club's large group chat.

After copying.

Staring at the verse, Wu Yong's eyes flickered.

Indeed.

There was no such thing as luck, this Yi An truly had talent.

He could not only write modern poems, but he also could compose verses, and this verse was quite extraordinary...

Meanwhile.

Netizens also noticed this update.

"Pfft!"

"This person is really something, actually wrote a review about 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange'?"

"That line in the title is so classic!"

"What in this world can make us pledge to live or die for another?"

"Is it written about Jiang Yuyan?"

"I love this line, it's so touching!"

"Yi An's cultural depth is really high, even his title is so classic, enough said, I'm using this line!"

"Great, this title has successfully piqued my interest!"

"I thought Yi An would trash-talk, but he actually did an interpretation, the title alone feels like this review is going to be special!"

"Let's see!"

"..."

As countless people clicked, the verse also appeared in front of countless netizens.

And as they scanned this "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower," countless netizens held their breath unconsciously!

Let's be honest.

With a tiger's heart and sniffing roses, understanding can be challenging, but combine it with the movie and it becomes clear.

And this "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower," even without the TV series plot, could easily be understood, not to mention everyone still has the TV series plot for reference!

In an instant!

The internet became lively!

Wu Dun's poetry club's big group chat also suddenly exploded with countless lurkers!

After "Song of Water," Su Immortal has descended on Blue Star again!
