You Told Me to Slacken Off, So How Did I Become the Greatest Poet of All Time?

Zhou Fan transmigrates to a parallel world.

To cater to the public's entertainment tastes, the Dragon Kingdom puts on a grand array of sports and arts competitions.

The poetry contest, the least popular of them all, invites contestants to write freely on the theme of "The Bright Moon."

Zhou Fan is a random passerby the organizers picked up to fill a spot. Their goal is to pave the way for a rising star, with Zhou Fan playing the supporting role.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Fan conquers the crowd from the start with a single poem, "Prelude to Water Melody."

As reports on the show's ratings roll in, Zhou Fan's beautiful, evocative lines emerge one after another, setting off a poetry craze across Huaxia. Countless people flock to study the art, and the fervor puts the nationwide craze for games and films of the past to shame...

A director says, "Get Zhou Fan to write promotional copy for our film, whatever it takes."

A superstar sighs, "If Zhou Fan would write lyrics and compose a tune for me, I could die happy..."

At the awards ceremony: "Please welcome the greatest poet in history to the stage to give a speech!"

Zhou Fan takes the trophy and raises his arm. "Reviving the glory of poetry is a duty we cannot shirk!"
