"The Romance by Order" is a novel based on Liu Yongping, focusing on his ups and downs of fate of "losing the top spot on the gold list" and his rebellious spirit of "bearing the chance to trade a name for a title". The work is inspired by Song Renzong's comment about "just go and write lyrics", revealing the fierce collision between the Northern Song Dynasty's imperial examination system, market culture, imperial discipline and literati style, and showing how a "white prime minister" used words as a sword to split a romantic world in the dispute between elegance and vulgarity.
