Chen Gong suddenly died late at night when he was sorting out a database of ancient poetry. When he opened his eyes, he turned into an 18th-tier trainee in a parallel world.
This world is prosperous in science and technology, and entertainment is endless, but the field of "poetry" is a barren desert - China's thousand-year-old poetry treasure has never been born, and people's understanding of the beauty of words remains at the primary stage of "rhyming jingles." And he was about to be eliminated from the talent show just because he couldn't write a decent lyric.
When the instructor came up with the theme of "Moonlight" and everyone was scratching their heads, Chen Gong smiled slightly and chanted "The moonlight is bright in front of the bed, it is suspected to be frost on the ground"; when the whole Internet ridiculed "poetry is useless", he wrote "No one has died in life since ancient times, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history" and shocked the soul of the country; when foreign poets challenged "China has no poetry", he shut up the world with "The great river goes eastward, and the waves are washed away".
From a glimpse on the talent show stage to the "national poetry fairy" sought after by the whole people; from being on the verge of being eliminated by capital, to being a top figure in the literary world who uses a poem to stir up the cultural wave.
Chen Gong stood under the spotlight, looking at the world boiling with Chinese poetry, and smiled softly:
"I'm sorry, I'm just a poet who 'carried' a thousand-year civilization."
Since then, there has been an additional myth belonging to "Chen Gong" in the cultural galaxy of the parallel world.
