I traveled through time and became Li Bai's scholar A Zhu, and relied on the poetry and Tai Chi skills he learned in college to help him become a swordsman and immortal. When he was a child, I taught him poetry to help him beat the sullen Confucian in the face, taught him swordsmanship integrated with Tai Chi, and witnessed him picking catkins with his sword and surprising old farmers with his poems.
When I was young, I followed him to say goodbye to his wife with a sword. When he wrote poems that caused controversy, I produced the evidence that I had already written. When encountering bandits, he used his sword skills to defeat the enemies. I used my immortality skills to assist him. His poems and my skills complemented each other.
When he was in Chang'an in his middle age, he was drunk in the Golden Palace and asked Gao Lishi to take off his boots. I protected him. During the Anshi Rebellion, I used Tai Chi to protect him from danger. In his later years, he quarried on the rocks to catch the moon as it soared. I compiled his poems and was later awarded the title of Immortal Official of Qingya.

Our stories are hidden in poem manuscripts and jade seals. His poems are more sharp because of me, and my practice is complete because of my protection. Together, we have created a legend of poetry and swordsmanship.
