This is a book that turns the poetry world of the Tang and Song dynasties into a lively circle of friends. Here, Li Bai is the fanboy of star-chaser Meng Haoran, Du Fu is the representative of "humble literature" who has an unrequited love for Li Bai, and Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi stage the life-and-death sadomasochism of the Tang Dynasty's number one CP. You can see the poets praising, blocking, singing, and breaking up with each other, you can see how the eternal famous lines are born at the wine table, and you can see the tearful affection behind the poems.
