Lin Yan is a calligraphy student from a poor family, renting a place in the city and working like a corporate pack mule. By chance, he gains the ability to write with runes.
When he goes to write a signboard, the construction foreman nitpicks. When he tries livestreaming, a master tells him to get lost! Even when he goes out for a bowl of tofu pudding, someone tries to scam him out of his money!
He only wants to write, but you force him to fight. He only wants to sell his calligraphy, but his opponent pressures him into gambling on jade. He only wants to teach, but reality tricks him into becoming an appraiser... Fine. Since you want to mess with me, I'll write a single character and set this world straight!
Whatever he writes takes shape, embodying the meaning of the character.
Writing “Swift” makes him blazing fast. Writing “Sturdy” gives him strength enough to lift a cauldron. Writing “Shield” makes him invulnerable...
Others submit their calligraphy to exhibitions, while he teaches his junior sister how to copy old masters. Others use calligraphy to make a name for themselves, while he uses it to build connections. Others keep working like pack mules, while he chooses to go driving with his female boss...
He can write characters into contracts and empower others, but the backlash hurts him... A golden rune brings to light a secret buried for millennia...
Good rhythm 👍
