The Sickly Beauty Slays with Chinese Poetry

In the post-disaster era, Chinese civilization has been lost and nearly severed from the world. When Xie Tinghen transmigrates here, he starts a livestream, and the viewers laugh: A sickly weakling calls himself a swordsman? Retro cosplay? [Is this beauty streamer trying to mooch off the adventure channel for views?] [That little face is so pale. Let's crowdfund an oxygen tank!] Then, aboard an escape boat, the frail beauty, lips pale and long hair spilling like raven feathers, coughs up blood and writes a line of poetry: “How I long for a sword that leans against the sky, to cross the sea and slay the giant whale.” The livestream viewers tease him: [Writing a couplet in your suicide note?] The next second, the Sky-Leaning Sword from Li Bai's poem appears out of thin air. The frail beauty hefts the sword, his wrist so thin it makes their hearts ache. He gives it a light swing The huge ship pursuing them is sliced neatly in half. [...???] [...I take back my laughter. Is it too late to kneel now?!] [Wait, where did that weapon come from???] Later, the whole world learns the truth: He really is a swordsman, and one who recites poetry, too. A colonial corporation tries to make trouble on its way out? He recites, “Swordlight shines through the sky, its vault a vivid blue!” Bizarre monsters wreak havoc across the land? He recites, “A single sword chills fourteen provinces with frost!” ...One sword once stood against a million soldiers... Thirty-six peaks still bear their long swords... Flying swords cut through the clouds, and the feudal lords all came west... The mastermind breaks down: “Just how many ancient poems does China have?!” Xie Tinghen smiles, coughs twice, and raises his sword. “Oh dear, I don't know either.” [Xie Tinghen is reciting poetry again! Run, you guys, hahaha!] [In the age of technology, the boss leads us to fight our way through using Tang and Song poetry? Is that even reasonable?] [China's cultural foundations are incredible. We know nothing about the power they hold.] In the cyber age, the whole world is busy upgrading pulse cannons with enchantments and stacking supernatural abilities. Xie Tinghen is busy studying the Three Hundred Tang Poems and Five Thousand Years of Chinese History. And his tall, stern lover stays by his side the whole time. When Xie Tinghen runs out of mental energy and collapses limply, his lover catches him and lays him back in bed. “Clap, clap, clap.” The man stands at the head of the bed, expressionless, as a mechanical seal claps. Xie Tinghen lies back with practiced ease, feebly pressing a hand to his chest. “I'm really not doing it again next time!” Next time, I promise I'll run faster than anyone! #The sickly swordsman goes wild reciting poetry in the cyber age, and the ancestors line up to bring him swords!# [Completed. Welcome to my author page to read] I Quit Showbiz for Ski Jumping [Next book, available to preorder] Interstellar Variety Show Producer Xiang Han transmigrates to the interstellar age. He discovers that his country's entertainment industry is weak, which is no surprise: everything was abandoned during the great migration of civilization. Then he checks his personal account and finds its balance is in the red. Xiang Han lowers his eyes in thought and decides to start with variety shows, the perfect combination of all the modern entertainment industry's biggest highlights, laughs, and thrills! 1. With no startup funds, he recruits random passersby to make a dating show. Interstellar viewers: Why do you need a variety show to find a partner? After it airs, viewers: The fourth female contestant is obviously just trying to rack up points. She's definitely here to scam rich guys! The third female contestant, that little mermaid, is so naive. I cried watching her. Don't stop me, I want to fight for real! 2. Big platforms copy his dating show and poach his contestants with huge offers. Xiang Han doesn't bat an eye and creates Star 101. Before it airs, interstellar viewers: What kind of washed-up nobodies are these? Who would watch over a hundred amateurs with no fame at all? After it airs, interstellar viewers: “Oh my god, I can't live after today's bottom ten get eliminated! Aaaah, how could this happen? Xiang Han, you rigged the votes!”, “Get out of here. Yesterday, the second princess of Country T publicly declared her support for my favorite contestant to take center position! Director Xiang is a god forever!” 3. Experts criticize his new show for having no cultural value. Xiang Han thinks it over, then unveils a program proposal the next day, titled Tracing Our Roots: China's Treasures. Expert So-and-so: Director Xiang, join us and help set the record straight about the civilizations of the world! Official from Country So-and-so: We cordially invite Director Xiang to join our search for ancient Earth. Interstellar netizens: Don't listen to them.
