After transmigrating to the future and awakening an ability based on classical Chinese poetry, Zhuang Chunsui joins the Return Plan. She is about to head out as part of the vanguard, clearing the pollution along the way, opening a path, and making it back to their homeland.
The Old Window.
All night, spring rain whispers in the tower; tomorrow, apricot blossoms are sold in the deep lane.
The patter of rain sounds beyond the curtain. Outside the window, someone calls out, carrying a basket of apricot blossoms for sale. The cries and the fragrance of the flowers drift through the window. The panes, once crawling with blood-red veins, peel away piece by piece, and the pollution vanishes in an instant.
The audience who witnessed it all: ! Such powerful purifying abilities!!
The Haunted Beauty's Tomb.
Faced with a black figure covered in pollution, Zhuang Chunsui takes out the Rhapsody on the Goddess of the Luo River and restores the figure's beauty. When a crowd of slender, polluted shadows blocks the road, she calmly takes out Liu Yong's lyrics one by one and gives the young ladies their makeup.
Her teammates, too frightened to say a word: ? What an incredible way to dispel the pollution!!
Every now and then, someone with no sense comes knocking.
Zhuang Chunsui takes out Li He and the Letter to Wu Jizhong.
I see only the moon turn cold and the sun grow warm, as life is slowly consumed.
The world seems to become a furnace, with the pollutants inside it like pieces of meat being roasted.
Let Mount Tai be the meat, and pour out the Eastern Sea as wine.
It is as if an invisible giant hand uses mountains for meat and seas for wine. The occasional glance from that being leaves all the pollutants shaking with fear.
Pollutants: Wait, sis, which one of us is the evil god here??
With Zhuang Chunsui leading the way, everyone begins reciting Chinese poetry once more. All the pollution is purified, and at last, they return to their homeland.

The apocalypse has arrived. Human morality has crumbled, rites and order have fallen apart, and the ancient classics have all but vanished. Everyone believes that China's heritage has been lost and its cultural traditions severed.
But she shows everyone that as long as even one Chinese person remains alive, the land beneath her feet will keep Chinese civilization flourishing without end.
