I Have a Painting That Opens a Door to Great Song

Shen Xin, a part-time travel and food vlogger on Bilibili, got hold of a scroll. With it, he could travel back and forth to the Song Dynasty... From then on, The videos in his Along the River During the Qingming Festival series took the internet by storm. Countless experts reviewed them, hailing them as the most meticulously researched works of their kind. His A Taste of the Song Dynasty series was recognized by UNESCO as part of China's culinary heritage, prompting the Koreans to loudly protest. “That's a Korean invention! This is plagiarism, it has to be plagiarism...” His other videos included Fun in the Song Dynasty, The Zhe Family Army: A Documentary, Li Shishi's Past Lives, Was the Iron Pagoda Real?, The Artistic Accomplishments of Song Emperors, Roll On, Little Western Xia Babies, and A Day in the Boudoir of a Song Princess... They set all of China ablaze... One viewer used his videos as the basis for a doctoral thesis, which was selected for the Chinese Classics Library... Even the experts felt humbled by his work. Just as the whole internet was abuzz... At a manor in Bianjing, the Song capital, Shen Xin scrolled through the comments, entirely at ease. “Fame and acclaim are all just passing clouds!” Surrounded by beautiful women, with one massaging his head and another his feet, the famed courtesan Li Shishi held out a grape to feed him... Li Shishi blushed. “My lord...” Damn this feudal society. Bury it already. “My lord, people outside are saying the Jin army is about to invade south!” “What? If anyone's going to bury this life, it'll be me! What have those Jin dogs got to do with it?” Shen Xin was furious. This decadent life... He hadn't had enough of it yet!
