Around the same time, in Chu land.

Inside her own office, Ni Hongwu was listening to the new song composed by Maestro Long Die in The Battle of the Gods, with headphones on, feeling somewhat regretful for the imperfect lyrics as she listened.

After listening to Long Die’s song, Ni Hongwu looked at her phone, and immediately saw the question marks sent by Yin Dong and the thirteen question marks sent by Fei Yang in the small group chat.

Such an amount of question marks also involuntarily put a lot of question marks in Ni Hongwu’s mind.

What do you two mean?

Ni Hongwu was somewhat puzzled. Coincidentally, as Ni Hongwu looked at this group chat, suddenly came a song from the headphones:

“How long will the full moon appear, I raise my wine and ask the blue sky, no one knows, in the celestial palace, what year it is tonight…”

This was a coincidence triggered by the shuffle play.

As it turned out, Ni Hongwu, like Fei Yang, didn’t know who’s song to listen to first, so she chose to shuffle all the songs from The Battle of the Gods. Now it’s just shuffled to Xian Yu’s new song, “Hope for Eternity”.

Only a few lines were sung.

But Ni Hongwu’s gaze suddenly focused on the computer on the desk.

The screen was still on the player’s lyrics interface. The distilled lyrics of “Hope for Eternity” suddenly appeared in front of Ni Hongwu. So, this moment became a memorable one for Ni Hongwu.

Crack!

Even though the moonlight outside the window was still quietly flowing, and there was neither wind nor rain between heaven and earth, Ni Hongwu felt as if a thunderbolt had appeared above her head in the clear sky, instantly blowing her brain into chaos.

“Whoosh!”

Ni Hongwu almost tried to retrieve her chat saying “I could destroy the Gods with my lyrics” at the fastest speed in her life, but time had already passed by nearly five minutes—

Failed to retrieve it.

Looking back at the question marks from Fei Yang and Yin Dong, Ni Hongwu suddenly had a sense of social death.

Even though everyone couldn’t see each other’s faces across the network, Ni Hongwu was already feeling incredibly uneasy, as if a thousand fingers were pointing behind her.

Like a fishbone stuck in the throat.

Like sitting on a bed of needles.

Ni Hongwu’s thoughts cleared within the chaos.

Her first clear thought was surprisingly, would that message have been safely retrieved if she had listened to “Hope for Eternity” first?

Could she pretend to be all tranquil, as if she had never said such words?

Unfortunately, it’s too late.

And even if that message was really withdrawn, her previous evaluation of Xian Yu’s songwriting ability in the interview with Literature and Art Gazette was also similar in terms of description and expression.

Ni Hongwu totally gave up her struggle.

She simply listened to the song several times over.

With these repeats, it seemed that she had a new insight each time.

Every time the song sang “People have their joys and sorrows, and the moon has its periods of waxing and waning,” she could clearly feel her heart beating faster.

And when the song sang “Hope for Eternity, a thousand miles share the beauty,” she could always feel a resonance coming from the depth of her heart.

After countless replays, Ni Hongwu finally removed her headphones.

The lyrics she finally focused on were not the ones just mentioned, but a five-character phrase interspersed therein:

“Lonely at the top!”

These five characters represented all of Ni Hongwu’s feelings, it encapsulated all her shock from this song!

Lonely at the top…

Taking a deep breath, Ni Hongwu looked at the songwriter’s column and expectedly saw the name “Xian Yu”.

Xian Yu…

She couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

What is the furthest distance in the world?

Is it me standing on the 18th floor, proud of myself, while you are looking at everyone from the stratosphere?

It’s not a matter of inferior skills.

There is simply no comparison.

We’re not even on the same plane!

Leaving aside the embarrassment and humiliation of getting bitchslapped, what Ni Hongwu is most certain of now is that she could never in her life write lyrics like this—

So she surrenders!

She sincerely concedes defeat!

No, this is no longer a song lyric; it has reached the realm of ancient poetry!

Her command of literary language is renowned in the lyrics-writing world, and having been well-versed in poetry and literature since childhood, she would never consider “How Long Will the Full Moon Last” to be some low-quality, melodramatic ancient-style song—

That would be a blasphemy against these lyrics!

Blue Star has many niche ancient-style music pieces. Although Ni Hongwu admits there is indeed a great portion of these ancient-style songs that are excellent, the vast majority of them, in her view, are pieces of garbage penned haphazardly just for the sake of rhyming, often rendering the lyrics meaningless.

What about lyrics like, “Her eyebrows, as beautiful as a painting”?

What about terms such as “elegance”, “youth”, and “time of one’s life”?

What about words like “cinnabar”, “hoarse”, and “fight to the death”?

What about expressions like “Tears fell like rain, then, white hair abound”?

Do they believe using several words they think are romantic, enhancing them with some rhymes, could make them ancient-style songs?

If the purpose is not to consider connotations and art, she could also casually think of dozens of simple rhyming words ending in ‘a’ and piece them together into rhyming sentences while she’s taking a dump.

But what would be the point?

She has nothing but pure disdain for these types of lyrics.

Ancient-style music should be one of the most complex forms, but in the hands of some self-professed ancient-style musicians, it’s been proliferated to the point of being a disaster. It’s as if they are all cut from the same template, with even the accompanying musical instruments remaining the same.

Those lyrics are not even worthy of shining the shoes of “How Long Will the Full Moon Last”.

Thinking about this, Ni Hongwu’s eyes again fiercely focused on the lyrics of the song:

“It must be written according to the format of a certain classical verse, and moreover, it’s a poem about mid-autumn moon appreciation. I’ll have to study the specifics later. But the most amazing part is the lower part of the verse; it’s completely on the level of the timeless classic lines …”

The more Ni Hongwu tasted it, the more startled she was!

The more she considered it, the more shocked and impressed she felt!

Only such verses can be called truly mesmerizing!

At this moment.

Another message appeared in the three-person chat group.

It was Yin Dong who sent the message, responding to Fei Yang’s thirteen question marks saying:

“On par with the melody.”

Fei Yang then replied: “On par with the performance.”

Ni Hongwu’s face instantly darkened!

Aren’t you two funny?

Is that my fault, huh?

It’s easy to nitpick when you’re not the one doing the work, isn’t it?

Forget about me, you pick anyone from the current lyric-writing world, or even the entire Blue Star, and have them challenge “How Long Will the Full Moon Last” on lyric writing!

If they dare not to kneel, I will take your surname!

Ni Hongwu initially wanted to reply with something along the lines of: it’s not that I can’t, it’s that the opponent is too unfathomable. But she suddenly realized that digression was meaningless. — What do these composers and singers know about poetry? So, she could only slowly type a question mark:

“?”

As this question mark appeared, the internet was going wild due to more and more people finishing their first listen of “How Long Will the Full Moon Last”—-.

Immortal Su has arrived!
