After contemplating for a moment, she gracefully wrote a few lines of words on the paper, from top to bottom, from right to left:

TL's Note: Yes, Ancient Chinese people wrote from right to left.

"What kind of evening is this, I'm riding a small boat across the river. What kind of day is this, I ride on the boat with my prince, traveling together. So thankful that the prince doesn't think me too poor, and doesn't berate or hate me because of my identity as a boatman. My mind is so messy, and I didn't know what to do, because I know he's a prince. There are trees in the mountains and there are branches on the trees, I like you but you don't know that."

TL's Note: this is just this really awesome poem that came from back in the Qin dynasties. For more information, search up "越人歌" 🙂

The entire comment section was filled with exclamations as she wrote the poem.

"!!!"

"The astonishment in my mind cannot be expressed by a simple '666' this time."

"Too bad we are unsophisticated; we can only admire her."

"Does anyone understand what she's writing? Can anyone translate it for me?"

"It's 'Yue Ren song' from Poetry of the South. This font is too hard to recognize, I only realized it's 'Yue Ren song' when she started writing the last two lines, which are the most classical lines in this piece."

Some fans immediately searched up the Yue Ren song's full context and pasted it in the comment section.

"Learned something new today."

"I've never even heard of it before!"

"I can't even read some of the words in Simplified Chinese. (Cries)"

"Have you guys realized? This gal memorized it all, her brush hadn't even paused for a moment."

"Her handwriting is very smooth. It's very rare nowadays for a girl to have such good calligraphy skills."

"She's definitely talented!"

Liu Man's number of followers ascended quickly during this live-stream, and her phone incessantly beeped. It was the sound the application made every time she acquired a new follower.

When she finally finished writing the entire poem, her fan count had grown to 467, and the number of people watching her live-stream had gone over 1000! There were way too many comments for her to respond to.

True. Live-streaming cats and selling AJs were common, and there was nothing unique about them. However, live-streaming calligraphy and writing Qin Seal... Liu Man was the first one to do this on this application.

Fans were all exclaiming that they'd never seen this before.

"Does anyone still remember we're fans of her cat?" — Peach is a fairy.

"Hahaha, I'm probably the only one still staring at the cat in the corner."

"You're not the only one. Cat observer +1."

"Cat observer +2."

"Cat observer +3."

...

Daylight, who was sleeping, didn't understand what her owner was doing. After finishing up her dinner, she had curled into a nice comfy position and slept in her cathouse over in the corner. She unconsciously became a cute background for the live-stream.

"After watching for such a long time, there's no need to say much. I'm going to shop for a pair of AJs to show support!" — I'm here for the shoes.
