Some people listened to "Blue and White Porcelain" and couldn't sleep all night.

But Lin Yuan slept until dawn, sweetly and deeply.

Get up.

Wash up.

Brush teeth.

Lin Yuan went downstairs for breakfast and heard the song playing downstairs:

"The color white with blue, the koi fish seems to leap at the bottom of the bowl, while imitating the Song typeface's signature, yet you ponder about you, Hide in the kiln's secrets of a thousand years, so exquisite like a needle dropping on the floor from an embroidery..."

Mom said, "Blue and White Porcelain is so nice to listen to."

Sister looked at Lin Yuan, "I'll reward you with an extra egg."

Sister thought for a moment, "The yolk is yours."

Antarctica drooled with envy.

And when the driver came to pick up Lin Yuan, the same song was playing in the car:

"In the splash-ink landscape painting, you are hidden in the depths of the dark ink..."

Even upon arriving at the company.

Passing by some departments, Lin Yuan could still hear the song.

Overnight.

This song "Blue and White Porcelain" became popular throughout Jiangnan and beyond!

And when Lin Yuan went online, his eyes were met with numerous discussions about "Blue and White Porcelain"!

Among them.

Ni Hongwu, a lyricist who wrote songs for Fei Yang in the battle of the gods the year before last but encountered "May You Live Long," published a long review on Starlight Network about this song:

"Nothing is more beautiful than 'Blue and White Porcelain.'"

This is the title Ni Hongwu used for her long review:

"In terms of artistic conception, 'Blue and White Porcelain' is like a misty Jiangnan ink wash painting, where the fluttering movement of the water and clouds just barely reveals the figure of a lady in white, with her skirts and ribbons flying; in terms of lyrics, 'Blue and White Porcelain' is like a plain-hearted letter written by the window, its twists and turns only due to the heart being a double-silk-net, with thousands of knots; as for the melody, 'Blue and White Porcelain' is like a mountain spring whispering on stones in a gentle breeze, cool and clear yet meandering with an endless intention.

When these three elements combine, 'Blue and White Porcelain' is true to its name.

Just like the 'self-absorbed beauty' of fine celadon, stripped of all pretension, simple and elegant, refreshing and smooth, with the guzheng strings plucked crisply and the pipa bubbling...

When researching, I came across a legend.

The legend says that to achieve the sky-blue glaze color, the right humidity and kiln temperature must be met, so one must wait for a smoky rainy day for a chance of successful firing. The refrain of the lyrics seems to draw from this legend, and it's truly beautiful, so beautiful that I no longer need to question the authenticity of the legend.

And yet, the most exquisite part of the song does not stop there.

The following verse about the initial encounter is nothing short of astonishing; so much so that this morning, countless lyricist colleagues have been analyzing it, with an old friend even joking that this verse could be used as a reading comprehension question in a Chinese language college entrance exam.

Blue Star's number one lyricist is none other than Xian Yu.

And if the lyricist happens to also be the composer, with such a perfect integration of both, it's no wonder that Wonder Lu admitted defeat. For Wonder Lu, he might not fear any opponent when it comes to composing, but if the opponent possesses such terrifying lyrical talent, then it's a different story."

Just as Ni Hongwu said.

Many lyricists online were analyzing the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain" word by word, sentence by sentence.

Netizens were stunned.

Especially when Ni Hongwu mentioned the story behind "waiting for the smoke and rain."

The beautiful legend deepened the connotation and the richness of the lyrics, sparking countless emotions.

Beyond "Blue and White Porcelain".

There were also many discussions about "Water Rhyme".

The same neo-classical style, the same divine level of composition, from public reaction, "Water Rhyme" didn't tarnish the name of Wonder Lu.

When Lu Sheng admitted defeat, he joked:

If you listen to Xian Yu's new song first, followed by my "Water Rhyme," listeners will be disappointed.

But that is not the case.

Even professional music critiques ranked the songs of Xian Yu and Lu Sheng at the same level.

Including on the seasonal chart for November.

Xian Yu did not pull far ahead of Lu Sheng.

For a simple reason, because the composition of "Water Rhyme" is also perfect.

It is not inferior to "Blue and White Porcelain".

Just like Lin Yuan said.

As Blue Star's top Maestro, Lu Sheng only lost because of Fang Wenshan.

In terms of composition alone, the two songs are actually on par with each other.

For both insiders and outsiders of the industry, the November season chart contest was indeed a battle of immortals, it was just that after showing off their powers, Xian Yu performed a "flying immortal outside the sky."

Lu Sheng's "Water Rhyme" is that "heaven" that mortals look up to.

Lin Yuan, too, downloaded "Water Rhyme" with excitement and listened to it more than once, feeling deeply impressed.

And in this pinnacle showdown.

The biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly the performer of "Blue and White Porcelain"—

Sun Yaohuo!

It's kinda strange.

In the numerous discussions about "Blue and White Porcelain" Sun Yaohuo initially didn't draw much attention.

Alright.

It's not strange.

All the news of the November season's charts revolved around Xian Yu and Lu Sheng. Naturally, everyone's focus was on Xian Yu and Lu Sheng, not Sun Yaohuo himself. This included who sang Lu Sheng's song, which also failed to spark widespread discussion at first, because at times like these, it's usually the Maestro who is the soul of the song.

So.

It was only when everyone snapped back to their senses that Sun Yaohuo, the singer of "Blue and White Porcelain," burst into everyone's field of vision with a slightly abrupt flair!

Hot damn!

How could we forget about Sun Yaohuo!

This song, it's actually sung by Sun Yaohuo!

This exclamation might seem a bit exaggerated. After all, everyone obviously knew that "Blue and White Porcelain" was performed by Sun Yaohuo.

None of us grew eyes and ears for nothing.

What actually surprised netizens was:

Sun Yaohuo could sing "Blue and White Porcelain" so well!

Perhaps a certain netizen's comment hit the nail on the head:

"The halo of Xian Yu is just too dazzling, almost overshadowing Sun Yaohuo the singer, until I listened to the song on loop numerous times and suddenly realized, Sun Yaohuo as the singer performed too well!"

This remark garnered countless agreements.

"Honestly, he sang incredibly well, almost completely overturning my impression of Sun Yaohuo!"

"I feel like Sun Yaohuo's vocal skills have improved so drastically, did I not pay enough attention to him before? He shouldn't have been able to handle this song with his previous skills, right?"

"He could handle it, but he got the flavor so right, Sun Yaohuo really made a huge breakout!"

"Fan for life, this is the first time I fell for Sun Yaohuo's singing!"

"Fish Papa really favors Sun Yaohuo, to give such an awesome song to someone else to sing."

"Actually, whether Fish Papa sings his songs himself is meaningless since he's not aiming to be a singer. Besides, his own halo is too dazzling. Whether he sings it himself or not, his songs will always be his songs, it doesn't make much difference."

"Exactly."

"I also think that Fish Papa's songs are as if he's singing them all himself, singers from the Yu Dynasty are just like his voice and mouth. Considering singing involves nasal sounds, we might as well add a nose to the list."

"Lungs are also involved."

"Chest cavity too."

"Well then, singers from the Yu Dynasty turned out to be Fish Papa's various organs, the tool people of the Yu Dynasty confirmed."

Netizens had a good laugh.

Despite being a jest and joker, it is in some sense, a fact.

Every single song by Xian Yu is stamped with his signature.

People may forget who the singer of those songs is, but they don't forget the songwriter. Blue Star is ultimately the world of composers.

And within the Yu Dynasty.

No matter who sings the songs of Xian Yu, it always feels like Xian Yu himself is singing.

Others are merely different vocal tones chosen by Xian Yu to express his voice.

Of course.

The inherent value of the singer himself is still irreplaceable.

Especially now in the Yu Dynasty, any one of them stepping out could stand on their own.

And just as outside discussions began to center around Sun Yaohuo.

Someone discovered an unbelievable fact!

Sun Yaohuo's comprehensive data in all aspects seemed to have reached the standard of the King of Singing?

Upon learning this.

Countless netizens were dumbfounded for a few seconds:

"Holy crap!"

"Sun Yaohuo has become the King of Singing?"

"Speaking of which, when others are crowned king or queen, it's usually discussed extensively beforehand. Like with Jiang Kui's time, I remember before "Diao" was even released the whole world was discussing whether she would clinch the title of Queen of Singing with it. How come when it gets to Sun Yaohuo ascending to King of Singing it's so sudden, with none of the grandeur you would expect of someone about to become the King of Singing!"

"Hahaha, I died laughing, but not entirely."

"Because we barely take any notice of Sun Yaohuo, this guy's truly a dark horse, quietly making a huge fortune. Normally unassuming, and by the time we regain our senses, he's already the King of Singing!"

"The Yu Dynasty really has great fortune behind it!"

"Who would've thought that Fish Papa would actually boost Sun Yaohuo to the King of Singing position, and with Jiang Kui before, the Yu Dynasty now has two—hey!?"

Suddenly, the air was silent!

As quiet as if all the birds had ceased to chirp!

So quiet you could hear a pin drop!

The next moment, everyone's eyes bulged as they leaped up, screaming!
