I dare say not a handful of people in all of China can write regular script this well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t the ci the same? This ‘Ding Feng Bo’ is just incredible—it feels utterly majestic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want majesty, you should look at Luo Quan’s earlier poem, ‘Inscription on Chrysanthemums.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Bao used to write poems too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you think? Her talent was already exposed long ago—you just never paid attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can any longtime fans type out that poem? I want to see it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“West wind whistles, chrysanthemums fill the yard; cold fragrance, chilly petals—butterflies won’t come. When I become the Green Emperor in another life, I’ll command the peach blossoms to bloom with them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy crap, this poem is insane!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All I can say is ‘awesome’—I don’t even know what else to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For new fans just getting into Luo Quan, her hidden treasures are endless—every corner holds a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One new ci pulled out an old poem she’d written years ago—and the quality was impressive, truly unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan remained remarkably calm, whether to match her persona or simply from habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Talent is like pregnancy—it reveals itself naturally over time, so don’t get too excited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, I can’t compare myself to great poets and ci masters—please stay rational.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan saw fans comparing her to Li Bai and Su Shi in the comments and quickly spoke up to urge everyone to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this “Ding Feng Bo” was originally written by Su Shi from another world, it doesn’t exist here, so she used it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But using it doesn’t mean she can claim it as her own—she must stay humble. She can’t accept comparisons to Li Bai or Su Shi, not even when fans say it. She has no right to stand beside such divine figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as long as she doesn’t compare herself to those godlike figures, this creation is still highly commendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Zhihu had a related question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you evaluate Luo Quan’s live-streamed ‘Ding Feng Bo’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top-voted answer was:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Quan’s talent is overwhelmingly heavy—especially when she’s wearing that cosplay of Matsumoto Ranzu, the effect is simply outstanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the ci itself, honestly, it’s exceptional—worthy of inclusion in textbooks. It sounds like a person who’s endured life’s trials, seen through its essence, and made peace with the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t a mindset a young person should have—but for Luo Quan, it’s perfectly normal. Everyone knows she has an entire world of imaginative material.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In her world, she’s likely lived through hundreds or even thousands of years—so such a state of mind is entirely natural.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, her regular script is also excellent—I can faintly see the shadow of Yan Zhenqing. She can already be called a master calligrapher!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of Luo Quan’s largest fan hubs, Zhihu never misses a chance to praise her every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just take her recent Olympic gold medal—on Zhihu, they nearly crowned her the light of Asia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time was no different—they immediately invoked Yan Zhenqing’s shadow, and the comment section fully agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone even suggested Luo Quan release a regular script practice book called “Luo Zhonghua Script,” which is both majestic and memorable—sure to sell out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This comment made Luo Quan sweat beads—“Luo Zhonghua”? She hated practicing calligraphy as a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While copying from a model book is effective, the process is unbearably dull—every time she wrote, it felt like suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now you want her to inflict that on children? She simply can’t do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some things are beyond her control—just as she didn’t want to torment children, she unintentionally added another required classical poem to middle school curricula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second top-voted answer also mentioned this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my view, this ci will be included in middle school textbooks within three years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Its theme is exceptionally profound—while most people chase fame and profit, Luo Quan has already returned to simplicity, unmoved by honor or disgrace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lines “One straw cloak, let the rain and wind pass” and “No wind, no rain, no clear sky” embody the very essence—reading them fills one with awe at how talent can attain such heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My suggestion: Luo Quan should personally annotate this ci, so when it appears in exams, teachers won’t misinterpret it and produce absurd reading comprehension answers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the over-the-top praise, this final point hit the nail on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many famous writers create exam questions based on their own works, but their answers almost always differ wildly from the official ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So netizens joke that these authors understand their own works less than the exam setters do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s all just a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan has no intention of writing reading comprehension answers—this ci is simple and clear; a literal translation suffices, with little room for misinterpretation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Luo Quan’s “Ding Feng Bo” appeared on China’s Poetry Conference, earning unanimous praise from several sinology professors, who called it a rare masterpiece since the new century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The submission name for the ci was also intriguing: “An Anonymous Ms. Luo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Host Xiao Sa nearly lost composure upon seeing it—he’s one of the younger hosts on Channel One, occasionally browses Bilibili, and knew immediately that Luo Quan wrote it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those sinology professors, elderly and barely using smartphones, had no idea who “Ms. Luo” was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even urged the production team to contact Ms. Luo and encourage her to publish more of her works.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who could write “Ding Feng Bo” surely had more such pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If published, they could set a new direction for modern classical poetry creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professors’ deduction was remarkably accurate—Luo Quan indeed had more than just “Ding Feng Bo”; she had even better ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as a singer, not a poet, she had no need to dump all her reserves at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good steel must be used on the cutting edge—these works were too outstanding to be released just anywhere or anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when fans asked, she replied: “That’s all the reserve material for now—if you want more, wait until I get inspired again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the production team and professors, they weren’t kept in the dark long—they were soon told the true author of “Ding Feng Bo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning it was Luo Quan, the professors were stunned, then nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because of her fame and her deeply ingrained image as a prodigy, they weren’t surprised at all that she could write such a piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A once-in-a-century genius should be extraordinary—and she truly is: beyond music and film, she’s now made significant strides in literature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor has it she even entered a painting competition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knows what she’ll unveil next, but it’s certain to be astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Luo Quan, with some free time, began creating her oil painting submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others paint oil portraits by finding scenic spots or models, then fully immerse themselves in quiet focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan is different—she can chat with fans while painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what she painted was intriguing: her room had limited scenery, so fans wondered what she intended to depict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she said she’d paint a self-portrait and placed a mirror beside the canvas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said all this before even mixing her paints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lona Lisa’s Smile?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the jokes in the comments, Luo Quan laughed: “Isn’t Mona Lisa said to be Da Vinci’s depiction of a woman based on himself? Are you asking me to paint a ‘Nan Luo Quan’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The identity of Mona Lisa’s model has long been debated in the art world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some say she was Da Vinci’s female alter ego, others claim she was a merchant’s wife, and some even insist she was a prostitute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each theory has plausible arguments, yet no one has ever provided a definitive answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These unsolved mysteries make Mona Lisa’s smile even more legendary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the most renowned Western oil paintings, its value far exceeds the canvas itself—it has become a cultural symbol, a spiritual treasure of all humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fans hoping Luo Quan would imitate it and paint a “Lona Lisa’s Smile” were just joking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it comes to art, Luo Quan remains serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were just a casual livestream, she could joke freely—even painting “Lona Lisa’s Black Face” would be fine, as long as it passed review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But parody doesn’t belong in a competition—she’s never heard of any master artist entering contests with jokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better to take competition entries seriously, so when she saw people calling for the Mona Lisa, she just smiled and began her self-portrait as originally planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mixing pigments is a technical skill, especially since she was about to paint a hyperrealistic piece, requiring precise control of color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve the exact hues she wanted, Luo Quan first used a spare canvas as a test surface, applying mixed pigments to it and comparing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a lengthy process, but absolutely necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Luo Quan’s reminder, fans had already turned on other devices and started watching while playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the more focused fans wouldn’t find it especially boring—Luo Quan played music while streaming and occasionally responded to comments, so interaction wasn’t absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After perfecting the colors she needed, Luo Quan removed the test canvas and replaced it with a fresh one, then sat down on the stool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before painting a self-portrait, one must certainly look in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the most beautiful woman in the world, she herself had no clear sense of what exactly made her beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closely examining her reflection, she realized every part of her was beautiful—there was no hope left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly a face that makes fish sink and geese fall, that makes the moon hide and flowers blush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan gazed into the mirror and couldn’t help smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re narcissistic, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone already thinks you’re beautiful without you saying it—saying it out loud makes you seem immodest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come home, wife. Don’t go out and embarrass yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fans assumed Luo Quan was just joking—who didn’t know she, Luo Quan, was a stunning beauty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being teased by fans, Luo Quan said nothing more, simply tied up her long hair at the back to keep it from smudging the painting later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, it wouldn’t touch anything, but there was always a chance she might turn her head too sharply and fling it over—either way, if it landed on the canvas or palette, it’d be a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Dahei and Xiao Yu walked over, and the sunflower that had replaced the armor of Jeanne d’Arc also turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they all desperately wanted to be on camera, while Xiao Jin felt left out, as it still hadn’t found a form it could transform into.\u003C\u002Fp>",2094,"2026-06-20T22:54:06.151Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9dda08d0ccc487daa49ce26e7c78b9302a4dd50c19b13e7e889ae10bedc778e3","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-969","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-967",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
