Only raw meat can draw them out.
Who did this to her?
Someone with a grudge.
For sure it's Lixiang.
Yunqiao was her lover.
She hated her for stealing him!
Not necessarily.
The wine was meant for Yunqiao.
He unwittingly gave it to Yulian.
Master-
Please... save my wife too!
Huh?
Her robes, clouds; her face, flowers.
Careful!
Where are you going?
Chunqin?!
Shh...
So who was that?
An illusion.
How do you know?
She cast no shadow.
Only cats walk on rooftops.
What poem was she reciting?
It's by Li Bo.
It likens beauty to clouds and flowers.
When was it written and where?
Let me take you somewhere.
What is this place?
The imperial library.
I think of it as my own.
Over there.
You lost your job but still come here?
Whatever.
Push, Kukai!
Stop.
What...
A little bit more.
Ok.
Stop.
It was the spring of 755.
Emperor Li
was celebrating his beloved's birthday.
Who was his beloved?
The Tang emperor
had 3000 women, but eyes only for one.
Emperor Li adored her.
He filled a giant pool with wine
and the hall with 100,000 flowers.
Guests came from all over.
He called it the Feast of Supreme Joy!
Emperor Li ordered Li Bo
to write a poem for Lady Yang.
Her robes, clouds; her face, flowers.
Li Bo guarded his talent,
writing happily about common folk,
but shunning the rich and privileged.
This poem was the only exception.
He wrote it at the Feast of Supreme Joy.
drove him to madness.
Madness?
Only madness
could inspire such a great poem.
Li Bo wrote at the emperor's behest.
The first line...
Her robes, clouds; her face, flowers.
Having seen her face,
why write only of clouds and flowers?
Good monk-
hers was a beauty beyond words.
It's poetry
as romantic as her beauty and his love.
Come!
All great emperors
want to grow the realm and inspire awe.
Emperor Li was no different.
But that wasn't the real him.
Daring to give up imperial glory for love-
that was Emperor Li.
He loved Lady Yang-
he saw her as the soul of the dynasty.
Often in my dreams at night,
I live in those glorious times-
I too am at the feast
and lay my eyes on her.
May I ask
how many poems did Li Bo write?
He was a legend-
too many to count.
So why'd the demon cat pick this one?
Who was he reciting for?
What do you mean?
It was for you.
If you, like Li Bo,
are writing about Lady Yang...
Your "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"
is about the emperor's love for Lady Yang.
Am I right?
Quality guaranteed!
How much for one?
Didn't I give you one before?
Yes. It was delicious.
Say what you came to say.
Your magic. There's one thing I don't get.
It's magic, what's there to get?
