However, upon opening the app, I found it was not an update, but a single chapter.

Xia Xiyao clicked on the single chapter, only to discover that Xu Lin had released three videos at once on Douyin. He sang three songs, which were the lyrics of the top three entries in the lyric-filling event.

This is the recent lyric-filling event, tomorrow is the last day.

Now the voting for the event's songs is almost over, and the top three rankings are ahead and unshakable.

Prizes for first to third place are 800,000, 500,000, and 300,000 respectively.

Two days before the event started, Xia Xiyao also considered writing lyrics, wanting to give it a try. She attempted to write three sets of lyrics, initially with great enthusiasm, thinking her work was good. But after seeing others' submissions, she felt hers was embarrassing in comparison and didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she had to give up.

She knew she wasn't really capable of writing lyrics. Besides, she had only ever scored a maximum of 56 in high school Chinese essays.

Moreover, high school essays were all practical texts. Could this have anything to do with real literary skills?

No, it couldn't.

Only a few students with a literary gift can do it; these people are talented and read extensively from a young age. What they write is truly exceptional, beautiful, or powerful, touching the heart.

Knowing she's not cut out for it, Xia Xiyao ultimately had to give up.

Seeing Xu Lin say he posted three videos on Douyin, Xia Xiyao also decisively opened Xu Lin's Douyin profile. Sure enough, she found the three new videos, which had been posted half an hour ago, right after Xia Xiyao went into the bathroom.

But in just half an hour, each video had over a hundred thousand likes.

Xu Lin is quite popular now, even more so than many so-called internet celebrities with millions of followers, who don't get tens of thousands of likes as quickly as he does.

Although Xu Lin only has over 800,000 followers now.

Xia Xiyao put on her headphones and clicked on the first video, immediately seeing the information appear on the screen.

Song Name: Star Sea and You

Composer: Mr. Xu.

Lyricist: Three-Headed Watermelon.

Three-Headed Watermelon is the author of the top-ranked lyrics in the lyric-filling event. This is their nickname, and it's unclear if they're male or female.

Xu Lin labeled the other two songs in the same way.

Xia Xiyao sat in her chair, and as the video played, a familiar guitar sound began to play.

In the video, Xu Lin was playing the guitar, and Xia Xiyao felt Xu Lin was playing better than in the first guitar video, a feeling that was very strong.

The guitar played for a while, then Xu Lin started singing.

The first set of lyrics, titled "Star Sea and You," had no song title for Xu Lin's composition, so people added their own preferred titles when submitting lyrics. Whether there were duplicates, Xu Lin did not know.

"Star Sea and You" is currently in first place, leading second place by 100,000 votes, a huge gap.

Moreover, the website controls voting to prevent vote rigging, so all votes now can be said to be real.

Additionally, some people use AI to generate lyrics, but the website uses a specialized AI to check for plagiarism, passing over anything generated by AI.

The lyrics for "Star Sea and You" are among the best. The songwriting level is high, with good penmanship and powerful words. Just reading the first line captivates everyone, even if they just read the lyrics. It's like a beautiful modern poem; its poignant yet contained style made many people emotional yet in awe, thus it got the most votes.

In short, many people think this set of lyrics is very good.

What does Xu Lin think?

He thinks the lyrics aren't bad. The author is likely a woman, quite a literary type, and has some life experience.

Literary style is quite interesting; different ages produce different styles. As they grow older, the author's writing will bear the marks of time and life experiences, much like how an eighteen-year-old boy and a twenty-eight-year-old man are destined to be different.

The second set of lyrics is called "Deep Winter Without You."

The third set of lyrics is called "Wind Rises and Dusk Clouds Gather."

Xu Lin's composition just provided a score, you could say it was a universal template, and you could fill it with any emotional song.

Because of this, the lyrics have gone beyond Xu Lin's book. Some people directly incorporate their life experiences into the lyrics, and for this reason, it resonates with more people when they see the lyrics, and even more so when they hear Xu Lin singing. Those with experience resonate directly.

Music is truly a magical thing, and it's also the thing that can most directly touch people's hearts.

While Xia Xiyao listened to Xu Lin singing, many netizens were also listening. Who knows how many times these videos were looped by those netizens.

Excellent lyrics, top-notch composition, superb singing skills, and Xu Lin's quite magnetic, half-divine voice deeply captivate the netizens.

So, the comment section under the video erupted.

"Mr. Xu, you've made me emo again!"

"I'm done for, even a bachelor who's never been in love is feeling depressed!"

"My wife cried her eyes out in my arms, saying she thought of her ex-boyfriend. Mr. Xu, what should I do?"

"Oh my god, it's so good! And Mr. Xu sings so well too?"
