Half a month had passed since the premier of Drawing Sword.
Although it was a military themed series, it managed to stir up quite a commotion in the entertainment industry, bringing them a huge shock.
Its outstanding ratings caused the value of each actor in the series to rise explosively, leading to them receiving endless invitations.
Just as the major entertainment companies were trying to headhunt those actors, they were surprised to find out that a good number of those people were not actors!
It was not because of their lack of popularity. Instead, it was because acting was not their profession!
After further research, they discovered a more shocking issue. It turns out that most of the action scenes in Drawing Sword were done by Warriors. There were no stuntmen at all. Even the fights were real!
Following that, some media platforms published their discovery. With the seriesâ popularity, that topic immediately sparked another round of heated debate.
[Damn! Itâs all Warriors in there!]
[Are the Warriors getting involved in the silver screen too? Thatâs just rash!]
[I hope to see more of this kind of series. Itâs filled with positive vibes! Warriors are the coolest!]
[No wonder this series is lit AF. So they were all Warriors. Waaaahhh, thatâs so cool!]
[The fights are just exhilarating. So cool!]
[It was all actual moves. No wonder the acting was so realistic. This is an awesome series.]
[Theyâre Warriors! They are the ones I respect the most. Itâs a wonderful thing for them to be on the silver screen. If possible, Iâd like to learn martial arts!]
[Thatâs a pioneer project. How did Actor Y get so many Warriors involved? Iâve only heard of them in the news.]
[Thatâs right. They would only appear when there are big incidents in the country. Theyâre the ones that silently shelter us. This military themed series is just so relatable.]
[Actor Yâs script is really good too. Otherwise, these Warriors wouldnât have taken part.]
[Itâs so inspiring. I suddenly feel the urge to become a Warrior!]
[Ahhh, no wonder the people in there are so handsome. Thatâs how a man should be. Now that I look back at those little fresh meat, theyâre like nothing.]

Zhang Taoâs recording studio.
Everyone was dejected.
âRelentless Swordsmanâs ratings?â
âItâs already down to 0.72%.â
âThat low?â
âSigh, whatâs going on? How did it get to this?â
âActor Yâs TV series is just too crazy. Thereâs nothing we can do.â
âFor him to hire Warriors...did the Warriorâs Department support him? Are they trying to convey some sort of message exposing Warriors on the silver screen?â
âIs Actor Y trying to raise the bar for all TV series? Every one of his series has such high ratings. Drawing Swordâs highest rating had already gone past 6%. How will the other TV stations survive in the future? What about the other production teams and entertainment companies? Can they ever surpass him?!â
âYou guys didnât even see Best Time. Theyâre even worse off now.â
âThis is too scary!â
...
A lot of people from the entertainment industry were gathering for a meal.
âItâs unbelievable. These ratings are just terrifying.â
âI just hope for one thing right now.â
âDirector Liu, what is it?â
âI hope that Drawing Swordâs ratings will stop here. If they go any higher, itâll be hopeless.â
âThatâs right. 6% is more than enough. Any higher would be...â
âIsnât the series ending tomorrow? Letâs wait for the results.â
âSigh, may god help us!â
âI pray for a crappy ending!â
âThatâs right! Crappy ending!â
âPfft, you guys are too mean. Why so much hate?â
âItâs his fault for being so monstrous. Actor Y is really giving us too much pressure. I really want to know whatâs going on with the nickname Y. Itâs generating a lot of pressure in the various fields. Actor Y, Singer Y, Livestream Y, Hacker Y, and Miracle Doctor Y. Theyâre all terrifying beings in their fields. These guys are just too good at what they do.â
âYeah. When Y is in the same field, the pressure is immense and causes great despair.â
âItâs possible for a series like this to meet a crappy ending. Letâs just wait and see.â
...
The next day, 7:30pm.
Drawing Sword had finally come to an end.
After so many years of warfare, they finally achieved victory. As the symbol of honor, Li Yunlong was given the stage to deliver his speech.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe spirit of drawing swordâWhen ancient swordsmen ran into their opponents, they would still unsheath their sword even if their opponent was the unrivaled, best swordsman in the world. Even if they were to fall to their opponentâs sword, that would be a noble loss. Thatâis the spirit of drawing sword!
âIt is proven that a troop with excellent culture is the breeding ground for heroes. Even when badly outnumbered and surrounded, we still dared to draw our swords. We dare to fight to the bitter end. To put simply, the courageous will win! The spirit of drawing sword is the spirit of our military. Where the sword points, all shall perish.â
Following the strong and moving speech, the ending theme started playing.
Some were overwhelmed by emotions, some were crying silently, and some felt their passion boiling over as they looked at the screen. This series was just too special as they have never encountered a TV series that could affect their hearts like that.
The next day, the ratings for Drawing Swordâs ending came out.
Episode 32: 7.28%
At that moment, people went wild!
The entire entertainment industry, the media, and viewers were all dumbfounded!
They were stunned with disbelief!
[O-o-over 7%?!]
[I donât know what emoji I can use to express my emotion right now. F*ck!]
[Oh no, I think my brain is freezing up.]
[Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?]
[I canât deny that itâs a wonderful series.]
[7.28%. What an astronomical figure. Thatâs something nobody expected, right?]
[This will turn into a legend.]
[That might not be the case. Actor Yâs ratings record can still be broken by Actor Y himself.]
[Thatâs true. After iPartment, we have Drawing Sword. Iâm looking forward to Actor Yâs new series.]
...
In the entertainment industry:
[F*ck! Damn you!]
[Damn it! It really went over 7%! This is ruthless!]
[Although we knew this was coming, I was still stupefied when I saw the figure.]
[I wonât dare to film anymore TV series in the future.]
[I feel that my old TV series were all shit...]
[Instead of a crappy ending, it was a grand finale. I feel so hopeless!]
...
Drawing Sword was completed.
On Miracle Island, everyone was celebrating.
Li Tai raised his cup. âYoung Master Ye, youâre super amazing! Following you is the best choice Iâve ever made in my life. This toast is for you!â
Li Jing similarly raised his cup. âYoung Master Ye, Iâve learned so much from you. This is for you!â
âHahaha, why donât we just give a toast to Young Master Ye together?â
Ye Lingchen raised his cup in response to the toasts. âThank you for all your support. We will work together and help this company grow!â
After the celebration, Ye Lingchen returned to his home. However, his expression was solemn.
He stared at the phone and his brows furrowed into a frown.
He had tried continuously to relay the good news to Old Qin and the other Warriors involved in the filming. However, Old Qinâs phone was unreachable.
It had already been over half a month without any reply. The matter that occupied Old Qin seemed to be rather serious...
