You are an Ancient Chinese Poet in Exile

About You are an Ancient Chinese Poet in Exile

Lament your fate and write a poem about it.

You are an ancient Chinese poet in exile at a beautifully scenic location, but... you miss your friends very much. Go about your day haunted by how badly you've been treated by the emperor while also worrying that he's being taken advantage of by bad-faith officials at court, drink lots of wine, stare at rivers, and also the moon.
