Well, it enriches the overall narrative. When you quote poetry, it can set a mood. Say, a dark and brooding poem in a mystery novel can create an atmosphere of suspense. It can also be used to foreshadow events. If a poem about death is quoted early on, it might hint at a character's impending doom. Plus, it allows the writer to connect with literary traditions and add a layer of intertextuality.
An Excerpt from the Classic Quoting of Tang Poetry and Bo Ye's FictionsThe following are some of the phrases in You Are My Million Stars:
1. "Lord Zeng, what do you want? Since you want to die so badly, why don't you show me one?"
2. "As long as she pretends well enough. No one would know that she was heartbroken."
3. "From now on, I will give up whatever you threaten me."
4. "When I came to this world, I suffered and struggled. Life is so long, and love shouldn't be the thing to be proud of."
5. "I can walk on my own now. I won't be hugged by anyone anymore."
6. " Even though I've been in prison for five years and the Tang family is in dire straits, the world still has to call me Miss Tang respectfully. That's the difference between you and me."
7. "Five years ago, Tang Shi was the number one socialite in Haicheng. That's why she was so stunning and dazzling. Naturally, she was arrogant and noble. How could she do something like that? Maybe the only time she acted cheap was because of Bo Ye, and Bo Ye didn't cherish her at all."
8. "If one day, my mommy and Young Master Bo get back together…it's very likely that they'll repeat the same mistakes again. At the very least, he did not acknowledge her as his father. Even if he was perfect to the outside world and had a first-class family background and wealth, was a man who had no feelings for his mother really worth her being attracted to him again? No, it's not worth it."
9. " Bo Ye, if one day you realize that you've let me down…"
10. "Young Master Bo, have you had any other women in the past five years?"
