When Jiejie Cried Wolf? Xiao Yu (小宇) sings the song "Sirius" (天狼星)

The Hook | Personal Anecdote

The Hook

I put this song on to write, and I swear, I can barely see the screen because my eyes are raining! From the moment the music starts—that soft, soulful hum, that non-verbal melody—I feel overcome with solace. It’s amazing how I don't understand a word of this track, but I’m totally engrossed in its spirit. This song doesn't just play in the background; it captures you. I’ve had it on repeat since it was first released with The Wolf OST—it’s the perfect track to sleep, clean, or sometimes just to cry to (and random crying is good for the soul!).

Song Title & Artist:

Song: Sirius (天狼星) Artist: Xiao Yu (宋念宇)

Why It’s a Jiejie's Favorite (Emotional Core):

This is a masterclass in emotional grace. It’s such a short song, but its combination of soulful power and deep peace is unmatched. The one thing I truly appreciate about Asian music is the depths it goes to. Before I read a single lyric, the music already felt like a powerful pair of opposing emotions. Now, having read the lyrics, I understand why it tears my heart apart: the words are pure poetry, reaching for the Universe, the mountains, and the sky. They speak to an eternal love that yearns: "You will firmly embrace me / Won’t even spare my tears / Don’t let me be carried by the wind like sand that has been released / I will embrace you tightly / Like the universe opening its arms / How I wish to be by your side."

Drama Connection & Link

Connection

Drama Connection:

This track is the true heartbreak of The Wolf. It’s inextricably linked to the tragic, star-crossed relationship between Chu Youwen (Darren Wang) and Ma Zhaixing (Li Qin). Every time it plays, I feel the ache of their fate. I so wish Wolfie and Ma had a better ending, and this song carries all the hope and despair of their story. I'm on repeat #3 just writing this!
