I'm Tone-Deaf, and You Want Me to Do This?

[Comedy + Invincibility = Chen Lang]

After buying a two-stringed fiddle at a rock-bottom price, Chen Lang opens the door and discovers that he has somehow arrived in a world where people fight using musical instruments.

But the System refuses to bind itself to him, claiming he's tone-deaf.

With no other choice, Chen Lang can only accept the System offered as compensation.

And so, a Confucian scholar of the highest caliber is born.

Many years later...

"In teaching, there should be no distinction of classes." In other words, "When I teach you how to behave, I don't care who you are."

"At thirty, I stood firm." That means, "It takes thirty people to get me on my feet so they can fight me!"

"If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening." That means, "Once I find out how to get to your house in the morning, you'll be dead by nightfall."

"If you don't learn the rites, you cannot stand." That means, "If you don't learn manners and show me respect, I'll beat you until you can't stand."

(The blurb doesn't do it justice. Read the novel. It starts slowly, but gets more exciting as it goes.)
