(Historical setting + academic genius + humble origins + romance + one heroine + not a fast-paced power fantasy)
In his previous life, Zhang Zhen was a top student at a prestigious music academy, skilled in all kinds of classical instruments and well versed in classical culture.
In this life, he transmigrates into a poor family and becomes the son of a musician.
Born into the lowly status of a commoner, he is barred from the imperial examinations and from doing business, leaving him with no choice but to make a living through music.
The shackles of that status have worn down his fathers, who dare not resist or reach for more, and are content to kneel forever.
But I, Zhang Zhen, refuse to kneel.
If there is no road beneath my feet, I will forge one myself.
If fate is unjust, I will change it.
At the market, he performs “Two Springs Reflect the Moon,” bringing the whole crowd to tears.
At the county yamen, his rendition of “Horse Racing” dazzles the magistrate.
At Prince Zhao’s residence, his “Farewell to My Hometown” leaves the tenth prince astonished by its heavenly beauty.
At the emperor’s birthday celebration, his guzheng performance of “Spring River, Flower, Moon, Night” makes him famous throughout the land.
He masters every kind of instrument, leaving the Imperial Music Bureau helpless against him, while the great musical scholars all cry out that he is a monster.
Yet Zhang Zhen’s talents go far beyond music and lyrics.
He can recite the Four Books and Five Classics at will and cite historical sources as easily as reaching into his pocket.
He wins a princess’s heart and earns the favor of the true dragon.
How does a man who plays the erhu end up marrying the most beautiful princess in the land and becoming a prime minister at the pinnacle of power? How can a life turn around so dramatically?
Zhang Zhen’s legend begins with that performance of “Two Springs Reflect the Moon” at the market.
It's very interesting and creative. In addition to music, you can also add some poetry or singing to suit the occasion later! Even this update should be mentioned. It is normal to have two or three updates. Is the first update just for signing in? 😂 Come on, author, I wish you this book will be a success. Please write it carefully and don't let the quality fall behind. I have read hundreds of novels!
Very talented, the author is talented, the articles are lifelike, and the sentences are endless!
The author has profound knowledge and powerful quotations and presentations. It is not a typical fast food article, which may be the main reason why it is not popular! In a word, there is not enough conflict and not enough excitement. Fortunately, the author does not pursue this!
Wonderful, a thought-provoking and good novel. The storyline is coherent and the characters are well described! One word "good"!
At present, it seems that more than a dozen of them are okay. This is the affirmation of me, a book fan for more than ten years.
Hahahahahaha
Why don't you come and perform a square dance by Auntie?
I am the author of this book. I would like to express my opinions and suggestions here. Thank you for your support.
Not bad, come on, editor-in-chief! The editor understands music and literature, and has a good grasp of human nature! Take good care of you!
I hope I won't write about it later
