Shen Mo transmigrates to a parallel world, going from a literature graduate student to a musical prodigy driven to the brink of death by overwork. Faced with the restless entertainment industry and the mess left behind by the original owner of his body, he draws on the treasure trove of Earth's civilization and boldly joins the top-tier dating show Heartbeat Signal.
While the other guests are busy showing off their romances and crafting their public personas, one performance of “East Wind Breaks” leaves the whole internet in awe, and his poem “Prelude to Water Melody” earns him a place among the literary greats. He uses a poetry game to face-slap the top-tier stars and wins a goddess over with his guzheng music. From Xi'an's City That Never Sleeps to Henan's Drama Fantasy City, wherever he goes becomes a showcase for Chinese civilization.
Does the company treat him like a pawn to be discarded? He turns around and teaches them a lesson with an invitation from CCTV. By the time everyone thinks he is merely a culture buff on a dating show, he has quietly become the banner of a revival in traditional Chinese style. Drawing on five thousand years of civilization, he writes a legend of love, fame, and culture.
