A three-second hum of osmanthus blossoms leaves Shen Yan, the faceless, million-follower top-tier star with a classical Chinese singing voice, dazed all night.
He’s a neurosurgeon with a flawless record in the operating room, and the legendary voice actor “Yanqing”;
She’s Lin Xian, a second-year pharmacy student who secretly steamed fish on livestream for her twenty-second birthday, unaware that the entire internet was already searching for her.
When a voice becomes their secret signal, a mutual crush quietly begins
She’s in love with the “Uncle Qing” voice in her headphones, the one that pulled her out of her lowest moments;
He’s in love with the voice on the livestream that knows how to fillet fish and work a fifteen-minute-and-seven-second steaming trick.
Online, they’re each other’s secret identities;
In the same city, they pass by each other, then meet again.
At last, the scent of osmanthus at Huichuntang, the cold gleam of a surgical blade, and the countless light signs of the classical music fandom all lead them to the truth
So it was you, the one I’ve been searching for all along, the one whose voice feels like home.
A sugary-sweet, healing journey that begins with a voice and spans all four seasons.
“May you find kindred spirits along the way and, at last, a place to call home. And I will spend a lifetime answering you.”
