Gu Qingling, a freshman in the Department of Architecture, has two secrets: First, she has hidden her identity as a violinist for many years as "Cecilia" and is anonymously competing in top international music competitions; second, a note and a severed string were left for her by a stranger on a snowy night in Vienna three years ago. After entering University A, she was assigned to a mixed dormitory and became roommates with the poor but tough Ci Yun and the lively and cheerful Lin Yue. Her seemingly ordinary campus life was completely broken due to an unexpected concert rescue.
Lu Jin from the Department of Computer Science is a programming genius in the eyes of everyone, and his other identity is the anonymous pianist "Ash". Three years ago, he heard a soul-saving performance on the streets of Vienna, and he also remembered the fire emblem on the piano case. When Gu Qingling appeared on campus with the same coat of arms, he approached her step by step through the system he designed, and entered her world in the name of a cooperative project, but he still dared not recognize her.
The two met again and again in the piano room, classroom, and project room. Their musical understanding and soul resonance became increasingly clear, but the shadows of the past, the rules of the competition, and their respective concerns surged like undercurrents. When the Melos competition requires improvisation and AI identity verification, and when the notes and broken strings from three years ago resurface, can they recognize each other in the intertwined melodies, so that the unfinished concerto will finally resonate?
This is a campus story about music, secrets and two-way closeness, with fire on the strings and light in the ashes.
