During the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty, the guqin prodigy Lin Qi was framed and died with bitterness in his heart after drinking a cup of poison.
When he opened his eyes again, it was the year 2065.
His soul had crossed into the body of a young man with the same name, a fourth-year guqin major at the Capital Conservatory of Music who had just drowned after jumping into a lake to save someone. Two sets of memories collided in his mind: he was both the dazzling musician of Chang'an and the bright-smiling young man on a modern campus.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Qi casually demonstrated the beginner piece “Immortal's Exercise” during an ordinary lesson. One of the students' parents secretly recorded him and uploaded the video online. Within just a few days, it had racked up tens of millions of views. The music flowing from the fingers of this extraordinarily young guqin teacher seemed to have magical power.
Then, at the graduation ceremony, his performance of “High Mountains and Flowing Water,” a piece lost for a thousand years, stunned the entire audience. The conservatory's senior professors immediately decided to make an exception and hire him as a teacher.
Everyone thought he would quietly teach the guqin.
But then… “Teacher Lin, I don't think the fingering in this pipa piece is right?”
“I know a little. Let me take a look.”
“Teacher Lin, I keep getting stuck on the guzheng tremolo!”
“Move aside. I'll demonstrate it for you.”
“Teacher Lin, the erhu…”
“Enough! What do you even teach?!”
A teacher who can do more than his students, and a class full of students with wildly varying abilities.
It took him just four years to turn them from a disorganized mess into a sensation across the entire traditional music world.
[When a guqin prodigy from a thousand years ago meets the most rebellious class of students, this musical legacy spanning time is destined to amaze the whole world.]
