In 2026, Su Nian, a graduate student in ethnic vocal music at a music conservatory, touches a thousand-year-old bronze drum unearthed from the Lijiang River in Guangxi just before her graduation concert. She unexpectedly transmigrates to the Lingnan West Circuit during the Northern Song dynasty, becoming the legendary “Singing Immortal,” Liu Sanjie.
Armed with modern memories and vocal techniques, she finds herself in an era where folk songs are forbidden and the wealthy rule unchecked. Liu Sanjie's original soul has not vanished; it remains deep in her mind, sometimes guiding her and sometimes fighting for control. With modern singing techniques, a knack for spreading ideas, and sharp negotiating skills, Su Nian rewrites the tragic fate of “Liu Sanjie, forced to ride a fish up to heaven.” She will make everyone on both banks of the Lijiang River sing along with her.
Meanwhile, in 2026, her archaeologist boyfriend Lin Che discovers that the inscriptions on the bronze drum are growing day by day. A song is slowly opening a passage between the two eras.
The drumbeat echoes across a thousand years, streaming live and resonating in the ears of tens of millions. When the seven fragments are pieced together to form a complete bronze drum, Su Nian must choose:
Return to 2026, or stay by the Lijiang River a thousand years ago and become the real Liu Sanjie?
The restoration of Sister Liu Sanjie's story is very immersive and worth watching. The more you watch it, the more immersive it becomes [Blowing Kisses] Really beautiful😄
