Chen Ye, a delivery driver, died unexpectedly while livestreaming himself singing folk songs. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a cultivation world where people followed the Dao through song.
Here, refined music was orthodox, while folk songs were considered low-class tunes. His predecessor was a mute, low-ranked servant whom everyone in the sect could bully. After spilling a cup of tea, he had been beaten to death by the steward.
But Chen Ye had an entire library of Yunnan folk songs in his head!
One loud rendition of "The Sun Rises over White Rock," and spiritual energy poured down from the heavens, leaving the cruel steward scared stiff. At the outer-sect tournament, one folk song crushed a prodigy of refined music. Before a three-thousand-year-old audition stele, his rendition of "Haicai Tune" split the stone!
Everyone laughed at him: "Vulgar songs have no place in high society."
Chen Ye just laughed. "My folk songs are made to shut up every doubter, and shatter the secret you've kept hidden for three thousand years!"
