My Senior Sister Burned Me in the Alchemy Furnace: I Refine Yin and Yang in the Ghost Realm

With a pair of hands, he can hear the true sound of all things. The melody hidden in a broken zither, the sounds left behind in a fire, who is lying and who is hiding a blade: he can hear it all.

The young Chen Sanxian is the most unremarkable instrument repairer in Linyuan City. His master dies in a fire, and the killer leaves behind the sound of a zither. Carrying a zither pieced together from charred wood, he enters the city to investigate the case and casually dishes out some face-slapping.

At the Music Bureau's grand competition, he is assigned to the lowest-ranked group of instrument repairers. Everyone laughs that someone who fixes instruments has no business taking the stage. He repairs a cracked ancient zither that had been condemned, then plays the melody it once made before it cracked, stunning the entire audience. He hears his opponent's tune just once and plays it back in turn. When the Music Bureau's examiners use the sound of a northern flute to make things difficult, he points out with a single remark that her playing is wounded, silencing the whole hall.

The orphaned survivor of the Su family accuses him of stealing a score and wiping out her family. He offers no defense, only laying the whereabouts of the surviving score before her. He has a body that can hear strings, and the destined fate of a true heir to Tianque. Everyone wants to seize him, yet no one imagined that the most unremarkable instrument repairer would be the final zither in this game.

He has never wanted much: to find the source of that zither sound and clear his master's name. Anyone who stands in his way will have to listen to him finish this song.
