Synopsis
In order to save his critically ill mother, Guqin player Su Wan, who is on the verge of death, wants to sell his ancestral Tangqin, but is humiliated instead. In desperation, she accidentally used blood as a matchmaker to awaken the thousand-year-old soul of the piano - Xie Qingyuan - who had been imprisoned in the piano. This talented luthier from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, with a poisonous tongue, arrogance and a sweet taste for life, regarded modern music as dirty noise, but was forced to connect with Su Wan's destiny through a "blood contract". She needs to help him absorb the "power of a close friend" to maintain his soul body, while he needs to earn life-saving money for her with lost piano music. From online live broadcasts to the top music variety show "The Peak of Chinese Style", Su Wan and Xie Qingyuan crushed their opponents with one stunning song after another, becoming popular all over the Internet. As everyone knows, their rise has touched the interests of Qin Yueming, the current "master of national style" who stole Xie Qingyuan's works, causing him to use capital, power and even sinister metaphysics to crazily suppress them. What is even more dangerous is that a mysterious organization called the "Ancient Music Protection Association" quietly approaches, and its purpose is to imprison and study Xie Qingyuan as an "immortal piano spirit". And the truth behind Su Wan's mother's coma was far more shocking than she imagined... In the ambiguous pull of life and death crises and "forced divine intercourse", the relationship between the master and servant, who exploit each other, gradually deteriorates. Su Wan discovered that she had to face not only a battle for survival to save her mother, but also a battle to clear the name of her loved ones, protect the true traditional culture, and fight against the entire hypocritical world. This is a desperate counterattack composed with the sound of the piano, and it is also a heart-stirring love song that spans thousands of years. Purpose: This book aims to explore the contemporary value and inheritance dilemma of traditional culture through a story about the collision of ancient and modern times and the interweaving of fantasy. Using music as a medium, it writes about women's self-awakening and strength in desperate situations, criticizes the artistic reality distorted by capital and fame and fortune in the era of traffic, and finally celebrates the pure pursuit and protection of "beauty" and "truth" across time and space, and the deep emotions that arise from it, which are enough to break all obstacles.
