Ancient Music Crosses Into a New World

Shen Qingyue graduated from the traditional music program at one of China's top music conservatories. She wields the ancestral guqin Dust-Cleansing, masters the techniques of ancient music, and has a pure heart and an unyielding spirit. She devotes her life to refined music, keeps clear of court politics, and refuses to bow to the powerful. After performing before the emperor, a spoiled royal scion snatches her guqin. She falls into the water with Dust-Cleansing and accidentally transmigrates to a modern city.

New to modern society, she is overwhelmed by the clamor of cars and crowds and the electronic noise. In a world where no one understands ancient music, even a master musician versed in the five notes and six pitches is left utterly speechless. She knows nothing about phones, transportation, or social conventions, and is repeatedly treated as a weirdo and turned away.
