Ma Jiaqi, a young master from an eminent family x Ding Chengxin, a courtesan skilled in music
Ma Jiaqi prefers listening to the guqin and music to writing poetry and essays. Though he has studied music theory since childhood, he rarely comes across a tune to his taste. That is, until he happens to visit a pleasure house and discovers Ding Chengxin, a new musician who sells her art, but not her body.
In this version, Ma Jiaqi is a few years older than Xiao Ma Ge. There will be out-of-character moments, so don't read if that bothers you.
Premise: Inspired by listening to "Zui"
