When cello teacher Lin Shutong opened the door of the cafe where she had her 13th blind date in the shadow of Wutong, she never expected that this absurd encounter would turn the gears of fate that had been sealed for twenty years. Ji Linchuan, the piano tuner wearing ebony cufflinks, used the silver ring on his ring finger to catch the collapsing iceberg in her cup, but in the crack of the seventh rib of the piano case, he glimpsed the resonance frequency of her soul.
In the closed space backstage on a rainy night, pearl hairpins and pencil parts danced a tango in the overtones. His hand in repairing a century-old guqin accurately measured the tilt angle of the sound column, and her improvised nocturne always revealed a gap in the third movement of Moonlight after he added the piano part. When the broken strings of the charity concert were mixed into Chopin's improvisational variations, the misplaced chromatic scale under the spotlight finally broke the two perfectionists' defenses built with absolute pitch.

When the Czech spruce in 1947 met the gilt soundboard of Steinway, when the sandalwood beads overlapped with the crescent scar of the tiger's mouth to form a memory puzzle, all the deliberately misaligned glances proved the theorem: strings resonating at the same frequency will eventually vibrate the most irresistible harmony on the piano of time.
