In Yun Yao City, part of the Dongsheng Kingdom, Yun Mu, the Young Lord of Huanle City, was a youthful and handsome man with a deep passion for music. Every time he went on patrol, he was always accompanied by many dancers and musicians, drawing the adoration of the city's people. This time was no exception.

On the deck of a pleasure boat, a group of women sang and danced, while inside the cabin, the Young Lord in red robes sat admiring a cup of tea. His bodyguard mistook his silence for suspicion that the tea was poisoned, quickly drawing his sword in a defensive stance. Unexpectedly, Yun Mu was merely captivated by his own reflection in the cup, marveling at how there could be such beauty in the world.

His bodyguard couldn’t help but roll his eyes. However, Yun Mu’s attention then shifted to the sword’s reflection, where his image was even clearer, causing him to praise his appearance once more. At that moment, the sound of countless voices outside could be heard, urging the Young Lord to step out and take a look.

The bodyguard, fearing an assassin might be among the crowd, tried to persuade Yun Mu to stay inside, but Yun Mu paid no heed and confidently walked out. Upon hearing the praise of the people, Yun Mu’s heart was filled with satisfaction, and he swiftly joined the dancers, gracefully moving among them. In the midst of this festive atmosphere, an unexpected figure appeared on the rooftop — Su Ruofei. She held a drumstick and struck in Yun Mu’s direction.

The powerful beat pierced through the noise, striking directly at the hearts of all who heard it. Yun Mu was momentarily stunned but quickly moved by this sudden music. Smiling, he leaped up to the roof where Su Ruofei stood. Su Ruofei loudly declared her intention to lodge a complaint, but before she could finish, Yun Mu scooped her up by the waist, flying with her onto the boat.

Learning that Su Ruofei could also play other instruments, Yun Mu eagerly invited her into the cabin, pulling out a pipa and asking her to perform. Meanwhile, Yun Shang, Yun Mu's uncle and the Lord of Yun Yao City, arrived with a group of people to fetch Yun Mu. Seated on horseback, Yun Shang praised Yun Mu endlessly and expressed his own desire to someday travel the mountains and rivers on a pleasure boat.

Yun Shang congratulated Yun Mu on his accomplishments, but Yun Mu humbly remarked that he was merely a small pawn under his master’s command, and that his true passion lay in music. He specifically requested that his musicians be well taken care of, as they were his greatest source of joy during his travels. His uncle fondly agreed and even mentioned introducing Yun Mu to a famous musician, which greatly piqued Yun Mu's interest.

At Lüguang Music Hall, Su Ruofei’s friends were frantic with worry over her sudden disappearance. Some began to waver, believing that constantly being dragged into the disputes of the city lord's mansion was not a sustainable path. Meanwhile, Su Ruofei’s elder sister, Su Ruoshan, driven by concern for her sister's safety and a desire to defend their family’s honor, arrived at Lüguang Hall to investigate her sister’s whereabouts.

Upon learning that Su Ruofei had been taken to the city lord’s mansion, she immediately gathered her people to rescue her. Inside the city lord’s mansion, under Yun Mu's arrangements, Su Ruofei requested a bath. She mistakenly believed Yun Mu had fallen in love with her and, taking advantage of a moment of inattention, tried to escape. By sheer accident, she ended up near the bathhouse.

Seeing the flower petals scattered in the water, she assumed it was meant for a woman. Hearing footsteps, she quickly hid, only to discover that the person bathing was none other than Yun Mu. Attempting to sneak away, Su Ruofei was caught by Yun Mu, whose sharp senses detected her presence. Frightened, she almost stumbled, but Yun Mu caught her in his arms.

Rather than reprimanding her for her intrusion, Yun Mu teased her for trying to run away after seeing his body. Finally, Su Ruofei had the chance to explain her real purpose for coming. She had wanted to participate in a musician selection competition but had been denied the opportunity.

Her sister had tried to dissuade her from competing with Lüguang Music Hall, but Su Ruofei didn’t understand why her hall wasn’t allowed to compete, which led her to come and beat the drum to file her complaint. Yun Mu suggested that she become his personal musician, but Su Ruofei refused. She wanted to preserve her music hall but had no desire to become anyone’s personal musician.

Yun Mu agreed to visit Lüguang Music Hall with her, promising that if it truly had talent, they would be allowed to participate in the Huanle City competition. As Su Ruoshan arrived at the city lord’s mansion, she happened to see Su Ruofei coming out and finally felt relieved. She scolded Su Ruofei for causing trouble.

Su Ruoshan had also come to see Yun Mu, intending to participate in the Huanle City competition, but Yun Mu was still bathing, and neither of them managed to meet him, leaving disappointed. However, Yun Shang seemed reluctant to part with Su Ruoshan. Su Ruofei rushed back to Lüguang Hall to share the good news. Her friends were overjoyed and pledged to give their all in preparing for the upcoming selection.

At the same time, Yun Mu, with his subordinates, sped through the woods. His thoughts drifted back to a time when, as a child, he had been hunted down. While fleeing for his life, he encountered a girl. Yun Mu coughed up blood as the girl worriedly asked after him. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the sky, and Yun Mu was snapped out of his thoughts by the voice of his subordinate.

Su Ruoshan went to find Su Ruofei and, hearing that Yun Mu was coming to visit, was in disbelief. But Yun Mu did arrive, and Su Ruoshan hurriedly greeted him. However, Yun Mu remained stern and did not smile at her. Urged by Su Ruofei, Yun Mu finally sat down, assuming a formal posture, ready to listen to their performance.
