In the heart of Linghua Music Academy, where every note holds a story, two souls meet - one too loud with ghosts, the other too quiet with care. Xiao Zhan, a gentle music instructor with scars of his own, believes that every melody carries a memory worth forgiving. Wang Yibo, a prodigy haunted by a tragic past, hides behind flawless technique and fragile silence. When their worlds collide in a quiet rehearsal room, music becomes their language - each chord an unspoken truth, each silence a confession neither dares to voice. From rainy nights and coffee-stained scores to long-distance letters and the ache of waiting, they learn that healing doesn't come from forgetting the pain - but from finding someone who listens through it. Tender, introspective, and full of hope, Echoes Beneath the Silence is a slow-burn story of love reborn through music - a reminder that sometimes, the softest notes linger the longest.

"That's... a nice way to put it." Two Hearts......One Story This is my first attempt, hope you will like it. ©
