Starring Zhang Zhang & Chen Bai Chuan in lead roles, the show portrays a beautiful romance that is redefines healing and redemption.

As he begins to pursue Xing Yao eagerly, he comes to the happy realization that Xing Yao is his long lost childhood friend.

Through music and companionship, Xing Yao slowly opens his heart, while Zhou finds renewed purpose in helping him heal.
