Her big break into the entertainment industry arrived when a well-known music producer, Adrian paid a visit to Xin Mei's hometown, in search of musical inspiration. By chance, Adrian discovered Xin Mei's nearly perfect voice and decided to train her as a singer, being the vocalist of his latest composed song. Xin Mei's pursuit toward her dreams led her to Kuala Lumpur, having to sacrifice life in her home town and her playmate and best friend, Huang Wei Ming.

Rich girl Yuki also had naturally-gifted talent whose achievements in numerous singing competitions since she was a child inspired her to be a superstar. Her father owns a recording company and Yuki is one of the singers with the company. However, Yuki's talent did not impress music producer Joey, who thought Yuki was just a singing machine.
