Plot

Lin Zhi Xiao (Yang Zi) is a gifted young cellist about to graduate from university. She works hard to overcome her flightiness from her youth, and is hoping to make a career in playing cello. However, when her father is diagnosed with cancer, she stops everything and spends time at the hospital caring for him. Gu Wei is his surgical doctor. He is very solemn and almost cold, although glimpses of his warm heart can be seen from time to time. As Zhi Xiao's father progresses through treatment, she and Dr. Gu become close—she helps him learn how to enjoy life, and he helps her focus on what she truly wants in life.
