Synopsis

Lin Wei Zhen was a former teen singing sensation, but found herself upstaged by Zhou Shu Yu and his band during a New Year's performance in 2006 because she arrived late to the show. Since then her fame and career has diminished. She now finds herself going from amateur auditions to auditions trying to break back into the music industry. Zhou Shu Yu has since become one of the most successful and sought after music producers and songwriters in Asia. His longtime girlfriend Yang Jia Xin is also a popular singer and songwriters, but when Jia Xin falls into a creative slump she steals a song written by Wei Zhen's late father and passes it off as her own. Shu Yu finds out about Jia Xin plagiarizing Wei Zhen's song and sides with Wei Zhen. Unhappy that Shu Yu does not support her in her success with the new song she and Shu Yu's former bandmate and now manager Xu Da Li, both turn against Shu Yu causing him to lose everything he has worked so hard for. With only Wei Zhen by his side, Shu Yu helps her become the A-Lister she so highly sought after to become.[2] [3]
