Beneath the autumn parasol trees at Pengcheng University, Xiao Bin, a poor student in the College of Liberal Arts, meets Zhu Qingwan, a wealthy young woman from the College of Music. Their pure love begins on campus, but is challenged by their vastly different backgrounds and fierce opposition from both sets of parents.
After graduation, one blow after another hits. Xiao Bin's company goes bankrupt, and he becomes a taxi driver. Zhu Qingwan heads to Hong Kong for further study and enters the music scene. Amid the storms of life, they have no choice but to break up, each going their own way.
Years pass. Xiao Bin keeps a low profile and picks up his pen, eventually making a comeback as a renowned author. Zhu Qingwan blossoms into a Chinese-language pop star.
When they meet again at the top, their old love and unresolved feelings come rushing back. As they struggle across class divides, misunderstandings, and a long separation, they keep asking themselves: Did you ever really love me? After enduring countless hardships and taking a roundabout path, they finally walk down the aisle together.
