Everyone says that Su Wanyi is blessed beyond measure to have won the affection of Gu Yanzhi, the son of the head of the state-run supply and marketing cooperative, despite being a self-employed shop owner.
On the eve of their engagement, Su Wanyi accidentally overhears what her fiancé really thinks.
“She runs a music and video shop. What’s the difference between her and those black-marketeers on the street? If she didn’t have that face and figure, why would I want her? I’d be embarrassed to bring her home as my wife.”
“Once we’re married, I’ll make her shut down the shop at once and go work in a factory like a respectable woman. Then she won’t be flaunting herself in public, acting so shamelessly.”
The man who once praised her singing to the skies now turns around and calls her wanton.
Heartbroken, Su Wanyi turns away and climbs a higher, more precarious branch.
Feng Sheng is a powerful figure newly assigned to the capital’s elite compound, with an iron will and a fierce reputation. Everyone fears him.
No one knows that every night, worn down and gasping under the weight of his assignments, he slips into that little music and video shop just to hear the voice that soothes all his restlessness.
He has been plotting this for a long time, waiting for the chance to keep both the song and the woman who sings it all to himself.
