On a freezing winter street, troupe leader Shen Yanning took in a dying beggar boy, named him Yu Yu, and cherished him above all else.
He was an orphan of the Tianyin Pavilion, with a clear, melodious opera voice that made him famous throughout the capital. Shen was fiercely protective: anyone who dared lay a hand on his beloved would be ruined.
From a beggar on a freezing street to the capital’s finest young opera star, from despised by all to adored by everyone…
Shen Yanning brought him home, protected him as he grew, and loved him to the very core.
Yu Yu sang every tale under heaven, but he gave his heart to only one person.
He would protect him from the whole world, and sing only for him.
“Boss, let me protect you from now on.”
“Good. Stay by my side for the rest of your life.”
