When Chopin’s raindrops fall over the Huangpu River, a German girl’s piano playing steals away the long-lost sleep of a Chinese tycoon.
He calls her his sleeping pill. She says, “In Germany, we don’t say ‘I love you.’ We say, ‘I’ll be by your side.’”
Sofia, a gifted piano student at Berlin University of the Arts, falls on hard times and becomes the personal translator of Lu Chenzhou, heir to a wealthy family. Cold, sleepless, and trusting no one, he closes his eyes for the first time in three years the moment she plays Chopin’s “Raindrop Prelude.”
From a contract that trades her piano playing for a visa to risking their lives for each other across Europe and Asia, he tells her: “You are my light, and the place I return to.”
In a nutshell: German piano prodigy × Chinese tycoon who can’t sleep, healing each other, one-on-one romance, happy ending
