When she was nineteen years old, newcomer Xu Wenxia fell in love with thirty-year-old top class Rong Wangshu.
The film took six months to shoot. They were masters and apprentices on-screen, and teachers and friends off-screen. Xu Wenxia didn't know whether he was too involved in the drama, or whether he had already fallen in love with someone outside the drama; he didn't know what those inseparable approaches, restraints and temptations meant to Rong Wangshu.
Later, "Long Night Crossing" became a hit, and Xu Wenxia rose from a newcomer to the top, but Rong Wangshu quit the entertainment industry at the height of his career and disappeared ever since.
Ten years later, Xu Wenxia began to look for Rong Wangshu.
Why did a person who was once so famous disappear completely? What was hidden in those alienations and obstructions that he misunderstood back then?
As the past was peeled back layer by layer, Xu Wenxia finally saw the love he had never seen ten years ago, and also saw all the cruel truth about Rong Wangshu and the entertainment industry hidden behind the spotlight.
