Yun Xiaoman, a 23-year-old convenience store clerk, is a "transparent person" - she suffers from mild social anxiety due to family discord. She is good at composing and arranging music, but she is afraid to stand on the stage. The only bright color in her world is the idol singer Zhou Qingan. Whenever his singing came from the headphones, those lyrics about loneliness and courage could always hit her heart accurately, shining like a beam of light into her gray life.
29-Year-old Zhou Qingan is experiencing a career slump. Creative bottlenecks and negative comments on the Internet have made him fall into self-doubt. One late night, he met Xiao Man on the street holding a support sign but did not dare to come forward. The notebook she left behind when she ran away in panic allowed him to see the meaning of his singing for the first time - in those corners submerged by glow sticks, it turned out that there were really people living braver lives because of him.
A reunion in a heavy rain caused two parallel lines to unexpectedly intersect. Xiaoman taught Qingan to live in an "ordinary" way: eating oden, spending afternoons in second-hand bookstores, and naming stray cats; while Qingan encouraged her to stand on the open mic stage and sing the words written in her notebook to the world.
When Qing'an decided to tear up the false persona and face the controversy head-on, Xiaoman used all his savings to buy an LED screen in the square to play handwritten letters of encouragement from fans on a loop; and on the day when Xiaoman and Qingan publicly sang their own work for the first time, the two looked at each other affectionately. Silently his eyes turned red.
Concept: Idols and fans are just the moss and starlight in each other's lives - one silently supplies oxygen in a humid place, and the other stubbornly points the way in the dark night. "
