Plot summary

A flourishing metropolis, the crowd bustling about, each one conjecturing a beautiful wish to wait for his or her fate. A beautiful story can take place anywhere, perhaps it's in the mall, perhaps it's in the cafe, or perhaps, it's in the subway.....


First meet

A beautiful blind DJ with a beautiful heart, Jingjing is taking the subway to the radio station and Yun Xiang, who is having problems at work, also happens to take this train home. The both of them have been in the same train several times, it's as if they have been played by destiny, never met each other. But on this day, the cold-blooded Yun Xiang actually witness someone snatching Jingjing's handbag, while supporting Jingjing, who had fallen, he becomes attracted by this refreshing blind girl unbound by conventions. He runs after the thief and gets Jingjing's handbag back to her, and also gives his hand-painted umbrella to Jingjing to be a temporary substitute for the blind stick, which had landed on the subway rails. Jingjing is very grateful, agreeing to meet again. Meet again, the hibernating seed watered by the spring dew, will cultivate into a bright, fresh flower. Will they meet again? It is unknown to Jingjing, it's also unknown to Yun Xiang, after all life is full of unknowns.


Past memories

When Jingjing was little, she lost her parents and eyesight due to a traffic accident. Since childhood she faces all aspects of life optimistically. But this kind girl also has to encounter injustice. In fact Jingjing had a chance to restore her sight, because Yun Xiang's mother intended to donate her corneas to Jingjing before she died. But young Yun Xiang would not let anyone touch his mother, and threatens to bang his head on the wall if they do. Jingjing couldn't let that happen, and gave up on this matter in the end. Since Yun Xiang was younger, he was under the mistaken notion that his father Lu Mingkai had an affair with his assistant Wang You and indirectly caused his mother's death, he hated his father, gave up the good life and grew up in an orphanage.


Reunion

The appearance of well-known DJ Tan Li Na. In order to accommodate Tan Li Na, Jingjing's program was moved to 10 o'clock at night. One cannot imagine how this decision will create difficulties to a blind person's way of life, but she accepts it. There was even more inconvenience for Jingjing when she arrived at the radio station. Her advertisement executive older sister Mingming is very worried about her, not consenting on Jingjing going to work alone. However, she is busy with work and cannot do several things at once. Jingjing's boss Cheng Gao volunteers to take Jingjing to and from the radio station. But the ever so strong Jingjing persists that she wants to take care of herself. Mingming cannot stop her, and actually saw through that Cheng Gao likes Jingjing. Mingming vigorously works at getting them together, but it's impossible for Jingjing to have any feelings for her caring and talented boss because she wants to wait for the guy who let her borrowed his umbrella. Yun Xiang's life appears to be more chaotic. At work he clashes with his boss because of differences in opinions and in life he is at a loss on how to face his father. His friends from the orphanage Xiao Chen and Xin Hua provide him with much encouragement and love. However, Yun Xiang is a person whose innermost feelings are sealed up, so no matter how hard his friends try, they cannot open him up. Fortunately, Yun Xiang is moved by Jingjing's evening program, allowing his chaotic moods to finally calm down. After all the twists and turns, Jingjing finally gets an opportunity to personally return the umbrella to Yun Xiang. At their second meeting, the feelings between them is more intense and the seed of love is rapidly growing.


Obstacle to love

When Yun Xiang takes Jingjing home, he meets a very familiar looking Mingming, unable to restrain himself in recalling past events. Not too long after, he discovers that the girl who gave up the chance to see again because of him is Jingjing. Yun Xiang regrets his past stubbornness. After taking this painful experience to heart, he calls the hotline number as "Xiao Lu" and under chance circumstances tells Jingjing of his regrets, and makes a sincere apology. Jingjing is greatly touched by this one phone call of apology. Jingjing's program is on fire, because everybody is searching for "Xiao Lu." Jingjing's heart is similarly on fire, because "Xiao Lu" only wants to be by Jingjing's side. Yun Xiang bravely tells Jingjing he loves her. Jingjing is moved by it and she tacitly consented. However, just when their relationship takes off, they are put to tough tests: Mingming objects to Jingjing being with Yun Xiang; because of jealousy towards Jingjing, Tan Li Na always launching attacks, and pretends to be "Xiao Lu" to hurt Jingjing; Xiao Chen, who loves Yun Xiang, wants to break them up; Mingkai is worried about his son's happiness, doing bad things but with good intentions, but this not only increase the misunderstanding between father and son, it also puts tremendous pressure on Jingjing. All these factors sadden Jingjing and she wants to leave Yun Xiang. However, the obstinate Yun Xiang is unwilling to give up. Yun Xiang works very hard to save his relationship.
