Xu Nuo and Yan Xi are an enviable couple. As the lead singer of the well-known ‘Gardenia Band’ on campus, Xu works hard with his fellow bandmates in hopes of becoming a professional musician. And Yan Xi and three of her friends look to fulfill their dreams of becoming dancers. However, when each of their respective dreams are close, they end up finding numerous obstacles putting their relationship to the test. When Yan is on the edge of collapsing, Xu becomes her support. In order to reignite Yan’s hope, Xu and his bandmates decide to prepare an unexpected surprise for her.
