Summary

Summarize

Perspective

Wang Bohan, a producer of E Shine Records, and his subordinate An Yiqi try to track down the copyright owner of a song. Wang Bohan knows that the composer, K, died of leukemia three years ago, and has heard that the lyricist Cream has also passed away. After learning that K gave some of his belongings to a photographer, Cindy, An Yiqi finds K's diary in Cindy's studio and learns the whole story.

K's father had leukemia, and his mother passed away because she could not bear the pressure of nursing him. When K was 16, his father killed three people in a car accident. The heavy sense of guilt and the huge pay-out made the family struggle. His father's condition worsened and he died. At the same time, K found out that he also had leukemia. Cream's parents and sister are the victims of K's father's car accident. She tried to get close to K to exact revenge, but discovered that K also lost his parents, like her. The two high school students gradually came to understand each other's grief, saw each other as their closest friend, and lived together like a family.

After graduating from college, K joined a record company and started composing music, with Cream as lyricist. Their work was appreciated by singer Bonie. Although K liked Cream, he knew that he would not live long due to his leukemia diagnosis, so he decided to hide his illness and try his best to play the role of a family member. He also introduced Cream to his dentist Yang Youxian, whose relationship with girlfriend Cindy was at a low point. K begged Cindy to let Yang Youxian go in exchange for being the model for her next creation. Cream and Yang Youxian fell in love and walked on the red carpet. Soon after, K passed away. Cream disappeared after holding his funeral.

Wang Bohan and Ady An resolve the copyright issue and learn the other half of the story.

While tracing the copyright, Wang Bohan discovers that An Yiqi was raising a son with congenital heart disease on her own. She devotes all her energy to taking care of the child, but in the end she still loses him. Bohan feels sorry for Yiqi; K and Cream's sacrifice for each other makes Bohan realize that love should not have to wait.
