editXue Hua, Lang Hua, Huo Hua and Yan Hua are four orphans who grew up together at the Hua Xin Orphan Center. Each girl possessed outstanding musical talent and the sisters shared a tight bond. However, when Xue Hua was 15, she was found by her aunt who took her to France. Huo Hua is also adopted by a family. From then on, Lang Hua and Yan Hua promised each other to never be separated.
Sixteen years later, Huo Hua (now called Ye Fan), heads to France to search for Xue Hua. There, she falls in love with Qi Fei, a handsome and talented cello player. However, Huo Hua later finds out that Xue Hua was suspected to be dead and the prime suspect was none other than her boyfriend Qi Yuan, also the brother of Qi Fei. She thus tries to find out the truth about Xue Hua and began to seek revenge.
Meanwhile, Lang Hua (now called Bai Hai Hua) becomes a special nurse at the Geng's family special nursing center. There, she meets Geng Ke Yi and his son, Geng Ruo Chen. While helping take care of old Mr Geng, Lang Hua also helps father and son to mend their estranged relationship. In the process, she falls in love with Ruo Chen.
