Sun Xiaofeng was an orphan adopted by the Sun couple. For 18 years she had lived in the village.

One day a composer Feng Zhenhua arrived from the city. He was collecting folksongs in the countryside and was deeply impressed by Sun's singing. He was determined to make Sun a famous singer. However, rumours began to spread as they gathered every day. Some villagers even threatened to set ablaze the inn where Feng was staying. Feng had no choice but promised the innkeeper to leave the next morning. Meanwhile, Sun's father scolded her with great anger. When Feng got on the train the next morning, he was surprised to find that Sun had sneaked in.

After six months' training, Sun won a singing contest and became a popular singer. Feng asked her to return home and share the glory with her parents, but Sun said she was willing to engage with him. Feng was overwhelmed with joy.

Music company manager Guo Ziyun signed a contract with Sun, saying that he would make her a popular singer, but in fact he had secret desires for her. The relationship between Feng and Sun became sour as Feng was angry to see that Guo and Sun dated frequently. One day Sun forgot to cancel her recording appointment with Feng before going out with Guo. When at home that night, Feng and Sun quarrelled fiercely. Sun finally threw off the engagement ring and left.

Sun then became a mistress of Guo. Soon Guo went into bankruptcy and asked Sun to entertain his creditor Cui Yinting, in exchange for repayment of his loans. While Cui agreed on the one hand, he continued with his lawsuit against Guo on the other. At the same time, Guo's wife and concubines went to Sun's house and grabbed all the valuables. They beat her up badly before leaving.

Sun had no choice but became Cui's mistress. One night Cui brought her to a nightclub, and she was embarrassed to see Feng, who had then become a pianist. The following day she went to the nightclub again, and asked Feng to play the song with which she won the singing contest. Seeing that Sun was drunk, he took her home afterwards. Offended by Feng's courtesy, Cui tried to fight with him but was pushed to the ground. He then made Feng lose his job at the nightclub and kept Sun under house arrest. Soon Sun caught tuberculosis and was abandoned in a villa.

When Sun was moving into the villa she heard someone playing the old song in a room. As she rushed to the room there was nobody. It was actually Feng who was a good friend of Old Song, who let him practise in the villa. Feng gave Old Song an old watch before leaving. Sun was convinced that it was Feng after seeing the watch. But it was too late.

The following spring Feng returned to see Old Song in the villa. Only until then did he know that the mistress was Sun. Both Sun and Feng could hardly hold back their tears when they saw each other again.
