An unexpected upheaval forces Yu Yan to confront the dilemma between pursuing her dreams and protecting her family. Through the crucible of growing pains, she begins to carve her own path while seeking a melody she can share with those she loves.

A decade ago, a medical student and a steelworker become pen-friends when they chance upon the same copy of Leo Tolstoy's "Resurrection".

A decade later, the young graduate student has become a renowned doctor, and has married his sweetheart. The steelworker returns to the city, bringing with him his handicapped girlfriend. Meanwhile, the police officer can't shake off the unsolved mystery of the murder cases. The last ten years have brought with them great change, each of the characters falling deeper into webs of vice and desire. They must choose the path to salvation, or the road to hell.
