Back in the days when there was no television, people would visit lounges to watch singers perform. Gam Yin is a semi-retired singer who now manages talent and tries to set them up with more places to perform. Unfortunately, fate has brought her in conflict with Ling Fung, a well-known but arrogant singer in Shanghai. Ling Fung hails from a small village and has worked his way up to stardom. His childhood friend Chu Yuk-Lan has had a crush on him since they were young. These characters' lives intertwine when Ling Fung experiences a reverse of fortune and Yuk-Lan quickly achieves fame.
