One fateful night in 1937, amidst the bombings of Shanghai, Tung, a young soldier, and Shu find solace under the bridge. Though unable to see each other clearly, the young couple experience an immediate attraction towards each other and plan to meet again when the war is over.

Ten years have passed. Tung is an aspring songwriter, while Shu fends for herself as a showgirl in a nightclub. Enter Stool, a young girl in search of her relatives, whose endeavors prove fruitless until she crosses paths with Shu, who takes Stool into her own home. The two soon form a close, sisterly relationship.

By a twist of fate, Tung settles in the same building above the two women. Stool finds herself falling for Tung. Meanwhile, Shu and Tung are drawn to each other, unaware that they have met before.
