Xia You is a successful finance professional with a seemingly perfect life. Beneath this glittering facade, however, lies a dark secret: she has an abusive partner who subjects her to severe physical and psychological violence. Desperate to see her favourite star Faye Wong in concert, Xia’s search for scalped tickets leads her to a fateful encounter with Xu Zitai, a terminally ill man. Their chemistry is immediate, and their first sexual encounter in a dark alley is unforgettable. When Xia later meets Xu Zitai by chance during a business trip in the city, where he now runs a small noodle shop, she may never leave him again.
