The two are drawn together by passion, and – swept away with emotion – impulsively decide to marry.

Soon after, Chen Jia Xin discovers she is pregnant, and the newlyweds start to dream of nuptial bliss with their offspring.

But there are complications…and when it turns out they are not set to be parents after all, the heartache turns out to be too much for both Chen Jia Xin and Wang Xi Yi to bear.
