When they first meet, no one can see this coming. She is a young, aggressive Beijing-based real estate agent from Hong Kong carrying an affair with a married man who also happens to be her boss. He is an honest but way too rigid policeman in his midlife crisis, who remains single to take care of his kid brother. A chance encounter in a karaoke lounge leads to an unlikely friendship. Several years have gone by before she realizes he is the one for her. He becomes tragically ill, and only when she comes to his bedside and starts whispering his name in his ear does he remember distinctly her voice - and her - again.
