Synopsis
editQi Wei Yi (Vic Zhou), an ambitious but lonely businessman whose only moment of happiness took place 13 years ago with a mute girl, "Zhao Shen Shen" (Park Eun-hye). When he was 15, he won a swimming competition and broke his leg, resulting in the alias "Plastered Leg". Zhao Shen Shen ditched school one day with her next-door neighbor, Zuo Jun, and got into a bus accident. She has been mute ever since. One day, on her way to the hospital, Shen Shen's mom gets hit by a car and does not survive. Wei Yi and Shen Shen both feel lonely so they send and receive messages at an abandoned bomb shelter. After a while, they meet each other and start communicating. Wei Yi does not know about Shen Shen's accident which caused her to be mute; he just thinks that Shen Shen does not like to speak. After a week of happiness, Wei Yi finds out that he has to go to England to study and transfer hospitals. A doctor helps Wei Yi see Shen Shen one more time, and he hurriedly writes down his phone number for Shen Shen.
Fast forward to 2006; Wei Yi is the CEO of his father's company while Shen Shen is still mute. They meet each other again without knowing each other's identities and slowly develop a friendship between them. Throughout many difficulties Wei Yi and Shen Shen slowly realise each other's identities; however Wei Yi finds out realises that he has cancer and has three months to live.
