Synopsis

Two unexpected visitors show up at Zhuan Yi's small and deteriorated house one night. The first person is Shao Zong, who arrived three hours before and three hours later, standing in front of the door with a small grin on her face is Nai Nai. Starting from that day on, Zhuan Yi's nest could reluctantly be called as a "family!" Speaking of which, why did Nai Nai and Shao Zong come to seek for shelter with Zhuan Yi? According to the disorderly and confusing narration of Nai Nai and Shao Zong, the reason is very obvious. It is still the same problem, Shao Zong's father is against his acting dream. As for Nai Nai, her heart is in protecting her grandson and she is willing to leave the air conditioned mansion and suffer the hardships with her grandson. At this moment, what Shao Zong needs the most is by no means a comfortable nest to live in but a strong supporting strength. The best example of this strength is of course Zhuan Yi because Zhuan Yi, like Shao Zong, is a 100% television fan!

Zhuan Yi and Shao Zong met for this first time two years ago at a tryout to be an actor. From then on, in any type of large or small tryout sessions, Zhuan Yi would always see Shao Zong and then they would both fail to be selected at the same time. At first, Zhuan Yi believes that Shao Zong is his bad luck charm, but as time passes, it's not hard to see that they are on the same boat and pity each other. From Zhuan Yi's story, Shao Zong finds out that Zhuan Yi is not the superficial type that just thinks about being a big star and being supported by lots of people. Like him, Zhuan Yi worships Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Andy Lau - these great actors like Gods. Zhuan Yi truly understands the charm of a great performer! Just like this, because they both have the same dream, same idol, they became good friends! After each defeat, they would comfort one another and try once again!

However, winter of this year, in the lives of these two good buddies, bursts in Jun Can, Ting Wei, Dong Jing - a bunch of righteous and loyal friends as well as two girls! Zhuan Yi met Tu Tu when he is a stall vendor. At that time, Zhuan Yi was helping Tu Tu flee the chasing of the police and they both spent the night out together. Under a romantic star-filled sky, Zhuan Yi spoke of his dream to become an actor. He even showed off his small bit of shallow acting to the curious Tu Tu: catching a flying dart in front of the camera and borrowing the lens of the camera to fake a kiss - the two of them had a great time and developed a fresh, sweet feeling that only belongs to "One" and "Two"…

They reached an agreement that on the soon to arrive date of June 22, the same day as Tu Tu's birthday, they would meet again in this same place to celebrate together! On June 22, from day till night, Zhuan Yi is waiting excitedly, but Tu Tu never showed up… And the girl that Shao Zong unexpectedly meets, happens to be the cold and ruthless, modeling assistant, Qing Qing. That day, Shao Zong is in Ting Wei's red tea shop and he just put on a costume that Dong Jing went through much trouble to get for him and Qing Qing spills the cup of tea in her hands on him! He never thought that this unhappy start would turn the two of them into good friends. Shao Zong tells Qing Qing the story about "the star of happiness" and brings her to the park to plant "day lilies."

Just when Shao Zong slowly starts to melt Qing Qing's cold posture, Qing Qing gets a rare opportunity at work and that is to hold the position of being the "young heavenly king", Jun Can's personal modeling assistant. Yet Qing Qing actually refuses this job that everyone dreams about having. The reason for Qing Qing's rejection of Jun Can is unclear, but Jun Can, who has been the held in the highest respect in people's eyes, is deeply attracted to Qing Qing's straightforward, indifferent attitude. Even though Jun Can has to think of everything in his power to gain Qing Qing's happiness, but faced with Jun Can, Qing Qing won't even show one tiny smile on her face. Until Jun Can tells Qing Qing about Uncle Ye, the person who saved his life, only then did Qing Qing start showing a bit of interest in Jun Can. In turns out that Jing Jing's father used to be a class leader in the art class of the television station. At that time, a fire broke out at the station and in order to rescue a child star, he died in the fire. And this child star happens to be "the young heavenly king", Jun Can!

Zhuan Yi never imagined, that when he sees Tu Tu again, it would be on that of a huge poster. On the poster, written in huge characters are the words "tomorrow's rising star - Lai Ya Yan!" Zhuan Yi stares at the poster and discovers that the distance between him and Tu Tu, even though it was just the distance between "One" and "Two", but now that distance has grown to be that of a giant star and that of a temporary actor! No matter how their environment tests them, Shao Zong, Zhuan Yi, and temporary actor, Dong Jing, would shuttle back and forth through all kinds of jobs and work diligently toward their beloved dream. Although at this moment, they are just very poor guys, but they know that the greatest wealth that they possess is their youth! But Ting Wei is different than them. Optimistic, full of sunshine and enthusiasm, Ting Wei holds his fort down at the red tea shop and uses the remainder of his life to run the shop! The orphaned Ting Wei suffers from leukemia and is estimated that he only has less than one year to live.

When Zi Ling, the fallen female star, wants to return to the entertainment circle and is determined to create a big wave of news, she is willing to not acknowledge her son, Shao Zong. Furthermore, using the popularity of the media, she fabricated the theme "Son Ting Wei suffers from leukemia" as a stepping stone to embark once again into the entertainment world! Shao Zong finally understands why his father opposes his dream of entering into the entertainment circle. It turns out that his father and famous star, Zi Ling, used to be madly in love with each other in the past. After giving birth to Shao Zong and being an unmarried mother, Zi Ling is unwilling to give up her brilliant acting career and left Shao Zong's father without any hesitation! Yet, the scandal of Zi Ling giving birth to a child before she is married destroyed her acting career. As for the love between Zi Ling and Shao Zong's father, that has also been destroyed…

Under the operation of the management company, Tu Tu, who becomes the giant star "Lai Ya Yan" and Jun Can, are being molded together to become a couple. Tu Tu and Jun Can's stage love is a show that they are acting out to the media! Therefore, under the obstruction of manager, Yang Jie, Tu Tu and Jun Can must choose between their love and their career… however, the decision doesn't just lie with them but lies in the hands of their manager, who has a say on the life and death of a star's future!

Ting Wei passes away but he leaves behind a strength that lets the people beside him to face their youth and dreams bravely! This group of youngsters, who come from different places all arrive at this brightly lite stage, for their radiant dream. Standing in front of them, they seem to be faced with a huge, steep mountain! They seem to be intertwined by destiny and it also seems that destiny is playing a treacherously trick on them. When they all step toward the boundary for their dream, laughing, crying… it seems like a flutter of "red dragonflies" floating… it is said that on top of that huge, steep mountain, there lives the world's most beautiful red dragonfly. Eventually they will climb up to the peak of this steep mountain and will see this red dragonfly that is so beautiful that will cause one to burst into tears. How beautiful is the red dragonfly? Only if you start to climb your first step, only if you witness it with your own eyes…
