Two talented, passionate men (Shu Yun who's a male ballet dancer and Tong Yang who's a Beijing opera performer) meet as rivals and inspire each other. It's such a wonderful story about passion, love and loss, it truly proves that there's nothing better than having the right people by your side.
Edit: I need to re-read this.
