Synopsis
Thach Thao, portrayed by Maya, possesses not only a captivating voice but also has a beauty that enchants all who hear her sing. Her journey began with tragedy as she lost her parents early in life. Seeking solace, she found guidance in her talented singer cousin, Ellie (Trizzie Phuong Trinh). Thao's life takes a dramatic turn when she captivates music producer Son (Quoc Cuong) with her first performance. This leads to an offer from Son and his partner, Yvonne (Mai Thu Huyen), to collaborate on a music video titled "A Fragile Flower." Under the mentorship of renowned singer Le Khanh (Nhat Ha), Thao hones her skills and explodes onto the scene with the song's release. Fame brings her admirers, each with different expressions of love: Son develops feelings for Thao, straining his marriage to the powerful Yvonne, causing turmoil for Thao; Dang
(Duc Tien), who directed the video and helped Thao rise to stardom, sees her as a muse, offering unwavering protection; Bao Hoang (Anh Dung), a billionaire, is captivated by Thao's voice and pursues her relentlessly; and Ngoc (Baggio Saetti), a musician, stands by Thao's side, offering her unconditional love and support.
