Laan (Charmaine Sheh) is Ling Fung’s childhood friend who had a crush on him ever since. She makes her way out of the village side to find him, but there is something with her voice. When they first met, Laan was from mainland China who seemed woefully uneducated and naive about everything. Laan started off as Ling Fung’s student, and she was shy at first. They would develop a romance relationship that hits on and off, with Ling Fung’s singing career in the middle. Eventually Ling Fung would experience a reverse of fortune. Ling Fung would end up selling sugar cane for a living, while Laan became the popular popstar. Someone informs the police with indications that Fung is a swindler of love and money. The chief investigator chases this case until the death and because of this, Fung can no longer continue working in the musical world.
