In a small northern city, a middle-aged music teacher Wang Cailing (Jiang Wenli), who looks unattractive, possesses a natural operatic voice and is quite aloof. Unwilling to live an ordinary, mundane life like those around her, she is determined to establish roots in Beijing. Steelworker Zhou Yu becomes infatuated with Wang, who lends her voice to the radio, and he pursues her under the pretense of wanting to be her apprentice. This inadvertently leads Wang to fall in love with her cousin Huang Sibao (Li Guangjie), who dreams of attending an art school in Beijing but fails repeatedly; however, Huang only regards Wang as a confidante in his troubled spiritual world. Later, believing that this pure relationship has been tainted by Wang, Huang leaves for Shenzhen, and Zhou's renewed pursuit of Wang also comes to an end. When Wang feels she can no longer find like-minded individuals around her, Hu Laoshi (Jiao Gang), who has been infatuated with ballet since childhood and is seen as an outcast, enters her life. However, Hu's tragic decision to sever ties with worldly life deeply impacts Wang's pursuit of her dreams. In her sadness, she discovers that the mundane life she has long avoided has its beauty. At this point, Gao Beibei (Zhang Yao), who claims to have cancer and a limited time to live, approaches Wang, asking for her help to participate in a youth singing competition in Beijing. After some hesitation, Wang decides to help her fulfill her dream, but Gao's story turns out to be fabricated. As Wang reaches a crossroads in her life, she becomes friends with a neighbor (Dong Xuan), whom she had never paid attention to before. After ending her brief friendship with her, Wang reconciles with the mundane life in her own way.
