The narrative follows Emily Chu, a high-achieving individual born in New Zealand to Chinese parents, who has been brought up with the belief that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, her ambitions clash with her traditional Hong Kong-born parents’ expectations for her to pursue a medical career like her elder sisters. Her life seems to be on a perfect track until she unexpectedly falls for James, a European New Zealander. This romance threatens to disrupt her family dynamics, as her father would disown her if he discovered the relationship. As Emily grapples with the realization that she is risking her family’s approval for love, James finds himself deeply in love with her as well. They are left with no choice but to keep their relationship under wraps. While happy endings are rare and challenging, they are not impossible. For Emily to achieve hers, she must demonstrate to both James and her family that she understands the true, selfless nature of love.
