Yue'er is waiting for summer to end. In the fall, she and her mom are leaving the quaint mountain town they call home and moving to an apartment in the city. There, Yue'er can attend theater classes and become the famous actress she longs to be.

But her plans change when she discovers an injured crow and nurses it back to health. The bird turns out to be Princess Aya, daughter of the crow god.
