After Chen Qing (Hong Kong superstar Tony Leung Ka Fai) sees Zhou Yu (Gong Li) on the dance floor, he hands her a poem and then disappears. Zhou Yu finds his home--a house by a river filled with books--and the two become lovers. His poems inspire their passion, and their passion inspires his poems. But on the train that Zhou Yu takes to see the poet, she meets a veterinarian. This man is less adoring than the romantic poet. Zhou Yu dislikes the vet's practicality, but is attracted to the stability he can provide. As she rides the train between these two men, Zhou Yu slowly becomes consumed by her relationships.
