Our story begins with Aurora as a budding teenager and a pianist. She lost her mother at her birth, but has the enduring love of her well-known conductor father, Valerio. Bringing the same passion, commitment and devotion to his beloved daughter as he does to his music, Valerio marries Aurora’s governess, Irene, hoping to give his daughter a new family. As fate would have it, Aurora accidentally ventures into the estate next door and meets a mysterious neighbor, Sebastian. A few years older than her, he seems to be her soul mate — a sensitive boy, who dreams to be a writer one day. Feeling that deep connection, Aurora falls in love for the first time. But the magic of the moment is brutally interrupted when Valerio has a heart attack and dies, unaware that he made a grave mistake by trusting Irene with his last will, which was supposed to protect Aurora.
The girl’s resolve is truly tested when she realizes that Irene and her two selfish daughters have no intention of treating her like an equal.

The prospect of seeing Sebastian again is also cut short when Aurora finds out that he and his family left the estate for good. As the misery of her new life fully sinks in, Aurora clings to her music and the precious memories of meeting Sebastian. A copy of his beloved book, The Little Price, which he gave to her during their magical encounter, becomes her best companion and emotional anchor until…
