The story centers on Mo Sanmei (played by Zhu Yilong), a rough-around-the-edges ex-convict working in his family’s funeral business. His life takes a sharp turn when he encounters Wu Xiaowen (Yang Enyou), a young girl who is left orphaned after her grandmother passes away. Xiaowen, refusing to believe her grandmother is gone, follows Sanmei, mistakenly believing he "hid" her grandmother in a box. This unlikely pairing forms the emotional core of the movie, as Sanmei transitions from a reluctant guardian to a father figure who finds new purpose in "lighting up the stars"—a metaphor for the funeral director's role in honoring the departed.
