Smile to Life: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Xu Duo Cheng is a young girl full of joy and life. No one knows that there is a shadow behind her smile: she actually suffers from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS), which means that she does not have long to live and in the end she will be slowly but surely paralyzed. Because of this, Duo Cheng is doing his best to fully enjoy the rest of his days. But things get more complicated when she meets a handsome young musician, Jiang Nan, who falls in love with her. Will she surrender to her heart or leave it to protect it from pain? Adapted from the novel of the same name by Jiu Sui He.
