A young student desperately needs a red rose to win his lover's heart. But roses do not bloom, and his romantic quest seems impossible. When a nightingale discovers the student's plight, she makes a startling decision: to create the perfect rose through an act of ultimate sacrifice. Her song will become color, her blood will become petals, her life will become beauty. But at what cost? Love demands everything—and this nightingale will give precisely that.
