Each of the 26 models, called "Angels of Dream" (梦想天使), was carrying a briefcase which containing a name of a song with a value (ranging from ¥0.01 to ¥100,000, about US$14,600), the higher value the song was, the easier the song for the player to sing. The song with the highest value was the "Ultimate Song of Dream" (终极梦想曲) chosen by the player.

During the game, the banker, called the "Manager of Dream" (梦想经理人), would offer an amount of money and a song chosen by him. The player then had to decide to accept the offer and sing the song, or to reject the offer and continue playing.

Since episode 3 (November 29, 2008), each briefcase had a value only and the "Manager of Dream" offers an amount of money only. Shen Tao, one of the hosts, was being the Manager from that episode until episode 12.

There were 4 sub-rounds and 14 cases in round 1. In each sub-round, the host would pick out some cases then the two players would choose one of the cases and answer a question alternately. The amount in the case would be awarded to the player who chose that case for each correct answer. If the player answered by mistake, it would not be awarded. The player with the largest amount over the 4 sub-rounds could enter the next round with whose amount. The case values were the same as the round 2 of episode 20 to 45 (two players).

Originally in round 2, 10 cases containing numbers 1 to 10 were shuffled, the host would open the first case to reveal the first number, and then the winner of round 1 had to guess, one by one from the second case, whether the number in the case was greater or smaller than the last number revealed. The amount of the player would increase to ¥100,000 for successive correct guesses up to the fifth case then ¥10,000 would be awarded for each correct guess. The maximum possible winning of the player overall was ¥150,000.

There were only one team of players (Taiwanese band Fahrenheit) in episode 51 (November 29, 2009) and their amount after round 1 had exceeded ¥100,000, so their amount would increase to ¥150,000 for successive correct guesses up to the fifth case in round 2 and their maximum possible winning overall was ¥180,000. They won ¥160,000 finally.

Round 2 was cancelled later. In the whole game, only the player with the largest amount could win the prize.
