Zheng Wen becomes enamored of Mao Zhen, an amicable, outgoing, and mystic young woman.

Zheng Wu accidentally drowns in a lake and dies. Anguished from this loss, Zhengwen enters university and catches up with Mao Zhen. During the four years, Zheng Wen meets the romantic and talented Lao Chai, the passionate Tan Lili who embraces love and life, as well as Cheng Qing, a hair salon owner.
