Lin Xiaoman is an ordinary young woman working in a big city who unexpectedly gains the ability to talk to the objects around her. Her light-brown eyes are always full of earnest bewilderment, and her shoulder-length hair often slips over her shoulder when she lowers her head to think. Simple but no fool, she has a clever mind and a kind heart with an edge.
As her life fills with chatty, opinionated objects, her taciturn veterinarian neighbor, Gu Yanchen, enters her world. His dark eyes hold a gentle yet steady light. Though he keeps the world at arm’s length, he carries a warm memory within him: when he was a child and his family was poor, he fed half a piece of bread to a stray kitten one cold winter morning. The warmth of its paw brushing his palm became the light that carried him through the whole winter. He adopted the kitten, Nuan Dong, and has kept it ever since. It becomes a tender link between the two of them. Through the objects’ grumbling, the kitten’s companionship, and their thoughtful care for each other, they come to understand the kindness and wisdom in everyday life.
