Fu Suian is the youngest director at a major state-owned factory. He is meticulous and rigid, keeps women at a distance, and is notoriously picky about food. Later, a bowl of wontons wins over his finicky palate and melts his frozen heart. He wants to meet the proprietress he's heard so much about, and accidentally ends up rescuing Su Nian when she's surrounded by thugs. He assumes she's some middle-aged cook, only to see her take on street thugs with an iron ladle. Is this actually a young woman? It isn't until her face appears in his dreams that Fu Suian realizes she's found a place in his heart before he even noticed. But his secretary frowns and says, “Director Fu, she's been divorced.” Fu Suian: “Divorced? What kind of person was her former husband?” “Still unclear, but he's already dead.” “Then that's perfect. Saves me the trouble of dealing with him myself.”
