When Song Qingmai, a kindergarten teacher who has no intention of marrying, blurts out "I’m willing to get married" under the hopeful gaze of her eighty-four-year-old grandmother, she has no idea that fate has been laying the groundwork all along. Her blind date, Zhao Yian, is a calm and composed criminal investigator who was once the quiet boy who helped her find a missing puzzle piece when they were children.
From an awkward reunion to growing close and choosing each other, two very different souls gradually draw nearer with every encounter. He overcomes his fear to go with her to a horror movie theater, and she joins him on a spontaneous honeymoon trip. Along their journey west, the steaming bowls of spicy soup, the sunset on the ancient city walls, and the fiery hot pot of the mountain city all bear witness to love taking root and blossoming amid the everyday details of life.
This is no fairy tale, but a reconciliation between two adults as they navigate compromise and conviction, ideals and reality. When Song Qingmai lets go of her stubborn posturing and Zhao Yian reveals the tenderness beneath his serious exterior, they discover that true love is not about being a perfect match, but about being willing to become better people for each other.
The road from "I" to "we" may be winding, but home is waiting at the end.
