Elite lawyer Zhou Mingshu (pseudonym "Kui Yan") is trapped by the denial of her native family. She looks professional but suffers from low self-esteem inside; dessert shop owner Xiao Hechuan hides the academic weakness of dropping out of high school. Two "ordinary people" with scars met in the caramel-scented "Hechuan Baking" and began a journey of healing each other through desserts and words.
Mingshu encouraged Xiao Hechuan to break through his inferiority complex and pursue his dream of a French Le Cordon Bleu. Xiao Hechuan incorporated the "sunflower" image from her novel into the dessert, using warm affirmation to help Mingshu find her self-identity.
Faced with the obstruction of their mother's "class prejudice" and the "well-matched" blind date, they chose to walk side by side: Mingshu went from "dare not to refute" to firmly saying "my happiness is defined by myself", and Xiao Hechuan turned his inferiority into the power to help others. In the end, Xiao Hechuan proposed using 12 "character-exclusive desserts" from Ming Shu's novels.
In their love, no one saves the other, there is only the determination of "you accompany me to chase the stars of words, and I will accompany you to make caramel warm and warm". The dust of inferiority will eventually embrace the gentle starlight. In ordinary days, companionship and affirmation are the confidence to embrace happiness.
