Independent illustrator Su Qingyuan and top tycoon Gu Yanchen are brought together by an accident. Five years later, they reunite through work, and their adorable son Niannian’s “expert matchmaking” sets them on a journey to find family and fall in love.
Su Qingyuan raises Niannian on her own. Hoping to give him a better life, she takes on a project with the Gu Group, unaware that the project lead is none other than Niannian’s biological father, Gu Yanchen. By chance, four-and-a-half-year-old Niannian mistakes Gu Yanchen for “Superman Uncle” and boldly asks him to “be my dad,” stirring the heart of the usually cold CEO. As they spend more time together, Gu Yanchen realizes how uncannily Niannian resembles him. He investigates and confirms they are father and son, but Su Qingyuan rejects his sense of “doing the right thing” out of obligation. She refuses to let their child become a bargaining chip.
The warmth and mediation of Grandma Gu, Lin Weiwei’s interference, and clashes between the two families’ values make their relationship a bumpy one. Gu Yanchen goes from fumbling his way through fatherhood to defying the whole world to protect mother and son, gradually shedding his icy armor. Su Qingyuan, too, lowers her guard in response to his sincerity. In the end, they join hands to overcome the crisis and build a family with their loved ones’ blessing, healing the wounds left by their childhood homes with love and companionship, and showing what “family” truly means. Niannian’s cleverness, the CEO’s transformation, and the collision between romance and reality all make this heartwarming love story across class lines especially touching.
