A mature older woman knows how to tame a dog, while a younger college boy falls for her step by step.
Athlete, executive, folk-custom innkeeper. Intense push and pull, a slow pace with few deliberate ups and downs, and no forced twists.
Su Zhiwan is divorced and raising a child on her own, and runs an inn. Jiang Yizhou is a college student at her alma mater. They meet when he stays at the Evening Pomelo Inn for an exam. The Su family strongly disapproves, so the two date in secret. After Jiang graduates, Su arranges an internship for him at a school run by a friend. He later starts his own business, and by the end of the third year, it is thriving. They renovate and expand, but then disaster strikes, leaving him despondent. Su takes him back to the inn and puts him on the night shift. They spend their days raising a dog, caring for the child, fishing, and sleeping. As they try to recover, they realize their differences are too great and they are not suited to living together. They love each other, but in the end, they let go. A little heartbreak, with a tragic ending.
