Twenty-eight-year-old Zheng Wanye, a native of Chengdu, graduated with an ordinary second degree, ordinary IT operation and maintenance, does an ordinary job, and lives an ordinary life. Until one day, he received an offer from Tokyo.
Not knowing Japanese, having no overseas background, and having never even been abroad - he flew to Tokyo recklessly with two packs of hot pot base ingredients, a five-year-old backpack, and a desire to "have a try."
In a workplace where he didn't understand the language, he was the newcomer who was scolded the most by his team leader; in a nine-square-meter share house, his roommates were a cold German data scientist and an enthusiastic Vietnamese designer; in a late-night izakaya, he met his Japanese colleague Sakura Sato, who was overwhelmed by family expectations.
Starting from a report that was returned and rewritten eleven times, starting from a hot pot meal that made his German roommate cry, starting from an agreement to "say no next time" - Zheng Wanye gradually established his foothold in the city of Tokyo.
On this road, he met twelve girls from different countries. They are not "targets", but mirrors - every encounter is a collision of cultures, and every collision allows him to see more clearly: who he is, what he wants, and who he wants to be.
