Cheng Che, a sheltered young master who knows little of the world, is full of hopes for his first love at the age when he is first discovering romance. But he gives all his feelings to the wrong person. Seven years later, at a dental hospital, he unexpectedly runs into Xu Jiangyang, the scumbag ex's best friend from back then. As they spend time together, a love Xu Jiangyang has kept buried for seven years gradually comes to light.
Stage One: Reunion
Cheng Che resists Xu Jiangyang's concern and care. As they go about their daily lives and keep pushing and pulling at each other, the misunderstanding from years ago slowly comes to light. Cheng Che discovers that the WeChat contact named "Little Period," who accompanied him and helped him grow independent in a foreign country, was Xu Jiangyang all along.
Stage Two: Memories
As a boy, Cheng Che was outgoing and enthusiastic, but also spoiled and timid. He developed a crush on Cui Hao, an older student with an imposing presence. What he doesn't know is that Xu Jiangyang's eyes have always been on him. From the moment they collided head-on and Xu fell in love at first sight, to the many times he rescued Cheng Che from trouble, it was always Xu Jiangyang.
Stage Three: The Pain That Lingers
Only when they encounter the shady, hypocritical dental expert from Hong City again does the truth emerge about the traps Xu Jiangyang faced and the injustice he suffered. Why did he never confess his feelings or seek Cheng Che out? It turns out that he buried his love and endured in silence for years so that one day he could be with Cheng Che beyond any doubt.
Stage Four: Where Love Comes Home
Cheng Che is always slow to realize things. Just as he discovers he can no longer live without Xu Jiangyang, Xu Jiangyang holds a lavish engagement banquet with his mentor's daughter to free himself from Fang Zhuoqian's control. After uncovering the truth, Cheng Che uses a work opportunity to confront Fang Zhuoqian head-on. The once-spoiled young master has grown into a man who can stand on his own for love.
