[Two Imperfect People Searching for the Missing Piece]
After her father died in an accident, she decided to take the compensation money and leave the place everyone looked down on, bringing her mother and older sister with her.
When she changed her former name, Zeng Nianyi, which meant "Zeng Wish-for-a-Boy," to Zeng Xiaoxiao, she thought a completely new version of herself would emerge.
But years of being overlooked and longing to be favored had turned her into someone sensitive who habitually tried to please others, often lying in the process.
To remind Zeng Xiaoxiao of this, fate gave her ears that turned red whenever she lied, even as she made a wish while lying on her fourteenth birthday.

Because he couldn't taste sweetness, Tang Yan had spent so long suppressing his emotions that he had developed a sense of not being worthy. He was always pessimistic about love.
By chance, he tried a dessert made by Zeng Xiaoxiao. After discovering the faint, sweet temptation within it, he decided to take over the barely surviving restaurant.
And so Tang Yan, who kept everyone at a distance, and Zeng Xiaoxiao, who was timid and loved to lie, stepped into each other's worlds.

A misunderstanding revealed Zeng Xiaoxiao's secret: her ears turned red when she lied. From then on, a splash of red entered Tang Yan's life.
Zeng Xiaoxiao's unexpected arrival brought a ray of sunshine into his days.
From being lured by sweetness to basking in sunlight, the change began to frighten Tang Yan.
Having been seen through by someone else, Zeng Xiaoxiao went from running away to accepting her true self, gradually stepping into a new life.
That special bond also brought them closer and closer...
