Introverted illustrator Tang Ning has a crush on Li Dongcheng, the man who gave her her big break. She willingly plays his girlfriend whenever he needs to deal with his parents. She doesn't have to chat with anyone. A sweet smile is enough to get her through it.
She keeps up the act for three years.
Li Dongcheng promises to spend Tang Ning's birthday with her, but falls down the stairs. She hears he was in a hurry to see his first love and missed a step.
After learning the whole story, Tang Ning looks at Li Dongcheng, who wears a cool expression and doesn't recognize her, and unilaterally announces that their relationship is over: Bye-bye, then!

After losing his memory, Li Dongcheng loses interest in the family business.
He heads to the remote little city of Shiyu and volunteers to work as a mobile movie projectionist.
By chance, Tang Ning is there sketching, and Li Dongcheng's van nearly hits her.
Li Dongcheng: “I'll take you to the hospital.”
Tang Ning smiles sweetly, but doesn't mince words: “No need. Pay me for my lost work and emotional distress.” She names an outrageously high sum.
Li Dongcheng: “All right, I'll pay you.”

Not long after
Li Dongcheng runs into Tang Ning at every movie screening.
He starts to envy, resent, and even hate every man who appears in her sketches.
From an eighty-year-old grandpa to an eight-month-old baby.
Li Dongcheng stops her. “Why don't you draw me?”
Tang Ning still smiles sweetly. “You're so ordinary-looking. What's there to draw?”

While rescuing the landlady's sheep, Li Dongcheng takes a nasty fall and regains his memories.
When he finds Tang Ning, she's on the phone discussing something with her editor, who is chasing her for a draft.
Li Dongcheng takes her hand. “Baby, let me explain.”
“I'm busy!” Tang Ning pulls her hand away and points to her new illustrations. “If you don't have anything else to do, help me choose which one would make the best cover!”
Li Dongcheng looks down and sees that every animal in the illustrations is modeled on the same person's face!
And that person is none other than him.
