A sweet, quiet, and well-behaved young girl comes to stay with the Zhou family. She's so lovely that everyone adores her at first sight.
But the old family home is too far from school, and the old master can't bear to see her make the long journey back and forth. He specially arranges for Lu Shuyi to stay with his youngest son for a while.
Zhou Jinye, the second young master of the Zhou family, has beguiling eyes, a sculpted physique, and an unblemished face that draws countless girls to him.
But he's devoted to celibacy and hates spending time with young girls.
So when the old master gives him the order, Zhou Jinye is overwhelmed with dread.
Everyone thinks he won't last three days.
Who would have thought Zhou Jinye would switch straight into dad mode?
He buys hand warmers in winter and little fans in summer, afraid she'll get too hot or cold.
Even when Lu Shuyi takes herbal medicine, Zhou Jinye peels a piece of candy and places it in front of her.
His friends tease him. "Ye, you're so good to Shuyi. Don't tell me you've fallen for her?"
Zhou Jinye gives them a couple of punches and laughs teasingly. "What are you talking about? She calls me Uncle. How could I think of her that way?"
That day, Lu Shuyi happens to overhear them. She quietly changes her college application to a school far away.
One goes north, the other south. They don't even get in touch once every six months.

By the time she graduates, Lu Shuyi has returned to her hometown at her mother's request. After all these years, she's grown into a graceful young woman, even more lovely than before.
Zhou Jinye, once carefree and unruly, has also made a name for himself in the gaming industry. Dressed in a suit, he appears even more refined and composed in interviews.
Whenever Lu Shuyi sees him, she respectfully calls him, "Uncle."
One day, Lu Shuyi is having a pleasant conversation with someone at a matchmaking event.
Zhou Jinye arrives in a crisp suit, radiating fury, and takes Lu Shuyi away with an overbearing, no-nonsense air.
In a cramped corner, Zhou Jinye's gaze burns into her.
After a long silence, he says, "Lu Shuyi, if you want to get married, you can consider me."
