Jealous of the capable village beauty heroine, she clings obsessively to the future big shot male lead, who is also an educated youth. The two protagonists scheme to marry her off to a shiftless wastrel from the village. Pu Miaomiao, a computer science researcher who has unfortunately transmigrated into the role of the vicious female antagonist, declares: There is no way she is accepting this marriage! As the wave of educated youths returning to the cities sweeps over the country, Pu Miaomiao asks for a divorce, citing a job in the city as her reason. To her surprise, her wastrel husband actually agrees. - At their parting, the man walks behind her in silence, his eyes red as he carries bags and bundles. After the train pulls away, the man suddenly slips a handkerchief into Pu Miaomiao's hand. Inside is all the money he has saved, twenty ten-yuan bills. Penniless, Pu Miaomiao acts on impulse and calls out to him, "Once I've settled in, I'll come find you!" To pay him back. The man misunderstands her, grins broadly, and runs after the train for several miles. Half a year later, after waiting and waiting in vain for his ex-wife to return to the village, the man decides to go to the city and see for himself! - After returning to the city, Pu Miaomiao is busy from dawn till dusk. She has to reclaim the house her parents left her from her aunt, and drive out the cousin who tricked her into going to the countryside and took her job years ago. With a house and a job at last, Pu Miaomiao is thoroughly pleased with herself and decides to treat herself at the state-run restaurant. Once inside, Pu Miaomiao keeps feeling that someone is sneaking glances at her from a corner. Whenever she turns around, the person vanishes at once. After that, whenever Pu Miaomiao visits the state-run restaurant, the man whom the manager calls a national treasure of a chef personally cooks for her, no matter how busy he is. One day, with her palate spoiled by all the good food, Pu Miaomiao asks on a whim: Manager, can I meet your chef? Song Lianji: What do I do? What do I do? Miaomiao wants to see me. I'm in huge trouble! Miaomiao clearly told him to stay put in the village and wait for her telegram. But he missed her too much, so he secretly got into college and came to the city.
