He Jingsheng lifts her onto the crossbar of his bicycle. "Little Auntie, let's go home." - Back then, everyone had gathered from all over the country to support development. The He family came from the capital, and they doted on Ye Chuqing, even sending her to learn traditional opera. From then on, the lively residential compound had a young opera star of its own. Lots of girls in and around the compound secretly like He Jingsheng. They give Ye Chuqing packets of sour plum powder and ask her to deliver their love letters. Every time He Jingsheng gets a love letter, he can only smile helplessly. "Was the snack I gave you tasty?" Ye Chuqing: "It was." "Good." - After the factory is restructured, the He family returns to the capital. Ye Chuqing is taken away by her birth mother and finally regains her memories. Only then does she realize she has transmigrated into a book.

When He Jingsheng finds her, the young opera star has grown into a beautiful young woman. He brings her back to the capital and carefully looks after her, watching her become a key member of a theater troupe's training program, and watching himself fall for her little by little. Everyone thinks they share only a sibling-like affection. Who could imagine that the cool, reserved He Jingsheng would hold the soft, sweet-smelling girl in his arms at dawn and gently kiss her awake?
