Before they got married, Xu Nian'an and Jiang Wanyi were a pair of bickering rivals who were drawn to each other. Xu Nian'an was lively, carefree, and easygoing, while Jiang Wanyi was reserved, sensitive, cool, and aloof. They met because of a misunderstanding, and from then on, they were constantly at each other's throats, sparking off each other every time they met.
After marriage, the daily grind of cooking, chores, and bills ties them closely together. Their former hostility gradually turns into caring for each other amid their noisy bickering. When Gu Zhiyi is busy and exhausted, Shen Xinglan quietly prepares a comforting meal for her. When Shen Xinglan is feeling down, Gu Zhiyi acts silly to make her smile.
In their ordinary yet cozy days, they slowly realize that all their past arguments and squabbles have become one-of-a-kind embellishments to their love. Marriage is not the end of love, but a catalyst that deepens it. From being like fire and water before marriage to loving each other deeply afterward, Gu Zhiyi and Shen Xinglan's love grows richer with time, their affection lasting year after year as they stay by each other's side.
