Under the neon lights of Beijing's Guomao CBD, Su Xiaoman and Li Haoyang, lovers from Beijing, live in a 15-square-meter partitioned room. When advertising agency planner Su Xiaoman revise her proposal at two o'clock in the morning every day, she would always see the fluorescence of programmer Li Haoyang's workstation in the office building opposite. They measured the city on shared bicycles and discussed down payment plans in a late-night cafeteria in the 798 Art District. When Su Xiaoman unexpectedly got a promotion opportunity, Li Haoyang was swept by a wave of layoffs. At the same time, the bacon sent by Su Xiaoman's mother and the cordyceps sent by Li Haoyang's father confronted each other in the small kitchen, opening up the gap between the northern and southern concepts of marriage. Lin Yue, a female investment banker in Financial Street, was diagnosed with depression while having a drink. Gu Jiaming, an alley boy, was guarding the courtyard to collect rent but suffered from hollow heart disease. As Su Xiaoman's team won the annual bid for Universal Studios, she discovered that the pregnancy report and the house purchase deposit contract actually met in the same express bag. At the signing site for a new project outside the Sixth Ring Road, the announcement of a sudden increase in the down payment ratio caused a commotion at the sales office. When Li Haoyang chose to return to his hometown to take the public examination, Su Xiaoman looked at the flight information screen at the T3 terminal of the Capital Airport and finally understood that some distances could not be reached by shared bicycles.
