A forthright, sweet girl who knows how to go after what she wants vs. a lover with plenty of unconventional tricks up his sleeve
At twenty-two, Chunyi graduated from art school. She had dreamed of becoming a plush toy designer since she was little, but the plush toy company she had her heart set on kept rejecting her applications. When she learned that Zhong Ran, her landlord's grandson, was the vice president of the company’s China division, she repeatedly looked for chances to run into him and ask him to give her a job.
Impressed by how hard she was willing to fight for what she wanted, Zhong Ran gave her an interview with the marketing department, then teased her: "You've got quite some nerve, little miss."
Chunyi grinned. "My grandma says, 'When you find a good job or a good husband, you should go after them.'"

At twenty-four, Chunyi got the chance to study and work in the design department at the company's headquarters in Switzerland. Before leaving, she confessed her feelings to Zhong Ran once more.
But Zhong Ran didn't want to hold her back on her way up. He wanted her to see the world and choose the life she wanted for herself, so he said, "Go. Make your dreams come true, meet more people, and experience different ways of life. If you still want to be with me when you come back, then we'll be together."

At twenty-five, Chunyi was painting beside a lake in Zurich when Zhong Ran suddenly appeared before her.
He said, "If I hadn't come looking for you, were you never going to come back and find me?"
[Reading Tips]
1. A lighthearted style with a workplace ensemble cast, though the focus is mainly on the leads. I like to think the characters feel like real people.
2. The story is set mainly at a plush toy company that brings people emotional comfort. The workplace atmosphere will always be friendly and relaxed. The characters will never be overworked.
