After graduating from college through self-study, Qin Xiaoxiao, who had worked her way through school and always strived to better herself, chose to give up her stable job as a store manager at her family's business.
She left home and traveled thousands of kilometers to the big city where Wang Miao, a friend she'd known since childhood, lived, hoping to find work. She entered the real estate industry in a city famous as a "water town south of the Yangtze, where beauties are as graceful as jade." There, she met a supervisor, Zong Zhengwu, whose personality was just like her first love's. It was like a scene from a novel, drawing Qin Xiaoxiao back into memories of a love she could never attain. Over three years of working together, love and resentment intertwined...
Perhaps after all her struggles, whenever Qin Xiaoxiao looked back on the past, she would tell herself:
"Love has no first come, first served, and no right or wrong.
What remains are the twists and turns of youth spent achieving nothing, and a nature that takes things as they come."
