A Sweet Love with a Hint of Milk Candy

Li Zi, a junior majoring in management, has become timid and cowardly, with an extreme lack of security, after five years of failed relationships. In front of others, however, she is positive, cheerful, and kind. She meets the male lead, a senior majoring in civil engineering, at the audition for the New Year's Eve gala host. He comes from a single-parent family, grew up abroad with his father, and has a younger sister. He returned to China in high school and has lived on his own ever since. Independent and capable, he has an exceptionally straightforward, manly way of thinking.

A bribery scandal at the audition brings the two together. As events unfold, they interact more and gradually get to know each other. Li Zi slowly opens her heart and takes the initiative to draw closer to him. With help from their roommates and younger siblings, their feelings grow warmer. After he helps her deal with the harassment from her perverted ex-boyfriend, they officially get together. At this point, however, their relationship is not yet very deep or secure because of their personalities.

After he graduates, he joins the same construction company as a classmate, who grows jealous and frames him, embroiling him in an office romance scandal. Meanwhile, Li Zi's parents discover that his father was once their junior fellow apprentice, and left China after competing for the position of inheritor. The troubles at work and unresolved family history deal a heavy blow to the two sensitive, insecure lovers. Through trust and a united effort, they strengthen their relationship, overcome their difficulties, and end up happily together.
