A girl on a quest to find a boyfriend in time for her sister's wedding day goes on many blind dates.

Xia Tian (whose name means Summer in English) works for a radio station. She's the type of girl who's forever single due to relationships that don't ever work out. She once overheard her mom telling her half-sister that she'll still be fat and alone when she attends her sister's wedding. Insulted, she makes a bet with her mom declaring that she will have a boyfriend in time for the wedding. If she makes it, her grandmother's house which she treasures deeply will no longer be for sale.
