Synopsis and Plot Summary

A story about a young woman who gets broken up with and finds love once again. She reaches for the stars and comes to form her own perspective on marriage and in life through her everyday experiences.

Mao Yaya (Ying Er) is an idealist with strong beliefs in love. Her family has been nagging her to get married so she is shocked when Xiang Hui (Ma Tianyu), her boyfriend of six years, breaks up with her. Refusing to give up so easily, Mao Yaya does everything she can to win Xiang Hui back. She even pleads with him to return by holding up a sign and standing in front of his office. Her bold actions capture the attention of Liu Huo (Ming Dao), a young and handsome architect. He was once deeply hurt when his girlfriend of seven years abandoned him. Since then, he has stopped believing in love, but Yaya's arrival inspired him to change.

Fun Facts

Filming took place in Beijing.
The cast filmed during the winter when temperature was below 10 degrees Celsius. Everyone's faces and hands would turn red from the cold, but the cast had to wear clothes that are appropriate for spring and fall weather. To keep warm, Ying Er covered herself with heat packs.
For a scene where her character had to get drunk, Ying Er really drank alcohol.
Chinese singer Li Na who sang the main theme song also had a small part in the drama.
