Synopsis and Plot Summary

Paralegal Qian Wei is her boss Lu Xun's unfortunate lackey. Her boss has had beef with her since she offended him in the past. When she hits rock bottom, she dreams herself back to the time when she was 18 years old. In between dreams and reality, the two people explore each other's feelings while staying true to their aspirations in the legal world.

The 28-year-old Qian Wei (Lareina Song) is a paralegal and her immediate boss is her former classmate Lu Xun (Huang Zitao). Qian Wei believes that Lu Xun has been picking on her with no qualms about their past acquaintance because he bears a grudge against her due to what happened when they were students. As such, she blames the gods while thinking about how to please Lu Xun to save herself from the sticky workplace situation that she's gotten herself into.

One day, Qian Wei reverts back to her teenage self in a dream. This time around, she intends to flatter Lu Xun to no end and to help him win over his dream girl to get on his good side. Not only that, Qian Wei plans to copy his road to success. Sadly, her efforts seem to have the opposite effect as she seems to have offended Lu Xun even more. With the chance to restart her life, Qian Wei intends to do everything that she wants to do. It is there that she realizes Lu Xun's attitude towards her may simply be his way of caring. After waking up, Qian Wei finally gets to know the real Lu Xun.
