Synopsis and Plot Summary

Jiang Tian met her 60-year-old roommate Wu Jingfang when she returned from Beijing to work in her hometown of Suzhou. They establish a deep friendship through many setbacks while realizing their plan to help renovate old houses.

Jiang Tian (Wang Ziwen) left home to work as an interior designer in Beijing. She was saving up to buy a house and committed to her relationship with boyfriend Fang Yuanqing (Jin Zehao). Just as everything seemed to be moving towards the right direction, Jiang Tian offends her superior which results in her being transferred out to a branch in her hometown and separated from her boyfriend.

Working at the branch is far from what Jiang Tian ever imagined. She unexpectedly becomes colleagues with the 60-year-old Wu Jingfang (Deng Jie). Jiang Tian's plan to return to Beijing falls through when she not only gets dumped but also loses her job. Brokenhearted and unemployed, Jiang Tian has no choice but to stay in her hometown.

Wu Jingfang accompanies Jiang Tian out of her darkest days and becomes her assistant in order to learn how to design. Under Wu Jingfang's influence, Jiang Tian finds a way to achieve a personal breakthrough while integrating into her hometown. Wu Jingfang also rediscovers her self-worth in her sixties and reenters the competitive society. While helping others build their ideal homes, they have also determined the path they will take in the future.
