Xu Mu, a planner at Shangxin Advertising Company, has just suffered through her sixth disastrous blind date. She’s convinced that finding love isn’t about ticking off boxes or settling for an “eligible bachelor”—it’s about something deeper and more genuine. Despite relentless pressure from her parents to settle down, Xu Mu remains steadfast, focusing on her career and pushing through the setbacks in her love life.

Everything changes when Xu Mu unexpectedly runs into Xie Shi, her high school deskmate, now a cold and calculating director at a key client company. After a drunken mishap, Xu Mu inadvertently declares Xie Shi as her boyfriend on social media. Swamped with congratulatory messages from friends and family, Xu Mu finds herself in a tight spot.

To navigate the confusion, Xu Mu and Xie Shi decide to play along, entering into a faux relationship. As they cohabit and their initial awkwardness fades, genuine emotions start to surface. Unbeknownst to Xu Mu, this charade has awakened long-buried feelings in Xie Shi, who has secretly harbored a crush on her for years. What began as a convenient ruse is evolving into something far more complicated and heartfelt.
