These two leads could not be further opposites, yet the fit together like a mortise and tenon puzzle box. He is stoic while she is a loyal and frisky puppy. Speaking of puppies, one might think Prof. Ji's faithful pooch had a paw in making their love connection. Baby Qi (Qi Nian's psuedonym) meets Qi Boa after he decided to take himself for a walk. For Qi Boa it was love at first bite, after the scene stealer snags a piece of Baby Qi's beef jerky. He returns the favor by dragging her to meet his Dad, Prof Ji. He is just the slice of yummy inspiration she was looking for, a prototype that will save her career as a manhua creator.

Completely ignorant about romantic relationships, Qi Nian is very straight forward about her personal interests in Ji Yanxin, but evasive about her professional ones. She sticks to him like a barnacle on his butt, becoming his TA, even though she is not a student at the university and doing everything she can to imprint her name and very essences into his mind.

Fate is a funny thing, as it turns out Qi Nian's mysterious "female," previously unmet roommate is in reality Ji Yanxin's didi, Ji Siqi, an unpublished manhua artist, and the biggest fan of Baby Qi's stolen original work. He complicates the budding relationship between the leads, having become infatuated with her after she validates his dream of becoming a professional manhua artist and hires him as her assistant. Having been estranged for years, Ji Yanxin would do anything for his didi except give up the girl he has fallen for. Competition for Qi Nian complicates their reconciliation.

This drama is filled with many sweet moments and sweet flashbacks, the sweetest is in the last few minutes of the last episode. We discover our leads fate was set in motion maybe ten years prior to when Qi Boa introduces his new mom to his dad. Ji Yanxin meets Qi Nian's dad at an ancient temple where her dad give Ji Yanxin her love plaque that girls leave when when wishing for marriage. He leaves with her plaque, which he keeps as a keepsake of his visit and walks by his future bride as she rushes to show her dad a sketch of Ji Yanxin, her first prototype, likely was the hero of her first manhua, the one that would be stolen from her.
