(portrayed by Li Xiao Lu)
– A young female factory worker in Shanghai, Gao Feng’s maid,
Gao Feng’s close friend, Tiffany.
Female, 19 years old, has an innocent and
lively personality, enthusiastic and carefree, romantic,
mischievous and silly. She is a young female worker in a
Shanghai factory. Xiao Tong originally is a young girl from the
Hunan Village. She has always hoped that she can come to the
flourishing city of Shanghai for a visit and also to experience
a love as romantic and as large-scale as those in the novels.
In order to make her dream come true, on her big
wedding day, Xiao Tong actually hides the truth from her father,
lies to her fiancé (Lu Jin) and coerces her good friend (Zhao Di)
to go in her place; although Xiao Tong has many great skills but
unfortunately the village is filled with many skilled people
too. Xiao Tong was caught and brought back home. However,
seeing the depressed and unhappy Xiao Tong, Lu Jin couldn’t bear
it and he set Xiao Tong off to her freedom.
As she wished, Xiao Tong travels from Hunan to
Shanghai to explore this new world. She accidentally picks up a
cell phone tossed out from the inside of a hotel and gets
connected with Gao Feng, who is all the way in Taiwan.
Henceforth, Gao Feng and her destiny are entwined.
First she helps Gao Feng to save his kidnapped
girlfriend, Li Hui, who is a celebrity. However, Gao Feng
doesn’t have the good fortune to express his gratitude to Xiao
Tong face to face. They are only able to communicate via the
phone. One uses the alias Tiffany and the other uses the alias
Steven. They use the phone and their alias names to reveal
their worries and dreams to each other. But in reality, they
both don’t have good impressions of one another due to some
conflict that arose from an accidental confrontation.
On top of that, on the day before Xiao Tong runs
away from her own wedding, her father has already accepted the
betrothal money and have used it all too. In order to return
the betrothal money, Xiao Tong has no choice but to start
working to earn money. Yet she unexpectedly becomes Gao Feng’s
maid at his Shanghai house. At the same time, Xiao Tong’s
fiancé, Lu Jin, also comes to Shanghai because he wants to get
Xiao Tong back. But because of Gao Feng, Lu Jin gets fired from
the restaurant that he is working at. Xiao Tong finds out that
Gao Feng is the person who has a confrontation with Lu Jin and
so she starts to use her status as a maid to cause trouble.
Gao Feng starts to experience all sorts of problems
- tasting the hotter than hell foods, experiencing the cold
water baths, losing things, no water, no electricity, toothpaste
becomes ointment, alarm going off in the middle of the night,
zippers being sewn together, etc. Turning into a little kid
himself, Gao Feng also starts to childishly treat Xiao Tong.
Living under the same roof, both start to trigger a whole series
of amusing events that causes one to be annoyed and also causes
one’s heart rate to increase and blush… |

(portrayed by Lee Wei)
–
Male, 25 years old, has a fortune of more than 80,000,000 Taiwan
Dollars, is a successful and handsome young man in the business
market. With an arrogant and proud appearance, he actually has
a rich sense of righteousness and is a considerate and kind
person within. There is such a difference with his personality
because his parents divorced when he was very young. In
addition, being in the business market, in order to protect
oneself and prevail against one’s opponent, ruthlessness becomes
the best weapon that Gao Feng has. It is also for this reason
that Gao Feng has both a devil and an angel’s personality!
Being an expert at handling crises, Gao Feng helps
his stepfather to find the perpetrator who divulged the
company’s confidential information. It turns out that the
person who betrayed his stepfather is his stepfather’s own son
Zhao Wei Jie! After Gao Feng helped to solve his stepfather’s
company’s crisis, he receives an SMS from his celebrity
girlfriend (Li Hui), who is shooting a movie in Shanghai. It
appears that Li Hui refuses to shoot the movie because of a
problem with her contract and now the shooting team has put her
under house arrest. After receiving the message, Gao Feng tries
to reply with his own SMS. Unfortunately, the scoundrel
discovers Li Hui’s phone and throws it out the window which
accidentally lands in front of Ding Xiao Tong.
Picking up the cell phone, Xiao Tong receives Gao
Feng’s call. Gao Feng is too far away to help Li Hui and could
only ask for Xiao Tong’s help. Using the cell phone to direct
Xiao Tong, they managed to save Li Hui. Although Gao Feng have
not seen Xiao Tong, but he did ask her for her telephone
number. Henceforth, they both start communicating via the
telephone. Conversing through the phone, Gao Feng doesn’t feel
restricted and doesn’t feel the pressure of reality. He is able
to take off his mask, open up his heart and talk happily and
satisfactorily with Tiffany (Xiao Tong) about anything.
Gao Feng gradually starts to develop a sense of
dependence on Tiffany and the thought of wanting to see her face
to face grows more and more. Gao Feng helps to introduce
Tiffany to an advertisement job but under an unexpected
coincidence, they still missed the chance to see each other. As
for the advertisement, because of a problem with the contract,
it did not get published in the Shanghai area. In the day, Gao
Feng and Xiao Tong are still both going their own ways, living
the shady lifestyle of a master and a maid.
Finally, Xiao Tong accidentally finds out that Gao
Feng is Steven and in Xiao Tong’s heart, she gradually starts to
fall in love with Gao Feng. One time, Gao Feng’s partner (Qi
Yu) helped Gao Feng accept a big case but Gao Feng’s identity
must be that of married person. Under Qi Yu’s suggestion, Gao
Feng takes Xiao Tong for a big makeover – hairstyle, clothes,
make-up, high heels and the trace of love under Xiao Tong’s
faintly red cheeks, makes her look refined and beautiful. All
of this causes Gao Feng to stare dumbfounded at Xiao Tong and he
couldn’t help but think in his heart: Wouldn’t it be so great if
Xiao Tong is Tiffany…
Gao Feng’s interaction with the maid, Xiao Tong,
during the day and his talks with Tiffany over the phone at
night, causes him to day by day develop a sense of dependence
and love towards them both. Xiao Tong is able to feel all of
this. Xiao Tong, who knows that Gao Feng is Steven, also feels
love for both identities. As her feelings are gradually
becoming clearer, but because of Xiao Tong’s fiancé – Lu Jin, a
significant change is about to happen… |

Male, 25 years old, Xiao Tong’s fiancé in Hunan.
Although he has an impulsive personality and straightforward,
but he is extremely gentle and patient towards Xiao Tong.
Because he can’t bear for Xiao Tong to be unhappy and have
regrets, he let Xiao Tong go on their wedding day. But, Lu Jin,
who has been childhood friends with Xiao Tong since they are
young and being deeply in love with Xiao Tong, still couldn’t
help but miss her and so he also goes to Shanghai to look for
her. Yet on the first day that Lu Jin arrives in Shanghai, he
sees Xiao Tong getting into a conflict with Gao Feng and Qi Yu.
Having learned martial arts since young, Lu Jin beats Qi Yu up.
Although Lu Jin has helped Xiao Tong but later it is also
because of Qi Yu that Lu Jin looses his job at the Shanghai
restaurant.
Fortunately, Lu Jin, who has good culinary skills,
was very quickly able to find another work opportunity.
Moreover, it turns out that he will be working in the restaurant
at Xiao Tong’s factory. Just when Xiao Tong is thinking hard on
how to get revenge for Lu Jin, she unexpectedly becomes Gao
Feng’s maid. Xiao Tong starts to take this opportunity to make
trouble. However, Lu Jin, accidentally overhears Gao Feng and
the factory director talking and finds out that he got his job
at the restaurant because of Gao Feng. Lu Jin expresses his
thanks to Gao Feng and understands that he has misunderstood Gao
Feng. Later, under his father’s assistance, Lu Jin opens up his
own small restaurant in Shanghai. This is because he hopes to
be able to make a career for himself in Shanghai and win Xiao
Tong’s heart.
Lu Jin and the female workers are happily helping
Xiao Tong to celebrate her first birthday in Shanghai. Lu Jin
wants Xiao Tong to wish for anything within her heart and he
will do everything he can to make that wish come true. As
expected, Lu Jin does everything that he says he will do. Xiao
Tong is extremely happy but she discovers the reason why the
drunken Lu Jin would bid her farewell with tears in his eyes.
Lu Jin gives Xiao Tong and Gao Feng his blessings. Feeling that
something isn’t right, Xiao Tong runs over to the restaurant to
look for Lu Jin. This is when Xiao Tong discovers that Lu Jin’s
restaurant went out of business. Xiao Tong finds the drunken Lu
Jin by the roadside. Lu Jin is upset over his own failure and
incompetence. He feels that he doesn’t fit to be with Xiao Tong
anymore. Xiao Tong encourages Lu Jin to get back on his feet
and promises him that after he succeeds, they will get married.
Lu Jin finally finds the opportunity to rebuild his
career. He participates in the Shanghai Culinary Contest and
wins the Gold Culinary prize. The young Lu Jin quickly becomes
the target of a management agency and successful becomes the
idol on many young females. Henceforth, Lu Jin and Xiao Tong
could only look at each other from a distant and hardly have any
time to be together. Lu Jin’s agency arranges for him to shoot
an idol drama. At first, Lu Jin was not too willing to
participate in this. However, he never expected that the main
female cast would be his idol, Li Hui. |

are still women who would throw themselves at Gao Feng, but he
is very clear. The one that he loves is Li Hui. He would use
the love that he believes in to love her. However, Gao Feng is
still not willing to step into a marriage. It’s not that Li Hui
is not the right person; rather he doesn’t believe in marriage
because of his bad experience with his parents divorce when he
was a child.
Although that is the case, Li Hui still wants to
have her own family. She has always believed that she would be
able to overcome Gao Feng’s psychological barrier. However,
Xiao Tong’s appearance brings alarming awareness to Li Hui that
her confidence could only just be her own wishful thinking.
This is because she finds out that this young maid (Xiao Tong)
who appears every day in Gao Feng’s house, understands what Gao
Feng is thinking and knows his habits and customs much better
than Li Hui herself. Gao Feng’s dependence on Xiao Tong and his
transformation causes Li Hui to feel very bad.
Li Hui starts to use her own influence to try to
prevent Xiao Tong from getting close to Gao Feng. However, she
has not been able to win Gao Feng’s heart back. Instead, she
had a huge argument with Gao Feng. Li Hui couldn’t bear to see

understand which part of her couldn’t compare with Xiao Tong.
At this moment, Li Hui finds out that the new drama’s male

whichever way the wind blows. He has a cautious and profound
personality. To earn 100,000,000 before he turns 30 years old
is Qi Yu’s goal. After Qi Yu and Gao Feng have become partners,
even though he is step by step heading toward his own goal, yet
he starts to feel unsatisfied.
Qi Yu often thinks that Gao Feng is too emotional
when he handles matters and that it costs the company’s income
to be reduced by half. He doesn’t understand why the clients
are always designating Gao Feng to lead everything and he also
doesn’t understand why Li Hui is always guarding Gao Feng, who
doesn’t want to get married. Qi Yu secretly plans to snatch the
company and Li Hui away from Gao Feng.

Shanghai is foreclosed. In order to live, Gao Feng starts to
play the piano to make a living at a restaurant. He, who has
lost his wealth and lost his self-confidence, unexpectedly wins

able to smoothly finish her song. Although she didn’t win, but
she still gets the best courage prize and a box of drinks.
Seeing Xiao Tong and the female workers’ happiness, Gao Feng
never imagined that these worst days in his life would actually
turn out to be his happiest.
Although Xiao Tong sees that Gao Feng is content
with his life now, but she knows that playing the piano is a
waste of Gao Feng’s talents. Xiao Tong remembers back to the
time when she and Gao Feng pretended to be a married couple to
attend a banquet. She tried everything she could and finally
gets a meeting with the boss. After many twists and turns, Xiao
Tong is able to get an opportunity for Gao Feng. It is also
because of this that Gao Feng is able to rebuild his career and
receives a big case.
In order to help the factory through a difficult
crisis, Gao Feng couldn’t help but have to let part of the staff
go. However, Gao Feng doesn’t know that this factory is the
place where Xiao Tong works at. Xiao Tong is fired and she has
to return to Hunan. After Gao Feng finds out, he goes to Hunan
to find Xiao Tong. En route to find Xiao Tong, Gao Feng is
stunned to see an advertisement board. It turns out that the
advertisement on the board is the same ad that Gao Feng
introduced to Tiffany and the female model in the ad is none
other than Xiao Tong…
Gao Feng and Xiao Tong finally truthfully express
their feelings for each other and officially begin dating. Just
when their relationship is steady, a crisis occurs for Gao
Feng’s stepfather’s company. Gao Feng, who hurries back to
Taiwan, is able to successful save his stepfather’s company in
one week. When Gao Feng is getting ready to return to Shanghai,
