(portrayed by Blue Lan Cheng Long) – I Do Wedding
Villa’s successor
He comes from a wealthy family, is elegant and
refined and has an arrogant personality. His father is afraid
that Hao Zhe will find out that he has a mother who abandoned
them and in order to protect Hao Zhe, he never once mentioned
the truth of why Hao Zhe’s mother left. It is also because of
this that there has always been an unsolved question within his
heart. On the surface, Hao Zhe appears as if he is indifferent
to others, but in fact, he has a warm heart which wishes for a
mother’s love and a perfect family.
When Hao Zhe was 17 years old, his father
remarried. His stepmother, Ren Ling Ling, is only 12 years
older than Hao Zhe. He couldn’t accept this woman who has
different ideals as him as his stepmother. On that
disappointing night, he meets a girl, Summer, who finds out that
her father is going bankrupt. That night, they both spoke of
their dissatisfaction towards life and their vision for the
future. This first love is also their first night together.
After that, they both return to their own real world
respectively. Hao Zhe is not able to get along with his
stepmother and becomes the rebel at home in trying to get his
father’s attention. However, his father died in a car accident
and the enormous family inheritance is left behind for Hao Zhen
and Ren Ling Ling. Henceforth, it accelerated Hao Zhe’s
lifestyle of using luxury and wasting money to torment this
widow.
Five years later, Hao Zhe and Summer reunite. On
the surface, he acts if he doesn’t care, doesn’t need love. Yet
deep in his heart, he sincerely thanks God that he was given
another chance to see Summer again. Unfortunately, Hao Zhe’s
behavior makes Summer feel both love and hate for him. Just
when Summer no longer wants to continue to bear Hao Zhe’s
tormenting love and makes up her mind to accept Joan’s love, who
has been aside her all along, Hao Zhe unexpectedly performs an
astonishing act at his and Jian Mei Li’s wedding. He pulls
Summer, who was the bridesmaid, out of the wedding venue. With
one sentence “let’s get married” ~ they both went overseas to
get married.
After a romantic and short wedding, Hao Zhe and
Summer are thrown into a poor and lowly husband and wife
lifestyle. These two arrogant younger people have their own
beliefs when it comes to love and they try to force each other
to accept their own beliefs. The little differences in life are
completely blown up into bigger proportions and create direct
conflicts between them.
Marriage is not as simple as they had thought. It
is not just two person’s business; rather it is the union of two
families. After marriage, Hao Zhe is against Summer using her
money to help her father, who is bankrupt, to rebuild his
business. Summer, on the other hand, couldn’t stand the way
that Hao Zhe is tormenting his stepmother, Ren Ling Ling. They
both use harsh words to challenge one another to their
patience’s limits. Romance, passion, happiness all seems to
have vanished after their marriage. Until the limit is reached,
one sentence, “Forget it, let’s get a divorce.” cause them to
end their 100 days marriage.
Divorce causes them to turn from lovers into
enemies. In order to conceal a broken heart, Hao Zhe indulges
in alcohol and women. He resumes his relationship with Jian Mei
Li but each day, he still misses and thinks about Summer. At
the same time, Hao Zhe gets in a financial crisis. He falls
into a trap and loses his whole inheritance. He had no idea
that this trap was set up by his birth mother, Fu Ming Zhu.
This successful, beautiful and modern woman abandoned her
husband and son for her career many years before after giving
birth to Hao Zhe. Now she wants to show her motherly love for
her son by coming to his rescue with a large amount of excess
funds on her hands! As for his stepmother, Ren Ling Ling, who
is trying to educate Hao Zhe into being a good person, she is
willing to bear all the suffering in private and begs Fu Ming
Zhu to truly help Hao Zhe get back onto the right path of his
life.
Being caught up in both financial and emotion
crises, Hao Zhe discover the different forms of love that his
two mothers have for him. He understands that to love someone,
he would first have to learn how to take responsibility and how
to sacrifice. He understands that “love” includes accepting a
person’s good and bad qualities.
Pursue Summer again? Propose one more time? Will
there be a second chance? Hao Zhe is trying diligently to fight
for what he wants.

(portrayed by Annie Liu) – Wedding Dress
Designer
When she was 17 years old, her father declared
bankruptcy. Her education and future was destroyed in one
night. When she was hesitating in between suicidal thoughts,
she meets Li Hao Zhe, a guy, who like her is also at a confusing
point in his life. They are attracted to one another, comforted
one another and also encouraged one another. After spending a
night together, they make a promise to give their blessings to
each other…
That night’s warmth and encouragement was forever
etched in Summer’s mind. She starts anew to face life, face any
setbacks. Five years later, Summer becomes a famous partner of
I Do, the wedding service provider. She could be regarded as a
creator of happiness. Summer’s partner, Joan is a professional
photographer. After working continuously with her, he gradually
develops admiration and love for Summer. It wasn’t hard for
Summer to realize the subtle changes in Joan’s behavior towards
herself. However, Summer doesn’t want to commit herself to any
relationship but in her heart, there still exists a place for Li
Hao Zhe, who saved her life five years ago.
Joan is being poached by another wedding service
provider, “Garden Wedding Villa” to join their company. Summer
also accidentally gets the recognition from “Garden Wedding
Villa’s” Vice Chairman, Ren Ling Ling and joins the company.
She never expected that the young master of the company is the
Li Hao Zhe from five years ago. Unfortunately, the Li Hao Zhe
at the present is completely different than the Li Hao Zhe from
five years ago. Moreover, he is going to become the groom of
her old classmate, Jian Mei Li.
At first, Summer thought that her first love five
years ago was only a dream but she soon finds out that Hao Zhe’s
wedding is only an arrangement on Jian Mei Li’s own wishful
thinking. Hao Zhe has actually never forgotten about Summer.
Summer finds out that Hao Zhe’s world is lonely and she really
wants to show him more care. However, standing at the
intersection between friendship and love, Summer honestly
doesn’t know which side she should turn to. She is constantly
thinking about what has happened to Hao Zhe these past 5 years.
Gradually, Summer learns of the abnormal loneliness
within Hao Zhe’s heart from being born in a shattered family.
His wish to be loved and yet he doesn’t know how to express his
feelings. Unconsciously, their feelings for each other grow.
His images of a perfect marriage, his desire for a warm family
and his reluctance to part from her makes Hao Zhe issue a
challenge to the God of Love. He is determined to break away
from Jian Mei Li’s entanglement and leave with Summer to go get
married overseas.
Marriage is really not a simple matter, because
romance is a feeling while marriage is a never ending practice
of showing love every day. It is enough to tire one out and
grasp for breath. It is definitely more difficult than
imagined! This guy and girl lives in different worlds but is
pulled together because of love. From the simple matters of
every day life to the problems of the family’s financial income,
small conflicts continuously appear between Summer and Hao Zhe.
Plus Jian Mei Li constantly stirs up trouble, Summer and Hao
Zhe’s love will have to face an unprecedented test.
Marriage is also the union of two families. It
challenges the opposite party to not step over each other’s
defense lines which is ~ family members. Hao Zhe is against
Summer using money to help her father to rebuild his business.
Summer also couldn’t stand Hao Zhe’s attitude towards his birth
mother, Fu Ming Zhu and his stepmother, Ren Ling Ling. At the
same time, they both have different views of money and their
conflicts are growing bigger and bigger. Romance, passion,
happiness all seems to have vanished after their marriage. All
of these little things cause this marriage, which everyone
didn’t look well upon from the beginning, to end up in divorce
only after 100 days.
After divorce, Summer sinks into self-denial and she
starts to overeat; Hao Zhe falls into a financial crisis after
being set up. It is only after their husband and wife
relationship have ended that they learn that “feelings” is not
something that can be easily broken off. At this time, Summer
finds out that the reason behind her excessive eating is because
she is pregnant! These two people, who thought that they don’t
have any more relations but because of the baby, there is now a
bind that will forever tie them together…
In the end, what will happen?

(portrayed by Maggie Siu) – Person in Charge at I Do
Wedding Villa
Gentle and kindhearted, loyal and dependable; She
doesn’t have any ambitions toward her career. She is extremely
faithful to love and is willing to sacrifice everything to make
the person whom she loves happy. This type of sacrifice which
is urged by a mother’s love made her personality more tough and
strong. Strengthening her delicate nature, she has the courage
to take over the responsibility of running her deceased
husband’s wedding service business. Even though she doesn’t
have the talent for running a business but she is a hundred
times more hardworking than the average person. However, this
toughness is covering a delicate heart which still craves for
love and protection…
Ren Ling Ling grows up from a pretty well-off
family. From childhood till adulthood, she has never had to
worry about anything. Clever and quiet, she has always been the
family’s treasure and doted upon. Such a kind and compassionate
person, who would have expected that misfortune, would befall
upon her…
After graduating from college, Ling Ling joins the
most famous wedding service business in Taipei – “I Do Wedding
Villa” to work. Seeing the happy smiles of the couples who come
to plan their weddings everyday, Ling Ling is also affected by
their happiness. Yet, her boss, Li Jun Ren, always has this sad
look in his eyes. Due to her personality, Ling Ling couldn’t
help but slowly grew to care for Jun Ren. Ling Ling gradually
finds out that his wife, Fu Ming Zhu puts her career before the
family and that she even abandoned the family for her career.
After giving birth to their son, she even left the family.
However, many years have passed but Jun Ren still misses his
wife every now and then. Ling Ling is deeply attracted to this
man and works diligently for him. For him, she even helps out
with his son’s lifestyles. Her sincere nature finally touches
Jun Ren and regardless of his son, Hao Zhe’s opposition, Jun Ren
marries this woman who is only twelve years older than his son.
Ling Ling finally finds the love of her life and she is immersed
in the happiest moments of her life. Who knew that this happy
life would last no more than a year before Jun Ren is killed in
a car accident!
Jun Ren’s death is a big blow to Ling Ling and there
was a short time when she couldn’t face this truth at all.
However, Jun Ren’s son, Hao Zhe is only a child of a little more
than 10 years old. He blames his father for having a change of
heart and as a result, he stops believing in “love.” Ling Ling
is not willing to leave Jun Ren’s family because she is truly
deeply in love with him. She wants to protect everything that
Jun Ren left behind. At the same time, she wants Hao Zhe to
know that eternal love still exists in this world; even if she
knows that the one whom Jun Ren loves the most is not her but
rather his ex-wife, Ming Zhu. After the accident, a police
officer informs them that Jun Ren’s cell phone shows that Jun
Ren was actually on the phone with Ming Zhu when the accident
occurred…
However, Hao Zhe does not understand all the
troubles that Ling Ling goes through and is constantly opposing
her to the point where he deliberately makes things difficult
for her. Ling Ling doesn’t know what to do. She watches as day
by day Hao Zhe becomes more and more rebellious. She has no
choice but to get in contact with Hao Zhe’s birth mother, Fu
Ming Zhu in hopes that she can help bring Hao Zhe back to the
right path. Finally, Fu Ming Zhu returns.
Faced with this love rival whom she couldn’t defeat,
Ling Ling just couldn’t bear it. She doesn’t feel any hatred
towards Ming Zhu, not even jealousy. All she feels is envy and
admiration. Ming Zhu tells her that on the day of Jun Ren’s
accident, she was asking Jun Ren to get a divorce with Ling
Ling. Yet, Jun Ren refused because the person whom he loves the
most is actually Ling Ling. Ling Ling knows that this is a lie
because on Jun Ren’s deathbed at the hospital, Ling Ling heard
with her own ears that Jun Ren had vaguely said that he will get
a divorce with Ling Ling and asked that Ming Zhu return to his
side…
Ling Ling sacrificed everything that she had to love
only one man while Ming Zhu only needs to say a few words and
that is enough to protect the dream that she weaved throughout
her life. Ling Ling begins to understand that Jun Ren’s love
for Ming Zhu is similar to a worship…

(portrayed by Yang
Gui Mei)
– CEO of an international fashion company
Fu Ming Zhu is a renowned beauty who has extreme
confidence and pride. She is the only daughter of Taipei’s
fashion tycoon, Fu Zhi Qiang and is extremely doted upon. When
she was young, she was in a passionate relationship with
designer, Li Jun Ren and they threw everything behind to elope
overseas to get married. Under Ming Zhu’s assistance, Jun Ren’s
talent in the fashion industry is gradually revealed. She
expects to receive his gratitude but how can the husband admit
that he is accepting the help of his wife! After their
marriage, Ming Zhu discovers that marriage life and the life of
two people is not enough to satisfy the craving that she has for
life and for her career.
In order to save their relationship, Ming Zhu gets
pregnant but deep within her heart, she is still thinking about
her personal gains and losses for the future. For a business
trip to the US, she would even have a Caesarean section to give
birth to her six month old son, Li Hao Zhe. This made Jun Ren
extremely furious and as a result, there is a deep crack in
their husband and wife relationship. Jun Ren doesn’t want to
depend on his wife’s family relations anymore and so he starts
his own business and establishes a youthful clothing brand.
Fearing all the rumors and criticisms, Ming Zhu leaves Taipei to
go overseas to build her own career.
This failed marriage left a deep wound within Ming
Zhu and Jun Ren’s heart and it also brought along a sense of
regret for the next generation. Because Hao Zhe grew up without
a mother, there is always a cold and indifferent look on his
face. He doesn’t have a good relationship with his father or
his stepmother, Ren Ling Ling. Like other young people, in his
heart, he is seeking to build his own family.
It turns out that Ming Zhu’s return to Taiwan is by
no means related to the email that Summer sent her. Rather it
is because she has stomach cancer! She returns to the country
because she wants to see her love rival, her son and her
daughter-in-law. In addition, she wants to go to her deceased
husband, Jun Ren’s grave to thank him for his love and respect
for her!
I Do Wedding Villa is a symbol of Ming Zhu and Jun
Ren’s eternal love for each other when they got married. She
never expected that after Jun Ren remarried to Ling Ling that
they would continue on with this dream. Ming Zhu knows better
than anyone else how to run this business. As a result, once
she returns to the country, she overturns Ling Ling’s management
ways at the company and is mistaken for wanting to show off her
authority! The truth is that she doesn’t have much time left
and so she wants to pass everything that she knows over to Ling
Ling. This is because she can see that Ling Ling’s love for Hao
Zhe is not any less than her own!
Many of the problems arise from misunderstanding!
In order to confront his birth mother, Hao Zhe refuses to return
to the family’s business. He uses his willful nature to destroy
himself in hopes of making her feel guilty! He says the words
that his father didn’t dare to say many years ago to hurt those
that are closes to him. Ming Zhu understands the pain within
Summer’s heart and understands that Mei Li’s pride is damaged.
She is even more envious of the sacrifice that Ling Ling made
for love. Years ago, because she wasn’t able to tame Jun Ren,
she chose to abandon him and leave. She thought that love and
kinship is something that she can just easily pick up and put
down. Yet when she sees her husband remarrying another woman,
she is totally devastated!
Ming Zhu and Jun Ren were both living in a
tormenting world! On the night of Jun Ren’s car accident, she
was having dinner with him. Women are always making men decide
who the one that they love the most is. She tells him that she
has a new start in the U.S. and enjoys seeing his devastated
expression! It turns out that this man still misses her. While
driving home, they are both still talking to each other on the
phone, regretting why they didn’t fight harder to keep their
relationship together. “My world can’t be without you. Don’t
you understand why I established this wedding villa?” “Isn’t it
true that you can sleep around with any woman or build your
dreams with any woman?” “I thought that I could because I
didn’t have any other ways to torment you! If I can start all
over again, I can get a divorce with Ren Ling Ling!” After
that, the sounds of cars crashing into each other are heard!
These words become Jun Ren’s last dying words! In order to
punish herself, Ming Zhu will not accept anyone else’s love!
When there is a time limit to everything, then
everything becomes very precious! Hao Zhe not only acknowledges
his birth mother, but he also acknowledges someone who can give
him guidance in his life. He needs to pursue Summer again!
Ling Ling meets not a love rival but rather a mentor in Ming
Zhu. Ming Zhu did not tell Ling Ling of Jun Ren’s last words
because she hopes that each good heart will be able to continue
to live on with the belief of love!

a crush on her. His motto is “time will reveal a person’s
heart; little strokes will fell great oaks.” He deeply believes
that he will be able to touch her heart in the end. How can the
smart Summer not be aware of Joan’s feelings for her?

misunderstandings.
The biggest wedding service business in Taiwan, I
Do, offers a high salary in hopes of inviting Joan over to work
as their photographer. After being rejected by Summer, with a
heavy heart, Joan decides to accept this new job. Who would
have expected that Summer also gets a job to work at I Do and
also reunites with Hao Zhe.
Joan uses true feelings towards Summer but when he
sees that the one that he loves is marrying someone else, he
originally wants to give them his blessings and then resign from
the job. However, he is used and lied to by Jian Mei and
believed that Summer married Hao Zhe for his money. He receives
a big blow and the photos that he takes turns from happy smiling
faces to faces filled with tears. Summer doesn’t want Joan to
get all depressed because of her and tries to think of ways to
make him feel better. Joan receives a big photographic prize
and happily shares it with Summer. However, Summer is afraid
that her husband will get the wrong idea and the more that she
wants to keep it a secret, the more misunderstandings arise…
When Hao Zhe blames her and doesn’t believe her, “can the
opposite sex be merely just friends?” This mistrust sheds a red
light for their 100 days of marriage.
The righteous Joan doesn’t want to destroy anyone’s
marriage but he feels that Hao Zhe is not able to give Summer
happiness. He finds out from Si Yu that Summer is two months
pregnant and his tender love for Summer ignites again. He
decides to become the white knight of love and suggests getting
married with Summer but how will it all end?

(portrayed by

– Daughter of a Big Enterprise
She grew up from a very wealthy family and is the
daughter of an enormous enterprise. Her materialistic lifestyle
has always been well provided for and is the youngest in the
family. She doesn’t have any concepts toward spending money
which leads to her habit of enjoying a lavious and vain
lifestyle. Because of her natural beauty and cleverness, it
makes her even more confident, arrogant, willful, determined to
win, and possessive.
Mei Li is Summer’s middle school classmate. They
went to the same aristocratic school and she had a lot of
admirers around her. She likes being in love. Because all her
family members are busy with their own things and their own
lifestyles, their relationship is sort of distant. Deep within,
she longs to get love and is not afraid of losing love. As a
result, she won’t let herself be a loser in love. Mei Li is
deeply in love with Hao Zhe and decides that she will marry him
no matter what. Even if it is a short marriage, she wouldn’t
mind.
Based on her own wishful thinking, Mei Li prepares
for her wedding with Hao Zhe and even asks Summer to be her
bridesmaid. This allows Hao Zhe and Summer, who haven’t seen
each other for 5 years, to meet again and create big
commotions. What is even more unexpected is that Hao Zhe would
actually use their wedding ceremony to take Summer away and did
not give a thought to Mei Li’s feelings. Aside from being
totally embarrassed by Hao Zhe, this incident also infuriated
Mei Li’s family.
From then on, Summer becomes Mei Li’s enemy. Mei Li
tries to win over Hao Zhe’s birth mother, Ming Zhu. She
attempts to help out with the business deal between Hao Zhe and
Ming Liang and constantly shows up by Hao Zhe’s side. She
reminds him that he is absolutely not a man who can possibly
live a poor and lowly life. All of this more or less influences
Hao Zhe until he and Summer gets a divorce.
When Mei Li appears to be the victorious winner, she
finds out that her parents met with a natural disaster and it is
not certain if they are alive or dead. She discovers that this
is the most painful thing in her life. Her confident and
arrogant ways fall away to reveal her fragile side. In her
depressed state, she gets drunk and into trouble. Fortunately
Hao Zhe and Summer are there to save her. During this process,
Summer has a miscarriage. This experience makes Mei Li realize
that she has never really understood what love is all about.
She begins to understand herself all over again, realizes that
life is valuable and learns to treasure the person who loves
her.

and happy smiling faces of his customers after they have tasted
the cakes and pastries that he made.
Ming Liang is born into a small family. His father

to have a happy life together. Unfortunately, misfortune fell
on them when Ming Liang was 16 years old. One day, while on
their way home, a reckless driver from the opposite lane crashes
head-on to their family’s car. Ming Liang’s parents were
seriously injured and passed away while his legs were injured in
this accident. From then on, he is committed to the wheelchair
for life. He gets everyone’s sympathy but he did not complain
or use anyone’s pity. Rather, he gathers his feelings together
and positively face this misfortunate event in his life. A
warmhearted person plans to financial help Ming Liang each month
with his living expenses. At first, Ming Liang was not willing
to accept this help but he soon finds out that this warmhearted
person is actually the son of that reckless driver in the car
accident many years ago. His name is Li Hao Zhe and that
accident was caused by his father. However, Ming Liang did not
hate Hao Zhe because he knows that this wasn’t Hao Zhe’s fault.

wheelchair, he doesn’t dare to confess his feelings. However,
Xiao Ni actually admires Ming Liang’s optimistic and energetic
personality and in the end, they both had a simple and genuine
love relationship…

Xin Yu)
– Hostess of a nighttime radio program
Romantic, careless and unrestrained, attentive,
objective and considerate. She can understand the thoughts of
those that are around her but other people will not be able to
know what she is thinking about. She has her own unique views
on love and gives people the feeling that she has had a lot of
experience in the world. What is unexpected is that this young
girl, who seems to be so familiar with love experiences, has
actually never been in a relationship before!
Si Yu is a new generation of Taipei’s radio hosts.
Aside from attracting listeners with her soft voice that has a
touch of an indifferent tone, there is also her deep
understanding and opinion on “love.” She loves her job and
likes to help other people solve their problems. It’s just that
when the problem happens to herself, the characteristics that
she use to help others is useless against herself. Fortunately,
she seems to be one of the lucky ones. For example, when she
first arrives in Taipei to work and the first day when she has
to find a roommate to share the rent with her, she meets a very
nice girl, Summer. Summer’s exuberant energy in life makes Si
Yu feel as if she is basking in sunlight every day. They went
from being roommates to being very close friends. Using all the
little things that happen in Summer’s every day life on top of
Si Yu’s unlimited imagination, the night time radio program that
Si Yu hosts gradually becomes very popular with the young
audiences. Si Yu’s popularity rises and everyone wants to see
how the real Si Yu looks like but she is happy to keep a
low-profile. This mysterious identity of hers only makes her
listeners support her even more.
In Si Yu’s eyes, Summer is a naïve girl who holds
impractical fantasies about love and doesn’t even know what love
is all about. At appropriate times, Si Yu would give Summer
some enlightening opinions. She becomes Summer’s most trusted
friend and also is her most reliable mentor. No matter what
problems that Summer has, she would talk to Si Yu about it
first. Summer’s colleague, Joan has had a crush on Summer for a
long time and from the side, Si Yu sees all the things that Joan
has done for Summer. She knows that he is a good man who is
hard to come by and always encourages Summer to get together
with Joan. Yet fate is always like this and the one whom Summer
likes is the playboy Hao Zhe.
When Joan was heartbroken over Summer’s rejection,
Si Yu counseled him like she does with all her audiences. Yet
Joan’s devotion is different than that of the average person and
his calmness even attracted Si Yu to him. Si Yu thought that
she had long figured out what “love” is all about from her
hundreds and millions of listeners and that it is nothing more
than self-perfection, an almost fantasy type of mental disorder
that people has. She thought that when faced with “love” she
can maintain her rational thoughts. Yet, who would have thought
that when love arrives, Si Yu would have no idea what to do.
She is confused and lost and her confidence in helping her
listeners to solve their love problems also starts to waver.
How should she face this crisis in her career? Should her
relationship with Joan advance a step further?

basketball team finds out that the girl that he likes, Xiao Ni,
is in love with a pastry chef in a wheelchair, he goes to the
bakery shop to issue a challenge to Ming Liang.
A small beginning often starts off being sweet and
then painful. With her father’s work, Xiao Ni has to move to
Shanghai and she has no choice but to be separated from Ming
Liang. Because of Ming Liang’s disappointment with his own
body, his relationship with Xiao Ni doesn’t develop like that of
normal couples. However, Xiao Ni still faces it bravely.
Taking advantage of the time when her father returns to Taiwan
for a meeting, she goes to look for Ming Liang. However, she
doesn’t know that this strolling in the rain could possibly be
the day when they say goodbye to each other forever.
After the meeting on that rainy day, Xiao Ni catches
a cold and falls into a coma after the virus enters into her
brain. Ming Liang is deeply distressed. Doctor Liu (Xiao Ni’s
father) gives Ming Liang a scrapbook which Xiao Ni made. Within
the scrapbook is filled with cartoon images of Xiao Ni and Ming
Liang. The Ming Liang within the scrapbook is a healthy and
energetic youngster. He is moving around like a normal person
while Xiao Ni is clapping her hands on the side. She never
thought of forcing Ming Liang to accept her; rather, she is just
standing beside him to give him support.
Having Xiao Ni’s encouragement, Ming Liang decides
to go for a third surgery. However, the Xiao Ni on the hospital
bed has no consciousness of his decision at all. Is fate really
being so harsh on this pair of young lovers? On the day when
Ming Liang stands up again, will Xiao Ni wake up and walk with
Ming Liang for many years to come? |
