Li Hao Zhe

(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.

 

Summer / Xia Yi Xin

(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?

 

Ren Ling Ling

(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…

 

Fu Ming Zhu

(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!

            Working together with Summer, Joan is able to see the merciless side of Summer when she deals with men.  This makes him both laugh and feel scared because unknowingly he has 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?  Especially when her roommate, He Si Yu is really appreciative of Joan’s devotion to Summer.  She often tries to match them together but without much success.  He almost thought that Si Yu had a crush on himself and created many complicated 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?

 

Jian Mei Li

(portrayed by Margaret Lin) – 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.

 

Zhang Ming Liang

(portrayed by Figaro Zeng) – Pastry Chef at Hong Pei Bakery

 

            Optimistic and energetic, has a good heart, honest and sincere, considerate and willing to help others.  Although he is handicapped and has to depend on a wheelchair to move around, but he has never given up on himself.  Rather, he faces life very positively and is a cheerful guy who is liked by everyone who meets him.  He likes it when he sees the satisfied 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 manages Hong Pei Bakery and their family of three was supposed 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.  Furthermore, like himself, Hao Zhe also lost his father in this accident.

            Ming Liang generously accepted Hao Zhe’s kind intentions.  He uses this money to learn how to make pastries and is determined to take over his father’s shop.  The smart and skillful Ming Liang very quickly learned all that he needed and officially becomes a pastry chef.  He reopens his father’s small shop and all the neighbors are very supportive of him.  Aside from liking his personality, it is also because the cakes and pastries that he makes are really very tasty!

            As the days pass, Ming Liang’s friendship with Hao Zhe deepens.  Although both of Ming Liang’s legs are handicapped, but he possesses a heart that is stronger than the normal person.  By contrast, even though Hao Zhe is healthy and strong, but he possesses a shattered heart.  They often get together to play basketball, make pastries and is Hao Zhe’s best friend.  After Hao Zhe and Summer gets married and doesn’t want to depend on their family’s fortune to continue to live their lives, they wanted to put funds into the pastry shop to expand it and make it into a franchise shop.  Unfortunately, they met with many obstacles during this process.  The way that they handle affairs and their opinions are different which puts their friendship into a severe test!

            Ming Liang also has a mischievous and willful side that normal youngsters have.  There are times when he would refuse to sell his carefully made pastries to customers whom he deems as not appreciative of his work.  He has a crush on a young girl name Liu Xiao Ni who is a regular customer at his shop.  Yet because he is a handicap person who is stuck to a 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…

 

He Si Yu

(portrayed by Zhong 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?

            The memory that she put away for five years, resurfaces in Xiao Ni’s mind.  She decides to take the initiative and pursue a sincere love.  However, she forgets that she is also a pretty young girl and there is never a lack of admirers for her at her school.  When the captain of the 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.
