            Serious with regards to her job, strong capabilities, responsible, persistent, astonishingly efficient.  When she is working, she is like an unbendable piece of steel but her subordinates who work under her often feels extreme pressure.

            She often gets the insider news on all stories that even her male colleagues are not able to get.  She is most beloved by her boss and yet is the target of all conversations and envious looks by both male and female colleagues.  Everyone believes that she works like a man, takes in the same income as a man, and has the capabilities like a man!  As a result, people nickname her “A man who wears skirts.” in private.

            Wu Shuang has been working in the field for more than 10 years and has rented a studio apartment by herself.  She, who appears skilled and capable, is a total idiot when it comes to everyday life activities!  She doesn’t know how to change the light bulbs, doesn’t know how to fix the faucet when it is broken, doesn’t know to look for special on sale prices, doesn’t collect points to exchange for gifts… in any case, all of these things can be solved with money, it’s not as if I, the queen, don’t know how to work to make money!

            However, the problem with being too dedicated to work makes her unable to live life to the fullest.  She works till she drops every day and doesn’t even have time to get into any love relationships!

            Until this year, there is only a few more months left before she turns 33 years old.  She suddenly stops and realizes that she has wasted so much time.  All around her, even those colleagues who can’t compare to her have someone to depend on and yet, she is still all alone by herself…

            Only then did she suddenly discover that she has become one of the failures in life…

(portrayed by Ethan Ruan) – Male, 25 years old, worker.

            Lucas has a free job and so his schedule is never fixed each day.  He lives life as it comes to him.  He is like the wind and blows around wherever it takes him.  He often drives those people around him in circles.  Lucas likes to keep himself out of all matters but under his carefree personality, there is a difficult past that he couldn’t let go.

            After losing his girlfriend in an accident, Lucas starts to play around in the world!  Since he will never come across true love again, he doesn’t need to set his limits with one woman.  Without a steady girlfriend, he is very good at being the playboy.

            With a great learning capability, he can easily adapt to any situation.  However, he never stays long enough at a job for him to start growing attached to it or have feelings for it.  Perhaps it is because he keeps on changing jobs, so on the surface, his stability is not noticed by others.  Yet his ability to handle over a hundred different kinds of jobs is because of his many aspects of endurance and experience.  For someone so young, his ability to adapt and his skillful thoughts are astonishing.

            As a result, Lucas becomes a person of multi jobs but not everything is okay for him.  If he feels that it is not good, he will not do it.
