               Have you ever met a stranger because of an accidental phone call?  Maybe even…

 

               This interesting and romantic story that stretches across two borders should start from an innocent, lively, enthusiastic, carefree, romantic, mischievous and silly 19 year old girl, Ding Xiao Tong…

 

               On this day, there are thin clouds in the Hunan sky and fluttering white smoke, along with the echo of the happy music playing in the air.  The village is celebrating the grand wedding of Ding Xiao Tong and her childhood sweetheart – Lu Jin.  Who knew that such a happy atmosphere would get ruined by Xiao Tong again.  Wearing the traditional wedding attire, Xiao Tong runs along the small road within the village.  It turns out that this is the Nth time that Xiao Tong have collaborated with her good friend, Sun Zhao Di, to run away from her wedding.  Actually, it’s not that Xiao Tong doesn’t like Lu Jin; it’s just that, in Xiao Tong’s heart, she hopes to experience a love as romantic and as large-scale as those in the novels.  Even with so many past defeats, Xiao Tong is filled with confidence this time.  With her vision firm, she heads toward the destination in her heart – Shanghai.

 

               At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, in Taiwan there is also another wedding being held.  The dignified white cross inside the elegant church decorated with fresh flowers everywhere, Gao Feng slowly walks into his younger brother – his stepfather’s son – Zhao Wei Jie’s wedding.  However, Gao Feng’s serious expression seems as if he is working.  It turns out that being the expert at handling crises, Gao Feng’s case this time is to help his stepfather to find the perpetrator who divulged the company’s confidential information.  When the MV of how the newlyweds met are about to be broadcasted at the banquet, the scene unexpectedly turns into broadcasting the perpetrator who betrayed the company’s secrets.  It turns out that the person who betrayed his stepfather is his own son, Zhao Wei Jie!

 

               Gao Feng, 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 justice and is a considerate and kind person within.  However, 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!

 

               Xiao Tong and Zhao Di successful run off to Shanghai.  They also follow a recruiting notice at the bus station to look for a job as female workers at a factory.  On the other hand, 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, Gao Feng wants Xiao Tong to disguise herself as a housekeeper and sneak into the hotel where Li Hui is being held.  Xiao Tong understands and promises to get into the hotel while Gao Feng is on his way to Shanghai.  Xiao Tong finally manages to save Li Hui and Gao Feng is coming in a taxi.  Xiao Tong and Gao Feng misses the first opportunity to see each other face to face.

 

               Because of Li Hui’s status as a celebrity, she attracts a large gathering of the media.  Xiao Tong has to rush back to her dormitory and could only urgently use the phone within the hotel to call Gao Feng and say her goodbyes.  Under Gao Feng’s request, Xiao Tong gives Gao Feng her phone number at the dormitory.  Afterwards, Gao Feng asks to meet Xiao Tong so that he can thank her personally.  Xiao Tong quickly agrees to show up…

 

               Unfortunately, Xiao Tong and Gao Feng miss their second opportunity of seeing each other.  Henceforth, the two of them starts to communicate over the phone using the name of Tiffany and Steven.

 

               Gao Feng has a house in Shanghai that his father left behind after he passed away.  His parents divorced when he was very young and he lives with his father in Shanghai.  After his father passed away, Gao Feng’s mother brought him to Taiwan from the orphanage.  As a result, Gao Feng doesn’t really like his mother.  Agreeing to Li Hui’s request, Gao Feng stays in Shanghai to build his career and investments.  His business becomes more prosperous day by day.  In order to focus his attention on his work, Gao Feng decides to find a maid to help out with the daily responsibilities at home.

 

               Before Xiao Tong runs away from her own wedding, her father has already accepted the betrothal money and has used it all.  In order to return the betrothal money, Xiao Tong has no choice but to start working to earn money.  Yet she never expected to become Gao Feng’s maid at his Shanghai house.

 

               Xiao Tong’s childhood sweetheart, Lu Jin also comes to Shanghai.  He wants to get Xiao Tong back but because of Gao Feng, he gets fired from the restaurant where he is working at.  Xiao Tong finds out that Gao Feng is the person who got into a conflict with Lu Jin and so she starts to use her status as his maid to make trouble for Gao Feng.  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…

 

               Xiao Tong and Gao Feng, during the day they are living the lifestyle of master and servant but at night, they use the phone to reveal their worries and dreams to each other.  One has a marriage contract and the other has a girlfriend.  One is a maid and the other is a Prince.  Being from different worlds, they both unconsciously are sinking deeper and deeper into a relationship…  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 and hopes to use this chance to see her but under an unexpected coincidence, they still missed the chance to see one another.

 

               However, the events that follows causes Gao Feng and Xiao Tong’s feelings for each other to deepen even more.  Yet, Lu Jin’s silent waiting also pulls at Xiao Tong, causing her to be unable to let go…  Just when Gao Feng and Xiao Tong find out that they are actually Steven and Tiffany and when they are about to get together, Gao Feng’s stepfather’s company once again encounters a problem.  Gao Feng has to rush back to Taiwan to take care of it and meets up with Zhao Wei Jie, who wants revenge on Gao Feng.  Zhao Wei Jie causes Gao Feng to get into a car accident and causes him to fall into a vegetative state.  As for Xiao Tong, who is still in Shanghai, she receives the news of Gao Feng’s death.  Heartbroken, Xiao Tong leaves Shanghai and returns to Hunan and decides to keep her marriage contract with Lu Jin…

 

               Two year later, Gao Feng miraculously wakes up from his coma.  He tries to get in touch with Xiao Tong in hopes of hearing Xiao Tong’s voice.  However, things didn’t turn out the way he wants it to and all that is keeping him company now are the feelings of longing…

 

               Gao Feng’s silhouette appears in the Winter of Shanghai’s street corner.  He seems to be mourning something and he seems to be looking for something.  Loneliness is all that is shown on his face.  Dusk falls and Gao Feng is still walking along the Shanghai streets.  A group of children runs past Gao Feng’s side.  Suddenly, a familiar melody flows into Gao Feng’s ears…  Two years ago, a young girl often hummed this melody and Gao Feng even played the piano alongside her in a singing competition.

 

               Gao Feng couldn’t help but follows the children and arrives at the entrance of a school.  With anticipation and fear, Gao Feng enters into the school campus.  Gao Feng sees the silhouette of a female exchanging greeting with the children and the parents.  He goes forward.  The female turns her head and she turns out to be a stranger.  Gao Feng is extremely disappointed and he turns around, prepared to leave.  He unexpectedly sees Xiao Tong standing afar and looking at him.  Time stops and not sure how much time passed.  Gao Feng and Xiao Tong both run towards each other and hug underneath the branches of the tree…

 

               True love does not have any conditions.  Everything that the world sees is far inferior to what the heart truly sees.  Perhaps true love is hard to find but in a certain corner within this world, there is certainly someone who is searching for you.  As long as you open up your heart, then you will be able to meet this person. - from CTS
