             In order to confess his feelings to Wen Zi, Ah Ke accepts the Store Manager’s suggestion and goes out onto the streets to try to strike up a conversation with 100 girls as a means of training his courage.

            Xiao Xue and Wen Zi, who has the same birthday, runs into a fake “tarot card reader” on the eve before their birthday.  The tarot car reader tells them that they will meet their Prince Charming on their birthday.  Under an unexpected coincidence, capsule toy girl, Xiao Xue becomes Ah Ke’s 100^th target to strike up a conversation with.  She excitedly takes out “the love handcuffs” and shackles Ah Ke.  As a result, Ah Ke misses the opportunity to confess his feelings to Wen Zi!  As for Wen Zi, she is eagerly anticipating for the Prince Charming that the “tarot card reader” mentioned.  However, the one who appears before her is not Ah Ke, whom she wishes for, but Meng Xue, who all the girls admire and yet whom Wen Zi doesn’t love.  Even though Meng Xue pursues her with flowers and confesses his feelings to her on her birthday, Wen Zi remains untouched as before…

            Xiao Xue is stuck to Ah Ke!  Under this condition, they are also forced to “live together.”  Yet, he still has not given up on his confession to Wen Zi.  However, nothing ever goes as one wishes it to.  Each time at the most crucial moment of his confession, there is always some factor that would interrupt Ah Ke.  Xiao Xue confesses that she has the “lacking in happiness” illness.  After meeting Ah Ke, she finally feels that happiness has fallen on her.  She, who is very fond of turning for capsule toys to predict her fortune, also starts to turn out the frog capsule toy that symbolizes great fortune and luck.  Even though she knows that Ah Ke already has a girl that he likes, Xiao Xue will not deliberately try to stop him or interfere.  However, she never imagined that she will actually become the obstacle that causes Wen Zi and Ah Ke to get further and further away from each other.

            Meng Xue’s care and love for Wen Zi is noticed by Wen Zi but within her heart… she can’t accommodate this extraordinary man.  What she is waiting for is Ah Ke’s ordinary, simple, and kind heart enthusiasm.  Not being able to get Wen Zi’s heart, Meng Xue finally goes after Ah Ke, whom he looks down upon.  He ridicules Ah Ke for having a spiritless heart and for having no achievements in his career.  Meng Xue points out that he and Wen Zi are the perfect couple.  Being provoked and humiliated, Ah Ke, in order to prove to Wen Zi that he is a man who can be depended upon, completely changed his attitude towards work.  The naïve Ah Ke changes his personality which causes Wen Zi, who originally likes him, to feel sad and disappointed…

            Under Xiao Xue’s encouragement, Ah Ke does better and better.  However, this does not cause any further developments in Ah Ke and Wen Zi’s relationship.  Instead, it causes Wen Zi to get the wrong idea about Ah Ke and Xiao Xue’s relationship.  At the same time, Ah Ke also accidentally mistakes that Meng Xue and Wen Zi have a close relationship even though this is all planned by Meng Xue.  Ah Ke and Wen Zi both have a shadow in their heart yet neither is willing resolve this misunderstanding.  This causes Ah Ke and Wen Zi, who originally are attracted to each other, to grow further and further apart…  In the end, the one who is beside this baseball guy, would be the goddess in his heart or the evil monster that he can’t get rid of?!  What price would the lady’s man, Meng Xue, have to pay for love?!

            During the second half of the ninth inning, love is three balls and two strikes.  Does life end with the conclusion of a game or does it continue on to the next base?  At the last moment when one is up for bat, who… no one can give up even if there are no audiences, no applauses at the ball park.
