Episode 1:
Frank, whose given name is Cai Jin Lai, is 24 years
old and his
life until the present can be describe simply as nothing
accomplished. Each day he daydreams about being a rich and
powerful master of some enterprise but in actuality, he is just
a slave of the credit cards. At the present, he is being
threatened by the loan sharks to repay his debt or have his arms
broken if he doesn’t. On the other hand, although 25 years old
Zeng Shan Mei is ordinary and not wealthy but she works
diligently. During the day, she works at the customer service
department in a bank and in the evening, aside from going to
work as a janitor at a department store, she would also work
around doing other jobs irregularly to earn money. Aide from
supporting her retired parents, her unemployed brother and
sister-in-law, her nephew, Xiao Bei, who is in elementary
school,
she would also regularly send money each month to her boyfriend,
Jing Rong, who is studying in Hang Zhou. Her good friend Ling
Long scolds Shan Mei for being stupid and not saving any money
for herself. However, Shan Mei actually gladly endures this
hardship. As for Jing Rong, after years of studying, he will
finally be graduating. Regardless of her family and her
friends’ opposition, Shan Mei quits her job and plans to head to
Hang Zhou to get married with Jing Rong.
On the last day of work, Shan Mei call customers to
chase them to pay their debts as usual. Unexpectedly, she
overhears the two guys threatening Frank when she calls him.
Shan Mei saves Frank from the gates of hell and Frank, who has
escaped from the clutches of death, plans to take the ring that
his mother left behind for him to the pawnshop to sell off for
money. Unfortunately, he runs into the two loan sharks again on
the road and so he hides in the girls’ bathroom of the
department store. Coincidentally, he meets Shan Mei, who has
come for her last day of cleaning work. Shan Mei mistakes him
for being a pervert and they both get into a burst of chaotic
fighting. During the confusion, Frank’s ring unexpectedly falls
into the unaware Shan Mei’s bag.
On the day when Shan Mei is heading for the airport,
her mother, Shui Liang leaves some harsh words of wanting to
break up their mother/daughter relationship. Under her brother,
sister-in-law and nephew’s prevention, Shan Mei is placed in a
difficult position. On the other hand, Shan Mei’s father, Huo
Shu, stands behind Shan Mei and tells her to go and pursue her
happiness. Arriving in Hang Zhou, Shan Mei unexpectedly
discovers that Jing Rong has a ring box. The next couple of
days, Shan Mei wait for Jing Rong’s proposal. Finally, Jing
Rong takes Shan Mei to the campus. Shan Mei thought that Jing
Rong will propose to her under the lovers’ tree just like legend
says. Yet, who would have known that Jing Rong actually
confesses to Shan Mei that he has fallen in love with another
girl, Xiao Bo…
The pitiful Shan Mei sadly returns to Taiwan. She
doesn’t dare to return home and also didn’t dare to contact Ling
Long. In the end, she faints on the street from starvation.
When she wakes up, she finds herself in the police station.
After hearing her bitter experience from the sobbing Shan Mei,
the kindhearted police officer, Chun Xiong, reminds Shan Mei
that she has by no means lost everything in this world. She
still has a ring left.
Shan Mei is forced to the end of the road and has no
choice but to hide her moral conscience and borrow the ring to
use as a rent deposit to temporarily rent a room to live. When
Shan Mei is unpacking and staring sadly at her boyfriend’s
picture, her insensitive roommate, who has just returned, keeps
on knocking on her door. An angry Shan Mei opens the door and
standing in front of her, the roommate who is about to live
under the same roof as her, is none other than the pervert whom
she met in the bathroom in the department store… Frank.
Episode 2:
Forced to the end of her ropes, Shan Mei is sitting
at her newly rented place and staring at her boyfriend’s picture
when her new and insensitive roommate keeps on knocking on her
door. An angry Shan Mei opens the door and finds out that her
new roommate is none other than the bathroom pervert… Frank. At
the same time, Frank is stunned to find that the one standing
before him is the Zeng Shan Mei who took off with his mother’s
ring. The two of them starts to argue and Shan Mei finally
understands the reason why Frank was chasing after her before –
ring!
Following the address on the lease, they both go
looking for the landlord. From the address, they arrive at the
police station and only then did they find out that the
so-called landlord that they are looking for is a swindler who
goes around finding empty houses and then renting it out to
people. A furious Frank wants Shan Mei to take all the
responsibility. Even though Shan Mei knows that she is in the
wrong but she refuses to show any weakness. She promises that
she will pay Frank back bit by bit after she finds a job.
On a certain day, Frank accidentally finds out that
the wealthy
Wan Ye still couldn’t get over the pain of losing his deceased
wife. The coincident thing is that when Wan Ye’s wife was
young, she looks extremely like Shan Mei. Frank immediately
grabs this opportunity to arrange for Shan Mei and Wan Ye to
meet. Frank even explains to Shan Mei and tells her to pretend
to have dinner with a pitiful old man. Shan Mei doesn’t
understand when a jerk like Frank would suddenly have sympathy
for someone else. Frank did not mention his deal with Wan Ye.
In order to get Shan Mei out to this dinner with Wan Ye, Frank
had swindled some money out of him. When Shan Mei questions
Frank’s motives, he puts on an indifferent face and tells Shan
Mei that as long as she is willing to go to this dinner, he will
forget the incident with the ring. Shan Mei doesn’t give it
much thought and nods her head in agreement.
Arriving at the restaurant, Shan Mei has no idea who
Wan Ye is. When Wan Ye is hugging her tightly, Shan Mei uses
the excuse of going to the restroom to calm her emotions… On
the other hand, Frank is on his way to the loan sharks with the
money that he got from Wan Ye to repay his debt. At first, he
had thought that he didn’t care what would happen between Shan
Mei and Wan Ye during dinner but having received Wan Ye’s money,
Frank starts to worry if maybe Wan Ye is harboring some evil
intentions. As a result, Frank rushes over to the restaurant
and secretly sneaks Shan Mei out the back door. Shan Mei has no
idea what is going on. Aside from saying that Wan Ye is a
pervert, Frank did not say much of anything else. Shan Mei
questions why he set up this dinner? Frank refuses to answer
and so they are on bad terms again.
Actually before going to the restaurant, Frank had
returned the money that Wan Ye gave him to Wan Ye’s butler.
Frank doesn’t know Wan Ye’s identity and even go as far as
calling the police to the restaurant and getting Wan Ye arrested
and courted off to the police station. However, Wan Ye, who has
only briefly met Shan Mei, not only did not have any bad
feelings toward Frank for what he did but Wan Ye even arranges
for the butler to go to the loan sharks and pay off Frank’s
debts.
Frank’s good friend, Huang Wen Xing is an honest
person and incidentally he sees Shan Mei’s good friend, Huang
Ling Long, who works as a sales cashier at the department
store. From then on, Ah Xing has become deeply infatuated by
her, but Frank doesn’t approve of Ah Xing’s crush on Ling Long.
One night, Shan Mei’s cell phone starts ringing and
it is the ringtone that she has especially set aside for
Jing Rong. Shan Mei rushes to get the phone but she and Frank
got into a huge argument and her phone falls to the ground and
breaks apart. An anxious Shan Mei takes the phone and rushes to
the phone repair store to have it fixed. Unexpectedly, she
bumps into her good friend, Ling Long. After Ling Long
questions Shan Mei on everything that she has encountered, aside
from sympathy, she even actively encourages Shan Mei. She tells
Shan Mei that she can’t give up her life just because she was
dumped by Jing Rong. In the end, Ling Long wants Shan Mei to go
to the night club with her. Perhaps she can meet a good guy and
her life will be different. However, an unfortunate thing
happened… Shan Mei bumps into Frank at the night club…
Episode 3:
At the night club, Frank is happy to be hanging in
his usual spot and using his imaginary family background, he
wins many favors from the ladies. As for Shan Mei, who is
sitting aside, she is being picked up by a guy. Fortunately,
Frank shows up to drive the drunken guy away. When Shan Mei
tries to leave first, she bumps into her old colleagues, Ah Zhu
and Ah Hua from the bank at the door. When she is at a lost of
what to do, Frank unexpectedly pretends that he has snatched
Shan Mei from her boyfriend. What’s even more, Frank and Shan
Mei have even gotten engaged. Although it has solved the
problem that she has on hand, but Shan Mei did not appreciate
Frank’s kindness at all. When they are both in a heated
argument, Shan Mei’s cell phone coincidentally starts ringing.
It turns out to be Jing Rong calling. Frank, who is angry,
grabs the phone and throws it onto the floor. He even scolds
Shan Mei: “Crying over a man who doesn’t love you is the most
useless thing to do!” A heartbroken Shan Mei sobs widely and
yells at Frank for not understanding her feelings of lost.
Frank is angry but he reveals his true feelings and tells her
that he has been without a parent since he was a child. So how
can he not know what the feeling of lost is all about? If
losing means to give up your life and not continue living, then
he would have been dead hundreds of times already!
A cool night breeze blows as Shan Mei walks along
the streets all by herself. She remembers that the fortune
teller had told her that she will enjoy the good times when the
bad times are over in her future. Although the future is still
out of her grasp now, but when she thinks back to how much she
has sacrificed over the years and then think back to the words
that Frank had said, the optimistic Shan Mei’s mood seems to
have calmed down somewhat. It seems that she can really leave
her wounded heart behind.
Although Frank’s occasional kindness seems to have
helped Shan Mei but his personality is still hard to change. He
takes advantage of the time when he is supposed to be at work to
go to sing karaoke. Not only did he not pay the bill but he
even pushes it off to Shan Mei causing Shan Mei to be taken to
the police station. Although, the police are able to help solve
the money part of the problem in the end but after returning
home, Shan Mei and Frank both confront each other. Frank
truthfully acknowledges that it was a trick that he played on
Shan Mei and in her anger, Shan Mei packs up her bag and
leaves. At the dark of night when all is quiet, Frank couldn’t
help but feel guilty. He finds Shan Mei in the park and
convinces her to return home.
Although there is temporarily nothing going on
between the two of them, but Frank is still worried that Shan
Mei would not have any money to repay the debt. In the end, he
drags Shan Mei along to Ah Xing’s cleaning company to work there
temporarily and earn money. On the day when he and Shan Mei are
going to a mansion to do work, they broke an extremely expensive
antique vase…
The moment when the antique vase was falling to the
ground, Frank and Shan Mei both extended their hands to try to
catch it, but because their hands accidentally touched, they
both panicked and the vase broke into pieces after it crashed to
the ground. Before this happened, Ah Xing had specially pointed
out this expensive vase and told Frank over and over again to be
careful. As if hearing Ah Xing’s voice in his ear, Frank can
only stare blankly at the broken pieces of vase on the ground.
A strong premonition rises within his heart. This ugly vase is
now broken so this means that the rest of his life is ruined!
Of course, Shan Mei, who is at the scene of the
crime, is also frightened speechless. She doesn’t know what to
do and they both get into an argument on whose fault it is. In
the end, they both come to a consensus that they will have to
face the problem together!
After tossing and turning all night long, Shan Mei
regains her reasoning. She knows that the only thing she can do
right now is to hurry up and find a job to earn some money. On
the other hand, afraid of pulling Ah Xing into this mess, Frank
and Ah Xing goes to the secretary who helps manage the mansion
for the owner to apologize. Who would have thought that the
secretary would tell them that the vase is fake.
Frank is overjoyed after hearing this news. At
first, he was going to tell Shan Mei this good news when he gets
home but Shan Mei starts yelling at him for not working
diligently the minute he walks through the door. In this anger,
Frank did not tell Shan Mei the truth about the vase…
Episode 4:
Afraid of getting Ah Xing in trouble, Frank goes to
Secretary Cui, who manages the mansion, to apologize. Who would
have thought that the expensive Ming Dynasty vase is actually a
fake. At first, Frank was going to tell Shan Mei this good news
but unexpectedly, Shan Mei thought that the vase costs 5 million
dollars…
She doesn’t know how many years she will have to
spend to repay the price of the antique vase, but Shan Mei
believes that her hands can do anything. As long as she works
diligently, she will be able to earn money doing any type of
work. Each day, Shan Mei would put on a costume carrying a big
sun on her head and hand fliers out on the street. One day, she
bumps into her nephew, Xiao Bei, who is in elementary school,
being bullied by some older students at the end of an alley.
Wearing her costume, Shan Mei jumps down from the sky and took
care of the bullies for Xiao Bei. Who knew that this is a trap
set up by Xiao Bei to confirm that the person underneath the
costume is his Aunt who was supposed to have left for Hang
Zhou… An experienced Xiao Bei blackmails his own aunt and
orders Shan Mei to continue to give him allowance money like she
used to do. Otherwise, he would return home and expose to the
family that she has already came back. Shan Mei has no choice
but to adhere to Xiao Bei’s threats. She would often bribe Xiao
Bei with good food and nice clothing while she dresses poorly
and starves herself until her stomach hurts…
One day, an exhausted Shan Mei bumps into Secretary
Cui coming to the garage to buy a car from Frank. Shan Mei
mistakes Secretary Cui for coming to ask for money for the vase
and in his haste, Frank uses a brick to injure himself in hopes
of covering up the truth about the fake vase. Unexpectedly,
Shan Mei believes it all to be true and starts to take care of
the wounded Frank. Seeing how Shan Mei is so easy to deceive,
Frank deliberately says that he is hungry and wants to eat
something. He names six menus but Xiao Bei just took all the
money from Shan Mei and so she doesn’t have any money to buy
anything for Frank to eat. As she walks around, she is worrying
over where to get food. She catches a glimpse of the blood
donation center at the hospital and Shan Mei suddenly gets an
inspiration to donate blood for bread and milk.
Ke Na, a kind volunteer worker at the blood donation
center, sees that Shan Mei really wants an extra serving of
bread and so she gives it to Shan Mei. Taking the bread and
milk home, Shan Mei was harshly scolded by Frank and he starts
to treat her like a servant after that…
On the other hand, Ah Xing, after being rejected by
Ling Long whom he has a crush on, is on the verge of trying to
nurse his wounded heart. Unexpectedly, Ling Long would actually
show up in front of him one day. In her soft-spoken voice with
a tender womanly look, Ling Long invites Ah Xing out to dinner.
Ah Xing is ecstatic and naively thinks that Ling Long is willing
to give him a chance to go out with her. When he shows up, he
finds out that Ling Long has another reason for inviting him out
to dinner. Ling Long, who wants to marry into a wealthy family,
knows that the only son of her company’s CEO, Jin En Hao, has
returned to the country. She doesn’t know when he would go into
the company to work and so she doesn’t have a chance of getting
close to him. However, she accidentally finds out from Shan Mei
that Frank and Ah Xing regularly goes to En Hao’s mansion to do
jobs and so she wants Ah Xing to help her keep an eye out on En
Hao’s schedule and disclose his whereabouts to her. However, Ah
Xing’s refusal makes Ling Long angry. In her anger, she makes
it clear that she can’t even be friends with Ah Xing and tells
him not to show up in front of her from now on.
With a long face, Ah Xing comes looking for Frank.
Having been working day after day, Shan Mei has a really ashen
look on her face and a concerned Ah Xing asks Shan Mei why she
doesn’t look so good. Shan Mei says that she has been working
multiple jobs lately and the topic of their conversation
switches over to the vase. Frank tries to stop them several
times and in the end, Ah Xing accidentally reveals that they
only need to pay 5 million dollars for the fake vase. When Shan
Mei hears that the expensive vase is only a fake vase, she gets
extremely furious. Frank doesn’t know how to get out of this
and being a smart-ass, he tries to cast the blame away from
himself. In her anger, Shan Mei runs out the door and faints.
Frank and Ah Xing frantically take Shan Mei to the
hospital. From Ling Long, Frank finds out that Shan Mei is
under nourished and only then does he slightly recall that Shan
Mei really hasn’t eaten much of anything over the past couple of
weeks. Moreover, she goes to donate her blood for food for him
due to his unreasonable demands. At this moment, Frank feels
extremely guilty over not explaining the whole truth of the fake
vase to Shan Mei.
Shan Mei suffers from a high fever on the hospital
bed. After a long time of high fever and unconsciousness, Shan
Mei suddenly awakens. She has only one thought in her head and
that is she wants to go home. She doesn’t want to see Frank
ever again. Moreover, when a person is sick, their hearts and
minds are extremely weak. Shan Mei wants to apologize to her
parents. She wants to go home. She really wants to go home…
Episode 5:
Shan Mei suffers from a high fever on the hospital
bed. After a long time of high fever and unconsciousness, Shan
Mei suddenly awakens. All of a sudden, she runs out of the
hospital on her barefoot. She has only one thought in her head
and that is she wants to go home…
In order to make amends, Frank bought lots of
nutritious foods in hopes that Shan Mei would quickly regain her
strength back. Of course, he also wants to make amends for his
own lies. Unfortunately, Shan Mei did not appreciate his
kindness at all. At first Frank was angry that Shan Mei is
using her own health to fight with him but later, he finds out
from Ling Long that Shan Mei really didn’t have any appetite to
eat or swallow anything. Also, when Shan Mei is sick, the food
that she wants to eat the most is those made by her mom! Frank
is stumped. This is really a big problem. Since Shan Mei is
not able to go home now, he really doesn’t know where he is
going to go to get the food that Shan Mei’s mother makes.
Frank replaces Shan Mei at her job with wearing the
sun outfit and handing out fliers, only then did he realize how
exhausting this job is. One day, while Frank was dressed up in
the outfit and handing out fliers, Xiao Bei runs up to him
carrying his schoolbag and mistakes Frank for being Shan Mei.
Without any trace of manners, Xiao Bei taps Frank on the
shoulder and asks him to hand out some money. Frank drags Xiao
Bei into the alley and questions him on his relationship with
Shan Mei. Then Frank’s sharp eye discovers Xiao Bei’s lunchbox
and he takes advantage of this opportunity to take the lunchbox
away. He also helped Shan Mei to get revenge on Xiao Bei for
blackmailing her.
After Frank gives the lunchbox to Shan Mei, he
sincere apologizes to her. Shan Mei, who was planning not to
forgive Frank no matter what, was touched by his sudden show of
sincerity. After Frank leaves, Shan Mei opens up the lunchbox
and after one bite, tears start rolling down her eyes. Although
she doesn’t know where the lunchbox came from, but it is filled
with the flavors that her mother makes.
On the other hand, although Ah Xing appears to have
rejected Ling Long but he still keeps her request in his mind.
He really did steal En Hao’s company’s Secretary Cui’s PDA. He
naively thinks that the PDA would have En Hao’s schedule in it
and gives it to Ling Long. However, Ling Long doesn’t believe
him at all. They both get into an argument and accidentally
break the PDA. Ah Xing feels extremely guilty and decides to go
and apologize to Secretary Cui. When Frank finds out, he goes
with Ah Xing to apologize together. Frank even secretly goes to
find Ling Long and criticizes her for not taking Ah Xing’s
feelings for her kindly. Even if they can’t be friends, she
shouldn’t be stepping all over other people’s feelings. Each
one of Frank’s words resound loudly causing Ling Long to be
ashamed of her actions.
Starting to eat again, Shan Mei’s health finally
makes some progress. Frank learns that Shan Mei is slowly
gaining her strength back and doesn’t know why he is so happy
about it. However, he did not give much thought to the origin
of these happy feelings. Frank thought that he and Shan Mei are
only two strangers who accidentally are living under the same
roof. It is too early to even say that they are friends. He
only wants to make amends for his own lies. However, this is
all because Frank is not aware that his feelings for Shan Mei
have changed. Before he is aware of this change, they are both
still arguing every day. In any case, with regards to love,
there is someone whom he has admired for a long time and that is
his elementary classmate, Ke Na.
Ke Na, who is a dancer, is like a small angel when
she wears her white dancing dress but there has been no news of
her after she transferred schools. Frank has missed her very
much. One day, Frank bumps into his elementary classmate, Da
Tou, who he has also lost touched with since elementary school.
In the past, his family was extremely poor and they had to move
away in the dark of the night. Years later, he is now standing
in front of Frank, very nicely dressed and is some big company’s
high ranking manager. After Da Tou shows off his own grades and
his good fortune, the topic changes and he reveals that they
will be holding a reunion for their elementary class. Frank is
overjoyed when he hears this news because he knows that this
could possibly be the only chance he has in seeing Ke Na again
after graduation. However, things are never as one would wish
them to be. One night, Da Tou suddenly calls to inform Frank
that because they couldn’t decide on a location, they might have
to cancel the reunion…
Episode 6:
From the day that Frank heard the news about the
reunion from Da Tou, he has been very excited every day. All he
thinks about is seeing Ke Na again at the reunion. Those
several days, all he and Ah Xing talk about are things related
to the reunion and have completely forgotten how to make Shan
Mei’s life miserable. What about Shan Mei who has fully
recovered? She returns to her days of working and making
money. After all, making money is her only goal now.
Coincidentally, one day when she is handing out fliers in a
street corner, she bumps into En Hao. She finds a chance to
invite him out to eat and also encourages him not to give up
during their dinner. Using herself as an example, she would
often ridicule herself. En Hao gets attracted to Shan Mei by
her optimistic and carefree personality. She shows her true
self in front of En Hao without holding anything back.
Unexpectedly, this would open up En Hao’s feelings toward Shan
Mei…
One night, Da Tou suddenly calls to inform Frank
that because they couldn’t decide on a location, they might have
to cancel the reunion. After hearing this news, Frank is
shocked and couldn’t accept it. Frank agitatedly tells himself,
no matter what, they have to find a location to hold the
reunion. He suddenly remembers that Ah Xing does cleaning for a
lot of mansions. He quickly tries to come up with an idea and
attempts to persuade Ah Xing to let them borrow En Hao’s mansion
to hold the reunion. But Ah Xing refuses to agree no matter
what. Seeing how his opportunity to see Ke Na again is going up
in smoke, Frank anxiously begs Shan Mei for her help in hopes
that she can help him convince Ah Xing to agree to his request.
Shan Mei doesn’t understand why Frank is so stubborn
in holding this reunion. Why do they have to secretly use
someone else’s mansion to hold this gathering? The suggestion
that Frank made, Shan Mei would of course not agree to it.
After Frank lies to Ah Xing, they reconcile and Ah
Xing finally agrees to Frank’s request.
Up until now, Frank has actually stood up for Ah
Xing. On the surface, Ah Xing appears to have rejected Ling
Long but he still keeps her request in his mind. Frank even
secretly goes to find Ling Long and criticizes her for not
taking Ah Xing’s feelings for her kindly. Even if they can’t be
friends, she shouldn’t be stepping all over other people’s
feelings. Each one of Frank’s words resound loudly causing Ling
Long to be ashamed of her actions.
From the beginning, Shan Mei has snorted at Frank’s
request. For a reunion, he must borrow someone else’s mansion
to hold the gathering no matter what, isn’t that called being
vain? Perhaps she couldn’t get rid of Frank’s constant
pestering or perhaps she understands Frank’s feelings of wanting
to thank a person and no doubt, perhaps she is also curious as
to who this girl that he is so infatuated with is, Shan Mei
agrees to help Frank on the day of his reunion.
Filled with joy, Frank prepares for the reunion.
However, because he doesn’t have the money for it, he starts to
go after Shan Mei. He actually goes behind Shan Mei’s back and
goes to her job and gets a salary advancement on her behalf.
On the day of the reunion, Frank appears inside the
mansion with the image of a successive businessman. The
classmates come one after the other and Frank uses the solemn
face of mansion’s owner to greet everyone. Everyone is very
envious of Frank’s current situation while Frank is anticipating
Ke Na’s arrival. Seeing how the reunion is coming to an end,
but Ke Na has still not appeared.
As for Shan Mei? For the whole day, she has been
dragged to the mansion to work as a servant. Serving food,
washing dishes, all because Frank said a whole bunch of lies
which made Shan Mei softhearted and agreed to help him. Without
a clue that her salary has been advanced, will Shan Mei find out
soon? What kind of trouble will Frank get into by advancing
Shan Mei’s salary and feeling guilty about it? What will change
between their relationship?
Episode 7:
After the car accident, Frank needs someone to take
care of him. Although Shan Mei is not willing, but as far as
she can see, she is the only one who is able to take care of
Frank, who has a broken leg. However, she is a girl and he is a
guy after all and things get complicated when he has to use the
bathroom.
After Frank was injured, he wasn’t able to work.
Since her salary was advanced by Frank, Shan Mei was given a
bonus by Ke Na. However, the minute that she gets her hands on
this bonus money, it gets taken away by her brother and
sister-in-law, who found out from Xiao Bei that Shan Mei has
returned to the country.
As a result, Frank and Shan Mei’s expenses are
pressed for money. Gradually, their life starts to fall into
desperate times. When they can no longer stand the hunger in
their stomach, they would squat in front of someone’s mansion
door and stare at the delicious can food that the rich man’s dog
is eating. Their saliva would drip without any dignity at all.
Frank takes Shan Mei to sing karaoke so that they can forget
their hunger. Just when they are confined in this sorrowful
state, Valentine’s Day will soon arrive.
What does Valentine’s Day have anything to do with
this couple? That’s because there will be a big hugging
competition!
Yup, it is said that if one attends the Valentine’s
Day long-lasting hugging competition, the couple who wins the
grand prize will win $100,000. Frank becomes greedy over the
prize money and he immediately persuades Shan Mei to disguise as
a pair of lovers to attend this hugging competition. Hearing
Frank’s suggestion, Shan Mei is bewildered. Pretend to be
lovers? Shan Mei is totally not willing to comply but for
money… No… she absolutely will not betray her self-esteem for
money… but for the money… No… no matter what she does, she
couldn’t possibly reduce to pretending to be lovers with Frank
Cai, could she?
Deep down Shan Mei is still struggling with her
decision but Frank is already dragging her to the venue of the
competition.
Has the lovers this year become more daring or has
there been more poor people this year? It is a clear and
cloudless competition day and there are dozens of pairs of
lovers that show up. Each pair that accepted the interview
displayed their lovingly closeness to one another. The host
hands over a microphone and starts to inquire about the details
of Frank and Shan Mei’s relationship. This type of face to face
questioning is no problem for Frank. He is cool and calm as he
answers the host’s questions and talk about his relationship
with Shan Mei. In the end, he forgets himself and starts to
weave a big story over their love relationship. Shan Mei has no
choice but to follow along and put in a few words. After the
whistle is blown, the hugging competition officially begins.
Ling Long clearly heard the speech that Frank was
preaching to her and so she goes to Ah Xing’s company to ask him
a whole bunch of questions which he has no clue about. At this
time, the news of the hugging competition is being broadcasted
on TV. Ah Xing and Ling Long couldn’t believe their eyes… Frank
and Zeng Shan Mei… when did they start going out?
In the end, they both missed the grand prize by just
a little bit. They won second place and the prize was a
candlelight dinner for two. That night, they both enjoyed a
rare candlelight dinner. Don’t know if it is the right
atmosphere or what but this dinner almost had the feel of a
date. Unfortunately a poor person’s stomach is not made for a
rich man’s food as Frank immediately gets a stomachache after
eating the food and has to rush to the bathroom.
The activity’s of that day was shown on the news.
Frank and Shan Mei’s interview was broadcasted over the TV for
the whole country to see. Of course, Shui Liang and Huo Shu saw
the broadcast… so Shan Mei has returned? Why didn’t she contact
the family if she returned? No matter what the reason is Shui
Liang is furious. In a flash, Shui Liang jumps up in anger and
everyone is trying to persuade her not to get too agitated.
Unexpectedly, Shui Liang’s complexion turns white and she
faints…!
Episode 8:
Frank and Shan Mei are kneeling in front of the
door. The family tells them to come into the house and after
debating, they agree to let them rest for the night and question
them tomorrow.
In the quiet night, Shui Liang urges Huo Shu to
forgive Shan Mei. Shui Liang hits the mark with what Huo Shu is
thinking and tells him to forgive their one and only daughter.
As for Shan Mei and Frank? They were forced to sleep in the
same room. One minute, Frank was comforting Shan Mei to not
think too much over Huo Shu’s anger and the next minute, they
immediately realized that they are stuck in the same room
together. They start arguing who should be sleeping on the bed
and fell asleep in this quarreling atmosphere.
The next day, a groggy Shan Mei wakes up.
Unexpectedly, Frank is sleeping right next to her and moreover,
he is hugging her in a very indecent position. Frank puts on a
face as if he is about to kiss her and Shan Mei tries to stop
him. She angrily slaps Frank across the face and he immediately
wakens from the pain. He asks her why she hit him and they get
into an argument early in the morning right away. In a little
bit, Xiao Bei comes to knock on the door to tell them to come
out for breakfast.
After a night of confusion, at the table this
moment, the whole family is eating peacefully. Huo Shu seems to
have gotten over his anger and Shan Mei gets the family’s
forgiveness.
One day, brother and sister-in-law show up at the
car dealership where Frank is working. Brother thought that
Frank is the owner of the car dealership and he greedily asks
Frank if he can give have a drive on the Porsche. Frank is
unable to reject and can only watch as brother and sister-in-law
happily drives the Porsche away. Frank, who is afraid something
would happen, is sitting in the back seat. Who would have
thought that they almost got into a car accident. Fortunately,
fate is on their side and everyone inside the car is fine. The
new Porsche is also okay.
On the other hand, while Shan Mei is worrying over
her relationship with her family, En Hao asks Shan Mei for her
help. They go to an orphanage and En Hao’s feelings for Shan
Mei are growing deeper and deeper. That night, after leaving
the orphanage, En Hao tells Shan Mei the mystery behind his
life. He also confesses his feelings to Shan Mei and asks her
to serious give their relationship some thought.
Because Shan Mei didn’t take her cell phone with
her, she did not know that her parents including Frank are
waiting for her to have dinner. Frank arrives at the Zeng house
and has dinner with Shan Mei’s family. This is a good night and
Frank feels the warmth that Shan Mei’s parents are showing him.
Her parents regard Frank as their own son which makes him very
touched. Frank starts to feel bad about all the lies that he
has said. Huo Shu even gives Frank the tin box of all the
memories that he has kept of Shan Mei since she was a child to
Frank. He tells Frank to give Shan Mei a whole life of
happiness. Frank immediately promises Huo Shu. He knows that
it is sincerely what he wants to do.
Frank finally reunites with Ke Na, whom he thinks
about all day and night. Coincidentally, he finds out that Ke
Na is the boss of the cafe shop where Shan Mei is working at.
Frank is shy and surprised since he didn’t expect Ke Na to
remember him. Frank immediately sticks to the coffee shop to
help out Ke Na.
Ling Long racks her brains trying to write a love
letter to En Hao. Unexpectedly this is found out by her manager
and her manager fires her making Ling Long lose her job. Ling
Long goes to Shan Mei crying that the general manager is
heartless. After hearing this news, Shan Mei is angry and she
rushes over to the general manager’s office to defend Ling
Long. She barges in and is shocked to discover that the general
manager is En Hao. While Shan Mei is in shock, Frank, who is
helping Ke Na to make a deliver to the office building, sees
Shan Mei and En Hao talking. From afar, it seems that En Hao’s
actions toward Shan Mei appear to be naturally intimate. Don’t
know why, but Frank feels that his heart is very uncomfortable…
could it be that love has already quietly arrived?
Episode 9:
Frank is puzzled as to how Shan Mei knows Jin En Hao.
He pesters Shan Mei for half a day and as a result, they both
start arguing again. Shan Mei feels the animosity that Frank
has towards En Hao and her intuition tells her that Frank is
envious of En Hao’s wealth. Anyway, Frank only sees the surface
of it all and doesn’t know that En Hao is actually an adopted
son. Abandoned by his birth parents at an orphanage, En Hao is
not born with a silver spoon in his mouth as Frank thinks. En
Hao is just fortunate that he becomes a wealthy person is what
Shan Mei thinks. In any case, after she understands that En Hao
loves photography but is willing to give it up because of his
father, when Frank verbally attacks En Hao, she unconsciously
steps forward and defends En Hao.
Frank is indeed envious but it is more than that… he
is actually jealous!
Frank goes back to the coffee shop and talks to Ke
Na about their childhood… because of Ke Na’s words, Frank
suddenly starts to understand and realize that the feelings that
he has for Ke Na is not love at all. Ke Na invites Frank to
dinner and reminisces the old days but Frank has other thoughts
on his mind…
The most important thing right now is how to prevent
Shan Mei from having dinner with En Hao is what Frank is
thinking about.
Yes, Shan Mei agreed to have dinner with En Hao.
When Frank finds out that Shan Mei will be going out to dinner
with En Hao, he deliberately invites Ke Na out. Throughout the
whole dinner, Frank is acting very childish which makes Shan Mei
extremely furious. This leads to another verbal battle between
them. Frank doesn’t know that actually Shan Mei is really
mindful of his relationship with Ke Na. Shan Mei knows that
Frank has admired Ke Na since childhood. Their reunion after
they have grown up, will it lead to sparkles of love between
them? Shan Mei is divided in her thoughts. On one hand, she
feels that this is none of her business. On the other hand, she
couldn’t help but conjure up Frank and Ke Na’s relationship.
Shan Mei starts to worry that she is overly concerned over
Frank. Are Frank’s feelings for Ke Na really growing? Honestly
speaking, even Frank believes that he will only love Ke Na in
this lifetime but after reuniting with Ke Na, he finds out that
what he likes is the feeling that he has in his crush for Ke Na
and that is not true love. Suddenly, the regret that he has
felt inside of him for many years is finally released. Frank
understands that at this time, he only regards Ke Na as a friend
who shares childhood memories with him.
As for En Hao’s feelings for Shan Mei? At first, En
Hao only regarded Shan Mei as a friend, but later, he really
starts to like this innocent and kind hearted girl. All the
girls that are on his side only regard him as the second
generation successor of an enterprise and constantly tries to
get his good impressions. But Shan Mei is different. She is
really genuine, just like her name. He invites Shan Mei out to
dinner because he has confessed his feelings to her earlier and
he hopes to be able to start a relationship with her.
Originally, Frank and Shan Mei are on bad terms with
each other after the dinner but because of one mouse, their
silence is broken up when they returned home!! Yup, scared of
mice, they both think of all ways possible to get rid of it but
they were still not able to do anything about it ~ it is also
because they are afraid that they are forced to hand over their
warm house to let the mouse sleep in it. They both ended up in
the front yard, talking… believing that Shan Mei has fallen
asleep, Frank finally says the words that are kept within his
heart: Actually, if we continue to keep things the way it is
between us now, it wouldn’t be so bad. Am I hearing things?
Did this guy really say this? This night’s sky reveals a
romantic atmosphere…
Episode 10:
Shan Mei, who needs money, mistakenly goes to the
wrong company and applies to be a beer girl.
Shan Mei over simplifies the job of a beer girl.
She originally thought that all she had to do is sell beer at
different locations but she never imagined that all the places
where she has to go work are very complicated. It is
unavoidable that she will meet crazy drunkards or perverts at
these places. One day, Shan Mei is having a difficult time with
one of the guests. Coincidentally, Frank witnesses how Shan Mei
is being bullied by the guest and taken advantage of. Frank
lost his patience and clenching his fists, he is about to go up
and teach this guy a lesson. Unexpectedly, an expensive Benz,
stops in front of the door and like a Prince Charming, Jin En
Hao shows up and takes Shan Mei away. Frank, who is hiding
under the dim light post in the dusk of night, can only watch as
Shan Mei gets into the car. The Benz is driving farther and
farther away until it disappears around the corner of the
street. Frank stands in the original spot with no where to go.
This is the first time in Frank’s life that he feels his heart
ache painfully.
After En Hao takes Shan Mei away, he asks her in the
car with concern in his voice whether she is hurt by the drunk’s
pushing around. Shan Mei is still shaken from her encounter but
she is remembering the familiar figure that she saw from across
the street. Shan Mei speculates that the shadow of the person
whom she saw looks very much like Frank. If it is Frank, then
he must have seen her working as a beer girl? If he saw, then
why didn’t he come to help her when she is being bullied by the
drunken guest?
Thinking about this point, Shan Mei suddenly starts
to feel somewhat sad… but the fact is that Frank really didn’t
just let it slip by him!
The two drunken guys are currently smoking on the
curbside and Frank goes up to them and punch them. He wants
them to go back and apologize to Shan Mei. Unexpectedly, during
this shuffle, the lucky charm that Shan Mei gave to Frank fell
out. The two guys go up and keep on stepping on the lucky charm
which makes Frank extremely angry. Frank rushes toward them but
he is no match for these two guys and gets beaten up by them.
A wounded Frank returns home and Shan Mei doesn’t
know what happened. She is worried about his injuries but
Frank’s coldness hurt her. This makes Shan Mei certain that
Frank knows about her being a beer girl and she mistakes him for
doing nothing to help her.
That night, Shan Mei is hurt and is not able to fall
asleep the whole night.
Shan Mei asks the mouse in the cage that they are
raising, why she is so sad? Why does she have to care what
Frank says?
The next day, Ling Long comes to thank Shan Mei for
her help in putting a good word for her in front of En Hao. She
finds out from Frank that Shan Mei and En Hao had dinner
together… this is a big problem!! Feeling that Shan Mei has
betrayed her, Ling Long did not listen to Shan Mei’s
explanations and decides to break off her friendship with Shan
Mei.
Frank receives a call from the car dealership and
arrives at En Hao’s company to take full responsibility all by
himself. Because of Shan Mei, En Hao decides not to hold Frank
to any responsibilities. However, when Frank is about to leave,
En Hao asks him whether he likes Shan Mei? Frank says: It is
none of your business. The confrontation between these two guys
are about to begin.
One day, Frank bumps into Xiao Bei and he invites
Frank to celebrate Shan Mei’s birthday. He also mentioned that
Shan Mei has never really celebrated any birthdays since she was
young… Hearing this, although Frank doesn’t want to admit it
but deep down he is already determined to give Shan Mei a
birthday that she has never had.
However, is Frank going to be able to use Shan Mei’s
birthday to confess his feelings to her? Will Shan Mei accept
Frank’s feelings? What obstacle will En Hao’s obvious pursuit
of Shan Mei bring for her and Frank?
Episode 11:
Shan Mei comes to look for Ah Xing and they had a
peaceful chat. Ah Xing said that Frank who appears to be a
rascal and always getting in trouble is actually a very loyal
and affectionate friend. He is actually very considerate, kind
hearted and is a good person. These words make Shan Mei think
about Frank in a new way. Actually, he is not really that bad
and it also awakens the memories of all the things that he has
done for her. It turns out that all along, he is just harsh in
the way he talks and really doesn’t mean it.
As for Frank… he isn’t indifferent. Unconsciously,
he has changed due to Shan Mei’s influence. After he decides to
truly put his foot down and solve his debt problems, plus the
pending arrival of Shan Mei’s birthday, Frank doubles his
efforts to work hard to make money. Whether it is following his
elementary classmate, Da Tou, to perform magic tricks or clean
the bathrooms… he is doing all this because of the girl that he
loves – Shan Mei. He wants to give Shan Mei happiness, wants to
help her shoulder the responsibilities that she carries, and
wants her to understand the feeling that being able to do things
for the girl that he loves is a blessing.
One day, Xiao Bei arrives at the department store
where Shan Mei works to remind her to go home for dinner. This
is because the whole family is going to throw a party for Shan
Mei who has never celebrated her birthday before. Xiao Bei even
deliberately reveals that Frank might be buying her a present.
With anticipation in her heart, Shan Mei finally understands why
Frank kept on reminding her to go home for dinner earlier. Shan
Mei finally understands now.
On the other hand, holding the money that he has
worked hard earning, Frank chooses Shan Mei’s first birthday
present ever. Just when he is anticipating giving Shan Mei an
unforgettable birthday, Ke Na calls him. Because Ke Na was
injured in an accident, under Frank’s encouragement, she decides
to go to a dance classroom to teach little kids to dance. Frank
goes with Ke Na to apply for the position and when they are both
leaving the dance classroom, Ke Na’s old foot injury recurs…
Returning home, Shan Mei appears especially happy in
the company of her whole family. But it is obvious to everyone
that Shan Mei’s happiness comes from her anticipation of Frank’s
arrival. Shan Mei feels that this could possibly be the
happiest moment of her life!! Time passes by every minute and
second, but Frank has still not arrived. He repeatedly reminded
me to come home for dinner… He couldn’t possibly not show up!
This is what Shan Mei’s heart is thinking…
When her expectation fails, this world seems to have
lost its light… When will the happiness that is suppose to
belong to me, truly be mine? Will Frank arrive in time? Will
Shan Mei be able to honestly face her feelings?
Discontinued.
