The story begins when Zhuang JiaWei and his girlfriend Kaiqi, join a tour group led by tour guide, Fu Xiaoyue. Zhuang JiaWei is a sentimental and romantic young man, who has been dating his girlfriend for 7 years. Fu Xiaoyue is a young lady who is idealistic in love, and has a boyfriend she has been seeing for more than a year. She had wanted to take the chance to give her boyfriend a surprise during this tour assignment, because he is also traveling for work. Thus, Xiaoyue hides herself in her boyfriend’s hotel room, planning to give him a pleasant surprise. However, to her shock, he walks into the room with his arm around his new girlfriend. Xiaoyue is caught by surprise and does not know what to do. Her first instinct is to flee the scene without being discovered. The only way for her to get away is to climb out of the balcony like a fugitive. Just as she is about to escape, she is discovered by Zhuang JiaWei in the adjoining hotel room! Alerted by the commotion, Xiaoyue’s boyfriend walks out onto the balcony and sees her caught in an awkward position between two balconies with her face flushed with embarrassment. Soon after the incident, he takes the opportunity to suggest that they break up.
A heart-broken Xiaoyue vents her frustration on Zhuang JiaWei, which also results in Kaiqi breaking up with the latter. Therefore, Xiaoyue and JiaWei become enemies. On their way back from the tour, they happen to be on a tour bus with criminals on board. As their bus gets hijacked and speeds dangerously along the highways, Xiaoyue has an epiphany as she sees her life flash before her eyes. In the moment of danger, she realises that she has never experienced true romance and her life may end any minute before she does. Her heart is filled with regret and her eyes well up with tears. The sentimental JiaWei is moved by her tears and impulsively promises that he will marry her if they survive this ordeal! Their fellow passengers on board overhear this and are delighted to be witnesses for this display of romance amidst grave danger. The criminals are subdued in the end. Suddenly, JiaWei and Xiaoyue are thrown into the limelight and become the centre of the media’s attention. Headlines like “Romance blooms on hijacked bus” are popping up everywhere. The public who loves soap-drama is lapping up news of their progress like a hungry fan club. The two young strangers are stuck on a rollercoaster ride they cannot seem to get off...
JiaWei and Xiaoyue get married after dating for 7 days. They share a happy marriage but are somehow unable to say, “I love you” to each other! Perhaps their time together was too short. Perhaps they are both too jaded to believe that true romance exists in this world. Gradually, they start to discover that they do not understand each other well at all, especially when Xiaoyue encounters her hard-to-please mother-in-law, Fengjiao.

In recent years, she has handed the business down to her children and retired behind the scenes. When Xiaoyue marries JiaWei and joins the family, war between the elder womenfolk and her is declared. JiaWei is put in an awkward position between all of them. To make matters worse, JiaWei’s ex-girlfriend Kaiqi joins in the chaos to try to separate him and Xiaoyue. Even though Xiaoyue manages to expose Kaiqi’s schemes several times, Kaiqi refuses to give up the fight. With no other choice, Kaiqi resorts to announcing that she is pregnant with JiaWei’s child! Fengjiao sees her son deeply troubled, and begs Xiaoyue to leave JiaWei because she cannot bear to see him tormented anymore. Xiaoyue is extremely upset, but decides to divorce JiaWei.
