Before leaving, she left him a few words: if Zhou Jie-Fang marries off his younger daughter Zhou Xiao-Hua, she will come back and marry him. Zhou Jie-Fang does not want the happiness of his twilight years to slip away, so he calls a family meeting and has Xiao-Hua's elder sister Zhou Xiao-Hong set an example, urging Xiao-Hua to hurry up and find a partner. Zhou Xiao-Hong is married to Li Quan, an associate professor of archaeology who studies oracle bone script, and in old Zhou's eyes this marriage is a glory. In the end, driven into a corner, Zhou Xiao-Hua declares that she already has a boyfriend.
Zhou Xiao-Hua really does have a boyfriend, but her beloved, the outstanding young lawyer Guan Yu, is serving a sentence for fleeing the scene of an accident. At her wit's end, Zhou Xiao-Hua hires Ma Wen-Jie online to pose as her boyfriend and meet her father. Yet this feckless rogue Ma Wen-Jie makes a complete fool of himself on his very first visit, and even sends a guest who has come to make trouble, Feng A-Cai, to the hospital with an alcohol allergy.

Ma Wen-Jie exploits this and extorts Zhou Xiao-Hua at every turn, demanding payment for everything he does. To keep the act going, Zhou Xiao-Hua has no choice but to swallow her anger.
