The remarriage life of the male protagonist Li Wansheng (played by Zhou Xiaobin), an employee at a travel company who is divorced and has a son named Qiangqiang (played by Dong Bowen), and the female protagonist Zhou Yan (played by Yan Ni), a nurse, is warm and full of interest. Li Wansheng: knowledgeable, considerate, and gentle; Zhou Yan: simple, sincere, and enthusiastic, embodying a modern person's rare optimism and persistence. Although they are in a remarried family, the two remain close and loving, preparing to furnish a new home and looking forward to a beautiful life. Female model Lin Shanshan (played by Wang Yang Meizi) is a patient Zhou Yan once rescued. Lin Shanshan, who suffered from acute gastric perforation due to excessive drinking and binge eating after a breakup, was admitted to the hospital where Zhou Yan works. During their time together, Lin Shanshan, who appears cold and somewhat depressed, is gradually moved by Zhou Yan's sincerity and enthusiasm and becomes her friend. Through Zhou Yan, she meets psychologist Zhang Ke (played by Guo Haolun) and begins her emotional journey between her ex-boyfriend Chang Yuan (played by Wang Wei) and Zhang Ke. In this process, psychologist Zhang Ke unconsciously plays a subtle role in the lives of Lin Shanshan and Zhou Yan. As the story develops, Zhang Ke gradually becomes an important figure helping Zhou Yan save Li Wansheng, who suffers from serious psychological issues, and is touched by Zhou Yan's dedication to Li Wansheng, thus developing feelings for her. However, given a psychologist's professional ethics, which forbids emotional entanglements with clients, he is caught in a severe conflict between human nature and professional ethics, facing a painful choice. Zhou Fang (played by Lin Yongjian) and Yang Lizhi (played by Zhou Dongqi) – Zhou Yan's brother and sister-in-law. This middle-aged couple, under pressure from sending their daughter Zhou You (played by Qiao Qiao) to study abroad, sees husband Zhou Fang working tirelessly to earn money, inadvertently neglecting his wife Yang Lizhi. Furthermore, his close ties with "soulmate" He Xiaoyu exacerbate the tension in their already strained family relationship. Zhou Yan gets along well with her brother's family, but since marrying Li Wansheng, in order to improve her younger sister's not-so-affluent life, Zhou Fang often supports Zhou Yan, raising concerns for sister-in-law Yang Lizhi about Zhou Yan's happiness and adding to tensions with Zhou Fang. Additionally, their daughter Zhou You's individuality is a significant concern for Yang Lizhi. The climax of the plot occurs with the arrival of Li Wansheng's ex-wife Chen Rongrong (played by Fu Yujia), which disrupts the lives of the protagonists Li Wansheng and Zhou Yan. Li Wansheng continually grapples with his ex-wife over the issue of raising their son Qiangqiang. Coupled with the betrayal from a friend in a business partnership outside of work, getting laid off from his job at the travel company due to bidding issues, and the burden of a significant monthly mortgage for their new home... All these pressures from urban life cause this farmer's son, who once struggled to rise from the mountains, to accumulate too many burdens subconsciously. Gradually, the long-hidden traumas of his rural childhood and the estrangement with his elderly father begin to awaken, leading Li Wansheng to develop severe psychological issues. At this moment, how will the optimistic and persistent Zhou Yan face such unexpected life changes? Furthermore, can Li Wansheng, facing his wife's unwavering support despite his psychological struggles, gradually unravel his mental shadows with the help of family, friends, and the psychologist, and return to a happy starting point with Zhou Yan, while resolving the long-standing estrangement with his elderly father? Meanwhile, the related characters in Zhou Yan's life — the patient who became a friend due to a medical emergency, the model Lin Shanshan, her love-hate relationship with her ex-boyfriend, photographer Chang Yuan, her brother Zhou Fang, sister-in-law Yang Lizhi, her husband’s ex-wife Chen Rongrong, her husband’s son Qiangqiang, her colleagues, and the psychologist Zhang Ke, who gradually starts to frequently contact them to help save Wansheng — all begin to rethink and seek true feelings and their own spiritual refuge in this pressure-filled material society throughout the development of the protagonists' story...
