The story takes place in an ordinary small family in a big city in China. In this family, after eight years of careful nurturing by his tall dad and mom, our protagonist Gao Xiaodian has grown into an ordinary child who is not tall, not handsome, and whose academic performance is mediocre. In the home, Gao Xiaodian has always been forced by his dad to eat the cakes he made. At school, he is a well-behaved child; the teacher never criticizes him, but also never praises him, and often forgets his name. In his circle of friends, he dreams of becoming a superhero in their eyes, defeating the evil monsters. However, this wish never seems to come true, as the real champion playing the role of Superman is always Niu Feitian, while he remains the monster beaten by the superhero. He has always hoped for some excitement in life, even just a little, and he would be satisfied. Yet, even that little bit is denied to him by fate. His life continues in the same monotonous routine day after day. Finally, one day, as he continues to play the role of the monster being chased by Superman, he suddenly encounters a worn-out rag doll. In the chaos of being chased by Niu Feitian, he runs home without thinking, only to realize he is still holding the rag doll. That night, a miraculous thing happens: the rag doll suddenly transforms into a beautiful and cute little girl. It turns out she is a little princess from the Rag Doll Planet, and she possesses the magical powers that Earthlings dream of. The mysterious magic always brings surprises. Gao Xiaodian finally feels happy, as if a change in life has come, bringing excitement. He joyfully plans his bright future, aiming to become the exemplary student in his teacher's eyes, the superhero in his friends’ hearts, and to make the bully who has tormented him play the monster being chased by himself. However, life always accompanies imperfection. Gao Xiaodian gradually discovers that the rag doll's magic is still underdeveloped, only halfway mastered, often leading to humorous blunders, and it has one peculiar trait: good wishes tend to succeed, while improper intentions always fail, leaving him exasperated each time. The presence of the rag doll fills Gao Xiaodian's life with joy and wonder, while also overflowing with awkwardness and embarrassment. Through this magical rag doll, Gao Xiaodian lives happily with his dad and a group of friends. Suddenly one day, the tyrant Niu Feitian's cousin appears. He is an exceptional student, and his arrival disrupts the peaceful and joyful life Gao Xiaodian should have, as he discovers Gao Xiaodian's secret of the magical rag doll. Niu Feitian's cousin uses various means to obtain the magical rag doll, but no matter what methods he employs, he can never outdo the caring Gao Xiaodian. However, one day, the princess from the Rag Doll Planet suddenly leaves. Although the princess’s arrival did not bring fundamental changes to Gao Da Dian and Gao Xiao Dian's lives, they gained joy and touch that they had never experienced in the past eight years. The princess has gone, leaving behind deep affection and memories. Will she come back?
