Market salesman Gan Xiaowen (played by Tan Yaowen) is naturally stingy, outspoken, and considers disrupting his friends' happiness a normal part of life. Over time, people around him begin to keep their distance, until one day, Gan Xiaowen has a dream: he sees his conscience in the dream, which tells him that he has only seven days left to live. Within those seven days, Gan Xiaowen will undoubtedly die. Skeptical, he attends the wedding of his only friend, Tie Nan, but at the wedding, he drunkenly blurts out that he had a one-night stand with the bride, A Yin, causing the celebration to end miserably, and he is thrown out of the banquet hall. Driving home in a drunken stupor, he gets into a serious accident. While in a coma, his conscience appears again and promises him a chance to reform, on the condition that seven people must come to visit him within seven days. Gan Xiaowen, revived after his near-death experience, returns to work, but his colleagues ignore him, and no one is willing to be his savior. To save himself, Gan vows to improve his interpersonal relationships. Guided by an advertisement, he arrives at EQ University, intending to learn how to enhance his social skills and find seven saviors. There, he meets a female version of himself: a cold, tightfisted beautiful woman, Ah Tong (played by Li Lizhen), who owns a grocery store. Ah Tong is more skilled than Gan; in her presence, he is powerless. Comparing himself to her, Gan realizes how pathetic he once was and decides to change Ah Tong, unknowingly starting to change himself in the process. Meanwhile, the secret of the one-night stand ultimately leads to Tie Nan and A Yin breaking up. However, after the secret is revealed by Gan, A Yin feels relieved. A calm Tie Nan also reflects on the situation and realizes that Gan’s revelation has released the permanent knot in their hearts, prompting them to think about Gan’s merits. As the seven-day deadline approaches, Gan is injured again while trying to save Ah Tong, and on the last day of the seven-day limit, there is nobody by his hospital bed except for a disheartened Ah Tong. Gan despairingly closes his eyes...
