Twenty years ago, a pair of lively and lovely twin sisters were separated due to their parents' divorce. Twenty years later, the younger sister, Mianmian, is now a university student majoring in dance. As she faces graduation, their mother passes away from a serious illness. On her deathbed, she asks Mianmian to go to Qingdao to find her twin sister and entrusts Mianmian to her lover and university classmate, Chen Yang. In order to find Mianmian's sister, Chen Yang, a farmer by birth, resolutely resigns from his advantageous job, heeds the suggestion of his long-time crush on Mianmian, Sun Lei, and sets off to Qingdao with Mianmian. Unexpectedly, at the Qingdao train station, Sun Lei goes missing, and reluctantly, Chen Yang takes Mianmian to her aunt's house. From then on, Mianmian settles at her aunt's home, but her aunt looks down on Chen Yang, who comes from a rural background. Chen Yang wanders the streets of Qingdao after leaving his aunt’s home when a speeding car hits him and the driver turns out to be Mianmian's sister, Su Ying, whom they are searching for. Of course, no one knows this. Fortunately, Chen Yang is not seriously injured. When Mianmian and Su Ying meet, an inexplicable connection arises between them. After being discharged from the hospital, Chen Yang looks for a job and finally secures a sales position at Haqing Advertising Company. Unlike Chen Yang, Mianmian works as a dance teacher at a private elite school. Although life is tough, they encourage each other, and the bus stop becomes their favorite spot for romantic moments; a bowl of dumplings or a basket of soup buns would make them feel the sweetness of life, until Chen Yang is beaten by jealous colleagues at work, leading Mianmian to realize Chen Yang has sacrificed too much for her. But Chen Yang bears no complaints. Mianmian and Chen Yang go to the police station to search for information about her sister but have no success. They then head to the azure seaside, where the crowded pier causes Mianmian to accidentally fall into the sea. Chen Yang, who does not know how to swim, jumps in to rescue her. When Chen Yang wakes up, he finds himself in a hospital, with Mianmian and Zhao Kai, a wealthy manager, by his side. Zhao Kai saved Mianmian and brought her to the hospital. Mianmian's evident enthusiasm towards Zhao Kai makes Chen Yang feel uneasy. During a bidding planning meeting for Roland's cosmetics, the company's general manager, Su Ying, makes her first public appearance alongside her brother, Su Yi. Su Ying is surprised to find that the person she hit with her car is in her company. In order to secure the agency for the high-end cosmetic brand Roland, Su Ying decides that Chen Yang and Yang Lei should handle the bidding proposal. However, Su Yi becomes jealous of Su Ying's ambition, as the head of Roland Cosmetics is her college sweetheart, Xie Xiaodong. At the company's proposal evaluation meeting, Chen Yang's plan is rejected for being too risky, while Yang Lei's proposal receives Su Ying's approval. However, another opportunity arises for Chen Yang. Yang Lei's plan is rejected by Xie Xiaodong's new company during the pre-bidding stage, and to seize the last chance, Su Ying meets with Xie Xiaodong using Chen Yang's proposal. But Xie Xiaodong no longer feels the past connection; however, he praises the adventurous spirit in Chen Yang's plan. Mianmian and Chen Yang post a missing person ad in the newspaper, but no one comes forward as their sister. Mianmian begins to doubt the possibility of finding her sister. At the Roland bidding meeting, Su Ying and Chen Yang work in perfect harmony and perform exceptionally well, especially Chen Yang's bold planning that gains favor from the new company, leading them to award the agency rights of Roland to Su Ying. Su Ying is exuberant after securing the agency. That evening, Su Ying takes Chen Yang out for drinks and street racing. Chen Yang is astounded to discover that beneath Su Ying’s cold and beautiful exterior lies a wild side. When Chen Yang takes Su Ying home, they are met with Su Yi’s sinister gaze. Su Ying returns to her room, sneering mockingly at Su Yi, unveiling a shocking secret: Su Ying and Su Yi are not siblings but lovers. Chen Yang is promoted to manager of the planning department at the company, overseeing all advertising and sales work for Roland. At this time, Mianmian is fully preparing to participate in a dance competition. After seeing Mianmian's photo, Su Ying's assistant informs Chen Yang that Mianmian had dinner with Zhao Kai. Chen Yang recalls that Mianmian had said she was working late that night. It turns out Mianmian has been dating Zhao Kai. Chen Yang is heartbroken, feeling that instead of helping Mianmian, he has become a hindrance to her pursuit of a happy life due to being too poor, while Zhao Kai has a house, car, and career. The advertising campaign for Roland launches fully, and just as Chen Yang is struggling to find a candidate for the TV ad, Mianmian wins the championship in the dance competition. Her large photo is published in the newspaper, which catches the director's eye, making Mianmian the star of the TV ad. After the ad shoot concludes, Su Ying and Mianmian have their first intimate contact, and Su Ying develops an indescribable fondness for Mianmian. Despite their beauty, neither realizes that they are actually the long-lost twin sisters they are searching for, as they look nothing alike. Mianmian's ad bombards the TV stations, and she swiftly becomes a star in Qingdao. However, the sales agency for Roland remains unsold, putting Su Ying and Chen Yang in a bind. Yang Lei, an undercover planted by Su Yi next to Su Ying, seizes the opportunity to pressure Chen Yang to resign and adjust business strategies. Yet, Chen Yang believes the current stalemate is about to break and insists on not changing strategies. In the final moments, Su Ying firmly supports Chen Yang. With close cooperation between Chen Yang and sales manager Sun Mei, an influx of customers inquiring about Roland appears in stores. The deal that Chen Yang had planned finally succeeds, and orders start rolling in. To repay Sun Mei, and despite the risk of retribution from Su Yi, Chen Yang insists on awarding the most important agency rights to Kong Jie, who has resigned from the company, infuriating Su Yi. Just as Su Ying’s career begins to flourish, Su Yi withdraws company funds at a critical moment to keep Su Ying under control, turning her company into an empty shell. In despair, Su Ying reveals the company's situation to Chen Yang, who stays calm under pressure and unites with Xie Xiaodong and Kong Jie to help Su Ying through the crisis. Meanwhile, the notorious playboy Zhao Kai in Qingdao proposes to host a dance gala for Mianmian to get closer to her. Chen Yang believes Zhao Kai's motives extend beyond just a gala and advises Mianmian not to throw herself into danger, but Mianmian shows unprecedented stubbornness, insisting on proceeding with the event despite a significant conflict with Chen Yang. Chen Yang, disheartened, feels their relationship has reached an end, leading to an emotional crisis between them. Su Ying and Chen Yang face the same challenges: success in their careers and failure in their relationships. Their shared journey fosters mutual recognition and camaraderie. One drunken night, Su Ying and Chen Yang inevitably become romantically involved in a regrettable relationship. To help Mianmian and Chen Yang marry soon, Su Ying offers a 200,000 bonus to company employees, with 80,000 going to Chen Yang, just enough for him and Mianmian to buy a home. Su Yi, infuriated by the situation while inspecting the wine business in France, abruptly returns to Qingdao and decides to appoint Yang Lei to oversee all Roland affairs, effectively sidelining Su Ying and Chen Yang. Unexpectedly, this move meets with strong opposition from everyone in the company, with threats of resignation from all sides. Su Yi does not anticipate that he has lost his authority in the company. To avoid losing the vast profits of Roland, he has to retract his command. Su Ying and Chen Yang overcome Su Yi once again, but this sows the seeds for a major calamity. As Chen Yang predicted, Zhao Kai's interest in Mianmian is not merely the gala but something more. During the performance, Zhao Kai harasses Mianmian. Faced with Zhao Kai's harassment, the seemingly gentle Mianmian does not yield to Su Yi like her sister Su Ying; instead, she stands her ground and sternly intimidates Zhao Kai, revealing a striking difference in character between the twin sisters facing the same situation.
