Chen Lina (played by Gigi Leung) works in Guangzhou and meets accountant Yu Xiaodong (played by Shao Bing). After falling in love, Xiaodong proposes to Lina, and they plan to have a wedding banquet in Hong Kong. Lina decides to quit her job and return to Hong Kong to make arrangements. Xiaodong's brother, Yu Ridong (played by Chen Bolin), is a ground operations manager at a navigation company in Hong Kong and has his own place. To save money, Lina moves in with Ridong and sleeps in the guest room. Just as things seem to be going well, Xiaodong's secretary confesses her eight-year-long crush on him! Xiaodong, feeling conflicted, reflects on himself and realizes he is not a good husband! Overcome by guilt, he secretly regrets the marriage and proposes a divorce to Lina! Lina feels like she's fallen into an abyss and stays at Ridong's place, unable to face reality, wandering aimlessly all day. Ridong helps with the aftermath, apologizing to Lina's family and friends on Xiaodong's behalf. He encourages Lina that instead of dwelling in sorrow, she should face reality, separate from Xiaodong, and stand up again. The two continue to live together like siblings and confidants, supporting each other. Gradually, feelings develop between them, but Ridong suppresses his emotions. Ultimately, can this pair of lovers overcome their inner obstacles and walk hand in hand?
