Artz and the other two hairstylists decided to replace the young hair-dressers to help to earn a reputation for the country. When the bright and attractive model with the beautiful hairstyle that Artz and the others designed walked out, she received lots of cheers and support due to her fantastic hairstyle. The hair-dressers they chased off-stage were Neo-Image's neighbour at the alley nearby, called "Zhong Nan Li Fa Ting" worker, Bei Ruo Yi (Xiao Bei).

Through the dark night's illuminated winder, Xiao Bei saw Fernando wave a knife and fresh blood splashed out; Neo-Image back door, Xiao Bei saw Er Ya handed over a huge cloth bag to two other person and Xiao Bei thought that Chou Mei must have met an accident and decided to inform the police. Artz and the others were brought to the police station and Xiao Bei opened a Zhong Nan press conference to explain the murder she witnessed.

Artz and Xiao Bei betted on the next day's news' size and Artz unfortunately lost to Xiao Bei, so he not only had to accompany Chou Mei to shoot wedding photos, but also went to Zhong Nan's top floor, otherwise known as the "Haunted House", to sleep for a night.

Artz and Xiao Bei unknowingly walked to "Water Maze Chamber", where there was a rumor that a pair of couple if they can walk through the chamber without deep thoughts about how to do it, are destined to be lovers.

Artz and Chou Mei's wedding photos were enlarged and put outside the shop which made Artz had ideas of revenge and when Xiao Bei's helper Tong Tong was at Neo-Image, Artz hoped that she would come to work and hence Artz bet with Xiao Bei that if Tong Tong came to Neo-Image again, Xiao Bei must come to be the hair washer at Neo-Image. Tong Tong's betrayal caused Xiao Bei to lost the bet but when Xiao Bei thought of leaving her father, she felt very uncertain and met with an car accident when she was not paying attention. She felt a guy saving her at that time but she could only remember that he was wearing a basketball T-Shirt with the letters "23" on it.

*This was a drama that was not just about the romance between the two main characters. There were many subplots that involved many of the secondary and supporting characters as well. Plus, it wasn't just pure love and talked about family, work...etc. It was very hilarious but turned a little sentimental near the end. It was very entertaining, but I found it to be a bit draggy around episode 20. Also, I felt the characters (mainly Artz) changed and progressed way to extremely. He became a total different person at the end. I found the ending very cute, although not that satisfying, and this is a great drama overall. You won't regret watching this.
 
 
 
 
On Xiao Bei's first day at work, there was a fight between Emma and Ke Lan over some advertisements project. Ke Lan was at the top of her career when she fell in love with Fernando but flirty Fernando loves Emma and got caught by the media kissing her. It was only through Richie and Artz's effort that Ke Lan was able to win back the advertisement project.
 
 
 
 
 
Richie's god-father was one of Hong Kong's gang's big brother, Chen Ge. Richie's father lost Richie to him in a bet. Chen Ge was to be Richie's forever master. Before the wedding, Chen Ge's ninth wife Bai He kissed Richie- which he didn't expect, right when Chen Ge walked in the room. It caused Chen Ge to have some misunderstandings and Richie had no choice but to escape Hong Kong. Chen Ge however, also sent his men to "invite" Richie back to Hong Kong. Richie met with them a couple of times and Xiao Bei always happened to be nearby too. This made Xiao Bei mistake Richie to be an undercover detective. Richie didn't deny and Xiao Bei ended up falling in love with Richie because of his mysterious background.
 
 
 
 
 
Qing Kong silently came back to the country but didn't went to see Artz as promised and observed him from the side instead. She noticed that Artz was really nice to Xiao Bei and was slightly disappointed. Neo-Image organized a yearly friendly competition, Ping Bi, for workers that was due to start. They can find their friends to be models. Qing Kong hid her status and went near Xiao Bei to become her good friend. Artz's twin brother Ya Jun had past away but Artz kept acting as his brother to hide the fact from his grandmother. To make her happy, Xiao Bei agreed to be Ya Jun's girlfriend for a day and it was on that day that Xiao Bei noticed many of Artz's qualities and fell for Artz.
 
 
 
 
 
The Ping Bi finally started and the most likely to be promoted hairstylist Mango, chose to have Zhe Ming who had a huge fight with Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei tried to concentrate and was about to show off her skills when Qing Kong came to Neo-Image and told Xiao Bei that she was Artz's girlfriend. When Xiao Bei knew that, she was hurt and she lost all her ideas and innovation. Thus, she lost the Ping Bi. Richie also realized then that Xiao Bei's feelings for Artz was out of the ordinary.
 
 
 
 
 
Qing Kong's appearance made Xiao Bei face opponents in both her career and love. Her love with Artz was filled with uncertainty. Neo-Image's England sales manager Anna, was Artz's father's mistress. When Anna returned to the country, she favoured Fernando more and when it came to the running of Neo-Image, she and Artz were both determine to go towards a hairstylist path and fought against each other. Are Artz and Richie able to prove that dreams would come true if you chase for it? Xiao Bei is stuck between Artz and Richie and who will she end up with in the end?...
