Synopsis
Qi Yue (Rainie Yang) has a crush on Yuan Yi (Kingone Wang) and with the encouragement of her friends, she decides to confess her love for him. She writes him a love letter and plans to give it to him in person, however, she gets so nervous when she sees him that she accidentally hands it to Jiang Meng (Mike He), the school director's son who has a devilish reputation and a penchant to bully girls. In the midst of total panic, Qi Yue drops the letter before Meng, and scoots away.
After realizing her letter is still with Meng, she pleads to get it back from him. True to his devilish reputation, Meng orders Qi Yue to be his personal servant, else he'll print copies of her letter and throw them off the school roof for everyone to read. Embarrassed and angry, Qi Yue has no choice but to follow in the devil's shadow.
Finally, unable to stand Meng's devil-may-care attitude, Yue decides to break Meng's hold over her and tells Yuan Yi that she likes him, surprised to find that the feelings are mutual. A bizarre twist later, Qi Yue discovers she harbours feelings for Meng. She realizes that beneath the cool exterior lies a soft heart and a loyal soul who will always stand up for his friends. Meng returns her affections as well, and at last the dreamy Qi Yue, whose head is made up almost all of romantic fluff, thinks she has found love.
One thing stands in the way, however... How can they be together, when they're about to become brother and sister?
And what happens when an arranged marriage and an old love enters both their already complicated lives?
