Tao Le (Dawn Yeoh), Ye Yutong (Candice Liu) and Yu Lingzhi (Michelle Chia) are best friends since young.

At the same time, a love triangle develops between Tao Le, Lingzhi, and Fang Youfang (Dai Xiang Yu), a tenant living under Tao Le's roof. The relationship is made complicated when Lingzhi's boss, Hu Yingbang (Chen Hanwei) enters the picture.
