The remarried life of the male protagonist Li Wansheng, played by Zhou Xiaobin, who is a divorced employee of a travel company and has a son named Qiangqiang, played by Dong Bowen, and the female protagonist Zhou Yan, played by Yan Ni, who works as a nurse, is filled with warmth and charm. Li Wansheng is understanding and gentle, while Zhou Yan is simple, sincere, and warm-hearted, embodying optimism and persistence rarely seen in modern people. Despite being a remarriage family, the two have no emotional gaps, love each other deeply, and plan to buy a new home, looking forward to a better life.
Model Lin Shanshan, played by Wang Yangmeizi, is a patient that Zhou Yan once treated for an acute gastric perforation caused by excessive drinking and binge eating after a breakup. During her treatment at the hospital where Zhou Yan works, Lin Shanshan, who appears cold and unreasonable on the surface and seems to have symptoms of depression, is gradually moved by Zhou Yan's sincerity and enthusiasm. They become friends, and through Zhou Yan, Lin Shanshan meets psychologist Zhang Ke, played by Tian Yu. This begins Lin Shanshan's emotional and psychological journey between her ex-boyfriend Chang Yuan, played by Wang Wei, and Zhang Ke. In this process, psychologist Zhang Ke unconsciously plays a subtle role in Lin Shanshan and Zhou Yan's lives. Later in the story development, Zhang Ke becomes an important person in helping Zhou Yan save Li Wansheng, who suffers from severe mental illness. Impressed by Zhou Yan's devotion to Li Wansheng, Zhang Ke develops feelings for her but struggles with extreme contradictions between human nature and professional ethics due to the rule that psychologists should not get emotionally involved with clients, leading him to face painful choices.
Zhou Yan's brother Zhou Fang, played by Lin Jianjian, and his wife Yang Lizi, played by Zhou Dongqi, are a middle-aged couple who send their daughter Zhou You, played by Qiao Qiao, abroad for study. To earn more money, Zhou Fang starts working hard, increasing the living pressure and gradually neglecting his wife Yang Lizi. His close relationship with a bosom friend He Xiaoyu further exacerbates the already strained family relationship. Zhou Yan gets along well with her brother's family, but after marrying Li Wansheng, to make her sister’s not-so-affluent life better, Zhou Fang often helps Zhou Yan financially. This makes Yang Lizi, who originally disapproves of Li Wansheng, worry about Zhou Yan's happiness and adds to her conflict with Zhou Fang. Their daughter Zhou You's unconventional behavior is also a major concern for Yang Lizi.
The climax of the plot comes with the appearance of Li Wansheng's ex-wife, Chen Rongrong, played by Fu Yujia, which completely disrupts the lives of the protagonists Li Wansheng and Zhou Yan. The issues regarding the custody of their son Qiangqiang keep arising, compounded by Li Wansheng being deceived by a friend in a business partnership outside of work and taking the blame, followed by being laid off from his job at the travel company during a bidding process. Adding to these challenges are the substantial monthly mortgage payments for the new house. All these successive urban life pressures accumulate too much burden in Li Wansheng's subconscious. Gradually, the long-suppressed traumatic memories of his childhood rural life buried deep within him and the estranged memories with his aging rural father start resurfacing. As a result, Li Wansheng suffers from severe mental illness. How will the optimistic and persistent Zhou Yan deal with this unexpected change in life? Can Li Wansheng, facing his wife's unwavering support, gradually overcome his psychological shadow with the help of his family, friends, and psychologist, reconcile with Zhou Yan to return to the starting point of happiness, and mend the years-long estrangement with his aging father?
Meanwhile, relevant characters in Zhou Yan's life, such as Lin Shanshan, the patient turned friend, her former boyfriend photographer Chang Yuan who she both loves and hates, her brother Zhou Fang, sister-in-law Yang Lizi, her husband's ex-wife Chen Rongrong, her husband's son with his ex-wife Qiangqiang, colleagues at work, and psychologist Zhang Ke, who increasingly interacts with them to save Wansheng, all begin to rethink and seek true emotions in this pressure-filled materialistic society and find their own spiritual destinations as they revolve around the development of the protagonist's story.
