Synopsis

On September 1st, the four 18-year-old girls from different places, Xia Langlang, Fan Xiaoyu, Huangfu Shumin, and Yang Jiaqian, started their joyful college life in the journalism department.

The four of them had constant friction because of their personalities and habits. After growing and metamorphosing together, they eventually understood each other and became close friends.

Fan Xiaoyu has been trying her best to be self-reliant because she wanted to get rid of her father’s shackles. In the process of starting a business with her senior Fan Qingzhou, they got closer and closer and understood how to love.

Huangfu Shumin and Chongqing boy Zhou Yu grew up in a mutual love-hate relationship and learned to be independent while reaping love.
