Synopsis

The drama tells the story of a girl, Lu Fenfen, who relies on her talent, courage, and an indomitable determination to make a name for herself in the wine industry, and embarks on a romantic journey with her eccentric boss, Xu Mingchen, who is both charming and funny.

Recap

Lu Fenfen, a supermarket red wine promoter, unexpectedly saved a young man who fainted during a wine tasting competition. As the man collapsed, he accidentally kissed Lu Fenfen, causing her to look pale. After sending the man to the hospital, Lu Fenfen visited him and found him weak and pale. When the man saw Lu Fenfen, he couldn't hide his excitement and introduced himself as Xu Tianran. Lu Fenfen could understand his excitement as she was his savior, but what happened in the next 10 seconds was beyond her understanding. The young man grabbed Lu Fenfen and kissed her without resistance. Then he made a request to Lu Fenfen, "I need to kiss you. From today on, every day, I need to kiss you. In exchange, you can ask for anything, anything at all."

Lu Fenfen, who was frightened, contacted her boyfriend of three years, Yang Jiannan, but he was cheating on her with the older sister of Maserati, which embarrassed Lu Fenfen. Xu Mingchen arrived in time to help Lu Fenfen resolve the embarrassment. The headquarters of the Xu Group is holding a confidential meeting, and Xu Tianran's health is deteriorating, and his position in the company is being questioned by the company's elders. On the advice of his friends, the physically weak Xu Tianran proposed a "kissing contract" to Lu Fenfen, who found it unreasonable and rejected it face to face. Mingchen and his friends discussed how to successfully approach Fenfen.

Mingchen, Yijiang, and Hele are gathered in their new base. After receiving a call from Xu Mingchen, Yijiang, and He Le urgently bought the apartment across from Fenfen's to prevent the situation from escalating. They pretended to be landlords and "rented" the apartment to Mingchen, making him Fenfen's new neighbor. Fenfen and Qiaoyi were curious about their new neighbors and visited them. In front of her good friend, Mingchen pretended to be his little brother Xu Tianran, in order to protect the company's interests and keep his illness a secret. The next day, Tianran (Mingchen) coincidentally encountered a drunk Fenfen and helped her into her apartment. Unexpectedly, Fenfen vomited on Mingchen, causing misunderstandings among her colleagues.

Lu Fenfen's grandfather came to visit her and was very relieved to see that she had a boyfriend like Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) and a leader like Xiong Xiong taking care of her. Xu Tianran showed affection towards Lu Fenfen in front of her family. Lu Fenfen and her good friend took her grandfather to the amusement park, and the innocent Lu Fenfen had a lot of fun playing. Her grandfather talked with Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) and hoped that he would take care of Lu Fenfen. Xu Mingchen's older sister, Xu Qingran, met with him and told him that their younger brother, Xu Tianran, had just returned to the country and had been using the stage name "Philip" and had become a master of red wine. Xu Qingran reminded Xu Mingchen to handle his relationship with his brother well.

Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) went to the supermarket to find Lu Fenfen and happened to help her resolve a dispute. Lu Fenfen suddenly realized that their family backgrounds and lifestyles were completely different. Although she had a good impression of him, she also kept her distance. Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) keenly sensed Fenfen's emotions and the two took a walk by the lake, talking about their dreams and passion for their careers, and they became more and more compatible as they talked. Lu Fenfen went to the library to look up information and unexpectedly met Philip (Xu Tianran). Philip took Fenfen to an old-fashioned soul food fly restaurant, which made her very happy. She then ran into the neighboring supermarket and bought two bottles of red wine. The two tasted the wine and Philip's insights on red wine made Lu Fenfen's eyes shine and she was impressed by his knowledge. Philip was also touched by the girl's sincerity and eagerness to learn, and the two became more and more compatible as they talked.

Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) was alone at home when Lu Fenfen passed by the apartment and smelled something burning at the door. Lu Fenfen woke up the sleeping Xu Tianran and found out that he had forgotten to turn off the gas stove. Lu Fenfen felt sorry for him.

Philip (Xu Tianran) came to see Xu Mingchen and was still upset about a car accident many years ago. He vowed not to see his older sister Xu Qingran. Xu Mingchen tried to persuade Philip, but he didn't appreciate it. The two brothers parted ways unhappily.

At the opening ceremony, Philip announced the selection process for the master class, with the theme of "going home". The one who best fit the theme would win. The preliminary list was announced at the opening ceremony, and besides himself, Lu Fenfen also heard the name of her college classmate Bai Bing. Lu Fenfen scored the highest in both the written test and the blind tasting, but in the final round, Bai Bing pretended to sprain her ankle and poured a small bottle of transparent liquid into Lu Fenfen's sobering cup when no one was looking, causing Lu Fenfen to be eliminated in last place.

Lu Fenfen, who was feeling down, made a mistake at work and directly resigned to her boss. She returned to her apartment and wanted to move out of the city. Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) encouraged her, saying that it's okay to encounter setbacks and anyone can start over. "Unlucky" Lu Fenfen tasted the feeling of a new lease on life and received an interview invitation from Anda Hotel again. This time, she directly entered the management level for the final interview and finally joined Anda as a wine steward in the VIP lounge. Within a day, the thorn in Lu Fenfen's side, Bai Bing, appeared in front of her and went crazy with anger. On her first day of work, Lu Fenfen worked overtime until late. In order to get home early, she took a shortcut. The path had no streetlights and she felt a bit uneasy. Suddenly, she realized that a man was following her from behind. Lu Fenfen quickened her pace, but the man also walked faster. She became scared and turned a corner, taking out the anti-wolf spray from her pocket. When the man passed by, she sprayed it fiercely...

With Fenfen's testimony, the stalker was caught and her foot was not seriously injured. Mingchen felt sorry for Lu Fenfen, and their friends saw it. Philip asked Fenfen to confirm the wine she chose for the last exam, and Fenfen went back to the supermarket to get the selected garage wine for Philip. Philip understood after taking the first sip. The taste he had on the day of the exam was not this. Fenfen immediately remembered the day of the competition when Bai Bing intentionally sprained her foot, and she roughly reconstructed the cause and effect of the whole incident in her mind.

Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) refused to reveal his family's privacy, and Lu Fenfen gave Mingchen a lesson before he left in anger. After returning home, both of them regretted a little, but they couldn't bring themselves to apologize to each other, so they started a cold war. Fenfen was too busy to pay attention to their relationship. Mingchen thought that Fenfen was still angry with him, so he went to apologize to her. Mingchen picked a pair of sneakers to give to Fenfen, and the next day, Philippe also gave Fenfen a pair of high heels. Philippe told Fenfen that a woman can go anywhere with a good pair of shoes, and that a woman once told him that a good pair of shoes is very important.

Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) finally told Fenfen that he was Xu Mingchen himself, because of his illness he looked young, and Philip was another child of the Xu family, Xu Tianran. Fenfen couldn't believe it, but in front of the photos and medical records, she had to believe it was true. Since knowing that Mingchen was really the president of Anda Group, Xu Mingchen, Fenfen was very nervous in her heart, she didn't know how to get along with Mingchen. She told Mingchen that we are not people from the same world, we are not suitable to be together. So, please don't come to me again in the future.
