Qiao Nan is a rebellious teenager who desperately wants to be loved and cared for. His broken family has made him inept at expressing his feelings since he was a child. He hides with indifference so that he can become strong, but in reality, he is a righteous teenager.

An accidental soul swap causes Qiaonan and Mu Xiangxiang to live in each other’s identities, a new identity and environment make the once loveless teenager gets the true love he has always longed for.

When faced with a very different self, he begins to re-examine his past and present.

As a result of the intervention of Mu Xiangxiang, Qiao Nan regains his family and affection and learns to understand and care, so Mu Xiangxiang also becomes a special existence in Qiao Nan’s heart.
