Plot Summary:

The witty and humorous IT professional, Zhao Xiaoliang, hits a career slump, only to have his strong-willed girlfriend, Pan Yun, propose marriage at the very moment he’s most discouraged. After they tie the knot, fate brings Zhao into Pan Yun’s company. To safeguard their professional reputations, the couple agrees to keep their marital relationship under wraps, vowing to support one another as they carve out their lives in the bustling metropolises of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Their careers flourish, yet the secret of their marriage leaves them constantly on edge, sparking a series of hilariously awkward and bittersweet situations. Each begins attracting admirers, gradually eroding their trust in one another. But the most irreconcilable conflict arises when both insist the other return home so they can fully pursue their own ambitions—yet neither is willing to compromise, locked in a headlong race up the career ladder. Despite their deep love for each other, the competing demands of reality slowly pull them apart. Even Pan Yun’s pregnancy fails to mend their fractured bond. Caught between romance and the workplace, they begin to wonder: What, after all, is the point of all this striving? When weighed against the scales of ambition and affection, it is ultimately the power of love that leads them to make their choice.
