Zhou Weiwei is in a serious relationship with her earnest and average boyfriend Li Haoyi who works in the same company as her. Haoyi adheres to a strict planning of their lives and Weiwei faithfully follows it. On the other hand, Chu Kehuan is a capable and talented stock trader earmarked to be CEO of the securities company he is working for. He is in an unhappy 10-year-long relationship with Gao Ziyuan, a beautiful woman who spends lavishly and devotes her life to him.
An unexpected meeting between Zhou Weiwei and Chu Kehuan leads to Kehuan being enamoured with her thrifty principles and strong personality. Kehuan sets out to woo her but Weiwei is committed to Haoyi and is turned off by Kehuan's unfaithfulness. Weiwei is furthermore horrified when she discovers that he is actually the boyfriend of her college classmate. Despite this, Weiwei begins to doubt her relationship with Haoyi and finds herself drawn to Kehuan. When Haoyi insists on buying a house for them, they accidentally stumble onto Kehuan and Ziyuan's home. Because of its high price and Kehuan's flirty antics, Weiwei insists on turning down the offer. Kehuan approaches her and makes her an indecent proposal for her to spend a night with him in exchange for a discount. Though she agrees, Kehuan stops it. Despite their encounter failing to come to fruition, Kehuan still offers to give them the discount.
During a housewarming party, Haoyi invites Ziyuan and Kehuan to thank them. There, Kehuan kisses Weiwei while Ziyuan and Haoyi are gone. Weiwei reciprocates but quickly pulls away. He offers her the choice of staying and waiting for their significant others or running away together. Before she can answer, Ziyuan and Haoyi return. Haoyi proposes to Weiwei, and Kehuan is devastated when Weiwei accepts his proposal. Realizing that he can not spend the rest of his life with Ziyuan, Kehuan breaks up with her.
Haoyi is later offered a higher paying job and resigns, leaving Weiwei upset that he would not discuss such an important decision with her. Their relationship is further strained when he leaves for Shanghai for half a year, postponing their wedding. Kehuan comforts Weiwei while she battles loneliness and feeling unloved by Haoyi. Though Weiwei is determined to distance herself from Kehuan, a work-related trip brings them together and their bond grows stronger. She almost sleeps with Kehuan but stops after receiving a phone call from Haoyi. She admits her feelings for Kehuan but because she cares for Haoyi, she is unwilling to break off the engagement. To mend her and Haoyi's relationship, she flies to Shanghai and realizes that he has never truly understood her or her plans for the future. She breaks off the engagement and travels back to Taipei, where Kehuan attempts to start a relationship with her. Their attempts at being together is complicated by Ziyuan and Haoyi's unwillingness to let them go, and their new roles in Kehuan and Weiwei's work project.
In the end, Weiwei and Kehuan resign from their positions. Weiwei decides that she must discover herself before starting a relationship with Kehuan, who vows to wait for her. They are finally reunited at a friend's wedding where Weiwei offers to take Kehuan out on a date.
