[edit] Synopsis

Xin Lei (Barbie Hsu), a girl from a wealthy family, and Qin Lang (Show Luo), a guy who was in Shanghai to pursue his dream of becoming an artist, met by accident at a corner when her car and his bicycle crash into each other. They meet again when Xin Lei goes to the restaurant that Qin Lang works at. She wanted him to teach her how to make the Taiwanese snack oyster omelette (ô-á-chian or 蚵仔煎), in order to impress her fiancé's parents. Then after much bickering and mis-understanding they become friends.
Then, Xin Lei's parents' company goes bankrupt and they go into hiding. They mis-guidedly thought that her fiancés's would take care of her hence only left her a plane ticket and a key to their house in Taiwan. To make matters worse Xin Lei's fiance breaks the engagement, due to his parents' wishes, leaving her to rely on her best friend Xi Xian and Qin Lang. Then Qin Lang returns to Taiwan, at the bidding of his gandmother. When Xin Lei arrives in Taiwan, she finds out that Qin Lang's family has been living in the house for years! After much controversy, Qin Lang's grandmother finally lets her stay. Thus begins a magical love story.
