Synopsis
[edit]Qi Yi (Aaron Yan) is a fastidious young man who is afraid of germs and needs to have everything in his life in his own orderly fashion. After he gives up a successful opportunity in New York, he returns to Taiwan and decides to buy a small marketing design company called GAZE, and his old childhood home. The problem is that the home has a peppy tenant, Chen Liang Liang (Puff Kuo), who refuses to move out. When he arrives at his newly acquired company, Qi Yi discovers that Liang Liang also works for his company. The happy-go-lucky Liang Liang just wants everything to be stable in her life, but she realizes that may be harder to maintain when her new boss starts making big changes in her workplace, including a notice stating that office romances will be prohibited. Slowly, Qi Yi starts to fall for Liang Liang, but sudden circumstances make Ding Jia Yu (Qi Yi's ex-girlfriend) come back into Qi Yi's life. Jia Yu plans to ruin things between Qi Yi and Liang Liang. Dean, an outgoing and charming friend of both, helps them solve the problems that arise due to Jia Yu. Dean soon falls for Liang Liang, though he doesn't reveal it and remains a supportive friend to her. The office also has other staff members who later find their life partners within the office. Liang Liang helps Qi Yi and his father find Qi Yi's mother, whom they haven't had contact with for 20 years. For this, and other acts, Qi Yi's dad finds Liang Liang to be a nice person. But Jia Yu is acquainted with Qi Yi's mother. Jia Yu keeps making herself seem like a victim of the choices she's made, causing Qi Yi to feel guilty and sympathize with her. Because Qi Yi wants to make things right, he starts paying more attention to Jia Yu's needs, ignoring Liang Liang and hurting her in the process. Jia Yu makes her friend Jerry cause trouble so she could make Qi Yi fall in love with her again. Jerry ends up kidnapping Liang Liang, and she finds out that Jia Yu and Jerry ran off to the United States after Qi Yi proposed to her. While Jia Yu only goes out of fear of being tied down, Jerry has true feelings for Jia Yu. To try and make her love him, Jerry does everything Jia Yu says. She ends up using him to try and get back with Qi Yi. Liang Liang reveals her true feelings to Qi Yi in front of Jia Yu and the rest of the staff at GAZE. Qi Yi resigns as CEO of GAZE and becomes one of the directors of Hua Lian (a company GAZE is merging with). He promises Liang Liang that he will always stay by her side. Qi Yi's parents end up remarrying in a joint ceremony along with a couple from GAZE. After these events, Liang Liang thinks out loud about why Qi Yi hasn't proposed to her, deciding that if he won't than she will. Unbeknownst to her, Qi Yi is behind her, listening to her ramblings. He emerges and hands her a box. Inside is a ring placed inside a rose.
