Synopsis
A story that follows five urban women with distinct personalities and how they find themselves after experiencing various challenges in life.
Dai Xixi (Song Yi) has always regarded falling in love, getting married and having kids as her primary goal. Alas, she never imagined that she would be dumped right before her wedding day. With nowhere to go, Dai Xixi goes to live with Ding Huiqiao (Xia Ruoyan) as she attempts to restart her life. However, she faces another hurdle when she makes an enemy out of Wen Ruxue (Yin Tao) who is also a tenant in the house.
Wen Ruxue is a wedding designer and the image of a succssful woman. She has high IQ and a low EQ. For Wen Ruxue, her work is her life. Wen Xiaoyang (Zhao Jinmai) is the youngest member of their ‘family’. She has come to Shanghai to pursue her dream of becoming a manhua artist. Meanwhile, Qi Yue (Hu Lianxin) is a woman who will do anything for love. Five women with very different ideals may seem like a cause for friction but they are each other’s pillars of support.
