During the difficult period from 1937 to 1945, two generations of three intellectual families in Peiping make choices and sacrifices in the face of great turmoil and changes of the times. Some people choose to protect Chinese culture and continue the cultural bloodline. There are both idealists and realistic activists. They try their best to save the nation and survive, and actively search for a way out for the country, and finally head towards the light.

When it comes to matters of the heart, Xiao Xiao believes she is something of an expert. The blogger behind a popular social media account which addresses all sorts of relationship issues, Xiao Xiao has no shortage of experience when it comes to love. However, all of her experiences online can’t prepare her for her first encounter with Lin Shen, a professional psychological counselor, who sees the world in an entirely different way. After butting heads on a popular variety show, Xiao Xiao hoped that she would never have to deal with Lin Shen ever again. But fate, it would seem, had other plans. Hoping to improve her ability to analyze emotional problems by learning from a true professional, Xiao Xiao applies for a position as a professional psychologist’s assistant. Only too late does she realize that the professional she’s working for is none other than the cold-hearted Lin Shen.
