Synopsis

The story follows three men as they find their significant other. Cheng Hao is a successful Beijing dentist, who on his free time likes to give advice on how to pursue women. He hasn't been in love before. During a business trip in Antwerp, he clashes with Luo Yue, who is wary of men and relationships. Back in Beijing, the two individuals continue to war — and gradually becomes close. Meanwhile, Cheng Hao's business partner Zhang Mingyang seeks his advice on how to pursue a girl, and she turns out to be none other than Gu Yao, Cheng Hao's university crush. His friend, Zou Beiye also seeks Cheng Hao's advice on how to pursue Qiao Yilin, a supermodel.
