Synopsis

Zha Mei Le (Cyndi Wang) is illustrious, humble and hardworking. She is also well-behaved, obedient, caring and kind. Her vast collection of certificates (including IT expertise to a baking license) is a testament to her enthusiasm. Despite her faultless exterior, she hides a bittersweet past. An accidental incident of eavesdropping led her to discover that neither of her parents, while going through their divorce, wanted custody of her, purely due to her being stupid. As a result, she has since worked hard to develop skills, gaining love and approval in the process.

Her boyfriend, Han Yi Feng (Eli Shih) still falls in love with her, as a result of her mass abilities and generous nature. His mother and sister both are impressed by and greatly admire her from the start of their relationship. Mei Le even helps achieve what she thinks is Yi Feng's dream of opening and running a bakery. There is a slight marring of this idyllic plot, with the introduction of Yi Feng's brother, the spoilt, rich and famous Han Yi Lie (Mike He). Mei Le makes a terrible first impression on him but she is determined to change that.

All seems well with the couple engaged to be married. However, in a cruel twist of fate, Yi Feng shows his true character and is not at all what Mei Le thought him to be. When she finds out that their relationship is not as pure as she thought it was, she is set with the difficult task of rediscovering herself, along with help, and in the process, learns to trust and fall in love again.
