Liang Xia assumes that Mao is going to propose after 10 years of being together and had given up her dreams on becoming a painter just to stay with Mao. However, she is disappointed when the diamond he had bought was for his boss, Mr. Gao's wife, to earn her support in improving his design company. Her friend suggests Liang should force Mao to marry her by proposing to him in public. However, the plan backfires, and Mao ends up breaking up with her. The devastated Liang eats a magical chocolate, transporting her memories back to her 17-year-old self. Without the worries of adulthood, she is back to her naive, optimistic self and that triggers a surge of interest in Mao, who she now refers to as “Uncle”.
