Tian Tian De (Ding Yi Yi) is a recently graduated design student who just happens to be a dab hand at making ice cream. Su Mu (Zhao Yi Qin) is an aviation-loving younger man who has struggled to speak after a childhood accident that left him brain damage that caused aphasia, a condition that impairs his speech. One day, he is flying a drone and obliviously walks into Tian Tian De’s house...while she’s in the middle of her bathing routine.

He ends up sampling her ice cream – and discovers that it remarkably relieves his aphasia symptoms, albeit on a temporary basis. Just a spoonful of the homemade ice cream allows him to communicate totally unimpaired. Bewitched by this sweet treat, Su Mu moves house to be closer to Tian Tian De – so he can keep asking her for ice cream and gain more respite from his ailment. Onlookers mistake them for a couple. But as they get to know each other a little better, they discover that a shared love of ice cream might not be the only thing they have in common…

With a funeral service to attend, Junko has little time for thoughts about dreams or men. But things take an unexpected turn when she notices a handsome monk praying at the temple.
