- Episode I
Coco readily promised her mother, Yang Huiling, to go on a blind date with Mr. Z, who is rich and good-looking. As soon as she turned around, she found her half brother Li Nan and borrowed his girlfriend Ye Ying to replace her. Coco provided a full set of fake brands, and asked Ye Ying to perform "the more thunder, the better".
Ye Ying, instead of Coco, ordered the most expensive dish on a blind date. Despite her vulgar manner, she really upset Mr. Z. Li Nan sat at a nearby table and watched the bureau laughing, only to find that Misu, a fashionable gold collar girl whom she had just seen a few days ago, fell from the sky. Misu is obviously interested in Li Nan. Her ambiguous behavior makes Ye Ying cannot help but come forward and announce: This is my boyfriend! The blind date fraud is broken without complaint. Ye Ying's funny dress pales in comparison with the elegant Misu. Misu doesn't pay attention to Ye Ying at all, and she also buys two tables to leave alone.
Li Nan explains to Ye Ying that he went to see Misu to deal with Yang Huiling's chatter. Ye Ying feels humiliated and thinks that Li Nan regards herself as a spare tire. She refuses to listen to Li Nan's explanation and insists on breaking up.
Xu Hang was frustrated repeatedly at the job fairs in the talent market. The promotion of his bachelor's degree gave him no chance to communicate with the interviewer. As Xu Hanggang squeezed out of the crowded venue, the landlord called again to urge the rent. He went to the ATM to check, and only a few hundred yuan remained on the card. Xu Hang decides to sell his only valuable property, bicycle. Coco had no idea about the blind date. After she participated in the band rehearsal, she was escorted by Yang Huiling to Mr. Z's home to apologize. Coco thought that her mother made a mountain out of a molehill. Yang Huiling pointed out that Mr. Z's father was a big customer of Uncle Coco's company and could not afford to offend him. Coco dislikes being used as a bargaining chip and finds an excuse to escape. Yang Huiling keeps on chasing after her.
Xu Hang is selling bicycles at the repair shop. He is discussing the price with the boss. Coco suddenly rushes over, grabs the bicycle and rides away. Xu Hang ran after the car all the way. Coco is sure to get rid of Yang Huiling. As soon as she stops to catch her breath, Xu Hang catches up with her. Coco leaves her bike to slip away, but Xu Hang catches her. Before Xu Hang spoke, he was robbed by Coco, which made Xu Hang feel guilty. At this time, Xu Hang's parents called to ask him about his job search. Xu Hang lied that he had been hired by a big advertising company with a monthly salary of 8000 yuan. While Xu Hang was unprepared, Coco robbed the mineral water he put in his side bag and left.
Yang Huiling used her killer weapon to confiscate Coco's guitar. Coco had to go to Zjun's house with her. Yang Huiling tried her best to save her daughter's bad image and let Coco perform her piano talent. Coco made a spoof of a classical music and also wrote her own lyrics. The scene was very embarrassing. Unexpectedly, Mr. Z took a liking to the eccentric Coco and said that he hoped to have a relationship with her. Yang Huiling promised to come down for her. Coco was very dissatisfied with Yang Huiling's overly flattering attitude. After leaving Zjun's house, the mother and daughter had a fierce quarrel. Coco ran away alone.
After another day's tragedy of finding a job, Xu Hang gritted his teeth and sold his paintings on the overpass. Coco recognized Xu Hang and came forward to play a joke on the "big advertising designer". The two men had another fight. Coco liked a painting titled "Rock and Roll Beethoven", Xu Hang offered 10000 yuan, and Coco left 100 yuan to buy it. Xu Hang angrily watches Coco leave, annoyed that there is such an overbearing girl. Yang Huiling asks Mi Su about her relationship with Li Nan. Only then does she know that Li Nan's real girlfriend is taking the place of Coco. Yang Huiling learns about the situation from her ex husband Li Weihua. She learns that Ye Ying's family is a small business in the county town, and she is also a salesman. She is angry and complains that Li Weihua doesn't keep her son in check. Li Weihua said that Liu Cuilan was very satisfied with Ye Ying, and Yang Huiling became more angry. The problem suddenly rose to the height of two mothers competing for their son.
Yang Huiling can't wait to do ideological work for Li Nan. Li Nan is trying to get back together with Ye Ying, but Yang Huiling turns her upside down, which leads to a big complaint against her biological mother.
- Episode II
Ye Ying's mother was very worried when she learned that her daughter was suffering from emotional crisis: if she broke up, who would pay for her daughter's youth in the past two years! Ye Ying said that she would challenge Li Nan's "fear of marriage" by retreating.
Liu Cuilan is also anxious. Ye Ying has made it clear to her that if Li Nan does not take meaningful action, she will not change her mind. Liu Cuilan urges Li Nan to apologize. Li Nan hears Ye Ying's intention of forcing her to marry and feels very bored. Liu Cuilan tried hard to persuade her son: You can't find a daughter-in-law as strong as Misu. Will you serve her in the future?
Yang Huiling told Misu Li Nan and Ye Ying that they were in the cold war, suggesting that she might take the initiative. Misu has reached the age of hating marriage. Under various pressures, she has to lower her standards and lock in "affordable men" like Li Nan. Misu offered to date, but Li Nan was not good at refusing, so she accepted. Misu picked him up downstairs from Li Nan's company in a luxury sports car. Li Nan was teased by his colleagues. In a high-end restaurant, Misu grabs the bill, which embarrasses Li Nan. Misu wants to buy a netbook to be recommended by Li Nan. Seeing that he said nothing, she habitually tells him to give her a report. After this date, Li Nan never dared to answer Misu's phone call again.
Coco is editor in chief of the publishing house. That day, the director took the collected cover sample for the editors to evaluate. Coco chose a work that most people think is weird. The director thought that Coco represented the main audience of the book and adopted her opinion.
After Xu Hanglai's publishing house settled the contribution fee, Coco found that she had chosen Xu Hang's works.
Xu Hang took the opportunity of his work being recognized to get a job for himself. The general manager agreed to let him practice in the Binding Design Center, but cut his salary by half.
Coco deliberately ridiculed Xu Hang's works to see how he was irritated, but he was ridiculed by Xu Hang as a "mediocre little white-collar". The two men disparaged each other. Xu Hang found a basement in the neighborhood near the publishing house and met the community's cultural performance to welcome the World Expo. A youth band is performing with self satisfaction, but the uncles and aunts under the stage don't buy it. The scene is very funny. Xu Hang noticed that the guitarist in the corner of the stage was skilled, but he kept his head down and his body was stiff. After the performance, Xu Hang recognized the guitarist as Coco. Xu Hang laughed at the band's performance and imitated Coco's Zombie Typhoon. Coco was ashamed and angry, but this time she didn't argue with Xu Hang.
Coco refused to date Zjun. Yang Huiling kept calling to persuade her and stopped at the gate of the publishing house. Coco could not stand the disturbance and decided to let Mr. Z back. Mr. Z decided to arrange his date in the music bar of his hotel. Coco tricked Zjun and managed to let her band replace the pianist who came to play that night, so the guests left one after another. Mr. Z, however, was very tolerant, not only not angry, but also invited the band members to eat and drink, and expressed his willingness to be the band's logistics staff. Coco's attitude towards Zjun was slightly relaxed. In order to protest against Yang Huiling's power, Coco returned to the underground rehearsal room of the band for the night.
Dai Zhuo and Yang Huiling argued about their daughter's marriage because their daughter didn't stay at home at night. Yang Huiling reluctantly agreed not to use coercive measures.
Coco met Xu Hang in the basement, who had just moved in. The room he rented was next to the rehearsal room. Late at night, Coco couldn't sleep because there were only chairs in the rehearsal room. She knocked on Xu Hang's door, pretended to invite him to visit the rehearsal room, unexpectedly locked him outside the room and occupied his bed. Coco walked around the room. The sketches scattered on the table and the self-made posters on the wall made her see Xu Hang's talent again.
Xu Hang found the painting of "Rock and Roll Beethoven" on the wall of the rehearsal room, and his anger was suddenly gone, replaced by a joy of being appreciated. He was very excited and found a piece of white paper to draw.
The next day, Coco saw a cartoon of the band members pasted on the wall of the rehearsal room, and the other members were lifelike, except that she was painted as a mummy with bandages all over, and there was a large signature of Xu Hang. Coco tore the picture to pieces. Xu Hang saw her so angry for the first time.
- Episode III
Yang Huiling was puzzled when she heard that Li Nan didn't even answer the phone of Misu. She asked Coco Yeying what her charm was, which made Li Nan uninterested in Misu. Coco told her that the most popular one now is "affordable woman". Ye Ying will use old jeans as a backpack, and embroider the first letter of her and Li Nan's surname "LY", which is more fashionable than the "LV" on Misu's back.
Yang Huiling went to meet Ye Ying in person, and talked with Ye Ying about two points. First, she has prepared a marriage room for her son, which is just a welfare room for the unit, and she wrote her name; Second, the principle of getting along between her husband's family and her mother's family is "no economic exchanges, no relationship borrowing", which means Ye Ying can't get any benefit from her. Ye Ying countered that Li Nan never mentioned Yang Huiling to her, and she never thought that she would have two in laws in the future. Yang Huiling is angry.
Xu Hang reports to the publishing house. Due to the narrow road of enemies, Coco acted as the editor in charge of the magazine and held a face-to-face discussion with Xu Hang. Xu Hang put forward his own design scheme, and felt good about himself. Coco immediately threw out a series of sharp questions to dampen his spirit. Xu Hang is angry with Coco for revenge.
Xu Hang's plan finally won. He invited the girls in the editing room to dinner, but did not invite Coco. At dinner, the girls told Xu Hang that Coco had voted for his revision plan, and that Coco had played a key role in selecting his contribution. Xu Hang was very surprised. He thought of the "rock and roll Beethoven" and thought that Coco was his bosom friend, but he still disdained her on the surface.
Xu Hang teases Coco. Her attitude is indifferent, and Xu Hang is lost.
Xu Hang found that recently Coco was not only indifferent to himself, but also depressed. During the lunch break, Xu Hang could not find Coco anywhere. Outside the publishing house building, he suddenly found Coco standing on the edge of the roof, thought she was going to commit suicide, and ran up to her. In a hurry, he said what he really thought about Coco in his heart, saying that her support helped him find his place in the city. Coco was surprised. She also opened her heart to Xu Hang, saying that she had always had stage phobia because of a bad stage experience when she was a child, but she was reluctant to give up this place where she could realize her self-worth. Only then did Xu Hang know that her cartoon hurt Coco and apologized to her. Coco told him that the band would participate in a performance of an environmental protection music festival, and there would be hundreds of audiences. She was worried that her poor performance would affect the overall performance of the band. When Xu Hang saw the fragile side of this domineering girl for the first time, he couldn't help but be moved.
As the performance approached, Coco became more and more pressured and made frequent mistakes during rehearsal. The members turned from initial encouragement to complaints. They repeatedly stressed the importance of the performance to the band. Xu Hang saw Coco practicing again and again in the rehearsal room, but he was more and more unsure of himself and worried about her. On the way to the rehearsal room that day, Coco saw Xu Hang standing on the roadside holding a guitar and singing by himself. Although he could only play a few simple notes, he sang confidently, attracting many people to stop and watch. Xu Hang wants to prove to Coco that he can show up even if he has no basic skills. Coco has nothing to fear!
Xu Hang also took Coco to see a collection of videos of celebrities making an embarrassment edited by him, which made Coco laugh heartily. Xu Hang told Coco that it's normal for him to make an embarrassing scene, even celebrities do, not to mention Coco was a little girl at the beginning.
When Coco picked up his guitar again, he suddenly felt relaxed. Xu Hang held up a big poster at this time. It turned out that Xu Hang had made a pop chart of the head of the musician Coco liked. Xu Hang asked Coco to imagine that the audience were her bosom friends when she was on the stage. She was playing for them. Coco plucked the strings, but her eyes crossed the poster and looked at Xu Hang. Coco felt unprecedented confidence and strength.
- Episode IV
Coco's band came on stage at the performance. Mr. Z hired people to form a fan group, and light boards with Coco's name were shining everywhere under the stage. Coco found Xu Hang in the crowd at a glance. She watched him all the time during the whole performance, and she was unrestrained and charming.
This night, Coco and Xu Hang understood that the other party was the focus of their hearts.
Mr. Z was also fascinated by Coco's charm. He was determined to marry her. Since then, he has launched a strong pursuit and sent flowers to her office every day.
Mr. Z's pursuit has brought competitive pressure to Xu Hang, who wants to win Coco's favor in his own way. Xu Hang has long noticed that Coco is an environmental girl. Although she seems heartless, she has always carried out her own ideas in detail: carrying canvas bags, using handkerchiefs instead of paper towels, and making battery recycling bins. Xu Hang signed up to participate in the environmental protection public service advertising competition, to support everything Coco loves with his actions.
Xu Hang suddenly received a phone call from his parents. They were already on the train and arrived at the station in the afternoon. Xu Hang was so worried that he was sweating. What he reported to his parents was "8000 a month salary" and "living in a small apartment". Xu Hang asks Coco for help. Coco immediately asks Li Nan to hand over the key to his house and drives him to stay with Ye Ying. Li Nan can't help but find it hard to leave Ye Ying. He is used to Ye Ying arranging everything for him.
Xu Hang took separate actions. Xu Hang goes to pick up the station, and Coco moves Xu Hang's things to Li Nan's residence. Xu Hang's parents didn't doubt at all. They were very proud that his son could make a foothold in this metropolis so soon, and then they worried about his life. The old couple got a son in middle age. Xu Hanggang worked, and they urged him to marry Xueling, the "first love" in high school. Now that his son is successful in his career, the old couple asked Xu Hang to go home and handle the marriage, and then brought Xueling to develop together. Xu Hang said "I already have a girl" in a hurry.
Li Nanlai is in the house Ye Ying shares with others. Ye Ying ignores him, but she still makes the sofa soft for him to sleep on. The friends who shared the house cooked hot pot together. Everyone envied Li Nan for finding an affordable woman like Ye Ying and recounting her advantages. In the evening, Li Nan smelled the aroma of the sun on the quilt, and for the first time felt that there was nothing wrong with having a small home.
Xu Hang's parents asked his son to take his girlfriend home for dinner. Xu Hang had to ask Coco to pretend to be his girlfriend again. Coco took the initiative to act cute and virtuous, which won the old couple's favor. At the dinner table, the old couple asked the two children when they were going to get married. Xu Hangke felt his heart beat faster. Just then, the door was opened with a key. It turned out that Liu Cuilan came from her hometown to find Li Nan. Liu Cuilan sees that Li Nan and Ye Ying are not making progress, so she decides to come here in person to finalize the marriage of the two children.
Xu Hang couldn't hide it, so he had to take his parents to the basement. Seeing the living environment of his son, the old couple cried bitterly and must take him home. Coco immediately stated his position: Xu Hang would marry if he stayed, and break up if he returned. Xu Hang's parents hesitated.
Liu Cuilan cooked a table of dishes in Li Nan's small apartment and solemnly invited Ye Ying to have dinner. During the dinner, a mother proposed on behalf of her son. Although Li Nan was surprised, she did not object. Ye Ying pushed the boat along the river and made up with Li Nan. Li Nan and Ye Ying agreed to have a vegetarian marriage, but Ye Ying's mother thought it was Li Nan's parents' idea. She was dissatisfied with the man's contempt and disagreed with the marriage.
- Episode 5
Xu Hang and Coco took Xu Hang's parents on a tour in the city, pretending to be lovers made their relationship heated up sharply. Xu Hang's mother saw that the two children were deeply in love. She told her son in private that if she identified Coco, she would hurry to get married. Now Xueling's side is still hot. Don't wait until the chickens fly to the ground. Xueling's name was finally heard by Coco. She pretended to take a real order to Xu Hang that she was the only one in his heart. Xu Hang sincerely likes Coco's arrogance at the moment, and responds to her with kisses. Coco didn't refuse.
Having seen the vibrant metropolis, the old couple gradually agreed that young people should make a breakthrough here, and finally decided to let their son stay. After seeing off his parents at the railway station, Xu Hanggang is going to ask Coco to be his girlfriend. Coco suddenly receives a call from Zjun. It turned out that a band Coco liked was coming to hold a concert, and Zjun bought her a VIP ticket. Coco cheered excitedly. Xu Hang didn't say anything to his mouth.
At the concert scene, Coco was not as excited as she imagined, because there were few people to share with, so Zjun was obviously not interested in the performance and yawned.
In the basement, Xu Hang focused on drawing his entries. On an environmental bag, a girl with cocoa as the prototype held green buds representing hope.
Liu Cuilan and Li Weihua hurried to Ye Ying's hometown to propose marriage, and they did their utmost to show their courtesy. Only then did Ye Ying's mother know that plain marriage was the children's idea. Both parents and two children had a debate over the phone connection. In the end, Ye Ying proposed a compromise, DIY was a unique and economical wedding.
Yang Huiling was the last person to know Li Nan's wedding news. When Coco handed her the wedding invitation, she was still talking to Misu to persuade her to be more patient with Li Nan. Yang Huiling immediately called Li Weihua to vent her dissatisfaction. Coco enlightens Yang Huiling to accept Ye Ying, otherwise she will be excluded from Li Nan's small family, and her efforts for Li Nan over the years will be wasted. Coco reminds the dreamer that Yang Huiling has decided to adopt a soft policy towards Ye Ying.
Li Nan and Ye Ying held an open-air barbecue wedding in the factory compound where Li Weihua worked. The guests all felt fresh and festive. Yang Huiling was the only one who didn't like everything. She blamed Li Weihua for making the wedding too simple and targeted Liu Cuilan everywhere. In front of Ye Ying, Yang Huiling changed her face again, praised Ye Ying for her creative wedding planning, praised her as a good daughter-in-law who can live, and handed the room book with Li Nan's name to the couple as her wedding gift. However, Ye Ying didn't appreciate her and said she wanted to buy a house by herself. Moreover, they were already able to buy a one bedroom apartment. Yang Huiling said that one bedroom can't have children. Ye Ying declares that she and Li Nan are Ding Ke and don't want children. Yang Huiling is shocked and hurries to unite with Liu Cuilan, who is also eager to have a grandson, to persuade and educate the young couple. Ye Ying resolutely and politely rejected the views of the two mother-in-law one by one, and Yang Huiling once again learned the power of the daughter-in-law.
Yang Huiling was indomitable. The couple came uninvited on the first morning of their marriage and insisted on taking them to see the wedding room she had prepared. Ye Ying refused to be a "gnawing old family". However, Yang Huiling had an unexpected harvest this time. She found that Ye Ying had been using the calendar to calculate the security period. She cheated on the calendar.
When her son's marriage failed, Yang Huiling decided to put pressure on Coco, so that her daughter could not go wrong again. She began to indoctrinate Coco with the idea of getting married before cultivating feelings, fearing that Mr. Z would be dragged out of patience.
On this day, Z Junyue asked Coco to have dinner, and Coco readily agreed. Xu Hang wants to ask Coco to see his just finished entries after leaving class, but he sees her in Zjun's luxury car. Coco confessed to Mr. Z that he already had someone he liked and hoped that he would take the initiative to quit. Jun Z insists that only he is the most suitable for Coco, and thinks that Coco's ideal of love and marriage is unrealistic. He said that he was not a person who would give up easily. He would only become more and more brave after being defeated. Coco was angry.
Coco wants to pour out his troubles to Xu Hang, but he finds that Xu Hang is cold to her and even deliberately avoids her. Coco doesn't know why.
