Shancai is a girl from a family that is barely able to make ends meet. Due to the nature of her personality, she immediately clashes with F4, especially Daoming Si who is spoiled, arrogant and a bully. She remains defiant even after becoming a target of Dao Ming Si and just when she's about to give up, Huaze Lei always seems to show up to comfort her. Eventually, the four boys begin to acknowledge Shancai's unyielding personality that is like her namesake, which is that of a weed that can never be brought down.
