Summary

Template:Spoiler

Qi Yue (Rainie Yang) is a college student in her second year. Having a crush on the captain of the school's basketball team, Shang Yuan Yi (Wang Chuan Yi), she writes a love letter to him and prepares to pass it to him. Qi Yue, being super blurr, accidentally hands the love letter to Jiang Meng (Mike He). Jiang Meng, a freshman and the school's bully, smiles evilly at her as she gapes in shock, dropping the love letter carelessly and running away. Yue soon hears from her best friends that Meng is the school president's son. Being rich and powerful, Meng and his gang go around bullying other people to amuse themselves. While walking around school, Yue runs into Meng. He shows her the letter and reads the front out to her. Yue then realises that Meng picked up the letter that she dropped. Meng blackmails her and threatens to print 1000 copies of the love letter and scatter it around the whole school. Unwillingly, she is forced to be Meng's "servant."

Yue hates him at first. But as she gets to know him, Yue realises that he is simply "hard on the outside, soft on the inside" and he is actually a nice person. In turn, Meng finds that Yue is a very cute and innocent girl who is compassionate towards everyone and is able to melt his heart. Very soon, Yue finds herself flirting with her favourite devil and vice versa. As they start to fall for each other, Yue is shocked to know that her widowed mother is about to marry Meng's father, which links them (Meng & Yue) into a stepbrother-sister relationship. Things get really complicated. Meng and Yue face many obstacles like Yue's ex-crush and Meng's arranged date appearing at the same time, the disapproval of Meng's grandmother, the consequences of their love — They might wreck their parent's marriage, Meng's younger brother — Ah Rang blackmailing them out of hate for his brother, Meng's decision to go to Italy, and so on.
