Synopsis

Liu Shisan, who had grown up depending on his grandmother for survival, received a message from his mother telling him to study hard, get into a prestigious university, and live a good life. Clumsy and not particularly bright, Liu Shisan studied diligently, sacrificing sleep and rest, only to sadly discover that there are many things in the world that cannot be achieved merely through planning and perseverance. In pursuit of his dreams, Liu Shisan packed his bag and left his hometown, struggling to make a living in the big city. After getting dead drunk one night, his grandmother drove an old tractor for an entire day and night to "kidnap" him back to their hometown.

After returning to his hometown in a daze, Liu Shisan reunites with Cheng Shuang, a girl he had known since childhood. Warm and enthusiastic, Cheng Shuang comes up with ideas to help him sell 1,001 insurance policies in a year. Together, they witness the love story of Niu Datian and Qin Xiaozhen, while their own feelings for each other gradually grow.

His grandmother had already known six months earlier that she had cancer and only half a year left to live. With the help of neighbors and Cheng Shuang, Liu Shisan handled her final affairs. Soon after, Cheng Shuang also had to leave him to undergo surgery at the hospital. Before leaving, she made a lifelong promise to Liu Shisan. With both his grandmother and Cheng Shuang leaving him, each carrying their love for him, Liu Shisan holds onto hope and continues his life with strength.
