Almost 30, and an elephant keeper at the zoo, Qun should find herself a good man, get married and settle down. At least, that's what her mother keeps telling her.

Xiaoling has a clothing stall in the local market, but spends most of her day doing her nails and avoiding her ex boyfriend. Drifting through the day, she feels as though something is missing.

That "something" ends up being Qun. What beings as a "love at first sight" relationship, is soon faced with difficulties neither of them imagined. Their blissful home-life is disrupted by an unexpected visit by Qun's mother, and a frantic call from Ling's former girlfriend who is running from the police after killing her abusive father.

Will their soul-to-soul bond be able to withstand the pressures of family and old friends, or will their foundation crumble, burying their love with it?
