Synopsis[edit]

Chen Xin Yi (Joe Chen) is an unfashionable office lady in a law firm described as a 'sticky note girl'—a person who is helpful, but unnecessary and therefore easy to throw away. Her co-workers frequently take advantage of her eager to please nature by dumping unwanted tasks onto her. She plans and pays for a trip on a romantic love cruise, hoping to lose her virginity to her boyfriend/coworker Gu Chi.

Xin Yi is devastated when she finds Gu Chi cheating on her during the cruise and he tells her that he planned to break up with her all along.

On the same cruise is Ji Cun Xi (Ethan Juan), the wealthy sole heir of a soap and cleaning products company. He had planned to propose to long-time girlfriend Anna (Bianca Bai) during the trip, but is unaware that she has stood him up for the 11th time and never boarded the cruise. Anna is a professional ballerina and chose a main role in a world tour based in the US ( as the first Asian woman to dance as Odette at Lincoln Center in Mew York) over Cun Xi.

In a huge mix-up involving drugs, a third party blackmail plot, and carelessness, Xin Yi and Cun Xi end up spending the afternoon in bed together while mistaking each other as their respective partners.

Meanwhile, Xin Yi’s brother-in-law and his father burst in to snap blackmail photos of Cun Xi (having hired an Indonesian prostitute to force Ji Cun Xi into an indelicate situation to save their Ginger Island hair product factory).

Although they vow to forget about the incident and continue on with their lives, Xin Yi soon finds out that she is pregnant and the news soon reaches to Cun Xi via national news.

Initially, they decide to have an abortion, but Cun Xi changes his mind at the last minute and offers to financially support Xin Yi until the birth, but her family rejects this and thinks abortion is best.

Cun Xi's grandmother, Granny Ji, however, is ecstatic over having a great-grandchild and forces the two to get married.

Cun Xi, upset that he has been trapped into this situation, forces Xin Yi to agree to divorce after the birth, and in exchange for her silence about the marriage, she will relinquish the baby to him. She, however, refuses to accept any money he offers her for the pregnancy, which makes him question her motive for agreeing to the marriage. Xin Yi had only agreed to the marriage in hopes of giving the baby a happy family, but she knows that it's not possible if she and Cun Xi are not in love. She meets and begins a friendship with Dylan, a kind young man from Shanghai who sympathizes with her in her situation and seems genuinely interested in her. He later becomes her confidant and a source of support in the face of Cun Xi's mistreatment. Dylan reveals to her that his lifetime goal is to find his long-lost biological sister, Dai Xin Yi, who has the same name as Chen Xin Yi separated from him during childhood.

Still in love with Anna and thinking Xin Yi became pregnant to get money from him, Cun Xi struggles between his selfishness and taking responsibility. Xin Yi feels deeply burdened with guilt for her mistake and struggles to stand up for herself and become more than just a sticky note in other people's lives, while trying to keep from falling for Cun Xi. Xin Yi's simple and selfless nature soon endears her to Cun Xi's family and, eventually, Cun Xi. Slowly, Cun Xi begins to realize his love for Xin Yi and the child she is carrying, and starts to wonder what life would be like if they lived together as a family. He desires to protect Xin Yi from those who would mistreat her and tells her that he doesn't want her to leave him after the baby is born.

Unfortunately, these epiphanies are interrupted by the unexpected return of an injured Anna. Cun Xi conceals his marriage and impending fatherhood and requests Xin Yi return to stay with her mother until he can explain the situation to Anna and his grandmother. A series of unfortunate events lead a devastated Anna to discover the truth from Cun Xi's incensed grandmother during an ugly confrontation. Enraged, Cun Xi blames Xin Yi ruining his life and accuses her of telling his grandmother in an effort to force him to stay with her. He moves out to live with Anna.

Cun Xi later regrets his anger and worries constantly about Xin Yi and the baby. He decides to return to his original plan to care for Xin Yi until she gives birth, and requests Anna be considerate of the situation and wait for him for the remaining months until the child is born. He has new divorce papers written up which ensure Xin Yi will be generously taken care of for the rest of her life. Anna, worried that Cun Xi will leave her, delivers abortion agreement papers to Xin Yi and says they're from Cun Xi. Distraught and horrified, Xin Yi decides to take the baby and raise it alone. During another ugly confrontation at Grandma Ji's birthday party, Cun Xi realizes his feelings at last for Xin Yi and runs to find her. She pleads with him to leave her alone and tries to run away from him when Xin Yi is hit by a car. In the emergency room, Cun Xi must sign an abortion agreement to save Xin Yi's life, while she begs him not to.

Xin Yi recovers and refuses to see Cun Xi. To escape her loss, and Cun Xi, she changes her name and moves to Shanghai with Dylan, signing the divorce papers before she goes. Cun Xi vows to find her again one day.

Two years later, Xin Yi has stopped being a stick note girl to become a successful pottery teacher just starting a relationship with Dylan, while Cun Xi has become engaged to Anna but still continues his search for Xin Yi. Cun Xi eventually finds Xin Yi again and realizes that they are still married since he never dated and filed their divorce papers. Jealous of her attentions to Dylan, Cun Xi tries many tricks to force Xin Yi to interact with him, in order to make her forgive him for how he treated her and prove to her that his love for her is genuine. Xin Yi is not able to forgive him, accusing him of being glad that she lost the baby. In the face of this rejection Cun Xi then decides to go along with marrying Anna, but when Xin Yi visits the island for the first time in two years, Cun Xi finds out that Anna was the one responsible for the misunderstanding with the abortion papers and why Xin Yi hates him. Mad by this, Cun Xi cancels the wedding with a heartbroken Anna and tries to make amends with Xin Yi by telling her that he didn't want her to get rid of the baby. Xin Yi is still reluctant to forgive him, but allows him to explain. Afterwards, with her newly awakened feelings of love, Xin Yi forgives him, they reconcile, and Dylan finds out that Anna is his sister, and the two are reunited as siblings.

As punishment for the tricks he played on her, Xin Yi tricks Cun Xi to be in a barrel and hits him so he went off the hill and he lost his eyesight temporary so she decided to be with him until he get his eyesight back. The next day, he got his eyesight but he pretended that he still have lost his eyesight to make her stay by his side. She then finds out he tricked her again and is able to acknowledge that she still has feelings for him. She goes to the doctor to see if she can give birth again but the doctor said the possibility to have children is so low due to the miscarriage she had before. On the same day, Cun Xi asked Xin Yi to marry him but she rejected the offer since she knew that Cun Xi's grandmother wanted an heir for the Ji family tenth generation. Hence,she duped Cun Xi that she wanted to start a relationship with Dylan because she finds Dylan more suitable. With the support of Cun Xi and their families, she finally agrees to marry him and they have a formal wedding. Shortly after, she becomes ill and finds out that the hospital that told her she was infertile is a fraud. Afterwards, Xin Yi finds out she is pregnant, and later gives birth to a baby by the name of Ji Nian Ri, honouring the wonderful memories that she and Cun Xi have created between them.
