Fan Shengmei, who has come to work in Shanghai, shared a suite with Guan Ju’er and Qiu Yingying.

They live on the 22nd floor of a mid-range Community called “Ode to Joy” with An Di, a highly intelligent returnee gold collar worker, and Qu Xiaoxiao, a wealthy girl with superb charm.

The five girls have very different personalities, each carrying their own difficulties and disappointments from work, love, and family.

They get to know each other as neighbors going from speculating about each other to gradually accepting each other and opening their hearts to each other.

In the process, they worked together to solve the problems and confusion in each other’s lives and witnessed each other’s growth and transformation in the “magic city” of Shanghai.
