Zeng Keqin is a socially anxious girl, living the same monotonous life of classroom, cafeteria, and dorm every day. Her college roommate often sighs at her: "You're so pretty, but all you do is study." She purses her lips in silence, hiding a goal she dares not speak aloud: to intern at the most prestigious firm.
She finally gets an interview opportunity, only to be stopped at the door by a man. He's nearly six-foot-three, with aggressively handsome features, a head of dazzling blond hair, and five ear studs along his cartilage. He's the center of attention wherever he goes. Certain she doesn't know him, she lowers her head to step around him. But he blocks her way again, his tone harsh: "When are you paying back my brother's money?" She steps back in fright. "Do I know you?" He seems to have anticipated this, pulling out a pile of transfer records and screenshots of affectionate chats. Faced with this ironclad evidence, Zeng Keqin reaches a conclusion. Someone has stolen her photos and used them in a romance scam. And the big fool who was scammed is the brother of the man in front of her. She herself is an unknowing victim.

Jiang Shiyu has a brother who's rich but not too bright, recently obsessed with online dating, always going on about "my baby." He's seen the girl's photos—clear eyes, gentle temperament, a typical good girl. Later, he meets a girl who looks exactly like the photos. She stares at him with big black eyes and says firmly, "That's not me." Jiang Shiyu doesn't believe her. To find holes in her story, he starts following her, going against her at every turn. He watches her go from initial panic and fear to clenching her fists and arguing her case, and he himself grows stranger and stranger. Finally, one day, Zeng Keqin can't take it anymore: "Can you stop following me!" Jiang Shiyu lifts an eyelid, a half-smile playing on his lips: "What? Afraid I'll eat you up?" And he does 'eat' her up—from her forehead to her lips, from her fingertips to her hair ends. He doesn't miss an inch.
