Down-and-out scholar Gu Shukuang moves to Blue Stone Slab Lane, where he meets and gets to know Wen Suier, the manager of a pastry shop. Neighbors in the lane help and support one another: Aunt Meng who sells vegetables is warm-hearted and outgoing, Luo the blacksmith is silent and kind-hearted, and Granny Yun who lives alone is kind and gentle. Wen Suier strictly adheres to integrity, attentively running the pastry shop left by her father, exchanging genuine sincerity for a bustling stream of customers; Gu Shukuang continues studying tirelessly and keeps hope in his heart despite being in adversity. The two support each other and grow together amidst ordinary worldly warmth, making their days more and more prosperous through hard work and kindness.
