His classmates are either high-ranking military children or wealthy businessmen who have returned from overseas. Compared with them, Zhao Po is like a shabby and pitiful ugly duckling. By chance, he met Gan Xiu (Huo Siyan), a hair salon shampoo girl, who is a pure girl who works hard to support her mentally retarded brother. One day, Zhao Po took Gan Xiu and fellow villagers He Changxing (Zhao Zhigang) and Du Yongqing (Tang Yinuo) out for fun. However, he witnessed two fellow villagers being beastly and defiled Gan Xiu. After that, Gan Xiu completely disappeared from Zhao Po's life. He looked around and seemed to have entered a confusing world...
