[edit] Summary
While lost during a party, Lin Lai Sui fortuitously met a young boy who comforted her when she was scared. He complimented on her hair, saying that it was very long and dark, just like a doll. From then on, she thought of him as her first love and grew her hair out in hopes of meeting him again.
Lin Lai Sui (Ariel Lin) is an upcoming fashion designer who had her designs "Daisy", which she drew when she was 5 years old, stolen by Chu Xing (Simon Yam), a fashion 'genius'. Sui believes this is the cause of her parents' separation. At the opening ceremony of her university, Bao Cheng Institute, she openly embarrasses and challenges Chu Xing, promising she will become a much more prominent designer than him and cause his downfall. Privately, Sui also vowed she would not fall in love until her promise is fulfilled. However, she soon changes her tune when she meets the attractive, flirty, kind and popular senior Ji Feng Liang (Wu Chun). To her dismay, she finds out that he is both Chu Xing's one and only son and the young boy she met at that party! There are many surprises in store for Sui as she tries to outmaneuver Chu Xing's plans to ruin her while still striving to keep a steady relationship with Liang. Then again, in the world of fashion nothing is secure...
