Synopsis and Plot Summary

A story about technology guru He Zhi Zhou accidentally swapping souls with a ditzy girl named Shen Xi and the major changes that they undergo as they slowly fall into a romance.

Season 1
One street lies in between the College of Technology and the College of Arts, two places that are akin to two very different worlds that never intersect, all except for Shen Xi (Vivian Sung) who has a huge crush on her childhood friend Lin Yu Tang (Darren Chen). One day, third-year-student He Zhi Zhou (Tong Meng Shi) shows up and the two worlds collide in the most bizarre way. He Zhi Zhou and Shen Xi find themselves stuck in each other's bodies. 'Shen Xi' is ecstatic because she can take the opportunity to get close to Lin Yu Tang even as she finds it difficult to catch up to the highly-advanced lessons and even harder to deal with unique problems that only men have. Meanwhile, 'He Zhi Zhou' is pushed to his limits as he is forced to take dancing lessons and the like. In their search for a way to get back to their old selves, the two start to develop feelings for each other.

Season 2
He Zhi Zhou is on the brink of death after saving Shen Xi from an accident. Shen Xi discovers that the broken pieces of a mirror can take her back to the time before the accident, so she does everything to prevent it from happening. Lo and behold, the accident still occurs and Shen Xi somehow ends up two years later. She keeps trying to change things and meets a different He Zhi Zhou in each timeline though he retains the same personality and remains madly in love with her each time. She realizes that it is enough as long as He Zhi Zhou stays alive but then finds that a mystery man is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
