After a crushing layoff, timid office worker He Xiang Yong flees Taipei for his rural island hometown, burdened by shame and a fractured relationship with his father. One drunken night, he and his childhood best friend Li Wan Zhe each make a wish upon a shooting star—Xiang Yong wishes to be completely forgotten, while Wan Zhe wishes for true love. Miraculously, their wishes come true. Xiang Yong wakes up as a stranger named Zhong Xiao You, erased from everyone’s memory except Wan Zhe’s. Mistaken for a lost guest and kicked out of his own family’s B&B, he finds himself working alongside his high-school crush, Chen Hao Wei—who is desperately searching for the friend he lost years ago. As Xiang Yong navigates this surreal new reality, he must confront past misunderstandings, rediscover his own worth, and decide if running away from his life is worth losing everything that truly matters. Set against sun-drenched beaches and small-town warmth, this fantasy romance weaves a tender tale of second chances, self-acceptance, and the magic of being truly seen.
