Hui Xin is used to recording her daily life on her phone to hide her loneliness. Along the way, she only has one close friend, Xiao Xin. A group project gave Hui Xin a chance to meet her previous teammate, Ke Wen, again. They agreed to meet at Hui Xin's house to discuss the project. However, Hui Xin’s insecurity and her habit of hiding behind the camera whenever something happens led to a misunderstanding with Ke Wen.
