A  27 years old  Li Chenxi has reached the age at which unmarried women in China are labelled sheng nu or leftover women.
It's a stigma that carries a complex consequence in her social life, workplace and especially among her family.
In search of a solution to stop the marital pressures, Li Chenxi decides to do something unimaginable; she hires a handsome boyfriend in Beijing to take home to meet her family and friends.
According to Aljazeera.com, it was these pressures mounted upon women in china that have formed an idea of a film, and the starting point to look at the cultural and historical reasons behind the pressure.
