Synopsis
Lin Lai Sui (Ariel Lin) fortuitously met a young boy at a party and he 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 for him.

Sui drew the design "Daisy" for her mother and entered it in a contest when she was five years old. The design was stolen by Chu Xing (Simon Yam) and it broke up her entire family. She vowed not to fall in love until she has beat Chu Xing in the fashion industry.

Not too long after she met a guy Liang (Wu Chun) and every time she met him she would always feel warm. One day she found out that he was that little boy when she was young.

Trivia
The series was based on the Japanese shoujo manga "Tokyo Juliet" by Miyuki Kitagawa.
Julian Yang dubbed Wu Chun's voice in the drama. Wu Chun, being a non-native Chinese speaker, had trouble enunciating long and fast dialog.
Angela Zhang was supposed to take the role of Lin Lai Sui but was busy filming Bump Off Lover so the role was given to Ariel Lin.
