share time: 2026-02-13 12:31:15

Lin Xiaoman, owner of a sugar water shop in the old street, carries her sugar water jar to confront the demolition team, determined to protect the market that holds the memories of the entire street. To her shock, the leader of the team is Gu Chengzhou, her ex-boyfriend—a CEO who disappeared for three years. Once lovers who shared potstickers at Uncle Zhou’s wonton stand, they are now enemies: Gu holds a development plan and says, “The old street needs to move on,” while Xiaoman slams down the old note he wrote: “I’ll stay with Xiaoman and guard the sugar water shop forever.” When Gu sees neighbors lining up to give Xiaoman handmade mugwort rice balls and hears kids shouting, “Sister Xiaoman’s sugar water is the sweetest,” he wakes up: what he’s demolishing isn’t just old houses, but their most precious original heart. This “anti-demolition battle” turns the cold CEO back into the boy who counted stars at the wonton stand. Can they join hands to stop the capital’s iron hoof and preserve the warmth of the old street?
