share time: 2026-02-12 00:38:23

Lin Xiaoman, a vibrant girl selling handmade candies, sets up her stall nightly in an old alley to fund her younger brother's medical bills—until she meets Gu Chengze, the newly transferred "Iron-Faced Officer" assigned to regulate the night market. Their first encounter ends with Gu "shutting down" her stall. But when Gu learns Xiaoman’s desperate reason for selling candies, his cold exterior softens: he secretly helps her apply for a community-friendly stall, fends off troublemakers, and even stays with her stall in the rain to protect the candies. Xiaoman also discovers that this "grumpy" officer secretly eats the orange candies she gave him and silently hands her hot water when she’s tired. From a "cat-and-mouse game" to mutual protection, they team up to fight greedy developers trying to demolish the old alley night market. Amidst the hustle and bustle, their sweet romance blooms, and they守住 the warmest slice of ordinary life together.
