Spoilers ahead
Xiao Bo is a courier who rides a beautifully restored classic motorcycle, delivering packages while scrimping to fund his nephew’s ear implant surgery. He crosses paths with Ye Jin, a driven CEO who has fallen out of love after her fiancé’s betrayal and, as a result, has developed an odd aversion to the color yellow—an affectation tied to a scene she witnessed on a yellow notepad. Her mood and moodswing set the tone for a company-wide purge of yellow items, which stirs up tension and drama in the office.
