Synopsis

Ling Ling Qi, a kind-hearted girl, has a crush on renowned florist, Bo Hai. Determined to get closer to him, she applies for work at his company, Flower Plus. One day, they come across bracelets designed to promote better sleep by controlling brain waves. When they try them on, the devices malfunction and merge Ling Ling Qi’s brain waves with Bo Hai’s. Thus, Ling Ling Qi is transported into all of Bo Hai’s dreams where she helps him overcome some of his childhood traumas.

Cast

Main

• Dilraba Dilmurat^[5] as Ling Ling Qi
  • An ordinary girl who is kind and helpful. She is Bo Hai's diehard fangirl. However, her low IQ and self-esteem has affected her life, hindering her career and preventing her from achieving her dreams. Although she has studied to be a veterinarian, she applied to Flower Plus three times (once per year) just so she could be with her idol. Despite Zhou Xin Yan's sabotage on her third try, she manages to get into Flower Plus as a salesperson instead of a florist. She later finds out that Bo Hai has a different personality and not like the one in her dreams. However, they manage to get closer after Ling Ling Qi discovers his secret. After she helps him through one of Wen Guang Qi's schemes and displays her skills at flower arrangement, she was promoted to a florist. She later betrays Bo Hai because she thought the betrayal would save him and his company from Liu Ying Jie/William and Mo Nan's schemes.
• Deng Lun^[6] as Bo Hai
  • A florist, and President of Flower Plus company. He has high IQ but low EQ. He has pyrophobia after being traumatized by a fire in his childhood, which also causes his temporary colorblindness. He was able to finally overcome this weakness with the help of Ling Ling Qi.

Later on, she lets go of Bo Hai and accepts Chen Mo's feelings. After becoming Chen Mo's girlfriend, her personality did a 180 change, from accepting Ling Ling Qi to becoming more social with the Flower Plus' employees. Zhang Haowei[8] as Chen Mo Bo Hai's secretary and close friend. He has feelings for Zhou Xin Yan and never fails to comfort her when she's feeling down by supplying her with her favorite lollipops.

He had killed Yin Chang He in the office and set a fire in Bo Hai's home (cause of Lu Yun Qing's death and Bo Hai's pyrophobia). He then took Mo Nan and raised him as his pawn for him to one day get rid of Bo Hai (his reasoning was that because his own son died, so Yin Chang He and Lu Yun Qing's sons must also die). In the end, he was found not guilty of his prior crimes but was sentenced for intentional manslaughter. Lu Xingyu as Li Boqing Liu Qiushi as Ji Bin Mo Nan's right hand man.
