Summary:

In the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong, the reality of singlehood looms large for women over 30. Among them is a seasoned executive whose expertise in the corporate world doesn't translate into the art of flirtation. Her life takes a surprising turn when she crosses paths with her charismatic ex-boyfriend, a learned man who playfully implores, "Please control me!" This exchange sparks an unexpected rivalry as the executive's own protégée, an ambitious assistant with sights set on her mentor's job, also harbors designs on the affections of the scholar.

Amid office politics and romantic entanglements, another high-ranking woman finds herself at a crossroads of the heart. She meets a poet, a man with deeply embedded romantic ideals yet plagued by a fear of commitment. As if the love labyrinth wasn't complex enough, enter a Taiwanese cousin armed with an effortless, natural charm—a stark contrast to the more contrived approaches to romance commonly seen in Hong Kong. She is determined to outflirt anyone standing in the way of her affections, including her cousin.

These two women from Hong Kong find themselves pitted against a brigade of China's most alluring flirtatious forces. In response, they must confront their past heartaches and make a pact to master the art of allure. This sets them on a humorous and heartwarming journey to reclaim their power in romance, and quite possibly, to capture the hearts of the men they desire.
