In Cheongan Village, the lives of two single parents and their children intertwine. Lee Ji-an, a fierce and dignified construction site manager, is a devoted single mother to her daughter, Lee Hyo-ri. Her first love, Ryu Jeong-seok, is a single father and an architect who, despite his cold exterior, is defenseless against Lee Ji-an.

Lee Hyo-ri, once a promising medical student, is thrown into a world of uncertainty after a brain tumor diagnosis forces her to stray from her planned future. Meanwhile, Ryu Bo-hyun, a confident young man who has spent six years working on a flower farm, meets Lee Hyo-ri in the quiet village.
