Hong is a shy young man who lives with his control-freak mother, Meiling. After a disastrous blind date, Hong’s cousin decides to bring him to a sex hotel. Although Hong is not ready to lose his virginity, he finds himself attracted to the sex hotel’s assistant manager, Lele.

Charming and warm, Lele is a single mom to a son of around 20 years old. As a beautiful woman who works at a sex hotel, she is often troubled by unwanted attention. However, Lele enjoys the company of Hong and the extra special bond developing.
