Plot

Sheng Nan (Yao Chen), an over-30 single woman, learns that she has ovarian cancer and decides to find a new job to raise money for surgery, and to explore sexual experiences before the illness makes such encounters impossible. She finds work ghostwriting the biography of a elderly and flirtatious millionaire, while trying to start a relationship with a single man closer to her own age.[6] In the words of Variety, the film addresses the unique perspectives of unmarried women that have been categorized as "leftover women" in Chinese society, and "The film’s most powerful message... is that women should be able to seek sex without shame."[7]
