Opening sequence
The sequence begins at the reception desk; Dashou (Brandon Wong) and Shenlong (Zheng Geping) ring the bell to visit Shuiqing. Jiajia (Chen Liping) appears from behind the desk and shows them the way. In Shuiqing's room, Shuiqing (Chen Shucheng) is resting on his rocking chair when Dashou and Shenlong enter. He then treats them to green bean soup, with Jinhua (Lin Meijiao) and Daoren (Aloysius Pang). Daoren then sets off for Daoqiang (Rayson Tan)'s principal office, where he brings him and Jiajia close together.
Jiajia notices pieces of paper falling from above and goes up to check. She helps Chu Er (Bonnie Loo) tidy up her desk, which is in a mess. They hear beautiful music playing from Daohan (Felicia Chin)'s recording studio. The compliements she receive from her phone, in the form of hearts, come in, forming a heart-shaped balloon. It flies to the hallway of the inn, where Liu Yishou (Zhang Yaodong) is at. Yishou fails to catch the balloon. It then flies to Daoren and Meigui (Carrie Wong), who are sitting on top of a room. In the midst of trying to catch it, Daoren falls down from the room.
At the song's bridge, the scene is cut to a man who lands on an island and sees a lion. He decides to stay there forever, and rides the lion, climbing mountains with it.

This is already controversial, since Mind Game, which was the first drama under the plan, did not perform well in Singapore and is also nominated for only one technical award in Star Awards 2016. In addition, only Super Senior and The Dream Makers II were the only dramas in the plan to win performance categories.
