Inspired by his jumps, Rui Xi decides that she wants to meet her idol and therefore transfers to Ying Kai University which he attends in Taiwan. However, the school is an all-boys school and thus Rui Xi disguises herself as a boy in order to attend the school. There she befriends Jin Xiu Yi (Jiro Wang). During a friendly soccer match between the two, Rui Xi gets knocks unconscious and so Quan aids by taking her to the school's doctor. But as he grabs her to carry her to the sick bay, he discovers that she is in fact a girl. He keeps her identity a secret from everyone, including Rui Xi and their relationship begins to blossom.

[edit] Reception
Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu 's pilot episode started off strong, posting a rating of 3.05[3] The show encountered little competition until the premiere of Show Luo and Barbie Hsu's Corner With Love. Before Corner With Love 's pilot episode was aired, Hsu bet that Corner 's highest rating would hover around 2.9, while Chai Zhiping bet on ratings of around 3.3. Corner would end up posting a final average of 2.81, with a peak at around 3.25, but it was no match for Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu 's average rating of 3.91 that week.[4] The Corner With Love threat would be held off for yet another episode, as Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu 's 8th episode posted ratings of 3.88, compared to Corner 's 3.17 - a difference of nearly 150,000 viewers per minute.[5] As both series fought for viewership, Hanazakarino never relinquished its weekly ratings crown.[6] By the 12th episode, the series had already cracked 5.0.[7] The final episode achieved a rating of 5.98.[8] The ratings for Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu were so high that television channels in Japan and South Korea dished out over 30,000,000 NTD for the rights to broadcast the drama.[9] The drama's ratings performance resulted in a nomination at the 2007 Seoul International Drama Awards in the Best Juvenile Drama category.[10] Gala Television had originally placed Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu in the Best Drama Series category, alongside Beijing dramas Tang Dynasty and The Great Revival, but changed their mind at the last minute.[10] Following the drama's 15-episode run, media sources speculated that Ella, Wu and Wang will all sign on to star in the drama's sequel.[11] In September 2007, Producer Huang Wang Bo officially denied this claim.[12]The single episode ratings are as follows: [13]
