Plot Summary: He has chosen to love, and no one can stand in his way! Alifu (played by Utjung Tjakivalu), a hair stylist from the Paiwan tribe, finds his life upended when his elder brother suddenly passes away. His chieftain father (played by Kimbo Hu) declares that Alifu must succeed him as the next chieftain. This decision disrupts Alifu's gender transition plans to become "Alifu the Princess," forcing him to flee back to Taipei. When his chieftain father tracks him down to Taipei to persuade him, he unexpectedly discovers his son's secret... "Alifu" always makes a stunning, charming appearance at work, attracting many loyal clients. As the day of inheriting the chieftaincy approaches, his carefree life is disrupted, and his morale sinks to a low ebb. At this juncture, his handsome roommate Pei-zhen (played by Chao Yi-lan), who always pampers him, begins to develop romantic feelings for the beautiful "Alifu"... However, "Alifu" is wholeheartedly infatuated with Zheng-zhe (played by Cheng Jen-shuo), a shy civil servant, and follows him to discover the fascinating world of drag bars after hours. Meanwhile, Sherry (played by Chen Bamboo), the drag bar's proprietress, shows unconditional love for Old Wu (played by Wu Pong-fong), a plumber, which makes Alifu realize the heavy price one must pay in pursuit of the true self... Will "Alifu" ultimately fulfill his father's wishes and accept the chieftaincy? Will he find enough courage to face his true self? Love takes many shapes and life is full of encounters; in this vibrant world, love alone is the only answer.
