Ryan is a womanizing stockbroker whose unethical business practices cost him his job and his trader's license. Unable to find another job, he is forced to move in with his equally self-involved (and completely oblivious) girlfriend, Cindy, an insensitive advice columnist on the cusp of losing her own job due to her poor advice and slow work habits. Finding that the truth behind his moving in has nothing to do with romance, Cindy runs off with another man. Ryan decides to stay in the apartment and earn a living by doing Cindy's job. Ryan establishes himself with Cindy's editor, Page, as Cindy's go-fer, collecting Cindy's paychecks and mail and delivering "her" columns. Initially as hopelessly inept as Cindy in giving advice, he nearly gets the column canceled. However, he rapidly grows into the job and the combination of forced introspection, research, and the growing knowledge that he is touching other people's lives transforms him. The column becomes an amazing success. Ryan finds his initially superficial attraction to Page growing into love, but he cannot reveal his feelings while he is a deceptive fraud. Meanwhile, Cindy becomes aware of "her" growing fame, and returns to cash in, at the same time that the owner of a rival newspaper chain attempts to force Page to sell "Cindy's" column to him. Story Summary: Trader Ryan is young and promising, not only excelling at work but also having a beautiful and sexy girlfriend. In order to become one of the company's shareholders as soon as possible, he decides to make a big deal. With some insider information from newspaper tycoon Simpson, Ryan informs his clients, hoping to make a fortune and turn his life around. However, unexpectedly, Ryan's lover is actually Simpson's wife. This leak was merely revenge against Ryan. Overnight, Ryan lost everything—no job, no big house, no car. Even his girlfriend, the lovely sweetheart Cindy, left him for a diamond mine owner in Africa. Ryan's life falls into chaos, and his mental state is on the verge of collapse. But a phone call to Cindy saves him; it turns out that his girlfriend, as a newspaper section consultant, has an upcoming submission deadline. However, Cindy is in Africa, so Ryan comes up with the idea to work in place of his girlfriend to earn money. The articles Ryan writes in Cindy's place make editor Ms. Hansen very unhappy, and in anger, she decides to cancel the section. Ryan pleads with her, giving various reasons to change her mind, even going so far as to use his charming looks to bribe the old and ugly secretary. Finally, Ms. Hansen agrees to give Ryan another chance. To write better articles, Ryan diligently studies various women's magazines, hoping to provide better advice to readers. His efforts pay off, as the newspaper with his articles sells rapidly, and Ms. Hansen's opinion of him begins to change. Of course, the author's name is still Cindy, and overnight, the name Cindy becomes a sensation. Major newspapers want to see her and obtain exclusive insider information. Ryan can only stall by saying that Cindy is sick and hard to meet, which only makes people more curious. The success of Cindy’s column makes Simpson envious, and he pressures Ms. Hansen to transfer Cindy’s collaboration rights to him, but she firmly refuses despite being in a difficult position. During their time together, Ryan and Ms. Hansen gradually develop feelings for each other. Ms. Hansen learns the truth about the situation, and together they support each other in dealing with Simpson’s mounting pressure, ultimately achieving victory.
