You are Not Alone begins by showing a 27-year-old young man named Ziwei who has never been in a relationship.
In addition to not having a girlfriend, Ziwei's parents died 10 years ago,
so now Ziwei lives alone in his small apartment.
Not only that, he has no relatives or friends, not even co-workers, making his life even more miserable.
On his 27th birthday, Ziwei's misfortune worsens when the office manager decides
to fire him because his life is too miserable and that it sad other office staff to the point of lowering productivity.
Hearing this, Ziwei begged his boss to reconsider the decision
because it was his birthday and he shouldn't feel sad on that special day.
However, his boss curtly replied that being unemployed at the age of 27 is better than being unemployed at the age of 28.
In the evening, Ziwei goes to a bar to drink and unwind after bad luck all day.
The youths on his left and right went to the bar with their girlfriend,
while Ziwei only came alone to complain about all the problems in his life to the bartender.
Not long after, a group of masked robbers entered the bar and pointed guns at the patrons.
The robbers ordered everyone to contact those closest to them to send a ransom so they could be released.
Everyone looked panicky but quickly contacted their family or couple to send the ransom immediately.
Meanwhile, Ziwei, who had no one, looked confused because he didn't know who to contact in such a situation.
In addition, he didn't have enough money to pay the ransom himself because he had just been fired from his job.
An hour later, the last two people who had sent the ransom were allowed to leave the bar,
while Ziwei was the only person still unable to leave the bar.
In fear, he pleads with the robbers to free him because he has nothing and no one to turn to for help.
Hearing his words, the robbers felt sorry for Ziwei, who had to live a miserable life.
Then they invited him to sit down together and tell them about his problems.
After hearing his story, the pitiful robbers intended to give Ziwei a part of the money they stole so that he could continue his life.
But suddenly, several police officers were waiting in front of the bar and ordered the robbers to get out immediately.
The robbers came out of the bar with Ziwei as their hostage because they thought he had contacted the police.
In fact, he was not the one who reported them.
The shootout between the robbers and police officers was unavoidable until,
in the end, all the robbers were brought down by the police.
Fortunately, Ziwei was not injured in the incident, but he seems to have yet to accept another misfortune.
When Ziwei tried to walk toward the police, he suddenly slipped on a banana peel,
causing him to fall and hit his head on the asphalt.
He was rushed to a hospital for treatment and began to regain consciousness a few hours later.
Ziwei lived alone without any relatives made his life even more complicated.
He could barely see the doctors and nurses looking worried because there were no relatives who came to accompany
him and sign the approval letters for action.
But unexpectedly, a girl suddenly appeared and claimed to be Ziwei's girlfriend, and she would sign all the administrative papers.
A few days later, Ziwei, who had recovered after treatment at the hospital, finally returned home.
However, he did not go home with the beautiful girl
who had previously helped him the other day because he was not aware of her existence.
That day, Ziwei decided to celebrate his birthday alone with a small piece of bread like he usually does all this time.
Not long after, the girl who had previously helped him came to his house and introduced herself as Angel.
However, Ziwei, who didn't know her and wasn't used to talking to women,
became nervous and immediately closed the door.
But she was still forced to enter his house until he finally allowed her to enter.
Angel then explains that she is an agent of a future insurance agency sent to help Ziwei.
It turned out that before his parents died, they had registered him in special insurance
where the insurance company would help Ziwei get a girlfriend if he was single until he was 27.
She then showed him a magic ring that could turn all inanimate objects into a girl. That means
Ziwei can choose any object in his house and turn it into a girl who will become his girlfriend in
the future. He can use the ring repeatedly for a trial, and payment will only be confirmed when
he has found a suitable girlfriend. That night when Ziwei took a bath and put on the magic ring,
he accidentally dropped his soap, which magically turned into a fat girl named Soaphie.
Soaphie, obsessed with cleanliness, immediately helped Ziwei clean his body, making him nervous.
The embarrassed Ziwei immediately pushed her out of the bathroom, and when she saw his dirty room,
she immediately cleaned the room until it was shiny. When Ziwei came out of the bathroom,
he found Soaphie busy cleaning up all the dust in his room. Soaphie always follows
Ziwei wherever he goes and is always obsessed with cleaning up whatever she feels is dirty.
When Ziwei has a chance to go out and meet Angel, he asks her to give him a thinner girlfriend.
Hearing this, Angel was annoyed but advised him to continue letting Soaphie clean things up. She
explained that Soaphie is soap, and she will run out if it continues to be used to clean things.
Since then, Ziwei began to bathe frequently every day until Soaphie seemed surprised by
his change in attitude. He also started playing soccer with his neighbors so that after the game,
Soaphie had the urge to clean his body. When Ziwei bathed with Soaphie at the public bathhouse, the
youths thought they were doing something together. After Ziwei finished bathing and got ready in the
locker room, a young man insulted him for having an ugly and fat girlfriend. But apparently,
after Soaphie came out of the bathroom, she turned into a slim and beautiful girl because she kept
cleaning things non-stop. Seeing Soaphie turning into a beautiful girl, Ziwei started to like her
and didn't want to let her clean up anything. Even he had stopped bathing for the past week
to continue to look after her, which frustrated Soaphie because she wanted to clean something up.
One night, Soaphie caught Ziwei having bought some new bath soap, which made her feel jealous.
Soaphie, who felt sad, ran away from the house when it was raining heavily, making her disappear
into a bubble. After Soaphie left, Ziwei chose to turn his goldfish into a girl in the hope that she
could last longer. The golden fish turned into a Japanese girl who couldn't understand mandarin
and only had 7 seconds of memory. Therefore, she often forgets things, including forgetting
that Ziwei is her boyfriend. To overcome this, Ziwei wrote his name and face on her arm so she
could remember who he was. Unfortunately, one day the golden fish girl accidentally deleted
the writing while cleaning her hands, so she forgot who Ziwei was and ran away from his house.
The panicked Ziwei immediately went to look for the golden fish girl, and after finding her at
a takoyaki stall, he took her home. When they got home, Ziwei started recording all
their togetherness and relationship so that the golden fish girl could watch the tape daily and
remember who he was. He also often makes vlogs with her to keep all their memories together.
But in the end, Ziwei felt tired and decided to turn the girl into a goldfish again.
After the goldfish girl left, Ziwei had a knife to turn into his next girlfriend because he wanted
a cool and badass girl. And as he predicted, the knife girl turned into a very cool and edgy girl
with quite a gothic appearance. But even though Ziwei has got the girl he wants, he becomes afraid
because she has very sharp martial arts skills, so he decides to obey all her words. The next day,
the knife girl asks Ziwei to take her to town to go to the knife shop where she was first made.
When she saw the knife maker using another knife and said it was the best, she became jealous and
broke her heart. Realizing that she will only love her knife maker, Ziwei chooses to turn her into
a knife again and leave the knife to the knife maker. That night, Angel meets Ziwei and scolds
him because he still hasn't found a suitable girl. She thinks he is too selfish and picky for someone
who has never had a girl. The frustrated Ziwei explains that he finds it difficult to talk and
have a relationship with a girl because of a past trauma that still haunts him. In the past, Ziwei
once had a girl close to him, but she instead reported him on charges of sexual harassment,
so he was traumatized. A few days later, Ziwei had the idea to change his smartphone to his
girlfriend because he was sure the girl knew all about him and understood his wishes. After Ziwei
threw his smartphone, the phone turned into a short-haired girl with a sophisticated robot-like
style that was able to read his mind. Moments after the girl appeared, she immediately ordered
Ziwei food from his favorite place and set the table according to his wishes. In the afternoon,
Ziwei and the smartphone girl went to Ziwei's favorite restaurant to eat his favorite menu.
But at the same time, the girl who had reported Ziwei suddenly appeared and
immediately recognized his whereabouts. Ziwei's ex-girlfriend boasted about her handsome and rich
boyfriend to embarrass Ziwei. The smartphone girl who felt the treatment of Ziwei's ex-girlfriend
immediately hacked her cellphone and sent messages to all her boyfriends. As a result,
all her boyfriends came simultaneously and immediately realized that she had had an affair,
so Ziwe's ex-girlfriend felt embarrassed and ran away from the place. Ziwei, who realized that this
was the work of the smartphone girl, became, even more love her. That night, when Ziwei fell asleep,
the smartphone girl suddenly turned into a very evil girl and intended to hurt him. She plans to
take revenge on Ziwei because he always tortured her when she was a smartphone. So far, he has
always treated his cellphone and other electronic devices badly, such as playing games when the
battery is running low or dropping his cellphone repeatedly, so she hates him so much. That night,
the smartphone girl stole Ziwei's magic ring and turned all electronic devices into humans so they
could help her operate Ziwei. She intends to turn him into a human robot so she can control him to
do everything she commands. The following day, they began to perform surgery by installing a
device in Ziwei's heart so that he had turned into a semi-robot human. A few days later,
Angel received a message from Ziwei that he would confirm the purchase of the smartphone
girl because he felt that she was suitable to be his girlfriend. But Angel realized something
was strange because the way he wrote the message was very different from usual.
In addition, his profile photo turned into a photo of a smartphone girl with a cat filter,
even though Ziwei had always hated cat filters, so Angel was increasingly convinced that something
was wrong with him. The scene then switches to Ziwei, who is currently starting to behave like a
robot and is forced to carry out various commands according to the smartphone girl's wishes.
In the evening, the smartphone girl takes Ziwei to a computer data storage room to find a larger
electronic device and transforms the device into a human. When she was busy looking for the device
and left Ziwei alone, Angel suddenly appeared and pulled him into a room. After resuscitating Ziwei,
Angel invites him to run away from the place, but their actions are caught by the smartphone girl.
The smartphone girl began to control Ziwei to attack Angel, but she managed to take him
away from his control range. Unfortunately, the smartphone girl again found them at the end of
the hall and immediately approached Ziwei to control him. When Ziwei is in control of the
smartphone girl and almost strangles Angel, she is forced to push him until he falls from a height.
But unexpectedly, the incident made Ziwei's heart return to normal because Angel pushed him
when she used a magic ring that could turn objects into humans. Now Ziwei has been
freed from the smartphone girl's control and has completely turned into a normal human.
The smartphone girl tries hard to beat Ziwei by turning the barbell and sword into a human.
But Angel overcame that by turning a bigger barbell and a Chinese sword general into humans.
In the end, the smartphone girl started to lose energy because her battery was running low and
Ziwei used the opportunity to unplug the power that was charging her. That makes the smartphone
girl turn into a cellphone again, and he finally manages to overcome all this mess. The next night,
Ziwei and Angel relaxed on a balcony taking in the night view of Beijing. They then took off
their magic rings and decided to have a romantic relationship. The film closes with the scene of
Ziwei and Angel holding hands and preparing to start their lives together. The moral
that can be learned from this movie is that the mate or partner we are looking for may not be a
new person we meet but someone who has been by our side or accompanied us in difficult times.
