Taiwan faces a critical water shortage that significantly impacts daily life. The scarcity prompts both individuals and communities to find innovative ways to conserve water.

In a bizarre twist of fate, an unusual surplus of watermelons emerges in Taiwan. This unexpected development leads to a cultural shift where watermelons are embraced as a refreshing alternative amid the drought.

Television networks begin broadcasting a series of programs aimed at promoting watermelon consumption. These initiatives also highlight valuable water conservation tips, merging enjoyment with practicality.

Hsiao-kang, a dubious pornographic actor, finds his career taking a strange turn as he is directed to film intimate scenes with a watermelon as a prop. This unusual requirement reflects the absurdities brought on by the water shortage.

One day, while scavenging for water bottles, Shiang-chyi notices a watermelon floating in a nearby river. Seizing the opportunity, she retrieves it and continues on her way, leading to an unexpected encounter.

As Shiang-chyi walks with her watermelon, she crosses paths with Hsiao-kang, who is sleeping on a nearby bench. The two share a moment of surprise as they recognize each other from their past interactions selling watches.

Despite their unlikely meeting circumstances, Shiang-chyi and Hsiao-kang start to bond over shared experiences. Their time together involves moments of joy, including cooking and feeding each other slices of watermelon.

The connection between Shiang-chyi and Hsiao-kang intensifies as they visit a local video store. In a spontaneous display of affection, they kiss passionately in the adult film section, deepening their relationship.

The atmosphere shifts dramatically when Shiang-chyi stumbles upon an unconscious porn actress trapped in an elevator. Her instincts kick in, and she decides to help transport the woman, unknowingly heading toward Hsiao-kang's filming location.

As Shiang-chyi arrives at the filming location, she is horrified to see Hsiao-kang participating in a disturbing scene with the unconscious actress. The shocking sight of him in such a compromising position shakes her perception of him.

Hsiao-kang begins filming a scene that escalates into a heinous act on the unconscious actress. Shiang-chyi is left in disbelief, feeling powerless as she watches the depravity unfold before her.

The situation reaches an unimaginable climax as Hsiao-kang, consumed by his actions, violates Shiang-chyi in an unforgivable manner. This moment not only shatters her feelings for him but leaves her with deep psychological scars.
