What happens

Miss Puff (Chinese: 泡芙小姐) is a 2018 Chinese drama/romance film directed by Zhang Xinyi, starring Zhang Xinyi, Wang Yuexin, and Tan Weiwei. A spin-off from the eight-season animated series Miss Puff released on Youku in 2010 with over 1 billion views, the film was released in China on February 9, 2018. This film marks actress Zhang Xinyi’s directorial debut, who also co-wrote the plot with San Pi, the original creator and a Beijing animator. Miss Puff is often used as the nickname of a strong and self-sufficient woman with an overseas education. Pi San, the movie's art consultant and the animated series' director, says Miss Puff exemplifies the rising population of elite Chinese women, who are pursuing career success as well as genuine love.
