After A Disastrous End To A Relationship, Hawa โHappyโ Liu Embarks On A Quest To Find The Recipient Of His Donated Kidney And A Life That Lives Up To His Self-Given Moniker. Traveling From His Rural Home In Freshwind To The City Of XiโAn, Happy Brings Only An Eternally Positive Attitude, His Devoted Best Friend Wufu, And A Pair Of High-Heeled WomenโS Shoes He Hopes To Fill With The Love Of His Life.
