First thoughts: 

🐼: This is light and fluffy romance with woodwork and architecture thrown in.  

The Chinese drama title is a cute play on words, in that the hero's name Qeng Feng means "clear wind", while the heroine's name Lang Yue means "bright moon".  So together, when there are clear winds and a bright moon, the timing is just right for flowers to bloom.
