Ryan is a womanizing stockbroker whose unethical business practices cost him his job and his trader's license. Unable to find another job, he is forced to move in with his equally self-involved (and completely oblivious) girlfriend, Cindy, an insensitive advice columnist on the cusp of losing her own job due to her poor advice and slow work habits. Finding that the truth behind his moving in has nothing to do with romance, Cindy runs off with another man. Ryan decides to stay in the apartment and earn a living by doing Cindy's job. Ryan establishes himself with Cindy's editor, Page, as Cindy's go-fer, collecting Cindy's paychecks and mail and delivering "her" columns. Initially as hopelessly inept as Cindy in giving advice, he nearly gets the column canceled. However, he rapidly grows into the job and the combination of forced introspection, research and the growing knowledge that he is touching other people's lives transforms him. The column becomes an amazing success. Ryan finds his initially superficial attraction to Page growing into love, but he cannot reveal his feelings while he is a deceptive fraud. Meanwhile, Cindy becomes aware of "her" growing fame, and returns to cash in, at the same time that the owner of a rival newspaper chain attempts to force Page to sell "Cindy's" column to him.故事梗概：
　　交易员瑞恩年轻有为，不但工作出色，还有一个漂亮性感的女朋友。为了早日成为公司的股东之一，他孤注一掷，决定做一笔大生意。从报业巨头辛普森那里，瑞恩得到了些许内幕，并告诉自己的客户们，希望从此得到巨额的利润，从此可以咸鱼翻身。但没想到的是，千不该万不该，瑞恩的情人竟然是辛普森的老婆。这次泄密只是为了报复瑞恩而已。一夜之间，瑞恩失去了所有，没有工作、没有大房子、没有汽车。连女朋友、可爱的小甜心辛迪也离开他，和一个钻石矿主去了非洲。瑞恩的生活陷入一片混乱，他的精神也几近崩溃。
　　但一个打给辛迪的电话拯救了他，原来身为报纸板块顾问的女朋友交稿的日期马上就到了。可是辛迪正在非洲，于是瑞恩灵机一动，决定代替女朋友工作以换取报酬。瑞恩代替辛迪写的稿件让主编汉森小姐十分不满，一气之下决定撤销板块。瑞恩软磨硬泡，举出种种理由让汉森小姐回心转意，甚至不惜使出美男计贿赂又老又丑的秘书。终于，汉森小姐答应再给瑞恩一次机会。
　　为了写出更好的稿件，瑞恩努力研读各种女性杂志，希望能够给读者更好的意见。功夫不负有心人，有他撰写稿件的报纸卖得飞快，汉森小姐对他的看法也有所改观。当然作者的名字仍然是辛迪，一夜之间，辛迪这个名字迅速火爆起来。各大报纸都想一睹芳容，得到独家内幕。瑞恩只能推托说辛迪正在生病，不易见人，但这只能让人们更加好奇。辛迪板块的成功让辛普森红了眼，威逼汉森小姐把辛迪的合作权转让给他，汉森小姐虽然左右为难，但还是强硬地拒绝了他。
　　此时没经过一段时间的相处，瑞恩和汉森之间渐渐萌生了感情。汉森也得知了整个事情的真相，于是二人彼此扶持，对付多多逼人的辛普森，并最终取得了胜利。
