Jiang Xiaoyuan showed her design to Qi Lian, and he agreed with Manager Cui's critique. While chatting, they noticed a menacing man at a nearby table bullying someone. Unable to stand by, Jiang Xiaoyuan intervened, and with Qi Lian's help, they drove the bully away. This incident inspired Jiang Xiaoyuan with new ideas. Despite planning to work all night on her designs, Qi Lian insisted she go back to rest. He suggested visiting the theater the next day to observe how the actors interpreted their roles.

However, Jiang Xiaoyuan's visit to the theater did not yield ideal results. The actors were not focused on rehearsals, and there was no time for in-depth discussions with Jiang Xiaoyuan. Many of them were struggling actors who had been laid off by larger theaters. Manager Cui, lacking experience in running a theater, often couldn't pay salaries on time, and the actors, though understanding, needed to make a living.

Undeterred, Jiang Xiaoyuan inquired about the part-time jobs the actors were doing. She spent a day working at a convenience store where she finally gained the actors' trust. They informed her of the upcoming joint rehearsal, where Jiang Xiaoyuan could showcase her skills. The next day, she arrived at the rehearsal venue, even buying coffee for everyone.

Qi Lian asked Chen Fangzhou to pick up pear soup he had specially cooked for Jiang Xiaoyuan, who had been coughing. However, Qi Lian wanted Chen Fangzhou to claim he made it himself. Chen Fangzhou, unwilling to take credit for someone else's work, refused, so Qi Lian went to fetch Jiang Xiaoyuan himself. Having interacted with the theater actors, Jiang Xiaoyuan had learned about their dedication to their goals. Qi Lian handed her a thermos, surprising her with pear soup. She wondered why he bothered to bring it if he claimed it was a casual visit. Jiang Xiaoyuan found Qi Lian's behavior strange and playfully asked if he liked her. Qi Lian changed the subject, informing Jiang Xiaoyuan that Huo Baiyu had temporarily left, allowing her to focus on work.

Manager Cui was pleased with Jiang Xiaoyuan's latest design and planned a formal photoshoot. Feng Ruixue was present, displaying her arrogant demeanor. Jiang Xiaoyuan defended the theater group against Feng Ruixue's disdain, leading to a heated confrontation. After this incident, Jiang Xiaoyuan offended Feng Ruixue and requested to work with someone else, which Manager Cui reluctantly agreed to. Back at the shop, Chen Fangzhou revealed that the headquarters had decided to cancel the beauty business, adding to Jiang Xiaoyuan's frustration.

Feeling upset, Jiang Xiaoyuan sat at the barbershop's entrance crying. The cancellation meant their efforts were in vain. A new makeup artist was driven away by Feng Ruixue, and with a performance approaching, Manager Cui urgently called Jiang Xiaoyuan for help. Feng Ruixue, displeased with Jiang Xiaoyuan, demanded her departure, but the cast refused to listen to her. The play was successful, and Jiang Xiaoyuan was touched by the actors' shining dedication to their dreams. Planning to treat Qi Lian to a big meal, she returned to the backstage area, only to find an unexpected person there – Huo Baiyu.
