Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun walked down the red carpet in front of the eager crowd. Everyone thought they had finally achieved a successful relationship, but to their surprise, Su Jishi announced their breakup, leaving everyone shocked. Let's go back in time to one year ago at the S Geopark. Su Jishi, a geology Ph.D., preferred a life of camping and exploring the truth of the universe rather than being an ordinary female doctorate. She led a team to explore the sand and stones in the mountains. One student requested to take a group photo as it was their last trip together. Su Jishi agreed and took off her glasses. The student noticed that she resembled the popular actress Su Jin. Su Jishi thought he was just flattering her.

They reached the mountaintop together. When a student was about to fall off a rockslide, Su Jishi quickly grabbed and saved him. Mu Xiulun returned from abroad and immediately set strict demands for the employees in the company. The assistant brought him coffee, thinking that Dr. Su was a man, which angered Mu Xiulun. However, Mu Xiulun explained that he was upset because he had waited for two hours without anyone showing up. The assistant was about to say something but silenced when Mu Xiulun threatened to withhold his bonus.

The scene shifts to an unknown place in S. Su Jishi's sister, Su Jinqing's agent, found Su Jishi and told her that her sister was missing. They came to find her. Su Jishi asked them what happened, and they informed her that both Su Jinqing and their mother had disappeared, but they were currently safe. Su Jishi recalled receiving a strange email from her sister and now seemed to have found the reason.

Su Jishi told them that she hadn't seen her sister in a long time and felt frustrated that they hadn't held them accountable for losing her. Now, they were targeting her. She opened the car door to get out but was pulled back by the agent, who informed her that if she didn't help, Su Jinqing would owe over ten million in breach of contract fines. Faced with money, Su Jishi had no choice but to compromise.

Mu Xiulun found a fake girlfriend to deceive his mother. When his mother found out, she pretended to cry, and Mu Xiulun and his sister hurriedly consoled her. Su Jishi accompanied the agent to the place where her sister used to work. The agent informed her that she would be Su Jin for the next three months and provided Su Jishi with Su Jin's information to familiarize herself with.

After some grooming, Su Jishi stunned even the agent. She looked exactly like Su Jin, a perfect imitation. Fang Jie, the agent, urged her to hurry to the event. Su Jishi arrived at the venue and realized she had been deceived when she saw so many people. Assistant Xiao Xia mistook her for Su Jin and happily embraced her. On her way back from the bathroom, Su Jishi overheard Mu Xiulun discussing geological exploration on the phone. She thought it was interesting to hear people talking about geological exploration in this kind of place. Mu Xiulun faced the completely different Su Jin and wondered if she had taken the wrong medication.

Su Jin's agent told Su Jishi that the next step was for Mu Xiulun to propose. Faced with his proposal, Su Jishi thought about her sister, whose work was controlled by someone who didn't respect female doctors. She picked up the microphone and rejected Mu Xiulun's proposal. The news shocked everyone at the event, as it was explosive news. Mu Xiulun couldn't understand why Su Jin had refused him, not knowing that the person rejecting him wasn't the real Su Jin. Back at Su Jin's home, looking at the achievements her sister had obtained, Su Jishi resolved not to let her sister's efforts go in vain.

Xiao Xia told Su Jishi that the popular fried chicken restaurant had sent her an invitation, hoping that she and Mu Xiulun could participate in their livestream. Fang Jie felt that they were using Su Jinqing and didn't want Su Jishi to go. However, Su Jishi not only wanted to go but also wanted to renegotiate the contract. Gao Ling reported the schedule to Mu Xiulun, and when he heard about the fried chicken restaurant, Mu Xiulun didn't realize when he had invested in that company. Mu Xiulun asked Gao Ling to cancel the event because he never ate sweet fried chicken.

Su Jishi looked at herself in the mirror and realized the difficulties her sister, Su Jinqing, had faced. She decided to help her sister earn enough breach of contract fines and told the makeup artist that she wanted a different look that day.

When Mu Xiulun heard Gao Ling mention that Su Jinqing was also in the fried chicken livestream room, he claimed he wasn't interested. However, his hand automatically opened the livestream room. When he heard Su Jishi saying in the livestream room that he had no boyfriend material, he brought fried chicken and entered the livestream room to prove that he had boyfriend material. His sister saw her brother in the livestream room and screamed in surprise, quickly calling Gao Ling to come and see. The two of them were in the livestream room, and the audience was paying attention to their every move. The staff wrote down "intimate behavior" on a sign for Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun to see. After seeing it, Mu Xiulun instinctively put his arm around Su Jishi, and the barrage of comments from the audience exploded.

To end the livestream earlier, Mu Xiulun messaged Gao Ling to buy all the fried chicken. Although Su Jishi was grateful to the person who bought all the chicken, she still told the audience to consume sensibly. Xiao Xia informed Fang Jie that Su Jishi was missing. Fang Jie believed she had taken the chicken and hid somewhere to eat. He asked Xiao Xia to quickly find her, jokingly saying she would gain weight from all the chicken. When Mu Xiulun was about to leave, he saw Su Jishi sitting alone on the stairs happily eating fried chicken. He couldn't help but feel a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth. Hearing Fang Jie calling for Su Jishi, he was afraid of being discovered and quickly hid.

Mu Xiulun looked at Su Jishi's recent changes and couldn't figure it out. When he saw his sister return, he called her over. His sister thought she was going to be scolded for her dating situation, but Mu Xiulun asked her about Su Jishi instead.

Both of them thought that Su Jinqing had suddenly changed so much because she was not simple and had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, probably trying to attract Mu Xiulun's attention. Mu Xiulun thought he would investigate to find out if she was trying to get his attention. Mu Xiulun's sister found her brother acting strangely today, so she quickly opened the livestream to see what had happened to make him behave that way.

Fang Jie watched the replay of the livestream and told Su Jishi how to face the audience from the right angle. But Su Jishi's mind was not focused on that. She only paid attention to the barrage of comments from the audience. Fang Jie got annoyed by her and told her that although the livestream was doing well, there would definitely be similar events in the future, so she should be prepared. Su Jishi told him that she was ready to do something important, which was to win over Mu Xiulun and continue working with him. Fang Jie was happy to hear that and immediately sent a WeChat message to Mu Xiulun to arrange a meeting. Su Jishi snatched the phone from him and said she hoped he would respond quickly.

Su Jishi straightforwardly told Mu Xiulun that she wanted to continue working with him. Mu Xiulun asked her why she thought he would agree to her request. Su Jishi told him that it would be beneficial for both of them. Mu Xiulun also thought about his mother urging him to get married and eventually agreed to her request. Looking at the extraordinary Su Jishi, Mu Xiulun felt that even though they had known each other for three years, he had truly understood her only in the past few days. After dinner, the two of them went to the mountain, and Su Jishi saw a shooting star. She told Mu Xiulun many stories about shooting stars, and Mu Xiulun thought she had studied geology to get his attention.

Su Jishi explained to Fang Jie about the future development trends. She believed that because of Su Jinqing, they could better penetrate the youth market. After hearing this, Fang Jie told Su Jishi that only if her sister, Su Jinqing, developed well, it would bring more benefits to Mu Xiulun. Xiao Xia ran over and showed Su Jishi the photos taken by paparazzi yesterday. After seeing them, Su Jishi said the photos made her look fat. Xiao Xia told her that the focus was not that, but rather that internet users were discussing her weight gain. Su Jishi didn't think it was a bad thing. She thought that they could use this incident to increase her popularity, and Mu Xiulun might agree to continue working with them.

Su Jishi swung on a yoga ball and asked Xiao Xia to take photos of her. She then adjusted the photos with filters and asked Xiao Xia to post them on social media. Fang Jie told internet users that Miss Su had recently fallen in love with outdoor activities, and she had gotten a bit tanned. Since the photos were posted, many people called to cooperate with her for sports brands. Xiao Xia told Su Jishi that some people online agreed with her, but some said she had deliberately posed and dressed to make herself look fat. Su Jishi snatched the phone and edited a long paragraph to tell the internet users her true thoughts. Xiao Xia and Fang Jie quickly took the phone back from her, thinking that if they posted that paragraph, their potential cooperation would fall apart.

Su Jishi told them that only these genuine thoughts could win the favor of internet users. She told Fang Jie that she had already posted it. Fang Jie told her that those influential figures in public opinion were probably waiting for her to slip up. However, Su Jishi didn't think it mattered. She believed that all living things on Earth relied on the sun for survival, and the sun didn't exist because of them. Xiao Xia thought her Su Jie had become handsome recently. Gao Ling brought his phone to Mu Xiulun and showed him that Su Jinqing was trending again. After Mu Xiulun finished reading, he angrily prepared to throw the phone into the water. Gao Ling quickly stopped him because it was his phone. In order to make Mu Xiulun feel better, he threw one of Mu Xiulun's watches into the water. Mu Xiulun was speechless about his behavior and asked Gao Ling to retrieve it. Gao Ling requested a vacation as a condition, and they made a bet. Mu Xiulun immediately jumped into the water and retrieved the watch.

When Mu Xiulun came out of the swimming pool, he happened to see Su Jishi approaching him. He thought he had made it clear enough, but she had chased after him. Su Jishi told Mu Xiulun that her Weibo post had gained some new followers for his company, and she could help maintain this situation. Mu Xiulun thought the risk of working with her was too high. He was not daring enough for this high-risk, high-reward behavior. He told Su Jishi that if she jumped into the swimming pool, he would agree to work with her. Su Jishi immediately went over to prepare to jump, but Mu Xiulun quickly grabbed her.

Su Jishi came to the company to find Mu Xiulun, attracting the attention of the employees. She told Mu Xiulun that she could help him with the nickel project he was working on. Su Jishi took Mu Xiulun to the library to look for information. Mu Xiulun thought she was up to something again. Just as she was about to take a book from the top shelf, the book almost fell, but Mu Xiulun quickly caught it. Su Jishi assured him that she could take care of herself. Suddenly, there was a power outage in the library, and it became pitch black. Although Su Jishi was afraid of the dark, she pretended not to be scared.

Mu Xiulun thought Su Jishi was already strong enough. Why did she insist on working with him? Su Jishi told him it was because she wanted to become stronger to protect someone's dream. In order to continue working with Mu Xiulun, Su Jishi kept bothering him all the time. Fang Jie got her a role in a TV drama, but Su Jishi had no idea how to act. Fang Jie told her some acting techniques, and Xiao Xia noticed something unusual. Fang Jie was afraid of being exposed, so he quickly said it was because she wasn't feeling well. Su Jishi was completely clueless about acting, and Fang Jie had no choice but to think of finding a partner to practice with them. They planned to ask Mu Xiulun to join them.

Su Jishi has already acted 117 times, but the director is still not satisfied. After calling for a halt, he scolded Su Jishi. The other people on the set also complained about Su Jishi's frequent mistakes. Mu Xiulun saw this and fell into deep thought. Back in the RV, Su Jishi was feeling very down. Xiao Xia brought her a lot of food, but she wasn't interested. She didn't even care about her favorite fried chicken. She told Xiao Xia that she wanted to be alone for a while. Fang Jie suggested that Xiao Xia go eat, and he would accompany Su Jishi for a while. Su Jishi felt like a failure, as she felt that she had ruined Su Jinqing's career. Fang Jie asked her to talk about the scene where Su Jinqing was slapped during a photoshoot, as she didn't need a stand-in and took the slaps herself.

After listening to Fang Jie, she became even more determined to protect Su Jinqing's current position. She immediately gained confidence and started studying the script for the next scene. Mu Xiulun asked her to find him, but Fang Jie said it would be embarrassing if she went. However, they said that if Su Jishi went to see him, he would agree to renew their contract. Mu Xiulun saw Su Jishi running towards him happily and thought she was so enthusiastic that he should cooperate with her. But to his surprise, Su Jishi wasn't there for him but for Director Zhang, who was standing behind him. Su Jishi was a loyal fan of Director Zhang.

Director Zhang came because his daughter loved Su Jishi's character, Ba La Xiao Xian Nu. Su Jishi was excited and wanted to take a photo with Director Zhang. After Director Zhang left, Mu Xiulun told her that because of her good performance that day, he forgave her previous reckless behavior and agreed to her request.

Mu Xiulun was curious why Su Jishi, a solo star, knew so much about geology. He thought she must have studied it because of him, but Su Jishi told him not to be so narcissistic and that she studied it purely out of interest. Su Jishi arrived on set and started acting. Ms. Xu, a teacher on set, didn't like Su Jishi and intentionally made things difficult for her during their scenes together. Mu Xiulun couldn't stand it anymore and defended Su Jishi against Ms. Xu.

Su Jishi received praise from the director for her acting this time. Fang Jie and Xiao Xia came to congratulate her on her success, and they were all happy. Su Jishi kept looking around, and Xiao Xia told her that Mu Xiulun had already left due to something urgent. Su Jishi pretended she wasn't looking for him, and after some teasing from Xiao Xia and Fang Jie, she told them she didn't want to owe him any favors. Mu Xiulun was worried about his collaboration with Director Zhang and knew that he was preoccupied with his granddaughter's situation.

Mu Xiulun called Fang Jie to inform him that he agreed to let Gao Ling pretend to be Su Jishi's boyfriend. Fang Jie was thrilled to hear that and told Mu Xiulun that Su Jishi didn't want to owe him any favors. Mu Xiulun assured him that he wouldn't let her help him for nothing and that he also had something for Su Jishi to do. Fang Jie became wary and asked if it was something strange, but Mu Xiulun told him to forget it if he wasn't willing. Fang Jie immediately agreed. The next day, Mu Xiulun, Gao Ling, and Su Jishi met at the agreed location to prepare for their simulated rehearsal. Gao Ling told her to do things that couples would normally do.

Mu Xiulun saw Su Jishi practicing those couple activities with Gao Ling and couldn't bear it anymore. He finally stepped in and practiced with Su Jishi himself. Mu Xiaoman was preparing to go on a date with her boyfriend, and Gao Ling wanted to accompany her. However, Mu Xiaoman refused. Gao Ling overheard their phone conversation and secretly followed them to the meeting place. He discovered that the guy was trying to deceive Mu Xiaoman, so he confronted him in a small alley and beat him up. Su Jishi, feeling upset because she didn't perform well in the scene and was criticized by the director, was hiding in the tent. Mu Xiulun came, opened the tent, comforted her, and asked her to help Director Zhang's granddaughter.

Mu Xiulun recalled the lines that Su Jishi had said on set and couldn't help but feel his heart racing. Mu Xiulun didn't know what was happening to him, but whenever he thought of Su Jishi, his heart would race. He speculated that he had developed feelings for Su Jishi, but he didn't want to admit it to himself. He opened his computer and searched for a horror movie to test his heart rate, but it was only seventy beats per minute. So he used the method of counting mines to hypnotize himself to sleep.

Su Jishi was still passionately rehearsing her lines, and Fang Jie and Xiao Xia were already exhausted. Su Jishi asked Xiao Xia how she did in her performance, and Xiao Xia smoothly replied that she looked good with a fangirl filter on. Fang Jie earnestly told Su Jishi that if her performance wasn't good enough, she could seek guidance from a teacher and shouldn't be so stuck on the lines. It was already 5 o'clock. Su Jishi also knew that everyone was tired, so she let them go back to rest. Upon hearing this, the three of them hurriedly escaped.

Mu Xiulun had been counting mines all along, but he was still alert. So he called Gao Ling and asked him to send tomorrow's meeting materials. Gao Ling felt that Mu Xiulun was acting strange and thought that he had been affected by Su Jishi. Mu Xiulun retorted, saying that no one could affect him and thought that what Gao Ling said was nonsense. He couldn't possibly be affected, so he continued to lie in bed and count.

The next day, during the meeting, Mu Xiulun couldn't control his thoughts about Su Jishi and was absent-minded. Su Jishi sent him the lines she had read, and Gao Ling noticed that Mu Xiulun's face was flushed, and his heart rate was fast. Mu Xiulun firmly denied that he was affected by Su Jishi and, just after saying that, he received a voice message from Su Jishi asking for his feedback. Even though his heart was racing, Mu Xiulun insisted that he didn't feel anything. Su Jishi wasn't discouraged and decided to practice until Mu Xiulun felt something. She continued to send voice messages with lines to Mu Xiulun, and his mind was in chaos all day. Whenever he saw Su Jishi, he wanted to hide.

Mu Xiulun was surprised to see Su Jishi in front of his house and felt a little startled. After calming himself down, he went inside with Su Jishi and realized that it was all a setup by his mother. When Su Jishi saw the rose petals on the bed, she understood what Mu Xiulun's mother meant. Just as she was about to leave, Mu Xiulun asked Su Jishi to help him deal with his mother this time, promising to give her a 20% reward. Su Jishi agreed. Mu Xiulun's mother was very excited and took photos of her son and Su Jishi together. As soon as they finished, Mu Xiulun kept wiping his sweat, and Su Jishi felt that Mu Xiulun seemed a bit disgusted with her. Su Jishi kept digging pits in front of Mu Xiulun's mother, and Mu Xiulun had no choice but to cooperate.

Mu Xiulun's mother felt that her son and Su Jishi were already close to being in a relationship and showed a photo of Mu Xiulun to Su Jishi. Su Jishi had already seen Mu Xiulun's information in advance and accurately described the details of the events in the photos, successfully deceiving her. Mu Xiulun was also surprised, and his mother was overjoyed. Mu Xiulun's mother brought out some geological pictures and asked Su Jishi about them. Su Jishi easily answered, so to prevent his mother from asking more tricky questions, Mu Xiulun quickly said that Su Jishi was good at cooking, while Su Jishi said she was just helping and that Mu Xiulun was the main chef. Su Jishi went through hardships to make a plate of shredded potatoes but forgot to add salt. Mu Xiulun couldn't stand it and took the initiative to cook. Mu's mother was very happy. Mu Xiaoman returned home in a bad mood and locked herself in her room.

Mu Xiulun felt that love would be futile without results and thought it would be better not to pursue it. However, Su Jishi believed that enjoying the process of being in a relationship was the most important. Mu Xiaoman mistakenly thought that her brother had forced her boyfriend to break up with her, and the siblings had a falling out. Just as Mu Xiulun was about to go upstairs, he saw Su Jishi taking Mu Xiaoman out. Mu Xiaoman saw her boyfriend cheating and teamed up with Su Jishi to confront him. Mu Xiulun and Gao Ling arrived to clean up the mess. Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi confronted each other, with Su Jishi believing that Mu Xiaoman should walk her own path. However, Mu Xiulun felt that as her brother, he had an obligation to help his sister overcome obstacles. Gao Ling saw Mu Xiaoman heartbroken and couldn't help but comfort her.

Su Jishi thought of Mu Xiulun's mother's reaction and quickly pretended to be drunk and unwilling to go back. Mu Xiulun quickly tricked his sister into going to a hotel to sleep. Under his mother's pressure, Mu Xiulun was about to reveal the truth, but Su Jishi quickly lied to his mother that they had gone to a hotel, successfully avoiding a disaster. Mu Xiaoman really liked Su Jishi and wanted her to become her sister-in-law. Mu Xiaoman arranged for Mu Xiulun to meet with Gao Ling for a competition.

Mu Xiulun thought that Su Jishi wanted to make peace with him and generously forgave her for inciting Mu Xiaoman. However, it was awkward because Su Jishi only wanted to borrow a bow. During Mu Xiulun's match with Gao Ling, he was influenced by Su Jishi and lost. Gao Ling and the others were thrilled and jumped in joy. Mu Xiulun had no choice but to fulfill his promise and give Gao Ling a week off.

Gao Ling was extremely pleased. He had thought he would never defeat Mu Xiulun in his lifetime, but winning felt so satisfying. Mu Xiulun thought Gao Ling was crazy and decided to have a rematch. He teamed up with Su Jishi, who didn't know how to play tennis. Mu Xiulun decided to teach Su Jishi on the spot.

Su Jishi, being a top student, quickly grasped the techniques. During their third match, a child ran onto the court, and Su Jishi almost fell while trying to protect the child. Mu Xiulun quickly rushed to protect Su Jishi. The child's parents were furious and refused to let the matter go. The child spoke the truth but was scolded by his father. Seeing this scene, Mu Xiulun was reminded of his past mistakes and felt a bit down. Su Jishi came to comfort him and gently applied medicine to his wounds. Su Jishi learned from Mu Xiaoman that Mu Xiulun may have been injured in his childhood, and she was curious about it.

Mu Xiaoman confessed to Su Jishi that she orchestrated her brother's romantic relationship with her. Su Jishi believed she had no feelings for Mu Xiulun and wouldn't develop as Mu Xiaoman had imagined. When Mu Xiulun's mother saw Su Jishi's injured hand, she quickly asked Mu Xiulun to take care of Su Jishi. Su Jishi took advantage of the situation and bossed Mu Xiulun around. Under Mu Mother's supervision, Mu Xiulun had no choice but to obediently follow along. Fang Jie was afraid that Su Jishi would gain weight without his supervision.

Su Jishi pouted her lips, asking Mu Xiulun to wipe them. At first, Mu Xiulun was stunned, thinking she wanted him to kiss her. Su Jishi listened to Mu Xiulun singing and couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, she maintained a tough exterior and said Mu Xiulun's singing was nothing special. While everyone was having fun, Mu Zhengmin came to find Mu Xiulun. As his uncle, he believed that Mu Xiulun lacked the courage to achieve great things. Su Jishi overheard their conversation and deliberately spilled coffee on Mu Zhengmin when he came out. She also made sarcastic remarks about Mu Zhengmin in front of Mu Mother. Mu Zhengmin intentionally mentioned that Su Jishi didn't want children, and Su Jishi retorted by insinuating that Mu Zhengmin had a disease and couldn't have children. Mu Mother intervened and prevented a big conflict.

Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun returned to the room and found the bed arranged by Mu Mother. They quickly fled and played in the backyard. Mu Xiulun mentioned that he had never played on a slide since he was adopted by the Mu family and wanted to repay his adoptive parents' kindness by constantly learning. Su Jishi brought some bugs and put them in Mu Zhengmin's room with Mu Xiulun. They continued to count the stars in the yard. While counting, Su Jishi fell asleep in Mu Xiulun's arms. Mu Xiulun carried Su Jishi back to the room and, as he looked at her, unexpectedly, Su Jishi kissed him when he least expected it, causing his heart to race. Mu Mother was outside listening and became anxious.

Su Jishi was furious to find herself and Mu Xiulun sleeping on the same bed. While she was arguing with Mu Xiulun, Mu Mother happened to come to check on them. The two had to act affectionate and loving until Mu Mother left, and then they resumed their confrontational attitude. Su Jishi felt relieved that nothing had happened between her and Mu Xiulun and, while sitting at the dining table, suddenly recalled the image of Mu Xiulun kissing her yesterday, causing her to shiver. Mu Xiulun, holding a photo, stubbornly claimed that he had no feelings for Su Jishi, but while lying in bed, he couldn't help but think of her and even fantasized about ambiguous scenes with her.

Mu Xiulun was dreaming about being intimate with Su Jishi when suddenly he was awakened by the sound of the doorbell. He immediately snapped out of it and felt like he was going crazy. How could he have such thoughts about this woman? Mu Xiulun opened the door with Gao Ling, and before Gao Ling could speak, Mu Xiulun informed him that there would be no bonuses for this month, next month, and the month after. Gao Ling tried to slip away but was stopped by Mu Xiulun. Gao Ling had found the small and medium-sized companies for mergers and acquisitions that Mu Xiulun had asked him to find last month. Watching Mu Xiulun enter the house, Gao Ling felt that the boss had a terrible temper in the morning.

Su Jishi looked at the script and hummed a song while Fang Jie wore a worried expression. Su Jishi said she would rather participate in more variety shows than cooperate with Mu Xiulun. Fang Jie said he felt sorry for Xiaoxia, who was still trapped in the candy-like romance between Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi. Fang Jie mentioned that the endorsement fee for the Tianqian Automobile advertisement, which Xiaojin endorsed, was relatively high, and it was a well-established brand that had maintained its reputation over the years with almost no problems. Su Jishi hesitated, but Fang Jie explained that they could promote the brand and enhance Su Jishi's commercial value. He asked why they shouldn't take advantage of such a good opportunity. Su Jishi felt that she was just temporarily replacing her sister and would leave after it was over, so this cooperation would be a breach of contract. However, Fang Jie secretly wanted Su Jishi to stay. Su Jishi believed that something fake could never become real.

While working, Mu Xiulun kept looking at his phone, hoping that Su Jishi would message him, while Su Jishi was busy shooting an advertisement. Mu Xiulun muttered to himself, saying that Su Jishi disappeared for a week after kissing him and gritted his teeth, saying it was good. Mu Xiulun really wanted to ask Su Jishi out, and Gao Ling reminded him that he had arranged for them to have a date once a month. Gao Ling suggested that Mu Xiulun could borrow and return things to increase their chances of meeting.

After finishing work, Su Jishi heard from Fang Jie that Mu Xiulun wanted to invite her out. Without hesitation, Su Jishi directly refused. Mu Xiulun sent a picture of a small hammer and, without another word, Su Jishi agreed to the date and even suggested having breakfast together. Mu Xiulun felt a bit self-centered, thinking that Su Jishi really wanted to see him. He quickly got up, changed into nice clothes, and went to meet Su Jishi. When Mu Xiulun arrived at the breakfast restaurant, he thought he had come to the wrong place. He saw Su Jishi wearing a face mask and mocked her for not paying attention to the image of a female celebrity. Mu Xiulun sat down elegantly to eat, feeling that the current Su Jishi was more real than before. Su Jishi thought Mu Xiulun was saying that she looked real wearing pajamas and a face mask while eating and sarcastically commented on his shallowness.

Mu Xiulun continued by saying that Su Jishi was quite comical. While having breakfast, a girl sitting nearby wanted to add Mu Xiulun on WeChat, and Mu Xiulun told her that Su Jishi was his girlfriend. Su Jishi accidentally spilled soy milk on Mu Xiulun when she pushed him away. Mu Xiulun went to Su Jishi's room and accidentally picked up her underwear, which Su Jishi teased him about. Mu Xiaoman was having a conversation with someone from the company, and Gao Ling, feeling jealous, drove the person away. Mu Xiulun overheard Su Jishi saying that he was her partner when she talked in her sleep, and he angrily walked away.

When Su Jishi went for contract renewal, she ran into Mu Xiulun, who pretended to be aloof and ignored her. Su Jishi couldn't stand the attitude of the advertiser and splashed wine on Huang Zong. Mu Xiulun rushed to save Su Jishi and carried her away. Su Jishi noticed that Mu Xiulun cared about her, but he stubbornly denied it, believing that Su Jishi was more stubborn than anyone else.

Fang Jie thought that Mu Xiulun was genuinely nervous about Su Jishi today, but Su Jishi didn't think so. Someone in the planning meeting mentioned that they had sent the wrong clothes, which angered Su Jishi, and she left directly. Su Jishi believed that she shouldn't change herself because of others' opinions. Mu Xiulun saw explicit photos of Su Jishi and saw comments online calling her his wife, which made Mu Xiulun feel a bit uncomfortable. Mu Mother thought her son had a fight with Su Jishi, so Mu Xiulun decided to live together with Su Jishi. When Su Jishi woke up and saw that Mu Xiulun wanted to live with her, she felt that Mu Xiulun was going too far in taking advantage of her.

Su Jishi felt that Mu Xiulun was going too far and decided to live with him for five days during the final negotiation. She called Fang Jie and said she wanted to kick Mu Xiulun out of the project. Fang Jie begged her to spare him, or else it would be reported in tomorrow's news, and their entire team would suffer. He advised Su Jishi to endure it for a few days and then part ways amicably. Su Jishi thought it was their own private matter and feared that if Mu Xiulun found out, they would end up in court.

Mu Xiulun saw many geological books in Su Jishi's room and arrogantly believed that Su Jishi liked him. Su Jishi took the books away, and Mu Xiulun was curious about her interest in geology. Su Jishi said everyone has their own hobbies that don't need explaining. She also asked if Mu Xiulun had a stereotypical impression, thinking that female artists like herself should only be interested in shopping and not have any intellectual pursuits. Mu Xiulun looked at Su Jishi and said that the old Su Jishi never dared to look him in the eyes. Su Jishi approached Mu Xiulun and said that he used to be afraid to look at her as well, blushing now. Just as they were arguing, Mu's mother arrived and said she would accompany the young couple for a week.

Mu Xiaoman avoided Gao Ling when she saw him. Gao Ling tried to find a topic and forced Mu Xiaoman to work with him. He also invited her to an amusement park. Mu Xiaoman and Gao Ling rode a roller coaster, and she screamed in fear. Mu Xiaoman was angry that everyone treated her like a child and didn't need others to pamper her or interfere in her relationships. Mu Xiaoman and Gao Ling had a great time at the amusement park.

Su Jishi didn't want Mu's mother to stay, but Mu Xiulun kept supporting his mother, insisting she should stay. Soon, Mu Xiulun felt like he had shot himself in the foot. Gao Ling promised Mu Xiaoman that he would let go when she grew up. Mu Xiulun refused to sleep on the floor and moved to the bed, thinking the teddy bear in the middle was a bit annoying. In the morning, Su Jishi touched Mu Xiulun affectionately, making him happy. Mu Xiaoman brought breakfast to Gao Ling in the morning and refused her colleagues' invitations.

Mu Xiulun was stepped on by his uncle and wanted to change the company's CEO. Mu Xiaoman called Su Jishi and informed her that Mu Xiulun interrupted the cooperation with Tianqian Group. Su Jishi comforted Mu Xiulun, and he opened up to her, finally kissing her.

While sleeping, Mu Xiulun remembered unfinished work and reached for his phone. Su Jishi thought he was up to something and screamed. Mu Xiulun's uncle intervened and tried to choose another CEO for the board of directors. Mu Xiulun arrived at the scene and told everyone about the scandal in Tianqian Group. They all agreed to invalidate the election, and Mu Xiulun's uncle got angry and vented his anger on those around him but couldn't change the situation.

Mu Xiulun wanted to invite Su Jishi to dinner, but Fang Jie told him that Su Jishi didn't have time. Gao Ling hinted that he knew Su Jishi's schedule for the week and there was no time. Gao Ling advised Mu Xiulun not to push too hard when pursuing someone. Su Jishi didn't want to have dinner with Mu Xiulun and used Fang Jie as an excuse to reject him.

Mu Xiulun saw Su Jishi return home and directly asked if she had been avoiding him lately. Su Jishi pretended not to care and asked him to leave her house. Mu Xiulun decided to leave in the morning but heard Su Jishi say that a kiss meant nothing to her. He felt uneasy. Su Jishi woke up in the morning and found the living room empty. Mu's mother had prepared breakfast for her and left a note reminding her to take care of her health and have a balanced diet. Su Jishi felt a bit disappointed seeing that Mu Xiulun wasn't there on the sofa but consoled herself, thinking that she would be free after they left.

Mu Xiaoman came to work in the morning and brought breakfast for Gao Ling. At lunchtime, she even prepared chicken legs for him. Gao Ling found Mu Xiaoman a bit strange. When she offered him snacks again, he directly told her not to buy things that they couldn't finish, as it would be wasteful to buy something and then throw it away. Mu Xiaoman felt infuriated by Gao Ling's words and angrily asked if he wanted their love to end.

Mu Xiaoman imagined scenes of her and Gao Ling playing together at an amusement park. Gao Ling noticed her daydreaming and was surprised to find out that she was imagining them kissing.

Following Gao Ling, Mu Xiaoman discovered him being intimate with someone else, leading to a big misunderstanding.

Mu Xiulun was troubled by his relationship with Su Jishi and sought Gao Ling's advice. He didn't want to be straightforward about it as it might affect his demeanor, so he used an example of a friend who wanted to take his mine. Gao Ling thought the person was engaging in illegal activities and wanted to report them. Mu Xiulun hurriedly clarified that it was a voluntary situation, and Gao Ling understood what he meant, agreeing to help him handle the matter.

Gao Ling arranged a beautiful female translator for Mu Xiulun to make Su Jishi jealous. When Su Jishi heard that there was a banquet nearby, possibly with Mu Xiulun present, and someone was secretly taking pictures of Mu, she felt uneasy and decided to change into a formal dress and go there.

Inside, Mu Xiulun was leisurely drinking with business tycoons when he saw Su Jishi arrive. As she called him over, he was about to go, but Gao Ling held him back, saying that if he wants to catch fish, he must learn to wait.

Fang Jie saw that Mu Xiulun didn't follow Su Jishi, and now she was angry and wanted to send Mu Xiulun a lawyer's letter. Mu Xiulun felt that things were getting out of hand, and even his mother scolded him over the phone. Gao Ling also felt it was getting out of control.

Mu Xiaoman advised her brother to apologize to Su Jishi quickly. Xiao Xia was afraid that Su Jishi would see online pictures of Mu Xiulun with other women, but Su Jishi didn't care.

While filming, Xu Yadan accidentally pushed Su Jishi, and Mu Xiulun caught her during the crisis. Xu Yadan thought Mu Xiulun had found a new love interest and didn't want Su Jishi anymore. When Mu Xiulun applied medicine to Su Jishi, she felt a bit embarrassed. Upon hearing Su Jishi complain about having a new love interest, Mu Xiulun felt that Su Jishi still had feelings for him.

Mu Xiaoman saw Gao Ling shielding her from the rain and was deeply moved. She openly told Gao Ling that she seemed to have fallen for him, but Gao Ling didn't dare to admit his feelings.

Fang Jie warned Su Jishi to be careful with Xu Yadan and said he would go see her tomorrow. However, Su Jishi hung up the call. Later, while drunk, Su Jishi accidentally revealed her name as "Su Jishi," and Mu Xiulun thought she was just speaking nonsense due to intoxication. In the bathroom, Su Jishi confessed that she seemed to have feelings for Mu Xiulun.

Mu Xiulun noticed something strange about Su Jishi and asked Gao Ling to investigate Su Jishi's family background in detail. Su Jishi went to the horse stable to choose a horse and ended up picking an entire stable. When she finally found one that suited her, she was told that the horse belonged to someone else and had a difficult temperament.

Gao Ling refused on behalf of Mu Xiulun to borrow someone else's horse. Su Jishi found the voice on the other end of the phone familiar and sent a picture to Mu Xiulun, suspecting it was Gao Ling.

While making a call, Gao Ling saw Mu Xiaoman in the elevator and quickly hid. Mu Xiulun arrived at the horse stable after learning that Su Jishi had borrowed a horse. He showed up riding a horse impressively, leaving Su Jishi stunned. She almost slipped and revealed that she knew how to ride a horse. Mu Xiulun patiently taught Su Jishi how to ride and even gave her an apple afterward, which she mistakenly thought was for her and not the horse, leading to a humorous mention of "Doctor Su."

Su Jishi was startled when Mu Xiulun called her "Dr. Su" but remained calm on the surface. It turned out that horses were as difficult to handle as she was. Mu Xiulun, seeing that he couldn't find the answer he wanted, continued by saying that he remembered Su Jishi used to be frightened while filming, but now she seemed unafraid of horses and even felt she could ride them. Su Jishi fabricated a story, claiming that she later learned how to deal with horses, so she wasn't afraid of riding anymore. She also boasted about her talents, saying she had an extraordinary feeling and was gifted in this aspect.

Trying to apologize, Mu Xiulun suggested to Su Jishi that honesty is the best policy, whether dealing with family or friends, deception doesn't solve anything. Su Jishi awkwardly laughed it off, claiming she had long forgotten about it.

Gao Ling discovered Su Jishi's background and found out that Su Jinqing and Su Jishi were twin sisters who were separated and raised by different parents. The sister's name was Su Jishi, and Mu Xiulun's earliest admiration was for a female geologist named Su Jishi. At first, Gao Ling thought it was highly improbable, but after an extensive internet search, he found a student of geology named Jishi Su, leading him to deduce that she was the one Mu Xiulun admired.

Su Jishi thought of what Mu Xiulun said and wanted to tell him her true identity. Fang Jie opposed this, but Su Jishi decided to give up the idea. She took many pictures, but her gentle side couldn't be captured. When Mu Xiulun arrived at the film set and praised her beauty, the photographer captured the moment. Mu Xiulun attempted to test Su Jishi, and she unconsciously responded, realizing she slipped up and pretended not to know.

Feeling deceived by Su Jishi's reluctance to confess her identity, Mu Xiulun became angry and wanted to leave. However, he then mentioned an upcoming geology forum and invited Su Jishi, who didn't notice she had fallen into his trap, still thinking that Mu Xiulun was acting strangely today.

Mu Xiulun told Su Jishi that he had always played a certain role, and she confessed she only acted in films out of necessity. Su Jishi thought of Su Jinqing and didn't want her sister to lose her job, so she abandoned the idea of confessing. When she heard her teacher might come to the scene, she asked Fang Jie to come and help her escape.

Su Jishi felt she couldn't confess to Mu Xiulun herself but also couldn't keep deceiving him, so she decided to let Fang Jie be the "villain." Gao Ling, curious about Mu Xiulun's unusual behavior, saw him getting drunk at a bar.

Gao Ling found Mu Xiaoman lying in bed sick and took the responsibility of taking care of her. He read her stories until she fell asleep but woke up when she was about to kiss him. Su Jishi's mood was a bit low, but upon hearing information related to Mu Xiulun, she regained her spirits.

Mu Minguang mocked Mu Xiulun for not being able to control Su Jishi, which might affect the company's image. Su Jishi confidently faced interviews with reporters. Mu Xiulun believed that Su Jishi had her reasons for not wanting to talk, and he was determined to protect her.

Su Jishi made plans to meet with Fang Jie and decided to confess her identity to Mu Xiulun. Mu Xiulun was also excited and bought a bouquet of flowers, arriving early at the scene. Su Jishi noticed that Su Jinqing liked Mu Xiulun and decided to break their appointment for her sister's sake.

Mu Xiulun asked Gao Ling what to do if he was stood up by someone. When he heard about Su Jishi's movie event, he felt happy inside but acted nonchalant on the outside, telling Gao Ling he would consider it. However, on the day of the event, he arrived at Su Jishi's company early, wanting to personally accompany her to the movie event.

Su Jishi noticed that Mu Xiulun was implying to her not to develop feelings for someone her sister likes. Mu Xiulun wanted Su Jishi to explain why she stood him up, promising that he would believe any explanation, no matter how absurd it sounded. However, Su Jishi didn't want to be honest with him, and they ended up parting ways on bad terms.

At the film set, Su Jishi encountered her rival, Xu Yadan, who insincerely apologized to her. Su Jishi was in a bad mood and didn't want to deal with Xu Yadan. Xu Yadan tried to force an interview opportunity with Su Jishi, but she didn't give her any chance and even delayed the press conference, leaving Xu Yadan stomping her feet in anger.

During the interview, Su Jishi answered the questions coldly and avoided any overtly affectionate actions with Mu Xiulun. She even refused to hand him the microphone when it was his turn to speak. Su Jishi directly rejected Mu Xiulun's attempts to show his affection and remained distant.

Back in the garage after the interview, Xu Yadan overheard an argument between Su Jishi and Fang Jie and learned the shocking truth that Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi's relationship was a contractual agreement, not a genuine romantic one. She recorded it on her phone without them noticing.

Su Jishi was annoyed by the idea of meeting Mu Xiulun and expressed her recent reluctance to see him to Fang Jie. Mu Minguang felt that Mu Xiulun had placed a risky bet without receiving any rewards yet, but Mu Xiulun asked for more time.

Mu Minguang received a call from Xu Yadan, who revealed that Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi were in a contractual relationship, not a real couple. Su Jishi was shocked to see the video on Fang Jie's phone, realizing that her conversation with her agent had been recorded and uploaded to the internet, causing a huge uproar among the audience and fans, who felt deceived.

Journalists were waiting for Su Jishi downstairs, and she felt trapped. Upon hearing the news, Mu Xiulun's first thought was to send someone to protect her and texted her that he would handle the situation. However, Su Jishi didn't respond to his message.

Mu Xiulun received a call from his sister, Mu Xiaoman, who wanted to find Gao Ling, but he asked what it was about since Gao Ling was resting. Mu Xiaoman gave him some suggestions and hung up hastily.

At a bar, Mu Xiaoman saw Gao Ling being cozy with another woman and went to cause trouble. Su Jishi wanted Xiao Xia to wear her clothes to divert the journalists' attention.

Mu Xiulun tracked Su Jishi after hearing she had come out and got recognized by some people in the library. Su Jishi pulled him away to escape the pursuit. The invisible cold war between Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun had ended.

Mu Minguang contacted journalists to tarnish Mu Xiulun's reputation. Mu Xiaoman was frustrated that her tactics didn't work on Gao Ling and looked for solutions online.

After a busy day, Su Jishi completed the assignment her doctor gave her. When she closed her computer to leave, she found Mu Xiulun waiting outside. Mu Xiulun knew the reporters were at her home, so he hurriedly went back to protect his mother.

Su Jishi was moved by her team's efforts to protect her. She decided to take the initiative to answer the reporters' questions. When asked if she and Mu Xiulun would actually get married, Su Jishi hesitated, but Mu Xiulun appeared and answered the question, publicly kissing her. He claimed the previous contract was for participating in a variety show.

Su Jishi was angry that Mu Xiulun agreed to go on the show without discussing it with her. Fang Jie eventually compromised and agreed with Su Jishi's decision. Su Jishi left a note for Mu Xiulun to leave, and he realized that the current heat surrounding them was orchestrated by Mu Minguang, instructing Gao Ling to handle it professionally.

Su Xiaoman found out that Gao Ling was going on a date and shamelessly asked to tag along.

Mu Xiaoman boldly got into Gao Ling's car, startling him. She told him seriously that she wanted to accompany him on his date to see the person he was meeting and check their level. Gao Ling grinned mischievously and confirmed if she really wanted to go. Getting a positive response, Gao Ling drove to their destination.

Gao Ling brought Mu Xiaoman to meet his date, and she was surprised to see her brother, Mu Xiulun. Feeling nervous, she saw Gao Ling and Mu Xiulun play basketball together, evenly matched. After an intense game, Gao Ling was exhausted, and Mu Xiulun sat down, casually observing if Su Jishi messaged him.

Mu Xiaoman handed Gao Ling a bottle of "Love Water," and Mu Xiulun noticed Su Jishi still hadn't replied to his message, making him uneasy. Gao Ling finished the water and asked Mu Xiaoman to get another bottle for him. He then went to Mu Xiulun and said it had been a long time since they had such a fun game together. Gao Ling knew that Mu Xiulun was thinking about Su Jishi, but he understood that Su Jishi was having a hard time replacing her sister. Mu Xiulun could tell that Su Jishi was not responding to him because of something else. Gao Ling was about to say something when Mu Xiulun saw Su Jishi's message saying she wanted to join the "Love Variety Show," and he almost jumped with joy.

Mu Xiulun kept pacing in front of Gao Ling and Mu Xiaoman, trying to figure out what name to call Su Jishi when they meet. Mu Xiaoman suggested he smile, but when he tried, it came out awkward, making them burst into laughter. Mu Xiulun was surprised that the show's crew only arranged for him to record, so he asked why they weren't recording together with Su Jishi. Later, the two recorded the show separately, and Mu Xiulun told the crew that he was willing to cover the expenses, but on the condition that he and Su Jishi would record the next episode together.

Mu Xiaoman wrote her first love letter to Gao Ling, and he nervously took it, trying to act indifferent. Gao Ling couldn't understand why both he and Mu Xiulun had chosen geological-themed places for their dates, and the crew complained about it. Feeling someone watching them, Gao Ling pretended to have a stomach ache to get Mu Xiaoman to come out, and she left angrily.

Mu Xiulun said he only cared about Su Jishi's feelings, but Su Jishi felt that he was becoming straightforward after not seeing each other for a few days, which made it hard for her to handle. Mu Xiulun told Su Jishi that if external events led to their breakup, he would investigate the truth and hoped they could be honest and trust each other. Su Jishi was furious to hear this and accused Mu Xiulun of betraying her sister's feelings, unable to differentiate between the two of them. She then asked Mu Xiulun to set up a tent for her, recalling her sister's diary where she mentioned that her crush had set up a tent for her. Su Jishi got angry and left when she saw Mu Xiulun approaching with the tent.

Mu Xiaoman cried and said she wanted to understand Gao Ling, making him feel overwhelmed by her affection. Su Jishi felt she had been impulsive earlier. Seeing that Mu Xiulun would disappear early, she didn't think he was the person her sister had a crush on and felt relieved. Su Jishi's face changed when she heard Chen Shiyi saying she was Mu Xiulun's rumored girlfriend from university. Su Jishi nearly revealed herself but Mu Xiulun quickly found an excuse to take her away.

Su Jishi asked Fang Jie who Qin Qiu was and found out about his relationship with Su Jinqing. She felt the urge to confront Fang Jie. Mu Xiulun also learned about Qin Qiu's connection to Su Jishi from Mu Xiaoman. Mu Xiulun felt jealous when he saw Qin Qiu being attentive to Su Jishi and tried to intervene. Mu Xiulun lost the game, and Su Jishi asked him to sing. But thinking about her sister's words in the diary, he became conflicted. The next morning, Su Jishi refused Mu Xiulun's breakfast and chose to drive separately from him.

Gao Ling struggled with how to approach Mu Xiaoman's prepared lunch. Mu Xiulun competed with Su Jishi in fishing, and he lost. When he saw Su Jishi preparing to give fish to Qin Qiu, Mu Xiulun quickly intervened. Mu Xiulun was shocked to learn that he and Su Jishi were in a contractual relationship and not truly dating. Su Jishi was taking photos, and the photographer asked them to get closer. Su Jishi hesitated, and Mu Xiulun took the chance to kiss her while she wasn't paying attention.

Mu Xiulun kissed Su Jishi, and the photographer took advantage to quickly take some pictures. Su Jishi pushed Mu Xiulun away, saying it was for work, and then left without any emotion. Mu Xiulun remained there feeling a bit heartbroken. Mu Xiaoman saw Gao Ling's car nearby and approached him quietly. Seeing Gao Ling looking tired, she felt sorry for him and didn't want to disturb him. Suddenly, the weather changed, and it started pouring rain. Gao Ling saw Mu Xiaoman outside the window and hurriedly got out of the car. He draped his clothes over her and took her back to his place to shelter from the rain. Gao Ling was touched when he saw Mu Xiaoman bringing him food.

Gao Ling didn't read the love letter that Mu Xiaoman wrote for him, which made her a bit sad. Gao Ling teased her about there being no women in his home when he saw her sniffing the air inside. Mu Xiaoman mentioned that being with the boy she liked for dinner was a happy thing, and Gao Ling, standing nearby, felt choked by her words. Su Jishi lost interest in talking with Chen Shiyi when she saw her approaching Mu Xiulun. She left alone to rest. While walking, she overheard Chen Shiyi confessing to Mu Xiulun and quickly walked away. Mu Xiulun saw Su Jishi and hurried to catch up with her. He didn't understand why she was avoiding him. Su Jishi was torn between Mu Xiulun's confession and her feelings for her sister and had to make a painful decision.

Gao Ling thought about Mu Xiaoman's confession and silently watched her. Suddenly, the alarm rang, and Mu Xiaoman woke up, urging Gao Ling to take his medicine. He let her stay overnight at his place. After tucking her in, Gao Ling left a note before heading out. Mu Xiaoman was delighted.

Su Jishi was feeling uneasy and didn't want to stay with Mu Xiulun. She thought about the song he sang, and her mind was in turmoil. She used her singing voice to vent her emotions, troubling Fang Jie and the others. Fang Jie was unsure about Su Jishi's behavior. Su Jishi heard Fang Jie say that Mu Xiulun had been too aggressive and felt even more frustrated. Mu Xiulun felt disappointed when Su Jishi said their cooperation was only for making money.

Gao Ling refused to help Mu Xiulun find out about Su Jishi's whereabouts. Fang Jie woke up and found Su Jishi missing, feeling anxious. But when she heard that Su Jishi had returned home, she felt relieved. Su Jishi encountered Qin Qiu on the road, and he confessed his feelings for her. Su Jishi was a bit intoxicated, and Qin Qiu wanted to kiss her, but Mu Xiulun quickly pulled him away. Qin Qiu realized that Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun were in a contractual relationship and felt he had a chance. Mu Xiulun took Su Jishi home and accidentally found Su Jin's notebook, suspecting that her recent emotional instability was related to it. Su Jishi called out to Mu Xiulun, and they ended up staying together at night.

Mu Xiulun made breakfast for Su Jishi, and she received a call from Fang Jie, preparing to go to work. Fang Jie was curious why Mu Xiulun was at Su Jishi's place. Mu Xiulun believed that they had become a couple after what happened last night, but Su Jishi said it was just a momentary confusion under the influence of alcohol. Mu Xiulun thought Su Jishi was being irresponsible. Mu Xiaoman saw a touching story online and cried. She even contacted the author. Mu Xiaoman followed Gao Ling and saw him with another woman, making her break down in tears.

Su Jishi told Fang Jie that she didn't know how to face Mu Xiulun. Mu Xiulun saw Qin Qiu rehearsing with Su Jishi and wanted to take the lead. He held Su Jishi and prevented Qin Qiu from pulling her away. Su Jishi asked Mu Xiulun to let her go, but he shamelessly said his foot was having a problem and couldn't release her. Su Jishi was infuriated. The director saw the scene and had no choice but to give Mu Xiulun more scenes. Su Jishi felt awkward around Mu Xiulun. Mu Xiulun was jealous when he saw Su Jishi and Qin Qiu rehearsing together, thinking there might be something between them, but when he acted with Su Jishi, she said she felt nothing.

Mu Xiaoman sat there, her mind filled with Gao Ling. She felt jealous when she heard that Gao Ling had a girlfriend, but he denied it when she asked him. Gao Ling was also troubled lately. He told his colleagues that a girl ten years younger than him was pursuing him and even wrote him love letters. He thought the situation was complicated, so he rejected her advances. His colleagues couldn't understand why Gao Ling's first love had such a significant impact on him. Gao Ling felt nostalgic and knew that his first love left him because he was poor, but he also acknowledged that he had grown from that experience.

Xiao Xia felt sweet inside when she heard the director praise Su Jishi. Qin Qiu invited Su Jishi to have dinner in front of Mu Xiulun, which made him feel uneasy. However, he calmly told Qin Qiu that he and Su Jishi were only business partners, so he had no reason to interfere in her personal affairs. Qin Qiu expressed his happiness to have dinner with Su Jishi and even confessed his feelings for her. Su Jishi told Qin Qiu that she had genuine feelings for Mu Xiulun, and the reason she told him about it was because she wanted to be honest with others. Mu Xiulun felt bothered when he saw Su Jishi hugging Qin Qiu, so he quietly left. Su Jishi wanted to explain things to Mu Xiulun but hesitated, not knowing how to do it.

Fang Jie happily told Su Jishi that Su Jin's crush was not Mu Xiulun and that she might have gone to find the person she liked. Su Jishi then realized that she had been misled by her sister's diary, which made her think Su Jin had feelings for Mu Xiulun. Su Jishi calmed down and arranged to meet Mu Xiulun, but he rejected her, making her realize that he might be angry. Su Jishi knew she had said hurtful things, and it was understandable that Mu Xiulun was angry; she would be too if she were in his place. Su Jishi waited for Mu Xiulun at his company, holding a gift she had prepared for him. Mu Xiulun childishly remarked that the gift was meant for her boyfriend and not for him, so Su Jishi quickly explained that Qin Qiu was just a young brother to her. Mu Xiulun was annoyed, saying that he saw them hugging last night. Su Jishi explained that it was just a goodbye hug after they separated and didn't mean anything. Mu Xiulun sarcastically said that a hug doesn't mean anything, a night together doesn't mean anything, and he asked what exactly does mean something. They parted ways unhappily.

After Su Jishi left, Mu Xiulun opened the gift and found an apology letter inside. He regretted his actions and quickly chased after Su Jishi. Su Jishi locked him out, but he knew the password and barged in. Su Jishi panicked and hid in her room. Mu Xiulun received a call from Gao Ling, telling him that things were progressing well and they were planning to end the program tomorrow. Su Jishi woke up with Mu Xiulun on her mind. During the program recording, Mu Xiulun was very affectionate and even wiped the lipstick off Su Jishi's mouth in front of the director, creating a sweet atmosphere. Gao Ling noticed that Xiao Xia was pretending to make a call behind him. At noon, he invited her for lunch, but Xiao Xia showed him a photo of him with another girl and got angry, then walked away. Su Jishi couldn't braid the hair of a little girl, so she asked Mu Xiulun to help. While they were having fun, the orphanage director watched them.

Su Jishi felt that Mu Xiulun was acting strange that day. The director approached and directly told Mu Xiulun to leave. Mu Xiaoman was walking and cursing Gao Ling. He tried to explain that the woman was just a classmate. Seeing Mu Xiaoman's serious expression, Gao Ling decided to talk to her and confessed about his past relationship. He didn't want their relationship to become fragile. Su Jishi thought about the director's behavior towards Mu Xiulun and decided to talk to Aunt Hua to find out more. Aunt Hua told Su Jishi that Mu Xiulun came to the Mu family at the age of ten and had a heart disease, but she wouldn't reveal more details. She asked Su Jishi to talk to Mu Xiulun herself. Su Jishi found Mu Xiulun and wanted to keep him company. Mu Xiulun told Su Jishi that when he was a child, he didn't follow the rules, and because of that, Director Zhou accidentally fell down the mountain.

Mu Xiulun told Su Jishi that he had many rules and restrictions in the orphanage, but he was a person who didn't like to follow rules. He didn't like waking up on time in the morning, but Director Zhou broke that rule when he came and played games with them, like playing "Eagle Catches Chickens." Moreover, each class lasted forty minutes, but Director Zhou would finish all the content within thirty minutes and leave the last ten minutes to tell them fairy tales. Gradually, Mu Xiulun felt that sometimes not following rules could be acceptable, until one day when Director Zhou accidentally fell down the mountain while picking stones with Mu Xiulun. The lady Su Jishi saw at the orphanage today was Director Zhou's wife. At that time, she was pregnant, but because of Mu Xiulun, Director Zhou never got to see their child, and she resented him. Mu Xiulun still felt guilty about it.

Su Jishi believed that Director Zhou would not blame Mu Xiulun in his heart and didn't want him to be trapped in the shadow of the past. She advised Mu Xiulun to live well and not to disappoint Director Zhou's heartfelt intentions. Mu Xiulun found comfort in her words. Mu Xiaoman invited Gao Ling to have a meal together, but Gao Ling initially wanted to refuse and even invited colleagues to join them. Mu Xiaoman had to give up. After seeing Gao Ling and his colleagues leaving, Mu Xiaoman asked a blogger for advice on how to deal with her love experience. Su Jishi went to find Aunt Sun alone and helped her with laundry. Aunt Sun had a good impression of Su Jishi and said that the orphanage had her husband's shadow, and she was happy here. Su Jishi took the opportunity to persuade Aunt Sun to forgive Mu Xiulun, but Aunt Sun didn't want to forgive him easily and let him off so easily. Aunt Sun said she would never meet Mu Xiulun, but after hearing that Su Jishi was also troubled by this matter for many years and that Mu Xiulun was not an ungrateful person, Aunt Sun decided to meet Mu Xiulun. Su Jishi was happy to hear this.

Mu Xiulun felt angry, and Fang Jie advised Mu Xiaoman to talk to Mu Xiulun. Mu Xiulun made an appointment with Su Jishi for dinner, but when he opened the door, he saw Aunt Sun, and his expression changed. Mu Xiulun was blocked by a teddy bear as soon as he came out. The teddy bear kept pestering him and wouldn't let him leave. Mu Xiulun was a little annoyed and wanted to call the police. During their struggle for the phone, Su Jishi's disguise was exposed, and Mu Xiulun knew that Su Jishi was trying to cheer him up. He was touched by her actions. Aunt Sun learned about the things Mu Xiulun had done. She knew that her husband hadn't mistaken him and instructed Mu Xiulun to treat Su Jishi well. Mu Xiulun also knew that if it weren't for Su Jishi, he would have lived in guilt for his entire life. Su Jishi brought Mu Xiulun to her decorated place and told him her true identity. Mu Xiulun showed no surprise, and Su Jishi knew that he had already found out. When Mu Xiulun tried to kiss Su Jishi, she disappointedly asked him to watch the fireworks instead. Mu Xiulun kissed Su Jishi. Mu Xiaoman saw that the blogger replied to her message, saying that being together with someone required compromise and sacrifice. Gao Ling found Mu Xiaoman and heard that she was planning to move out of her house and live with him. He saw Mu Xiaoman crying and couldn't remain indifferent, so he took off his clothes and left for her. Mu Xiulun thought about Su Jishi making him laugh last night and felt happy. He showed off in front of Gao Ling. Mu Xiaoman caught a cold, and Gao Ling went to the pharmacy to buy medicine for her. Mu Xiulun went to see Su Jishi but overheard her talking to Fang Jie about raising fish. Mu Xiulun thought she was talking about him and became angry, so he left. Gao Ling mentioned to Su Jishi that she might not consider him her boyfriend, which made Mu Xiulun even more upset. Xiao Xia told Su Jishi that Mu Xiulun had just been there. Su Jishi immediately knew that Mu Xiulun heard her practicing lines and quickly called him to explain. Su Jishi asked Mu Xiulun to look at the billboard, where she confessed her feelings for him. He pretended to be unimpressed, but inside, he was extremely happy. Xiao Xia saw Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi being affectionate and felt even happier for them. Mu Xiulun felt that Su Jishi had gone to great lengths to pursue him.

Mu Xiulun felt that the car was going too fast, and they arrived at Su Jishi's house in no time.

Mu Xiulun felt a bit reluctant to see Su Jishi leave, but it was already 10 pm, and Su Jishi had to work tomorrow, so she had to rest early. Before leaving, she gave Mu Xiulun a kiss. Mu Xiulun couldn't help but laugh foolishly while watching the video of Su Jishi confessing to him on his phone. Gao Ling couldn't bear to see him continue watching and quickly stopped him, saying that Mu Xiulun had already watched it twenty or thirty times. However, Mu Xiulun felt that he hadn't seen enough and hadn't watched it that many times. Gao Ling saw Mu Xiulun like this and saw that he wanted him to comment on their video, so he quickly declined. Mu Xiulun even asked Gao Ling to write a one-thousand-word review for them. Seeing Gao Ling's helpless expression as he was about to leave, Mu Xiulun hurriedly called him back and asked for his help in coming up with a plan to surprise Su Jishi. Gao Ling pretended to think deeply, but suddenly Mu Xiulun closed the laptop and told Gao Ling in a teasing manner that he had never been in a relationship and didn't know how to do this. Then he walked away. Su Jishi was happy to see Mu Xiulun and hugged him, giving him a kiss. They took a walk together. Su Jishi found a beautiful stone and planned to pick one for Fang Jie and Xiao Xia as well. When Mu Xiulun wanted to give Su Jishi a necklace, he suddenly fell and even hurt his arm. But he felt it was worth it to enjoy the treatment of having Su Jishi undress him. Mu Xiulun asked Su Jishi to wait for him for ten minutes, and Su Jishi felt that Mu Xiulun had just acted sneakily, and she was curious about what he was up to. Su Jishi saw the colorful flowers behind and asked Mu Xiulun if he had prepared them. Because the surprise wasn't ready, Mu Xiulun intended to deny it, but then he heard Su Jishi saying that those flowers were very tacky and too flashy. If a girl saw them, she would be scared rather than surprised. Mu Xiulun dared not admit it anymore. Just when Mu Xiulun was trying to defend himself, a staff member suddenly approached him and informed him that the place was decorated. Mu Xiulun felt like someone was slapping his face. Gao Ling laughed until he couldn't catch his breath after hearing about Mu Xiulun's experience. Mu Xiulun felt humiliated like never before. Gao Ling analyzed it for him, and Mu Xiulun decided to follow Gao Ling's plan for the evening. However, at that moment, Mu Xiulun received a message that Su Jishi was going on a business trip. Su Jishi was delighted to see Mu Xiulun come to her and gave him a kiss. They took a walk together. Su Jishi found a beautiful stone and planned to pick one for Fang Jie and Xiao Xia as well. When Mu Xiulun wanted to give Su Jishi a necklace, he suddenly fell and even hurt his arm. But he felt it was worth it to enjoy the treatment of having Su Jishi undress him. Mu Xiaoman was in a low mood. Gao Ling felt that she was not feeling well. Su Jishi noticed someone was following her and pretended that Mu Xiulun had left. Mu Xiulun caught the person and found out it was Su Jishi's father. Su Jishi asked Mu Xiulun to leave, and her father learned that Su Jishi was standing in for Su Jin and didn't know what the two of them were up to.

Su Jishi said her father's acting skills were really bad, and he didn't want her to be with Mu Xiulun. He kept reminding her that Mu Xiulun was not a good person. Su Jishi was annoyed and asked her father why he suddenly came here and returned to the country. Her father was angry, saying that his eldest daughter didn't study and came here to impersonate her younger sister. He, as the father, could see the difference between his two daughters even though others couldn't. He cared a lot about Xiaojin (Su Xiaojin, presumably Mu Xiaoman's real identity). Su Jishi assured her father that Xiaojin was fine and asked him to worry about himself. Her father wanted to stay here, and Su Jishi had no reason to refuse, so she agreed.

Su Jishi was preparing to sleep when she heard her father freezing a bottle of wine outside, so she quickly stopped him from drinking. Su Jishi saw her father wearing Mu Xiulun's clothes and could only tolerate it. She sent a text message to Mu Xiulun and said she would tell him about her father when she had the time. In the morning, Su Jishi woke up to a smoky room and hurriedly turned off the gas. Her father was clearly not good at cooking, as he had already burnt the eggs black. He even said he noticed that his daughter had lost some weight and wanted to make her a loving breakfast. Su Jishi saw her father enjoying the meal she had cooked and felt a bit of a relaxed atmosphere between them, but it was shattered when her father asked to borrow money, making Su Jishi hate her father's gambling habit. While working, she had warned her father not to wander around and stay at home.

Fang Jie noticed that Su Jishi seemed absent-minded and then heard her ask him to have someone keep an eye on her father. He was surprised at first. Su Jishi's father came to Mu Xiulun's company claiming to be Mu Xiulun's father-in-law. Mu Xiulun's second uncle overheard and brought Su Jishi's father to his office for a chat. He pretended to be worried about Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun's relationship and even suspected that they were in a fake relationship. Su Jishi's father felt uncomfortable after hearing all this. Mu Xiulun warned him using slang. Mu Zhengmin (presumably Mu Xiulun's second uncle) promptly had the teacup his father drank from thrown away, showing disdain. Su Jishi's father pretended to be clueless about the fact that his two daughters had switched identities. Su Jishi listened to her father asking Mu Xiulun for a one-million-yuan dowry and felt angry, thinking her father was embarrassing her. But Mu Xiulun felt that he was Su Jishi's boyfriend and not an outsider, so he could show her his vulnerable side.

Su Jishi said she had never eaten a meal made by her father since childhood and was touched that her father was waiting for her. However, the atmosphere turned sour when he asked to borrow money. Su Jishi told Fang Jie never to trust the words of a gambler. Mu Xiulun rushed to the scene to stop Su Jishi at the critical moment. Su Jishi knew her father well and understood that he wouldn't give up until he got the money. It was evident that her father had not revealed the truth to the media; he must have received the money. Su Jishi was angry at Mu Xiulun's actions. Su Jishi's father returned the money to Mu Xiulun and told him that he had passed the test. Su Jishi felt that her father had always been stubborn, believing that his actions were right for everyone, but that was not the case. Su Jishi's father and Mu Xiulun sat down to drink and open up their hearts. Su Jishi also knew her family background, feeling that her broken family had brought her too much sadness. Mu Xiulun tried to make Su Jishi happy and understood her well. Su Jishi's father secretly called Mu Xiulun for advice and then broke the fossil that Su Jishi treasured, making her angry. Su Jishi's father complained about Mu Xiulun on the phone. Gao Ling heard that Mu Xiaoman was investigating something related to lupus erythematosus and was worried about her. However, Mu Xiaoman was meeting with Ningxia.

Su Jishi's mood was not very high, and she saw that Mu Xiulun was also quite indifferent. Mu Xiulun invited Su Jishi to sit down and try his new car. When Su Jishi went to open the car door, Mu Xiulun pushed out a bicycle from the side. Su Jishi sat on the back seat of Mu Xiulun's bicycle, and he rode fast, making her a bit nervous.

Su Jishi knew that her father's actions today were probably related to Mu Xiulun, and he might have been the one behind it. Mu Xiulun took the opportunity to bring out a big lollipop. Su Jishi felt that Mu Xiulun was a bit childish for bringing her a lollipop when they were both adults. When she opened it, it turned out to be a fossil that Mu Xiulun had found for her. Su Jishi was moved, feeling that Mu Xiulun was thoughtful and considerate.

Mu Xiulun knew that Su Jishi wasn't just upset about the broken fossil, but also because her father didn't understand her preferences. He advised Su Jishi to gradually approach her father. Mu Xiaoman was curious about why Gao Ling and Ningxia had separated. Ningxia said they had a good relationship eight years ago and shared common interests. However, Ningxia fell ill with lupus erythematosus and started picking on Gao Ling's faults, eventually breaking up with him because she didn't want to burden him.

Mu Xiaoman was excited and felt that Ningxia's actions were wrong and hurtful to Gao Ling. She thought it was unfair to him. Ningxia questioned if Mu Xiaoman was not afraid that Gao Ling would choose her again. Mu Xiaoman fell silent. Gao Ling confessed to Mu Xiaoman that he might have fallen in love with her and thought she had lupus erythematosus. Mu Xiaoman honestly admitted that she didn't have lupus erythematosus, but Ningxia did. She also said that Ningxia never intended to hurt Gao Ling. Gao Ling wanted to go to the hospital to see Ningxia.

Su Jishi followed Mu Xiulun's advice and cooked with her father, but his cooking skills were limited, and it wasn't very good. The atmosphere between Su Jishi and her father eased a bit. After Su Jishi finished recording the program, she found her father fighting with a photographer and got angry. She realized she had misunderstood her father and felt sad. She quickly ran after him and called him "Dad." Her father bought a train ticket to leave, and Su Jishi tried to persuade him to stay. He happily agreed to stay.

Mu Xiaoman listened to her mother's contradictory remarks about Gao Ling, feeling uncomfortable, and Su Jishi noticed that Mu Xiaoman had something on her mind. Mu Xiaoman went out to clear her mind and saw Gao Ling with a bouquet of flowers for her. He said he wasn't just saying those things on a whim and she was moved to tears. She gladly accepted to be Gao Ling's girlfriend. Mu Xiulun went to find Mu Xiaoman, but Su Jishi saw her with Gao Ling and stopped Mu Xiulun.

Su Jishi felt reluctant to say goodbye to her father, and after hearing what he said, she was touched but pretended to be tough. However, she couldn't help but shed tears as her father left. Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun officially started living together. Su Jishi was grateful for everything Mu Xiulun did for her. The two of them chatted for a while. Su Jishi received a call from her master and learned that a new batch of minerals was discovered, but they belonged to the Mu family. She was afraid that they would destroy it.

Mu Zhengmin was pressuring Mu Xiulun at the board meeting to mine the new minerals, and other board members were also pressuring him to sign an authorization agreement. Su Jishi came to deliver lunch to Mu Xiulun, and he was happy to see her. She directly told him her purpose and he understood her. Mu Xiulun learned that Mu Xiaoman was now with Gao Ling, and Mu Xiaoman was angry that Mu Xiulun had taken Gao Ling. She decided to snatch Su Jishi from him.

Su Jishi successfully completed the shooting event, and Fang Jie was very polite, thanking all the teachers and media for their care. As everyone was about to disperse, Mu Xiaoman saw Xiao Xia rushing towards her with excitement but accidentally bumped into another girl and shattered her ring. The girl claimed her ring was made of rare minerals and that normal people couldn't afford to compensate her. Mu Xiaoman offered to compensate her with minerals, but the girl thought she was just making excuses.

Su Jishi walked over with her assistant to support Mu Xiaoman and saw the girl's ring. She straightforwardly said it was made of copper minerals and was oxidized, not a rare mineral. Su Jishi confronted the girl, pointing out that if it were made of rare minerals, it wouldn't have fallen off so easily. The girl's husband arrived, and he recognized Su Jishi and her team, so he confessed that the minerals they mined in Yiliang Mountain were said to contain rare minerals, but recently, no one had been mining them.

Su Jishi asked Mu Xiaoman for the ring and had Fang Jie rent a lab for her secretly, not informing Mu Xiulun. Su Jishi successfully analyzed the raw materials of the new minerals and wanted to give them to Mu Xiulun. Mu Zhengmin wanted to see Mu Xiulun's jokes, but he didn't know that Mu Xiulun had already suspected his antics. Mu Xiulun suspected that someone had forged the appraisal report in his hand, but he lacked evidence and an opportunity to turn things around.

Mu Zhengmin saw the opportunity and taunted Mu Xiulun, but Mu Xiulun ordered his assistant to announce the restart of the Yiliang Mountain project. Su Jishi prepared the meal wholeheartedly and received flowers from Mu Xiulun, feeling happy and looking forward to Mu Xiulun's reaction to the surprise she had prepared. However, when she saw the message on her phone, she was surprised.

Gao Ling was searching online for ways to make his girlfriend happy and sent a humble apology to Mu Xiaoman on WeChat. Mu Xiaoman wanted Gao Ling to come and accompany her, but he was clueless about her intentions. Mu Xiulun returned home and saw Su Jishi waiting for him, pretending not to know anything, happily appreciating the surprise prepared by his girlfriend. However, Su Jishi pointed out that Mu Xiulun was happy because they were going to mine minerals and got angry.

Mu Xiulun saw Su Jishi's anger, and Mu Zhengmin was still causing trouble for him. Su Jishi heard that Mu Zhengmin was going to make things difficult for Mu Xiulun and decided to listen to Mu Xiulun's explanation. However, Mu Xiulun remained silent and walked away. Gao Ling was worried that Mu Xiulun might be in danger this time, and when he saw Mu Xiaoman trusting Mu Zhengmin, he couldn't bear to tell her the truth.

Su Jishi was angrily packing her things to leave. Mu Xiaoman found it strange why Su Jishi was angry with her brother. Mu Xiulun received a report from Fang Jie about what Su Jishi had prepared for him and quickly opened it. He realized that he had misunderstood Su Jishi and hurried to apologize, making up with her. Mu Zhengmin saw that Mu Xiulun was still persistent and wanted the company members to hinder him. Mu Xiaoman was happy that Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun made up.

Mu Xiaoman dressed unusually, and Gao Ling didn't recognize her. Mu Xiaoman was annoyed that Gao Ling treated her like a child. Mu Xiulun suspected that something was wrong with the minerals, but Mu Zhengmin was happy that Mu Xiulun had come to his senses. Mu Xiulun told Su Jishi that there was no problem with the minerals, but Su Jishi suspected that Mu Xiulun was hiding something from her, and they got angry at each other again. Both Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun were deeply thinking about each other. Gao Ling and Mu Xiulun planned to visit Yiliang Mountain for inspection. When Mu Xiulun learned that Su Jishi planned to go to the mining area tomorrow, he immediately hugged her and told her that the area might be under his uncle's control and didn't want her to go. However, Su Jishi was determined to go, and Fang Jie and Xiao Xia tried everything to prevent her from going to the mining area.

After discussing the plan with Gao Ling, Mu Xiulun decided to enter the mining area alone. When Xiao Xia and Fang Jie were sound asleep, Su Jishi secretly sneaked out. Both Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi rushed to Yiliang Mountain separately. Due to lack of practical experience, Mu Xiulun quickly slid down the slope. Mu Xiaoman and Gao Ling were very worried about those two stubborn individuals. Just as Mu Xiulun obtained the minerals and became excited, he accidentally fell off the cliff.

When Su Jishi saw Mu Xiulun climb back up, her nervousness subsided, and they hugged tightly for warmth during the cold night. Mu Xiaoman was anxious and wanted to call the police for help in finding them. However, Gao Ling advised against it, considering Su Jishi's public status, as it could lead to big news. While they were all anxious about what to do, Mu Xiulun called Gao Ling to inform them that he had returned. Mu Xiaoman and Gao Ling hurried to see Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi. Mu Xiaoman was overjoyed to see her brother return and couldn't hold back her tears. Mu Xiulun felt uneasy seeing his sister worried about him.

Mu Xiulun suddenly noticed his sister leaning against Gao Ling and sensed something amiss between them. Gao Ling and Mu Xiaoman proactively confessed to Mu Xiulun, who agreed to let his sister be with the assistant. Mu Xiulun told the board of directors to stop mining, but he faced opposition from many people, especially Mu Zhengmin, who openly showed disdain for him. Mu Zhengmin was furious, realizing he had miscalculated the risky move, and angrily smashed a glass in his office, startling his assistant.

Su Jishi felt a sense of happiness as she watched Mu Xiulun quietly sleeping. When Mu Xiulun woke up and saw Su Jishi staring at him, he was slightly startled. Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun cuddled together intimately. Mu Xiulun was afraid that Su Jishi might disappear after Su Jinqing returned. Xiao Xia told Fang Jie that Su Jinqing's personality had changed due to transmigration. Fang Jie was about to confess when he heard Xiao Xia's strange reason, which made him swallow back what he wanted to say.

Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun decided to confess their true identities to those around them. When Su Jishi revealed the truth, everyone fell silent, and many people were hurt by it. Mu Xiulun's mother pretended to faint, shocking Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun. In reality, Mu Xiulun's mother wanted her son to have a better life, find a girl he liked, and be genuinely happy, so she wholeheartedly supported their relationship. Mu Xiulun's mother wanted them to confess their identities quickly to avoid causing a bigger mess.

While complaining about her brother and sister-in-law deceiving her, Mu Xiaoman's words were heard by her uncle, Mu Zhengmin, who harbored some ill intentions. Mu Xiaoman forgave Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi for lying to her. Xiao Xia was also afraid that the relationship between Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun might be a business partnership with fake feelings. Su Jishi assured her that her feelings for her boyfriend were genuine.

Mu Xiaoman was angry that Su Jishi only hid her identity from her. Just as Mu Xiaoman was about to go to the movies with her boyfriend, Mu Xiulun asked Gao Ling to cancel their movie date and participate in his significant life event. Gao Ling was surprised when he learned that Mu Xiulun planned to propose to Su Jishi, thinking it was too soon. Su Jishi reserved all the wedding dresses in the bridal shop.

Su Jishi noticed that Fang Jie seemed a bit off and knew they were struggling with something, so she didn't press for details but asked for a general idea.

Su Jishi coaxed information from Xiao Xia and learned that someone was preparing a surprise for her today. Fang Jie looked at Xiao Xia with a regretful expression, and Xiao Xia felt a little remorseful for what she had just said. Su Jishi was excited about the surprise and decided to go home to see what it was. Gao Ling and Mu Xiaoman were busy decorating the venue to give Su Jishi a surprise. Mu Xiulun was extremely nervous, holding the wedding dress and imagining where to place it most appropriately. Gao Ling jokingly teased Mu Xiulun, saying he was determined to get married and saw how eager he was.

Mu Zhengmin discovered through his assistant's investigation that Su Jishi and Su Jinqing were twins and wanted to secretly expose this secret. Gao Ling noticed Mu Xiaoman's joyful expression and wanted to ask if she was looking forward to their wedding, but before he could speak, the phone interrupted them. Su Jishi returned home but didn't find the surprise they mentioned, feeling a little disappointed. After seeing off Fang Jie and the others, Su Jishi's disappointment became even more apparent. Mu Zhengmin, armed with evidence from the investigation, tried to threaten Mu Xiulun, who firmly denied everything. However, when Mu Xiulun saw that his uncle was about to reveal the secret and threatened him to quit as the company's CEO and surrender all shares to keep the secret hidden, he felt compelled to make a difficult decision. Mu Zhengmin felt triumphant, thinking he had the upper hand over his nephew and might become the new CEO of the company. Xu Yadan, with tea in her mouth, complained enviously about Su Jinqing, but Mu Zhengmin saw nothing worth envying about her.

Mu Zhengmin received a call from Gao Ling, who informed him that they had found his disclosure and threatened him with the possibility of Mu Xiulun being removed from the CEO's office and going to prison. Mu Zhengmin's face darkened immediately. Xu Yadan wanted to expose the relationship between Su Jishi and Su Jinqing but ended up angering Mu Zhengmin and facing his threats. Mu Xiulun felt that Su Jishi's appearance had given him endless strength and that he was being carried higher and higher by her. On the spot, Mu Xiulun proposed to Su Jishi, asking her to marry him. Su Jishi happily accepted, but suddenly a phone call interrupted the moment. Mu Xiulun finally learned that Su Jishi's true identity had been exposed. Fans, followers, and audiences were furious at being deceived by their beloved idol.

Su Jishi arranged a camping trip with Mu Xiulun. The real Su Jinqing had returned, and the two sisters finally met. Su Jinqing had rushed back because of some negative information she saw, and Su Jishi learned that their mother had passed away. Su Jinqing had left without telling anyone to clear her mind due to their mother's serious illness. Su Jishi felt deeply saddened by the fact that her mother was lost without her knowledge. Before leaving, Su's mother still couldn't let go of her elder daughter, Su Jishi. Su Jishi cried as she ate the instant noodles Su Jinqing had made for her, filled with the taste of their mother. Su Jishi felt that her sister had returned, and she planned to set things right.

Su Jishi faced various pressures from public opinion and took the initiative to admit that she was not the real Su Jinqing but, in fact, her twin sister. She informed everyone about her true identity. Su Jishi read the messages sent by those who cared for her and felt reluctant to leave them. When Mu Xiulun called, Su Jishi chose to ignore it. She didn't want others to bear unnecessary responsibility and guilt because of her. Su Jishi returned the ring and necklace Mu Xiulun gave her and quietly left.

Mu Xiulun searched many places but didn't find the familiar figure he was looking for. He couldn't meet the person he wanted to see. He immersed himself in work every day to distract himself and avoid getting lost in thoughts. Gao Ling and Mu Xiaoman happily entered marriage, and Mu's mother was also very happy to see her daughter getting married. She subtly hinted that her son should not give up on finding Su Jishi. Mu Xiulun understood what his mother wanted to convey.

Through continuous effort, Su Jishi was finally about to attend her doctoral ceremony. Mu Xiulun messaged Su Jishi from time to time, sharing his thoughts, feelings, and longing. Su Jishi felt a bit sad seeing those messages. Su Jishi was going to attend a lecture and found out from people around her that the speaker was surnamed Mu. She thought it might be Mu Xiulun, but it turned out to be a Chinese girl, and her anxious heart finally calmed down.

After the lecture, Su Jishi saw someone in the crowd who looked like Mu Xiulun and followed him, but it turned out to be a mistake. When she woke up, she saw a photo of herself and Mu Xiulun together at her bedside, which made her miss him. Mu Xiulun was delighted to hear that Su Jishi's project in Africa had ended. He directly exposed Mu Zhengmin's misdeeds, and all shareholders agreed to remove him. Mu Xiulun knew that Mu Zhengmin had been protecting the family because he was adopted and felt like an outsider. He didn't want to hand over the family business to an outsider.

Mu Xiulun returned to the welfare home where he had spent his childhood and saw the happy lives of the children there, feeling fulfilled and content. After taking care of everything, Mu Xiulun hurried to Africa to meet Su Jishi. During a lecture, Su Jishi suddenly saw the speaker change into Mu Xiulun. Mu Xiulun also noticed Su Jishi. They were both nervous when they met after the lecture. Su Jishi felt that the reasons no longer mattered, and now they were no longer related. She made an excuse and left.

Su Jishi felt an earthquake, and her mentor informed her about it and the damage to the museum. Su Jishi rushed to the museum to find Mu Xiulun. They finally hugged tightly, opening their hearts. In the museum, Mu Xiulun took out the engagement ring and proposed to Su Jishi. Six months later, Xiao Xia also became a successful manager. Mu Xiulun and Su Jishi got back together successfully and held an engagement ceremony, inviting their witnesses. Su Jishi agreed to start over with Mu Xiulun.
