Recap
In order to help Xu Xin's company secure an investment, Da Ying made a special call to ask Er Ying for help. Er Ying then invited both of them to her twin children's birthday party to find an opportunity. However, little did they know that Xu Xin's business proposal was a mess, and at the birthday party, he stood out in a negative way among the numerous guests. He even got into a physical altercation with another investor over Xiao Guo, almost ruining Er Ying's birthday banquet. Just as things were escalating, Da Ying arrived and happened to witness this scene, which left her even more disappointed in Xu Xin.
After helping a client resolve divorce negotiations, Xiao Ying returned to the company and found Da Ying waiting in the office, intending to have a serious discussion about their divorce. Da Ying had even prepared a "divorce plan," aiming to work hard and cash out her shares once the company successfully went public. She planned to split the proceeds with Xu Xin for a peaceful divorce. Da Ying also decided to indulge herself once and accompany Xiao Ying for a day of carefree "sassy single woman" life. However, in the middle of this, she received a call from her son, Xiao Guo. Worried that Xu Xin might be drinking and mistreating the child, Da Ying hurriedly returned home, abruptly ending her "single" experience.
Da Ying's new assistant, Qian Qian, was not satisfied with merely doing odd jobs. Da Ying informed Qian Qian about the previous salary reduction, and unexpectedly, Qian Qian went directly to Boss Xue and convinced him to only reduce the salaries of middle and upper management employees. She even hinted that the salary reduction was Da Ying's idea. Da Ying confronted Qian Qian, but Qian Qian remained unfazed. During lunchtime, Da Ying was seen by Qian Qian while dining with Er Ying and Xiao Ying near the company. Qian Qian reported Da Ying to Boss Xue, using absenteeism as the reason.
After a brief encounter, Xiao Ying and Li Aolin both returned to their respective lives. However, Li Aolin couldn't get Xiao Ying out of his mind and initiated a pursuit. Eventually, Xiao Ying agreed to meet with Li Aolin, and after sharing a kiss, they officially decided to be together.
On the other hand, Da Ying finally managed to gather enough money to buy the original shares through various means. In the evening, she invited her employees to a dinner and karaoke session, aiming to ease their feelings of disappointment over the salary reduction. Little did she know that Boss Xue would show up at the scene.
After a brief interaction, Xiao Ying and Li Aolin both returned to their respective lives. However, Li Aolin couldn't forget about Xiao Ying and launched a pursuit. Xiao Ying finally agreed to meet with Li Aolin, and after they embraced, they officially decided to be together.
On the other hand, Daying managed to gather enough money to buy shares, and in the evening, they treated their employees to a dinner and karaoke session in an attempt to ease their sadness over salary cuts. Unexpectedly, Boss Xue arrived at the scene.
Xiao Ying's interaction with Li Aolin gradually took a positive turn. However, Li Aolin wasn't cut out to be an idol, and dancing was something he wasn't skilled at. Xiao Ying initially worried about the vast difference between the idol lifestyle and her own circle, but Li Aolin didn't mind.
Er Ying had been preparing to open his own art gallery. He wasn't satisfied with many of the candidates during interviews until he met Ying Chong again. He turned out to be the most suitable candidate for gallery management.
When Er Ying returned to the entrepreneur's annual meeting venue, he was stopped by the staff at the door. This was because the guest list did not have the name "Ai Ying" but only the cold words "with spouse." Er Ying felt even more despondent in his heart. After the annual meeting ended, he went alone to the art gallery. On the other side, Qianqian prepared a marketing budget of twenty million yuan. Daying and Sister Pang confronted Qianqian about it, and an argument ensued, leading to a physical altercation between Sister Pang and Qianqian. Daying, emotionally exhausted, went to find Boss Xue, only to be informed by Chairman Gao that Boss Xue had already fled.
In order to completely drive Daying away, Qianqian deliberately staged a scene where Daying was accused of bribery, aiming to tarnish his reputation. Fortunately, Daying discovered this in time. However, Chairman Gao still used this as a reason to dismiss Daying and informed her that if she was fired, she would also have to return her original shares. This caught Daying off guard.
On the other hand, Xu Xin initially invested in Dayong's quantum wellness capsule project to share Daying's concerns. Little did he know, despite all precautions, he was still deceived by Dayong. The one million yuan he invested went down the drain.
Er Ying used the excuse of taking a family portrait for the company's listing to call Jiang Nan to Xie's home. As soon as Jiang Nan entered, she told her mother-in-law that Lao Xie had a new love interest. She also warned Er Ying that Lao Xie's recent fascination with shiny things must mean he's involved with someone outside. However, Er Ying didn't seem to take it seriously, while Jiang Nan insisted on her words. She even had paparazzi secretly following Lao Xie, trying to capture evidence of his infidelity. Eventually, Jiang Nan disguised herself as a hotel attendant and, after much effort, located Lao Xie's room. However, when she entered, she found that Lao Xie was already bald. He was actually discussing a hair transplant plan with a doctor. Lao Xie was furious.
After learning from Du Yang that Daying's negotiation with Chairman Gao had failed, Xu Xin decided to help secretly. He approached his friend, Sister Hong, and had her pretend to be a client, calling Qianqian and arranging a meeting at Sister Hong's restaurant. Then, Xu Xin disguised himself as a menacing figure and scared Qianqian, falsely claiming that Li Yingnan owed him money and had used it to buy shares. He pretended that he needed the money back and had to ask Qianqian for it.
However, Qianqian saw through Xu Xin's deception and took the opportunity to call Chairman Gao for help. Chairman Gao suspected that Li Yingnan might be involved behind the scenes.

Life is a collection of odds and ends
Although the plot was scattered and clichéd, it captured the daily life of women in their 30s. Wealthy wives in high society seem stable but not easy, single women face the bitterness of work, and the unhappiness of marriage, making them feel even more unbearable.
The helplessness of surviving in a private enterprise and the hardships of life forced her to be as resilient as an unkillable cockroach. But whose life isn't filled with heartaches? I used to think that the one I love is separated by mountains and oceans, but in reality, there are paths through the mountains and boats across the sea. Mountains and seas can all be overcome; the real challenge lies within the human heart.
