The beautiful screenwriter Tang Xin of Time Shadows has secretly admired her handsome and wealthy boss Tang Yu for over four years. In order to win Tang Yu's favor, she has racked her brains and even used unconventional means. Upon learning that Tang Yu has developed feelings for her best friend, she deliberately uses herself as bait to help him pursue her friend. Tang Xin forms an alliance with Tang Yu, all with the aim of creating more opportunities to be with him. She plans to take advantage of her friend's rejection of Tang Yu, causing him emotional distress and presenting an opportunity for her to step in.

However, Tang Xin's idealistic plan takes an unexpected turn. Tang Yu turns out to be more resilient than she imagined, and she fails to seize this hard-earned chance. Tang Yu skillfully resolves a problem related to the relocation of a film and television base, showcasing his exceptional strategic thinking and leadership. Assistant Gao Heng offers some complimentary words, but Tang Yu criticizes him, advising him not to use such insincere flattery in the future. Gao Heng promptly adjusts his attitude.

Time Shadows is currently filming two movies, and one of them is caught in a legal battle due to allegations of copyright infringement. Tang Yu immediately demands a halt to the project, regardless of the previous investment. This is a matter of principle, and although Time Shadows is also a victim, Tang Yu is determined to take responsibility.

Tang Yu, a eligible bachelor, becomes a focal point of discussion among employees, especially with regards to his personal life. Rising star Zhou Jialu in the film industry intentionally creates rumors about a romantic relationship with Tang Yu to boost her own popularity. Tang Xin accurately identifies the issue and advises Tang Yu to have Zhou Jialu issue a statement to avoid any embarrassing situations. While in an elevator, Tang Xin provocatively sniffs around Tang Yu to check for the scent of another woman, making Tang Yu feel uneasy.

In an underground parking garage, Tang Xin falsely claims that her car is undergoing maintenance, and she dismisses Gao Heng. Tang Yu then assigns her the task of driving, surprising Tang Xin who intended to sit in the co-driver's seat but is treated as the chauffeur instead. Tang Yu, noticing Tang Xin's unfamiliarity with the car, leans in to help adjust her seat. The masculine aura emanating from Tang Yu leaves Tang Xin with a fluttering heart. As she drives, Tang Xin notices Gao Heng watching her and quickly changes direction to avoid being seen by Tang Yu, narrowly avoiding a car accident. She refocuses on her role as the driver.

Back at home, Tang Yu's younger sister Tang Dingding informs him that their parents are arguing because he is about to turn thirty and still hasn't found a girlfriend. They suspect his sexual orientation is the issue. Tang Yu convinces his mother by diverting the conversation to company stock matters, urging her not to always bring up his personal life. Meanwhile, Tang Xin is concerned that Gao Heng might reveal her lies to Tang Yu, so she bribes him with breakfast the next morning. However, Tang Yu misunderstands her intentions, thinking Tang Xin is pursuing Gao Heng, including their alliance.

The copyright for Tang Xin's novel, "Dreaming for You," purchased by Time Shadows four years ago, is about to expire. As discussions about renewal and adapting it into a film arise, Tang Xin faces skepticism. Despite the novel's well-written content, it falls into the fantasy romance genre, which is not Tang Yu's preference. Chief editor Chen believes the chances of renewal are slim, but Tang Xin still wants to fight for it, as it is her hard work and she doesn't want it to be buried.

To get closer to Tang Yu, Tang Xin invests in a gym membership and deliberately posts workout photos on her social media. This captures Tang Yu's attention, and they engage in rare interaction. Shortly after, Tang Yu surprises Tang Xin by appearing behind her. Taking advantage of a break, Tang Xin discusses her novel with him, proposing a condition: if she can write a satisfactory script, she wants Tang Yu to be the producer. Her motive is simply to create more opportunities to be with him.

Despite Tang Xin's repeated pleas for Tang Yu to agree to her condition—allowing him to be the producer if she writes a good script—Tang Yu finds this request somewhat strange. He promises to find the best producer for Tang Xin, but she insists on him, mentioning that the movie he produced last year earned over three billion yuan. She believes this is an opportunity for fame, but Tang Yu still does not agree.

Disappointed, Tang Xin reluctantly confides in her best friend. Witnessing Tang Xin's four years of unrequited love, her friend advises her not to fixate on one person and even suggests downplaying Tang Yu to make it easier for Tang Xin to give up. However, Tang Xin is deeply infatuated with Tang Yu and is unwilling to easily turn away. As her friend has to visit a clothing factory to inspect new products, she leaves Tang Xin in charge of the store, promising a generous bonus if she succeeds in sales. Tang Xin shifts her focus to selling merchandise.

Tang Dingding, introduced to the clothing store by Tang Xin's friend, becomes a customer. Tang Xin, upon seeing potential customers, energetically welcomes them. With her eloquence and praise, Tang Dingding falls into the trap. Combined with the well-designed clothes from Tang Xin's friend, Tang Dingding admires every piece and ends up buying them all. During the checkout, Tang Xin explains that the last dress is a bit expensive as it is custom-made for a model and is a unique design. Tang Dingding hesitates but eventually tearfully pays with her credit card.

Upon her friend's return, Tang Xin receives praise for successfully selling out the inventory. Her friend suggests she consider a career in sales, promising the potential for a million-yuan annual salary. Despite the advice and a substantial bonus, Tang Xin's thoughts are still consumed by Tang Yu. On the other side, Huo Chendong, the deputy general manager of Sunshine Film, walks through a bar while Tang Yu sits alone, drinking. Huo Chendong inquires about Tang Yu's situation with Ming Zhu, thinking he is troubled by a romantic relationship. He advises Tang Yu to interact with more women to avoid criticism from his mother.

Indeed, Tang Yu's mother is deeply concerned about her son. When she hears about Ming Zhu from Huo Chendong, she urges Tang Dingding to obtain Ming Zhu's photos. Due to a network issue, Huo Chendong accidentally sends the pictures in the wrong order. Tang Dingding mistakes Tang Xin for Ming Zhu, realizing later that it is the person who sold her the clothes. Running out of pocket money, Tang Dingding playfully asks her brother for money, revealing the misunderstanding.

Tang Xin is troubled by the adaptation of her novel and seeks help from her friend Ming Zhu. Ming Zhu contacts the renowned screenwriter Feng Cheng for Tang Xin. Feng Cheng provides constructive advice during their conversation. Coincidentally, they encounter the famous director Lu Zhixing. Hearing that Tang Xin is the author of the novel "Dreaming for You," Lu Zhixing expresses great enthusiasm, and they exchange contact information, looking forward to future cooperation.

Tang Xin hangs newly printed photos of Tang Yu on the wall. This wall is filled with pictures of Tang Yu, revealing the depth of her affection. However, Tang Yu remains oblivious. During the planning presentation by the scriptwriters, Tang Yu rejects each proposal. When it's Tang Xin's turn to present "Dreaming for You," Tang Yu immediately rejects it. Tang Xin persuades him for just five more minutes, requesting paper and pen to express herself more thoroughly. However, Tang Yu mocks her, stating that she can't even draw her boyfriend's portrait well, let alone express herself in this way.

Indeed, Tang Xin's drawing skills may not be impressive, but the relationships between the characters are clear. Tang Yu agrees to consider it seriously. Tang Xin sees a glimmer of hope, and her mood immediately brightens.

After work, Tang Yu asked Gao Heng about his relationship with Tang Xin in the elevator. Gao Heng, being sensible, quickly denied having any romantic involvement with Tang Xin. Just as he was about to explain the breakfast incident, Tang Xin entered the elevator. Tang Xin wanted to ride in Tang Yu's car again and lied that her car was sent for maintenance. Tang Yu found this reason unreliable, and Gao Heng came to the rescue, stating that last time Tang Xin lied, and her car was actually parked downstairs. Although Tang Xin was genuinely telling the truth this time, Tang Yu was annoyed, and Tang Xin stared at him angrily.

Knowing Tang Xin's intentions, Tang Yu decided to let her ride in his car, allowing her to experience the feeling of being in the boss's car. Tang Xin was greatly satisfied, sitting there with uncontrollable joy. When Tang Yu asked why she was so happy, Tang Xin had to come up with an excuse to deflect the question.

During the journey, Tang Yu noticed Tang Xin's strong business skills and suggested that she share and promote her experience at the company. However, Tang Xin considered this her exclusive secret and believed sharing it would make it less effective. She also inquired about the adaptation of her novel. Although Tang Yu thought her novel was good, the current challenges faced by the studio required a more mature project in terms of content, audience, and production, which could progress quickly. Unfortunately, her novel with many fantasy elements would take longer to produce, requiring more skills and experience in adaptation. These words, though in Tang Yu's mind, were like a bucket of cold water, leaving Tang Xin feeling disheartened.

Back at home, Tang Xin started thinking about how to improve her adaptation skills and capabilities. Working on the set seemed like a shortcut, so she immediately called Chief Editor Chen, volunteering to work on the set since none of the other writers wanted to take on the challenging task. Chief Editor Chen readily agreed.

Upon returning home, Tang Yu discovered a box on his parking spot, inside of which was a small cat. A note requested him to take care of the cat. Tang Yu didn't particularly like such small animals, but seeing the pitiful look of the cat, he brought it home. Tang Xin, upon seeing her brother's schedule, pleaded with him to take her along on his business trip to Malaysia. When she heard the cat meowing, she immediately asked Tang Yu if she could adopt it.

Tang Xin followed Chief Editor Chen to the set of "White Dew as Frost" and started tirelessly working. When Tang Yu visited the set, he found Tang Xin, exhausted, asleep. He kindly covered her with his jacket. When Tang Xin woke up and saw that Tang Yu had visited, she felt extremely satisfied, sensing his warmth on the jacket. Huo Chendong noticed Tang Yu's changes and felt that his attitude toward "Little Tangxin" Tang Xin had become different. Tang Yu accused him of speaking nonsense but harbored different feelings inside.

Lu Zhixing invited Tang Xin for a meeting, expressing interest in adapting her novel. The more positive Lu Zhixing was, the sadder Tang Xin felt, thinking about how good it would be if the person in front of her were Tang Yu. Tang Dingding wanted to pick up the cat but was called by Huo Chendong to play games, resulting in the cat making a mess in Tang Yu's house. While cleaning up, Tang Yu was scratched by the cat. Tang Yu knew Tang Xin had experience raising cats, so he called her for help. Tang Xin immediately left her meeting with Lu Zhixing, came over, took care of the situation, and then took Tang Yu and the cat for vaccinations and a check-up.

Tang Yu was a bit queasy with needles, and Tang Xin intentionally used photography to distract him, which touched Tang Yu. When Tang Xin asked for the cat, Tang Yu readily gave it to her. However, when Tang Dingding came to claim the cat, she found that Tang Xin had taken it. Tang Xin, hearing about Tang Yu's special instructions for renewing the contract of some novels, especially hers, realized that Tang Yu might have developed feelings for her. Not wanting to miss this opportunity, she decided to confess to Tang Yu after dressing up.

When Tang Xin arrived at Tang Yu's office, she heard that he was in a meeting and decided to wait for him. Shortly after, Tang Yu and Gao Heng returned. Tang Yu noticed Tang Xin, who was wearing a red dress and looked quite striking. He speculated on the reason she sought him out. Using her novel as an excuse, Tang Xin asked Tang Yu why he changed his mind about renewing the contract for "To Dream for You." She inquired if it was because of the novel or because of her. Tang Yu remained non-committal, saying it was the same for him in either case. Tang Xin misunderstood his intentions.

Seeing Tang Xin's hesitant demeanor, Tang Yu decided to break the silence and asked if she liked him. This unexpected question surprised Tang Xin, but she quickly composed herself and admitted that she liked him. However, she didn't reveal that she had liked him for over four years, only mentioning that it was a recent development. When asked why she liked him, Tang Xin mentioned that he was good-looking, wealthy, and not a playboy. This answer didn't satisfy Tang Yu, and after thinking for a while, he expressed his refusal, stating that a relationship between them wouldn't work. This response shocked and devastated Tang Xin.

Tang Xin, initially filled with joy, now felt like she had been doused with cold water. She timidly stepped back, and Tang Yu, seeing her expression, felt a twinge of pain. Her tears only added to Tang Yu's discomfort. Disappointed, Tang Xin left Tang Yu's office. Four years of secret admiration and waiting, she had thought that their encounter would lead to a beautiful beginning, heading towards a lifelong commitment. Unexpectedly, before a proper start, it came to an abrupt end. Her distress and sadness were palpable. As she left, she accidentally bumped into Gao Heng, who was coming to deliver documents.

Feeling that leaving in such a way was too embarrassing, Tang Xin, under Gao Heng's puzzled gaze, returned to Tang Yu's office. Without giving Tang Yu a chance to explain, Tang Xin confronted him, accusing him of giving her false hope. She questioned why, out of all the employees in the company, he always sought her out when he had problems. She felt foolish for playing along for so long and called him a scoundrel. Tang Yu and Gao Heng were left bewildered by her words. After lecturing Tang Yu, Tang Xin turned her attention to Gao Heng, then, without further ado, returned to the office. She forcefully kissed Tang Yu, taking him by surprise.

After Tang Xin left gracefully, Tang Yu was left in a gloomy state. Worried that Tang Xin might take it badly, he instructed Gao Heng to keep today's events to himself and immediately call Tang Xin. Tang Xin understood the significance of Gao Heng's call, assuring Tang Yu that she wouldn't take it too hard and that she had already tasted Tang Seng's flesh, so it was just an ordinary experience.

Back at home, Tang Xin cried with her face covered, feeling a mixture of reluctance and helplessness. She tore down the photos of Tang Yu from the wall but couldn't bring herself to throw them away. At this moment, her mother called for a video chat, showing her pictures of a few young men and urging her to consider marriage. Seeing her daughter's swollen and red eyes, the mother suspected she had been crying and questioned her. Tang Xin explained it away as being emotionally involved in a storyline. Although her parents sensed she was lying, they didn't press further, advising her to take care of herself. Meanwhile, Tang Yu spent a sleepless night, regretting his outright rejection and hurting Tang Xin.

Tang Yu went to Malaysia for the opening ceremony of Sunshine Film City. After the banquet, Huo Chendong casually mentioned the situation between him and Tang Xin. Tang Yu, experienced in the ways of the world, analyzed the situation thoroughly, feeling some shame for his attitude towards Tang Xin. He pointed out the key issue: Tang Xin liked Tang Yu as a person, not for his money or looks. After returning to China, Tang Xin's presence kept flashing before Tang Yu's eyes. He intentionally arranged to visit the film set, coinciding with Tang Xin discussing the plot with the director. Tang Xin reminded herself not to be timid and began criticizing Tang Yu through the storyline, leaving him embarrassed and without a chance to defend himself.

Although Tang Xin vented her frustration, she couldn't find joy in it. At this moment, Tang Dingding and her friend came to the store again. Tang Xin prepared to confront Tang Dingding once more, but when Tang Dingding saw the exorbitant bill, she began complaining to Tang Yu. Tang Dingding believed that Tang Xin was intentionally retaliating against her, directly attributing the issue to Tang Yu. Tang Yu, aware that Tang Xin was not Ming Zhu, let his sister handle Tang Xin's extortion since he owed her.

Tang Dingding did not hide anything and directly revealed her identity to Tang Xin. This surprised Tang Xin a bit, as if the knife was cut a bit deep. Her best friend hurriedly came over to break the tension, and even gave Tang Dingding many gifts to avoid making the atmosphere too awkward. After sending Tang Dingding away, Tang Xin realized that Tang Yu must know her identity but willingly accepted being taken advantage of. It indicated that he felt indebted to her, but she didn't like that feeling.

Lu Zhixing invited Tang Xin to discuss the signing of the novel's copyright. After careful consideration, Tang Xin decided to sell the copyright to Lu Zhixing. Excited, Lu Zhixing repeatedly confirmed with Tang Xin to ensure it was true. They then talked about Tang Yu; Lu Zhixing and Tang Yu were college classmates, and Lu Zhixing nicknamed Tang Yu "Sweet and Sour Fish" because he really liked eating sour food. When Lu Zhixing mentioned that Tang Yu could cook Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish, Tang Xin suddenly remembered the scene when she saw Tang Yu cooking, realizing he was quite skilled.

Tang Dingding disguised herself to meet Huo Chendong. There was some mutual affection between them, but neither of them expressed it openly. Tang Yu knew Huo Chendong's character well and was worried he might not treat his sister well. After learning that Huo Chendong went out to eat with Tang Dingding, Tang Yu took the opportunity during boxing practice to give Huo Chendong a good scolding in the ring.

Colleagues in the scriptwriting department discussed eagerly. They heard that Tang Yu was going to renew the contract for "Dreaming for You" and volunteered to be the chief scriptwriter. They had no idea that Tang Xin was the author of the novel. After Manager Du made it clear, everyone came over to congratulate Tang Xin. Tang Xin stated that she had decided not to renew with Time anymore and had found a boss to make a movie for her. She didn't want to trouble Mr. Tang anymore. After Gao Heng conveyed these words to Tang Yu, he became very angry.

Tang Xin posted on Weibo that she had decided to let Mr. Lu shoot "Dreaming for You." Tang Xin's fans immediately started searching for a boss surnamed Lu in the film and television industry. Tang Yu asked about the registration for the adaptation of "Starting Point" in a meeting. Seeing Tang Xin not raising her hand, he pointed the finger at her. Tang Xin responded calmly, and Tang Yu couldn't get angry. After the meeting, Tang Yu called Tang Xin to his office, inquiring about her reasons for not signing. He mentioned that if she signed, it would be adapted into a movie. However, Tang Xin had lost patience, stating that she had been signed for four years without a movie being made. Tang Yu looked down on her as a person, and by extension, he wouldn't appreciate her work.

Tang Yu explained that he didn't look down on Tang Xin. "Inappropriate" and "looking down on" are different. He had considered using "Starting Point" to solve the company's problems, but now that it was signed and in production, he considered renewing and adapting "Dreaming for You." But Tang Xin had made up her mind, and any explanation at this point was meaningless. She wanted to sign with whoever she wanted.

Tang Yu asked Gao Heng to find out who Tang Xin sold the copyright to. Gao Heng heard that she sold it to a boss surnamed Lu. While everyone speculated about Mr. Lu's identity, Lu Zhixing stepped forward and admitted it officially. He invited Tang Xin to discuss the details of the contract, hoping she would raise the signing fee, as this novel was once a bestseller. However, Tang Xin didn't care about the money; as long as the fee was the same as Time Entertainment offered, she cared more about bringing the novel to the big screen.

Her father called in a video, worried about his daughter's marriage. He went to the matchmaking corner in the park to find a quality man. Tang Xin reassured him not to worry about her affairs; she couldn't escape what was meant for her. On the other hand, Tang Yu, feeling depressed in his office, recalled every moment spent with Tang Xin. He couldn't help but feel anxious and irritated when employees outside talked about Tang Xin. He walked out with a dark expression on his face.

Tang Yu walked out with a dark face, coincidentally meeting Gao Heng. He asked Gao Heng about the two awkward relationships between men and women. One of Gao Heng's answers happened to touch Tang Yu's sore spot – it involved a best friend and the best friend's husband. It led to the deduction of Gao Heng's overtime pay, which seemed justified.

In the evening, Tang Yu started missing Tang Xin. From an unknown point, longing for Tang Xin became a habit for him. However, his messages to Tang Xin went unanswered. Tang Xin decided to toughen up; since Tang Yu rejected her, she couldn't keep pestering him. Besides work-related communication, she didn't want to engage with Tang Yu. Frustrated by Tang Xin's cold treatment, Tang Yu took it out on the unfortunate Gao Heng the next day, criticizing him. Afterward, Gao Heng pleaded with Tang Yu to spare him, or he would end up working for the company for free for ten years.

Chief Editor Chen praised Tang Xin for her excellent work after joining the team. The directing team praised her multiple times. Tang Xin mentioned that she had learned a lot working with the team. Chief Editor Chen asked her to prepare to lead the team alone. At least, in the next project, she would have the title of co-screenwriter. Tang Xin expressed gratitude but stated her desire to film "Dreaming for You." Chief Editor Chen didn't know she was the author of the novel. Tang Xin's wish seemed challenging since she heard the author of "Dreaming for You" wasn't planning to renew the contract.

Tang Yu brought Tang Xin to ask why she left the project team. Tang Xin claimed she had completed her tasks in the team and left after confirming with the director. It was a normal occurrence. Furthermore, she planned to resign and leave Time, which Tang Yu couldn't accept. Huo Chendong called Tang Yu, reminding him of the alumni meeting. Before Lu Zhixing arrived, Tang Yu was still the focus of attention. Once Lu Zhixing arrived, he seized the central position. Tang Yu didn't mind, but Tang Xin's resignation felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat. The two inevitably engaged in a verbal dispute.

Lu Zhixing sent Tang Xin a sample contract, and seeing the clause about joining the team, Tang Xin was excited. This would give her a chance to fulfill her wish of bringing the novel to the big screen. In the elevator, Tang Xin met Tang Yu and Huo Chendong. Seeing the two not speaking, Huo Chendong took on the role of peacemaker, inviting Tang Xin to dinner. Tang Xin said she came to the company to get something and would leave soon. Huo Chendong, lacking a better topic, jokingly remarked that she couldn't escape once she said she would run. Tang Xin calmly replied that people aim for higher places, nearly leaving Tang Yu, who remained silent, speechless.

In the underground parking lot, Tang Yu stopped Tang Xin, promising to give her the opportunity to be a screenwriter. He even offered to be the producer personally. The condition was that Tang Xin couldn't leave Time. Tang Xin had a surreal feeling. Was Tang Yu softening towards her, and for what reason – appreciation or affection? She couldn't determine at the moment. She told Tang Yu that doing business and creating works were different. She still intended to entrust the drama to someone who liked her work, as Tang Yu hadn't even read her novel. Huo Chendong suggested Tang Yu take a more assertive approach, stating that if the project was approved immediately, they could keep the rights to "Dreaming for You." However, Tang Yu expressed he didn't want Tang Xin to be embarrassed.

After returning home, Tang Yu took out the novel Tang Xin gave him. On the title page, it read, "In the remaining years, I, with fresh clothes and an angry horse, accompany you to watch the blazing sun and blooming flowers." This declaration was very obvious. Tang Yu regretted his slow response, especially when he reached the last page, and Tang Xin wrote, "Tang Yu, welcome to my world."

Tang Dingding became a fan of Tang Xin, buying a thousand copies of her book for a fan giveaway. Tang Xin thanked her for the gesture. Tang Xin decided to resign and brought her resignation letter to Tang Yu. Tang Yu accused her of being irresponsible, claiming she liked him and changed her mind in a few days. Tang Xin said liking him was a momentary thing, and half a month was enough time to forget. Tang Yu held Tang Xin's hand, preventing her from leaving, but he couldn't find a clear reason. In the end, he could only let Tang Xin go, and he lost his spirit like a deflated balloon.

Tang Yu was in a bad mood due to Tang Xin's departure, and even the cleaning aunt felt afraid. Huo Chendong understood Tang Yu's pain and quickly came over to comfort him. He also mentioned the box office of "Tomorrow's Son," trying to divert Tang Yu's attention with work-related matters. This trick worked, and Tang Yu adjusted his mood to focus on work.

Tang Dingding sent books to Tang Xin's fans who won the lottery. She personally wrote addresses, considering it a ritual. Tang Yu asked her why she gave the publishing house fifty thousand yuan, and upon learning it was to support Tang Xin, he silently walked away. At the family banquet, Tang's mother urged Tang Yu to find a girlfriend soon. Tang Yu had to use his sister's relationship with Huo Chendong to dodge the topic, accusing her of not being able to date Huo Chendong. Both Tang's father and Tang's mother supported Tang Yu on this matter, making Tang Dingding annoyed. She then hinted that Tang Yu already had someone he liked, and Tang's mother had seen her photo.

Tang Dingding brought ten books for Tang Xin's signature and, upon seeing Tang Yu's message saying he also wanted one, told Tang Xin to write whatever for him. Huo Chendong noticed Tang Yu's bad mood and tried various ways to stimulate him. Tang Yu took him out for a drink, and Huo Chendong sensitively realized that Tang Yu had developed feelings for Tang Xin and was troubled by it. So, Huo Chendong encouraged Tang Yu to take bold action.

After returning home, Tang Yu was still somewhat absent-minded. Gao Heng called to inquire about the contract signing tomorrow, but Tang Yu didn't pay attention. Inspired by seeing Tang Xin post a red envelope received from her best friend on Moments, Tang Yu decided to use red envelopes to win Tang Xin's joy. However, he sent six red envelopes, and Tang Xin refused to accept any of them.

Tang Dingding brought the signed books for Tang Xin to her brother. Tang Yu saw a pig's head drawn on the title page, so he called Tang Xin to ask why she drew a pig's head. Tang Xin was doing yoga and, irritated by the interruptions, told Tang Yu he was sick. Tang Yu asked her to scold him all at once, comparing her to a hedgehog that needed to prick someone before they could get close. Tang Xin retorted that she had already resigned, and if he wanted someone to prick, he could find an active employee.

Feeling depressed, Tang Yu called Huo Chendong in the middle of the night, and Huo Chendong thought something had happened. Eventually, he realized that Tang Yu wanted to seek advice from him. Huo Chendong told Tang Yu that he thought Tang Yu and Tang Xin were a perfect match, but Tang Yu didn't think so. Unable to find a reason, he could only say he thought Tang Xin was very special. Huo Chendong shared his experience of pursuing girls with Tang Yu, which was to cater to their preferences. Tang Yu remembered that Tang Xin had once made a PPT to help him pursue Ming Zhu. Tang Yu immediately found it, hoping to find a suitable way to pursue Tang Xin. He fantasized about treating Tang Xin extremely well, but the thought of that submissive demeanor made him uncomfortable.

Tang Xin woke up to find the comments section of her Weibo exploding. It turned out that Tang Yu had forwarded Tang Xin's Weibo about adapting the novel into a movie. People speculated that Tang Yu wanted to reclaim the copyright. Lu Zhixing also became uneasy after seeing it and hurriedly called Tang Xin to confirm. Tang Xin assured him that such fickle behavior was not her style. Shortly afterward, Tang Xin went to Lu Zhixing's studio, where the employees warmly welcomed her. Feng Cheng asked her some questions about adapting the original work, and Tang Xin quickly got into the details.

Gao Heng reported the recent market research data for Lu Zhixing's studio to Tang Yu. Because Tang Yu intended to invest in Lu Zhixing's studio, he was worried that Tang Xin's film might face funding issues. Lu Zhixing planned to invite Tang Xin and Feng Cheng for dinner. However, news came from the hospital that the scriptwriter Lao Wan had been diagnosed with stomach cancer, shocking everyone.

Tang Xin is deeply concerned about the future of "Dreaming for You" due to Lao Wan's illness. Her best friend and Tang Dingding console her. You Huan sensibly notices Tang Dingding's low spirits and speculates it's related to the rumored relationship between Huo Chendong and a model. Just then, Huo Chendong arrives with his new girlfriend to shop for clothes. Tang Dingding takes the initiative to assist, and You Huan's clothes are indeed high-end in style and quality. Huo Chendong's girlfriend likes them a lot, but when it's time to pay, she finds the prices quite high. Despite her persuasion, Huo Chendong, not wanting to lose face, reluctantly buys them in front of Tang Dingding and Tang Xin.

Outside, the girlfriend observes Tang Dingding's strange behavior and feels that her relationship with Huo Chendong is unusual. Huo Chendong explains that she is his good friend's sister, and they've been close since childhood. However, the girlfriend implies that Huo Chendong treats Tang Dingding like a sister, but she may not see him as a brother. Tang Dingding takes advantage of the situation, extracting more money from Huo Chendong. She advises Tang Xin to return to Time Film, but Tang Xin insists on handing her work to someone who understands it, and Lu Zhixing is the best choice. She reveals her plan to buy a house near Lu Zhixing's studio, and Tang Xin takes note, promising to help her find property listings.

Tang Yu deliberately brings Tang Xin in, revealing that he knows about Lao Wan's illness. He advises her to bring "Dreaming for You" back, ensuring the investment's security. Faced with this changed Tang Yu, Tang Xin is momentarily stunned, wondering if he is sincere or not. Tang Yu expresses his genuine interest in the novel, the first one he read from start to finish. When he suggests discussing specific chapters, Gao Heng interrupts at an inopportune time. Sensing the timing, Tang Xin politely excuses herself, saying she will arrange a private screening for Time Film colleagues after completing the movie. Tang Yu can only watch her leave.

Lu Zhixing calls Tang Xin and appoints her and Feng Cheng as the main scriptwriters for the drama. Tang Xin is excited and promises to give her best as it's her first film and television work. Lu Zhixing then mentions Time Film's interest in investing, and Tang Xin, though a bit confused, manages to separate personal feelings from company interests. She tells Lu Zhixing not to consider her feelings and to proceed with the negotiation if the conditions are suitable for cooperation.

After Tang Xin leaves Time Film, Tang Yu becomes restless and decides to invest in Lu Zhixing's studio. Tang Xin is puzzled by his behavior, accusing him of not filming for four years but suddenly wanting to invest. Tang Yu offers generous terms to Lu Zhixing, but he hesitates. Feng Cheng suspects that Tang Yu has developed feelings for Tang Xin, but Lu Zhixing denies it, stating that he noticed Tang Xin's reluctance. He doesn't want to make things difficult for her, considering that the film doesn't lack funding.

Back home, Tang Yu, thinking about Tang Xin's coldness and Lu Zhixing's concern for her, becomes agitated. He wonders if he is feeling jealous, and right then, Tang Dingding appears, asking him whose jealousy he's eating. Tang Dingding, having had some drinks, becomes the target of Tang Yu's frustration. He advises her to stop unrealistic thoughts and insists that she reports to Time Film the next day. Tang Dingding agrees, and she reveals Tang Xin's plan to buy a house, prompting Tang Yu to start plotting.

The next day, Tang Xin finds a house that she is very satisfied with. Expecting the price to be within her acceptable range, she is surprised when the real estate agent says it is even lower than her expectation. Tang Xin quickly agrees and completes the property transaction. Since the house is ready to move in, Tang Xin quickly relocates. Tang Yu voluntarily comes to help organize, but Tang Xin doesn't offer him a friendly face, not even a sip of water. Tang Yu takes the initiative to get water and drinks from Tang Xin's glass. When Tang Xin realizes this and tries to stop him, Tang Yu accidentally falls onto the couch, and their positions become somewhat ambiguous, leaving Tang Xin dazed.

Facing Tang Xin's shyness, Tang Yu brings up the incident where Tang Xin forcefully kissed him for at least three minutes. However, she remains concerned even when he takes a sip of water. Tang Xin had strained her wrist while moving, so Tang Yu attentively applies an ice pack for her. Tang Xin's mind starts to wander again, discussing whether the forced kiss lasted for three minutes, neglecting the significance of discussing the incident itself.

Tang Dingding takes on odd jobs at Time Film, feeling a bit overwhelmed by everyone's demands. After work, she notices her brother's car parked there and discovers that Tang Yu has bought a house next to Tang Xin.

Tang Yu bought a house next to Tang Xin's home, and this coincidence raised questions for Tang Xin. Tang Yu had to reveal the truth. Upon hearing that Tang Xin wanted to buy a house, he called his cousin involved in real estate business, requesting two adjacent houses. The cousin, aware of Tang Yu's interest in pursuing a girl, readily agreed. Tang Xin, understanding the situation, hurriedly visited Tang Yu's home. She was convinced that her brother had fallen for Tang Xin, given his decision to give up a villa and become her neighbor. Tang Xin recognized the rarity and high price of such housing, further revealing Tang Yu's intentions.

Tang Xin found it strange but didn't dwell on the matter. Instead, she focused on preparing a meal for her friends. You Huan exposed Tang Xin's secret—some dishes were ordered, but the soup was cooked by Tang Xin. Xiao Xiao informed Tang Xin that Tang Dingding had started working at Time Magazine, resembling Tang Xin's past. Tang Dingding overheard her name and inquired about Tang Xin's frequent visits to her brother's office. Xiao Xiao was shocked to learn Tang Dingding's status as a young lady.

After some drinks, Tang Dingding, having had too much, planned to stay at her brother's house. However, Tang Yu had her sent back. Later, he knocked on Tang Xin's door to have a serious talk. Tang Xin didn't respond, prompting him to call her, asking if he had mistreated her and expressing concern about their strained relationship. Tang Xin remained silent and hung up the phone. They ended up chatting outside her door.

 Tang Xin shared that her father, nicknamed "Bandit," used to handle all her problems. As she grew older, she adopted a bold attitude and earned the nickname "Little Tyrant." Her father appreciated the title, ensuring that nobody dared to bully her. Tang Yu seemed to find an answer and gently wished Tang Xin goodnight before returning home.

The next morning, Tang Yu busied himself preparing breakfast for Tang Xin. He struggled to make perfectly shaped fried eggs and carefully crafted hamburgers. The surplus breakfast was shared with Gao Heng. Tang Yu, peering through the door mirror, noticed Tang Xin hadn't come out. He stealthily approached her door to eavesdrop. Upon hearing some activity inside, he hastily returned home, pretending to casually leave.

In the elevator, Tang Yu forcefully gave the heart-shaped breakfast to Tang Xin, expressing his intention to pursue her. Tang Xin, feeling complicated, stated that if he didn't provoke her, she would soon adjust. However, if he did, she wouldn't be someone who easily let things go. She left the elevator without looking back.

 Tang Xin visited Lu Zhixing's studio, where he informed her that Zhou Jialu's schedule was full. They had to choose from new talents at the film school. Meanwhile, Gao Heng reported to Tang Yu that Zhou Jialu's agent requested to terminate the contract, citing the need for an adjustment. Considering Tang Xin's situation, Tang Yu decided to release Zhou Jialu. The agent conveyed this good news to Zhou Jialu, who hesitated, fearing a negative impression on Tang Yu. The agent reassured her and advised against aspiring to become Mrs. Tang, as Tang Yu remained indifferent to their rumored relationship.

Tang Xin attended a party hosted by Tang Dingding's friend Shen Fei and ended up getting heavily drunk. You Huan called Tang Yu and Huo Chendong to help take Tang Xin and Tang Dingding home. Tang Yu arranged for his sister to be taken home, while he personally assisted Tang Xin. In her intoxicated state, Tang Xin mistook Tang Yu for someone in her dream. Tang Yu affectionately covered her with a blanket. The next morning, Tang Xin woke up from her hangover, hearing Tang Yu knocking on her bedroom door.

The sound of knocking on Tang Yu's door startled Tang Xin. She didn't expect Tang Yu to be in her room. As she recalled the events of last night, she felt a bit embarrassed. She walked out and asked Tang Yu if he had peeked at her home's password. Tang Yu, having prepared breakfast and drinking coffee, was waiting for her with a leisurely demeanor, clearly treating this place as his own. Tang Xin scolded him a bit, but considering that Tang Yu kindly escorted her home, she didn't want to be too harsh.

Tang Yu, having some business to attend to, informed Tang Xin that she should reconsider going back in time and assured her of his support in achieving her wishes. He also suggested changing the door lock password, stating that using her birthday was not secure. Tang Xin frowned, and Tang Yu told her that even his own home's door lock used her birthday.

Lu Zhixing came to the studio and went directly to Feng Cheng. Feng Cheng praised Tang Xin's abilities, considering Lu Zhixing lucky to have found such a talent. Lu Zhixing explained that he valued Tang Xin's unpolished abilities, free from constraints, unlike others like Feng Cheng. Lu Zhixing happily invited Feng Cheng to watch a movie, knowing that Tang Xin would be there too. Although Feng Cheng agreed initially, he later backed out, leaving Lu Zhixing disappointed. The incident was captured and recorded by Ding Ding's friend Shen Fei.

Tang Yu felt uneasy when he didn't receive any news from Tang Xin for a day. He took the initiative to talk to her but received a photo from Ding Ding instead. Seeing Lu Zhixing and Tang Xin behaving intimately in the picture increased the pressure on Tang Yu. The next morning, Ding Ding asked her brother about the company's artist management, concerned about encouraging Huo Chendong's wayward nature. She insisted on going to the film academy to find potential actors.

Tang Xin arrived at Lu Zhixing's studio, where he, along with her and Feng Cheng, planned to select actors from the film academy. During this, Ding Ding's agent called, stating that Ding Ding had a schedule and inquired about the role of the female lead. Lu Zhixing expressed his dislike for actors who breach contracts, a sentiment shared by Tang Xin. On the way to the film academy, Ding Ding sent a message trying to help Tang Yu pursue Tang Xin, listing five advantages of Tang Yu and hoping Tang Xin would become her sister-in-law.

The process of selecting actors with Lu Zhixing and others was not smooth. None of the candidates met their expectations. The last one was somewhat acceptable, but Lu Zhixing rejected them. Disappointed, the three of them walked out, and Lu Zhixing was unexpectedly attracted to a beautiful and clean-looking girl. Tang Xin hurriedly followed, only to discover that the girl was Ding Ding. Lu Zhixing intended to invite Ding Ding to play the female lead, and Tang Xin agreed, though Ding Ding, being inexperienced, hesitated.

After confirming that Ding Ding fit the female lead role, Tang Xin began her persuasion journey. With Lu Zhixing's cooperation, Ding Ding quickly surrendered. After returning home, she started working for Tang Yu. Tang Yu, unable to do anything about it, allowed her to try. Perhaps facing difficulties would change her mind.

Seeing Tang Yu worried about pursuing Tang Xin, Gao Heng offered a plan. Tang Yu pretended to disdain the idea, but later, after drinking three glasses of Western wine at home, he knocked on Tang Xin's door, claiming this place was also his home. Tang Xin wanted him to leave, but Tang Yu insisted that this was his home too. As Tang Xin tried to push him out, Tang Yu's waist hit the doorknob, giving him another reason to stay. Tang Xin helped Tang Yu sit down, wondering why he, who usually had good alcohol tolerance, was in such a state. Finally, she assisted Tang Yu to the sofa, almost falling herself in the process.

Tang Yu pretended to have a stomachache, and Tang Xin had no choice but to help him massage it. Tang Yu naturally held onto Tang Xin's hand and refused to let go. After Tang Xin managed to break free, suspecting that Tang Yu was pretending, she tried to help him back to his room. However, Tang Yu ended up falling asleep on the sofa. Tang Xin reluctantly accepted the situation but couldn't help noticing Tang Yu's handsome face. She mumbled that such a good-looking man drinking too much outside could be dangerous. She covered Tang Yu with a blanket, turned off the lights, and went to sleep in her bedroom.

Early the next morning, Tang Yu woke up to see Tang Xin smiling at him. She calmly exposed his entire nighttime water-drinking routine. Tang Yu was puzzled, and Tang Xin pointed to the camera in the corner, revealing its betrayal. Tang Xin pushed Tang Yu out just as Ding Ding arrived, mistakenly thinking something had happened between them. Tang Xin had to pull Ding Ding inside and explain that nothing had occurred. She then showed Ding Ding a script she had written three years ago, planning to adapt it into a film after finishing the novel, allowing Ding Ding to understand the psychological dynamics of the female lead.

Gao Heng received a bonus early in the morning, a reward for Tang Yu's clever plan. The plan proved successful, at least easing the tension between him and Tang Xin. Ding Ding added Tang Yu, Tang Xin, Lu Zhixing, and Feng Cheng to a group and officially announced her participation as the female lead in "Dreaming for You." Everyone was delighted upon learning this. Lu Zhixing and Feng Cheng, upon discovering that Tang Xin had written a script three years ago, immediately asked her to share it with everyone. Meanwhile, Tang Yu, the first to obtain the script from his sister, read it overnight and found it well-written.

The next morning, Tang Yu and Tang Xin coincidentally met at the door again. Tang Yu handed breakfast to Tang Xin, asking her to try a new flavor. After an awkward elevator ride, where neither pressed the button initially, they both reached for it at the same time. Tang Yu asked Tang Xin what she had altered at the back of the script. Realizing that Tang Yu had read her script, Tang Xin accepted his suggestion to blend the old and new content. Tang Yu encouraged her to be confident, reminding her that she used to be a little tyrant.

Everyone became busy preparing for the official filming of the drama. However, Ding Ding brought some bad news; a blogger claimed that Tang Xin's novel was suspected of plagiarizing "Three Lives Three Worlds." Initially unconcerned, Tang Xin believed it was just a way for the blogger to gain attention. However, the controversy escalated, jeopardizing the film's production and investment.

The board of directors at Yangguang Film Company engaged in a heated discussion regarding the investment. The conservative faction aimed for stability, while the radical faction led by Tang Yu considered the audience and future prospects. Unable to reach a consensus, news of the alleged plagiarism emerged, prompting Tang Yu to temporarily suspend the board vote until the matter was clarified.

Tang Xin's revised novel was taken down due to the controversy, and with colleagues gossiping, she felt extremely upset. Fortunately, Ding Ding arrived in time, taking her to a comforting dinner arranged by Tang Yu. Tang Yu's thoughtfulness improved Tang Xin's mood. After investigating, Gao Heng discovered that Da Jiang Film Company was behind the sabotage. The next day, Tang Yu confronted Zhu Jiang directly, but Zhu Jiang refused to back down. Tang Yu started contemplating how to break the deadlock. When he returned home, his father's words enlightened him, and he thought of a solution.

The following day, Tang Yu convened another board meeting, disregarding opposition. He had Gao Heng draft a statement on behalf of the Yangguang Film Company board. If there were losses in investing in "Dreaming for You," Tang Yu would personally bear the responsibility.

Tang Xin was troubled by the plagiarism allegations against her novel, causing her to lose focus on the adaptation. Lu Zhixing decided to give her an extended leave to relax. Tang Xin took this opportunity to visit her parents, who were thrilled to hear about her return. Her mother inquired about her recent heartbreak, but her father was more concerned about her emotional well-being. Back home, Tang Yu sent her a message, advising her to rest and assuring her that he would handle the remaining matters. Tang Xin felt warm seeing his message.

Her father called Tang Xin into the room, showing her the reading notes he had written. For her father, who hadn't read many books, this effort was precious. Tang Xin was moved to tears. She knew her parents had seen her Weibo posts and were worried for her but didn't know how to express it, so she used this method to encourage her.

Early the next day, Ding Ding called Tang Xin, informing her about Tang Yu's bold statement at the shareholders' meeting. Tang Xin, worried about the potential consequences for Tang Yu, hurriedly returned to talk to him, advising him not to be impulsive. Tang Yu explained that this decision was based on his judgment as a filmmaker and producer. He believed the film would bring attention to the company, not just for personal gain.

Tang Xin, feeling disappointed, expressed her concerns about the potential financial loss and its consequences. Tang Yu reassured her, asking her to trust in her abilities and his judgment. If she was afraid, he suggested she go back and focus on writing the script while leaving the rest to him.

Ding Ding and Huo Chendong went out to eat. Ding Ding discovered that Tang Yu, on behalf of Time Film Company, had reported all the marketing accounts that defamed Tang Xin. It seemed that her brother was determined to stand firm this time. Analyzing the current situation together, Tang Yu urged everyone to speed up the progress, gaining an advantage in the competition with Da Jiang. Tang Xin mentioned that her core inspiration came from a dream, believing others wouldn't easily collide with her ideas. Tang Yu agreed with her but pointed out that "Three Lives Three Worlds" was published before "Dreaming for You." He speculated that the author might be someone close to Tang Xin.

After Tang Yu's investigation, it was revealed that the author of "Three Lives Three Worlds" was Sun Jieping, Tang Xin's classmate. Tang Xin concluded that Sun Jieping must have found her manuscript. With this bold idea in mind, Tang Yu fully supported her. Later, Tang Xin posted on Weibo, stating that she had found the manuscript and would organize it within three days, proving her creation preceded "Three Lives Three Worlds." Tang Yu had Huo Chendong inform Zhu Jiang of this information, making him realize that Tang Yu and Tang Xin had set a trap for him.

Zhu Jiang found Sun Jieping, who insisted that Tang Xin didn't have the original manuscript. However, Zhu Jiang couldn't fully trust her and asked her to reveal the manuscript to prove herself. This played into Tang Xin's strategy because the manuscript was the one she had lost years ago.

Tang Xin decided to meet Sun Jieping. Despite Sun Jieping's denial, Tang Xin presented the evidence – a signature designed by You Huan. The signature was found on the manuscript, and realizing the situation was clear, Sun Jieping pleaded with Tang Xin not to involve her in a lawsuit. Tang Xin, feeling compassionate, convinced Tang Yu not to sue Sun Jieping. She didn't want the matter to become a big issue, overshadowing the novel itself. Sun Jieping issued a public apology on Weibo, Da Jiang terminated its contract with "Three Lives Three Worlds," and the incident came to a close. Everyone refocused on the creation of the film.

Tang Yu found various excuses to spend more time at Tang Xin's home, even showing concern for a little cat that he had never cared about before. It was clear he had ulterior motives. Tang Xin saw through it but chose not to expose him, allowing Tang Yu to continue. Tang Yu wanted to see the script that Tang Xin was working on, but she stopped him. Tang Yu argued that he had invested money and deserved to see it, but Tang Xin insisted that it wasn't good enough. Tang Yu compared each work to a child of the author and encouraged Tang Xin to have confidence. He believed in her abilities and stated that this work was not only Tang Xin's child but also his, expressing confidence in her. Tang Xin felt something was off and accused him of taking advantage of her.

Tang Dingding, worried about her acting skills, asked Huo Chendong for help in finding a teacher. Huo Chendong was skeptical and suggested a permanent solution: leaving the entertainment industry. Tang Dingding didn't like this idea, and her family opposed her decision to become an actress. Despite their persuasion, Tang Dingding was determined to pursue acting, even if it meant facing challenges.

In addition to her busy schedule, Tang Dingding didn't forget to support her brother. She informed Tang Yu that the upcoming theme for their sister group's birthday party was princess style. To match Tang Xin's outfit, Tang Yu gathered information and found the dress Tang Xin wanted to wear at her home. However, when he picked up Tang Xin, he was surprised to find she wasn't wearing that dress. It turned out the dress was a gift from You Huan, but luckily, Tang Yu's dress still complemented Tang Xin's outfit.

Tang Yu and Tang Xin attended Dingding's birthday banquet in style, attracting attention from everyone. Dingding was surprised by their extravagance and thought they might be trying to outdo the Smiths. Tang Mom introduced a potential match for her son at the party, but Tang Yu revealed he already had a girl he liked and pointed to Tang Xin. Tang Mom wanted to greet them, but Tang Yu stopped her. Despite that, both parents were satisfied with Tang Xin's appearance.

Dingding warned Tang Xin that the girl introduced by Mom for her brother was also present. Tang Xin pretended to be indifferent but was actually conflicted. Tang Yu took the initiative to help Tang Xin with food and discouraged her from drinking. Dingding teased them, but Tang Mom took her away. After Dingding's birthday, Tang Yu continued to spend time at Tang Xin's home, chatting casually. Tang Xin allowed him to help her with the script, and Tang Yu mentioned having an important business trip the next day, using it as an excuse to stay longer. Tang Xin was touched by his gentleness.

The next day, Tang Xin's parents video-called and mentioned that Aunt Lin's son's company had moved to Nangang. They intended to matchmake Tang Xin with him. Despite Tang Xin's reluctance, her parents had already booked their tickets. Tang Xin reluctantly brought her parents home, worried about the unwanted trouble. Tang Dad was determined to train his daughter in love, and Tang Xin feared her past breakup story had given her parents a negative impression of Tang Yu. She asked him not to stay next door temporarily, but Tang Yu insisted on visiting.

The TV media reported on the rumored relationship between Tang Yu and Lu Chuning. Tang Xin's parents, seeing this, intensified their dislike for Tang Yu. When Tang Yu returned from his business trip, he saw Tang Xin's parents returning with groceries. Tang Xin, afraid they would ask about her past breakup, hurriedly took them inside, depriving both sides of a chance to speak.

Gao Heng came to see Tang Yu and, in the elevator, saw Tang Xin, learning that she was going to meet a potential match. He quickly informed Tang Yu of this news.

Tang Yu childishly used Lin Zhengxu's name to express his dissatisfaction, but Tang Xin caught him in the act. Tang Yu pretended to discard the card, and as Tang Xin reached for it, she accidentally touched his bitten wound. Feeling sorry for her, Tang Yu strangely found a hint of satisfaction. Lu Zhixing brought takeout, ordering only three portions without knowing Tang Yu would be there. Tang Yu, claiming it was fine, took a meal, not treating himself as an outsider. Seeing this, Tang Xin, feigning lack of appetite, gave her meal to Lu Zhixing and Feng Cheng.

In reality, everyone misunderstood Tang Yu. He merely helped Tang Xin choose peppercorns and cilantro and then handed the meal to her. He even shared Tang Xin's eating preferences, leaving Lu Zhixing and Feng Cheng bewildered. Tang Xin and Tang Yu exchanged a few words, and Feng Cheng casually mentioned the rumors about Tang Yu and Lu Chuning. Only then did Tang Yu learn that the rumors were spreading widely. Back at the company, Tang Yu confronted Gao Heng, questioning why the rumors weren't resolved promptly. Gao Heng explained, and Huo Chendong advised that some appropriate scandals could benefit the promotion of the new film. After scolding Gao Heng, Tang Yu immediately instructed him to resolve the matter, emphasizing that he didn't want Tang Xin to misunderstand.

Tang Xin visited You Huan's store, where a customer tried to secretly take pictures. You Huan intervened, and Tang Xin spoke up for her friend. The customer reluctantly bought an item, and You Huan expressed the helplessness of a small designer. Tang Yu reported to Lu Zhixing's studio almost every day, earning disdainful looks from Tang Xin. Tang Yu boldly claimed that since he had decided to pursue her, he needed to show some determination. He also volunteered to take care of the plants and flowers that Tang Xin didn't have time for.

Tang Yu clarified the rumors to Tang Xin, who believed he was overthinking, as she didn't care about such things. Turning away, Tang Xin met Lin Zhengxu, leaving Tang Yu fuming. Not wanting to give Lin Zhengxu any misunderstandings, Tang Xin revealed she already liked someone—Tang Yu. Disappointed, Lin Zhengxu realized he was rejected before the relationship even began. After dinner, Lin Zhengxu accompanied Tang Xin home, and Tang Yu, asserting his presence as her boyfriend, proudly displayed his bitten wound.

Before entering, Tang Xin expressed her confusion. She had liked Tang Yu before, but his current behavior made her feel insecure. Tang Yu earnestly confessed, asking Tang Xin to be herself and letting him take the initiative in the future. This confession moved Tang Xin. Tang Yu requested to increase the time they spent together each day, and Tang Xin agreed to add one minute. Tang Yu thought it was too short but better than nothing. As he left, Tang Yu teased Tang Xin, saying that the extra minute she worked so hard to add probably wouldn't even be enough for a kiss, infuriating Tang Xin once again.

The woman who took unauthorized photos, accompanied by two troublemakers, came to You Huan's store to cause trouble. They insisted that You Huan refund the clothes, but she refused. The troublemakers started vandalizing the store. Tang Xin sensed something was wrong and rushed to the shop. However, she couldn't handle the two strong men. Tang Xin was pushed down, and the store was wrecked. Tang Xin struggled to stand up and intervene, only to be knocked down again. Her hand was cut by broken glass, and one of the troublemakers raised his hand to slap her. Suddenly, a hand appeared, blocking the attack—it was Tang Yu.

Tang Yu displayed impressive skills, swiftly dealing with the troublemakers and avenging Tang Xin. His handsome appearance made Tang Xin's heart flutter. She cried in his arms, and Tang Yu, exuding boyfriend vibes, carried her to the hospital, leaving Gao Heng to call the police and handle the situation.

Tang Yu was extremely worried about Tang Xin, even for a minor injury, she had to be hospitalized for observation. This incident significantly eased the tension between the two. Huo Chendong also visited Tang Xin and coincidentally offered a ride to You Huan. During the car ride, they discussed the issue of unauthorized photos. Huo Chendong suggested that she establish her own studio and create her brand to prevent such incidents from happening again, sparking contemplation in You Huan.

Tang Xin's injury wasn't serious. Tang Yu took her to visit an elderly couple, where the wife had terminal cancer with just over a month to live. Tang Yu had volunteered for an end-of-life care workshop three years ago, helping the elderly couple fulfill their wish of taking wedding photos. This experience deepened Tang Xin's understanding of Tang Yu. During their conversation, Tang Yu asked Tang Xin about her views on life and death. Tang Xin expressed a changed attitude toward separation. Previously, she believed that known partings should be accompanied by heart-wrenching tears. However, now it was different; separation was like a hurricane—calmer as it approached the center. She emphasized the importance of cherishing the time spent together.

"Making a Dream for You" was officially finalized. Feng Cheng suggested celebrating with a meal, and Tang Yu offered to treat, but Tang Xin insisted on paying. They raised their glasses for a celebration, and Tang Xin and Dingding chatted on the side. Gao Heng approached Tang Yu, commenting on Tang Xin's good mood. Tang Yu agreed and asked him what that had to do with him. Huo Chendong also joined in, asking why Tang Yu hadn't won Tang Xin over yet. Tang Yu dismissed him, stating he had a proper view of love, unlike Huo Chendong, who was a playboy.

Dingding felt upset hearing everyone talk about Huo Chendong. She insisted on having a private talk with Tang Xin, occupying the time set for Tang Yu and Tang Xin to meet. Tang Xin shared her confession, mentioning the forceful kiss, surprising Dingding. Tang Xin believed that kissing meant she had won, even if they weren't together. Dingding found this method feasible and decided to try a forceful kiss on Huo Chendong. However, at the last moment, she backed down, realizing she didn't like Huo Chendong as deeply as Tang Xin liked Tang Yu.

The meeting for the creators of "Making a Dream for You" took place. Dingding, after makeup, stunned Lu Zhixing, leaving him momentarily mesmerized. During the Q&A session with journalists, the focus shifted to the inexperienced Dingding, with accusations that she was a condition added by Tang Yu for investing in the film. Dingding hesitated, and Lu Zhixing forcefully responded, asserting that he chose Dingding as the lead regardless of any investment relations. Tang Yu surprised everyone by introducing Lu Chuning as a supporting character in the film. Tang Yu explained that Lu Chuning was the prototype of the female lead in Tang Xin's novel. Tang Xin then understood the real reason behind the rumors of Tang Yu and Lu Chuning.

Influenced by Huo Chendong, You Huan decided to apply for the position of film stylist. Her design concepts and understanding of the film impressed Lu Zhixing and Feng Cheng, securing her the role of stylist naturally. The three friends celebrated together. You Huan and Tang Xin deliberately avoided discussing the rumors about Huo Chendong. Dingding shared her true feelings, admitting she didn't love Huo Chendong that much; she just felt a bit unwilling.

Dingding earnestly read the script, consulting Lu Zhixing about any parts she didn't understand. Lu Zhixing took the initiative to rehearse lines with her. He asked Dingding to perform a confession scene, and after she gathered her emotions, Dingding confessed her feelings to Lu Zhixing. He felt the sincerity in her words. Meanwhile, Tang Yu and Huo Chendong went on a business trip. Huo Chendong provocatively sent Tang Yu pictures of his meeting with a beautiful woman. Tang Xin felt upset, but soon after, Tang Yu promptly reported his schedule and asked if Tang Xin could pick him up the next day.

Lu Zhixing coached Tang Dingding on acting, asking her to say "I love you" as if she were speaking to a lover. Tang Dingding, who had never been in a relationship, struggled to get into the mood. After a while without success, Lu Zhixing changed the strategy, asking her to say "I like you." Tang Dingding finally felt something and sincerely expressed her liking for Lu Zhixing. Lu Zhixing thought her expression was excellent, deeming her a qualified actress. Tang Dingding was relieved not to worry about being expelled from the cast anymore. She happily treated Lu Zhixing to a meal, teasing him as a single old man. Lu Zhixing believed that being single was the most carefree.

Though reluctant, Tang Xin went to the airport to pick up Tang Yu. On the way back, she complained about Tang Yu insisting on her picking him up despite Gao Heng being at the airport. Tang Yu explained that Gao Heng was there to pick up Huo Chendong, and she was there for him. Tang Yu didn't even enter his own home, heading straight to Tang Xin's place. Sensing Tang Xin's irritation, he tried to console her after realizing she was upset due to the photos sent by Huo Chendong. However, Tang Xin remained unmoved.

Tang Yu wanted to explain things to Tang Xin, but she was in a hurry to get him out. Tang Yu noticed Tang Xin's phone on the couch and handed it to her. He caught a glimpse of the username on her Weibo alternate account. Later, Tang Yu checked and entered Tang Xin's Weibo alternate account to read about every experience and emotional journey since the first time she saw him. The overflowing affection expressed in the words deeply moved Tang Yu.

In the middle of the night, Tang Xin found it strange that Tang Yu hadn't left yet. Tang Yu asked about the first time they met, and Tang Xin mentioned helping him pursue Ming Zhu during their time at the studio. However, Tang Xin shook her head, recalling that it was four years ago at the Time Film Industry Hall. Tang Xin had blocked their way, smiling slightly at him. Tang Xin was somewhat surprised that Tang Yu remembered so clearly. Tang Yu apologized to Tang Xin, having just read her Weibo alternate account and regretting questioning her feelings. He shouldn't have hastily rejected her confession.

Feeling Tang Yu's love, Tang Xin turned around, tears welling up, admitting that she just liked Tang Yu too much. She couldn't be sure of Tang Yu's sincerity, so she had been testing him. Tang Yu hugged Tang Xin from behind, swearing to cherish her and the relationship between them.

Tang Yu called Huo Chendong into the office, praising his clever strategy of fighting with a retreat, which had achieved certain results. Huo Chendong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Xin's mother called, asking about Tang Xin's birthday celebration this year. Tang Xin suggested a simple gathering with a few close friends, but her mother insisted on making it grand and even planned to fly over for the celebration. Tang Xin, busy with the film, discouraged her mother from coming and promised to host a proper birthday party. Only then did her mother feel reassured.

Tang Xin sent invitations to several close friends, specially sending one to Tang Yu with high expectations. On her birthday, friends brought gifts, and everyone enjoyed the party with laughter. However, Tang Yu was nowhere to be seen, and though Tang Xin seemed calm on the surface, she was anxious, constantly checking her phone, waiting for Tang Yu to arrive. Finally, unable to sit still, Tang Xin went out to take out the trash and received a birthday red envelope from Tang Yu. However, what Tang Xin eagerly anticipated was Tang Yu's physical presence.

The elevator doors opened, and Tang Yu and Huo Chendong rushed back from the film festival, but they only had an hour. In the car, Tang Yu prepared a cake and candles. Tang Xin made a wish, bringing their relationship even closer. The next day, Tang Dingding called Tang Yu to ask if he had confessed to Tang Xin. Upon hearing that he hadn't taken action, she scolded him harshly. Tang Yu was concerned about the right time for confession, so he sought advice from Huo Chendong. Huo Chendong suggested he act immediately; it wasn't too late to confess now.

Huo Chendong proposed specific suggestions for Tang Yu to confess to Tang Xin on their anniversary. However, Tang Xin's birthday had already passed, and he couldn't think of any other meaningful date. Huo Chendong, aware of Tang Xin forcefully kissing Tang Yu, suggested using the 200th day anniversary of that incident for the confession. This infuriated Tang Yu, who promptly pushed him out.

Uncertain about whom to consult, Tang Yu sought help from his father. His father admitted his limited experience but suggested, like Huo Chendong, using the 200th day anniversary. Tang Mother, concerned about her son's happiness, offered advice from a woman's perspective, emphasizing sincerity and romance. She recommended confessing in a romantic place where only the two of them would be present. Tang Yu, after hearing this, began searching for a suitable location.

Tang Yu found a place near Xiamen called "Lover's Bay," said to be the best place for lovers. He decided to choose this location for his confession. During location discussions, Lu Zhixing insisted on shooting abroad in Icestone Ville to authentically reproduce the novel's content. However, Tang Yu disagreed due to film schedules and natural weather conditions, opting for Xiamen as a better alternative. The two held firm in their opinions, leading to a deadlock.

Surprisingly, the decision-making power fell into Tang Xin's hands. Facing such a significant matter, Tang Xin found it difficult to decide. Neither Tang Yu nor Lu Zhixing was willing to compromise. Tang Xin ended up acting as a messenger, shuttling between them. Exhausted, she eventually gave up.

Tang Dingding and Tang Xin invited Lu Zhixing and Tang Yu to a dinner to resolve the matter. Despite their efforts, the two men persisted in their positions and brought up past school incidents to accuse each other. Tang Dingding and Tang Xin's attempts at persuasion were futile. Frustrated, Tang Yu and Lu Zhixing prepared to leave. Tang Yu showed pictures of the Xiamen scenery, suggesting it as an alternative to Icestone Ville. Lu Zhixing finally decided to compromise.

Before departure, Tang Yu reminded Tang Xin to bring warm clothes as the coastal weather could change. When Tang Xin didn't respond, he knocked on her door. Tang Xin claimed she needed to sleep and asked him to leave, leaving Tang Yu disappointed. While packing, Tang Xin found her luggage difficult to close and wanted Tang Yu's help, but he had already left. Unbeknownst to her, Tang Yu had been secretly watching her, indicating his feelings for Tang Xin.

The crew traveled to Xiamen, and the tension between Tang Yu and Lu Zhixing persisted. Tang Xin, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire, chose to sit in the passenger seat, avoiding being in the middle of the two. The first location for shooting was volcanic rock. While on-site, Lu Zhixing reminded everyone to prioritize safety. He instructed the photographer, Liu Yang, to take more pictures, while Tang Yu and Tang Xin took photos by the seaside. Suddenly, Tang Yu noticed Liu Yang missing and hurriedly searched for him. He found Liu Yang's hat floating in the sea and, without hesitation, jumped in.

After a long time without seeing Tang Yu, Tang Xin became anxious and called for help. Gao Heng rushed over upon hearing her cries, while Lu Zhixing instructed someone to call for emergency aid. Concerned about Tang Yu's safety, Gao Heng, who had recently been injured, decided to dive in to find him. Meanwhile, Tang Yu dragged Liu Yang to the shore from another side. Tang Xin rushed over, hugging Tang Yu tightly and refusing to let go. Others discreetly took Liu Yang away for medical attention. Tang Xin confessed to Tang Yu, expressing her desire to be with him and never part again. Surprised, Tang Yu accepted Tang Xin's confession, promising to hold a grand ceremony for her.

Tang Yu, exhausted from saving someone, coincidentally received care from Tang Xin. He flipped over to kiss her, playfully expressing regret for not knowing that being in a relationship with him would be so clingy. Tang Xin scolded him, stating that if she had known about his affectionate nature, she would have reconsidered. Tang Yu replied, saying it was already nighttime, and proceeded to kiss her again. Lu Zhixing wanted to check on Tang Yu and, setting aside his pride, went to knock on Tang Yu's door. Unfortunately, he interrupted the passionate moment between the two. Tang Yu, annoyed, rolled his eyes at him, but Tang Xin mediated, making the atmosphere more pleasant.

The crew took a day off, and Tang Yu had leisure time to spend with Tang Xin. As a couple, they enjoyed their time together, playing, taking photos, being silly, kissing, and feeding each other, relishing in the sweet moments. Tang Yu and Tang Xin rode a tandem bike around, with Tang Xin doing various antics on the back seat. She was thrilled, having long anticipated such a scene, and finally, her dream came true. Tang Xin mentioned that she never thought such a day would come, where she could snuggle in his arms. She coquettishly asked Tang Yu to confess his feelings again, and he genuinely expressed his love. Tang Xin happily accepted, and Tang Yu promised her a grand ceremony.

Tang Dingding reported to the crew, and her parents, worried, were relieved to see Huo Chendong accompanying her. "Dreaming for You" officially started filming in Xiamen. Lu Zhixing gave a brief speech, and reporters focused their attention on Lu Zhixing and Tang Yu. Nervous, Tang Dingding asked Tang Xin about her relationship with Huo Chendong to divert attention. Tang Dingding expressed her feelings for Huo Chendong, stating she was reluctant and didn't love him despite being together since childhood.

Tang Dingding's worries turned into reality during the first day of shooting. Lu Zhixing continuously called for retakes, filming the same scene 48 times. It seemed being an actor wasn't as easy as Tang Dingding thought, turning this into her self-mocking moment. Tang Xin comforted the tearful Tang Dingding. Tang Yu scolded his sister upon learning about the situation. This led to a brief argument between Tang Yu and Tang Xin. Seeing Tang Xin upset because of their argument, Tang Dingding felt guilty. With Tang Xin's comfort and support, Tang Dingding's mood gradually improved, and she quickly adapted. The second day of filming went smoothly, and Tang Dingding gained recognition from both Lu Zhixing and Tang Yu.

The male lead was uncertain about his character's emotions and sought advice from Tang Xin. Tang Xin, earnestly acting alongside him, made the two look like a loving couple. Tang Yu, feeling uncomfortable, sought Lu Zhixing's help to intervene. Lu Zhixing had previously announced strict rules against romantic relationships during the shoot but acknowledged he could only manage the directorial team. He called the male lead aside to discuss the matter.

Tang Yu's parents visited the set to check on him and confirm the situation. Tang Xin, seeing their enthusiasm, felt a bit overwhelmed. That evening, she sought You Huan's advice on how to deal with the situation. You Huan suggested keeping a distance when the situation was unclear and adjusting according to circumstances.

Tang Yu's mother, after learning about the disagreement between Tang Yu and Tang Xin due to Tang Dingding, wanted to assist. Tang Xin, unsure how to respond to their warmth, asked You Huan for advice that night. You Huan suggested keeping a distance when the situation was unclear, and Tang Xin followed her advice.

Tang Yu's mother, after hearing about the disagreement between Tang Yu and Tang Xin due to Tang Dingding, wanted to assist. She visited Tang Xin's room, attempting to help. The two chatted happily, and Tang Yu's mother shared over a thousand photos of Tang Yu from childhood. Tang Xin was especially amused by stories of Tang Yu wetting the bed as a child. Tang Xin chatted with Tang Yu's mother all night, and the next day, she fell asleep on the set. Curious about her busy night, Tang Yu asked, and Tang Xin mentioned the little boy who wet the bed. It took Tang Yu a while to realize she was talking about him.

Tang Yu's mother came to visit and chatted happily with Tang Xin. She showed Tang Xin embarrassing photos of Tang Yu wetting the bed as a child, leaving Tang Yu feeling embarrassed. He realized that Lu Zhixing had set him up. Tang Yu pulled his mother aside to ask what she had told Tang Xin. His mother, with no choice, revealed that she did it to improve their relationship and even gave advice on how Tang Yu should pursue Tang Xin. Unbeknownst to them, their conversation was broadcasted through the walkie-talkie to the crew members. Tang Xin, present during the conversation, felt awkward, but the crew congratulated her on her relationship with Tang Yu.

Tang Yu, noticing the walkie-talkie in his mother's hand, realized Lu Zhixing had played a trick on him. Since he didn't mind openly acknowledging his relationship with Tang Xin, he took it in stride. However, he didn't want his parents to stay longer, concerned it might affect the filming, so he persuaded them to leave, promising to report any updates promptly.

Tang Yu and Tang Xin accompanied Tang's parents to see them off. Tang Yu also planned to return home. Thinking Tang Yu was still upset about the photos, Tang Xin rushed over to console him. In turn, Tang Yu comforted Tang Xin, fearing that his mother's excessive enthusiasm might affect her. Tang Xin found Tang's mother adorable and had no issues adapting. Tang Yu reminded Tang Xin to take care of Tang Dingding. As Lu Chuning was about to join the crew, Tang Xin assured Tang Yu that she would help Tang Dingding overcome any difficulties.

Lu Chuning joined the crew for a scene where she played opposite Tang Dingding. Nervous, Tang Dingding, being a newcomer without professional training, found herself overwhelmed. The weather was unfavorable, and the assistant reminded Lu Zhixing of the limited shooting time. Despite that being sufficient for Lu Chuning, Tang Dingding struggled to get into character. Lu Zhixing had no choice but to pause the shoot.

Tang Xin comforted Tang Dingding, understanding the psychological issues she was facing. Lu Chuning noticed that Tang Dingding was waiting for her, intending for her to assist with the scene. Lu Chuning readily agreed, understanding that acting was just a hobby for Tang Dingding. With Lu Chuning's patient guidance, Tang Dingding gradually overcame her psychological barriers, and the next day's shooting went much smoother. Lu Zhixing praised Tang Xin for her support.

Tang Xin mentioned to Tang Dingding that Xia Jiaming bribed Lu Zhixing with lollipops. Even if she didn't pass, Lu Zhixing wouldn't scold her too harshly. Tang Dingding marveled at how Xia Jiaming, at such a young age, had learned to use social methods. She decided to emulate Xia Jiaming and bought local specialty nougat for Lu Zhixing. Initially puzzled, Lu Zhixing understood after a male actor's hint. That night, Tang Dingding practiced tirelessly. Due to poor soundproofing in the hotel, she disturbed Lu Zhixing's sleep. Tang Yu had to come over and inform her that she had passed, but Tang Dingding refused to rest. Lu Zhixing had to use a recording to convince her to stop.

The next day, the crew used Wiya to shoot a high-altitude scene. Since Tang Dingding hadn't practiced before, she felt uncomfortable. After barely passing the shoot, they encountered a rope break. Tang Dingding, suspended in the air, clung to the railing, but she couldn't hold on for too long. Terrified, she cried, and Lu Zhixing rushed to save her. In the process, Lu Zhixing injured his hand but managed to rescue Tang Dingding, who broke down in tears in his arms.

Tang Dingding ordered takeaway to find Lu Zhixing. She had overcome the shadow left by the danger and talked with Lu Zhixing about many things. She expressed confidence in becoming a shining and hardworking actress. Their relationship also changed, including how they addressed each other. Shortly after, an explosion scene went wrong, injuring over twenty people in the crew. Tang Yu rushed there, relieved to see Tang Xin unharmed.

Lu Zhixing's encouragement gave Tang Dingding great motivation. She decided to continue her sweet approach to Lu Zhixing. She persuaded Tang Xin to accompany her in buying candies for Lu Zhixing. Tang Xin mentioned the recent crisis Tang Dingding faced, and Tang Yu immediately dealt with the involved parties. Upon learning about it, he came to settle the score with Lu Zhixing. Tang Xin quickly intervened, stating that Lu Zhixing was the one injured and that incidents on the set were common and not a big deal.

Tang Xin was drawn to a figurine that resembled Tang Yu and decided to buy it as a gift for him. She wanted Tang Yu to see his real angry expression. Huo Chendong arrived early to console the crew members and brought Tang Dingding her favorite durian pizza. However, Lu Zhixing preemptively gave it to Tang Dingding. Seeing a somewhat intimate moment between them, Huo Chendong felt uncomfortable. That night, while Tang Dingding was delivering candies to Lu Zhixing, she ran into Huo Chendong, reinforcing his suspicion about their relationship.

Faced with Tang Dingding's bi-weekly gift-giving, Lu Zhixing joked that the first thing he would do upon returning to Nangang is to see a dentist. Tang Dingding, believing him, planned to take the candies back and send a different gift another day. However, Lu Zhixing clarified it was just a joke, and since she brought them, he wouldn't let her take them back. Feeling awkward, Tang Dingding left and coincidentally met the male lead coming out of the opposite room. He asked Lu Zhixing for candies, but Lu Zhixing hesitated to give away the gift.

Tang Xin secretly went to Tang Yu's room and gave him the figurine she bought. After spending a sweet moment together, Tang Yu suggested she not go back that night. Tang Xin, with butterflies in her stomach, imagined something more between them. However, Tang Yu only wanted her help blow-drying his hair. At that moment, Huo Chendong inconveniently came with wine to chat. Facing the possibility of being sent to Africa, Huo Chendong promptly escaped.

On the next day's set, as they had to film a kissing scene, Tang Dingding was nervous. Tang Xin comforted her, and Huo Chendong asked if she had really considered it. He even planned to talk to Tang Xin about changing the script. Still, Tang Dingding stopped him, claiming that giving her first kiss to the screen was a beautiful thing. The male lead's posture was awkward, so Lu Zhixing stepped forward to demonstrate. Suddenly, Tang Dingding slipped, and Lu Zhixing caught her in his arms, accidentally sharing a kiss. Everyone was surprised, and Huo Chendong wanted to punch Lu Zhixing.

After returning, You Huan teased Tang Dingding about her screen debut kiss. Tang Xin knew what was on Tang Dingding's mind and said she could barely remember her screen debut kiss; all she could think of was kissing Lu Zhixing. After much consideration, Lu Zhixing bought something and came over to apologize. Tang Dingding graciously accepted, stating that she wasn't such a petty person.

"Making a Dream for You" concluded its filming. Tang Yu intimately hugged Tang Xin for a photo, caught by Tang's mother. She called Tang Xin, questioning why her daughter didn't inform her about being in a relationship. Tang Xin explained, but her mother was still angry. She decided to take Tang Yu home.

Lu Zhixing invited Tang Dingding to dinner, apologizing for his actions. Tang Dingding asked Lu Zhixing to take her photo, and he was captivated by her beauty and unique charm. He gave her a gift, asking her to open it at home. When Tang Dingding opened it, she found a hairpin, the same one the male lead gave the female lead in a film Lu Zhixing directed. This raised her expectations, and Tang Dingding quickly gained popularity. Despite being busy every day, she remained concerned about her acting skills and worked even harder, fearing future criticism when the film is released.

Tang Xin brought Tang Yu home. Since Tang Yu had previously rejected Tang Xin, her parents were not impressed. Tang's father blocked the door, and Tang's mother claimed there wasn't much food prepared, so there was no place for Tang Yu. Awkwardly standing there, Tang Xin had to do some fatherly persuasion. With her cute tactics, Tang's father eventually surrendered, allowing them to enter. Tang Xin informed Tang Yu that the father hurdle was cleared, and the next step was dealing with Tang's mother.

Tang's father asked if Tang Yu played mahjong. It seemed like there was nothing that couldn't be solved over a mahjong game. Tang Yu played along, trying to help Tang's father get the tiles he needed. However, Tang Xin intercepted several tiles, causing Tang Yu's efforts to entertain his future father-in-law to fall short. After dinner, Tang's father formally asked about Tang Yu's feelings for Tang Xin. Tang Yu knelt down and swore to the heavens that his feelings for her were more than just a liking—he was ready to love her with his life. This answer moved Tang's father and mother, and Tang Xin couldn't hold back her tears.

During breakfast the next day, Tang's father mentioned Tang Xin's class reunion and brought up her past crush on Han Yang. Tang Xin awkwardly reminded her father not to mention it, but he paid no attention. Annoyed, Tang's mother dragged him away. Tang Yu, feeling a bit jealous, offered to accompany Tang Xin to the reunion. However, Tang's father wanted him to accompany him to the chess and card room for mahjong. Helpless, Tang Yu had to deal with his future father-in-law first. On the other side, Tang Dingding had dinner with her parents. Lu Zhixing sent a message that he was drinking alone. Tang Dingding immediately made a plan and lied about accompanying Shen Fei, luring Lu Zhixing out for a drink. She took him to a nightclub, and despite Lu Zhixing feeling a bit out of place in the noisy environment, he slowly adapted, thanks to Tang Dingding's company.

At the class reunion, You Huan teased Tang Xin about her past crush, and coincidentally, Han Yang arrived. He seemed to still have feelings for Tang Xin, but she considered him a thing of the past. She only had eyes for Tang Yu now. After the reunion, Tang Yu waited at the door to pick up Tang Xin. They encountered Han Yang, who tried to provoke them. Han Yang deliberately explained why he didn't go to Beijing with Tang Xin initially. Tang Yu confidently responded, saying Han Yang wasn't worthy of Tang Xin, and he could give his life for her, something Han Yang couldn't do. Tang Yu and Tang Xin left gracefully.

Walking home together, Tang Xin asked Tang Yu if he believed in love at first sight. Her one-sided love for him was her secret. On a bridge, they kissed, and Tang Yu surprised Tang Xin with fireworks, prepared in advance for the New Year. After the New Year, Tang Yu took Tang Xin home, discussing the possibility of meeting his parents. Nervous, Tang Xin planned to dress more formally and lied about her weight, going on a diet to fit into the clothes Tang Yu prepared.

The rough cut of "Making a Dream for You" was completed, and Feng Cheng treated everyone. Tang Xin, hesitant due to her diet, only started eating after persuasion from Tang Yu. Feng Cheng and Lu Zhixing were a bit drunk and brought up Lu Zhixing and Tang Dingding's situation. Lu Zhixing had concerns due to their age difference, but Feng Cheng reassured him, saying an eight-year age gap was nothing, especially when they were such a well-matched couple.

Tang Yu brought Tang Xin home, and Tang's mother gave her a large red envelope as a welcome gift. Tang's mother eagerly asked when they planned to get married, catching Tang Xin off guard with the unexpected question.

Tang Xin received a warm welcome at Tang Yu's home. Seizing the opportunity, Tang Yu's mother indulged in drinking, causing Tang Xin to become intoxicated. Tang Yu escorted Tang Xin home, and taking advantage of her tipsy state, Tang Xin expressed her true feelings to Tang Yu. Her affection for him was beyond Tang Yu's imagination. Tang Xin hoped for something more with Tang Yu, but he was reluctant to take advantage of her inebriated state. Despite this, he took good care of Tang Xin, even cooking noodles for her when she woke up. Tang Xin found the taste familiar, and Tang Yu claimed to have received the authentic teachings from his father-in-law.

The next day, Tang Yu took Tang Xin to Lu Zhixing's studio for a project discussion. While in the car, Tang Xin chatted with other directors on WeChat. She had become popular, with several directors inviting her to work as a screenwriter. Tang Yu felt a twinge of jealousy, realizing someone dared to approach the boss's wife. Representing Time Film, he extended an invitation to Tang Xin, who said she needed to consider it.

Dingding met Lu Zhixing, and Feng Cheng and Tang Xin coincidentally created an opportunity for them. Feng Cheng didn't show up, and Tang Xin lied that Lu Zhixing's hard drive was damaged. She asked Tang Yu to take her out for a meal and informed Feng Cheng. Feng Cheng relayed the good news to Lu Zhixing, urging him not to miss the chance. Lu Zhixing tested Dingding's feelings by suggesting deleting the footage of their kiss. Dingding decided not to delete it, and they sealed their love with a kiss.

Tang Yu's arrival made Lu Zhixing uncomfortable, as Tang Yu might become his brother-in-law. The sudden change in Lu Zhixing's attitude unsettled Tang Yu, but Dingding sent Lu Zhixing a text expressing her missings just after he left. Lu Zhixing, replying and muttering to himself, was startled when Tang Yu overheard. Fortunately, Tang Yu didn't delve into the matter.

Huo Chendong heard that Tang Yu was buying a diamond ring and thought his sincerity was lacking. He suggested a custom-made ring, and Tang Yu agreed. However, not knowing Tang Xin's finger size, he had to find an opportunity to measure it without her noticing. Luckily, with the help of You Huan, a skilled designer, they managed the task.

Huo Chendong set his sights on You Huan, but she knew him as a playboy and immediately rejected him. Huo Chendong claimed to have the advantage of patience and hoped time would prove his sincerity.

Tang Yu held a meeting to discuss the schedule for "Dreaming for You," fearing it might clash with foreign films. Dingding was the first to oppose, having watched the foreign film and believing "Dreaming for You" was just as good. She insisted Tang Yu should firmly compete with the foreign film for a higher position.

"Dreaming for You" achieved enormous success upon release, and Dingding became the leading lady with a billion-dollar box office. Her relationship with Lu Zhixing reached new heights. To celebrate, Dingding found a secluded spot to be intimate with Lu Zhixing, who reminded her to be cautious, considering her current popularity and potential rumors that could affect her career.

Tang Dingding and Lu Zhixing's kiss was discovered by fans. Dingding asked them not to share it online for now and promised an official announcement in a few days. True to her word, Dingding recorded an official announcement video with Lu Zhixing, emphasizing their love at first sight. Lu Zhixing was concerned about the impact on her career, but Dingding believed love was more important in her eyes.

Tang Yu's mother was delighted by the news, expressing satisfaction with Lu Zhixing. Tang Yu's father, however, suspected ulterior motives, thinking Lu Zhixing approached Dingding with hidden intentions. He insisted on keeping a close eye on Lu Zhixing to protect their precious daughter. You Huan noticed Huo Chendong's indifferent reaction to the news. Huo Chendong claimed to treat Dingding like a sister and was now trying to pursue You Huan. To avoid conflict with her brother, Dingding had already prepared Tang Xin by giving her many precautions. Tang Yu approved of Lu Zhixing as his brother-in-law, knowing him well, acknowledging his occasional stubbornness but recognizing his good character and capabilities.

Tang Xin, feeling exhausted from accompanying Tang Yu on promotional tours, requested a vacation with Tang Yu by her side, which he promptly approved. Tang Yu blindfolded Tang Xin and drove her to a special location. There, he prepared a grand proposal with flowers, balloons, and a hydrogen balloon ride. As they floated in the air, fireworks and an English message reading "Marry Me" appeared. Tang Yu presented a custom-designed diamond ring and proposed to Tang Xin, who tearfully accepted.

The two families discussed the wedding, and Tang Yu presented a prenuptial agreement, willingly giving all his assets to Tang Xin. If he ever wronged her during the marriage, he agreed to leave with nothing. Tang Xin's parents found it inappropriate, but Tang Yu's parents supported their son's decision. During a family dinner, embarrassing childhood stories of Tang Yu and Tang Xin were shared. Tang Yu used this as an excuse to take Tang Xin for a walk.

Tang Yu and Tang Xin prepared to register their marriage. Tang Xin shared the marriage certificate on social media, receiving congratulations from friends and onlookers. Tang Yu asked Dingding about the definition of liking on a scale, learning about Huo Chendong's deceptive remarks. Concerned, Tang Yu canceled the credit card associated with Dingding.

Tang Yu told Tang Xin that liking someone at 5 means wanting to pursue them, at 7 wanting to kiss them, and at 9 wanting to marry them. These were words Huo Chendong casually used to deceive Dingding, but Tang Xin surprisingly believed in them. Tang Xin felt these words made sense, and Tang Yu, seeing her reaction, kissed her to express his feelings, creating a beautiful night.

Tang Xin visited Time Film, where everyone treated her differently now that she was the boss's wife. Even the previously hostile writers approached her with flattery, but Tang Xin remained gracious, not holding grudges. Tang Yu and Tang Xin hosted a feast for friends, including Huo Chendong, You Huan, Dingding, and Lu Zhixing, who expressed their blessings. After dinner, Dingding walked with Lu Zhixing, who had transformed from a commitment-phobe to deeply in love. Dingding thanked fate for their meeting, which led to her becoming the lead in "Dreaming for You" and entering Lu Zhixing's life.

Huo Chendong took You Huan to the company to discuss the next project's costume design fees. During a power outage, Huo Chendong lit candles, and You Huan jokingly suggested they start. Although Huo Chendong was momentarily surprised, You Huan clarified that she was just kidding. However, there was an unspoken understanding, and their relationship gradually grew closer. Tang Yu was captivated by Tang Xin in a wedding dress, and they sweetly took wedding photos by the seaside, vowing to protect their love forever.
