Yu Jiaen was arranged for a blind date, and the other person was someone who had experienced being dumped before marriage, just like her. As a "veteran," Yu Jiaen had plenty of experience, and with a few words, she convinced the other person that being dumped was just that – being dumped. Thankfully, it happened before marriage; otherwise, she would have had to split the house, which wouldn't be worth it. She found Yu Jiaen's words reasonable.

Yu Jiaen had dinner with her best friend Li Nianhuan. Li Nianhuan didn't want Yu Jiaen to be influenced by Xu Yao and hoped that she could find her old self again. Yu Jiaen witnessed some unclear interactions between Li Nianhuan's husband, Xu Wensong, and the company's accountant. They shared the same milk tea, and he even skipped accompanying Li Nianhuan to a prenatal check-up to be with the accountant. Yu Jiaen intentionally knocked the milk tea from Xu Wensong's hand, hinting to the accountant not to touch other people's belongings.

While on the plane, Yu Jiaen encountered Xu Yao again. They were on the same flight back to Beijing. However, in the parking garage, when she was calling her driver, Xu Yao's partner Su Yi accidentally knocked her phone out of her hand, breaking the screen. Xu Yao happened to appear, picked up the phone, and without much exchange, Yu Jiaen left. After arriving in Beijing, Li Nianhuan contacted Yu Jiaen. She told Li Nianhuan about seeing Xu Wensong at the airport sharing a drink with another girl through the same straw, advising her to be cautious. Despite avoiding discussing Xu Wensong for years to prevent arguments, Yu Jiaen couldn't stand by and watch Li Nianhuan end up with nothing. She had already given up her job, her dreams, and became Xu Wensong's housekeeper. She was even pregnant, yet Li Nianhuan remained steadfast in her belief in Xu Wensong.

Yu Jiaen's landlord needed her to move out due to her son's upcoming wedding. If she didn't move, the rent would increase. Though Yu Jiaen reluctantly started looking for a new place, the high rent worried her. She received an interview opportunity, but the HR person was concerned about her age and unmarried status at thirty. Additionally, Yu Jiaen was resistant to answering questions about her future relationships, which led the HR person to reject her application. Yu Jiaen faced consecutive failures in her job interviews – either companies thought she lacked experience or she wasn't the right age.

On social media, Yu Jiaen saw someone offering a spare bedroom for rent. She brought flowers to see the place and unexpectedly found her former boss Zhang Qing there. It turned out that the one renting the room was Zhang Qing. Despite their previous conflicts, Yu Jiaen understood that Zhang Qing wouldn't rent to her, so she turned to leave. Zhang Qing, a clear-minded woman, advised Yu Jiaen not to be too stubborn sometimes, as it wouldn't make people care about her. She suggested learning to compromise is not embarrassing. However, Yu Jiaen remained stubborn, not heeding Zhang Qing's advice. She left, throwing the flowers in the trash, and ended up cutting her hand on the thorns. Unable to hold back her emotions, she cried as she looked at her bleeding fingers.

Yu Jiaen's landlord came with a renovation team to inspect the house. Though Yu Jiaen was angry, she wasn't set on staying there. She decided to move out quickly, and they agreed that the landlord would refund the current month's rent and deposit. Unlike Yu Jiaen, Xu Yao started a new company called Fading Stars and became the boss, leading very different lives.

Xu Yao found Yu Jiaen's phone number in his old phone and called her, arranging to meet at their old spot at 8 PM. Just after hanging up, Yu Jiaen received an interview invitation from Fading Stars' HR.

Learning that Su Yi's father, Su Xianshan, was one of Fading Stars' investors, Xu Yao asked Su Yi to arrange a meeting with him. He thanked Su Xianshan for the investment but found his phone dead and couldn't check the time. As a result, he missed the appointment, and Yu Jiaen left without waiting, leaving behind the notebook he had given her without any writing.
