Crush on My Ex-husband Recap

Episode 1 Recap

After a night of springtime passion, Jiang Shishi woke up early to do her makeup and get herself ready. As a full-time housewife, maintaining decorum and responsibility were Jiang Shishi's duties, and living a humble and obedient life was her guiding principle. "Three years, two children" was the performance target Jiang Shishi had to meet. However, it had been two years since she married into the Qi family, and she hadn't had any children yet. Her mother-in-law was extremely dissatisfied with the situation, forcing Jiang Shishi to drink various Chinese medicines for treatment every day. Of course, Jiang Shishi willingly obeyed these arrangements to stay in the Qi family.

Qi Junye, as the only son of the Qi family and the CEO of Junyue Group, not only had a successful career but also exuded charm and was practically the ideal male lead in a romantic drama. Thinking of her husband, Jiang Shishi looked at Qi Junye with adoration as he approached her. Her mother-in-law instructed Jiang Shishi to bring some snacks to Qi Junye.

In the evening, Jiang Shishi personally prepared a midnight snack for Qi Junye. She wanted to send him a message on WeChat but kept typing and deleting the words in the chatbox. In the end, she decided to bring the snacks to his office herself. However, when she arrived at the company's entrance, she unexpectedly saw Qi Junye and another girl hugging and kissing in a car. The snacks she was holding slipped from her hands to the ground.

As Jiang Shishi quickly realized the situation, she hailed a taxi and followed Qi Junye's car. With her own eyes, she saw the two of them enter a hotel together, still in each other's arms.

The next day, Jiang Shishi handed Qi Junye a divorce agreement. However, he rejected the divorce agreement and hoped that Jiang Shishi would reconsider. Seeing that Jiang Shishi was determined, Qi Junye proposed a one-month cooling-off period. Reflecting on the unexpected revelation she had overheard about her father's death being related to something Qi Junye had said, Jiang Shishi presented her own condition: she wanted to enter Junyue Group.

Episode 2 Recap

Jiang Shishi arrived at the company as scheduled, but Qi Junye was already waiting at the entrance. However, Jiang Shishi, as if she hadn't seen Qi Junye, walked past him and distributed snacks to her colleagues in the design department. Qi Junye was momentarily stunned, and with a cold expression, he walked past Jiang Shishi. His assistant noticed his boss Qi Junye's mood and proactively handed him the sweets brought by Jiang Shishi. Qi Junye hesitated for a moment but extended his hand. However, at the same time, the assistant withdrew his hand, assuming that Qi Junye was tired of eating these at home and wanted to enjoy them alone. Qi Junye directly ordered his assistant to go to the suburban office to retrieve some documents, trying to ease his frustration. The bewildered assistant had no choice but to comply.

Inside the office, people began to speculate about Jiang Shishi's identity. Regarding Qi Junye's mysterious wedding from years ago, nobody except family members knew what Qi Tai Tai (Mrs. Qi) actually looked like. Some speculated that Jiang Shishi was the rumored Mrs. Qi, and Jiang Shishi just smiled at these discussions.

Qi Junye introduced the new director at Junyue, Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan), to the office, and everyone cheered except for Jiang Shishi, who stared fiercely at the girl in front of her. Wasn't she the girl Qi Junye was having an affair with? However, the next moment, Chu Yu approached Jiang Shishi, shook her hand, and introduced the two as college classmates. Jiang Shishi didn't seem pleased and referred to her as Chu Bailian, accusing her of being fake.

Later, the two met in the restroom, where Chu Yu taunted Jiang Shishi, and Jiang Shishi responded by calling her a third party. To get Jiang Shishi to explain herself, Chu Yu chased after her, but Jiang Shishi accidentally slapped her when she turned around. Upon seeing Qi Junye behind her, Chu Yu quickly ran to his side and pretended that Jiang Shishi had hit her. Jiang Shishi, unapologetic, walked up and gave Chu Yu another slap, firmly establishing her "guilt."

During dinner, Jiang Shishi wolfed down the food on the table, and her mother-in-law, noticing that she didn't resemble Qi Tai Tai at all, started to lecture her. However, Jiang Shishi didn't care. She no longer feared the position of Qi Tai Tai, and she was upset about the child growing inside her, which she had learned about not long ago.

Episode 3 Recap

After getting out of bed, Qi Junye selected a tie and attempted to tie it in front of the mirror. However, after several attempts, he couldn't get it right and decided to go find Jiang Shishi. However, the nanny informed him that Jiang Shishi had already left for work. Qi Junye lost his appetite as he looked at the breakfast on the table. His assistant observed Qi Junye's disheveled appearance and wanted to offer a reminder but received only disdain from Qi Junye.

As Qi Junye watched Jiang Shishi busy with her work, he reminisced about the loving breakfasts she made for him every day and how she took care of his daily needs. Qi Junye couldn't resist creating an opportunity to cross paths with Jiang Shishi. However, when they bumped into each other face-to-face, he shyly turned away from her.

Qi Junye called Jiang Shishi into his office and reminded her to reduce their interactions at the company and to maintain the appearance of being Mrs. Qi at home. Jiang Shishi approached and reached out to touch Qi Junye's face, but she followed it up with a slap. She firmly refused all of his requests and reminded him not to be too self-absorbed. Qi Junye was left stunned by her actions.

In the office, employees privately discussed the relationship between Qi Junye, Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan), and Jiang Shishi. Chu Yu, who overheard the conversation, felt embarrassed and put an end to their discussion. Seeing Jiang Shishi enter the restroom, Chu Yu followed quietly with a mop. She listened to the noises inside and then raised the mop to shake off the dust inside the restroom. However, the screams coming from the restroom were not Jiang Shishi's. At that moment, Jiang Shishi popped her head out from behind Chu Yu and taunted her. Chu Yu, in response, threw the mop at Jiang Shishi and ran off on her own.

Turning to Qi Junye and hugging his arm, Chu Yu accused Jiang Shishi of bullying her. Qi Junye took the mop from Jiang Shishi's hand and ordered her to leave Junyue immediately. Jiang Shishi leaned closer to Qi Junye's ear and used the terms of their agreement to threaten him.

Fortunately, the appearance of the deputy general manager broke the deadlock. The deputy manager separated Qi Junye and Chu Yu and provided Jiang Shishi with a private "You Dun" typically used by the company's top executives, allowing her to better assist with designing.

Episode 4 Recap

Jiang Shishi worked overtime in the company to check a USB drive. Qi Junye, who was still at the office, approached Jiang Shishi to see what she was working on. Feeling uneasy, Jiang Shishi pushed Qi Junye away, shut down her computer, and grabbed her bag to leave, leaving Qi Junye sitting there looking bewildered, as if he didn't know what had just happened.

Guests arrived at home, and following her mother-in-law's wishes, Jiang Shishi decided to greet them. She preferred not to engage too much with her mother-in-law, after all. One of the guests' children pointed at the necklace around Jiang Shishi's neck, wanting to play with it. Jiang Shishi firmly declined the child's request, which upset her mother-in-law. She insisted that Jiang Shishi should give up her necklace, but Jiang Shishi counterattacked by offering her the necklace. When the child realized they couldn't get what they wanted, they resorted to physical violence and started hitting Jiang Shishi. Jiang Shishi, not pleased with this, scolded the child, and the other ladies present decided to leave after witnessing Qi Tai Tai's actions.

In the evening, Qi Junye watched as Jiang Shishi held a paintbrush and thought she was drawing him. He sat on the sofa, motionless, thinking he was her model. After a few hours, Qi Junye fell asleep on the sofa. Jiang Shishi touched his feverish forehead and decided to help him onto the bed. She used a towel to wipe his forehead, intending to leave, but Qi Junye held her hand and pulled her back. Unable to resist, Jiang Shishi ended up sleeping by Qi Junye's side for the night.

When Qi Junye woke up and saw Jiang Shishi sleeping next to him, he carefully got up, picked her up, and placed her on the bed. He gazed down at her with affection.

Jiang Shishi woke up in the early morning and realized it was already 8:30 am. She quickly changed her clothes and asked for a ride from Qi Junye, but Qi Junye insisted on giving her a day off and drove away. Jiang Shishi thought she would rest at home for the day, but instead, she rode her electric bike to the office alone.

Just as she arrived at the company's entrance, she encountered Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan). The two of them made a bet – the winner's design would be used for a project, and the loser had to disappear from the other's sight. As Jiang Shishi worked late into the night, Qi Junye decided to give her a ride home, but to his surprise, he saw another guy waiting to pick up Jiang Shishi at the company's entrance. Qi Junye's pupils dilated in shock.

Episode 5 Recap

Qi Junye watched in disbelief as Jiang Shishi got into another man's car and drove away. Frustrated by this surprise, Qi Junye could only stare in anger. Qi Junye's mother confronted him with a divorce agreement, but before he could say anything, his mother clapped her hands in approval and had even packed Jiang Shishi's luggage. As she walked out the door with her luggage, Jiang Shishi ran into Liu Shiyou, whom she mistakenly thought was Jiang Shishi's new lover. Qi Junye chased after them to stop his mother, but the heartbroken Jiang Shishi took the luggage from Qi Junye's hands and left with Liu Shiyou in the car.

Qi Junye instructed Assistant Mo to investigate Liu Shiyou's background. However, before Assistant Mo could finish speaking, Qi Junye hung up the phone and began reviewing the information himself. On the other side, the departing Jiang Shishi was arranged to have a singles party at a bar. The crowd demanded that she drink, but Liu Shiyou appeared and helped her out of the situation. Qi Junye appeared at the party with a stern face, trying to take Jiang Shishi home. However, she pushed him away. When Jiang Shishi refused to cooperate, Qi Junye resorted to using the agreement as a threat. Eventually, Jiang Shishi picked up her bag and left with Qi Junye.

Qi Junye, seeing that Jiang Shishi wouldn't get in the car, decided to pick her up and placed her in the passenger seat, even taking the initiative to fasten her seatbelt. Qi Junye then took Jiang Shishi to the place where he had previously had a date with Chu Yu.

Episode 6 Recap

As soon as Jiang Shishi closed the door, there was a knock at the door. When Jiang Shishi opened it, she came face to face with Chu Yu. Chu Yu, dressed in a white lace camisole and holding a bottle of red wine, raised an eyebrow and questioned Jiang Shishi about her attire in the middle of the night, implying she was trying to seduce someone. Chu Yu, however, explained with a straight face that she had come to borrow a bottle opener from Junye Ge (Brother Junye).

Unable to argue with Jiang Shishi, Chu Yu called Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) to explain that she had borrowed the bottle opener from his house last Tuesday, the same day his car broke down and was sent for repairs. Hearing this, Jiang Shishi finally realized that it was all a deliberate act by Chu Yu. She hugged Qi Junye's arm and asked Chu Yu to leave. Chu Yu, excited about staying there, was locked out of the room by a furious Jiang Shishi.

Chu Yu recalled Qi Junye's mother telling her about his divorce and expressing the desire for her to become her daughter-in-law. Standing outside the door, Chu Yu was secretly delighted and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

Qi Junye's mother, as well as Jiang Shishi, were unaware of this property, which Qi Junye had bought for peace and convenience for work. Surprisingly, Qi Junye praised Jiang Shishi for her recent behavior.

Suddenly, the power went out in the room, causing Qi Junye to fall on top of Jiang Shishi. They were close, and their heartbeats quickened. Qi Junye asked Jiang Shishi if she would like to continue being Mrs. Qi. Jiang Shishi was shocked by the proposal, thinking that Qi Junye must have taken the wrong medication.

As Qi Junye was about to kiss her, Jiang Shishi began to feel nauseous.

Episode 7 Recap

When Jiang Shishi (played by Zhu Jiaqian) came out of the bathroom, Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) was already waiting with a glass of water. However, as soon as Jiang Shishi's hand touched the glass, she rushed back to the bathroom, feeling nauseous. Qi Junye, who was waiting outside the door, didn't understand why she had suddenly rushed to the bathroom, thinking that his words had disgusted her.

Qi Junye helped Jiang Shishi back to the room, covered her with a blanket, and sat by her side, waiting for her. When Jiang Shishi urged him to leave, he shamelessly lay down next to her. Seeing this, Jiang Shishi kicked him away and ordered him to sleep on the sofa.

As Jiang Shishi lay in bed, she couldn't fall asleep and kept thinking about Qi Junye's sweet words and actions earlier. A smile crept onto her lips, but she quickly shook her head, reminding herself to stay clear of this scoundrel.

The next morning, Jiang Shishi was awakened by the growling of her stomach. When she opened the door, she found that Qi Junye had already prepared breakfast for her. Hungry, she wolfed down a few bites, only to rush to the bathroom to vomit shortly after.

In the company restroom, Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan) confronted Jiang Shishi once again. She taunted Jiang Shishi, suggesting that she should divorce Qi Junye and leave him. Jiang Shishi realized that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Song, had been spreading rumors. She responded with a few retorts and left.

During a company meeting, Chu Yu and Jiang Shishi took turns introducing their product design concepts. Towards the end, Jiang Shishi presented surveillance footage showing Chu Yu stealing product design ideas. Everyone in the room was shocked by the video, and despite Chu Yu's attempt to intervene, she ended up on the ground, kneeling beside Jiang Shishi.

Seeing the situation, Qi Junye immediately fired Chu Yu, and Jiang Shishi was temporarily appointed as the head of the design department.

Episode 8 Recap

At the Junye Group's new product launch event, Jiang Shishi (played by Zhu Jiaqian), as the designer of the beverage, took the stage to present her design concepts. Her speech garnered applause and praise from the audience. After the event, Jiang Shishi coincidentally encountered Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) while he was handing out invoices to his mother and younger brother. Jiang Shishi intervened and sent her mother and brother away. It was only today that Jiang Shishi learned that her mother and brother had been regularly asking Qi Junye for money ever since their marriage. This financial burden, combined with other issues, had caused Qi Junye to withhold financial support from Jiang Shishi, and he hadn't informed her about it.

Upon learning the truth, Jiang Shishi apologized to Qi Junye. He comforted her by hugging her and gently patting her head. This time, Jiang Shishi didn't resist; instead, she embraced Qi Junye.

In the evening, Qi Junye and Jiang Shishi sat together, sharing a drink. Jiang Shishi worried about how to repay the debt that Jiang's family owed Qi Junye, realizing that it was impossible for her to clear it entirely. Qi Junye caressed her face, trying to comfort her.

Thinking about her marriage, which was originally just a transaction, and her husband, whom she believed didn't love her, Jiang Shishi couldn't help but shed tears. Beside her, Qi Junye also shared his feelings of helplessness and sadness about the arranged life he had been given.

After a few drinks, Qi Junye became noticeably intoxicated, his face flushed. Holding Jiang Shishi's hand, he used his tie to wrap their hands tightly together, as if doing so would keep them together forever and prevent any future separation. Qi Junye's flushed face was buried in Jiang Shishi's neck as he mumbled words of affection, begging her to hold him and not leave him. Jiang Shishi was thoroughly charmed and moved by his gestures.

Episode 9 Recap

Waking up in the morning, Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) stretched his arms, attempting to get up. However, his arms were bound to the table, restricting his movements. Qi Junye had to twist his neck to free himself from the tie that was fastened to the table. As he touched the headband he had worn the previous night, he reminisced about his drunken antics when he had playfully asked Jiang Shishi (played by Zhu Jiaqian) to help him brush his teeth and wash his face. Suddenly, he heard a loud crack, and a sharp pain shot through his neck as he turned it abruptly. Regret washed over him as he wondered what he had done.

At the company, Jiang Shishi coincidentally crossed paths with Qi Junye, but both of them pretended not to notice each other. Qi Junye casually grabbed a nearby flowerpot and began spraying water. When Jiang Shishi walked away, Qi Junye realized that he had accidentally sprayed all the water onto a female employee's face, making him feel embarrassed. He quickly left the scene.

Sitting at her desk, Jiang Shishi received an invitation from the prestigious DK Group in the jewelry industry. Without hesitation, she declined the offer. However, as soon as she hung up the phone, she realized that it was the renowned DK Group. Despite this, she had no regrets; it wasn't the right time for her to leave the Junye Group.

Facing the newly entered Junye Group in the jewelry industry, DK Group's CEO Lin Mochen (played by Wang Jiayu) didn't pay much attention, but he couldn't underestimate Qi Junye. He needed to eliminate him as soon as possible, and Jiang Shishi, as Qi Junye's weakness, became a significant focus for Lin Mochen.

Lin Mochen arrived at the Junye Group in a red Ferrari, holding a bouquet of roses, which drew attention. He waited until Jiang Shishi appeared and, with a bouquet of roses in hand, declared his love for her. Jiang Shishi replied that she wasn't planning to date anyone, but Lin Mochen handed her his business card, revealing his affiliation with DK Group. This revelation shocked Jiang Shishi, but she still turned down Lin Mochen's invitation. Qi Junye, who had witnessed everything, was present in the background.

Despite being rejected, Lin Mochen didn't give up. He continued to send different flowers to Jiang Shishi every day, but the outcome remained the same each time. Seeing his love rival's persistence, Qi Junye decided to take matters into his own hands. When he returned home, he saw tulips on the table and promptly threw them into the trash bin. Jiang Shishi, noticing her purchased flowers in the trash, became agitated. Qi Junye, hearing that they were the flowers he had bought, retrieved the tulips from the trash.

Episode 10 Recap

Qi Junye kindly reminded Jiang Shishi that Lin Mochen was a playboy. Jiang Shishi, not one to back down, immediately showed a seemingly ambiguous photo of Qi Junye and Chu Yu, causing Qi Junye to react surprisingly by commenting on how unattractive he looked in the picture. This reaction puzzled Jiang Shishi.

Qi Junye then lifted Jiang Shishi onto the table, declaring his innocence and insisting that he had not cheated. Seeing Jiang Shishi's disappointed expression, Qi Junye playfully teased her.

At that moment, Chu Yu knocked on the door, calling for Junye Gege (older brother Junye). Qi Junye turned to open the door and directly questioned whether the photo was arranged by Chu Yu. Chu Yu's initial response was denial, but she turned the tables on Jiang Shishi. Qi Junye, without hesitation, pulled Jiang Shishi, who had been hiding behind the door, and embraced her waist, kissing her passionately in front of Chu Yu. This unexpected kiss left Chu Yu dumbfounded. Qi Junye then asserted his authority, telling Chu Yu not to visit him anymore as he was already married. With that said, he lifted the bewildered Jiang Shishi and closed the door on Chu Yu.

In the face of Qi Junye's bold move, Jiang Shishi became angry with him, but secretly found it amusing.

In her quest to win Qi Junye, Chu Yu directly attended Mrs. Song's afternoon tea event. However, she accidentally spilled water on herself while sitting, prompting Mrs. Song to take her to Qi Junye's room to change clothes. Excitedly, Chu Yu put on Qi Junye's shirt, intentionally leaving the buttons at her neck undone. She lounged on Qi Junye's bed, idly flipping through magazines.

When Qi Junye returned home with Jiang Shishi, she went to the bedroom first and saw Chu Yu lying on the bed with her thighs exposed. Jiang Shishi promptly took out her phone and began recording, startling Chu Yu, who quickly covered herself with the bedsheet. She chased after Jiang Shishi, demanding that she delete the video, but ended up being pushed to the ground.

When Qi Junye entered the room, he immediately sent Chu Yu away and grabbed Jiang Shishi's arm, attempting to explain. However, Jiang Shishi was not interested in listening and just wanted to leave. Helpless, Qi Junye pulled her into his embrace and asked her to be his wife.

Episode 11 Recap

Jiang Shishi held the necklace she retrieved from the Qi family, feeling fortunate that it was still intact. It was the only thing her father had left her. While walking, she bumped into Lin Mochen, who was sitting on a stone bench. Lin Mochen's gaze met hers, and he attempted to stand up to greet her. However, he stumbled and sat back down. Lin Mochen asked Jiang Shishi for a piece of candy, which he placed in his mouth, gradually recovering. Lin Mochen lowered his head to look for the necklace, and Jiang Shishi picked it up from the ground and handed it to him. Seeing the broken necklace, Jiang Shishi learned from Lin Mochen that it was the only thing his mother had left him. Hearing this, she clutched the necklace around her neck, seemingly empathizing with his feelings. Jiang Shishi decided to take the necklace and attempt to repair it to help Lin Mochen.

Early in the morning, Qi Junye arrived at the office and handed breakfast to Jiang Shishi. However, when he saw the sandwich in Assistant Mo's hand, he became frustrated and started banging on the office's floor-to-ceiling windows.

At the charity wine event organized by the Junye Group, Qi Junye sent out invitations with the help of Assistant Mo. Lin Mochen, who was still waiting downstairs, also received an invitation to the charity event. He invited Jiang Shishi to accompany him, and she accepted, riding in his red Ferrari.

Qi Junye was surprised to see that Chu Yu had also received an invitation. Chu Yu immediately linked arms with Qi Junye. Coincidentally, Lin Mochen and Jiang Shishi arrived at the event at the same time. As the CEO of the Junye Group, Qi Junye was expected to bring his dance partner for the opening dance at the charity gala. Jiang Shishi and Qi Junye only had eyes for each other, and they locked gazes. Qi Junye wanted to step forward and invite Jiang Shishi to dance with him. However, Chu Yu suddenly blocked his path and invited him to dance instead. To avoid embarrassing his mother and the Junye Group, Qi Junye reluctantly held Chu Yu's waist, urged on by his mother, and began dancing. Lin Mochen noticed the situation and extended his hand to invite Jiang Shishi to dance with him.

Qi Junye was completely distracted, staring at Jiang Shishi and Lin Mochen. He accidentally stepped on Chu Yu's foot repeatedly, while Chu Yu's father observed everything attentively.

Episode 12 Recap

Realizing his mistake, Qi Junye approached Assistant Mo, intending to make amends. He decided to bid on a jewelry piece designed by Jiang Shishi himself at the auction, and then personally put it on her to announce to everyone that she was his wife.

The auction officially began, with Chu Yu, Miss of the Chu Group, starting by auctioning a jade bead necklace. Under the urging of Madame Song, Qi Junye eventually acquired the item for one million yuan. Next up was the earrings designed by Jiang Shishi, a designer from the Junye Group. The starting bid was one yuan, and Qi Junye immediately raised his paddle and bid one million yuan. Lin Mochen, sitting beside him, quickly followed with a bid of one million two hundred thousand yuan. Qi Junye continued to bid, and they went back and forth several times. However, Mr. John, an offline bidder, ultimately won the item with a bid of five million yuan.

After the event, Chu Yu approached Jiang Shishi backstage and taunted her, suggesting that she was trying to get close to Lin Mochen. In response, Jiang Shishi showed Chu Yu a video she had taken of her earlier. While watching the embarrassing video, Chu Yu and Jiang Shishi fought over the phone, each trying to delete the video. In the midst of their struggle, Chu Yu accidentally pushed Jiang Shishi down the stairs. Luckily, Qi Junye arrived just in time to catch her and rushed her to the hospital.

When Lin Mochen arrived at the hospital later, Jiang Shishi was already lying in a hospital bed. Seeing Qi Junye holding Jiang Shishi's hand as he sat by her bedside, Lin Mochen chose to exit the room, closing the door behind him. Inside the room, Qi Junye finally let go of Jiang Shishi's hand and started changing his clothes. However, when Jiang Shishi woke up and saw Qi Junye's figure, she widened her eyes and couldn't help but swallow nervously. Sensing the gaze behind him, Qi Junye turned around and found Jiang Shishi pretending to be asleep. After teasing her for a while, Jiang Shishi couldn't hold back her laughter. Qi Junye, who had just been startled, decided that he wouldn't leave Jiang Shishi's side in the future, and they couldn't resist sharing a kiss.

Episode 13 Recap

Wearing sunglasses and carrying a gift, Liu Shiyou arrived at the hospital to visit Jiang Shishi. It turned out that thanks to Liu Shi's early communication with the doctor, news of Jiang Shishi's pregnancy had not leaked out. At the moment, Jiang Shishi was happily looking at her phone, where Qi Junye had publicly released a video declaring her as Mrs. Qi. This was the first time Qi Junye openly acknowledged their relationship, but considering her father's situation had not been resolved, Jiang Shishi couldn't act recklessly.

During their conversation, Lin Mochen arrived at the ward with flowers. Seeing this, Liu Shiyou discreetly left, leaving the two alone. Before they could exchange many words, Qi Junye appeared in the room, picked up the flowers Lin Mochen had brought, claimed he was allergic to pollen, and asked Lin Mochen to leave with the flowers, which he did.

That night, Jiang Shishi tossed and turned in her hospital bed, unable to sleep. She couldn't help but recall the news she had received from Assistant Mo earlier that day, that Qi Junye had arranged for her younger brother to work in a subsidiary to help alleviate her financial burden. Thinking about this, Jiang Shishi couldn't help but smile. However, when she turned around, she was startled by Qi Junye, who was leaning by the bedside. Hearing Qi Junye say, "Work is not more important than you," Jiang Shishi couldn't believe her ears. She shook Qi Junye's head repeatedly to confirm if he was really the Qi Junye she knew. Qi Junye kept getting closer, and to reassure Jiang Shishi, he crawled into her blanket. They shared the same bed, and Qi Junye held her close, telling her, "I love you."

As Jiang Shishi lay in Qi Junye's embrace, she finally asked the question that had been haunting her: Was her father's death really an accident? Qi Junye looked at her seriously and admitted that it was indeed an accident. He also expressed his desire not to divorce, which Jiang Shishi agreed to.

Once Jiang Shishi was discharged from the hospital, the two of them began their affectionate daily life. They walked hand in hand through the company's entrance, sharing a passionate kiss in the elevator. However, when the elevator doors opened, they were met by Qi Junye's uncle. Jiang Shishi awkwardly asked Qi Junye to leave first, while she helped his uncle carry some documents. She noticed the tender documents for the Jiang Group inside the box and requested access to them for review.

Episode 14 Recap

Jiang Shishi reviewed the bidding documents of the Jiang Group. In the documents, it was stated that the Jiang Group had successfully bid for a piece of land in the south of the city on August 10th, which happened to be the third day after Jiang Shishi's father's death. Emotions began to surge within Jiang Shishi, and she began to speculate whether Qi Junye had caused her father's death in order to secure the successful bid.

With this suspicion in mind, Jiang Shishi sought out Liu Shiyou for comfort and assistance. However, Chu Yu, who happened to be passing by, unexpectedly overheard the news of Jiang Shishi's pregnancy. When Jiang Shishi stood up to leave, Chu Yu was already making plans. She couldn't allow the Qi family to find out about Jiang Shishi's pregnancy, as it would make her marriage into the Qi family even more challenging. With this in mind, Chu Yu stepped on the accelerator and was about to collide with Jiang Shishi's car when Qi Junye suddenly pulled Jiang Shishi away, saving her from the accident.

Qi Junye held Jiang Shishi tightly in his arms, terrified by what could have happened. He wanted to take Jiang Shishi's hand and go home, but she instinctively pulled away.

Back at the company, their planned supplier for yellow diamonds suddenly breached the contract. Other large suppliers also backed out, leading to a halt in production. Jiang Shishi immediately realized that someone was maliciously hoarding raw materials, and there could be a mole within the company. The news quickly reached the media, causing a surge in public interest.

In desperation, Jiang Shishi approached Li Mochen, wanting to purchase a batch of yellow diamonds from him for use in Junye's production. Despite knowing that DK and Junye were competitors, Jiang Shishi braved it and reached out to Li Mochen. As part of the deal, Jiang Shishi promised to repair the necklace. Li Mochen agreed to the arrangement.

Soon, news of the wife of the president of Junye Group having an affair with a prominent figure from DK became a trending topic, and Qi Junye faced scrutiny from the board of directors. The board was not entirely receptive to Qi Junye's proposed solution.

Episode 15 Recap

Early in the morning, Jiang Shishi was awakened by a call from Liu Shiyou. Hearing the news about her trending on social media, Jiang Shishi was surprised and quickly checked her phone. Frowning, she saw a series of sensationalized headlines and gossip news. There was a knock on her door.

Jiang Shishi opened the door to find Lin Mochen standing there. She was taken aback to learn that she had unknowingly become a target of gossip. Feeling embarrassed, she apologized to Lin Mochen. It was during this conversation that Lin Mochen learned about Jiang Shishi's pregnancy. At that moment, Qi Junye entered the room, questioning Lin Mochen's late-night visit. He took off his clothes and draped them over Jiang Shishi to keep her warm.

While they were talking, Mrs. Song and Chu Yu also appeared at the door. Mrs. Song immediately wanted to slap Jiang Shishi but was stopped by Qi Junye, who held her hand back. Jiang Shishi, hearing the insulting words from Mrs. Song, left the house, determined to cut ties with Qi Junye. He tried to explain but was blocked by Mrs. Song.

The next day, Jiang Shishi came to the company to collect her belongings, preparing to leave. Her colleagues comforted her, showing their belief in her innocence. However, Qi Junye remained the only one who didn't believe Jiang Shishi. This time, she was truly heartbroken. In his office, Qi Junye watched Jiang Shishi's departing figure but made no attempt to stop her. He knew that Jiang Shishi would never cheat on him, but with the board of directors forcibly removing him from his position, he couldn't afford to drag her down with him.

Outside the company building, Chu Yu approached Jiang Shishi again, taunting her with arrogance and condescension. She looked down on Jiang Shishi completely. Jiang Shishi left without a word. Qi Junye witnessed her departure from his office, but he didn't try to stop her. He knew that she would never cheat on him, but the board of directors had removed him from his position, and he couldn't burden Jiang Shishi any further.

Downstairs, Chu Yu continued to mock Jiang Shishi, feeling proud and superior. Jiang Shishi received multiple job-seeking calls but then got a call from her brother, who informed her that their mother was in the hospital. Jiang Shishi quickly packed her things and rushed to the hospital.

Episode 16 Recap

Jiang Shishi's mother, lying in the hospital bed, was extremely upset. She was facing her daughter's marital issues, her pregnancy, and financial difficulties all at once. She didn't know how she would cope with the days ahead. Her younger brother handed her the hospital bill, but when Jiang Shishi checked her bank balance on her phone, it was insufficient, and her brother had no money either.

With no other option, Jiang Shishi decided to go home and retrieve her necklace to sell for money. However, she hesitated at the door, unsure of how to face Qi Junye. Just as she gathered the courage to knock, Qi Junye opened the door himself. Jiang Shishi walked into the room without a word but found the home in disarray, making her feel somewhat estranged.

Qi Junye changed his clothes and took Jiang Shishi to the Civil Affairs Bureau to process their divorce certificate. They were truly putting an end to their relationship. Qi Junye offered her the property rights to their house, but Jiang Shishi declined his kindness. They parted ways, and as Jiang Shishi walked away, Qi Junye felt a deep sense of apology in his heart. Meanwhile, Jiang Shishi, hidden in a corner, clutched the divorce certificate and burst into tears. Lin Mochen, who happened to pass by, witnessed it all and took Jiang Shishi in his car.

For Qi Junye, the divorce was not his intention. He only wanted to use this method to distance himself from Jiang Shishi and protect his beloved wife. However, Jiang Shishi remained unaware of all these underlying reasons.

Upon hearing that Jiang Shishi's mother was ill, Lin Mochen immediately contacted a liver cancer specialist he knew to perform surgery on her. He apologized to Jiang Shishi for his previous actions in buying out the yellow diamond raw materials. However, when it came to the business mole within the Junye Group, Lin Mochen had no information to share.

To prepare for her mother's transplant surgery, Jiang Shishi and her younger brother went for compatibility tests. Her mother repeatedly tried to stop Jiang Shishi, but in the end, she revealed the reason: "You are not my biological child."

Episode 17 Recap

Upon hearing the news that Jiang Shishi was not her biological child, even her younger brother was shocked. It turned out that Jiang Shishi had been adopted when she was a baby because her mother had desperately wanted a child. The necklace around Jiang Shishi's neck was the only thing left by her biological father.

Back at home, Qi Junye was drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day. He looked at the empty house, mirroring his empty heart. His thoughts were interrupted by Assistant Mo's voice. Assistant Mo had also been fired from the company and came to Qi Junye, seeking support.

Jiang Shishi, back at home, received a text message from Mr. John, the gentleman who had previously auctioned her designed earrings for a high price. He invited Jiang Shishi to design another jewelry set as an anniversary gift for his wife. Jiang Shishi was somewhat impressed by Mr. John and his loving description of his wife in the message. This made her involuntarily think of Qi Junye.

Mrs. Song met with Chu Yu at a café and wanted Chu Yu to ask the Chu family to help Qi Junye. Chu Yu made her intentions clear: if Qi Junye was willing to marry her, she would do everything in her power to assist him. Mrs. Song did not seek Qi Junye's opinion and unilaterally agreed to Chu Yu's proposal.

Following this, Qi Junye did not fall into despair but instead conducted a covert investigation based on his speculations. He was determined to gather enough evidence to reclaim his position at Junye Group.

While Qi Junye was having dinner with his mother at home, Qi Shuli arrived with a bottle of red wine. Mrs. Song did not have a favorable opinion of Qi Shuli, but Qi Junye, being the obedient son, set another place for him at the table. Qi Shuli got straight to the point, saying that he had been busy with his responsibilities since Qi Junye left and suggested temporarily suspending the jewelry market expansion to focus on the company's strengths. Mrs. Song defended her son in response.

Lin Mochen visited Jiang Shishi's mother with flowers. Thanks to Lin Mochen's help, Jiang Shishi's mother underwent a successful surgery. Jiang Shishi's younger brother also had a keen eye and referred to Lin Mochen as his new brother-in-law. Everyone embraced this notion, and Lin Mochen tacitly accepted it with a smile.

Episode 18 Recap

Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) was tricked into attending a dinner, and when he arrived, members of the Chu and Qi families were already gathered around the table. Facing this situation and his mother's claims, Qi Junye straightforwardly announced that he was already married. Immediately, the smile on Chu Yu's father's face faded. On the other side of the table, Jiang Shishi (played by Zhu Jiaqian) and Lin Mochen (played by Wang Jiayu) were having dinner. Jiang Shishi thanked Lin Mochen for his help during this period, and they raised their glasses for a toast. However, Jiang Shishi made an excuse and left abruptly after receiving a picture from her uncle Qi Shuli (played by Liu Guhao) showing a gathering.

Qi Junye, not wanting to give anyone face, turned to leave, but when he opened the door, he saw Jiang Shishi, who was dressed up for the occasion. Qi Junye turned back to apologize to everyone and confessed that he would not marry Chu Yu. Chu Yu's father suggested he reconsider, but Qi Junye showed no sign of changing his mind. He acknowledged Chu Yu's excellence but declared that his heart already belonged to someone else. In front of everyone, Qi Junye announced loudly, "I, Qi Junye, will have only one wife in this lifetime, and that is Jiang Shishi." With that, he grabbed Jiang Shishi's hand, and the two of them left the scene together. Chu Yu and her father left in anger too.

After leaving, Qi Junye took Jiang Shishi to the seaside, and he didn't expect eloping to be so exhilarating. Turning around, he poured out his feelings to Jiang Shishi, but she sensibly pushed him away, still conflicted about her father's death. Qi Junye finally revealed the truth, explaining that Jiang Shishi's father had worked tirelessly day and night at the factory to compete with Qi Junye for the same project. Unfortunately, an accident happened. Qi Junye had left Junye Group with a purpose, intending to uncover the real reason behind its failed IPO.

After investigating for a while, Qi Junye suspected that his uncle, Qi Shuli, was the mole. He concentrated his investigation on all the projects related to Qi Shuli and found clues. During the time when Qi Junye was competing with his father-in-law, Qi Shuli had frequently contacted him and cooperated with the Jiang family simultaneously. As a result, Qi Junye suspected that his father-in-law's death was related to Qi Shuli.

Jiang Shishi finally confessed that the child was Qi Junye's, and Qi Junye wasn't surprised at all, as he had never doubted her. Qi Junye then took out a necklace he had purchased in John's name and personally gave it to Jiang Shishi. This time, Jiang Shishi no longer concealed her feelings and kissed him passionately.

Episode 19 Recap

Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan) arrived at Qi Shuli's (played by Liu Guhao) office on behalf of Chu Group with a cooperation proposal. She aimed to make Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) regret choosing Jiang Shishi (played by Zhu Jiaqian). After a handshake, they reached a cooperation agreement. However, when they were about to sign the contract, Jiang Shishi appeared and snatched the pen from Chu Yu's hand. Chu Yu's father also arrived and interrupted the contract signing. He announced that from that day forward, Jiang Shishi would be in charge of all of Chu Group's affairs. Upon hearing this, Chu Yu rushed out, followed closely by her father.

As it turns out, Jiang Shishi is Chu Yu's biological daughter. When Jiang Shishi was three years old, she accidentally went missing. Her biological father, Chu Yu's father, had been searching for her for all these years but couldn't find her. It was only when he saw the necklace around Jiang Shishi's neck that he conducted a paternity test, confirming her as his biological daughter.

The next day, Chu Yu's father took Jiang Shishi back home. Chu Yu had been waiting at home for a while and generously offered to give up her room, but Jiang Shishi politely declined. The news that Jiang Shishi was the true daughter of the Chu family went viral overnight. Seeing this news, Mrs. Song was overjoyed, planning that now the Chu family would surely assist her son Qi Junye. She also felt relieved that her son had escaped the marriage. However, Qi Junye didn't look pleased. He mentioned that Jiang Shishi had rejected him and, with an unhappy face, called her out. Outside, Mrs. Song sent a WeChat invitation to Jiang Shishi to have tea.

During afternoon tea, the ladies had heard some rumors about Jiang Shishi's identity and were discreetly discussing it. When they saw Jiang Shishi, they greeted her with smiles, a stark contrast to their previous insults and mockery. When Jiang Shishi saw Qi Junye, she simply ignored him. Qi Junye tried to catch up with her but only witnessed Jiang Shishi leaving with Lin Mochen (played by Wang Jiayu). Qi Junye didn't appear saddened but had a faint smile. Jiang Shishi returned home with Lin Mochen, and as they sat down, Chu Yu offered her a slice of watermelon, shaped like a heart.

Episode 20 Recap

As Jiang Shishi was about to discuss cooperation with Junyue Hotel, Chu Yu offered to drive her there. Although Jiang Shishi initially declined, she eventually gave in to Chu Yu's father's request and got into Chu Yu's car.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Shishi knew that Chu Yu had ulterior motives. Chu Yu drove rapidly to a bridge and abruptly pulled Jiang Shishi out of the car. Chu Yu grabbed Jiang Shishi's neck and pressed her against the railing with the vast ocean below. For Chu Yu, she didn't care about anything anymore. Her family, love, career, fame, and fortune had all been easily taken away by Jiang Shishi. She felt like she had lost everything.

Jiang Shishi struggled, and at the brink of suffocation, Chu Yu relented and extended her hand. Jiang Shishi collapsed on the ground and cried. She couldn't bring herself to harm Jiang Shishi. On the other side, Jiang Shishi took deep breaths of fresh air. They exchanged a few words of argument, but eventually, Jiang Shishi reached out her hand to help Chu Yu up, symbolizing a different kind of reconciliation.

Jiang Shishi went to Qi Shuli's office at Junyue Hotel to confirm the details of their cooperation. Qi Shuli, however, subtly inquired about Jiang Shishi's relationship with Qi Junye and received an answer that was rooted in resentment rather than love. Qi Shuli seemed to be at ease.

As Jiang Shishi had just left the gates of Junyue Hotel and was sitting in her car, Qi Junye, who had been hiding nearby, sprung into action. He used his body to block Jiang Shishi's car and begged her to talk. However, Jiang Shishi showed no sign of softening and drove away. Qi Shuli, who had been watching everything unfold, left with satisfaction and returned to his office. Seeing Qi Shuli leave, Jiang Shishi stopped her car, and Qi Junye sat in the passenger seat. Together, they planned to execute their scheme.

Behind the scenes, Jiang Shishi had already investigated the factory that burned down in the past, which now belonged to a company controlled by Qi Shuli. Furthermore, the daughter of the security guard was an eyewitness to the fire at the factory years ago.

Episode 21 Recap

Assistant Mo, along with Qi Junye and Jiang Shishi, managed to find the daughter of the security guard who was present at the factory fire incident years ago. She recalled the events of that day when she was about to deliver food to her father. As she passed by the factory, she saw Qi Shuli clutching Jiang Shishi's tie. She was terrified, and later, Qi Shuli did not leave. Instead, he ignited the factory with a lighter, trapping Jiang Shishi inside, and he burned alive.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shishi couldn't hold back her tears. The girl had wanted to save Jiang Shishi, but the fire was too intense. She thought about reporting the incident, but her father told her to keep quiet and forget about it. Although she suspected that Qi Shuli had paid for their silence, they were in desperate need of the money at the time. The girl felt guilty about the incident.

Now, with both testimonial and physical evidence in hand, Qi Junye planned to reveal the whole truth about the incident. Jiang Shishi, grateful for learning the truth about her father's death, was comforted by Qi Junye.

With their emotions in check, Jiang Shishi and Qi Junye stormed into Qi Shuli's office; it was time to settle the score. Qi Shuli, realizing he had no way out, began to feign a pitiable act in hopes of gaining sympathy from Jiang Shishi. However, Jiang Shishi demanded that he confess on his own. The three walked down the corridor together, and just as they reached the elevator door, Qi Shuli seized Jiang Shishi, pressing a hand against her neck as a threat to Qi Junye. Panicking, Qi Junye said he would give up everything, but Qi Shuli continued to threaten and took Jiang Shishi into the elevator with him.

Episode 22 (Ending) Recap

Qi Shuli tied up Jiang Shishi's hands and feet with ropes and threw her into the old factory where the fire had occurred years ago. He then began to spread engine oil around the room in a frenzy. Jiang Shishi, who had passed out, woke up from the noise and found herself facing the almost insane Qi Shuli. She managed to calm down and attempted to negotiate with him.

Qi Junye also arrived promptly with what Qi Shuli wanted. He was willing to give up everything except Jiang Shishi. However, Qi Shuli took advantage of the situation and demanded that Qi Junye kneel and beg him. Without hesitation, Qi Junye knelt down, threw the USB drive he held to the side, and Qi Shuli rushed to pick it up. Then, Qi Shuli pushed over a nearby box and swung it towards Jiang Shishi. Qi Shuli couldn't forgive the Qi family for what they did to him, blaming them for the loss of his love due to a property dispute between Qi Junye's parents. As he spoke, Qi Shuli lit a lighter and threw it on the ground, locking the door behind him.

Qi Junye tried to free Jiang Shishi from her restraints in the burning factory. He even shielded her from falling debris. However, the fire's intensity became overwhelming, and both of them gradually lost consciousness inside the factory.

Qi Junye and Jiang Shishi were rushed to the hospital, where Liu Shiyou also arrived. Seeing Qi Junye lying unconscious in the hospital bed, Liu Shiyou found himself not disliking him as much as before. When Jiang Shishi woke up, her first action was to hold Qi Junye's hand and cry.

Several days later, Jiang Shishi looked beautiful in her wedding gown, while Qi Junye was dressed in a suit. They held a grand wedding ceremony with all their family and friends in attendance. In front of everyone, they officially announced their marriage, passionately kissed, and couldn't seem to let go. Reflecting on their initially arranged marriage, which they thought was destined, they realized it had led them to the person they truly wanted to be with. With smiles on their faces, Qi Junye and Jiang Shishi held hands and eloped to a lifetime of happiness.
