My Summer Sweetheart Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Zhu Jinhao was driving on the road late at night. She saw a car coming from the opposite direction and quickly stepped on the brakes. To her surprise, the brakes malfunctioned. Zhu Jinhao could only watch helplessly as her car collided with a large truck, and she hit her forehead and bled before falling onto the seat. Sensing the danger, Zhu Jinhao reluctantly got out of the car and walked towards the middle of the road, collapsing right in front of Lin Qingyi's car.
A day ago, Zhu Jinhao was still the heiress of a wealthy family, living a luxurious life. She woke up on her luxurious bed, took a bath, dressed appropriately, and headed out. When she arrived at the company, everyone was already there. Zhu Anran had already presented the plans she had worked on.
Lin Qingyi drove with Xiao Jia to the seaside. As soon as the car stopped, Xiao Jia got out and tried to escape, but Lin Qingyi, with his long arms and legs, quickly caught Xiao Jia. Xiao Jia panicked and screamed for help, but there was no one around in this area. Xiao Jia's resistance was futile, and she had no choice but to follow Lin Qingyi into the café. Lin Qingyi personally made two cups of coffee. Xiao Jia didn't want to drink, but she couldn't resist the temptation of money. After Lin Qingyi transferred ten thousand yuan to her, she planned to finish the coffee in one go. However, the coffee was bitter and unpleasant, and Xiao Jia couldn't drink it. She seized the opportunity and quickly slipped away.
Zhu Jinhao remained calm and prepared to present her plans about Aman Island. At this moment, a man carrying a bucket rushed in. Upon learning that Zhu Jinhao was from the Zhu family, he directly splashed the liquid from the bucket onto her.
Episode 2 Recap
Zhu Jinhao realized that the man approaching was not friendly, and immediately subdued him. The man claimed that his ancestors had lived on Aman Island for generations and refused to move. However, Zhu Jinhao knew all about the man's background. She knew he was a gambler, his wife had left with the children long ago, and someone like him was most interested in money. Zhu Jinhao directly presented two conditions for the man to choose from. Without hesitation, the man chose two million. As he left, he praised Zhu Jinhao, stating that she truly lived up to her reputation as someone from a big enterprise.
Zhu Jinhao looked at her soaking clothes, returned the coat that Shen Jinchuan had handed her moments ago, and proceeded to tidy up. After finishing her wash-up routine, she put on a black dress, casually tied up her hair, and had just sat down to prepare for work when Shen Jinchuan came in uninvited. He talked about a person surnamed Lin on Aman Island who owned more than half of the island's buildings and shops. This person was difficult to deal with and had no interest in money.
Upon learning about this matter, Zhu Jinhao immediately prepared to depart to handle the situation with Mr. Lin. Shen Jinchuan initially wanted to accompany her, but Zhu Jinhao believed that they were not suited to work together. She advised him not to waste time with her, so she went to Aman Island alone. Director Zhen clearly felt that his glasses had fallen under the table, but despite searching for a while, he couldn't find them. So, when Zhu Jinhao came to find him, he couldn't see her properly and advised her not to waste time. However, Zhu Jinhao didn't believe it. After Lin Qingyi rejected her call, she went directly to the beach to find someone. Coincidentally, Lin Qingyi mistook her intentions for a suicide attempt and pulled her out of the sea. In response, Zhu Jinhao slapped Lin Qingyi.
Episode 3 Recap
Zhu Jinhao went to a café to have coffee, and Xiao Jia recognized her as Lin Qingyi's crush. Xiao Jia warmly received her. Lin Qingyi was the barista at the café, and the Italian espresso that Zhu Jinhao ordered was made by him. However, after taking a sip, Zhu Jinhao frowned, believing that Lin Qingyi couldn't make coffee at all. Lin Qingyi was not convinced and asked Zhu Jinhao to make her own coffee. To everyone's surprise, Zhu Jinhao displayed a skillful sequence of actions. Not only did she point out the issues with Lin Qingyi's technique, but she also masked the bitterness perfectly. After tasting the coffee and finding it delicious, Lin Qingyi didn't admit it, only stating that her skill was just average.
Later that night, Zhu Jinhao was driving on a rainy road. Everything seemed normal until she realized her brakes were failing. Anxious, she watched as a large vehicle approached. With no way to avoid it, she managed to stop very close to the large vehicle. Zhu Jinhao sat in the driver's seat for a while, feeling that something was off. She planned to leave quickly, but as soon as she got out of the car, she saw a masked man with a duckbill hat staring at her intently. Zhu Jinhao knew that today wouldn't end well, so she immediately ran towards the middle of the road and collapsed in front of Lin Qingyi's car.
Thinking that someone was trying to fake an accident, Lin Qingyi approached the person in front of his car and reminded them that there were no cameras or witnesses here. If they were run over, no one would know. However, the person remained still. Lin Qingyi got out of the car to check and was surprised to find that the person was actually Zhu Jinhao.
Episode 4 Recap
Lin Qingyi brought Zhu Jinhao to the hospital, and after an examination, the doctor discovered that Zhu Jinhao had suffered a head injury that could cause temporary amnesia. Lin Qingyi thought of Zhu Jinhao as someone he had rescued, but the doctor believed that Zhu Jinhao was Lin Qingyi's wife. Seeing Lin Qingyi showing signs of leaving her, Zhu Jinhao quickly jumped off the hospital bed and clung to him like an octopus, preventing him from leaving her behind. With no other choice, Lin Qingyi had to leave the hospital with Zhu Jinhao. As they walked on the road, Zhu Jinhao brought up the topic again, stating that she only recognized Lin Qingyi and pleaded for him not to abandon her.
With Zhu Jinhao missing, the Zhu family conglomerate lost its leader. Zhu Anran, the illegitimate daughter of the Zhu family, took the opportunity to demand the position of CEO. However, the board of directors deemed this inappropriate. As an alternative, Zhu Anran requested to be in charge of the Aman Island project.
Shen Jinchuan, young and wealthy, had always been the person Zhu Anran desired. However, despite his openness to various relationships, Shen Jinchuan had never been interested in Zhu Anran, who actively pursued him. Zhu Anran originally believed it was because of her status as an illegitimate daughter, but Shen Jinchuan bluntly stated that it was due to her malicious intentions. He was certain that whatever had happened with Zhu Jinhao was orchestrated by Zhu Anran.
Seeing that Zhu Jinhao was uncomfortable in her hospital gown, Lin Qingyi took her to buy clothes. Afraid that Lin Qingyi might leave her, Zhu Jinhao blindfolded him and had him accompany her while she changed. Lin Qingyi asked Director Zhen to help Zhu Jinhao find a place to stay. However, Zhu Jinhao insisted that she was Lin Qingyi's distant fiancée, and she went back home with him.
Episode 5 Recap
After losing her memory, Zhu Jinhao only wanted to grasp the first person she saw upon waking up, Lin Qingyi. Lin Qingyi didn't like that Zhu Jinhao casually told people she was his fiancée. Seeing Lin Qingyi's displeasure, Zhu Jinhao cautiously probed and, in the end, Lin Qingyi couldn't bear to leave her behind, so he brought her back to the store.
Zhu Jinhao hadn't eaten for a long time and was very hungry. Lin Qingyi broke the rule of not having cooked food in the store and prepared instant noodles for Zhu Jinhao. Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinhao found them tasteless, which annoyed Lin Qingyi a bit.
Xiao Jia recognized that Zhu Jinhao had been to the small store before but didn't know her true identity. The three of them sat down together to discuss where Zhu Jinhao could stay. Xiao Jia mentioned that her place was too small to accommodate Zhu Jinhao, but Lin Qingyi's home was large and spacious, making it a suitable option. Lin Qingyi, hearing Xiao Jia's words, retorted that Xiao Jia was quite skilled at arranging things, making it all clear for herself.
In the end, Zhu Jinhao followed Lin Qingyi back. Seeing Lin Qingyi's luxurious mansion, she felt that he had no need to run a coffee shop. She didn't want to live off him without contributing, so she gave him a bracelet and offered to work for him. The next day, Lin Qingyi mentioned that he had developed a new coffee blend. This startled Xiao Jia, who quickly moved aside. Zhu Jinhao, not realizing the strength of the taste, took a sip and ended up spitting it all over Lin Qingyi's face. This left Lin Qingyi both frustrated and defeated. Zhu Anran went to Oman Island to find Boss Xiao Lin, but Director Zhen was displeased with Zhu Anran's arrogance and refused to divulge any information.
Episode 6 Recap
Zhu Anran learned that Lin Qingyi's surname was Lin and couldn't help but take a second look at him. Director Zhen quickly remarked that about eight out of ten people on the island have the surname Lin. Zhu Anran found it hard to believe that someone like Lin Qingyi, who appeared to be of humble means, could own half the shops and houses on the island. She casually mentioned that she would come back and then turned to leave.
Director Zhen originally intended to have a meal with Lin Qingyi, but he declined, thinking about Zhu Jinhao waiting for him to feed her. This refusal puzzled Director Zhen, who wondered when Lin Qingyi had become so good to Xiao Jia. Xiao Jia received a random phone call that infuriated her. Determined to teach the caller a lesson, she changed into her taekwondo uniform and met with Shen Jinchuan on the beach. Seeing Shen Jinchuan dressed flamboyantly, she jumped to conclusions that he wasn't a good person and landed a blow on his handsome face. With his face swelling and holding an ice pack, Shen Jinchuan inquired about Zhu Jinhao from Xiao Jia. However, Xiao Jia thought he was a pervert. Only after receiving a payment from Shen Jinchuan did she realize he was searching for a "woman who stands elegantly and aggressively in a crowd." She decided to hand him over to the police uncle when she found the woman.
After investigating, Director Zhen discovered that Zhu Jinhao wasn't from the island and needed to be sent off the island to find her family. Lin Qingyi purposely bought a new phone for Zhu Jinhao, stored his number on it, and prepared a large bag of snacks for her. Although Zhu Jinhao initially declined, she was secretly delighted when she saw the gifts.
Episode 7 Recap
Zhu Jinhao's sudden disappearance worried Lin Qingyi greatly. He hurriedly made phone calls while searching the beach for her, but despite calling repeatedly, nobody answered. In his frantic state, he spotted Zhu Jinhao in the distance on the beach. Annoyed, he rushed over and pulled her back. Zhu Jinhao had been enjoying the sea, standing in the water with a sprig of cedar in her arms. When Lin Qingyi pulled her, she accidentally twisted her foot. Lin Qingyi built a bonfire by the shore and listened as Zhu Jinhao spoke about how happy she was on Oman Island, expressing her desire to stay. Unable to resist her, Lin Qingyi made a pact with her and allowed her to continue staying at his place.
Lin Qingyi carried the injured Zhu Jinhao back to the store and coincidentally encountered Chu Lingling, who was persistently seeking his attention. Chu Lingling was the daughter of the owner of the island's largest mall. She came to the store to invite Lin Qingyi to an event at her home, but he paid her no mind. Frustrated, Chu Lingling offered a sum of a hundred thousand to entice Lin Qingyi into making coffee for her. Xiao Jia immediately stepped forward, claiming to have received Lin Qingyi's true teachings and taking on the business.
Chu Lingling demanded that Xiao Jia and Zhu Jinhao wear formal attire for the event. However, after rummaging through their wardrobes, they couldn't find anything suitable. Xiao Jia took Zhu Jinhao with her and sneaked into Lin Qingyi's room early in the morning. When Lin Qingyi opened his eyes and saw them, he was startled, hastily pulling up his collar and getting out of bed on the other side. Xiao Jia and Zhu Jinhao pursued closely, insisting that Lin Qingyi buy them clothes.
Episode 8 Recap
Xiao Jia and Zhu Jinhao looked at Lin Qingyi with anticipation, but he didn't budge, continuing with his morning routine. Seeing this, Xiao Jia reluctantly offered to deduct the cost from her next month's salary, to which Lin Qingyi agreed. However, Zhu Jinhao had just arrived and didn't even have a salary yet. Xiao Jia had to reluctantly say that she would take responsibility for the expense.
After changing into his clothes, Lin Qingyi took Xiao Jia and Zhu Jinhao to choose formal attire. Xiao Jia was dazzled by the variety of clothes in the store and couldn't contain her excitement. Zhu Jinhao also liked the clothes but couldn't decide which one to pick. Xiao Jia preferred more extravagant outfits and selected a white and a black dress, hoping to pair up with Zhu Jinhao for the event on Oman Island. Lin Qingyi thought those outfits were too extravagant, so he chose one for Zhu Jinhao. Xiao Jia wanted Lin Qingyi to help her choose as well, but he was in no mood for it and told the store attendant to assist her directly.
When Zhu Jinhao couldn't zip up the dress in the fitting room, she quickly called for Xiao Jia's help. However, Xiao Jia was trying on clothes in the neighboring stall and didn't hear her. Seeing this, Lin Qingyi offered his assistance, but Zhu Jinhao felt shy about having a guy help her, so she asked Lin Qingyi to close his eyes. Lin Qingyi couldn't see and accidentally brushed against Zhu Jinhao, causing ripples in his heart. Chu Lingling went to the store to shop, but her card was frozen and she couldn't pay. She asked Shen Jinchuan for help and invited him to her birthday celebration.
Episode 9 Recap
When Xiao Jia and Zhu Jinhao arrived at the hotel, Chu Lingling was already standing at the entrance to welcome guests. She mocked Xiao Jia and Zhu Jinhao for dressing too plainly, saying it suited their roles as waitstaff, and then she brought out two masks for them to wear. Nervous, Xiao Jia immediately wanted to use the restroom, so Zhu Jinhao went in first to handle things.
As agreed, Shen Jinchuan arrived with a necklace as a gift. Chu Lingling was very pleased and shamelessly asked Shen Jinchuan to help her put it on. He willingly obliged, and after putting it on, he even complimented Chu Lingling's appearance, which made her feel proud. In return, Chu Lingling took out a yellow mask specially prepared for Shen Jinchuan and personally put it on him.
Zhu Jinhao was busy making coffee at the counter. Whenever someone walked by, she instinctively asked if they needed coffee. Shen Jinchuan found her voice familiar and became intrigued by her. Just then, Xiao Jia returned and directly mocked Shen Jinchuan's old-fashioned approach to striking up conversations. She then lifted his mask, recognizing him as the pervert from the beach, and became even more guarded. Chu Lingling was envious of Zhu Jinhao winning Lin Qingyi's favor. She intentionally set up Zhu Jinhao with her overweight friend, and the overweight woman took the opportunity to throw a diamond ring into the bag at the counter. Shen Jinchuan witnessed all of this clearly. Zhu Jinhao demanded to review the surveillance footage to clear her name, but the surveillance here was already broken. The overweight woman took advantage of this fact, allowing her to set them up without fear.
Episode 10 Recap
Chu Lingling was aggressive, insisting that Zhu Jinhao and Xiao Jia apologize. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Shen Jinchuan warned the overweight woman, suspecting that she might have accidentally misplaced the ring herself. He wanted to act as a peacemaker, but Zhu Jinhao firmly denied any wrongdoing and refused to be framed, insisting on involving the police. Frustrated, the overweight woman started causing a scene. Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyi suddenly appeared, presenting a video as evidence that showed the overweight woman setting up the situation to frame others. He demanded an apology from her and a written promise. Realizing she had no choice, Chu Lingling reluctantly apologized. Zhu Jinhao stepped forward and pushed Chu Lingling down, avenging the slight push from earlier. Afterward, she left with Lin Qingyi and Xiao Jia.
Zhu Jinhao speculated that, given the recent incident, Chu Lingling wouldn't end things so easily, so she brought out a trick of her own. Lin Qingyi was dressed formally today, and Xiao Jia smartly left, leaving Zhu Jinhao alone with Lin Qingyi. Shen Jinchuan came to find Zhu Jinhao, but he arrived a moment too late – Zhu Jinhao had already disappeared.
Lin Qingyi took Zhu Jinhao to eat an expensive steak, costing hundreds of yuan per serving. Zhu Jinhao was pained by the price but enjoyed the delicious steak nonetheless. She brought out the wine she had brought along and drank one glass after another until she couldn't handle it anymore. Lin Qingyi accompanied the tipsy Zhu Jinhao back home, and they laughed and chatted all the way. Finally, Lin Qingyi carried Zhu Jinhao on his back into the house. While Zhu Jinhao was showering, she accidentally twisted her foot. Lin Qingyi quickly covered his eyes, intending to help her out of the shower. However, Zhu Jinhao pulled down Lin Qingyi's tie and took the initiative to kiss him.
Episode 11 Recap
As soon as Xiao Jia arrived at the store, she noticed that something was going on between Zhu Jinhao and Lin Qingyi. Their eyes kept meeting and quickly looking away, fueling Xiao Jia's curiosity. Lin Qingyi felt a bit embarrassed under Xiao Jia's scrutiny, so he suddenly paid their salaries to console them for not receiving the remaining payment yet. Xiao Jia knew she benefited from Zhu Jinhao's situation this time, so she couldn't help but put her arm around Zhu Jinhao's shoulder and thanked her warmly.
Knowing that Zhu Jinhao had twisted her foot last night, Lin Qingyi discreetly applied medicine to her while Xiao Jia wasn't paying attention. Following Lin Qingyi's reminder, Zhu Jinhao recalled the kiss from last night and couldn't help but feel a bit bashful. She didn't want to admit that she remembered, so she quickly escaped from the counter to do some work. At that moment, Shen Jinchuan arrived.
Xiao Jia's expression soured at the sight of Shen Jinchuan. She wanted to kick him out, but when Shen Jinchuan saw Zhu Jinhao, he went up and hugged her. This caught Zhu Jinhao off guard, and Lin Qingyi hurried over to protect her. Upon hearing Shen Jinchuan claim to know her, Zhu Jinhao inquired about her background. However, Shen Jinchuan, in pursuit of Zhu Jinhao, chose not to reveal her true identity. Instead, he only brought up the events of the previous night's party. Seeing Shen Jinchuan's persistent behavior, Lin Qingyi, who had no intention of doing business with him, reluctantly made him a cup of specially prepared coffee. Shen Jinchuan took a sip and immediately spat it out.
Episode 12 Recap
Upon learning about the situation on Oman Island, Zhu Anran immediately ordered action against the island. Not only did he deliberately send a group of people to investigate the safety concerns in the catering industry, but he also arranged for a batch of media related to the Zhu family to visit Oman Island for vacation. The intention was to prove that success wasn't solely attributed to Zhu Jinhao's accommodating policies.
Zhu Jinhao walked along the streets of Oman Island. Night had already fallen. Suddenly, two menacing young men intercepted her. They not only harassed Zhu Jinhao but also insisted that she join them for some fun. Zhu Jinhao claimed that her boyfriend was coming to pick her up, attempting to scare them away. However, the two men weren't deterred; they became even more brazen. Fortunately, Shen Jinchuan happened to pass by and bravely drove them away, saving Zhu Jinhao.
With the sudden appearance of these individuals on Oman Island, Zhu Jinhao grew suspicious. After all, she had spent some time on the island and knew the locals to be simple, hospitable, and friendly. Zhu Jinhao proactively invited Shen Jinchuan for coffee. He remembered the dark coffee from the other day and requested that Zhu Jinhao make it herself. She readily agreed, but just as they arrived at the coffee shop, they saw someone collapsing after drinking coffee. They promptly sent the person to the hospital. The man had been sent to cause trouble, and in order to attract public attention, he had secretly recorded a video of himself collapsing and posted it online. Although the man had consumed alcohol before drinking coffee, the incident had already escalated, tarnishing Oman Island's reputation with negative news.
Episode 13 Recap
Zhu Jinhao learned that the reporters had covered the coffee shop incident. Currently, public opinion about Aman Island is very negative. She couldn't help but feel angry and anxious. She regretted not paying the money earlier; otherwise, the situation wouldn't be like this now. Director Zhen mentioned the recent consecutive security incidents on the island, believing that someone was deliberately targeting Aman Island, and the prime suspect was the Zhu Group.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jinhao immediately decided to use a cunning plan to make Director Zhen yield to the Zhu Group while secretly recording a video to post online. Zhu Anran went to Aman Island to meet with Director Zhen. Director Zhen directly asked if Zhu Anran was responsible for the two recent food poisoning cases on the island. Zhu Anran avoided answering and urged Director Zhen to sign the contract for the benefit of everyone. Director Zhen immediately knelt down and played the sympathy card, saying that the island's residents had been living here for hundreds of years, and leaving would leave them with no place to go. He begged Zhu Anran to spare them.
Just as Zhu Jinhao had recorded up to this point, she was suddenly dragged away by Shen Jinchuan, who appeared out of nowhere. To prevent Zhu Jinhao from making any noise, Shen Jinchuan covered her mouth and pulled her into a nearby room. Zhu Anran received a call and realized that something was wrong, so she tried to catch the person who was secretly filming.
Zhu Anran couldn't catch the person and had to return reluctantly. It was only when she saw the video online that she learned Zhu Jinhao was alive. Shen Jinchuan once again helped Zhu Jinhao, using this as an opportunity to request Zhu Jinhao to have a meal with him, which made Lin Qingyi suspicious when he found out.
Episode 14 Recap
Lin Qingyi knew that Zhu Jinhao intended to regain her memory. Worried that she might leave him, he felt downcast and decided to drink alone. When Zhu Jinhao saw this, she came to keep him company. Concerned about her limited alcohol tolerance, Lin Qingyi offered her a non-alcoholic beverage. As Lin Qingyi drank more, he became more talkative and reminisced about his childhood when he grew up with his grandfather. He mentioned a year when there was a severe typhoon, and the harvest was poor, so he allowed his grandfather to waive the rent. Zhu Jinhao thought Lin Qingyi had done a great job and rewarded him with a kiss. Lin Qingyi, seeing Zhu Jinhao like this, couldn't help but hold her tightly.
One day, Zhu Anran barged into the coffee shop and asked Lin Qingyi about the conditions for him to move out. Zhu Anran had initially assumed that the coffee shop was rented, but when she found out that Lin Qingyi was actually the owner of 80% of the properties on the island, she couldn't hide her excitement. However, Zhu Anran's arrogant attitude didn't get her the desired results, as Lin Qingyi bluntly kicked her out of the coffee shop.
Zhu Jinhao had been watching the scene with interest, which prompted Lin Qingyi to playfully approach her. He went behind the bar, got close to Zhu Jinhao, and asked her what she was looking at. Zhu Jinhao wasn't used to this kind of intimacy and quickly turned around, pretending to be busy with work to avoid Lin Qingyi's gaze. Lin Qingyi realized that Zhu Jinhao was avoiding him and couldn't help but smile, joining in to help with the cleanup. Zhu Anran had someone secretly take photos of Zhu Jinhao and saw intimate pictures of her and Lin Qingyi, thinking that Zhu Jinhao had truly benefited from her misfortune.
Episode 15 Recap
In order to celebrate her first paycheck, Zhu Jinhao specially bought a beautiful little dress for Xiao Jia. This deeply moved Xiao Jia, who believed that besides her mother and Lin Qingyi, Zhu Jinhao was the kindest person to her. Zhu Jinhao also prepared a gift for Lin Qingyi, a handmade coffee bean bracelet that she put on him while he was taking a nap. Just as Zhu Jinhao was about to leave, she was stopped by Lin Qingyi. Lin Qingyi clearly liked the bracelet but was reluctant to praise it. This made Zhu Jinhao so angry that she wanted to take the bracelet back. Lin Qingyi pulled Zhu Jinhao into his arms, and just as they were about to kiss, Zhu Anran arrived.
Lin Qingyi assigned Zhu Jinhao to clean upstairs and faced Zhu Anran's request to sign the agreement once again, choosing to refuse once more. Zhu Anran revealed Zhu Jinhao's true identity, thinking that as long as Zhu Jinhao regained her memory, she would definitely leave Lin Qingyi. At that time, Zhu Anran believed she would have the means to deal with Lin Qingyi.
At night, as Lin Qingyi looked at the bracelet that Zhu Jinhao had left with him, he finally made up his mind to find Zhu Jinhao. Just as they met, a small truck rushed towards Zhu Jinhao. Without hesitation, Lin Qingyi pushed Zhu Jinhao away, but she still fell to the ground, and Lin Qingyi was injured, with blood flowing from his head. Lin Qingyi wanted to save Zhu Jinhao but collapsed next to her, powerless. When Zhu Jinhao woke up, she had regained her memory. She had no memory of who Xia Tian was, and when she saw Lin Qingyi, she couldn't recognize him at all.
Episode 16 Recap
Zhu Jinhao regained her previous memories but forgot about her past with Xia Tian. Lin Qingyi felt very disappointed. However, as he was the largest property owner on Aman Island, he knew that Zhu Jinhao would definitely come to find him.
Zhu Jinhao not only survived but also returned to the company. The board members discussed it, and when they realized that Zhu Jinhao had once helped Aman Island against them, they were not pleased. Zhu Jinhao didn't make any excuses and asked the shareholders to give her a week. She was confident that she could successfully promote the Aman Island project. This statement made Zhu Anran very unhappy, but she had no choice. After all, she had tried several times to kill Zhu Jinhao without success.
Shen Jinchuan continued to court Zhu Jinhao as before, and he noticed that Zhu Jinhao had completely forgotten about Lin Qingyi. He was secretly delighted, feeling that he had another chance to pursue Zhu Jinhao. So, he proactively offered to pick Zhu Jinhao up for work. Zhu Jinhao approached Director Zhen to request a meeting with Lin Qingyi. Director Zhen found this strange since they were living together, and he couldn't understand why they needed to go through him. However, without dwelling on it too much, he directly connected Zhu Jinhao with Lin Qingyi via phone for them to discuss. Zhu Jinhao made a sincere effort, hoping Lin Qingyi would agree to the demolition plan. But Lin Qingyi disagreed. Zhu Jinhao followed Lin Qingyi to the beach and accidentally sprained her foot. When Lin Qingyi heard her cry of pain, he couldn't bear to ignore it and carried Zhu Jinhao back home. He later realized that Zhu Jinhao had been pretending, but he chose not to expose her lie.
Episode 17 Recap
Zhu Jinhao was enjoying the noodles that Lin Qingyi had personally prepared for her. She asked Lin Qingyi why he refused to accept the development of Aman Island. Lin Qingyi didn't want to answer that question, so Zhu Jinhao continued talking to herself. She mentioned that Lin Qingyi was doing it because of his grandfather's wishes and even claimed that she had seen the diary she had written when she lived here before. While Zhu Jinhao was writing in her diary, Lin Qingyi noticed what she was doing and sneaked up behind her, wanting to see her diary. To regain her diary, Zhu Jinhao jumped up and hung onto Lin Qingyi, knocking him onto the bed. The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous, and Zhu Jinhao hurriedly kicked Lin Qingyi out of her room.
When Lin Qingyi heard Zhu Jinhao suggest that the island's fishermen might want the money to leave and find better accommodations, he felt she was really not the Xia Tian who used to live there. Therefore, he didn't want to discuss it further with Zhu Jinhao.
Zhu Jinhao returned empty-handed and was taunted by Shen Jinchuan, as he had never expected her to resort to such tactics. He found it difficult to accept that Zhu Jinhao, with her abilities, needed to use her charm. Fortunately, Lin Qingyi was not swayed by this. Zhu Jinhao grew impatient with Shen Jinchuan's words and asked him to leave when they reached her doorstep. However, she was ambushed by her own younger sister, Zhu Anran. To her surprise, she was attacked by her sister. Lin Qingyi received a threatening call and learned that Zhu Jinhao was in trouble, so he rushed to her rescue.
Episode 18 (Ending) Recap
In order to save Zhu Jinhao, Lin Qingyi signed the contract given by Zhu Anran and intentionally tossed it to the other side. When he saw Zhu Anran go to pick up the contract, he quickly shielded Zhu Jinhao. Shen Jinchuan and Xiao Jia arrived and subdued Zhu Anran, who was soon taken away by the police.
Zhu Jinhao wanted to preserve a part of Aman Island, but it meant needing more money, which the group currently lacked. Shen Jinchuan understood Zhu Jinhao's dilemma and approached her, offering to use his own money to convince her to marry him. However, Zhu Jinhao bluntly told him to get lost.
Feeling frustrated, Zhu Jinhao went to Lin Qingyi's house to have a drink. When Lin Qingyi saw her in this state, he couldn't help but remark that she was the ingrate he had rescued. He held Zhu Jinhao and intended for her to get a good night's sleep but was surprised when Zhu Jinhao actively climbed onto his neck, wanting him to stay. Worried that Zhu Jinhao didn't know what she was doing, Lin Qingyi asked her who he was. When Zhu Jinhao recognized him as Lin Qingyi, he decided to respond to her affection, making it impossible for her to leave. The next day, Lin Qingyi found that Zhu Jinhao had already left, feeling somewhat disheartened. But when he saw the note left by Zhu Jinhao, he quickly rushed out. Zhu Jinhao and Shen Jinchuan were choosing wedding attire. When Xiao Jia saw this, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She tried calling Lin Qingyi but got no answer, which made her even more worried. Lin Qingyi learned that Zhu Jinhao was willing to sacrifice herself to save Aman Island, so he took her away from the wedding scene and asked her to become his wife. Since Lin Qingyi was a wealthy man himself, Aman Island wouldn't be at risk due to a lack of funds.
