My Wife Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Shen An'an handed the signed divorce agreement to her husband Ren Yiming. The two of them could never go back to the way things were. The once beautiful marriage would fade with the mundane aspects of life. Remembering the past happiness felt like it happened just yesterday. Today, Ren Yiming got promoted, and his wife Shen An'an sent him to work early. At the same time, Ren Fei, Shen An'an's sister, also sent her husband Wen Hao to work. Wen Hao, the brother-in-law, complained to his brother about why his sister's temper changed so much before and after marriage. The elder brother said it was because she changed.
All the colleagues at the company were looking forward to Chen Shanhai, the chairman and general manager of Yunhai Apparel, announcing Ren Yiming's promotion. However, they didn't expect another manager, Liang Yuan, to be parachuted in and be on an equal footing with Ren Yiming. Ren Yiming concealed his unhappiness and greeted her politely. Ren Fei, the younger sister-in-law, complained to her sister Shen An'an about her mother-in-law's urging to have children, and she complained about her mother-in-law in various ways. When she saw the boss coming to inspect, she quickly hung up the phone. Liang Yuan made intimate gestures towards Chen Shanhai in the elevator, indicating that she had never lost before.
Liang Yuan hadn't seen Ren Yiming for many years. He still loved drinking coffee with milk, just like before. Her arrival this time was deliberately aimed at Ren Yiming, to see how long he could remain happy. Shen An'an was a housewife and a host, teaching daily life skills to the audience. Liang Yuan, as the newly appointed leader, came in with a bang. She announced that as long as everyone completed the assigned tasks, there would be a 30% salary increase and bonuses for all. This measure instantly caused great excitement among everyone. The brother-in-law handed over a turtle to Ren Yiming, the elder brother, and said he had social engagements tonight and wouldn't be coming home for dinner. Ren Fei advised her sister Shen An'an not to give her brother too much freedom at home. In case he becomes indulgent in the future, you'll regret it. Shen An'an and Ren Fei had completely opposite approaches in training their husbands. One was strict while the other focused on being a good wife and mother. Ren Yiming's serious attitude towards work earned the favor of a female model. She approached him in front of everyone, but after Ren Yiming politely declined, she persisted. Liang Yuan walked over and helped Ren Yiming out of the situation.
In the evening, during the company dinner, Liang Yuan pretended to be drunk and fell on Ren Yiming. Ren Yiming learned that she was still using her old phone number, so he took the opportunity to call a designated driver for her. Seeing that her beauty plan failed, Liang Yuan left. Ren Yiming received a call from his younger sister, asking about Wen Hao's whereabouts, but his older brother covered for his unfaithful brother-in-law. Finally, Ren Fei decided to go find him herself. At that time, Wen Hao was bragging at a bar, displaying his machoism in front of everyone, teaching them how to avoid their wives' inquiries. Little did he know that his wife was behind him. She grabbed his ear and dragged him out of the bar. The two of them argued, and Ren Fei left in tears.
Sister-in-law Shen An'an comforted her younger sister Ren Fei at home, saying that what they saw with their own eyes might not necessarily be the truth. Besides, he just went to the bar for a drink, and the lipstick mark on his face didn't mean anything. Moreover, he was probably hiding it from you because he was afraid you wouldn't agree to him going out to the bar. Listening to her sister-in-law's words, Ren Fei realized that she had been too impulsive.
Shen An'an blamed her husband Ren Yiming, saying that brothers don't help their brother-in-law deceive their own sisters. You need to apologize to Xiaofei. Ren Yiming told his wife that the promotion didn't work out this time. The leadership hired a high-ranking official from outside, and they probably had to choose between the two of us. Shen An'an didn't blame her husband for it. Instead, she comforted him and said that good things take time and they should work even harder.
Ren Fei notified Wen Hao that they must go to his brother's house tonight to resolve what happened at the bar. Ren Yiming told Wen Hao that from now on, they should be honest with each other. If you didn't deceive her by taking her to the bar this time, nothing would have happened.
Shi Yue returned to the country and went straight to Shen An'an's house. Coincidentally, she saw Wen Hao holding flowers and coming to apologize to his elder brother's wife. Wen Hao invited her inside when he saw her at the door, and while they were talking, they were misunderstood by Ren Fei. No matter how they explained, Ren Fei didn't believe them. She even threw the flowers at Shi Yue, but after Shen An'an came back, she recognized the grown-up Shi Yue.
Episode 2 Recap
Shen An'an's neighbor, Shi Yue, suddenly came to Shen An'an's house without any knowledge. Ren Fei mistook her for a love rival and started a fight with her. After learning the truth later, although the conflict subsided, there was still a hint of hostility in Ren Fei and Shi Yue's eyes. Shen An'an, caught off guard by her unexpected younger sister's arrival, mentioned that Shi Yue was the child from the neighbor's house when they were young, but they lost contact after she moved abroad. Shi Yue was temporarily staying at Shen An'an's house, and Ren Fei and Wen Hao made sincere efforts to earn Ren Fei's forgiveness.
Shi Yue had an unhappy time in the United States because her father remarried. Initially, the woman intentionally treated her well to marry into the family, but after marriage, things changed, so she left that home. Every morning, Ren Yiming would wear the suit already ironed by Shen An'an and head to work. One day, as he was preparing to leave for work, he realized that some documents were left in the study. Out of habit, he went to retrieve them but forgot that Shi Yue was staying in there. He opened the door without thinking and saw Shi Yue's fair skin. He was stunned, and when Shi Yue turned around, he hastily closed the door and went downstairs in a fluster, asking his daughter Xinyi to fetch the documents from the study.
Shi Yue was brought up with Western culture and had a more open mindset. On this day, she woke up and went out wearing shorts, which made Shen An'an and Ren Yiming extremely embarrassed. Shen An'an's face showed signs of displeasure, and she secretly glanced at her husband. Ren Fei dragged her sister-in-law to her brother's company's press conference. Ren Yiming was very happy about his wife's arrival, but Liang Yuan was unhappy. Taking the opportunity of going on stage together with Ren Yiming, she deliberately placed her hand on his, which made Shen An'an instantly heartbroken. When faced with the media's questions, Liang Yuan, in order to belittle Shen An'an's appearance, claimed that Ren Yiming's family also supported the new woman, referring to herself being present. At this moment, the media shifted their focus to Shen An'an, mocking her appearance. However, Ren Yiming didn't feel ashamed at all; instead, he told the media that if his wife wore the same clothes as the models on stage, she would be no less beautiful. She has always been my pride, as she gave up her career for the family. I love her very much.
Shen An'an purposely bought a conservative nightgown for Shi Yue and mentioned that there are children in the house, so she should be mindful. Shi Yue came back to China this time because she was being harassed by a man. Ren Yiming looked at the press release, asking Liang Yuan to delete the photo of his wife. Seeing his ex-boyfriend protecting his wife like this, Liang Yuan couldn't help but feel jealous. While Ren Yiming was changing clothes at home, Shi Yue came to the room holding coffee she made herself. Ren Yiming hurriedly put on his clothes upon seeing her. Ren Yiming deliberately bought a pair of leather shoes for his wife, and Shi Yue loved them and even danced while wearing them.
Shi Yue wanted to work, and Ren Yiming promised to help keep an eye out for job opportunities at the company. In the meantime, Ren Yiming came into contact with a woman who was completely different from his wife—someone young, lively, and lovely. Slowly, his feelings started to change, but he was oblivious to it. Shen An'an sensed that something was off between Liang Yuan and Ren Yiming, but when she asked Ren Yiming about it, he denied it, so she stopped probing. Shen An'an saw her husband suddenly gift her red shoes and mentioned changing her style in the future. She loved the gift so much that she wanted to treasure it. It was interesting to see how the two women treated the same gift differently—one couldn't wait to wear it and dance, while the other wanted to preserve it. Ren Yiming was drinking alone in a restaurant when Shi Yue came downstairs and deliberately took the glass from his hand to take a sip. Before leaving, she even intentionally touched his hand and said she would take care of the glass. When Ren Yiming returned to the room, he remembered the first time he met Shen An'an at a bar. She was sitting alone in a corner, pure and lovely. That's how they met. The next day, as Ren Yiming left for work, he and Shen An'an displayed their affection, while Shi Yue stood on the balcony, glaring at everything with resentment.
Shi Yue saw the rice ball that Shen An'an made for her and thought of all the ways Ren Yiming treated Shen An'an well, from giving gifts to bidding farewell with a kiss. Instantly, she felt jealous and asked Shen An'an, "If I want to stay here permanently, would you agree?"
Episode 3 Recap
Shi Yue told Shen An'an about her tragic experience and asked if she could stay there permanently. Shen An'an looked troubled, and Shi Yue pleaded with her, saying she could find a job, pay for utilities, and begged Shen An'an not to kick her out. Shen An'an comforted her and said she could stay if she needed to, but she also encouraged her to build her own family.
Shen An'an went to Ren Fei's workplace and told her about Shi Yue wanting to stay permanently. Ren Fei strongly disagreed with letting Shi Yue stay and advised Shen An'an to be cautious, as Shi Yue might not be as innocent as she appeared after staying abroad for so long. Shen An'an didn't think much of it, but Ren Fei persuaded her to consider going out to work.
While they were chatting, a customer came to look at cars, and Lin Yao stood in front of the car for a long time. Ren Fei ignored him and attended to another customer, which made Lin Yao very unhappy. Shen An'an noticed Lin Yao and hurriedly called Ren Fei, but since Ren Fei couldn't leave at that moment, she asked Shen An'an to attend to him instead. Helpless, Shen An'an showed Lin Yao several car models and expressed her opinions based on her experience reading car magazines, which gained Lin Yao's approval. He immediately proposed to pay the full amount, and Ren Fei was excited to hear about it. This was something that many salespeople found difficult to achieve. Ren Fei then helped Lin Yao with the paperwork, and Lin Yao mistakenly assumed that Shen An'an was a new salesperson and signed her name on the contract.
Ren Yiming posed for a magazine cover for company promotion, and his colleagues praised him when they saw it. Liang Yuan, feeling jealous as she saw everyone surrounding Ren Yiming, claimed that she had been on the cover many times and it was no big deal. After saying that, she left. At lunchtime, Liang Yuan asked Ren Yiming to go out for a meal to discuss work matters. Liang Yuan took Ren Yiming to the place where they used to eat together. When Ren Yiming went to the restroom, Liang Yuan answered a call from Shen An'an to Ren Yiming.
When Shen An'an returned home, she couldn't find Shi Yue but discovered that her bedroom door was open. It turned out that Shi Yue was lying on Shen An'an's bed when she came back. Shi Yue immediately escaped from the balcony upon hearing Shen An'an's voice and pretended to return from jogging outside. Shen An'an, unaware of Shi Yue's actions, went out to buy some pastries for Ren Xinyi but realized she had forgotten her wallet and turned back. When she returned home, she found Shi Yue in her bedroom, wearing headphones and dancing in the shoes Ren Yiming had bought for her. Seeing something she cared about being taken away, Shen An'an became very angry. She told Shi Yue that it was inappropriate and didn't fit in, but Shi Yue couldn't understand and erupted in anger, accusing Shen An'an of being like everyone else who refused to accept her. In a fit of anger, Shi Yue ran out of the house, thinking about taking away everything Shen An'an cared about.
Ren Yiming came home from work and saw Shi Yue sitting outside the house, crying alone. He comforted her, saying they were one family, and urged her to apologize to Shen An'an and go home. Just as Ren Yiming was about to leave, Shi Yue rushed up and hugged him. That night, Shi Yue apologized to Shen An'an, and Shen An'an, soft-hearted, forgave her. Shen An'an wanted to ask Ren Yiming about Liang Yuan answering his phone earlier, but he was already too tired and fell asleep. Shen An'an still believed in her husband but grew anxious when she smelled perfume on his clothes while sorting his laundry. The company arranged for Ren Yiming and Liang Yuan to go on a business trip, which made Shen An'an feel uneasy.
Liang Yuan, feeling inferior after losing to Ren Yiming at the meeting, told Chen Shanhai that she wanted to hire someone. When Ren Yiming saw the job posting, he took a picture of it and sent it to Shi Yue. Shen An'an was at home making pastries when she suddenly received a distress call from Ren Fei. Ren Fei had missed processing the paperwork for Lin Yao's car purchase, and now he couldn't pick up the car. Shen An'an panicked and, wearing the red shoes Ren Yiming had given her, took the pastries she made and went to the sales store to apologize to him.
Episode 4 Recap
When Shen An'an arrived at the car dealership, Lin Yao had been waiting there for a long time. Lin Yao knew that Shen An'an wasn't responsible for this matter and promised that if she could testify, he would only complain about Ren Fei. At this moment, Lin Yao suddenly had a stomachache. Shen An'an realized that he had drunk too much coffee on an empty stomach, so she pressed the acupoints on his arm to help relieve the pain. As Lin Yao watched Shen An'an attentively helping him alleviate the pain, he couldn't help but feel moved. Lin Yao relaxed and forgave Ren Fei for this mistake, and he also casually criticized Shen An'an for her casual attire, unaware that she wasn't even an employee there. With the matter resolved, Shen An'an instructed Ren Fei to reprint the contract and take Lin Yao for another test drive. Ren Fei was very grateful after hearing this.
Shen An'an left the sales store with forty leek dumplings packed and brought them to Ren Yiming's company to share with her colleagues. Chen Shanhai met Shen An'an downstairs and personally helped her carry the food. They arrived together at Ren Yiming's office and found Liang Yuan sitting next to him discussing work. Shen An'an left the leek dumplings and then left.
Liang Yuan went out for a meeting and met Shen An'an on the way. Shen An'an asked for a ride as there were no taxis nearby. In the car, Liang Yuan deliberately told Shen An'an that the company planned to arrange for her and Ren Yiming to go on a business trip together. Liang Yuan spoke lightly, but Shen An'an couldn't help feeling uneasy. Ren Fei, after hearing from Wen Hao that Liang Yuan and Ren Yiming were getting close, warned Shen An'an to be cautious of Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan invited Ren Yiming to have a meal under the pretext of work. Ren Yiming asked who else would be going on the business trip with them, and Liang Yuan jokingly said it would only be the two of them. If they wanted another person, they would have to use the budget from Ren Yiming's team. Only then did Ren Yiming compromise. Before leaving, Ren Yiming asked Liang Yuan to take care of his wife's younger sister, Shi Yue, during her interview the next day. Liang Yuan agreed, but she couldn't help but be curious about what kind of person Shen An'an was to make the flirtatious Ren Yiming settle down.
Shen An'an returned home and absent-mindedly cooked. When Liang Yuan helped Shen An'an fasten her seatbelt, Shen An'an noticed a different perfume scent on Liang Yuan. Shi Yue suddenly appeared and interrupted Shen An'an's speculation. During their conversation, Shen An'an learned that her husband had exchanged contact information with Shi Yue and helped her arrange a job interview, which was scheduled for the next day. In the evening, Shen An'an asked Ren Yiming about the job situation with Shi Yue. Ren Yiming told Shen An'an that he arranged for Shi Yue to join Liang Yuan's team because he was worried about gossip and assured her not to worry.
The next day, Shi Yue dressed up and wore professional attire. Ren Yiming urged her to hurry, as she would be late for work otherwise. Shi Yue kept changing her shoes in front of the mirror, claiming that she didn't have suitable ones, but time was running out. Ren Yiming told her to find a pair in Shen An'an's shoe cabinet. Falling into the trap, Shi Yue hurriedly ran to Shen An'an's bedroom and found the pair of red shoes to wear. After seeing off Ren Xinyi to the school bus, Shen An'an noticed Shi Yue wearing her shoes. Ren Yiming claimed that he had allowed her to wear them and advised Shen An'an not to take it to heart. Shen An'an returned to her bedroom and saw the shoebox in disarray, feeling disappointed. In the car, Shi Yue hurriedly carried interview materials, and Ren Yiming told her to relax. Shi Yue expressed her gratitude to Ren Yiming for his help.
During Shi Yue's interview, Liang Yuan saw the red shoes she was wearing and couldn't help but mock her. She sarcastically commented that even if they were sisters, it was not appropriate for them to wear the same shoes.
Shen An'an went to talk to Ren Fei but encountered Lin Yao, who came to deliver documents. Ren Fei accidentally misspelled Lin Yao's name and hurriedly went to fix the documents. Meanwhile, Shen An'an was assigned to accompany Lin Yao for a test drive. Lin Yao thought the car's handling was good and then asked Shen An'an about her previous job. Shen An'an said she used to be a sales manager before getting married and became a housewife afterward. Lin Yao pointed to his watch, indicating that he would only give Ren Fei ten minutes, and if she didn't show up, he wouldn't buy the car. Shen An'an thought he was too casual, but Lin Yao considered it his bottom line. He stated that if she was truly important to him, Ren Fei wouldn't have made such a mistake.
After finishing the interview, Shi Yue angrily threw away the ill-fitting shoes she was wearing. She ran into Chen Shanhai, who found her amusing. Shi Yue claimed that the reason her interview wasn't successful was due to a lack of work experience, but she didn't accept it. She argued that if that were the case, college graduates would all be jobless. Chen Shanhai thought Shi Yue had a point and believed she would be a good assistant, so he asked Liang Yuan to keep her. However, Liang Yuan was very unhappy about it. She called Ren Yiming and said she would give Shi Yue a one-week probationary period, and if she wasn't capable, the company wouldn't keep her. When Shi Yue heard this news, she used her injured foot as an excuse and threw herself onto Ren Yiming, leaving him unable to move in astonishment.
Ren Fei drove Shen An'an to Xinyi's school, where they were celebrating the school's anniversary. The homeroom teacher asked parents to contribute some snacks, and the parents highly recommended Shen An'an, saying that her snacks were delicious. Shen An'an took on the task willingly. The family of three had originally planned to eat out, but Ren Yiming forgot about it while helping Shi Yue familiarize herself with the business. Shen An'an called Ren Yiming, but he was busy looking for documents and didn't notice the call. Shi Yue saw his missed call and intentionally covered the phone with files.
Episode 5 Recap
Shen An'an kept calling Ren Yiming but couldn't get through. She was waiting with Xinyi at the kindergarten. Shen An'an then called Wen Hao and learned that Ren Yiming had already left the company. Wen Hao asked other colleagues about Ren Yiming's whereabouts, but they were also unclear and felt that there was a strange understanding between Liang Yuan and Ren Yiming.
To appease Xinyi's mood, Shen An'an took her out for ice cream. At mealtime, Ren Yiming suddenly remembered the promise to have dinner with Shen An'an and Xinyi. He searched for his phone and found many missed calls. He immediately called Shen An'an back, making an excuse that he still had work to do and it was already too late to go now, asking his wife to take Xinyi for the meal. Upon hearing Ren Yiming say he was at the company, Shen An'an began to doubt, thinking about what Wen Hao had just told her.
After Ren Yiming explained to Shen An'an, he continued discussing business with Shi Yue. At mealtime, Ren Yiming wanted to order some dishes for Shi Yue, but she said she wanted something special, as she didn't want to eat Shen An'an's dishes all the time. This reminded Ren Yiming of what Liang Yuan had said, and he contemplated it for a long time.
In the evening, Ren Yiming drove Shi Yue home. Shi Yue asked him to wait five minutes before going back to avoid raising suspicion from Shen An'an. As she left, she happily said goodnight. When Shi Yue returned home, she casually threw her red shoes on the floor and pretended to be happy as she hugged Shen An'an, claiming she was very nervous during her job interview and that Liang Yuan had been cold to her. Shen An'an smelled perfume on Shi Yue and noticed it was the same scent as the one on the clothes Ren Yiming changed earlier. Later, when Ren Yiming returned home, both of them lied to Shen An'an without saying a word. While Ren Yiming was taking a shower, Shen An'an discovered a thank-you message from Shi Yue to Ren Yiming, realizing that he had secretly done a lot for Shi Yue.
Upon reading the message, Shen An'an felt increasingly uneasy. She went downstairs to the yard to relax and then called her mother. Shen An'an thought that Shi Yue had found a job by now and wanted to discuss with her mother about asking Shi Yue to move out. Her mother scolded her for not knowing how to take care of her younger sister and suggested waiting until Shi Yue's job was stable before letting her move out. Just then, Ren Yiming suddenly appeared next to Shen An'an, thinking she was angry at him for breaking the appointment. He hugged Shen An'an and explained that he truly had work matters to attend to that day. Shi Yue, watching them affectionately from the balcony, got angry and went back to her room, applying lipstick on her lips, even drawing the corners, as her plotting was about to begin.
In the morning, Ren Yiming exercised near the house while Shi Yue carefully observed him, calculating the time when he would finish exercising. She then started dancing in the garden, captivating Ren Yiming's attention. He became so distracted that he even accidentally cut himself while shaving. After breakfast, Ren Yiming drove Shi Yue to work. When leaving, Shi Yue affectionately hugged Shen An'an and promised to take care of Ren Yiming, ensuring that no troublesome people would get close to him. Shen An'an openly expressed that she didn't need her care. Shi Yue understood the implication in Shen An'an's words and responded with a simple smile before running off.
Liang Yuan saw Ren Yiming and Shi Yue arrive at the company together, behaving intimately, which made her jealous. Liang Yuan instructed her subordinates to give Shi Yue some documents to organize and submit to her by tomorrow. Shi Yue, seeing the pile of documents in front of her, became impatient. Just then, Chen Shanhai asked someone to call Shi Yue to his office, effectively resolving her situation. Ren Yiming secretly monitored Shi Yue's work but encountered Chen Shanhai. Ren Yiming explained that he was taking care of his sister, and Chen Shanhai sensed his intentions. He told Ren Yiming that some sisters have an extraordinary relationship with their brothers and expressed his admiration for Shi Yue.
During lunchtime, Liang Yuan specifically asked Ren Yiming to have lunch together. Shi Yue saw Ren Yiming leaving with others and became jealous. She then got close with other male colleagues. When Ren Yiming returned, he noticed that Shi Yue was getting friendly with other male colleagues and intentionally ignored him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Shen An'an took her red shoes for repair and found that both the inside and outside of the shoes were dirty. She had to replace the entire insole, feeling quite helpless, but she agreed to the current repair method. Ren Fei called Shen An'an and inquired about the reason for letting Shi Yue work at Yunhai. This clearly gave her an opportunity to interact with Ren Yiming and Wen Hao. Shen An'an thought it would help Shi Yue achieve financial independence, and then she would be able to move out.
Lin Yao returned home to visit his mother. His mother heard that her usually picky son quickly decided on a car and was curious about the girl who convinced Lin Yao to buy it. Shen An'an was discovered by her superiors for handling the car purchase instead of Ren Fei. Ren Fei hurriedly explained that it was written by a customer named Lin Yao, who is very picky, and coincidentally, Lin Yao overheard it while coming to pick up the manager of the car dealership. Ren Fei called Shen An'an to inform her that she might be suspended. Shen An'an hurriedly went to explain to Lin Yao, who eventually agreed to let Ren Fei stay, on the condition that Shen An'an could stay in the car dealership as well. Shen An'an felt somewhat conflicted because there were still many household chores to take care of at home.
Episode 6 Recap
After Shen An'an helped Ren Fei intercede with Lin Yao, Ren Fei grew more and more admiring of Shen An'an. Shen An'an herself also deeply missed her previous sales job and wanted to try working at a car dealership. Ren Fei told Shen An'an about her previous task to investigate a perfume, which is currently only sold in New York and is called "Forbidden Fruit." It turns out that Shi Yue is the only one using this perfume, and Ren Fei started to make connections and suddenly felt that something was not right.
When Ren Fei returned home, she got angry at Wen Hao. Shi Yue had worn Shen An'an's shoes without her permission and even ruined them. Those shoes held special meaning to Shen An'an. Ren Fei warned Wen Hao not to give his shoes to other women, or else she would throw him and the shoes away. Wen Hao, being obedient to his strict wife, naturally agreed.
After work, Ren Yiming asked Shi Yue to go home together, but Shi Yue said she already had a colleague who would give her a ride. While they were talking, Shi Yue intentionally pressed the wrong key and accidentally deleted the completed form. On the way home, Ren Yiming kept thinking about Shi Yue's interactions with her male colleagues today, and even Chen Shanhai seemed interested in her, which made him feel uncomfortable. When he arrived home, he impatiently replied to Shen An'an's message.
In the evening, a colleague named Liu Weide drove Shi Yue home, and Ren Yiming paid close attention to the activity downstairs. He watched as Shi Yue and her colleague interacted and then went to sit in the study. When Shi Yue returned to her room, she saw Ren Yiming angrily questioning her. She said she had no right to stop him from being with other people and that all she did was make him understand her feelings. Ren Yiming was surprised to hear that Shi Yue wanted to confess her feelings, and just as he was about to push past Shi Yue and leave, he happened to run into Shen An'an going upstairs. Shi Yue used work as an excuse to defend Ren Yiming, who also claimed that he had finished his work. Shen An'an suggested that Ren Yiming move his desk to the bedroom so he wouldn't have to go to the study. Ren Yiming's mind was filled with Shi Yue's words, leaving Shen An'an to make the decision herself.
Early the next morning, Shi Yue deliberately mentioned to Ren Xinyi that eating the same food every day would become boring. Ren Yiming agreed, but Ren Xinyi loudly declared that she would never get tired of eating the dumplings made by their mother. During work, Liu Weide personally drove Shi Yue to the office, and Ren Yiming kept his eyes on their interaction. He didn't even hear when Shen An'an called him. Ren Yiming was not focused on his work, and he even suggested to Liang Yuan that someone else should take care of Shi Yue.
During a company meeting, Chen Shanhai asked Shi Yue for her opinion on the products. Shi Yue directly pointed out that the styles approved by Liang Yuan were too old-fashioned and not youthful enough. Liang Yuan's face stiffened, but Chen Shanhai decided to follow Shi Yue's suggestion. Shi Yue had lunch with Liu Weide and asked about the promotion opportunities in the company. She learned that Liang Yuan and Chen Shanhai had a special relationship. If Liang Yuan continued to perform well, Ren Yiming had no chance of getting promoted. However, Chen Shanhai was someone who valued abilities over personal relationships. Knowing Liang Yuan's true nature, Shi Yue was no longer afraid of her and directly confronted her.
While Shen An'an was picking up her shoes, she saw a notification on her phone. She read an article about her husband cheating, and the comments below warned her to be careful of the people around her. Shen An'an realized that Ren Yiming was involved with Shi Yue and suddenly felt scared. She looked at the completely ruined shoes, realizing they were no longer the same ones Ren Yiming had given her, and her emotions exploded. Shen An'an decided to plan for herself and considered working at a car dealership. She contacted Lin Yao and arranged to meet at a cafe. Lin Yao pointed out that she had a talent for sales but needed some improvement, especially in her fashion sense.
Ren Yiming pulled Shi Yue into a corner and questioned her about why she opposed Liang Yuan. Shi Yue said she was helping him, and just as Ren Yiming was about to ask about her feelings for him, Wen Hao suddenly interrupted their conversation. Wen Hao advised Ren Yiming to stop while he was ahead and not target Shi Yue. Ren Fei went to Shen An'an's house and found her making a new style of dumplings. She quickly started a live stream on her phone to show everyone how she made dumplings. Shen An'an demonstrated the process of making dumplings and conveyed the message that family should be understanding and occasionally bring surprises.
Chen Shanhai went to Liang Yuan's office and said his secretary was sick, so he wanted to borrow Shi Yue, who could speak English, to take meeting notes. When Shi Yue left, she dressed up in a sexy and mature manner. She told Ren Yiming that he didn't need to wait for her that evening. Seeing Shi Yue and Chen Shanhai getting closer, Ren Yiming became jealous. When he returned home in the evening, he specifically asked Shen An'an to remind Shi Yue to be mindful and not spend too much time with male colleagues. Shen An'an mentioned that it's just Shi Yue's outgoing nature. After that, she discussed with Ren Yiming about buying a house for Shi Yue.
Episode 7 Recap
Shi Yue got drunk and deliberately posted on her Moments, with a picture of the bench near her home and a caption saying she was waiting for Ren Yiming. Ren Yiming saw Shi Yue's Moments and became anxious. When Shen An'an asked him about it, he expressed that he didn't want Shi Yue to move out, as he wanted someone to accompany Shen An'an. Later, Ren Yiming used the excuse of feeling dizzy to go downstairs and look for Shi Yue. He found Shi Yue drunk on the bench and asked her not to drink with Chen Shanhai. Shi Yue refused to promise and instead asked Ren Yiming about his feelings for her. She said that as long as he wanted her to stay, she would stay, but if he wanted her to leave, she would leave without hesitation. Ren Yiming had developed feelings for Shi Yue and didn't want her to leave his family.
Ren Fei and Wen Hao couldn't sleep at night and were thinking about Shi Yue. They connected the recent discoveries and became worried about the relationship between Ren Yiming and Shi Yue. Shen An'an was aware of the involvement between her husband and Shi Yue. Considering her financial situation, she decided to join a car dealership and contacted Lin Yao.
The next morning, Shi Yue didn't come downstairs for breakfast. Ren Yiming ate while paying attention to the situation at the stairs. Shen An'an accompanied Ren Yiming to work and informed him that she would be away on a business trip and would drive to pick up Shen's mother to take care of Ren Xinyi at home. Ren Yiming awkwardly responded, mentioning that Shen's mother must miss Ren Xinyi as well. Chen Shanhai brought a bracelet to Liang Yuan, but she said she could buy those things herself and only cared about the position she desired. Liang Yuan also told Chen Shanhai about Shi Yue taking sick leave. Shi Yue claimed to have a headache as the reason for her leave and implied that it was related to Chen Shanhai's business entertainment, but he didn't seem to care.
While Ren Yiming was at work, his colleagues asked about Shi Yue's relationship status. Ren Yiming bluntly told them that Shi Yue already had someone she liked who wasn't from their company, and their relationship with Shi Yue had no future. Shi Yue sent a text message to Ren Yiming, stating that she wanted to resign and apologized for causing trouble over the past few days. She mentioned that she had just taken medicine and fallen asleep. Worried about Shi Yue, Ren Yiming immediately rushed home from the company. Wen Hao saw Ren Yiming leaving hurriedly and called out to him, reminding him to be rational. However, Ren Yiming was completely focused on Shi Yue and didn't pay attention.
Ren Yiming arrived home and found Shi Yue lying in bed. He quickly woke her up. Shi Yue told Ren Yiming that she had attempted suicide before and showed him her scars. Shi Yue argued that she wanted to leave this home. Ren Yiming tried to calm her emotions and comforted her. They struggled with each other, and Shi Yue pinned Ren Yiming down on the bed. Under Shi Yue's temptation, Ren Yiming couldn't resist his feelings and they became intimate in the study.
After Shen An'an brought Shen's mother home, she noticed her husband's shoes at the door and remembered that Shi Yue was inside. She sensed that something was wrong and anxiously went upstairs, leaving Shen's mother waiting downstairs. Just as she reached the study's door, Ren Yiming came out, tidying his clothes. Ren Yiming explained to Shen An'an that he accidentally spilled ink on his clothes during the meeting and had to come home to change. After speaking, he hastily left by car. Shen An'an picked up the clothes Ren Yiming had just changed and noticed that the ink was still wet, confirming her suspicions. She felt extremely angry but still couldn't believe that they would betray her.
Ren Fei handed the team-building list to Lin Yao, who said he wanted to talk to Shen An'an and add her name to the list. Lin Yao proactively asked Shen An'an out. Shen An'an was feeling down, and Lin Yao offered to listen to her and tried to console her. Lin Yao told Shen An'an about his mother, who was a psychological counselor. His mother had thought his father didn't love her anymore and had suggested divorce, even though Lin's father hadn't cheated. Lin Yao didn't understand the reason behind it. Later, his mother told him that marriage is difficult, and one shouldn't force oneself to accept it. Instead, one should try to understand and be true to oneself.
Shen An'an was deeply saddened by her husband's and Shi Yue's situation and decided to distance herself for a while. However, Ren Fei told her that she couldn't leave now no matter what, as they didn't know what might happen. Shen An'an couldn't listen and insisted on leaving. Before leaving, Shen An'an went to Shi Yue's room and reminded her to be cautious with her perfume, not to get the scent on Ren Yiming's clothes. She used this opportunity to warn Shi Yue that some things cannot be shared. Shi Yue understood the implications in Shen An'an's words but didn't mind. Instead, she assured Shen An'an that she would take care of the family.
Unable to contain her excitement, Shi Yue wanted to go out with Ren Yiming. Ren Xinyi held onto Ren Yiming and played with building blocks, but his mind was completely on Shi Yue, and he was absent-minded, assembling the blocks incorrectly. Shi Yue left first and found a clubhouse, then sent the address to Ren Yiming.
Episode 8 Recap
Ren Yiming saw the message sent by Shi Yue and used the excuse of having something to do at work to leave and rush to the clubhouse to find her. Afterwards, the two of them went shopping together at a supermarket, where Liang Yuan also happened to come across them. She noticed the close behavior between Ren Yiming and Shi Yue and guessed their relationship. Ren Yiming became very nervous when he saw Liang Yuan because she was his competitor, and he was worried that she might say something negative about him at the company. So, he claimed that his wife had asked him to buy those things. Shi Yue didn't like Liang Yuan's attitude, so she asked Ren Yiming to wait for her in the car and pretended that she needed to use the restroom. Then, when Liang Yuan wasn't paying attention, she secretly put some food into Liang Yuan's pocket as a prank. When Liang Yuan went to pay, she found the items in her pocket and realized it was a prank by Shi Yue.
Shen An'an traveled with her colleagues to the outdoor team-building event. Although it should have been an enjoyable occasion, Shen An'an couldn't stop thinking about her husband and Shi Yue. During the training, Lin Yao noticed that Shen An'an seemed distracted, so he asked her to introduce herself to everyone. Shen An'an talked about her family and when asked about her dreams, she hesitated for a long time and only expressed her hope for her daughter's health and good studies. After the training, Lin Yao approached Shen An'an and had a heart-to-heart conversation, asking about her aspirations. He discovered that Shen An'an didn't have any clear goals for the future. Lin Yao respected Shen An'an's thoughts but felt that if someone else was part of her plans and that person changed, she would risk failure. Therefore, he hoped that Shen An'an would consider her own situation more.
In the evening, Shen An'an had a video call with Ren Xinyi and noticed that her daughter kept scratching her arms. She found out that it was due to an allergic reaction caused by the perfume Shi Yue had sprayed on her. Shen An'an wanted Ren Yiming, who knew where the allergy medicine was, to give it to their daughter, but both Ren Yiming and Shi Yue were not at home. Worried about her daughter, Shen An'an quickly packed her things and decided to go home. Lin Yao heard from Ren Fei that Shen An'an was leaving and was concerned about her safety traveling alone, so he immediately drove her home. Shen An'an initially wanted to decline but eventually agreed. On the way, Shen An'an reflected on how her life had changed since getting married and how it revolved around her family.
Just as Shen An'an arrived home, she saw her husband's car and noticed Shi Yue getting out of it and giving Ren Yiming a kiss. Shen An'an felt utterly hopeless, and Lin Yao was also shocked by the scene. Shen An'an couldn't think clearly, and although she was heartbroken by the betrayal, she knew she had to confront the situation. Ren Yiming and Shi Yue were surprised to see Shen An'an suddenly return. Shi Yue quickly made an excuse to go and get her phone and hurriedly left the house but saw Lin Yao, her former boyfriend, who had just escorted Shen An'an back.
Shi Yue rushed back home and asked who had brought Shen An'an back. Shen An'an responded coldly that it had nothing to do with her. Shen An'an questioned the relationship between Ren Yiming and Shi Yue, but Ren Yiming still refused to admit to having an affair with Shi Yue. He claimed that he just happened to run into her when he came back. Shen An'an witnessed their intimacy firsthand and completely disbelieved her husband's excuses. She expressed her intention to talk to Ren Yiming. Upon hearing their argument, Ren Xinyi ran out, and even Shen's mother heard the commotion and came out to inquire. Shen An'an didn't want her mother to worry and didn't reveal the truth to her.
Shen An'an went to the study to find Shi Yue and asked her to move out of the house by tomorrow at the latest. Shen An'an couldn't accept the way Shi Yue influenced their daughter and couldn't tolerate her destroying their family. Shi Yue and Shen An'an had a heated argument, with Shi Yue saying that it takes two to tango, and she blamed Shen An'an's husband for the affair. Shi Yue saw Lin Yao and remembered the painful memories from before, feeling deeply worried.
The next day, Shen's mother learned about what Shi Yue had done and told Shen An'an that in a marriage, one must learn to be tolerant. If Ren Yiming realizes his mistake and returns to the right path, she should also learn to let go. Even if it's for Ren Xinyi's sake, she should try to maintain the family. Shen An'an couldn't accept it at that moment and said she needed to think before making a decision. In the morning, the family had breakfast together. Ren Yiming casually approached Ren Xinyi, but suddenly Shi Yue appeared with a suitcase, pretending to apologize for the trouble she caused everyone.
Shen An'an decided to give Ren Yiming the silent treatment and give each other time to think things through. The next morning, Ren Yiming woke up late and realized that his wife didn't wake him up as she used to, and there was no breakfast for him. In a panic, he quickly got into his car and drove off. Chen Shanhai called Liang Yuan and Ren Yiming to the office, saying they needed to go on a business trip and should discuss it with their families as soon as possible. Ren Yiming claimed to have something to handle at home and requested a few days' delay.
When Shi Yue heard that Ren Yiming was going on a business trip with Liang Yuan, she felt extremely uncomfortable. In the bathroom, she angrily questioned Liang Yuan why she kept clinging to Ren Yiming. Liang Yuan admitted that she did have a history with Ren Yiming, which made Shi Yue believe that Liang Yuan wanted to steal Ren Yiming from her. She became very angry.
Episode 9 Recap
Shi Yue angrily asked Liang Yuan about her relationship with Ren Yiming. Liang Yuan told her that she didn't come to the company to steal someone, let alone someone else's husband. Upon hearing this, Shi Yue's face turned green with jealousy.
Lin Yao was worried about Shen An'an and called her to ask about her recent state. He told her that no matter what happens, she can come to him and also needs to consider herself. Lin's mother saw her son's expression while making the phone call and speculated that he had feelings for Shen An'an. Lin Yao explained that she was just an employee in his company and he was concerned about her recent troubles.
During work, Shi Yue deliberately walked closely with Liu Weide and even played games together. Ren Yiming closely observed their behavior and became jealous. He pulled Shi Yue out of the company. Shi Yue couldn't accept Ren Yiming going out with other women and threatened to tell Shen An'an. Ren Yiming comforted Shi Yue and took her to his home. Shi Yue had lost her rationality and said that she couldn't live without Ren Yiming. Wen Hao, who had been watching them outside the company, witnessed their intimate behavior. After returning home, Wen Hao told Ren Fei what he had seen, confirming Ren Fei's suspicions that Ren Yiming was having an affair with Shi Yue.
In the evening, Shen An'an was cooking when Shi Yue called her and said that Ren Yiming was sleeping at her place. She also mentioned that the house she was living in was bought by Ren Yiming. Shen An'an listened to her words and angrily hung up the phone. Shortly after, Shi Yue sent a message to Shen An'an, calling her the best sister in the world and attached a picture of Ren Yiming shirtless on the bed. Shen An'an saw the photo and broke down, accidentally cutting the family photo on the wall with a knife.
Ren Fei called Ren Yiming and Shen An'an, but neither of their calls went through. Wen Hao told Ren Fei about seeing them walking together in the parking lot yesterday, which made Ren Fei even more angry. Ren Yiming and Shi Yue didn't show up for work the next day. Some colleagues who witnessed their argument in the parking lot speculated that their relationship was not ordinary. Ren Yiming and Liang Yuan were about to go on a business trip, but their subordinates couldn't reach Ren Yiming and the documents couldn't be signed. Wen Hao called Ren Fei and informed her that the office was already gossiping about Ren Yiming and Shi Yue. Ren Fei asked Wen Hao to quickly find Ren Yiming, while she went to find Shen An'an.
Ren Fei informed Lin Yao that they couldn't reach Shen An'an. Lin Yao became very worried. He knew a little about Shen An'an's family but didn't know what bad intentions Shi Yue had. He removed Shi Yue from his blacklist and called her. Shi Yue curiously asked how he knew her sister, and when she learned that Shen An'an was her sister, she was surprised.
Ren Fei went home and found Shen An'an packing her things. Shen An'an remained silent and completely closed off her emotions. Ren Fei advised her to cry it out, but Shen An'an couldn't cry, which made Ren Fei even more worried.
Ren Yiming woke up in a hurry and quickly got dressed when he learned from Shi Yue that Shen An'an knew about their affair. He tried to calm Shi Yue's emotions and hurried back home to apologize to Shen An'an. He admitted that he made a mistake and asked her to give him another chance. Shen An'an didn't believe Ren Yiming's words and quickly locked him out of the bedroom, recalling the promises he made to her father. Shen An'an couldn't help but cry.
Ren Yiming picked up Ren Xinyi from school and asked her to talk to Shen An'an on his behalf, hoping to have dinner with them. However, Shen An'an still refused. Ren Xinyi pulled Ren Yiming aside and asked him not to move out, promising to be with him. In the evening, Shi Yue kept calling Ren Yiming, but he kept hanging up. The next day, Shen An'an sent Ren Yiming to work as usual and bumped into Liang Yuan downstairs. Before leaving, Ren Yiming hugged Shen An'an. Shi Yue watched their interaction from upstairs and almost went crazy. As Liang Yuan was about to leave for the business trip, she told Shi Yue that she would take care of Ren Yiming since she knew his preferences.
Ren Yiming and Liang Yuan went on a business trip. Liang Yuan suggested going to a popular restaurant for lunch and intentionally took a picture of the two of them together to post on social media. Shi Yue saw it and became extremely angry. She repeatedly called Ren Yiming, but he didn't answer. Shi Yue scrolled through her social media feed and saw Ren Yiming's posts. She became even more nervous and called a video chat with Liang Yuan. Coincidentally, she saw Ren Yiming entering Liang Yuan's room, and her emotions exploded instantly.
Episode 10 Recap
Liang Yuan admitted that she used to hate Ren Yiming, but she genuinely believed that Shen An'an was a good person. Ren Yiming mentioned that he felt pressure being with Liang Yuan but felt comfortable with Shen An'an. He knew that Shen An'an valued family and believed she would forgive him, and their family could weather this storm. Liang Yuan reminded Ren Yiming to stay away from Shi Yue.
Shi Yue discovered Liang Yuan's past relationship with Ren Yiming and rushed to Shen An'an's house. Shen An'an was washing dishes in the kitchen when Shi Yue suddenly appeared and asked if Ren Yiming had called her. Shi Yue tried to grab Shen An'an's phone to check, holding a knife and fork to her neck, forcing Shen An'an to call Ren Yiming. Shi Yue claimed that Ren Xinyi had been in a car accident and asked him to come back immediately. Shen An'an snatched the fork from Shi Yue's hand but accidentally cut her own hand. Worried that Shi Yue would influence Ren Xinyi, Shen An'an kicked her out of the house.
After Ren Yiming left Liang Yuan's room, he saw many messages from Shi Yue and called her back. Ren Yiming told Shi Yue that nothing happened between him and Liang Yuan, assuring her that she was the one he loved the most. He then advised Shi Yue to keep her distance from him at the office, as it could affect his promotion. Ren Yiming finally agreed to stay away from Liang Yuan as Shi Yue requested.
To keep Liang Yuan away from Ren Yiming, Shi Yue secretly entered Liang Yuan's office and modified her document data.
Ren Yiming and Liang Yuan returned from their business trip. During a meeting, Liang Yuan suggested celebrating their successful contract acquisition by inviting everyone to dinner. Ren Yiming, who saw Shen An'an's message asking him to take his belongings, drank heavily and got drunk. At this moment, Shi Yue called Ren Yiming, claiming to have a surprise for him. Shi Yue stated that she was currently sitting in his office.
Ren Yiming refused to go home and take his belongings, so Shen An'an brought his luggage to his company. Coincidentally, she encountered Shi Yue in Ren Yiming's office, expressing their love for each other. Faced with Shi Yue's provocation, Shen An'an angrily pointed at the office's surveillance cameras, threatening to make the entire company witness their behavior. Shi Yue intended to catch up with Shen An'an, but Ren Fei suddenly appeared and stopped Shi Yue. The two ended up fighting, and Shen An'an managed to separate them.
Ren Yiming went home and begged Shen An'an for forgiveness, asking her to give him another chance. Shen An'an locked the door and tearfully recounted the chances she had given him before, but he continued to make the same mistakes. She had lost all hope in him. Feeling dejected, Ren Yiming walked back to the company when Shi Yue suddenly hugged him from behind, promising to accept him.
The next morning, Shen An'an sent Ren Xinyi to school as usual. The school teacher reminded her about baking for an event, and she remembered her promise. Shen An'an didn't want to disappoint Ren Xinyi again, but there were no ingredients at home. In a hurry, she went out to prepare the ingredients. Just as she was about to leave, Lin Yao hurriedly approached her, saying he wanted to talk to her. While on the way to the supermarket with Shen An'an, Lin Yao revealed that he had briefly dated Shi Yue before. He explained that Shi Yue had mental health issues that had a negative impact on his life, so he had applied for a restraining order against her. Lin Yao rolled up his sleeves, revealing scars from when Shi Yue had scratched him, and warned Shen An'an to be cautious. As Shen An'an baked a cake, Lin Yao watched her intently. In the end, he even helped her deliver it to the school. Watching Shen An'an playing with her daughter, Lin Yao smiled belatedly.
In the evening, Chen Shanhai discovered an email from an account named "Good Samaritan" on his computer, containing evidence of Liang Yuan taking kickbacks. Chen Shanhai knew it was a setup but remembered how Liang Yuan's arrogance had repeatedly embarrassed him. He decided to teach her a lesson. He immediately instructed the finance department to send the annual report tomorrow. Liang Yuan told Chen Shanhai that she had been framed and requested to personally investigate the matter. However, Chen Shanhai insisted on following company procedures, and feeling untrusted by her boyfriend, Liang Yuan directly resigned.
Episode 11 Recap
Liang Yuan, facing her boyfriend Chen Shanhai's suspicions, directly resigned. Liang Yuan found Liu Weide and learned about the process of Shi Yue getting the key. After knowing the truth, Liang Yuan urged him to be more alert in the future and not be taken advantage of by others. Ren Yiming, unaware of what had happened, asked Liang Yuan what had happened. Liang Yuan told him that someone had secretly tampered with her financial data and couldn't help but sympathize with him, calling him a naive little white rabbit who was actually a snake. She warned Ren Yiming that if he chose to be with Shi Yue, his life would also be a tragedy.
In the bathroom, Liang Yuan saw the smug Shi Yue and confronted her. Liang Yuan pretended to be innocent and continuously provoked her. Angered, Liang Yuan grabbed Shi Yue's hair and brought her in front of their colleagues, publicly accusing her of doing such shameless things and even slapped her. Chen Shanhai intervened to stop Liang Yuan, but Liang Yuan stated that since she resigned, her actions only represented herself. She had signed a big contract during this period and personally punished the person who framed her, and she was very satisfied. Liang Yuan also treated everyone to afternoon tea and said that if they had fate, they would meet again. After hearing Liang Yuan's words, their colleagues applauded and bid her farewell, knowing what she had done.
In the morning, Wen Hao met with clients outside and was completely unaware of what had happened in the morning. Excited, he came to ask Ren Yiming, but Ren Yiming didn't respond. Wen Hao asked Ren Yiming about his true thoughts on family. Ren Yiming not only showed no remorse but also blamed Shen An'an for kicking him out of the house. Wen Hao was disappointed to hear this.
With Liang Yuan's resignation, the position of supervisor naturally fell on Ren Yiming's head. Chen Shanhai knew that Ren Yiming was implicated in this matter but chose not to investigate. However, he requested that Ren Yiming bring his wife to attend the company's event next week, coinciding with his promotion. Chen Shanhai guessed what was going on in Ren Yiming's family and kindly advised him that sometimes people make wrong choices due to momentary confusion, but he hoped Ren Yiming wouldn't do that.
Ren Yiming listened to Chen Shanhai's words and decided to go home to discuss attending the event with Shen An'an. Just as he reached the doorstep, he heard Xinyi crying and asking her father to help her build with blocks because Ren Yiming had always been the one building blocks with her. Hearing his daughter's cry, Ren Yiming couldn't help but worry. Since he was kicked out of his home, he naturally stayed with Shi Yue. Shi Yue noticed Ren Yiming's concern for Xinyi and pretended to be understanding, saying that they would bring Xinyi out in a few days and take care of her together. Only then did Ren Yiming breathe a sigh of relief. Shen An'an had a disagreement with Xinyi over building blocks and felt uneasy. After putting Xinyi to sleep, she tried to build blocks again, not wanting to disappoint her.
The next day after school, Shen An'an's mother picked up Xinyi and went to the kitchen to cook, while Xinyi stayed in the yard to play. Shi Yue, knowing that Ren Yiming missed his daughter, secretly waited by the yard. After Shen An'an's mother left, Shi Yue took Xinyi away. Ren Yiming received a call from Shi Yue and rushed to the restaurant. When he saw Xinyi, he was very excited, but he was also worried that Shen An'an would be concerned about Xinyi, so he prepared to call her. Shi Yue stopped Ren Yiming and said that she had already talked to Shen An'an.
Shen An'an noticed that Xinyi was missing and quickly called Shen An'an's mother. Shen An'an contacted the teacher but received no news, then she contacted Ren Yiming, but the call was immediately hung up by Shi Yue. She searched for Xinyi near her home the entire afternoon but couldn't find any trace of her, and she broke down in tears. At that moment, she heard Xinyi's voice from behind. Shi Yue brought Xinyi back slowly, saying that her phone ran out of battery and she couldn't inform Shen An'an in time. Seeing how nervous Shen An'an was for Xinyi, Shi Yue advised her to give up custody of Xinyi, as she was just a housewife now with no source of income. Shen An'an, facing Shi Yue's provocation, became very angry.
Shen An'an arrived late to the car dealership because she couldn't find a car, and Lin Yao was very angry about it. Lin Yao decided to give Shen An'an another chance and asked her to participate in the company's training program. If she couldn't pass the assessment, she would have no more opportunities. Shen An'an was excited after hearing this. Considering Lin Yao's recent help and her own efforts, Shen An'an felt fulfilled.
Ren Fei asked Shen An'an about their thoughts as a couple. Since Ren Yiming refused to sign the divorce agreement, Shen An'an had to give up and focused on her work. Lin Yao invited friends to go to a bar, but unexpectedly encountered his ex-girlfriend Shi Yue. Shi Yue introduced Ren Yiming and Lin Yao to each other, but Lin Yao became impatient and hurriedly left when he saw the two. Shi Yue got drunk, and Ren Yiming took her home to take care of her. On the other side, Shen An'an studied the business while Xinyi sat at the door, reminiscing about the time spent with her father.
The next day, Shen An'an dressed formally and saw the red shoes that Ren Yiming had given her. She decisively wore them to the assessment and threw the red shoes into the trash can after passing the assessment. She no longer needed shoes that didn't suit her, just as she had let go of Ren Yiming. Ren Fei took Shen An'an to buy new shoes, and on the way, she couldn't help but sigh. She heard from Wen Hao that her brother, Ren Yiming, had been late for work for several days in a row and was dressed sloppily. What's more, he and Shi Yue were being intimate in the office. Shen An'an also learned from Ren Fei that Ren Yiming's promotion this time was because of Liang Yuan's resignation, and Liang Yuan's reputation in the industry was tarnished because of taking kickbacks. Almost no one dared to hire her, which surprised Shen An'an.
After leaving Shen An'an, Ren Yiming's life became a mess. He asked Shi Yue to help him with the laundry, but Shi Yue said she didn't want to become a worn-out housewife like Shen An'an and planned to take the clothes to the dry cleaner's since they now had enough money to spend. Ren Yiming was troubled by this because Shen An'an used to help him with the laundry and cooking at home, so he never had to worry about these things. After thinking about the upcoming event, Ren Yiming decided to call Shen An'an and invite her to accompany him.
Episode 12 Recap
Ren Yiming claimed that there were negative rumors about himself within the company and hoped that Shen An'an could attend the event to help him resolve these matters. Shen An'an ultimately agreed to accompany Ren Yiming but made it clear that she was doing so because he was Xinyi's father and she had some occasions where she needed him to be present.
In order to attend the company event with Ren Yiming, Shi Yue deliberately bought two dresses and asked Ren Yiming to help her choose. Ren Yiming reminded Shi Yue that this event required bringing a spouse, and he had already invited Shen An'an. Upon hearing this, Shi Yue became very angry. She felt that Ren Yiming had everything but still refused to divorce Shen An'an. She argued with Ren Yiming, hoping that he would publicly acknowledge their relationship at the event. Shi Yue, in frustration, confessed to framing Liang Yuan to secure Ren Yiming's promotion, expressing her anger that as a man, he had to rely on women's scheming to advance.
Liang Yuan's reputation suffered a blow due to the incident. Wang, her former jewelry business partner, came to deliver a necklace to her. Having witnessed Liang Yuan's competence in the workplace, Wang advised her that women don't need to work so hard. However, Liang Yuan believed that pearls must endure darkness and painful refinement, and giving up halfway would lead to a dim future. She had faith in her abilities and was prepared to face the challenges of life without giving up easily.
Shen An'an started working, and her first client was Lin Yao. Lin Yao asked Shen An'an to try simulated driving, and Shen An'an was excited to drive a sports car for the first time. While driving, Ren Yiming kept calling Shen An'an, but she saw his call and directly asked Lin Yao to hang up the phone. Ren Yiming called again and again, irritated, and Shen An'an reluctantly answered the call with an annoyed tone. Ren Yiming told Shen An'an to get her hair done and dress herself up nicely. Lin Yao interjected and asked if Shen An'an truly wanted to attend the event, and Ren Yiming grew anxious upon hearing Lin Yao's voice. He asked about their relationship, but Shen An'an refused to involve Lin Yao and promptly hung up the phone.
Lin Yao knew that Shen An'an had been wronged and suggested that she attend the event stunningly, showing everyone how well she was doing. Lin Yao specially made business cards for Shen An'an and even lent her the sports car, allowing her to drive back on her own. Lin Yao treated Shen An'an differently, and Ren Fei noticed. She was considering whether she should try to reconcile Shen An'an with her brother.
The company event began, and colleagues were discussing the situation between Ren Yiming and Shi Yue. Some suspected that they were involved after seeing them shopping together at the supermarket and sympathized with Shen An'an. Upon hearing their remarks, Shi Yue criticized Shen An'an for her plain appearance. The colleagues, who had long been dissatisfied with Shen An'an, joined forces to mock Shi Yue. While they were arguing, the sound of a sports car came from outside the hotel. Everyone looked and saw Shen An'an, beautifully dressed, stepping out of the car, leaving them in awe. Chen Shanhai was impressed by Shen An'an's transformation and asked Ren Yiming to thank her for being such a supportive wife. Ren Yiming, upon hearing this, affectionately embraced Shen An'an, who quickly stepped away.
Shi Yue saw Shen An'an stealing her thunder and believed that Shen An'an was trying to win back Ren Yiming. She declared that Ren Yiming was now hers and that she would live well without Shen An'an. Shen An'an stated that she no longer cared and that her participation in the event was Ren Yiming's request for her to accompany him. As long as Ren Yiming did not sign the divorce agreement, they would continue to be legally married.
Seeing Ren Yiming and Shen An'an together, Shi Yue became enraged and claimed that Ren Yiming was her man. Unsteady on her feet, Shi Yue rushed towards Liu Weide, but he, having seen her true colors during the incident with Liang Yuan, evaded her approach. Shi Yue fell to the ground, becoming the subject of laughter. Despite Shen An'an's presence, Ren Yiming grabbed Shi Yue and Chen Shanhai, seeing the commotion, told Ren Yiming to take Shi Yue home first. After returning home, Shi Yue threw a tantrum at Ren Yiming, irrationally demanding that he divorce Shen An'an. Ren Yiming, seeing Shi Yue's unreasonable behavior, became very angry.
Wen Hao told Ren Fei about the embarrassing incident involving Shi Yue, but Ren Fei couldn't find joy in it because her brother had also lost face and hurt her friend, Shen An'an. When Shen An'an returned home, she told her mother that appearances can sometimes deceive people. She changed her clothes and car, and everyone's attitude toward her changed. She received many compliments and felt very happy. Her mother told her to choose both beautiful and delicious pastries, just as women should focus on both their inner and outer selves.
Shen An'an got a new hairstyle, making her look more capable. Chen Shande received the business card Shen An'an gave him the previous night and came to the car dealership where she worked to look at cars. Chen Shanhai told Shen An'an that Ren Yiming had come to apologize to him in the morning and expressed his willingness to help Shen An'an. Lin Yao, seeing Shen An'an talking amiably with customers, felt puzzled. Ren Yiming also arrived at the company early, surprising his colleagues. He admitted that he had been somewhat lax with his time recently, often coming to the company in the afternoon without the diligence he had shown before. Ren Yiming assured his colleagues that he would return to his previous state and continue working earnestly with them. He then carefully wiped the family photo and placed it on his desk.
Episode 13 Recap
Chen Shanhai came to the car dealership to look at cars, and Shen An'an attended to him the whole morning. She handed Chen Shanhai's test drive contract to Lin Yao for signing. Lin Yao watched them closely and felt jealous. He complained that she smiled too much with the clients she just received and didn't smile at him as brightly.
Ren Yiming was working overtime at the company when Shi Yue brought takeout to the office. While they were being affectionate with each other, their colleagues returned and witnessed the scene. Ren Yiming remained unchanged, which made Lin Yao feel extremely disheartened. Ren Yiming had grown tired of Shi Yue since the last social gathering and regretted his actions after recalling Liang Yuan's advice.
Shi Yue's father called her and she expressed dissatisfaction with him cutting off her card. She was impolite in her tone. Shi Yue's father felt at ease letting her stay with Shen An'an and her daughter. He highly appreciated Shen An'an's character and hoped that Shi Yue could learn from her. Shi Yue was surprised to learn that her father didn't think highly of Ren Yiming because he didn't have a car or a house when he was young and had an average job.
When Shen An'an returned home, she discovered that Xinyi was drawing a picture of her father. It turned out to be a parent open day at the kindergarten, and Xinyi wanted her father, Ren Yiming, to attend. Shen An'an felt troubled by this. That day, Shen An'an tried making egg custard pastries at home. Netizens saw her exuding confidence and found her very beautiful. They admired her sincerely. Shen An'an mentioned that it was just a way to share the joy of life, and she planned to bring the egg custard pastries to share with her colleagues.
Lin Yao still hadn't had breakfast in the morning and his stomach was still hurting. But he remembered the acupressure points that Shen An'an had told him about. When Shen An'an saw Lin Yao's stomachache, she took out the egg custard pastries she had brought specifically for him and let him try different flavors. Liang Yuan watched Shen An'an's live stream while having breakfast and felt very content. If it weren't for Ren Yiming, she believed they would be good friends. Just then, Chen Shanhai called. Chen Shanhai said he had verified from multiple sources within the company and confirmed Liang Yuan's innocence. He wanted to invite her back to the company. However, Liang Yuan flatly refused Chen Shanhai's offer, stating that he didn't investigate when the false accusations came out. She wouldn't fall into the same trap twice. Chen Shanhai watched Liang Yuan's resolute figure with deep meaning. From the moment he received the anonymous email, he had checked the surveillance footage and confirmed it was Shi Yue's plot, but he didn't clear Liang Yuan's name.
Lin Yao took Shen An'an to meet a client. On the way, he pointed out Shen An'an's strengths and openly expressed his hope that she wouldn't just be a salesperson. To prevent Lin Yao's stomachache, Shen An'an took away his coffee, and they parted ways. Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other again while Shen An'an was buying a hamburger. Lin Yao had a new coffee in his hand. They exchanged smiles, and Lin Yao took the hamburger from Shen An'an and decided to have a proper meal together. After finishing their meal, they bid each other farewell. Lin Yao stared at Shen An'an's figure, expecting her to turn back and glance at him, but she didn't, which left him greatly disappointed.
After saying goodbye to Lin Yao, Shen An'an met Liang Yuan, and their relationship was very harmonious. Shen An'an learned that Liang Yuan was currently the Content Director of a video company. Liang Yuan watched Shen An'an's live stream and honestly praised her excellent videos. She also admired the changes Shen An'an had made. Liang Yuan asked about Shen An'an's current relationship with Ren Yiming. Initially, due to being love rivals and competitors, she didn't want to get involved in their marital affairs. However, she felt that Shen An'an was a person worth getting to know, so she couldn't help but warn her about Shi Yue, who was a dangerous person. Liang Yuan told Shen An'an that she had some understanding of Ren Yiming, who hesitated in relationships but would never evade his family responsibilities.
Shen An'an called Ren Yiming and wanted to invite him to her home to discuss Xinyi's matter. Ren Yiming was very happy to receive Shen An'an's call. When Shi Yue heard their conversation, she wanted Ren Yiming to take her home with him, but Ren Yiming refused. Shi Yue became very angry and deliberately fell from the rooftop of the company building to prevent Ren Yiming from going home. Just as Ren Yiming was preparing to go home, Wen Hao suddenly ran over and informed him about Shi Yue's accident and that she was being taken to the hospital. Ren Yiming had no choice but to go to the hospital.
It had been a long time since Xinyi had seen her father. When she heard that her father was coming home, she brought her artwork and sat at the door waiting for him. Ren Yiming softened and, upon Shi Yue's pleading, decided to stay at the hospital. That night, Xinyi didn't see her father, and she cried, longing for him. Shen An'an had to comfort her and put her to sleep. Early the next morning, Ren Yiming arrived at home. Shen An'an didn't want to interact with him, but Xinyi was very happy to see her father. Shi Yue intentionally sent a message to Shen An'an, claiming to know the reason why Ren Yiming didn't come home last night. Shen An'an saw the message and sent them a group photo of the three of them together. She also answered the call from Shi Yue to counter her. Seeing her plan fail, Shi Yue was on the verge of madness.
Shen An'an informed Ren Yiming about Xinyi's school activity and expressed her hope that he could attend on time. Ren Yiming wanted to explain to Shen An'an that he was handling everything and hoped she wouldn't give up on him, giving him another chance.
Episode 14 Recap
Shen An'an exposed Ren Yiming's lie. He didn't break up with Shi Yue, but he lied to Shen An'an that they had already broken up. Shen An'an told him directly that he would only be Xinyi's father from now on and hoped he wouldn't involve her anymore.
Shen An'an accompanied Chen Shanhai for a test drive, but she was distracted and unresponsive the whole time. Chen Shanhai decided to sign the contract and expressed his intention to buy the sports car today. Shen An'an wanted to give him some advice, but Chen Shanhai insisted on purchasing both classic car models. After signing the contract, Chen Shanhai suggested having dinner together. Shen An'an was hesitant, but at that moment, Chen Shanhai received a phone call, and the dinner plan was canceled. Chen Shanhai assured Shen An'an that she could come to him for help, whether it was personal or work-related. Lin Yao didn't need to come to the company that day but felt jealous when he realized the good relationship between Shen An'an and Chen Shanhai, so he decided to come and monitor their interactions.
While Shen An'an was at work, Shi Yue went to Shen An'an's house to find Shen's mother. Shen's mother was angry with Shi Yue for her actions and didn't want to talk to her. Shi Yue mentioned that what she wanted to talk about was related to Xinyi, so Shen's mother reluctantly let her into the house. Shi Yue asked when they were going to divorce, stating that Shen An'an had been clinging to Ren Yiming, and it was time to discuss the divorce. Shi Yue touched her belly and said she didn't want any trouble for her unborn brother or sister.
Lin Yao noticed that Shen An'an seemed troubled and took her to a bridge to let her relax and get some fresh air. Shen An'an confided in Lin Yao about her unhappiness upon seeing Ren Yiming with Shi Yue. She wasn't happy herself; she just didn't want Xinyi to lose her admired father. Lin Yao tried to comfort Shen An'an, and she listened to his words, regaining her composure.
The next morning, Shen An'an arrived at the company in high spirits. She handed over a list of potential car buyers to Lin Yao. Unexpectedly, Lin Yao suddenly had a stomachache. Shen An'an gave him the breakfast Ren Fei brought for her, and Lin Yao praised her cooking. Shen An'an couldn't help but say she could bring him breakfast every day, and Lin Yao quickly agreed. Shen An'an was initially worried that he might get tired of it, but he was very enthusiastic about the idea.
Colleagues discussed how Chen Shanhai had been going to the car dealership frequently, willing to pay extra to buy a car. Every time he returned, he had a radiant smile and asked his colleagues how to pursue a gentle and cooking-loving woman. When Ren Yiming heard about it, he sensed something was wrong and immediately called Ren Fei to ask if Chen Shanhai often visited their store to look at cars. After confirming his suspicion, Ren Yiming rushed to Shen An'an's car dealership. He warned her that Chen Shanhai was a womanizer and believed he had ulterior motives for frequently visiting the dealership when they were having issues.
Shen An'an insisted that Chen Shanhai was her client, and she had an obligation to promote cars to him. Shen An'an found it strange that Ren Yiming was the one who betrayed her first, and now he was concerned about her. Ren Yiming admitted his mistake and promised to do everything to regain Shen An'an's love. Lin Yao saw Ren Yiming bothering Shen An'an and stepped in to resolve the situation, telling Ren Yiming not to disturb her at work. Ren Yiming had no choice but to give up.
In the evening, Ren Fei and Wen Hao had dinner together at Shen An'an's house. Seeing how adorable Xinyi was, they couldn't help but want a child of their own. After dinner, Shen's mother called Shen An'an aside and believed that she should have given Ren Yiming a chance initially, or else Shi Yue wouldn't have become pregnant. However, Shen An'an didn't think she did anything wrong because Ren Yiming betrayed her first. Ren Fei advised Shen An'an not to let Shi Yue off the hook because even if Shen An'an didn't fight back, Shi Yue wouldn't spare her. Shen An'an's focus was solely on her work, and she didn't want to compete with Shi Yue anymore. She decided to withdraw from the battle.
At night, Shi Yue prepared dinner and wine at home, waiting for Ren Yiming to return. When Ren Yiming arrived, he said he needed to take a shower first, but Shi Yue started causing trouble and insisted that he eat first. Ren Yiming couldn't help but argue with Shi Yue. He felt that the current Shi Yue was unfamiliar and not the kind and sensible person she used to be. After taking a shower, Shi Yue asked Ren Yiming when he planned to divorce Shen An'an. She revealed that she was already pregnant, and if he dared to leave her, she would forever cling to both of them. Ren Yiming looked at Shi Yue's madness and believed she would do as she said, feeling extremely afraid. Wen Hao confessed to Ren Fei that he was very grateful for her constant reminders; otherwise, he might have made mistakes like Ren Yiming.
At night, Shi Yue went to get water and saw a reminder on Ren Yiming's phone about Xinyi's school activity. The next day, she tried to delay Ren Yiming, but he lied that he had a meeting with a client in the afternoon. Shi Yue realized he was deceiving her and let him go. When it was time for the activity, Shi Yue deliberately sent a video of herself attempting suicide to Ren Yiming and Shen An'an. Worried about Shi Yue's safety, Shen An'an asked Ren Yiming to go and check on her.
Episode 15 Recap
Shen An'an handed the drawing that Ren Xinyi had made to Ren Yiming and asked about Shi Yue's condition and whether the child was safe. Ren Yiming was very angry about the situation. When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that Shi Yue hadn't injured any vital organs and was not pregnant. Ren Yiming questioned why Shi Yue had deceived him, and she admitted that it was to force them to divorce. Ren Yiming couldn't tolerate Shi Yue's irrational behavior anymore. When Shi Yue reminded him that after the divorce, she wanted Shen An'an and Xinyi to move out and for them to move into a bigger house, Ren Yiming solemnly warned her that it wouldn't happen as she wished. If Shi Yue continued to lie and play with suicide, he would not hesitate to break up with her.
After learning about the cause and effect of the situation, Shen An'an brought out the divorce agreement, stating that it was the best outcome for both of them. Ren Yiming still wanted to keep Shen An'an and promised to change and return to their previous happiness. However, Shen An'an said she couldn't forget what happened and couldn't bear another woman sending bed photos to her. Even if she forgave Ren Yiming temporarily, she could no longer trust him, and it was also the best protection for Xinyi. Ren Yiming drove and reminisced about the past of their family of three.
A month later, they agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Ren Yiming reluctantly held onto his wedding ring, while Shen An'an was resolute. The matter had come to this point, and Ren Yiming had made a mistake that couldn't be undone. Ren Fei and Wen Hao accompanied Shen An'an to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and their divorce process was calm. Both agreed to let Xinyi stay with Shen An'an, and the expenses would be shared between them. Ren Yiming struggled as he signed the contract, officially ending their marital relationship.
Before parting, Ren Yiming thanked Shen An'an for her efforts and expressed deep regret. He hoped that they could still be friends in the future, and Shen An'an agreed to his request. Ren Fei watched them divorce and couldn't bear the pain, embracing Shen An'an and crying. Wen Hao went to comfort Ren Yiming and promised not to reveal this matter to others and saw it as a good thing for both of them.
Shen An'an had previously booked a travel destination for their wedding anniversary and canceled the reservation after seeing the reminder. The next day, the owner of the lodging called and reminded her that the reservation fee wouldn't be refunded. The place had beautiful scenery, and they hoped she could come and take a look. In the end, Shen An'an decided to travel alone. Lin Yao saw Shen An'an requesting time off and thought she would give up on the three clients in front of her and quit her job. Shen An'an told Lin Yao that she got divorced yesterday, and upon hearing this, Lin Yao agreed and said he would give her a few more days off.
Shen An'an arrived at the place she had been with Ren Yiming before, looking at the scenes they had walked through together, the attached love locks, feeling a sense of melancholy. She encouraged herself that as long as she had confidence and worked hard, there would be a bright future ahead. Shen An'an took off the love lock and encountered Lin Yao when checking into the lodging. Over the next few days, Lin Yao and Shen An'an enjoyed the scenery together.
Star Entertainment was currently facing the biggest problem of lacking intrinsic value. The excessive proliferation of entertainment content was leading to cutthroat competition. Liang Yuan raised the issue but wasn't prepared with a solution. The higher-ups told her to first integrate into the team and come up with a plan next time. Liang Yuan, in order to formulate a plan, intentionally took buses and subways during peak hours, observing the preferences of people in different age groups for watching videos. She ended up with sore feet from walking around.
Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen An'an told everyone that she had a tough year but fortunately, things were turning around. She decided to make almond custard to comfort those experiencing bitterness in life. The celebrities that Star Entertainment cooperated with discussed the high profit-sharing ratio. To solve the problem, Liang Yuan recommended Shen An'an to the company. Liang Yuan showed everyone the live videos that Shen An'an had made, which were close to daily life and appeared natural. Liang Yuan made an appointment to meet Shen An'an and showed her the planning proposal of her company, hoping to invite her to do live broadcasts together. Shen An'an was worried that she couldn't fully commit and wanted to refuse Liang Yuan. Only then did Liang Yuan learn that Shen An'an had already divorced but still hoped that she would consider it seriously since raising a child alone wasn't easy.
Lin Yao called Shen An'an and said that a customer requested her personal assistance. Shen An'an bid farewell to Liang Yuan and returned to the car dealership, where she saw Chen Shanhai waiting for her. Chen Shanhai brought a friend to test drive a car, and they were about to sign the contract today. The customer that Chen Shanhai brought was very satisfied and purchased the car. To thank Chen Shanhai for helping her with work, Shen An'an agreed to his invitation to treat her. Lin Yao had been keeping an eye on the situation between the two and, upon learning that Shen An'an was going to treat a client, called her to say that she should go to the restaurant they used to frequent, and the company would reimburse the expenses.
Episode 16 Recap
Lin Yao didn't understand what he was doing, but he couldn't help but care about Shen An'an. In the evening, Lin Yao and Ren Yiming waited outside the restaurant and approached them as soon as they came out, claiming that they happened to be dining nearby with a client. Chen Shanhai had intended to use being drunk as an excuse for Shen An'an to drive him home, but Lin Yao had already arranged for a designated driver in advance. Chen Shanhai had no choice but to compromise and told Shen An'an to let him know when she got home and that the company welcomed her anytime.
Shen An'an originally wanted to leave directly, but Lin Yao stopped her and asked if there was anything she wanted to tell him. Shen An'an was confused. Lin Yao arrogantly said that he had also been drinking and now the designated driver was gone, so he could only ask Shen An'an to give him a ride home.
Ren Fei complained to Shen An'an about Wen Hao not being at home last night and she was very angry. Shen An'an advised her to calm down. Ren Fei took Wen Hao to eat hot pot and brought him a lot of alcohol, asking if he was hiding something from her. Wen Hao said his brother had been admitted to the hospital last night, so he went to see him in the middle of the night. Ren Fei didn't believe him and called his friend. Wen Hao's friend had anticipated the situation and helped him cover up.
Wen Hao got drunk and mumbled that he only treated Ren Fei well. Ren Fei was very happy. The next day at work, Ren Fei remained vigilant and decided to catch Wen Hao in the act. She skipped work directly and first went to the mall to buy clothes for disguise, then waited in the parking lot for Wen Hao to come out. When Wen Hao was about to leave, he received a call from his mother. Wen's mother complained to him about not having children yet with a man, and Wen Hao said he would try his best. Wen Hao drove a girl and when Ren Fei, who was following him, saw it, she couldn't control her temper and pushed Wen Hao into the water. The girl explained that she had just taken a ride in his car and had already paid for the fare.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Ren Fei was very surprised, but Wen Hao was very disappointed. Ren Fei had never trusted him and always suspected him of cheating. Wen Hao suggested they take some time to cool down and seriously consider their marriage. Ren Fei returned home in a daze and asked the security guard if her husband had returned. The security guard said no, but he told her about Wen Hao coming home late before. Ren Fei learned for the first time that Wen Hao had been coming home late recently to save money to support their family and have children. Ren Fei regretted it and tried calling Wen Hao, but he didn't answer.
Liang Yuan brought Shen An'an to the company, and her colleagues were worried about her popularity. They suggested recording a pilot episode to see the results. Liang Yuan expressed her confidence in her judgment and encouraged Shen An'an to continue working hard. Chen Shanhai went to the car dealership and wanted to compare cars with Lin Yao, with Shen An'an as the prize. They went to the garage, sat in the cars, and prepared to race. However, when it was time to start, Chen Shanhai drove off while Lin Yao never moved the car. The race was canceled. Lin Yao told Chen Shanhai that Shen An'an would always be her own person, and she would never be a bet or bargaining chip. Chen Shanhai felt that Shen An'an had a kind of magic that could make people around her feel at ease, which was rare. Chen Shanhai was convinced by Lin Yao's words and decided to let go.
Ren Fei sought help from her friend Wen Hao to find Ren Yiming, but they couldn't locate him or get any information about him. Ren Fei was absent-minded at work and had an impatient attitude towards customers. Lin Yao noticed Ren Fei's attitude and knew that she was troubled by family matters, so he introduced his mother, Zhao Yimei, to her. Zhao Yimei was a psychotherapist, and Lin Yao hoped that his mother could help Ren Fei. After meeting with Lin's mother, Ren Fei shared her situation with her, and Lin's mother advised her to get a divorce for a peaceful separation. Angered by the suggestion, Ren Fei left directly. As she stepped out, she saw a couple across the street, with the wife bowing her head to apologize to her husband. Ren Fei didn't know what to do and returned to seek help from Lin's mother.
After their conversation, Ren Fei impulsively decided to try one last time. She went to the place where they had been before and used the desperate act of pretending to jump into the river to force Wen Hao to come out. As expected, Wen Hao appeared in time and stopped her. Ren Fei apologized to Wen Hao and tore up the three rules they had agreed upon. Wen Hao was touched by Ren Fei's actions, and they reconciled like a loving couple.
Liang Yuan arranged to meet Chen Shanhai, knowing his recent interest in Shen An'an. She warned Chen Shanhai to stay away from Shen An'an and stated that she would be her future partner. Liang Yuan told Chen Shanhai that she was different from him and that finding a partner would involve mutual trust and sincerity, rather than stabbing each other in the back. The two parted ways without reconciling.
During the filming of the show, Shen An'an forgot her lines in the first shoot, and Liang Yuan noticed her uneasiness.
After reconciling, Wen Hao and Ren Fei continued their part-time driving job. Ren Fei supported Wen Hao's work and waited for him before and after work. Their relationship improved a lot.
Shi Yue had too many absences, so Chen Shanhai found a new assistant for Ren Yiming named Xu Kexin. Once Xu Kexin arrived, the colleagues flocked to her, just like they did to Shi Yue at the beginning. Chen Shanhai called Ren Yiming to the office and informed him about Shen An'an's recent changes and significant transformation. He also warned him that if Shi Yue became troublesome, he wouldn't hesitate to let her go, regardless of Ren Yiming's face.
Xu Kexin worked diligently and attentively, earning praise from her colleagues. When Shi Yue saw Xu Kexin accompanying Ren Yiming to meet clients, she became extremely angry and stated that they would get married in the future, and she had the right to know everything about Ren Yiming. Ren Yiming took Xu Kexin to meet clients and encountered Liang Yuan. He learned that Shen An'an had become the host of her show and was doing well. Ren Yiming felt relieved.
Shen An'an's show had low viewership ratings, and the company proposed replacing her. Liang Yuan hoped that the company would give her another chance, and if the ratings continued to decline, she would leave with Shen An'an.
Episode 17 Recap
One morning, there was an important meeting at the company. Shen An'an called Lin Yao but couldn't reach him, so she anxiously sought help from the security guard to open the door. Lin Yao weakly opened the door and told her that he was fine, but he was happy that Shen An'an was concerned about him. During the meeting, Lin Yao's stomach acted up, but he still insisted on discussing cooperation with clients. Shen An'an saw all of this and couldn't help but worry about him.
After the meeting, Shen An'an received a call from the teacher informing her that Ren Xinyi fell off the swing. Shen An'an hurriedly went to the school with Lin Yao. When Shen An'an saw Ren Xinyi lying on the ambulance bed, she felt very distressed. Lin Yao accompanied Ren Xinyi into the ambulance, and they arrived at the hospital together. Shen An'an anxiously waited outside the operating room, while Lin Yao comforted her not to worry. Suddenly, he also fainted.
Ren Yiming finished meeting with a client and pointed out the mistakes in Xu Kexin's documents before planning to leave. His colleagues praised Xu Kexin for being excellent, polite, and having a good personality. Shi Yue felt very jealous when she heard this. She pulled Xu Kexin into the restroom and interrogated her about Ren Yiming's whereabouts. Xu Kexin refused to back down and said she had an obligation to keep Ren Yiming's secret.
The doctor informed Shen An'an that Ren Xinyi had received fourteen stitches and needed to be hospitalized for observation. Meanwhile, Lin Yao's weakened immune system, due to his chronic gastritis, had caused him to catch influenza B, but he felt slightly better after receiving treatment. Ren Yiming left work early to pick up Ren Xinyi from school and learned about her hospitalization. Shen An'an asked Ren Yiming to take care of Ren Xinyi for a while and went home to pack her things. Just as she reached the elevator, Shi Yue called her loudly on the phone, accusing Shen An'an of using her child to seduce her ex-husband and cursing Ren Xinyi. Shen An'an confronted Shi Yue without hesitation. Shen An'an then went back to warn Ren Yiming to leave quickly and asked him to warn Shi Yue not to curse innocent children.
Ren Yiming angrily returned home and told Shi Yue not to cause trouble and warned her not to interfere with them anymore. Shi Yue asked him why he didn't make their relationship public and felt that he was trying to build an image in his new assistant's mind. Shi Yue told Ren Yiming that if he truly loved her, he should dismiss Xu Kexin, otherwise, he would face the consequences.
Wen Hao and Ren Fei discussed Ren Yiming's regrets. Although they felt sorry for him, they knew he brought it upon himself. When Ren Xinyi woke up and saw her mother by her side, she asked if her father had come. Shen An'an comforted Ren Xinyi and went to find the doctor. The doctor examined Lin Yao in his hospital room and informed Shen An'an that their child still had the flu and needed a few more days of observation. Shen An'an suggested that Ren Xinyi and Lin Yao be arranged together in the same room for her convenience, and Lin Yao was very happy to hear that.
Xu Kexin and Damao chatted at the company. Damao told Xu Kexin that as a woman, she must have her own unique skills and rely on her own abilities to succeed. Xu Kexin saw Liang Yuan's speech from before and felt that as a woman, she should be brave like Liang Yuan. Liang Yuan's new colleagues gossiped about her, saying that she embezzled money in her previous company and would soon be ousted. Liang Yuan felt uncomfortable hearing her colleagues' discussion. Liang Yuan's supervisor heard the rumors and comforted her, telling her not to take it to heart and to forget about the previous incident. Liang Yuan firmly believed that she would succeed.
Lin Yao's mother heard that her son was sick and came to the hospital to visit him. In the hospital, she secretly praised Shen An'an for being considerate and said she had good judgment. Lin's mother told him that suitability is always more important than perfection and that when he encounters someone suitable, he should seize the opportunity.
Ren Yiming looked at a family photo of the three of them and couldn't help but worry about Ren Xinyi. He asked Wen Hao for help. Shen An'an still had some resentment towards Ren Yiming and left the ward to see Lin Yao when she saw him approaching. Ren Fei followed her as well and saw the dumplings Shen An'an brought for Lin Yao, realizing that their relationship was not ordinary. She realized that it would be difficult to matchmake her brother and Shen An'an because Shen An'an had already left.
Shen An'an went outside the ward to borrow dumplings from Lin Yao. Ren Yiming found Shen An'an and asked her to let him spend more time with their child. He also hoped that Shen An'an wouldn't rush to find a father for their child. Shen An'an immediately became angry and stated that her love life was none of his concern. Shi Yue came to the hospital with a small gift to see Ren Xinyi. Ren Yiming saw her and took her straight home, warning her not to approach Shen An'an and her daughter.
It was the tenth anniversary of Yunhai Company, and Ren Yiming and Shi Yue went to the event together. It also happened to be Ren Xinyi's birthday, so Ren Yiming specially bought a cake and put it in the car. Shi Yue saw it and felt extremely jealous, asking Ren Yiming to buy her a gift as well. During the company reception, one of the activities was to select the most adorable new employee. Shi Yue was determined to win, but in the end, Chen Shanhai announced that the winner was Xu Kexin, who was well-liked by everyone. Shi Yue looked at Xu Kexin, feeling very angry.
Shi Yue went to find Ren Yiming, hoping to dance with him, but Xu Kexin appeared and took Ren Yiming away. Shen An'an stayed with Ren Xinyi in the hospital, and Lin Yao brought gifts and a cake. They celebrated Ren Xinyi's birthday together, waiting for Ren Yiming to arrive because Ren Xinyi had promised to celebrate her birthday with her father.
Episode 18 Recap
At the company's anniversary party, Xu Kexin danced with Ren Yiming. Shi Yue couldn't stand Xu Kexin and glared at her the whole time, while Chen Shanhai smiled knowingly as he watched the situation unfold. Ren Fei arrived at the party and saw Xu Kexin dancing with Ren Yiming. She asked Wen Hao about Xu Kexin's background and was delighted to hear that she was Shi Yue's rival. Shi Yue couldn't stand it anymore and directly approached them. Ren Yiming pulled Shi Yue aside and asked her to go home first. Shi Yue protested, saying that he wanted to abandon her and spend time with Shen An'an and their daughter. In order to prevent him from seeing Xinyi, she deliberately dropped the cake that Ren Yiming had brought for her on the ground. Seeing the shattered cake on the ground, Ren Yiming couldn't help but push Shi Yue away. He had promised Xinyi that he wouldn't let her down again, but now even the cake was gone, and he feared he would disappoint Xinyi once more.
Xinyi fell asleep waiting for her father. Shen An'an sat beside her, memorizing her lines for a program. Thinking about Xinyi's comment that Lin Yao was lonely, Shen An'an cut a piece of cake and went to Lin Yao's ward. Shen An'an and Lin Yao talked about dumplings, and Shen An'an mentioned that if they weren't in the hospital, she would have made dumplings for Xinyi to eat. Lin Yao explained the significance of eating dumplings and how it symbolizes change by sharing the historical background.
After putting down the cake, Lin Yao gathered the courage to tell Shen An'an that if she could stand by his side, he would never let her walk alone. He then embraced Shen An'an and expressed his feelings for her. Lin Yao knew that Shen An'an would reject him. He understood that she had many concerns, so he told her to go ahead and do what she wanted. He simply wanted to confess his feelings. At that moment, fireworks bloomed outside the window. Shen An'an watched the colorful fireworks, mirroring her mood, and agreed to celebrate Xinyi's birthday with Lin Yao next year.
In the morning, Chen Shanhai invited Ren Yiming to ride bicycles together. He told Ren Yiming the reason for calling him out and confessed that he had also had a very happy family before, but he messed it up. However, Ren Yiming's situation was worse than his own. Chen Shanhai told Ren Yiming that he intended to make him leave the company. Now that everyone in the company and their business partners knew about his personal matters, it was not only to save the company's face but also to make Shi Yue leave him. Once Ren Yiming lost his job, Shi Yue would leave him too.
Chen Shanhai also called Shi Yue and gave her the probation assessment form, informing her that she didn't pass the probation period. Shi Yue was dissatisfied with the company's evaluation of her, and Chen Shanhai reminded her not to be too self-centered. He also informed her about Ren Yiming's impending resignation. Wen Hao asked Ren Yiming why he hadn't broken up with Shi Yue yet, and Ren Yiming said that leaving her now would mean he was irresponsible to her. Wen Hao looked at Ren Yiming, disappointed in his lack of determination, and scolded him loudly, saying that it was his retribution and his actions had been very disappointing. Shi Yue came out of the company and overheard their conversation, feeling very uncomfortable.
To ensure smooth live broadcasts in the future, Liang Yuan invited Shen An'an to her home for a meeting. Shen An'an noticed that Liang Yuan was sick, so she brewed ginger tea for her. Shen An'an was in a different state compared to her usual self during the previous live broadcasts. Liang Yuan asked her about her concerns and the reasons behind it. Shen An'an confessed that many of the ingredients used last time were molds, but she wanted to express her cooking mood sincerely, not just as self-encouragement but also as a genuine gesture to everyone.
After losing his job, Ren Yiming prepared to terminate the lease and find a cheap house online to save expenses. Shi Yue, knowing that both of them were unemployed but still spending money recklessly, started arguing with him. Shi Yue didn't care about it and demanded that Ren Yiming get the house back. In any case, he had to take responsibility for himself. After work, Shen An'an stayed behind at the company to finish her work, and Lin Yao saw her and helped her complete it.
Shen An'an brought Xinyi to Starry Talent for a program recording. Liang Yuan instructed the staff on the details of their work and asked them to listen to Shen An'an's opinions more. Shen An'an was very nervous during her first recording and forgot her lines. With encouragement from Liang Yuan, she successfully completed the recording. The program received a good response as soon as it aired.
When Ren Yiming returned from a job interview, he didn't bring anything for Shi Yue to eat. Shi Yue blamed him for it, and Ren Yiming became angry. He was busy looking for work while Shi Yue refused to do any housework. Ren Yiming asked Shi Yue to pack her bags as they couldn't afford the rent anymore. Shi Yue was dissatisfied and unwilling to endure hardships with Ren Yiming. Ren Yiming said she could leave anytime if she didn't want to be with him.
After the program aired, Shen An'an gained many fans. Even at the car dealership where she worked, fans would come to buy cars because of her. Shen An'an used her influence to expand her resources, and Lin Yao gave her a raise. However, it didn't come with a bonus due to the short duration of the project. Shen An'an couldn't believe the amount of her salary and was extremely happy. Lin Yao told her that she deserved it, which made Shen An'an very grateful.
As soon as Shen An'an left the office, Ren Fei hurriedly came to tell her about Xinyi's fight at school. Xinyi had dirtied a classmate's pencil case and made the classmate bleed. Shen An'an tried to ask Xinyi about it, but she refused to talk. Ren Fei privately told Shen An'an the reason behind Xinyi throwing the pencil case. She found out that Xinyi had a conflict because a classmate said she didn't have a father. Shen An'an bought a new stationery set and asked Xinyi to apologize, but she refused. Xinyi already knew that her parents were divorced. Shen An'an realized that divorce had a significant impact on children, but she still had to work to support her family.
In the evening, Shen An'an searched online for the latest updates on Xinyi's situation and came across Zhao Yimei, a psychological counselor, who happened to be Lin Yao's mother. Shen An'an decided to seek advice from Lin's mother.
Episode 19 Recap
Shen An'an sought change for Xinyi and found a psychological expert named Lin Mu online. So she went to Lin Yao's house to consult with Lin Mu. Through Lin Mu's guidance, Shen An'an realized that Xinyi lacked a sense of security from her family, and the child still needed fatherly love.
Upon hearing his mother mention the reason for Shen An'an's leave, Lin Yao brought camping tools to Shen An'an's house. Lin Yao accompanied Xinyi to play, and Shen An'an happily watched the two of them. Lin Yao and Shen An'an talked about Xinyi's situation. Shen An'an felt guilty for not taking good care of Xinyi and felt remorseful psychologically. Lin Yao comforted Shen An'an and advised her to give more time to Xinyi. He believed that Xinyi was not as fragile as she imagined. After being enlightened, Shen An'an became more open-minded.
Shen An'an called Ren Yiming and made an appointment with him at home to discuss Xinyi's matter. Both of them realized their mistakes regarding Xinyi's situation. Ren Yiming proposed to take care of Xinyi for a while since he was free at the moment. After Shen An'an made sure that he wouldn't involve Shi Yue, she agreed. Shen An'an still worried about Xinyi's situation and was absent-minded at work. Lin Yao didn't demand her to regain her previous state as a mother; he just wanted her to be a good Shen An'an. However, Shen An'an decided to work together with her ex-husband Ren Yiming to create a good family atmosphere for Xinyi. She confessed her thoughts to Lin Yao.
After work, Ren Yiming brought Xinyi to the car shop to find Shen An'an. The three of them, as a family, went to eat seafood. Lin Yao looked at Shen An'an and Ren Yiming together and felt uncomfortable. Shen An'an's family and Ren Fei's couple went to eat seafood together. Ren Yiming peeled the shrimp for Shen An'an, and Shen An'an discreetly handed the shrimp to Xinyi, leaving Ren Yiming feeling dejected. Wen Hao took a photo of everyone eating and posted it on his social media. Shi Yue saw it and angrily tore Ren Yiming's resume into pieces.
One morning, Wen Hao found a medical report in the trash can. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that Ren Fei was pregnant and prepared breakfast for her. However, Ren Fei felt it was not the right time and wanted to have an abortion because she believed that neither Shen An'an nor Ren Yiming could take care of the family, and they had even less confidence. Ren Yiming sent Shen An'an and Xinyi to record a program. Xinyi was very happy to see her parents together. While Shen An'an took Xinyi to the bathroom, Liang Yuan had a brief conversation with Ren Yiming, asking about his future plans. Ren Yiming awkwardly smiled and admitted he didn't know what he could do.
Seeing Shen An'an's family happy and harmonious, Lin Yao felt very distressed. Lin Mu saw through his worries and used her and Lin Yao's father's experience to enlighten him. Lin Mu mentioned that she used to have meals with Lin Yao's father frequently because of Lin Yao, and eventually, they became friends. Lin Mu also told Lin Yao that he shouldn't leave during this time because it was an opportunity for him to become someone the other person could rely on.
After returning from the amusement park, Ren Yiming brought Xinyi and Shen An'an back home from work. As soon as Shen An'an arrived home, she saw Shi Yue entering with luggage, saying that she planned to stay at home. Ren Yiming immediately rushed back home upon knowing this and dragged Shi Yue out of the house. Shi Yue was unhappy with Ren Yiming's differential treatment and expressed her unwillingness to suffer with him. She changed her mind and asked Ren Yiming to kick Shen An'an out, stating that she would be a good mother for Xinyi.
Chen Shanhai came to the company's store to inspect the clothing and saw a piece of women's clothing that was too masculine. She requested the designer to redesign it. Chen Shanhai believed that women's clothing should highlight femininity, otherwise, men wouldn't pay much attention to them. Reporters surrounded Chen Shanhai, asking for his opinion on Yunhai's recent fashion show. Some commented that the women's clothing was too explicit and had suspicions of being overly provocative. Chen Shanhai said their remarks were too one-sided, and he, for example, was willing to pay for women's sensuality.
In the morning, when Liang Yuan was looking at her phone, she saw the news about Chen Shanhai being attacked by netizens and the media for inappropriate remarks, along with rumors about his numerous girlfriends and affairs, which led to Yunhai being labeled as a company that objectifies women to please men. Liang Yuan couldn't help but mock him, calling him a fool. Although they parted ways unhappily, they used to be in a romantic relationship. Chen Shanhai refused to apologize, but his competitors kept fueling the fire, so he continuously hired PR teams to find a satisfactory solution. One PR company proposed sponsoring a women's program. Chen Shanhai approved and decided to sponsor the upcoming program of Xingrui in an attempt to change Yunhai's image in the eyes of women.
Chen Shanhai came to Xingrui to wait for Liang Yuan to finish work. He told her about his idea of sponsoring the program. They talked about past events, and Liang Yuan confessed that she agreed to date him in the beginning because she thought Chen Shanhai was similar to her, but he looked down on her and women in general.
Episode 20 Recap
Ren Fei cried to Shen An'an about the child's situation. Shen An'an pointed out that Ren Fei did indeed do something wrong and comforted her, saying that she would have enough strength when she became a mother. Wen Hao knew about Ren Fei's concerns, so he went to the hospital to learn how to take care of children. He successfully obtained a certificate as a qualified new father. Ren Fei was deeply moved when she saw Wen Hao's efforts for the family, and she let go of her worries about having a child.
Ren Yiming returned home to retrieve Shi Yue's luggage. He told Shen An'an that he had decided to work in another city so that Shi Yue wouldn't bother them anymore. Shen An'an agreed with his decision and hoped that as Xinyi's parents, they could fulfill their parental responsibilities. Wen Hao helped Ren Yiming find a job in another city. Wen Hao asked about his situation with Shen An'an, and Ren Yiming said that Shen An'an had already forgiven him. However, he knew very well that they no longer had a chance together, and Shen An'an no longer harbored any resentment towards him.
Shen An'an went to the car dealership, and Lin Yao asked her about the contract issue with Liang Yuan. Shen An'an learned that it was just a cooperative contract and Lin Yao proposed that she become the spokesperson for the company's headquarters, reflecting the spirit of the new era of women. Shen An'an was initially lacking in confidence, but Lin Yao detailed the excellent qualities he saw in her, which made Shen An'an happy and grateful.
Lin Yao took Shen An'an out to dinner, and they went to the place where they had previously bumped into each other at the café. They had a pleasant conversation throughout the meal. When they were holding hands, they ran into Ren Yiming. Shen An'an quickly let go of Lin Yao's hand, and Lin Yao felt uncomfortable seeing this. He suggested that the three of them have dinner together, but Ren Yiming refused, using the excuse of having an interview. He knew that there was no longer a possibility between him and Shen An'an, and it was his own retribution.
Ren Yiming went to a company he had previously worked with for an interview. He was troubled by the low salary offered. Expanding overseas would bring a higher salary, but he thought about leaving Xinyi behind, so he declined the option and said he would consider it again. After Ren Yiming left, he met up with Wen Hao, who asked about his future plans and his feelings for Shi Yue. Ren Yiming felt that being with Shi Yue now was like punishing himself.
When Shi Yue heard that Ren Yiming wanted to work in another city, she was very unhappy and opposed his decision. Ren Yiming insisted on going to work and proposed that they live separately. Shi Yue accused him of wanting to abandon her, but Ren Yiming said he never said he wanted to abandon her. Seeing that Shi Yue wouldn't listen to reason, Ren Yiming felt helpless. While Ren Yiming was out getting documents, Shi Yue started a livestream to express her views on being the third party. She accused Ren Yiming of leaving all their property to his ex-wife and blamed Shen An'an for being heartless, forcing Shen An'an to make concessions.
Shi Yue originally wanted to use public opinion to seek justice for herself, and Shen An'an was indeed affected by public opinion. In addition to accusing Ren Yiming of being a scumbag, the public also thought Shi Yue had gone too far as the third party. Their actions were criticized by many people, and even the owner of the restaurant refused to serve them food. Dejected, Ren Yiming returned home, and Shi Yue was upset that he didn't bring back the food she wanted to eat, so she decided to buy it herself.
Shi Yue went to the restaurant and ordered food from the owner. The owner recognized her and accused her of being more poisonous than arsenic in her heart. She also stated that she wouldn't sell food to the mistress who stole someone else's husband. Shi Yue argued back but eventually ran back home dejectedly as the argument escalated. Angry, she complained to Ren Yiming about the owner downstairs and urged him to move out quickly. Ren Yiming became very angry after hearing this, believing that all of this was caused by Shi Yue publicly exposing their situation. After a big argument, Ren Yiming left the house. He sought refuge with Ren Fei and Wen Hao, while Shi Yue sat on the floor all night.
Some internet users' extreme comments indicated that this incident damaged Shen An'an's positive and healthy image. Liang Yuan was furious when she saw the public opinion, and Chen Shanhai said that he would have the company team help handle it, but he hoped that Liang Yuan could help him with a livestream. On the other hand, Lin Yao was also worried about Shen An'an and searched for evidence and contacted lawyers to help Shen An'an clarify the situation. Chen Shanhai apologized to the public through a livestream for his previous remarks. Liang Yuan was pleased to see the change Chen Shanhai made and genuinely felt happy for him.
Colleagues at the car dealership were discussing Shen An'an's family affairs, but Shen An'an was not affected. Lin Yao asked Shen An'an to come out, saying that they needed to discuss the spokesperson matter with the company headquarters. After hearing this, Ren Fei volunteered to take on the task of picking up and dropping off Xinyi. Shi Yue, with ulterior motives, was not willing to give up and arrived at the school early, intending to take Xinyi away and use her to change Ren Yiming's mind.
Episode 21 Recap
Shi Yue told the kindergarten teacher that she was Shen An'an and came to pick up Ren Xinyi. The teacher called Shen An'an, but coincidentally, Shen An'an had asked Ren Fei to pick up Ren Xinyi from school today and had not verified Shi Yue's identity. Shi Yue took Ren Xinyi and brought her to the amusement park.
Ren Fei waited at the school for a long time but didn't see Ren Xinyi coming out. She hurriedly called Shen An'an, who immediately contacted the teacher and learned that Shi Yue had taken Ren Xinyi. Lin Yao noticed Shen An'an's anxiety and explained the situation to the clients before leaving with her. Shen An'an called Shi Yue, and Shi Yue arrogantly stated that she wanted to make them all taste the feeling of losing the most important person. Shen An'an heard the sound of amusement park rides through the phone, and Lin Yao accompanied her in searching for them. Meanwhile, Ren Yiming returned home but couldn't find Shi Yue, so he hurriedly drove out to look for her.
The amusement park was about to close, and Ren Xinyi insisted on going home. At that moment, Ren Yiming, Lin Yao, and Shen An'an arrived, and Ren Xinyi ran to Shen An'an. Ren Yiming picked up Ren Xinyi, and Shen An'an slapped Shi Yue and warned her not to have any ill intentions towards Ren Xinyi. Shen An'an made it clear that she would not forgive her if she did, as it was her bottom line as a mother. Shi Yue looked at Ren Yiming expectantly, hoping he would help her, but he completely ignored her. The three of them took Ren Xinyi home, leaving Shi Yue sitting on the ground crying. Shen An'an explained to Ren Yiming that Shi Yue behaved this way because Ren Yiming had broken up with her. Ren Yiming assured Shen An'an that he would take care of Shi Yue. Lin Yao stood at the door and advised Ren Yiming to make plans early and not let things get worse.
After resolving the Yunhai incident, Chen Shanhai invited Liang Yuan to a gathering. He asked if he still had a chance with her and admitted that he knew he was really in the wrong. Liang Yuan said that it was all in the past, but they could consider the cooperation between Xingrui and Yunhai. After returning home, Ren Yiming packed his bags to go to another city. Shi Yue cautiously requested that Ren Yiming take her with him, but he stated that he wouldn't be with someone who harmed Ren Xinyi. He also extended the lease for another two months and asked Shi Yue to find a job on her own. Ren Yiming spent the morning playing with Ren Xinyi and told her that he would be leaving for work for some time. It was only after coaxing from Ren Yiming that Ren Xinyi reluctantly let him go.
Before leaving, Shen An'an made dumplings for Ren Yiming. While eating the dumplings they used to enjoy, Ren Yiming praised how delicious they were. He ate while feeling sad, realizing that the dumplings were the same as before, but people had changed. Their relationship couldn't go back to how it was. Before leaving, Shen An'an gave Ren Yiming a group photo of the three of them, and Ren Yiming asked for a hug from Shen An'an. Shen An'an had already let go and embraced him generously.
Shen An'an bought coffee near the company, and Ren Fei suddenly ran over and told her not to go back to the company because someone from the company headquarters came to investigate Lin Yao, and it was related to Shen An'an. Shen An'an hurriedly went to find the people from the company headquarters to explain the situation because of what Lin Yao said, and Lin Yao happened to overhear. Lin Yao thanked Shen An'an and told her that the person in charge was very appreciative of her performance.
Shen An'an's new program recording went smoothly, and Liang Yuan was very pleased with her performance. She invited Shen An'an to go out with Ren Xinyi for the weekend. Shen An'an was unsure if Ren Xinyi could go because Ren Yiming had promised to spend the weekend with her. Meanwhile, Ren Yiming's work in another city was going well, and he was highly valued by his boss. There was even a plan for him to work overseas, but Ren Yiming was considering it because he wanted to be with Ren Xinyi. Shen An'an saw Ren Fei starting to work hard for her child and encouraged her to be her own manager.
Ren Yiming hurriedly returned to the dormitory but didn't notice that Shi Yue was hiding nearby and watching him. Shi Yue initially wanted to follow him into the dormitory but was stopped by security. Shi Yue asked about Ren Yiming's address and inquired about nearby places to live before leaving, capturing the location of the company where Ren Yiming worked. Wen Hao asked about Ren Yiming's current situation and learned that he had turned down the opportunity to go overseas for the sake of his family, which made him feel emotional. Ren Fei asked if Ren Yiming had someone new in his heart, and although she had initially considered reconciling Shen An'an and Ren Yiming, Shen An'an now wanted to start a new life. The three of them couldn't help but feel regretful about this marriage. Wen Hao accidentally mentioned Shi Yue, but since Ren Yiming left, no one had any news about her.
Following the agreement, Shen An'an went to Lin Yao's house with Ren Xinyi as guests. Lin's mother looked at the drawings Ren Xinyi had made and told Shen An'an that it was normal for a child and that the weight of a father had not disappeared. Shen An'an was very happy to hear this.
Episode 22 Recap
Shen An'an was cooking at Lin Yao's house, and Lin Yao rushed over to help. Their intimate actions gradually deepened their feelings. During the meal, Lin Yao secretly held Shen An'an's hand under the table. Shen An'an felt embarrassed and pulled away when Lin's mother noticed. After dinner, Lin Yao accompanied them as they left, and he asked Shen An'an if she had time tomorrow. He expressed his constant desire to see her and asked when he could openly hold her hand. Shen An'an said she wasn't ready yet and rejected Lin Yao's straightforward confession. Disappointed, Lin Yao told her he was willing to wait until she no longer cared about others' concerns and accepted him.
During the weekend, Ren Yiming returned home and took Ren Xinyi out to play. Shen An'an was at home thinking about Lin Yao's confession and couldn't help but call him. Shen An'an missed Lin Yao but couldn't express it clearly. Lin Yao thought something had happened to Shen An'an and rushed to her house. Shen An'an told him she planned to buy some potted plants and asked if he wanted to go for a walk together. Lin Yao was delighted and, while shopping together with Shen An'an, they ran into Liang Yuan. Lin Yao complimented Liang Yuan for being cute, and Shen An'an admitted that she could praise him but he couldn't. Lin Yao sensed Shen An'an's jealousy, but Shen An'an awkwardly made an excuse and left.
Since Ren Yiming wanted to watch a soccer game in the evening, he returned home early with Ren Xinyi. When Ren Yiming saw Lin Yao, he asked him to stay and watch the game together. Later, when Lin Yao left in the evening, Ren Yiming asked him seriously if his feelings for Shen An'an were genuine. He believed that Lin Yao was still young and could be tempted by many things around him. Lin Yao acknowledged that it was Ren Yiming's actions that had hurt Shen An'an and firmly stated that he wouldn't let her get hurt.
In the morning, Ren Yiming prepared to leave, and Ren Xinyi bid him farewell. She asked if he had time to accompany her to her handicraft class. Ren Yiming was hesitant because he had an important meeting that day. Ren Xinyi told him that if he couldn't come back, she could go to Uncle Lin Yao. Hearing this, Ren Yiming felt sad but told Ren Xinyi to first confirm Lin Yao's availability. After Ren Xinyi went back inside, she called Lin Yao on Shen An'an's behalf, asking if he had time to accompany her to the handicraft class. Lin Yao gladly agreed.
Ren Yiming returned to the employee dormitory to organize files, and Shi Yue suddenly called him. When Ren Yiming saw her name on the incoming call, he decisively hung up. Unbeknownst to him, Shi Yue was in the dormitory next to his. Shi Yue noticed that Ren Yiming didn't answer her call and smugly said that he couldn't hide from her. As expected, the next day, Ren Yiming was informed that a new executive had arrived at the company, and it was Shi Yue. Ren Yiming was shocked to see Shi Yue. He pondered over it and made a late-night call to his boss, requesting to work overseas. Early the next day, when Shi Yue didn't see Ren Yiming, she asked the boss about his whereabouts, but the boss refused to pay attention to her and frankly told her that Ren Yiming had gone abroad for work, without a fixed return date.
During Ren Xinyi's handicraft class, Lin Yao kept his promise and accompanied her. Some parents who didn't know their family situation started spreading rumors upon seeing Lin Yao, but he stared back at them without reservation. After school, the three of them held hands and went out to eat, creating a warm scene. Lin Yao went to Shen An'an's workplace and asked if she had time in the evening because he had something to tell her.
Ren Yiming went to the car dealership and told Shen An'an about Shi Yue's situation. To avoid Shi Yue's harassment, Ren Yiming decided to apply for a transfer overseas. Shen An'an was worried that Ren Xinyi wouldn't accept it, so Ren Yiming suggested they have a meal together and find time to appease Ren Xinyi. Eventually, with Ren Yiming's persuasion, Ren Xinyi accepted the fact that Ren Yiming would be unavailable for their weekend plans due to overseas work.
Lin Yao originally wanted to invite Shen An'an to watch a play and left the admission ticket on her table. However, Shen An'an was preoccupied with Ren Xinyi's matters and didn't notice the ticket, forgetting about her promise to Lin Yao. Lin Yao stood alone at the door until the end of the play, feeling disappointed. Lin Yao thought Shen An'an had received the ticket and chose to go with Ren Yiming. The next day at the company, without even changing his clothes, Lin Yao sternly questioned himself about when he would become important in her heart. After speaking, Lin Yao realized he had lost control of himself and decided he needed some time alone. As he was leaving, Lin Yao received a call from Ren Yiming, who wanted to talk to him because he would be leaving the next day.
Episode 23 Recap
Lin Yao arrived at the agreed location with Ren Yiming. Ren Yiming told him that he decided to go overseas to avoid Shi Yue but couldn't let go of Shen An'an and Ren Xinyi. He was worried that Shi Yue would come after them. Lin Yao knew that Shi Yue would not give up unless she couldn't find Ren Yiming. Ren Yiming hoped that Lin Yao would take good care of Shen An'an and Ren Xinyi. He believed that Lin Yao would do a better job than himself. Lin Yao assured him that he would take good care of them and it would be his happiest thing if Shen An'an accepted him.
Shi Yue went to the subsidiary company in the downtown area near the company but couldn't find Ren Yiming. She asked Sun, the general manager, but he refused to tell her. Shi Yue couldn't reach Ren Yiming's phone and heard noises from a room. She discovered that someone else was staying in Ren Yiming's room and found out that Ren Yiming had run away overseas. She hurriedly went to the station to inquire about transportation to Donghai.
Ren Yiming wrote a letter to Shen An'an, confessing that he had seen Lin Yao. He had to admit that Lin Yao was a trustworthy person, and he even felt a bit jealous. He apologized to Shen An'an for his previous behavior and hoped she could believe in marriage and men and find her own happiness. Ren Yiming asked Shen An'an to tell Ren Xinyi that he would be very busy at first but would call her once he sorted things out.
When Shi Yue arrived in Donghai, she happened to see Ren Yiming leaving in a taxi. Shi Yue cried out Ren Yiming's name and chased after the taxi, but she ultimately couldn't catch up. Ren Yiming left Shi Yue, and she had to try to let go of him. Three months later, when her lease expired, Shi Yue was urged by her landlord to move out. Due to her previous bad reputation and the short duration of her previous job, no company was willing to hire her, and she didn't have money to pay the rent. Shi Yue left the house with her luggage and went to a bar alone, drowning her sorrows. There, she encountered a foreigner.
Shen An'an and Liang Yuan finished recording the program together, and their relationship became very close through their collaboration. Ren Fei became Shen An'an's agent, and Shen An'an gained many endorsements after becoming popular. Ren Fei recommended many products to her, but Shen An'an insisted on trying them herself before recommending them, not wanting to let her fans down.
As usual, Lin Yao came to pick up Shen An'an after work, but to their surprise, they were surrounded by reporters before they could even exchange a few words. When asked about their relationship, Shen An'an stated that Lin Yao was just her boss, which greatly disappointed him. Reporters asked Lin Yao about his ideal type, and he answered that she should be kind, beautiful, and generous, with every word perfectly describing Shen An'an. The reporters also asked Shen An'an some questions, but she kept avoiding questions about her love life.
Lin Yao felt extremely disappointed with Shen An'an's attitude. He rejected her invitation to watch a play together in the evening and sat alone in the restaurant, feeling distressed. Shi Yue approached Lin Yao after striking up a conversation with the foreigner she met at the bar. They coincidentally ended up having a meal together at the restaurant. Shi Yue noticed Lin Yao and walked over triumphantly, mocking her current lonely situation. Shi Yue claimed that she was doing very well but regretted wasting her youth on Ren Yiming. After the conversation, Shi Yue returned to the foreign man to continue drinking, completely unaware that she was being watched.
After parting ways with the foreign man, Shi Yue was abducted by his wife. The foreign man's wife grabbed Shi Yue by the hair and brutally beat her, warning her to stay away from her husband. Shi Yue realized that she had been deceived. Before losing consciousness, Shi Yue called the hospital. When she regained consciousness, she called Ren Yiming and Shen An'an's numbers, but the hospital couldn't reach them.
The next day, Shen An'an answered the hospital's call. She went to the hospital and saw Shi Yue lying in a hospital bed, considering it her retribution. Remembering the help Shi Yue's family had given her, she softened and helped Shi Yue with the medical expenses. Ren Fei's belly grew bigger day by day, and Wen Hao began taking responsibility. He experienced the process of childbirth and searched the internet for information about having a baby. Wen Hao contacted Shen An'an and asked her for advice on how to make dumplings.
While Shen An'an was making dumplings, Lin Yao came to her house unexpectedly. Lin Yao confessed to Shen An'an that he knew she had invited him to watch the play but he didn't go, using illness as an excuse. Finally, he asked Shen An'an how she viewed their relationship and whether she was still afraid of loving someone else. Shen An'an said that some things need to be taken slowly. Lin Yao bitterly smiled, saying that this slow process was torturous. He just wanted to know if Shen An'an would seriously consider their future if she wasn't afraid. Shen An'an admitted that she was afraid to take it further and worried about losing everything she had in front of her. She needed more time to carefully consider. Lin Yao felt extremely down but chose to respect Shen An'an. He would be willing to wait. Shen An'an watched Lin Yao's desolate figure as he walked away, feeling hesitant.
Shen An'an brought food to Lin Yao's office as usual but found it empty. She inquired and learned that Lin Yao had applied for vacation abroad and left the management department in her care. Shen An'an worried about Lin Yao and went to ask Lin's mother. Lin's mother told Shen An'an not to worry, as Lin Yao needed time to calm down and think.
Shi Yue woke up in the hospital and asked the nurse when she could be discharged and if she could be transferred to a regular ward because she couldn't afford the medical expenses. The nurse told her that Shen An'an had already paid for her medical expenses and said she wouldn't come again. Shi Yue recalled Shen An'an's past kindness towards her and couldn't help but burst into tears, realizing how badly she had treated her.

Episode 24 (Ending) Recap
Shen An'an returned to her seat feeling down and saw the video left by Lin Yao. He asked Shen An'an to give him some time and promised to come back once he figured things out. He told her that if she missed him, she could check his new account to see his updates. Shen An'an couldn't help but shed tears as she opened his account and saw her own photo on his message page.
After being discharged from the hospital, Shi Yue was kicked out by her landlord. She wandered around with her luggage, nowhere to go. Shi Yue went to Shen An'an's house again, reminiscing about the good times they had together. She realized that Shen An'an was the one who truly treated her well and felt guilty for her past behavior. Not wanting to disturb Shen An'an, she quietly left, preparing to go back overseas and start anew.
Ren Fei, who was in the late stage of pregnancy, experienced bleeding. Wen Hao thought the baby was coming and hurriedly called Shen An'an. They rushed to the hospital only to find out it was a false alarm. Liang Yuan told Shen An'an that they decided to include a live broadcasting segment during the program event. In this segment, Shen An'an would share her experiences with everyone and invite the live audience to participate. They would compile videos sent by the audience related to the theme "Only Once in Life" to encourage more people.
Lin Yao shared his story with Shen An'an and occasionally sent her gifts and postcards. Shen An'an felt a sense of happiness as she looked at what Lin Yao shared. Ren Yiming had just returned from abroad and brought a bouquet of flowers to Shen An'an's workplace. Ren Yiming heard that Shen An'an wasn't with Lin Yao and still hoped to reconcile with her, but he knew that Shen An'an had Lin Yao in her heart. Shen An'an heard a colleague mention that someone came to see her. She went downstairs and saw someone holding a bouquet of flowers. Thinking it was Lin Yao returning, she turned around only to realize it was Ren Yiming. They met like old friends, had a meal together, and went to the hospital to see the pregnant Ren Fei.
At night, Ren Yiming told stories to put Ren Xinyi to sleep, and Shen An'an received a message from Lin Yao. Shen An'an was extremely happy and asked when he would be back because she missed him. She also had an answer to his question in her heart. Lin Yao joyfully looked at the message sent by Shen An'an but suddenly lost signal on his phone. He anxiously searched while walking but didn't notice a motorcycle speeding towards him from behind. Lin Yao was knocked down and fainted on the ground.
Before the start of the program, a recording session took place where Liang Yuan and Shen An'an asked everyone to share their "Only Once in Life" experiences. After the recording, Liang Yuan asked who Shen An'an wanted to invite for the event. Shen An'an hesitated, staring at her phone in a daze, realizing that Lin Yao hadn't contacted her for a long time. Shen An'an knew that Lin Yao had taken many steps towards her, but she had been avoiding him. Liang Yuan shared her own experience with Shen An'an, mentioning that she had once met someone who treated her very well but felt it was too early and didn't make any promises, resulting in them missing each other. Liang Yuan advised Shen An'an to grasp her own happiness.
The program "Only Once in Life" started airing, and Shen An'an shared her story during the program. She expressed gratitude to those who had helped her after her divorce and urged everyone to cherish the people around them. Liang Yuan appeared on stage and revealed that she had invited a special guest, which turned out to be Ren Yiming. Before the program started, Liang Yuan found Ren Yiming, knowing that he still had feelings for Shen An'an, and hoped he would give himself a chance and not have any regrets.
During the program, Ren Yiming admitted that his only chance was the mistake of having an affair. He knew it was irreparable and decided to help a friend fulfill their one and only chance in life. Then, Lin Yao's video appeared on the big screen. Lin Yao sat in the hospital room and shared his story with everyone. He expressed his feelings for Shen An'an, which greatly excited her. The program hadn't ended yet, but she hurriedly went to the airport to pick up Lin Yao. Lin Yao had taken 99 steps towards her, and she decided it was her turn to run towards him. Shen An'an happily ran out of the program recording scene, as if running freely in the field towards her own light. The door to a new world of happiness for the two of them was about to open.
