When Gu Yi was at work, she saw Leila being cyberbullied, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. Guan Xingxin was also implicated, making her a target of attacks as well. Zhang Junjie, who was also at work, saw this and immediately tore down the posters on the wall, urging his coworkers to return to work. Gu Yi had thought Zhang Junjie disliked Guan Xingxin, but surprisingly, Zhang Junjie was the only one helping her in this situation.

Gu Yi felt that the "female villain" she once knew was now like a bright and fierce protector. Guan Xingxin remained unfazed by the commotion. Liang Daiwen came to see Leila, aware that this incident had greatly upset her, yet he assured her that it wasn’t her fault. Hearing him say that, Leila teared up. She explained that she, too, had been deceived, not knowing the man was married.

As soon as she found out, she ended the relationship, but people still criticized her relentlessly. Guan Xingxin sincerely told Leila that she hadn’t known any of this and had no intention of hurting her. Leila sensed Guan Xingxin’s honesty and realized she may have misunderstood her. Due to a copyright issue with someone else’s video, Gu Yi was temporarily muted and couldn't perform her stand-up routine that evening.

Liang Daiwen didn’t comment on it but took the chance to clarify to Gu Yi that he and Leila weren’t romantically involved. Gu Yi was taken aback, but then her mother Wang Meixia called, easing the awkward atmosphere. Gu Yi knew her mother missed her, and after hanging up, she felt hopeful about the future. As she packed her things, she accidentally fell, prompting Liang Daiwen to rush over.

Gu Yi mentioned she’d be away for a couple of days, and while packing, she started sharing stories from her childhood. She told Liang Daiwen that her parents divorced when she was young, and her mother worked tirelessly to support her. Mid-sentence, she noticed Liang Daiwen looking stunned, reminded of his own difficult childhood, which made him feel uneasy. Returning home, Gu Yi found Wang Meixia with He Yongjun.

She didn’t mind her mother dating, as long as it brought her happiness. Liang Daiwen consulted his therapist, expressing interest in a girl. The therapist, however, advised that Liang Daiwen might not be ready for a relationship, as he wasn’t yet in the right emotional state, though Liang felt that his feelings wouldn’t interfere with his life. The therapist warned him against idealizing things too much, as it could lead to harm.

Back home, Gu Yi’s mother pressured her to go on a blind date. Gu Yi returned and found Liang Daiwen acting overly concerned, seeming different from before. Living with him felt surprisingly comforting, though Gu Yi felt a bit embarrassed when he caught her secretly recording him. At night, she even dreamt about Liang Daiwen and felt herself increasingly drawn to Xu Guanrui at work.

Meanwhile, Liang Daiwen bought a strange indigo bowl at the supermarket, so peculiar that even the shop assistant commented it might affect one’s appetite. Xu Guanrui felt Gu Yi was unique, while Gu Yi felt that Liang Daiwen looked more attractive each day. Gu Yi liked the idea of having a complete family. Liang Daiwen, however, had a tragic childhood, haunted by nightmares every night.
