In Heidelberg, Germany, Zhu Jiu arrived at a grand palace-like mansion as a family doctor. The butler showed her around. Zhu Jiu was curious why the rooms had to be lit but not the curtains opened. The butler explained that it was the master's preference and must not be disturbed. He also told Zhu Jiu to keep her voice down in the house. The butler, in passing, asked if she was afraid of dogs, especially strange-tempered ones. Zhu Jiu replied that she wasn't afraid, and the butler then led her upstairs.

Upon reaching the upstairs, Zhu Jiu was surprised to find Fu Yunshen sitting in a wheelchair, his face pale. Fu Yunshen immediately recognized Zhu Jiu and coldly told her to leave. Zhu Jiu squatted in front of him, asking what had happened and why he was in a wheelchair. Fu Yunshen didn't respond and instead yelled for her to get out, looking almost insane. Zhu Jiu was frightened by Fu Yunshen's condition and left the room with her belongings. The butler also noticed Zhu Jiu, but she left without saying a word.

After Zhu Jiu left, Fu Yunshen let out a sigh of relief and tears welled up in his eyes. The story began two years ago in Shanghai, China, where Fu Yunshen was a wealthy young man, although he rode a bicycle to work every day. The shareholders' meeting of Lingtian Pharmaceuticals was about to begin, and everyone was waiting for Fu Yunshen to start the meeting. When he arrived, he introduced the project plan, which received everyone's approval. Fu Yunshen was soon leaving for a business trip.

Meanwhile, in Heidelberg, Germany, Zhu Jiu suddenly woke up from a nightmare. She had unpleasant memories from her childhood. While she was at work, she received a call from her uncle, asking for her help with medical treatment. Zhu Jiu hesitated but couldn't refuse. She had psychological trauma but said she needed some time to consider.

Fu Yunshen had a brother named Fu Xizhou. Fu Yunshen told his brother about his plans to visit the United States (M Country), but Fu Xizhou was worried about his safety. Fu Xizhou eventually agreed, but he insisted on local people being available to assist him. Fu Yunshen had already informed his mother and only needed to convince his grandfather. His mother was worried about him being alone in a foreign country.

Fu Xizhou and Fu Yunshen had the same father but different mothers, so there was some resentment from Fu Yunshen's mother towards him. Fu Yunshen comforted his mother at the time. Zhu Jiu was still debating whether to go to the United States (M Country) to help her uncle. During a layover, she faced overweight luggage fees. She noticed a nearby Chinese person and thought of seeking help. It turned out to be Fu Yunshen's assistant, who initially agreed to help but was refused by Fu Yunshen. To avoid the overweight luggage fees, Zhu Jiu wore all her thick clothes and ignored Fu Yunshen's gaze, feeling disdainful as he didn't help.

After landing, Fu Yunshen's assistant, Chen Le, attempted to call the person coming to pick them up but couldn't reach them. They had to take a taxi. Chen Le noticed that Fu Yunshen was feeling hot, so he helped with a fan. When a taxi arrived, Zhu Jiu was about to get in when Chen Le offered to share the ride. Initially, Zhu Jiu had a good impression of Chen Le and was willing to agree. However, upon seeing Fu Yunshen behind her, she refused. Fu Yunshen then offered to pay for the entire taxi fare. Zhu Jiu was tempted but had a condition: they both had to take a photo together holding their passports. Fu Yunshen was initially reluctant but was persuaded by Chen Le. They took a photo holding their passports, and Zhu Jiu allowed them to share the ride.

On the way, they realized they were staying at the same hotel. Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen both decided to ignore each other. Fu Xizhou went swimming, and Gu Ruanruan, who had always liked him, followed him, much to Fu Xizhou's dismay. Fu Yunshen, after packing, video-called his brother. Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou had a mutual annoyance – a girl who had been pursuing both of them. The next morning, as they were about to leave, Zhu Jiu saw Fu Yunshen standing by the roadside. He deliberately showed off, and Zhu Jiu found his behavior childish.

Zhu Jiu arrived at the charity clinic and shared her candies with the children. Her uncle was delighted to see her, and after some brief conversation, he explained the situation. She was to travel to the border, but due to the danger, she needed someone to accompany her, which turned out to be Fu Yunshen, who was there for a business trip. Zhu Jiu initially wanted to go alone, but her uncle disagreed. Chen Le thought it was a good idea to travel with Zhu Jiu, as it would be like having a doctor on hand. Her uncle tried to persuade Zhu Jiu, saying that Fu Yunshen was a good person, and they provided many of the medicines needed.

In the end, Zhu Jiu agreed, and the three of them prepared to depart. However, just as they were leaving, their car broke down, forcing them to rest halfway. Fu Yunshen appeared nonchalant and even held an umbrella while Chen Le struggled to fix the car. Fu Yunshen couldn't bear watching, so he decided to help personally.

Fu Yunshen helped with the car but couldn't find any issues after a long time. He asked Chen Le to stay put while he and Zhu Jiu went to seek help. They left with their belongings since they had a more important task at hand. They stood by the road, hoping to catch a ride. Due to a language barrier, communication with passing vehicles was challenging. However, Zhu Jiu managed to communicate with someone who agreed to give them a ride to a nearby village. Fu Yunshen hesitated to get into a car filled with chickens and ducks, but they had no other option to reach the village.

Finally, they arrived at their destination, and Zhu Jiu thanked the driver. They both proceeded to the village. The mountain roads here were rugged, and Zhu Jiu observed villagers playing drums and couldn't help but pause for a moment. Children informed Zhu Jiu about the location of the medical station, and they headed there together. Seeing the simple conditions at the medical station, Zhu Jiu remembered when she came here with her parents to discuss a medical condition. She initially wanted her parents to stay and play with her, and her mother skillfully kept her occupied. Zhu Jiu had been reluctant to come here initially due to the memories associated with her parents.

Zhu Jiu also saw pictures of her parents from the past. At that moment, she noticed Dr. Adi carrying an injured child. They didn't have time for pleasantries; they had to perform surgery on the child immediately. Fu Yunshen arrived at a local guesthouse, where the room was clean but had a few missed spots. The staff was friendly and offered assistance whenever needed. Despite the food being brought to him, Fu Yunshen had no appetite. He decided to explore the area with his phone.

Fu Yunshen's purpose in coming here was to find someone named Ansen, who would serve as his guide. However, Ansen was reluctant because his wife was pregnant and needed his care, especially with the rainy season approaching, making it unsafe to venture into the mountains. Initially, Fu Yunshen tried to bribe Ansen with money, but Ansen declined.

Dr. Adi was delighted to see Zhu Jiu, and her visit was mainly for research purposes. While reviewing children's medical cases at night, a thunderstorm hit, causing a power outage at the hospital. Fortunately, Fu Yunshen appeared with a flashlight, and Zhu Jiu remained by a child's side. Fu Yunshen noticed that Zhu Jiu was afraid of the dark. The electrical system at the medical station was old, so power outages were common. Fu Yunshen considered helping Zhu Jiu fix the problem, but she suddenly noticed a bleeding wound on his wrist and offered to wash his clothes. Fu Yunshen felt embarrassed and left.

The next morning, Fu Yunshen saw Zhu Jiu and another nurse hanging up sheets together, a heartwarming scene. Zhu Jiu knew that Fu Yunshen wanted to venture into the mountains, but Ansen hadn't agreed yet. Fu Yunshen had to find another way to convince him. While walking on the street, Fu Yunshen saw Ansen and his wife shopping. He greeted them, but Ansen left abruptly with his wife. To Fu Yunshen's surprise, Zhu Jiu knew Ansen's wife. She had treated her nephew before, and, at Zhu Jiu's request, Ansen agreed to accompany Fu Yunshen into the mountains. Zhu Jiu was excited and bragged about her role in convincing him. Fu Yunshen thought she had bought a bird's nest but realized it was a lampshade. Zhu Jiu teased Fu Yunshen for not knowing anything.

Their happiness was short-lived when, while buying groceries for their meal, Fu Yunshen's wallet was stolen. He had to swallow his pride and ask Zhu Jiu for money to pay for their food. After giving her money, Fu Yunshen asked her to lend him a bit more. Just as Zhu Jiu was about to hand over the money, her wallet was snatched by a thief. Fu Yunshen chased the thief, and despite the thief jumping into the water, he was eventually caught. It turned out that the thief had both Zhu Jiu's and Fu Yunshen's wallets. Fu Xizhou also visited his grandfather in the hospital, and their grandfather was very concerned about Fu Yunshen.

Zhu Jiu suddenly screamed due to a power outage, and she was only wearing a bathrobe. Fu Yunshen calmly approached and lit a candle. Fu Yunshen even used the candle to threaten Zhu Jiu to delete any pictures and videos she had taken of him. Zhu Jiu had no choice but to comply and delete them. Fu Yunshen then handed a flashlight to Zhu Jiu, knowing that she was afraid of the dark. He sang at the door to comfort her, and Zhu Jiu felt warmed by his presence. Fu Yunshen couldn't help but smile as he sang.

The next day, Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu, along with Ansen, prepared to venture into the mountains, hoping to make some progress in their work. It was Zhu Jiu's first time in the wilderness, but both Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu quickly immersed themselves in their work, hoping for a successful outcome. By evening, the three of them took a small wooden raft back. When they returned, many villagers were gathered on the shore, waiting for the moment when the lights would come on. For the villagers here, happiness was truly a simple matter. Zhu Jiu congratulated Fu Yunshen on receiving a prestigious title, thanks to his assistance in bringing light to the village.

However, their joy was short-lived when a military group suddenly arrived. All the villagers quickly scattered. These people were like bandits and took away all the medical supplies. Zhu Jiu recalled a similar situation when she was with her parents in the past. Her father had hidden her in a barrel. Ansen explained that these were non-government armed groups since the village was ungoverned, they had been entrusted with control. They had an agreement with Ansen's colleagues to share half of whatever supplies they acquired. Fu Yunshen was not happy about this, as the supplies were essential for the villagers, but Ansen explained that, for them, as long as the villagers survived, it was enough.

Back at the Fu family mansion in China, Fu Xizhou was having dinner with his grandfather. Fu Yunshen's mother brought up the topic of her younger brother, Jiang Jun, and expressed her desire for her father to give him a chance to reform rather than sending him to work in the western region. In the end, their grandfather agreed.

Zhu Jiu fell asleep in the car, while Fu Yunshen continued working. Zhu Jiu was exhausted and ended up resting her head on Fu Yunshen's shoulder. Fu Yunshen tried to move her, but she ended up lying on top of him, and he couldn't escape. Suddenly, a small lamb ran in front of the car, causing it to brake abruptly and waking up the sleeping Zhu Jiu.

As they continued their journey, they encountered a military checkpoint. After verifying their identities, they asked Zhu Jiu to step out of the car. She showed them her passport, and they made her raise her hands and conducted a body search. At this point, Fu Yunshen stepped in to shield Zhu Jiu. Just as a conflict seemed imminent, someone blew a whistle, and Fu Yunshen, along with Zhu Jiu, got back into the car, and they continued their journey.

Fu Yunshen returned to the mountains for further research, while Zhu Jiu noticed some wildflowers by the roadside and couldn't resist squatting down to admire them. Fu Yunshen approached and warned her that these flowers were highly poisonous. At first, Zhu Jiu thought he was joking, saying she knew they were African daisies. However, Fu Yunshen clarified that the flowers had a toxin that affected the heart. Zhu Jiu asked if it would affect her by just smelling them, and Fu Yunshen, with a serious expression, advised her not to proceed. Initially cooperative, Zhu Jiu eventually realized that Fu Yunshen was deceiving her.

While by the river, leeches climbed onto Zhu Jiu's feet. Fu Yunshen asked her to sit down and used wormwood to help remove the leeches. During this incident, Zhu Jiu felt her heart flutter for Fu Yunshen. Fu Yunshen urged Zhu Jiu to rest, but she was determined to complete the mission quickly. Fu Yunshen carried her despite her protests, and Zhu Jiu found comfort in his actions.

At night, inside the tent, Zhu Jiu injected herself with medication due to her injuries. She was relieved to have prepared the medication in advance, as otherwise, Fu Yunshen would have scolded her. Zhu Jiu took antibiotics and lay down. Fu Yunshen called her out for dinner, but she was feeling unwell. It turned out that she was having an allergic reaction to the leech saliva. In her discomfort, Zhu Jiu started talking about her impending death and even mentioned giving her bank card to her grandmother. As she continued to feel cold, she expressed regret about never having been in a romantic relationship. Eventually, she drifted off to sleep.

While Zhu Jiu slept, Fu Yunshen went out to gather some herbs. He ground them and applied them to Zhu Jiu's injuries. Fu Yunshen stayed by the tent throughout the night, watching over her. When Chen Le woke up, he saw Fu Yunshen sleeping outside Zhu Jiu's tent. Fu Yunshen instructed Chen Le to watch over her while he went back into the tent to get some more rest. When Zhu Jiu woke up and saw the herbs on her leg, she realized that Fu Yunshen had taken care of her, and her heart felt warm.

Fu Yunshen was still thinking about what to say to Zhu Jiu when she woke up. However, Gu Ruanruan called Fu Yunshen on the satellite phone. Gu Ruanruan had always liked Fu Xizhou but couldn't reach him. So, she ended up calling Fu Yunshen. When Zhu Jiu came out, she thought it was Fu Yunshen's girlfriend calling. Fu Yunshen couldn't help but smile, but he didn't say anything. However, later, when Zhu Jiu returned to the tent to rest, Fu Yunshen told her that he didn't have a girlfriend. Zhu Jiu couldn't help but laugh.

The next day, Zhu Jiu's condition improved, and they continued their journey. After a while, both of them felt tired, so Fu Yunshen gave Zhu Jiu his water bottle. Zhu Jiu accidentally touched the bottle's rim, feeling a bit embarrassed. They finally arrived at a tribal area, and Fu Yunshen spotted their company's tents. Before Zhu Jiu could rest, she was called over to assist in treating patients. The people here were refugees, and there was only one doctor named Ji Silang. Zhu Jiu found Ji Silang's name familiar and later realized he was her senior.

When Fu Yunshen saw Zhu Jiu talking to Ji Silang, he suddenly felt jealous. He asked Zhu Jiu to pack up and prepare to continue their journey. Zhu Jiu temporarily stayed to help treat the injured refugees. Many children here had skin diseases, and Zhu Jiu learned that most of the medicines donated were from the Lingtian Group where Fu Yunshen worked. Fu Yunshen's grandfather was initially angry when he learned that Fu Yunshen had gone to M country. Fu Yunshen reassured his grandfather that he was doing fine there. Chen Le followed Fu Yunshen's instructions and handed over all the supplies. During Zhu Jiu's temporary stay, Fu Yunshen remained with her. Ji Silang wanted Zhu Jiu to stay longer since he was the only doctor there, and sometimes he couldn't handle all the patients. He wanted Zhu Jiu to stay for another week.

One night, Zhu Jiu informed Fu Yunshen about this, but he believed that their time was already tight, and they had to leave the next day. Zhu Jiu was concerned that more refugees were coming, and if they left, Ji Silang might be overwhelmed. However, Fu Yunshen believed that even if they left, life here would continue, and the situation wouldn't change. This led to an argument between Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu, and Zhu Jiu stormed back to her tent.

The next day, Zhu Jiu and Ji Silang continued their medical work and took a break after a long day. While Fu Yunshen insisted he didn't want to change their plans, he still informed Ansen about the last-minute change. Ansen urged them to make the best use of their time. In the evening, Ji Silang learned that Zhu Jiu intended to stay longer and felt that it would inconvenience them. At first, Zhu Jiu thought Fu Yunshen had already left, but he returned with supplies. Zhu Jiu was happy, although she didn't express it much.

After completing their work for the night, Zhu Jiu told Fu Yunshen about a little girl she had met. The girl was searching for her lost dog and had been injured by soldiers. Everything here was quite harsh. Fu Yunshen noticed Zhu Jiu was feeling down and offered comfort. He believed Zhu Jiu could treat many patients. Thanks to Fu Yunshen's reassurance, Zhu Jiu's mood improved.

After a week, Zhu Jiu prepared to leave, and Ji Silang thanked her for her time there. Chen Le handed over the herbs that Fu Yunshen had prepared and explained how to use them, which Ji Silang found very useful. The refugees came to bid farewell as they learned of Zhu Jiu's departure.

Next, Fu Yunshen's group continued their journey. They were about to reach another tribal area, and Ansen informed them about the situation they might encounter there. Soon, they arrived at the tribe, where the people were performing rituals and incantations. Ansen explained that they were seeking healing, and Zhu Jiu helped treat the sick children. Seeing the children in pain, Zhu Jiu couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Ansen told Fu Yunshen that there used to be the kind of herb he needed in this area, but it hadn't grown for a long time. Zhu Jiu also told her uncle that she wanted to find this herb, which would help the village with medical treatment. In the evening, Fu Yunshen was cooking, and Zhu Jiu, drawn by the aroma, joined him. Zhu Jiu pretended not to be interested in the food but couldn't resist and found it delicious.

While Zhu Jiu was eating, she accidentally dropped some hair. Fu Yunshen was attentive and helped her tuck it away. At that moment, Chen Le suddenly appeared between the two, saying he felt unwell with stomach issues and even gave Fu Yunshen his bank card password. Zhu Jiu couldn't help but laugh, as she had prepared medicine for Chen Le earlier. Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu were preparing to head into the mountains with Ansen's guidance. Chen Le reminded them to stay safe.

Accompanied by Ansen, Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu ventured into the forest. The area was shrouded in fog, and Fu Yunshen began feeling uncomfortable. Ansen inquired about Fu Yunshen's condition, and he mentioned feeling a bit breathless. Ansen suspected it might be altitude sickness and gave Fu Yunshen some Rhodiola extract, which Zhu Jiu promptly placed in his mouth. Due to discomfort, they all decided to take a break. However, the thick mist made it easy to lose track of their path, so Ansen emphasized the need to stay close.

Ansen and Zhu Jiu's group got separated, and Fu Yunshen took precautions by tying a ribbon around their wrists to prevent them from getting lost. He held Zhu Jiu's hand and led her forward. They eventually emerged from the misty forest, leaving marks along the way, hoping Ansen would find them. As they continued, they reached a riverside and rested for a moment. It was there that they spotted the Peidu plant they needed. They decided to proceed and search for it.

After persistent efforts, they finally found the Peidu plant. Fu Yunshen quickly shared the good news with Zhu Jiu. However, as she approached, she lost her balance, and both of them accidentally fell into a cave. Now they were truly trapped. Fu Yunshen retrieved some supplies from his bag to fill their stomachs, confident that they would find a way out. Zhu Jiu admired Fu Yunshen's optimistic spirit, and he noticed a wound on her hand, so he disinfected it using iodine from his bag.

Ansen had already become separated from Zhu Jiu's group, but fortunately, he spotted the yellow ribbon they had left behind and followed it to find them. By this time, their food had run out, and if no one came to rescue them soon, they could be in real danger. Fu Yunshen asked Zhu Jiu why she hadn't run when the gunshots rang out that day, and she admitted that she was scared. He guessed that Zhu Jiu had experienced something terrible.

Zhu Jiu recalled how years ago, a group of mercenaries threatened her mother, demanding to know where someone was hiding. Her mother insisted that she didn't know, but even so, she was violently killed. Zhu Jiu's father had hidden her in a barrel to protect her, knowing they were in grave danger. Her father led the mercenaries away to a distant location to keep her safe. Zhu Jiu longed for her parents and wished they could be with her. As she shared her memories, tears welled up in her eyes. Fu Yunshen comforted her and let her rest her head on his shoulder. Zhu Jiu was grateful for his comfort.

Zhu Jiu drifted off to sleep but suddenly woke up, thinking Fu Yunshen had left. Thankfully, he was still by her side. She felt cold, and Fu Yunshen tried to start a fire, but when he couldn't, he did his best to keep her warm.

When Ansen returned and informed Chen Le about Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen getting lost, Chen Le became worried and wanted to go into the mountains to find them. However, Ansen stopped him. It was already nighttime, and Fu Yunshen kept talking to Zhu Jiu to keep her distracted. Fu Yunshen also gifted Zhu Jiu a unique wristwatch and told her she was the strongest. Zhu Jiu was touched and considered it the best gift she had ever received. Fu Yunshen took off his own clothes to keep Zhu Jiu warm, and she offered him a chocolate bar as a gift. It was now their only source of sustenance. Zhu Jiu couldn't open it, so Fu Yunshen placed it in her mouth, surprising her by biting the other half while she was talking. She blushed and pretended to fall asleep.

Today is Grandpa's birthday, but Fu Yunshen didn't call, leaving Grandpa feeling a bit disappointed. At this moment, Fu Yunshen's mother received a satellite call, thinking it was from Fu Yunshen, but it turned out to be Chen Le who answered the call and said that Fu Yunshen was missing her. Yunshen's mother was extremely anxious and fainted, so her family rushed her to the hospital. Grandpa asked his daughter-in-law to rest and then sent Fu Xizhou to M Country to find Fu Yunshen.

Fu Xizhou had just arrived at the airport when Gu Ruanruan followed him, insisting on going with him. Despite the late hour and heavy rain, the local police initially wanted to postpone the search until the next day, but Fu Xizhou insisted they continue searching immediately, emphasizing that Fu Yunshen was his younger brother. At this moment, Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen had become weak from hunger. Fu Yunshen had a premonition that Chen Le would come to their rescue soon, but their willpower was waning. He asked Zhu Jiu to check her mother's diary for any self-rescue methods, and she began reading aloud. As they grew increasingly fatigued, Zhu Jiu lost the strength to speak, but Fu Yunshen kept trying to wake her up, even resorting to riddles to keep her from falling asleep. As their conditions worsened, Fu Yunshen heard someone calling their names, signaling their rescue. He got up unsteadily to call for help, but Zhu Jiu, who was half-conscious, asked him not to leave. After taking a few steps, Fu Yunshen collapsed, and the rescuer also fainted.

The cave entrance was blocked by a large rock, and it needed to be excavated. When Fu Yunshen saw his rescuer, he was embraced by his older brother, Fu Xizhou. In his semi-conscious state, Fu Yunshen begged his brother to save Zhu Jiu. Due to exhaustion, Fu Yunshen fell unconscious, causing Fu Xizhou to worry. However, Fu Yunshen woke up and, upon learning that Zhu Jiu was safe, felt relieved. When he was feeling a bit better, he went to check on Zhu Jiu, who had just woken up. The two of them shared some banter.

Gu Ruanruan arrived at the scene and urged Fu Yunshen to leave, but he reluctantly complied. As Zhu Jiu was getting ready, she noticed the unique wristwatch that Fu Yunshen had drawn for her and couldn't help but smile. Fu Xizhou told his brother that they would leave when the helicopter arrived, but Fu Yunshen was hesitant and found various excuses to stay. Fu Xizhou understood his brother's intentions, and upon Fu Yunshen's request, he agreed to wait.

The next day, Zhu Jiu and her uncle continued to help the villagers with medical care, working late into the night. Since the medical care was free, many villagers rushed in, making it challenging to provide proper treatment. Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Zhou Zhizhi had always liked Fu Yunshen, but he never took the initiative. Fu Yunshen's mother often tried to create opportunities for them, but Fu Yunshen didn't show any interest in Zhou Zhizhi.

Fu Xizhou wanted to buy a piece of artwork from someone, and when he learned that it was a friend of Gu Ruanruan's, he went to meet her. Gu Ruanruan agreed promptly. She had promised Zhou Zhizhi to monitor Fu Yunshen and make sure he didn't get too close to Zhu Jiu. One night, Fu Yunshen made plans to chat with Zhu Jiu outside. He knew that Zhu Jiu had been pretending to faint in the cave, and she deliberately asked him about Zhou Zhizhi. Fu Yunshen mentioned that he would be returning to China, which made Zhu Jiu feel somewhat disappointed. After much thought, Zhu Jiu finally told Fu Yunshen that she wanted to talk to him. Fu Yunshen thought she was going to confess her feelings, but she asked him to repay the money he owed her instead. Fu Yunshen complied and returned the money to Zhu Jiu, who couldn't help but laugh.

Fu Yunshen had already arranged his brother's schedule. Now, the shareholders are waiting for good news from them in M Country. Initially, Gu Ruanruan came here just for fun, but when she saw the children covered in scars, she was moved. Gu Ruanruan realized the significance of Zhu Jiu and her team being here – to save more people. Zhu Jiu told Gu Ruanruan that she could share the photos with people in China so that everyone would be aware.

Actually, Gu Ruanruan also thought highly of Zhu Jiu, but she couldn't like her because she and Zhou Zhizhi were good friends. In the evening, Zhu Jiu sat by the campfire, and Fu Yunshen joined her. Zhu Jiu told Fu Yunshen that Du Pei could really treat the children's illnesses this time, and she was happy about it. However, Fu Yunshen mentioned that they came here for mining rights. This angered Zhu Jiu because these plants could save lives, and if Lingtian took possession of them, the children might have to buy them. Zhu Jiu was very upset. Even though both of them were here to help with the treatment, the children also needed the plants. Zhu Jiu begged Fu Yunshen to help the children, but he remained silent. Understanding Fu Yunshen's stance, Zhu Jiu could only turn and leave.

Zhu Jiu felt helpless because she couldn't pretend not to know that the children had hope of survival. After she finished speaking, she ran away, feeling very sad about the situation. Originally, she had feelings for Fu Yunshen, but ultimately, they weren't on the same path.

Later, Fu Yunshen found his brother, hoping to allocate some medicine for research by the doctors to save the local children. Although Fu Xizhou wanted to help his brother, Grandpa would definitely not approve of this. The company was already in a difficult situation, and while Fu Yunshen promised to work on developing new drugs, the company couldn't afford to wait. Over 5,000 employees were counting on them. Fu Yunshen pleaded with his brother, but Fu Xizhou explained that if this project wasn't completed, the company would face massive layoffs.

Fu Xizhou decided to leave, while Gu Ruanruan stayed to gather more material. Fu Yunshen also didn't return with his brother. He wanted to discuss the development matter further with the professor. Hans planned to take the sick children to a better-equipped medical station. However, because of the Du Pei incident, Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu didn't speak to each other.

Professor Hans' test results confirmed that the children were infected with a virus. Fu Yunshen deliberately had Chen Le bring breakfast to Zhu Jiu, even though he was nearby. He could have brought it himself but chose not to do so to save face.

Professor Hans warned that the virus was spread through saliva, so everyone needed to take isolation precautions as they faced a tough battle. Zhu Jiu worked late into the night every day. However, there was one child named Danmin who refused to cooperate with treatment. He was adamant about returning to school, which created difficulties. Zhu Jiu called Ji Silang to inquire about the situation on his side, but things weren't going well for him either. She hoped the epidemic wouldn't spread further.

Fu Yunshen conducted experiments every day, hoping to help everyone. When Fu Xizhou met the prime minister, he learned that a batch of medicine needed to be delivered to Zhu Jiu's village. Since there were no flights available, Fu Xizhou volunteered to help using his private plane.

Fu Yunshen received a call from his brother, who wanted him to return immediately due to the outbreak in his current location. However, Fu Yunshen refused to leave. Oscar's wife came to visit him but was unable to see him due to his critical condition and the risk of infection. Zhu Jiu wanted to intervene on her behalf but was scolded by Uncle Hans. Oscar's wife caused a scene but eventually got to see her husband. Before they parted, they had argued, but after going through so much, everything else seemed unimportant. She realized that as long as Oscar recovered, it would be enough. However, even when the serum arrived, Oscar couldn't hold on till the end.

When Zhu Jiu was alone one evening, looking at the toy in her hand, Fu Yunshen came over. Oscar's family was very saddened, as they never expected to lose their loved one due to an illness. Zhu Jiu sometimes felt very inadequate, knowing that she couldn't save a life, which she considered a significant failure. Fu Yunshen understood that Zhu Jiu was very upset, and he wiped away her tears. He expressed his desire to help these children too, but he had his own mission to fulfill.

Zhu Jiu began to understand him a bit, and Fu Yunshen told her that she was needed here, so she must not falter. Mr. Jiang, upon learning that his son hadn't returned, was very angry. Fu Xizhou explained that he still had unfinished business over there, which also angered his grandfather, as Fu Yunshen's safety was paramount to them. After pushing Fu Xizhou aside, the grandfather inquired about his daughter-in-law whether Fu Yunshen was suitable to be the heir. Mr. Jiang naturally believed his son was highly suitable, but in reality, it was not the case.

The grandfather had long known that Fu Yunshen didn't care about that position at all. He devoted most of his energy to research. Mr. Jiang had no choice but to leave. Fu Xizhou received a call and learned that his mother's condition had worsened. He rushed to check on her. His mother was already confused and sometimes even mistook herself for his father. Because Fu Xizhou's mother had not been accepted by the Fu family in the past and her husband divorced her as a result, Fu Xizhou's attitude towards his mother had changed completely. Sometimes, she even did things that hurt her son, and Fu Xizhou had to endure it silently.

The grandfather bought delicious cake for Fu Xizhou, who liked it very much but always ate it cautiously. Fu Xizhou's mother was still living in a mental hospital. The doctor told him that to improve her condition, they must determine the root cause of her illness. In the past, his mother had been constantly drawing a portrait of his father in her room, and perhaps his father was the source of it all. Fu Xizhou found the director of the mental hospital and saw all of his mother's medical records. Fu Xizhou's mother had been transferred from another mental hospital before, but the doctors there hadn't provided many records. The director only knew the other doctor's name and told Fu Xizhou.

Zhu Jiu handed Oscar's ring to his wife. Even though her husband had passed away, she didn't show signs of depression. Instead, she wanted to fulfill her husband's dream. One evening, Zhu Jiu went to find Fu Yunshen, who happened to be standing near a streetlight sign. He invited her to play on a higher platform, and although Zhu Jiu initially hesitated, she eventually agreed. They sat together, chatting happily. Fu Yunshen comforted Zhu Jiu, telling her to look at the world from a different perspective. Zhu Jiu said her biggest regret was not properly saying goodbye to her parents. They had a joyful conversation, and Zhu Jiu couldn't help but blush as she listened to Fu Yunshen.

The next morning, Gu Ruanruan informed Fu Yunshen that his mother had collapsed and was admitted to the hospital. Fu Yunshen had no choice but to return home. Before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to Zhu Jiu, but she was busy with surgery. So, Fu Yunshen had to leave, and when Zhu Jiu finished her surgery and ran over, Fu Yunshen was already next to the helicopter. Zhu Jiu put a bracelet on Fu Yunshen's hand, and they hugged each other before parting. Despite the deep reluctance, both of them had their own tasks to complete, so they had to temporarily part ways.

Through an investigation, Fu Xizhou found Dr. Lin Yelong, who used to be his mother's attending physician. At first, Dr. Lin didn't want to talk to Fu Xizhou, but when Fu Xizhou showed him a photo of Dr. Lin causing a patient's death, he finally spoke up. Fu Xizhou learned from Dr. Lin that his mother's illness was caused by Fu Yunshen's mother. Originally, Fu Xizhou's parents were in love, but for the sake of the family's reputation and financial interests, they sent Fu Xizhou's mother, who only had depression at the time, to a mental hospital.

Fu Xizhou looked at Lin Zhi's confused state, recalling the mastermind behind all this, and a look of hatred crossed his face. Upon arriving at the company, he received a voice message from Fu Yunshen, saying that he would visit after seeing Jiang Shuning. After listening, he put down his phone and picked up a photo of himself that Fu Yunshen had placed on his desk before. Memories of their past time together filled his mind, and with mixed emotions, he put the photo in a drawer, trying to shift his focus to work.

As Fu Yunshen was on his way to the hospital, he received a call from Jiang Shuning, urging him to come to the company immediately. Fu Yunshen was puzzled at first, but Jiang Shuning informed him that Fu Xizhou had initiated the Pedu project. Fu Yunshen opened his email and was surprised to see that Fu Xizhou had even renamed the project. When Fu Yunshen returned to the company, he questioned Fu Xizhou about why he had unilaterally negotiated the mining rights. Fu Xizhou brushed him off with casual remarks and asked him to go home and rest.

Fu Yunshen later visited Jiang Shuning in her office. They exchanged some concerned words, and Jiang Shuning talked about Fu Xizhou's actions, insisting that they help Fu Yunshen regain control of the project. Fu Yunshen didn't want to discuss it and told Jiang Shuning that he was feeling tired and wanted to go home. She escorted him out of the office.

Zhu Jiu continued with her work as usual. After finishing, she had a video call with Fu Yunshen. They chatted briefly and then hung up. During dinner, Fu Yunshen told his grandfather, Fu Lingtian, that he wanted to stop the Pedu project. Fu Lingtian was puzzled, so Fu Yunshen explained the situation in Naudau. Fu Lingtian assured him that if Fu Yunshen could convince the board of directors, he would support him. Fu Yunshen was delighted, and the two of them enjoyed their meal together.

Upon returning to Germany, Zhu Jiu went out again to observe clinical surgeries. After class, she wanted to consult the attending physician about some questions, and unexpectedly, the attending physician this time was Ji Silang. They met again and went to Ji Silang's office to chat. During a video call, Zhu Jiu told Fu Yunshen about meeting Ji Silang again. Fu Yunshen felt jealous, and after a few words, he noticed Fu Yunshen looking tired. They said goodnight and ended the call.

Fu Yunshen showed his new project to Fu Xizhou, but Fu Xizhou politely declined, saying that it needed approval from the shareholders and Fu Lingtian. He suggested that Fu Yunshen should talk to them first. However, Fu Yunshen faced resistance from the shareholders, as they didn't see potential in the project.

One of Zhu Jiu's colleagues mentioned the shortage of Pedu in the lab. Zhu Jiu trusted Fu Yunshen and told her colleague that Lingtian would definitely give up making a profit by transferring mining rights. Her colleague took her to meet a renowned expert, who turned out to be Ji Silang.

Jiang Shuning also disagreed with Fu Yunshen's actions, believing that he was essentially handing the company over to Fu Xizhou. Fu Yunshen once again emphasized his lack of interest in the company and his trust in Fu Xizhou. Jiang Shuning was frustrated and left in anger.

Zhu Jiu received a gift from Fu Yunshen and ate some milk candies. She reminisced about the time she and Fu Yunshen were trapped in a cave and shared a sweet smile. She also gave one of the candies to Ji Silang.

Fu Yunshen approached Gu Ruanruan, hoping to display the photos she had taken in Lingtian's lobby. Gu Ruanruan agreed enthusiastically after hearing his idea, and they reached a consensus. Chen Le was tasked with projecting the photos in the lobby, but it didn't have the desired effect, as the board of directors were all out playing golf, avoiding the meeting.

Fu Yunshen remained alone in the company, and Zhou Zhizhi came by. Fu Yunshen gave Zhou Zhizhi a ride back home, and Zhou Zhizhi asked if there was anything she could do to help. Fu Yunshen shared his thoughts, even though he knew that this endeavor was unlikely to succeed. He told Zhou Zhizhi that he already had someone he liked and advised her not to waste her time pursuing him. Zhou Zhizhi left disappointed.

Fu Yunshen called Zhu Jiu and learned that she had been working continuously for forty-eight hours. He suggested that she take a break and spend some time with her pet dog to refresh herself.

Zhu Jiu was having a video call with Fu Yunshen at night, and Fu Yunshen even let his little dog greet Zhu Jiu. Fu Yunshen actually missed Zhu Jiu a lot but didn't want to disturb her sleep. Reluctantly, he decided not to hang up the call.

When Zhu Jiu went to work in the morning, she received a sweet message from Fu Yunshen, which brightened her mood for the entire day. Meanwhile, Zhou Zhizhi's mother and Fu Yunshen's mother were chatting. Initially, Fu Yunshen's mother wanted to matchmake the two, but Zhou Zhizhi's mother had already learned that Fu Yunshen had someone he liked. She felt that a romantic relationship between them was unlikely. However, Jiang Shuning continued to express her intentions of matchmaking, secretly hoping for a union between the two families so that her son could inherit the Lingtian Group.

Fu Xizhou had been trying to meet with Gu Ruanruan, but she always found excuses to avoid him. Fu Xizhou had childhood memories of how Jiang Shuning treated him differently. When Fu Yunshen first met his brother, he was very enthusiastic and wanted to play together. He even gave his own toys to Fu Yunshen. However, Fu Yunshen was scolded by their mother for it. Jiang Shuning whispered to Fu Xizhou that their mother was a crazy woman. At that time, Fu Xizhou was just dissatisfied with Jiang Shuning, but his attitude towards him changed after learning that their mother was driven insane by Jiang Shuning.

Gu Ruanruan asked Fu Yunshen to accompany her for shopping. Gu Ruanruan bought a bunch of things, and originally, Fu Xizhou didn't want to go. However, upon learning that it was Gu Ruanruan's birthday, he had no choice but to join her. In truth, it wasn't Gu Ruanruan's actual birthday, and she took this opportunity to confess her feelings to Fu Xizhou. This time, Fu Xizhou didn't refuse and instead held her hand. Gu Ruanruan hugged Fu Xizhou tightly. In the evening, Fu Xizhou escorted Gu Ruanruan back home. Just before parting, Gu Ruanruan kissed Fu Xizhou on the cheek. Fu Xizhou was a bit stunned, and by the time he reacted, Gu Ruanruan had already hurriedly gone back inside.

After returning home, Gu Ruanruan told her mother that her wish of over twenty years had finally come true. However, her mother felt that, from the current perspective, Fu Xizhou didn't seem to love Gu Ruanruan as much as they had hoped. Her parents just wanted their daughter to find someone who genuinely cared for her. Choosing to be with Gu Ruanruan at this critical moment seemed to have impure motives. Still, Gu Ruanruan believed that Fu Xizhou truly liked her.

When Fu Yunshen went to work, he was ridiculed and mocked by others. Later, he learned about Fu Xizhou's plan to get engaged to Gu Ruanruan. He then confronted his brother, questioning why he hadn't informed him earlier. Fu Xizhou didn't give a straightforward answer, and Fu Yunshen also sensed that his brother had ulterior motives, although Fu Xizhou didn't reveal them.

Jiang Shuning sought out Chen Le and asked him to report on Fu Yunshen's recent activities. Chen Le simply shared what he had observed. In the evening, Fu Xizhou personally delivered an invitation to Jiang Shuning, but even in this, he chose to make some sarcastic remarks. Although his words appeared harmless, those with a keen eye could sense that there was more to it.

After returning home, Jiang Shuning still wanted her son to manage the company properly. However, her son repeatedly emphasized his lack of interest in managing the company. Jiang Shuning suddenly felt an unprecedented fear. She was afraid that Fu Xizhou would take over the entire company, leaving Fu Yunshen with nothing. The next day, Jiang Shuning visited Fu Xizhou's mother and handed her the invitation. She even provocatively mentioned that Fu Xizhou's father had died a long time ago and had become stiff by the time he returned to the country. She implied that she was responsible for his death. Jiang Shuning kindly gifted a set of formal attire to Fu Xizhou's mother, but she immediately threw it away.

In reality, Fu Xizhou had already prepared the attire for his mother. The day of Fu Xizhou and Gu Ruanruan's engagement quickly arrived. Fu Xizhou's mother held the attire and headed to the banquet venue. Fu Yunshen was still trying to persuade his brother to delay the project, but Fu Xizhou had already made up his mind.

Fu Yunshen felt that so far, his brother didn't seem to have any special feelings for Gu Ruanruan. He didn't want his brother to use Gu Ruanruan, but Fu Xizhou said Fu Yunshen was overthinking things. Soon, their grandfather arrived since the two families were now related by marriage. Fu Yunshen was somewhat angry and left abruptly.

Fu Yunshen thought about the scenes of him and his brother together. They had always been a great team, but today it felt like something had changed. Fu Xizhou told their grandfather that his younger brother had some urgent matters to attend to and left. Although their grandfather didn't show anger openly, he pulled Fu Xizhou aside and questioned him intensely about where Fu Yunshen had gone.

Fu Yunshen was heartbroken due to his brother's actions. He wasn't in the right frame of mind while driving, and Fu Xizhou's mother was walking on the road, holding her clothes. She suddenly attempted to cross the road and was nearly hit by a truck. The truck collided with Fu Yunshen's car, causing it to rotate 180 degrees, and the truck also hit Fu Xizhou's mother. Fu Yunshen lost control of his car, which ended up crashing nearby, with steel bars embedded throughout. He fainted on the spot.

Fu Xizhou received a call about his mother's accident and rushed to the hospital. Fu Yunshen was also at the hospital, undergoing emergency treatment because a steel bar had been inserted into his body, putting his life in grave danger. Doctors were doing everything they could to save him.

At night, Zhu Jiu had been waiting for a call from Fu Yunshen, but she received no response to her messages. She felt a growing sense of unease since she had never experienced such a late-night communication gap with him. She checked flight tickets to return to Shanghai, but they were unexpectedly expensive, causing her to hesitate. Suddenly, she felt like Fu Yunshen was right in front of her, even about to kiss her. But it turned out to be a dream, and Zhu Jiu woke up realizing it was all in her head.

Zhu Jiu finally managed to get through to Fu Yunshen when she called him again. However, this time, someone else answered – it was Zhou Zhizhi. Zhou Zhizhi informed Zhu Jiu that it was too late to talk and hung up, holding back tears. This left Zhu Jiu completely devastated. She thought that Zhou Zhizhi and Fu Yunshen were now together, so her work and focus suffered. She tried to send messages to Fu Yunshen but received no response.

Two years passed, and Zhu Jiu was still in Saint Petersburg. She was still working on developing Peidu, but it wasn't as easy as she had imagined. A good friend offered her a part-time job as a family doctor, as six other doctors had offended the patient and were unable to continue. At her friend's plea, Zhu Jiu accepted the job and went to work as a family doctor.

Linda, the patient she was attending to, was warm and welcoming. However, Linda didn't allow any noise in her house. She showed Zhu Jiu around briefly and then led her to the room. Zhu Jiu greeted her, but when she saw Fu Yunshen in a wheelchair, she was taken aback. Zhu Jiu wanted to ask many questions, but Fu Yunshen's emotional outburst drove her away.

Fu Yunshen had undergone surgery and had lost sensation in his lower body. No matter how hard he tried or how much training he received, he couldn't move his lower limbs. His mother was devastated, and he felt like a useless person, struggling to regain his strength.

Chairman Jiang tried calling his son but couldn't reach him. His mother was also worried, asking if he had eaten properly. Zhu Jiu arrived at the hospital and asked her friend about what had happened to Fu Yunshen. She only knew that he had been in a car accident a year ago but didn't have all the details. After returning home, Zhu Jiu called Chen Le to inquire about Fu Yunshen's experiences over the past year, but Chen Le said he couldn't reveal anything due to a promise he made to his boss. Zhu Jiu couldn't understand why Fu Yunshen had disappeared suddenly and now reappeared. She wanted to know what had happened.

After Fu Yunshen woke up and learned about the loss of sensation in his legs, he was in a daze at the hospital. No matter how Chen Le tried to cheer him up, it didn't work. Chen Le saw Fu Yunshen's depressed state and suggested calling Zhu Jiu. However, Fu Yunshen refused. Chen Le was worried about Fu Yunshen's condition and messaged Zhu Jiu, begging her to take care of him. He wanted Fu Yunshen to explain the situation himself. That night, Zhu Jiu went to a bar with Ji Jingtang and ended up getting drunk. She mumbled some incoherent words, and Ji Jingtang tried to help her get back home. He told her that sometimes what one sees with their eyes might not reflect reality.

Zhu Jiu was brought home, and Ji Jingtang kindly covered her with a blanket and even prepared a cup of hot water for her before leaving. Zhu Jiu woke up in a daze at home and received a call from Linda, who wanted her to come to the villa. Fu Yunshen was in bad shape and didn't want to go to the hospital. So, Zhu Jiu stayed to take care of him. Fu Yunshen was still calling out Zhu Jiu's name in his semi-conscious state.

Fu Xizhou had been secretly monitoring Fu Yunshen's villa, and when he saw Zhu Jiu coming out of the room, he discreetly took a picture. When Fu Yunshen first woke up in the hospital, his grandfather and mother were very concerned about him. Fu Xizhou noticed that the family was showering Fu Yunshen with love and attention, which made him uncomfortable, especially since his own mother had recently passed away. Zhu Jiu went to the supermarket and bought things for the little dog, as well as made medicine for Fu Yunshen. However, he found various excuses not to take the medicine and even threw the bowl on the ground. Since Fu Yunshen was abroad, his grandfather felt the house was very empty. Although Fu Xizhou often came back to have meals with his grandfather, things felt different. Fu Xizhou also told him that the promotion to deputy general manager might be postponed, which disappointed his grandfather.

Since Zhu Jiu heard Fu Yunshen call her name the night before, she was determined to stay and take care of him, despite his difficult behavior. Zhu Jiu understood that Fu Yunshen was angry but tried to remain patient. She even asked Chen Le to send her the medical records and hoped that Fu Yunshen would eventually recover. Chairman Jiang had been trying to cure his son's illness, but Fu Yunshen was uncooperative, refusing to eat properly, and it was taking a toll on his mother. All Chairman Jiang could do was find the best doctors for his son. Fu Yunshen had become his mother's hope, and witnessing her suffering, he finally agreed to undergo treatment. Zhou Zhizhi often went to the temple to pray for Fu Yunshen's recovery. Chairman Jiang would also invite her for meals and chat. Chairman Jiang wanted Zhou Zhizhi to join his company's research and development, but she declined, focusing solely on Fu Yunshen's recovery.

Zhou Zhizhi inquired about Chairman Jiang whether Fu Yunshen had been doing well lately. Chairman Jiang mentioned that Fu Yunshen hadn't been well recently. In fact, she hoped Zhou Zhizhi would visit him. Zhou Zhizhi mentioned that she had suggested it to Fu Yunshen before, but he had refused. Chairman Jiang still wished Zhou Zhizhi would be more proactive, but Zhou Zhizhi didn't want to upset Fu Yunshen.

Zhu Jiu remembered that Fu Yunshen had once told her that he would allocate part of the Peidu project to Professor Hans for research. However, she had lost contact with him afterward. Zhu Jiu continued to deliver medicine to Fu Yunshen daily, but today he didn't answer the door, so she had to leave. Afterward, Zhu Jiu returned to the hospital and consulted a neurologist, hoping to speed up Fu Yunshen's recovery. The doctor provided her with some information, and after finishing her tasks, she returned to the villa. It turned out that the dog had run out, and Zhu Jiu discovered that Fu Yunshen had fallen. She rushed to assist him, but he became very angry and asked her to leave. Afraid to help him, Zhu Jiu sought Linda's assistance instead.

After Linda had finished, she informed Zhu Jiu that Fu Yunshen had asked her to move out. However, Zhu Jiu insisted that she wouldn't leave. Linda was relieved because it would be difficult to find another doctor to come over if Zhu Jiu left. Fu Yunshen was angry at himself, feeling useless. Despite his efforts during rehabilitation, he felt it was all in vain. He even considered giving up. Fu Yunshen wanted to stand up as soon as possible, but his current condition was not up to par with Zhu Jiu's expectations. He had once seen a glimmer of hope and had pushed himself hard during rehabilitation in China, but it had resulted in a fracture due to overexertion.

The doctor informed Chairman Jiang that Fu Yunshen's treatment was very weak at the moment. They even suggested transferring him to another hospital. Fu Yunshen had begun to lose his courage, and he even wanted to bathe by himself. Chen Le had wanted to help, but Fu Yunshen refused. As Chen Le looked at Fu Yunshen, he seemed like a soulless person. Fu Yunshen hated himself for being useless. He desperately wanted to stand up, but after many attempts with no results, he contemplated giving up. One night, Zhu Jiu heard Fu Yunshen screaming. He had a nightmare and woke up, surprised to see that Zhu Jiu was still there. Fu Yunshen told Zhu Jiu to leave, but she pretended not to hear and even offered to tell him a bedtime story. Fu Yunshen said he was tired and wanted to sleep, so Zhu Jiu covered him with a blanket and bid him goodnight. She noticed a bracelet she had given him at his bedside, which warmed her heart.

Zhou Zhizhi planned to pack her bags and visit Fu Yunshen. Gu Ruanruan wanted to inform him, but Zhou Zhizhi wanted to keep it a surprise. Zhu Jiu arrived to deliver medicine to Fu Yunshen and found him drinking alcohol. He told her not to interfere, so in anger, she drank two glasses of alcohol. Zhu Jiu ended up getting drunk that night, went to Fu Yunshen's room, and even climbed onto his bed, kissing him. Fu Yunshen couldn't stop her, so he called Linda for help. Before Linda arrived, Fu Yunshen secretly hugged Zhu Jiu. When Zhu Jiu woke up, she remembered her behavior while drunk and felt strangely happy about it.

In the morning, Linda prepared porridge for Zhu Jiu. She mentioned that Fu Yunshen actually had a good temper, but recent events had made him irritable. Fu Xizhou had sent his spy, Sun Cheng, to monitor Fu Yunshen, and he had secretly taken photos of Zhu Jiu. Sun Cheng sent the pictures to Fu Xizhou, who immediately recognized Zhu Jiu. Gu Ruanruan picked up Fu Xizhou after work and mentioned that they hadn't had a meal together for a long time. Fu Xizhou had been busy with work and had stomachaches. Gu Ruanruan used her necklace to hypnotize him to rest, and Fu Xizhou closed his eyes. Gu Ruanruan secretly kissed him and, thinking he was asleep, left with a smile. However, Fu Xizhou wasn't asleep and couldn't help but smile too. Fu Xizhou was currently living in Gu Ruanruan's house, and they had been together for a year. Their parents wanted them to have a wedding soon, but Fu Xizhou wasn't too keen on it, and Gu Ruanruan supported his decision.

Under Gu Ruanruan's playful persuasion, her parents eventually agreed. Gu Ruanruan happily left the dining table, saying she would choose an auspicious date. When Gu Ruanruan left, her mother advised Fu Xizhou not to let Gu Ruanruan cry, and Fu Xizhou promised her, reassuring her. The family continued to enjoy their meal happily.

Zhu Jiu made noodles for herself and even prepared a bowl for her dog, Wutong. However, Wutong had no interest in eating it, so Zhu Jiu tried a bite herself, praising it as delicious. She then brought it over to Fu Yunshen. As soon as she entered, she wished Fu Yunshen a happy birthday and playfully spun the eggs in her bowl while reciting blessings. She peeled one and offered it to Fu Yunshen. Under Zhu Jiu's coquettish persuasion, Fu Yunshen agreed to eat the longevity noodles she had cooked. Zhu Jiu happily went to fetch the noodles, and as Fu Yunshen ate the egg, he couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Jiu entered the study with a pot of mint. She greeted Fu Yunshen energetically, saying good morning, and helped him open the curtains. When the sunlight streamed in, Fu Yunshen was momentarily startled and closed his eyes, a memory of the accident flashing before him. Zhu Jiu held the mint in front of Fu Yunshen, suggesting he take a whiff of its fragrance. However, Fu Yunshen asked her to take it away. Zhu Jiu insisted, but Fu Yunshen unexpectedly swatted the flowerpot from her hand, causing it to shatter on the floor. Zhu Jiu felt a bit upset as she cleaned up the pieces, and she accidentally cut her hand. Fu Yunshen expressed his dislike for others making decisions for him, then asked Zhu Jiu to close the curtains, which she did before silently leaving the room. Fu Yunshen continued to flip through a page of his book.

The next day at work, Ji Silang and Leo noticed Zhu Jiu's injury and asked about it. Zhu Jiu only mentioned that she had been cut by a vase fragment. Leo immediately guessed it was related to Fu Yunshen. Upon hearing this, Ji Silang's expression stiffened briefly. After Zhu Jiu left, Leo asked Ji Silang if he liked Zhu Jiu. Ji Silang admitted that he didn't know what kind of feelings he had for her.

Zhou Zhizhi visited Fu Yunshen's home and entered the study. She had a long conversation with Fu Yunshen and helped him clean up the flowerpot shards. She picked up the fallen mint and asked if she could dispose of it. Fu Yunshen said she could. At that moment, Zhu Jiu entered the room and introduced herself as the family doctor. Seeing the mint in Zhou Zhizhi's hand, Zhu Jiu explained that it was about to be thrown away. However, Fu Yunshen claimed that he had asked Zhou Zhizhi to dispose of it and ordered Zhu Jiu to leave. Sadly, Zhu Jiu left the room. Soon after, Fu Yunshen asked Zhou Zhizhi to leave as well.

Fu Xizhou brought Gu Ruanruan to visit the place where he had grown up, and Gu Ruanruan was very happy. Hearing that Fu Yunshen had a slight cough, Zhu Jiu went upstairs to take his temperature. Coincidentally, Zhou Zhizhi brought chicken soup for Fu Yunshen. Zhu Jiu cautioned that drinking chicken soup when one's throat wasn't feeling well could worsen the condition. Zhou Zhizhi then informed Zhu Jiu that she wouldn't need to come anymore as she would be Fu Yunshen's new family doctor. Zhu Jiu suggested having Leo talk to her about it and left. Fu Yunshen apologized to Zhou Zhizhi.

Gu Ruanruan called Zhou Zhizhi, and they discussed their recent relationship statuses. Zhu Jiu also returned the wallet she had found, which belonged to Ji Silang, and they chatted for a while. In the office, Ji Silang took out a photo of himself and Yan Ning from his wallet, looked at it, and then placed it inside a book. Linda gave Zhou Zhizhi a couple's bracelet, hoping she would give it to Fu Yunshen. Zhou Zhizhi looked at the bracelet but ultimately decided to throw it away. Coincidentally, Zhu Jiu saw her and questioned her. Zhou Zhizhi claimed that Fu Yunshen had asked her to get rid of it. Annoyed, Zhu Jiu went to the study and tossed the bracelet onto Fu Yunshen, demanding an explanation. Fu Yunshen said it meant what she thought, and Zhu Jiu, feeling heartbroken, began packing her things to leave. Before leaving, she handed Linda the collection of bedtime stories she had written for Fu Yunshen. Zhou Zhizhi tried to persuade Fu Yunshen to return to Shanghai with her, but he rejected her, telling her to leave. Fu Xizhou and Gu Ruanruan joyfully received their marriage certificate. Fu Xizhou's secretary provocatively sent wedding candy to Jiang Shuning. She called Luo Jiang and asked him to sign the contract for the Singapore project without informing Fu Lingtian. Under pressure and persuasion, Luo Jiang agreed. Jiang Shuning then revealed to Chen Le that she had sent Zhou Zhizhi to Heidelberg, surprising him.

Initially, Chen Le felt a lot of guilt because Fu Yunshen's recovery wasn't going well. He believed that if he had been driving that day, such an issue wouldn't have arisen. Zhou Zhizhi had been comforting Chen Le all along, emphasizing that they needed to stay strong to help Fu Yunshen. Chen Le found out about clinical trials related to neurological conditions in Heidelberg and thought it could be an opportunity. He discussed it with Manager Jiang, who initially disagreed but later agreed.

Zhu Jiu called her grandmother, who had just finished teaching children to read ancient poetry. Zhu Jiu expressed her regret about not being able to spend the New Year with her this year, but her grandmother assured her that she had gotten used to it and reminded Zhu Jiu to take care of her health.

Zhu Jiu sent a text message to Chen Le, informing him that she had resigned. Chen Le called Zhu Jiu to inquire about the reason for her resignation. After much contemplation, Chen Le decided to tell Zhu Jiu about Fu Yunshen's situation. He emphasized that Zhu Jiu was the only one who could help Fu Yunshen now, and if she gave up, Fu Yunshen might truly have no one to turn to.

While walking on the street, Zhu Jiu encountered a former patient who begged her to help save a friend. However, when Zhu Jiu arrived at the scene, she realized that she had been deceived. The person did not want to let her leave and attempted to take advantage of her. Zhu Jiu tried to escape, but she was knocked unconscious. In her hazy state, she noticed a nearby wine bottle and used it to strike the person in the head. Despite defending herself, Zhu Jiu was taken to the police station and accused of intentionally harming someone.

Zhu Jiu tried to call Ji Jingtang and another colleague, but neither of them answered. Fortunately, Linda called and asked Zhu Jiu to come home to check on their dog, who had not been eating well recently. Zhu Jiu asked Linda for help and mentioned that she was currently at the police station. Linda quickly informed Fu Yunshen about the situation. Fu Yunshen was surprised to learn that Zhu Jiu had almost been sexually assaulted. He attempted to stand up from his wheelchair using crutches and ended up falling down the stairs. Zhou Zhizhi, who was upstairs, witnessed the incident and asked Fu Yunshen where he wanted to go. Fu Yunshen remained silent.

Later, Fu Yunshen took Linda to the vicinity of Zhu Jiu's assault, hoping to find surveillance cameras. While Fu Yunshen could have entrusted this to a lawyer, the lawyer was out of town. Fu Yunshen wanted to investigate the matter himself to expedite Zhu Jiu's release. It was snowing heavily at the time, and Linda wanted Fu Yunshen to go back home, but he happened to spot the surveillance cameras near the scene of Zhu Jiu's assault. He successfully located the scene where Zhu Jiu had been attacked.

Zhu Jiu was released on bail thanks to Fu Yunshen's lawyer. When she learned that Fu Yunshen had also come, she was thrilled. However, when she enthusiastically approached Fu Yunshen, he remained cold and distant. After Fu Yunshen left, Zhu Jiu couldn't hold back her tears. Zhu Jiu learned from the lawyer that the evidence had been collected by Fu Yunshen himself, and he intended to sue the man who had assaulted her. Zhu Jiu couldn't understand why Fu Yunshen was helping her despite his cold demeanor.

Zhou Zhizhi happened to arrive and revealed the whole truth to Zhu Jiu. Realizing that she had no chance with Fu Yunshen, Zhou Zhizhi implored Zhu Jiu to help him. Zhu Jiu was grateful to Zhou Zhizhi for sharing the information and hurriedly went to the villa. In reality, Fu Yunshen hadn't thrown away the mint; he had been silently caring for it. When Zhu Jiu arrived, she immediately kissed Fu Yunshen, and this time he didn't push her away. Fu Yunshen was concerned that being with him might be tough in the future, but Zhu Jiu didn't mind and wanted to face whatever challenges together.

Fu Yunshen found Leo and expressed his desire to join the clinical trial for olfactory cells. Leo was still concerned about the risks and advised Fu Yunshen not to tell Zhu Jiu for now. Fu Yunshen wanted to wait until the surgery was successful before discussing it with her. Currently, Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen were in good spirits. Fu Yunshen saw a happy family together and felt a sense of envy. Later, he informed Zhu Jiu that he was preparing for the surgery. Zhu Jiu was worried about the risks and didn't want to lose Fu Yunshen.

Fu Xizhou saw the video of the past argument between Jiang Zong and his mother at home, and he was very angry. He even developed a hatred towards Jiang Zong. Sun Cheng called Fu Xizhou and said that Zhu Jiu had gone to the villa again. Fu Xizhou asked Sun Cheng to continue monitoring her.

After returning home, Zhou Zhizhi met Gu Ruanruan. Zhou Zhizhi mentioned that Fu Yunshen already had a girlfriend and expressed her desire to give up. She used to think that as long as she worked hard, everything would be fine, but now she realized it wasn't that simple. Gu Ruanruan held Zhou Zhizhi's hand and said she would support whatever decision she made. Zhou Zhizhi couldn't hold back her tears and cried.

Soon, it was New Year's, and Gu Ruanruan went home with Fu Xizhou to hang up the "福" character with his grandfather. Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen also celebrated New Year's together. Zhu Jiu mentioned that she used to spend New Year's with her family and expressed some concerns about Fu Yunshen's grandfather. Fu Yunshen said his brother should be fine.

In fact, Fu Yunshen didn't know how to face his grandfather. Zhu Jiu reassured him that she would stand by his side no matter what happened. Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu continued to display affection in front of Leo, which annoyed Leo. He complained about how lovey-dovey they were and noticed that Zhu Jiu had become even nicer to Fu Yunshen.

Although his grandfather didn't say it out loud, he missed Fu Yunshen a lot. Gu Ruanruan comforted him, and the grandfather felt angry that his grandson didn't answer his calls. Gu Ruanruan also called Fu Yunshen, but he still didn't answer. Just then, Fu Yunshen called on a video call, and the grandfather was initially angry, but all his anger disappeared when he saw his grandson.

Fu Yunshen also introduced Zhu Jiu to his grandfather. Zhu Jiu was a bit uncomfortable but had to greet the grandfather. Zhu Jiu bought a cute earmuff for Fu Yunshen. Fu Yunshen wanted to do many things with Zhu Jiu but couldn't go anywhere due to his wheelchair. However, Zhu Jiu didn't mind and felt that being together with Fu Yunshen was enough.

Fu Yunshen asked Zhu Jiu to close her eyes and then lit fireworks. Zhu Jiu was very happy when she saw it and kept playing with the fireworks. They made a wish together with a fairy wand, and Zhu Jiu's only wish was to always be with Fu Yunshen.

They counted down to the New Year in the snow, and when the New Year's bell rang, Fu Yunshen kissed Zhu Jiu on the forehead. Even though they were in a foreign land, taking care of each other was enough for them.

Gu Ruanruan wanted to have a date with Fu Xizhou, as they hadn't had alone time for a long time. Fu Xizhou agreed and even adjusted his schedule. Unknowingly, Fu Xizhou had developed feelings for Gu Ruanruan, and he didn't want to marry her just for her family background.

After undergoing surgery in the hospital, Fu Yunshen's operation was successful, and he could feel some sensation in his lower limbs. Gu Ruanruan invited Fu Xizhou to accompany her to try on wedding dresses. However, Fu Xizhou was busy with work and kept praising every dress she tried on. Gu Ruanruan became angry, and when Fu Xizhou realized her mood was not good, she had already left.

Gu Ruanruan didn't want to buy anything; she just wanted Fu Xizhou to be with her. When she returned home, she vented to Zhou Zhizhi, who comforted her. Fu Xizhou called her, and she thought he was going to apologize, but she learned he was going on a business trip again. Gu Ruanruan hung up the phone.

When Gu Ruanruan returned home, she found that Fu Xizhou had bought a wedding dress for her and said it was the most beautiful one when she wore it. Gu Ruanruan said she didn't care, but she was actually quite happy. Fu Xizhou went to negotiate a business deal and now had his own ideas.

Zhu Jiu accompanied Fu Yunshen for rehabilitation treatment. Fu Yunshen could now take a few steps forward, and he was content with his progress. Zhu Jiu advised him not to rush, and he was doing very well. Zhu Jiu was very happy.

Actually, Zhu Jiu felt some guilt. Fu Yunshen was working so hard, and she couldn't help much. Fu Yunshen told her that as long as she was by his side, it was enough.

Although Fu Yunshen has regained some sensation in his legs, his recovery has not yet reached the doctor's ideal state. The doctor mentioned that if it continues this way, another surgical examination may be necessary. Zhu Jiu remains very worried, but Fu Yunshen keeps reassuring her not to worry about his condition.

When they return home at night, Zhu Jiu continues to comfort Fu Yunshen. Now that he has some sensation, it indicates that his nervous system is in a state of recovery. Fu Yunshen holds Zhu Jiu, and sometimes he feels sorry for her. After a busy day at work, he still massages himself at night. When he falls asleep, Zhu Jiu leaves. Zhu Jiu is still helping Fu Yunshen with his rehabilitation. Fu Yunshen has started to improve, and they are very happy together. Fu Yunshen can now walk to Zhu Jiu with the help of a cane, and Zhu Jiu is delighted.

After finishing work, Fu Xizhou returns home, and when he arrives, Gu Ruanruan hears the sound of a car starting and rushes out to find Fu Xizhou completely drunk. Jiang Zong, upon hearing the news about his son's legs, is very happy and even sheds tears. He instructs Fu Yunshen to inform his grandfather of this good news. Jiang Zong's heart is finally at ease, and he naturally hopes that his son can inherit the family business.

Gu Ruanruan's father is complaining about Jiang Zong, who came to the company today and bragged about his son's recovery. Although Fu Yunshen is very capable, he can only do research and development work and is not suitable for managing the company. Fu Yunshen can now use a cane. Leo is worried about the research and development work related to Peidu, and Fu Yunshen suddenly gives him some advice. Leo immediately rushes to the lab to continue his work. Fu Yunshen designs a watch himself and sends it to Hans. Zhu Jiu receives a call from Uncle Hans and learns that he has returned. However, Uncle Hans is sick this time and talks about what happened in M country over the past year. He has tried many ways to replace Peidu but couldn't extract the same components. For the sake of the children's health, Fu Yunshen plans to call his brother and ask if he can provide some Peidu for Hans to continue his research. Fu Yunshen calls Fu Xizhou, who initially doesn't want to answer but eventually does. However, there seems to be a distance between them, and Fu Yunshen hopes his brother will provide some Peidu, but Fu Xizhou refuses and mentions that Fu Yunshen has already paid a great price for it. Fu Yunshen tries to explain, but Fu Xizhou uses a meeting as an excuse to hang up.

Gu Ruanruan had prepared a meal at home and was waiting for Fu Xizhou to come back, but he returned very late. Fu Xizhou apologizes and reheats the meal. Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu look at photos of the children, bringing back memories. Fu Yunshen expresses his intention to continue searching for a solution to the children's condition. Fu Yunshen also mentions that the relationships in his family are tense, and he feels stuck in the middle. However, Zhu Jiu has always been on his side.

The grandfather also contacts Fu Xizhou, feeling that the relationship between Fu Xizhou and Fu Yunshen is becoming more distant. He believes that Fu Yunshen will return soon. Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu were about to buy some things and return home when they encountered the man who had previously tried to harm Zhu Jiu. Since the last incident, he had spent some time in the police station. He taunts Fu Yunshen for being disabled and believes that it would be easy to deal with him. Zhu Jiu is trapped, and the man starts attacking Fu Yunshen's wound. Fu Yunshen starts bleeding, and the man quickly leaves. Zhu Jiu is in a state of panic and screams for help.

Although Fu Yunshen is rushed to the hospital, the rescue is timely. However, he will need to wait for some time to continue his rehabilitation treatment. Zhu Jiu feels very guilty, thinking that if it weren't for her, the man wouldn't have found Fu Yunshen. She also knows that Fu Yunshen is eager to return to the laboratory, but after this incident, his plans have been thwarted. In China, Fu Xizhou has been promoted, and Gu Ruanruan wants to throw a party for him. Everyone is supposed to bring their families, and Fu Xizhou agrees to this. Jiang Zong tries to call his son but doesn't get a response. He later learns that his son has been admitted to the hospital again. Jiang Zong quickly instructs his secretary to book the earliest flight to Heidelberg.

Fu Yunshen, however, doesn't provide a reason and only mentions that they encountered a robbery. He doesn't want his mother to come back.

Originally, Fu Xizhou had arranged for his subordinates to prevent Fu Yunshen from coming back. However, he didn't expect that the group of people who attacked Fu Yunshen would turn out to be the ones he had arranged. Fu Xizhou was very angry when he found out and even scolded his subordinates. He later expelled them from the company.

Jiang Zong (Mr. Jiang) had been taking care of Fu Yunshen all this time. Jiang Zong mentioned that Fu Xizhou had already fired all his people. Fu Yunshen was aware of the ongoing conflict between his mother and brother, but he didn't take sides. Jiang Zong wanted Fu Yunshen to return to China, as the entire business would eventually belong to him. However, Fu Yunshen wasn't too concerned about this and urged his mother to take some rest, as he couldn't return in his current condition.

After returning to the villa, Jiang Zong asked Linda about how Fu Yunshen got injured. Linda initially explained it as a robbery but later, under pressure from Jiang Zong, revealed the truth. Jiang Zong learned that it had something to do with Zhu Jiu. He then called Zhu Jiu and thanked her for taking care of Fu Yunshen. He also gave her some money and stated that they no longer needed a family doctor. At this point, Fu Yunshen still didn't know what had happened and messaged Zhu Jiu to meet tomorrow. Zhu Jiu didn't know how to reply.

Zhu Jiu had been thinking about the money Jiang Zong gave her all night. Early in the morning, she went to Fu Yunshen and told him about the money. Fu Yunshen asked her if she would leave him because of the money, to which she replied that she had thought about it all night and would still choose to stay. She felt a bit aggrieved that Jiang Zong had denied her, but she would try to make him accept her.

Fu Yunshen was quite happy, as they were still on good terms. He took the opportunity to hug Zhu Jiu. After coming out, Zhu Jiu met Jiang Zong, and she calmly told him that she had informed Fu Yunshen about their meeting the previous day, which surprised Jiang Zong. She then went to take care of her son as if nothing had happened.

Fu Yunshen soon recovered, and Jiang Zong returned to Shanghai. After a period of rehabilitation training, Fu Yunshen no longer needed crutches and could now go out with Zhu Jiu. Due to his work commitments in research and development, Fu Yunshen had to return to China as soon as possible. Zhu Jiu was very reluctant to see him go. Before leaving, Fu Yunshen reassured her that he would always love only her.

Upon his return to Shanghai, Fu Yunshen visited his grandfather, who was very happy to see him. Jiang Zong complained to his son about the numerous calls he made to Fu Xizhou, but Fu Yunshen asked his mother not to be too hard on his brother, as Fu Xizhou was likely busy with work. Fu Yunshen went to the company and encountered Fu Xizhou. He wanted to have dinner together, but Fu Xizhou declined, claiming to be too busy, which left Fu Yunshen feeling a bit disappointed.

Fu Yunshen returned home, and Chen Le and his team celebrated his return. He immediately got busy with work-related matters. He then presented a proposal to Fu Xizhou, hoping to secure opportunities for Peidu (probably a project or business). Fu Yunshen wanted to take responsibility for Peidu and use patent funds to avoid causing problems for the company. However, Fu Xizhou still refused to agree.

On his first day back at work, Fu Yunshen worked late into the night. He couldn't believe that his brother's refusal back then was due to financial difficulties in the company. Now that the crisis was resolved, his brother still didn't agree, and Fu Yunshen felt that their relationship had changed.

Zhu Jiu returned to Shanghai and surprised her grandmother by visiting her quietly. Her grandmother was thrilled to see her, as she hadn't come back in a long time. Photos of the family were still on display at home, and Zhu Jiu thought about how nice it would be if her parents were still alive.

Fu Yunshen received a call from the front desk informing him of his package. As he approached the front desk to collect it, Zhu Jiu called out to him from behind. Fu Yunshen recognized her voice immediately, and a smile appeared on his face.

Fu Yunshen received a call from Leo and learned that Pedu's extracted drug could actually resist Danmin syndrome. This was much stronger than the project they had in mind, and Fu Yunshen felt very happy. Grandfather found Fu Xizhou and accused him of not showing up at Fu Yunshen's welcome banquet. Fu Xizhou had to make excuses, saying he was discussing work, but Grandfather was still somewhat displeased.

Fu Yunshen bought flowers and coffee to pick up Zhu Jiu after work. The hospital where Zhu Jiu is currently working happens to be the one where Zhou Zhizhi is known to be. When Zhou Zhizhi saw Fu Yunshen with Zhu Jiu, she couldn't accept it and made an excuse to leave. In fact, Zhou Zhizhi envied Zhu Jiu because she could be with Fu Yunshen. When Zhu Jiu returned home, she saw her grandmother teaching children, and it warmed her heart. The grandmother, seeing Zhu Jiu's happy appearance, knew she must be in love. Zhu Jiu even mentioned the opportunity to bring Fu Yunshen to meet her grandmother, and the grandmother was very enthusiastic.

Fu Yunshen spent the evening organizing documents, wanting to complete Pedu's files as soon as possible. Fu Yunshen also told Chen Le to inform everyone about the meeting tomorrow morning, as the Pedu project had new developments. Zhou Zhizhi also told Gu Ruanruan about Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen at the hospital. Gu Ruanruan sympathized with Zhou Zhizhi and even introduced a new blind date to her. This time, Zhou Zhizhi did not refuse, thinking that the best way to forget her loved one is to quickly enter into another relationship.

Fu Yunshen attended Gu Ruanruan's art exhibition, where many photos were taken during their time at M. Gu Ruanruan introduced her paintings, and when she saw Fu Yunshen, she quickly greeted him. Fu Yunshen sincerely asked how Gu Ruanruan was doing. Today, he felt that his brother had changed a lot. Gu Ruanruan quickly denied it, even suggesting that if Fu Yunshen felt that Fu Xizhou had changed, he should talk to him directly.

Fu Yunshen accompanied Zhu Jiu home, and as they arrived downstairs, they saw Grandma. Fu Yunshen greeted her, and Grandma liked Fu Yunshen very much. Grandma even forgot to cook and instead made tea for Fu Yunshen. Zhou Zhizhi went to meet her blind date and wanted to chat with him, but there was always some reluctance in her heart. The guy asked Zhou Zhizhi what kind of wine she wanted, but Zhou Zhizhi seemed absent-minded.

Fu Yunshen's words made Grandma very happy, and she really liked him. After dinner, Fu Yunshen visited Zhu Jiu's room to get to know her better. In the evening, Zhou Zhizhi thought of her childhood and her biggest wish to see snow on her birthday. Fu Yunshen created a scene of snow with foam, which made Zhou Zhizhi very happy. This was one of the reasons Zhou Zhizhi started to like Fu Yunshen.

Sun Cheng, hired by Fu Xizhou, tried to extort a million from him after Fu Xizhou hit him last time. Fu Xizhou refused, and Sun Cheng even threatened to tell Grandpa about it, but Fu Xizhou didn't care. Since Fu Yunshen returned, Fu Xizhou had no time for Gu Ruanruan. His secretary told him about Jiang Jun's nephew causing trouble, but Fu Xizhou didn't want to deal with it too much, just wanting to wait and see. Jiang Jun also mentioned a project, and after learning it was reliable, Fu Xizhou was willing to give it a try.

Gu Ruanruan really liked children, but when her parents asked about it, she said she didn't. During dinner with Gu Ruanruan, her mother deliberately brought up the topic of having children soon, but Fu Xizhou said he didn't have plans for that at the moment. Gu Ruanruan had no choice but to go along with Fu Xizhou's statement. Although she really wanted children, Fu Xizhou said it was not that he didn't want them, but now was not the time. Gu Ruanruan felt disappointed and left directly.

Fu Yunshen found Fu Xizhou and asked if he knew Sun Cheng. Naturally, Sun Cheng told Fu Yunshen the whole truth. Fu Yunshen asked if this matter was related to Fu Xizhou, and this time, Fu Xizhou did not deny it. Fu Xizhou didn't understand why his brother treated him like this. He had never thought of competing with Fu Yunshen, but he felt that as long as Fu Yunshen returned, he would be a threat.

This time, Fu Xizhou completely confronted Fu Yunshen. Fu Xizhou asked his younger brother why he had returned, and Fu Yunshen felt that his brother was driven by ruthless ambition for profit. He then turned and left. In reality, Fu Xizhou had his own troubles, but he didn't express them. However, their conversation was overheard by Gu Ruanruan. Gu Ruanruan speculated that Fu Yunshen must have returned because of the car accident that happened years ago. However, Fu Xizhou didn't discuss anything with Gu Ruanruan. Surprisingly, Fu Xizhou even shouted at Gu Ruanruan and then left in anger.

Fu Yunshen went to practice fencing, reminiscing about the scenes when he and his brother were close. When their father passed away, Fu Xizhou had been there to accompany him through his grief. However, since the car accident, their relationship had changed, and it seemed like they could never go back to the way it was.

Fu Xizhou looked at his mother's photo and remembered the scene of their mother's funeral after the car accident. Everyone focused on Fu Yunshen and never paid attention to Fu Xizhou. This was the most painful part for Fu Xizhou.

After drinking quite a bit, Fu Yunshen arrived at Zhu Jiu's doorstep. He mentioned that the person who attacked him in Heidelberg was sent by his brother. Zhu Jiu knew that Fu Yunshen must be feeling very sad and quickly took him upstairs to rest.

Gu Ruanruan had also been drinking alone at home. Even though Fu Xizhou had never shown anger towards her for a long time, he surprisingly shouted at her this time.

Zhu Jiu had been with Fu Yunshen throughout the night. Originally, Fu Yunshen was sleeping on the bed, and Zhu Jiu was on the floor. In the morning, Fu Yunshen tried to steal a kiss from Zhu Jiu, but she woke up. Zhu Jiu wanted Fu Yunshen to leave quickly because they were still just dating, and she didn't want her grandmother to get the wrong idea. However, her aunt arrived and happened to see Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu together. Her aunt even complained that her mother had given money to her granddaughter to study abroad, only for her to end up dating.

At first, her aunt was very disdainful of Fu Yunshen, but after learning about his job, she quickly changed her attitude. Her grandmother, who was present, couldn't take it anymore. Zhu Jiu pretended that Fu Yunshen was late for work and quickly took him away. Zhu Jiu believed that there must be a misunderstanding between Fu Yunshen and his brother. Fu Yunshen also knew this, so he said he would find an opportunity to clarify things.

Her aunt had come back to secretly take some supplements from their home for her son. Her grandmother scolded her for this. Her aunt had even found out that Zhu Jiu's boyfriend was the second young master of Lingtian, and they were sure to be wealthy in the future. Her mother advised her not to covet this house.

Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou met at the company, and it felt like they were complete strangers. In the evening, when Fu Xizhou returned home, Gu Ruanruan heard him, but this time she didn't want to initiate contact. She hoped that Fu Xizhou would come to her on his own, but when Fu Xizhou reached the door of Gu Ruanruan's studio, she turned off the lights, so Fu Xizhou had to leave.

At night, Fu Xizhou slept on the couch, and Gu Ruanruan couldn't sleep in her bed either. Both of them wanted to talk to each other, but they didn't know how to start.

Gu Ruanruan went shopping at the supermarket in anger, and Zhou Zhizhi was there to comfort her. Fu Yunshen also found Gu Ruanruan and told her about how Fu Xizhou had someone attack him. Gu Ruanruan said she knew about it. Fu Yunshen also mentioned that he would report this to the police, and Gu Ruanruan quickly explained that Fu Xizhou had become like this because the person Fu Yunshen had avoided in the car accident was Fu Xizhou's mother, who also died in that accident. Fu Yunshen didn't want to report his brother; he just wanted to know the truth.

Fu Yunshen hurriedly found his brother Fu Xizhou and learned that he had come over to practice fencing together. Fu Yunshen apologized, but Fu Xizhou said that he only wanted the company now. Fu Yunshen asked his brother to trust him, but Fu Xizhou replied that he only trusted himself.

While putting up posters, Gu Ruanruan suddenly fell down the stairs and nearly suffered a concussion. Fu Xizhou rushed to the hospital, but Gu Ruanruan felt that there was no honesty left between them. Fu Xizhou clearly stated that he couldn't be completely transparent with anyone. He even suggested that if Gu Ruanruan couldn't find happiness with him, she should reconsider their relationship.

At the hospital, Zhu Jiu unexpectedly ran into Ji Silang, who had returned from abroad. Zhu Jiu was very happy, and he even invited her to dinner that night.

Fu Yunshen drank quite a bit alone at home and gradually realized that he also had feelings for Gu Ruanruan. However, he had set boundaries in his heart, so he couldn't express his feelings.

When Mr. Jiang went to work, Sun Cheng found her and even mentioned that he knew how her son got injured in Heidelberg. Fu Xizhou even arranged for other people to visit Fu Yunshen's research and development department without prior notice, which made Fu Yunshen very angry.

Mr. Jiang learned that it was Fu Xizhou who caused his son's injury abroad. Mr. Jiang went to find Fu Xizhou, and they had a dispute. Mr. Jiang insulted Fu Xizhou's mother, and in anger, Fu Xizhou grabbed Mr. Jiang's neck. Fu Yunshen rushed over and pulled his brother away. Afterwards, Fu Yunshen quickly took his mother to the hospital. Mr. Jiang began to worry that Fu Xizhou might harm his son in the future. She was not concerned about herself but was most worried about comforting Fu Yunshen. She told Fu Yunshen that true freedom comes with power. Fu Yunshen promised his mother that he would reclaim what was rightfully his, but the condition was not to tell his grandfather about Sun Cheng's actions. Mr. Jiang agreed.

Later, Fu Yunshen went to the company and learned from Chen Le that everyone had been called to a meeting by Professor Yuan. No one wanted to go, but they had no choice. Fu Xizhou had initially asked his secretary to buy something for Gu Ruanruan but decided against it, deciding to handle it himself.

Mr. Jiang originally wanted Fu Yunshen to have dinner at Zhou Zhizhi's house tonight, but Fu Yunshen refused. Fu Xizhou bought snacks, intending to give them to Gu Ruanruan, but she had returned to her family, so Fu Xizhou had to go home first. After returning home, Fu Yunshen's mother quickly cooked for her daughter. Gu Ruanruan didn't tell her parents about her quarrel with Fu Xizhou.

After work, Fu Yunshen went to pick up Zhu Jiu. Originally, today was supposed to be the day he officially took Fu Yunshen home, but due to Zhu Jiu's overtime, they could only spend time at the hospital. Fu Yunshen wasn't angry; as long as he could be with Zhu Jiu, it was enough. The two ate instant noodles together, and Zhu Jiu asked about the relationship between Fu Yunshen and his brother. Fu Yunshen said the situation was not good. He also wanted to travel with Zhu Jiu, but she said they might lose their jobs if they played like that. Fu Yunshen told Zhu Jiu that he wanted to introduce her officially to his mother and grandfather on the weekend, but Zhu Jiu felt unprepared. Fu Yunshen reassured her, saying that he would always be by her side.

Gu Ruanruan's mother wanted her daughter and Fu Xizhou to have a honeymoon trip together. Gu Ruanruan asked if her parents had hidden anything. Her mother admitted there were many things but said that in marriage, unless there were substantive mistakes, one had to pretend not to know. These words touched Gu Ruanruan. Later, Gu Ruanruan's mother felt that something was wrong with her daughter. Her husband reassured her, attributing it to Fu Xizhou being too busy lately, not having time to accompany their daughter.

After Fu Yunshen returned home, his mother asked him to apologize to Zhou Zhizhi's family when he had time. Fu Yunshen said he wanted to bring his girlfriend home this weekend. Mr. Jiang reluctantly agreed. During a board meeting, Fu Yunshen announced a new discovery in his research direction. However, Fu Xizhou was the first to stand up and oppose Fu Yunshen. He even thought Fu Yunshen was somewhat delusional and claimed that a foreign company wanted to buy their project. Fu Yunshen was very angry and openly hit Fu Xizhou. A dispute was about to break out, but Chen Le quickly pulled Fu Yunshen away, and Fu Xizhou left directly. It can be said that Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou are now openly in conflict.

After finishing work, Gu Ruanruan's colleagues wanted to give her a ride home, but it wasn't on the way. Gu Ruanruan tactfully declined. At this time, Fu Xizhou came to find Gu Ruanruan and offered to give her a ride home. Midway through the journey, Gu Ruanruan suddenly asked Fu Xizhou to stop. In fact, she had bought an egg for Fu Yunshen to reduce swelling. Gu Ruanruan also felt sorry for Fu Xizhou, and their relationship somewhat eased.

Fu Yunshen received a call from Zhu Jiu. Fu Xizhou had not contacted Zhu Jiu all day. Fu Yunshen didn't tell Zhu Jiu about exposing Fu Xizhou's deception. Zhu Jiu knew that Fu Yunshen had something on his mind. When Gu Ruanruan saw the gift Fu Xizhou gave her, she was even more delighted. Grandfather also knew about the conflict between Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou and said he would hand Du Pei's project to Fu Yuan. Although Fu Xizhou originally wanted to fight for it, he had to compromise after his grandfather's decision. Zhu Jiu had actually met Fu Yunshen's mother when she was abroad. Initially, Mr. Jiang gave Zhu Jiu some money to make her leave, but Zhu Jiu refused. She wanted Mr. Jiang to give her a chance. Mr. Jiang, however, punished Zhu Jiu severely, and she was truly frightened.

After Zhu Jiu returned home, she saw that her grandmother had not yet gone to bed. It turned out that Zhu Jiu's grandmother had already prepared the things she needed to take to Fu Yunshen's house tomorrow. Zhu Jiu was a bit reluctant since these were items her grandmother had saved for a long time. However, her grandmother felt that nothing was more important than her beloved granddaughter, and Zhu Jiu was very happy.

The next day, Fu Yunshen took Zhu Jiu home. Zhu Jiu was still a bit nervous, especially since she had met Fu Yunshen's mother before and knew she was not an easy person. Encouraged by Fu Yunshen, Zhu Jiu still went to Fu Yunshen's home. Grandfather was very happy to see Zhu Jiu and even wanted to know how they had met. He mentioned that Fu Yunshen's mother was upstairs, so Fu Yunshen went to invite her downstairs. However, his mother only acknowledged Zhu Jiu as Fu Yunshen's friend, not as a daughter-in-law. Fu Yunshen, feeling disappointed, closed the door and left.

Grandfather, on the other hand, liked Fu Yunshen and could see the strong bond between the two. While Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen were playing around, Jiang Zong came down and sarcastically mocked Zhu Jiu. Knowing that she had not been accepted by Jiang Zong's mother, Zhu Jiu felt nervous facing Jiang Zong.

During the meal, Fu Yunshen kept serving food to Zhu Jiu. Zhu Jiu could sense that Jiang Zong still had prejudices against her. Jiang Zong even deliberately asked if Zhu Jiu would resign after getting married. Zhu Jiu refused, as she loved her career. Jiang Zong wanted to use strict conditions to make Zhu Jiu realize she wasn't suitable for Fu Yunshen, and Zhu Jiu didn't know how to respond.

Afterward, on the way home, Fu Yunshen apologized to Zhu Jiu. Zhu Jiu was optimistic, telling Fu Yunshen not to worry, as there was still plenty of time. Jiang Zong, after Zhu Jiu left, wanted to give the gift he had prepared for her to the housekeeper. Grandfather advised him not to do such things if he wanted his son to be happy, or he would regret it in the future.

When Zhu Jiu returned home, her grandmother told stories about Zhu Jiu's parents' love. She also warned that families like Fu Yunshen's were likely very influential, and Zhu Jiu should be prepared.

After Fu Yunshen returned home, he looked at his mother sitting aside. Fu Yunshen wanted to have a good conversation with his mother, but she claimed not to understand Zhu Jiu. Moreover, she expressed concerns about Fu Xizhou taking over the company in the future. Fu Yunshen made it clear that he would fight for the company, and Zhu Jiu wouldn't give up on her own. He hoped his mother would respect his choices, even if things didn't work out between him and Zhu Jiu.

The next day, Fu Yunshen informed everyone at work that they would be working on the development of a lymphoma vaccine, which was approved by the board. His colleagues were delighted, and Fu Yunshen invited them to dinner.

In the evening, Fu Yunshen looked at the watch he had designed. He had initially planned to give it to Zhu Jiu but hadn't found the right opportunity. Now, he decided to give it to her. However, Zhu Jiu mentioned she was going to have dinner with Ji Silang, so Fu Yunshen went along, not wanting them to be alone. He deliberately showed affection towards Zhu Jiu, making Ji Silang jealous. When Zhu Jiu went to the bathroom, Fu Yunshen asked Ji Silang if he liked Zhu Jiu, and Ji Silang, unable to hide it, confirmed. Fu Yunshen advised him to let go, as he and Zhu Jiu were getting married. Although Ji Silang appeared calm, he was secretly upset.

After returning home, Fu Yunshen started thinking about how to propose to Zhu Jiu, but none of his fantasies seemed appropriate. Chen Le, seeing Fu Yunshen smiling, guessed that he must be thinking about Zhu Jiu. When Chen Le learned about Fu Yunshen's plan to propose, he offered his suggestions. Later, Fu Yunshen even called his grandmother for advice.

Gu Ruanruan, accompanied by Fu Xizhou, visited the church they had agreed upon. Gu Ruanruan had been waiting for two years, and finally, their wedding was approaching. Zhou Zhizhi specially gave a gift to Gu Ruanruan and asked if she had decided not to have a wedding. Gu Ruanruan used to like romantic weddings, but because of Fu Xizhou, she had been compromising.

Just after finishing work, Zhu Jiu, who was supposed to have dinner with Ji Silang and others, received a call from her grandmother, asking her to come home because someone needed to inspect the wiring. When Zhu Jiu got home, she saw a table full of food and initially thought her grandmother had prepared it. However, when her grandmother didn't show up after a while, Zhu Jiu realized that Fu Yunshen had arranged everything.

Fu Yunshen came out and prepared to give Zhu Jiu the watch he had made. Zhu Jiu, thinking that Fu Yunshen was going to propose, immediately stopped him. Fu Yunshen didn't say the prepared words and just mentioned that he wanted to give Zhu Jiu a watch. Although Zhu Jiu also liked Fu Yunshen, she believed that marriage was a matter between two families. Since Fu Yunshen's mother had not accepted her yet, she couldn't marry him.

When Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen were about to kiss, Fu Yunshen suddenly received a call. Chen Le wanted to know if his proposal was successful, but Fu Yunshen didn't give a clear answer. Instead, he mentioned he would go to the company right away and took the prepared watch with him. When Grandma came back and saw Zhu Jiu's expression, she knew things didn't work out. However, Grandma still thought Fu Yunshen was considerate. Zhu Jiu felt she hadn't made up her mind, and Grandma always stood by Zhu Jiu's side.

Zhu Jiu and Grandma cleaned up together. Grandma's back hurt a bit, so Zhu Jiu quickly asked her to sit and rest. Despite Grandma claiming to be fine, she was not telling the truth. Soon, it was time for Gu Ruanruan and Fu Xizhou's wedding. Gu Ruanruan had been looking forward to this day, and it had finally arrived. However, recent news reported that many children had the flu, and authorities were investigating. Fu Xizhou, busy with work, couldn't answer Gu Ruanruan's calls. Jiang Zong thought this was a crucial issue with Fu Xizhou and even called his father, saying that Fu Xizhou might ruin everything. His father told Jiang Zong to continue handling the matter.

After finishing work, Fu Xizhou saw it was already 12:40, and his phone was filled with missed calls from Gu Ruanruan. Gu Ruanruan had been waiting for Fu Xizhou, but he suggested postponing the ceremony to another day. This completely angered Gu Ruanruan, feeling that Fu Xizhou had been brushing her off. Grandfather also saw many negative news about the company online, and he became very emotional, collapsing to the ground. Fortunately, Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou quickly took him to the hospital. Grandfather asked Fu Yunshen to investigate the matter along with his brother. However, Fu Xizhou left without saying a word. Fu Yunshen assured Grandfather that he would help his brother.

For safety reasons, Zhu Jiu took Grandma to the hospital for an examination. The result revealed a rare and incurable disease. Zhu Jiu considered telling Fu Yunshen about it but decided not to disturb him, thinking he was dealing with the company's issues.

Fu Yunshen called Fu Xizhou and shared the information he had investigated, and Fu Xizhou also provided his findings to Fu Yunshen. Gu Ruanruan waited for Fu Xizhou until it was dark. This time, she was thoroughly disappointed, feeling unimportant to Fu Xizhou. She believed her compromises had led to this outcome.

Zhu Jiu still didn't know how to tell Fu Yunshen about Grandma's illness. Seeing Grandma waiting for her at the door, Zhu Jiu hurriedly asked Grandma to come into the room. Back home, eating the dumplings Grandma made, Zhu Jiu tried hard to hold back tears. However, Grandma sensed that something was amiss, understanding that her condition might not be good.

At night, Zhu Jiu took the opportunity to sleep with Grandma, wanting to spend more time by her side. Grandma asked if Zhu Jiu was facing troubles at work, and Zhu Jiu quickly said no.

When Fu Xizhou returned home at night, Gu Ruanruan stopped him at the door. Feeling like she had been following Fu Xizhou like a tail, she couldn't even finish a sentence when trying to talk to him. Fu Xizhou assured her that he would arrange another ceremony for her, but Gu Ruanruan felt she shouldn't continue following Fu Xizhou. She left directly.

Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou went to Malaysia overnight to see the situation of the children who received the vaccine. The next day, Zhu Jiu finally told her aunt about Grandma's illness. Her aunt, upon learning that Grandma had liver cancer, was initially worried about the treatment costs. She also expressed concern about Grandma's condition and said she would go to the hospital with Zhu Jiu to inquire about the attending physician.

Feeling upset, Gu Ruanruan sought comfort from Zhou Zhizhi. Zhou Zhizhi could only tell lame jokes to cheer Gu Ruanruan up. Gu Ruanruan decided to leave Fu Xizhou.

Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou visited the children at the hospital and apologized to the parents. Fu Yunshen's attitude was sincere, and he reassured them that the vaccine was not fake. Fu Xizhou gave money to the parents, which made them angrier. Fu Xizhou asked for some time to investigate. Afterward, Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou divided the work, hoping to find the cause of the vaccine error.

Zhu Jiu and her aunt went to see the doctor together. The doctor said that as long as they could use a liver from a direct relative, they might be able to save Grandma. Later, the aunt asked the doctor about the risks of donating a liver. She was genuinely worried about her own health. Zhu Jiu pleaded with her aunt, hoping she could save Grandma. That night, after Zhu Jiu returned home, she busied herself washing Grandma's feet. Grandma felt a warm heart, having Zhu Jiu around to help take care of her. Grandma asked if the test results were out, but Zhu Jiu, afraid to tell the truth, said the results were not yet available. Grandma seemed to sense that Zhu Jiu was lying and made an excuse, saying she felt a bit tired and went upstairs.

Zhu Jiu received a call from Fu Yunshen, learning that things were not going smoothly on their end. Zhu Jiu comforted Fu Yunshen, but she still hadn't told him about Grandma's illness, not wanting to distract him as he still had unfinished business. After hanging up, Zhu Jiu called a former colleague, seeking assistance. Zhou Zhizhi took Gu Ruanruan home, and Gu Ruanruan asked her not to tell her parents about the argument with Fu Yunshen for the time being. Fu Xizhou called Gu Ruanruan, but she refused to answer the call, only messaging Fu Yunshen that she needed time to think.

Returning home, Gu Ruanruan saw the inquiry post she had posted online, and people thought she was being unrealistic. Early in the morning, Fu Yunshen, awakened by a call, learned that the other party was willing to reconcile. This was good news for them. Fu Yunshen also obtained some crucial leads, hoping they would assist in their investigation.

The results of Zhu Jiu and her aunt's compatibility test came out. Only her aunt's type matched Grandma's. However, the aunt became anxious, worrying about the potential impact on her health if she donated part of her liver. The doctor could only say there would be some risk. The aunt even considered finding another source of liver. Zhu Jiu could sense that her aunt was reluctant to donate her liver, even though her aunt claimed she wanted to save her mother. Still, the aunt mentioned that if she stayed in the hospital, she wouldn't be able to take care of her son.

After handling matters, Fu Yunshen went to find Fu Xizhou, who was still working. Although there were no issues with the vaccine or the cold chain, there was undoubtedly a problem somewhere in the process. Fu Yunshen then suggested that Fu Xizhou should schedule a meeting with him when he had time. Back in his room, Fu Yunshen called Zhu Jiu via video, acknowledging that the hospital's change in attitude was thanks to her. He was grateful to have Zhu Jiu by his side.

During the meeting, Fu Yunshen briefed everyone on the vaccine situation. They hadn't found any issues with the vaccine during their examination. The other party also approved of their transportation. The next step was to find the root cause. Zhu Jiu went to see her aunt and discovered her sister's husband engaging in domestic violence. Zhu Jiu intervened as her brother-in-law not only assaulted her sister but also took money intended for their child's tutoring. Zhu Jiu learned that the brother-in-law had a gambling problem and had recently lost his job, making him very upset. Zhu Jiu hoped her aunt would pay attention to this issue, emphasizing that domestic violence tends to repeat. Although her aunt faced many difficulties, Zhu Jiu encouraged her to persevere.

In reality, her aunt had her own hardships. Zhu Jiu gave her all the money she had, but her aunt insisted on returning it, saying that if Zhu Jiu came to convince her to undergo surgery, she should take the money back. Zhu Jiu explained that it wasn't the case and assured her that she would find a solution for Grandma's situation.

Fu Xizhou and Fu Yunshen returned to China. Chen Le and Fu Xizhou's secretary picked them up. Fu Yunshen's first action upon returning was to go to the hospital to find Zhu Jiu. At this point, Zhu Jiu was still troubled. Fu Yunshen noticed her unhappiness and asked if something had happened. Zhu Jiu hugged Fu Yunshen, revealing that Grandma was sick, and the surgery carried significant risks. Fu Yunshen could only comfort Zhu Jiu, expressing confidence that they would find a solution. Fu Yunshen still hoped that Zhu Jiu would tell Grandma the truth, as Grandma was a strong woman. Zhu Jiu agreed.

Upon returning, Fu Xizhou's first task was to pick up Gu Ruanruan. However, Gu Ruanruan said she wouldn't go back. Fu Xizhou suggested holding a ceremony in a better church, but after much contemplation, Gu Ruanruan expressed her decision to divorce Fu Xizhou. This time, she was completely disappointed in him. Fu Yunshen also visited Zhu Jiu's home. Grandma asked about the test results, and Zhu Jiu informed her about Grandma's liver cancer. Fu Yunshen comforted Grandma, who, without saying a word, went back to her room. This news had a significant impact on Grandma. After packing her things, Grandma asked Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen to take her to the hospital. She expressed her willingness to cooperate with the treatment. Zhu Jiu stayed with her in the hospital, and Fu Yunshen helped with the admission procedures. After sorting things out for Grandma, Zhu Jiu had to go to work.

Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou reported the vaccine investigation to Fu Lingtian. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Shuning advised Fu Lingtian not to involve Fu Xizhou in the investigation. Fu Lingtian agreed, and the subsequent investigation was handed over to Fu Yunshen. After dinner, Fu Xizhou left and called someone to investigate Jiang Jun's actions after going to the transportation department. Returning home, looking at the empty room and realizing that Gu Ruanruan had not come back, Fu Xizhou called her, but Gu Ruanruan didn't answer.

While Zhu Jiu was at work, she encountered a medical dispute. The family insisted that the doctor perform surgery on a child who was not suitable for the operation. Zhu Jiu, feeling pity for the family, suggested they consult the cardiothoracic surgery department. The family suddenly had hope, but other doctors disagreed with her approach. Zhu Jiu's colleagues told her there was no way to treat the child, and she advised the family to leave the hospital early. The family knelt down, begging Zhu Jiu to save their child. Softened by the sight of the weak child, Zhu Jiu asked them to wait a moment and went to figure out a solution.

Gu Ruanruan informed her parents about her desire for a divorce. However, her father was very angry and disagreed, while her mother, sympathetic to her daughter, agreed to the divorce. They had a heated argument, and Gu Ruanruan felt guilty watching her parents argue for her sake. She apologized to her parents, acknowledging her previous immaturity, and assured them she would handle the matter.

Zhu Jiu, looking at her sleeping grandmother in the ward, recalled the moments they shared since childhood and leaned helplessly against the wall. Fu Yunshen also made calls everywhere seeking help for his grandmother's illness, asking others to pay attention to liver donors. He even made soup for his grandmother and brought it to the hospital. Zhu Jiu and her aunt also arrived, happily chatting while deliberately ignoring the severity of the grandmother's condition. At that moment, Zhu Jiu received a sudden notification about the worsening condition of the young patient she had treated before. After a brief greeting to her grandmother, Zhu Jiu hurriedly left. Zhu Jiu and others made every effort to save the child, but the situation remained critical. Zhu Jiu and Ji Sirang went to the director's office together, persuading him to allow Zhu Jiu to perform the surgery. Although the surgery carried high risks, the director reluctantly agreed after being convinced by Ji Sirang. Zhu Jiu expressed gratitude to Ji Sirang and explained her understanding of the helplessness that family members feel when facing the imminent loss of a loved one. Ji Sirang, concerned, asked if something had happened, and Zhu Jiu shared the story of her grandmother. Ji Sirang promised to mobilize all resources to help find a liver donor for her grandmother, and Zhu Jiu was very grateful. Zhu Jiu called the patient's family, and they discussed the child's condition and possible solutions.

At a press conference, Fu Yunshen provided answers to recent concerns about Lingtian Group's vaccine. He promised to respond to everyone within a week. Fu Yunshen accompanied Zhu Jiu to the hospital, and when Zhu Jiu hesitated to reveal her dinner appointment, Fu Yunshen insisted on joining. Zhu Jiu brought Fu Yunshen to meet the young patients in the garden, and together they gently persuaded the child to take their medicine.

Gu Ruanruan's father came to the company to find Fu Xizhou, asking him about his thoughts on the matter with Gu Ruanruan. Fu Xizhou explained that whenever he appeared in front of Gu Ruanruan, she would bring up divorce. Therefore, he thought that staying away might be better. Gu Ruanruan's father criticized his approach and advised him to comfort his wife when she was angry. Fu Xizhou said he understood, and Gu Ruanruan's father asked him to think it over before leaving.

Fu Yunshen brought Wutong to cheer up the young patients. Zhu Jiu, watching her happily interacting with the children, felt joy as well. However, Zhu Jiu still worried about her upcoming surgery. Fu Yunshen wanted to encourage Zhu Jiu with a hug, but they were interrupted by the young patient. The three of them, along with the dog, took a photo together. In the distance, Zhou Zhizhi and her mother witnessed the scene. Zhou Zhizhi, heartbroken, was scolded by her mother for being useless, leading to a heated argument. Zhou Zhizhi left. The young patient's family thanked Zhu Jiu and hoped she could save their daughter. Zhu Jiu promised to do her best.

Zhu Jiu visits the little girl whenever she has time and encourages her. The girl also loves Fu Yunshen's dog, and Zhu Jiu continues to support the girl. After Zhou Zhizhi's mother returns home, she complains to her husband that Fu Yunshen already has a girlfriend. Fu Yunshen, originally matching Zhou Zhizhi in social status, has now dumped her. The mother suggests her husband talk to Fu Yunshen, and the only way is to pressure Fu Yunshen's mother, Ms. Jiang. This might bring Fu Yunshen closer to Zhou Zhizhi.

Fu Yunshen identifies the problem in the investigation but worries that this alone may not gain public understanding. He instructs his secretary to re-investigate the situation. Fu Yunshen informs Fu Xizhou about the matter, stating that he's following his grandfather's instructions. Previously, he only focused on laboratory work, but now things have changed. Fu Xizhou, returning home, can only eat instant noodles and has no idea how to message Gu Ruanruan. Despite drinking a lot every day, he still can't sleep.

Early in the morning, Fu Yunshen informs Zhu Jiu that the vaccine is safe. Zhu Jiu is genuinely happy for Fu Yunshen, and they go together to buy breakfast. Fu Xizhou visits Gu Ruanruan's home early in the morning, wanting to have a proper talk with her. Gu Ruanruan reluctantly leaves with Fu Xizhou, and her father is pleased. Gu Ruanruan walks fast, and Fu Xizhou wants to accompany her to work, but she refuses. Fu Xizhou advises Gu Ruanruan not to act like a child, making her even more angry, feeling that Fu Xizhou doesn't understand her.

While Zhu Jiu is at work, Ji Sirang comes to see him. Initially thinking it's bad news, Zhu Jiu learns that it's good news—the little girl is now eligible for surgery. This is great news for everyone, and they start proposing various treatment plans for the girl's condition. Zhu Jiu is busy working overtime every day at the hospital, even missing Fu Yunshen who comes to pick him up after work. Fu Yunshen had brought supper for Zhu Jiu, but upon seeing Ji Sirang there, he just leaves it at the door. Zhu Jiu is happy after seeing the note Fu Yunshen left.

After finishing her busy day, Zhu Jiu calls Fu Yunshen, who is still preparing dumplings for her for the next day. However, at this moment, Zhu Jiu learns that there's another problem. The child's father is extremely agitated, scolding the daughter for not eating and causing a quarrel between the couple. Zhu Jiu rushes to comfort the little girl, who is also feeling very upset.

Now the directors are highly optimistic about Fu Yunshen. Gu Ruanruan's father is helpless because he would prefer Fu Xizhou to be praised. Fu Xizhou is still investigating the issue with the vaccine and unexpectedly receives a divorce agreement from Gu Ruanruan. This time, Gu Ruanruan is determined.

Fu Yunshen investigates the cold chain issue but is surprised to find out that he is not allowed to investigate. The other party is unaware that this person is Fu Xizhou and mentions that Lingtian Group has powerful figures, advising Fu Yunshen not to investigate. This makes Fu Yunshen feel uneasy. Fu Xizhou goes to find Gu Ruanruan, but she doesn't want to meet him. Fu Xizhou suggests going to a café to talk, but Gu Ruanruan says she doesn't drink coffee. Fu Xizhou repeatedly emphasizes not wanting a divorce, but Gu Ruanruan refuses to speak with him.

Fu Yunshen visits his brother, Jiang Jun, and asks about the cold chain issue. Jiang Jun reluctantly admits to losing over a million yuan. Despite Jiang Jun's pleas, Fu Yunshen is not planning to let his brother off this time. Fu Yunshen goes to his mother and asks about her agreement to Jiang Jun changing the cold chain. Ms. Jiang, upon learning about the issue, is very angry. She suggests keeping it a secret, but Fu Yunshen knows this won't remain hidden. Ms. Jiang has no choice but to explain the matter to his grandfather; otherwise, it would be disastrous if Fu Xizhou finds out.

The surgery for the little girl is approaching. Zhou Zhizhi is also assisting, and soon Ji Sirang joins them. Ji Sirang and Zhu Jiu work together seamlessly. At this time, Fu Xizhou searches for the marriage certificate at home. Suddenly remembering that Gu Ruanruan might have placed it in the safe, Fu Xizhou tries the password, initially failing but succeeding on the second attempt. Fu Xizhou quickly takes away the marriage certificate.

Fu Yunshen happens to hear that the little girl's surgery was very successful at the hospital, and even he can't help but smile.

Fu Yunshen came to the hospital to deliver food to his grandmother. The noodle soup he made tasted just like his grandmother's mother's, and his grandmother loved it. It reminded her of her hometown. They made plans to return together when Zhu Jiu and the others had time. Fu Yunshen also visited Zhu Jiu's office and found her sleeping tiredly at her desk. Carefully, he covered her with a blanket and ended up falling asleep across from her. When Zhu Jiu woke up, she saw Fu Yunshen's sleeping face. She reached out to trace his eyes and nose. Fu Yunshen, sensing the movement, woke up too. He took out the meal he prepared for Zhu Jiu and ate with her. Fu Yunshen shared about his grandmother missing her hometown, and Zhu Jiu, feeling for the old lady, considered the idea of arranging a trip home. However, she expressed concern about her grandmother's current health. Fu Yunshen advised her not to let her grandmother have regrets, and Zhu Jiu agreed to think it over. Later, Zhu Jiu let Fu Yunshen go home to rest.

Jiang Shuning returned home and inquired about the situation of the nanny, Fu Lingtian. Learning that he was already asleep, she hesitated in front of his door but ultimately decided not to wake him.

The next day, noticing Zhu Jiu's suppressed emotions, her grandmother comforted her, advising her to do what she could and leave the rest to fate. She expressed satisfaction that Zhu Jiu now had someone to take care of her. Zhu Jiu, holding back tears, agreed. She and Fu Yunshen left the ward together. Zhu Jiu decided to take her grandmother back to their hometown and discussed it with Fu Yunshen, who agreed to arrange the trip. Jiang Shuning went to Fu Lingtian's study and found Fu Xizhou there. She explained the situation, and Fu Lingtian decided to leave it to Fu Xizhou. Jiang Shuning, dissatisfied, clashed with Fu Xizhou, leading to an argument with Fu Lingtian, who eventually dismissed her and drove her out.

Zhu Jiu and Ji Silaro visited Mengmeng, providing some instructions to Mengmeng's mother.

Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu took her grandmother back to their hometown, meeting Zhu Jiu's aunt. The four of them sat together, chatting and enjoying snacks, creating a lively atmosphere. When it was time for dinner, Fu Yunshen volunteered to cook with Zhu Jiu's aunt, having learned to prepare a meal to share with her grandmother.

Fu Xizhou visited the gallery to find Gu Ruanruan. Upon arriving, he saw Gu Ruanruan hugging a stranger. Though the moment was brief, Fu Xizhou felt uncomfortable. Back home, he observed Gu Ruanruan's lipstick, lost in thought. In the restaurant, Gu Ruanruan was chatting with Daniel when she received a call from Fu Xizhou. Apologizing to Daniel, she reluctantly answered the call. Fu Xizhou mentioned a lipstick left at his place, insisting on knowing its location to deliver it to her. Gu Ruanruan hung up in silence, and Fu Xizhou, holding the lipstick, murmured sadly, "You, she doesn't want it." Fu Xizhou also received a delivery for Gu Ruanruan, called her, and insisted on delivering it urgently. After some reluctance, Gu Ruanruan asked him to throw it away and hung up.

Jiang Shuning met with Zhou Zhizhi's mother, hoping to seek assistance from the Zhou family through Zhou Zhizhi and Fu Yunshen's relationship. She even mentioned using Zhu Jiu's grandmother's liver source to force Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen to break up. Zhou Zhizhi's mother wished her success.

Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen enjoyed a cheerful walk and conversation on a small path. In their absence, Zhu Jiu's aunt asked her grandmother about her health. The grandmother shared her condition, and Zhu Jiu's aunt felt distressed. The two sisters spoke hand in hand and were seen by Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen upon their return.

Using the location tracking feature set up by Gu Ruanruan before, Fu Xizhou found her location and went to the restaurant directly. He spoke to Daniel with a strong sense of hostility. Gu Ruanruan took him outside and threatened to file for divorce if he continued to resist. Jiang Shuning and Zhou Zhizhi's mother witnessed this scene and exchanged a smile.

Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu bid farewell to Zhu Jiu's aunt, taking a photo together before reluctantly leaving. Zhu Jiu visited the hospital to check on Mengmeng, learning that Mengmeng had not yet woken up. She decided to wait in the corridor for a while. In the parking lot, Jiang Shuning intercepted Gu Ruanruan's father, pretending to apologize on behalf of Fu Xizhou. She mentioned overhearing Gu Ruanruan talk about divorce, and Gu Ruanruan's father, looking displeased, responded that it was their family matter, and Jiang Shuning need not bother. Unyielding, Jiang Shuning directly expressed her hope that Gu's father would support Fu Yunshen instead of Fu Xizhou. Gu's father stated that his support for Fu Xizhou was not just because of Gu Ruanruan but also because Fu Xizhou was more suitable for managing the company than Fu Yunshen. Afterward, he took the elevator. At the civil affairs bureau entrance, Gu Ruanruan waited for Fu Xizhou for a while. When he finally arrived, he informed Gu Ruanruan that the marriage certificate was lost. Angry, Gu Ruanruan suggested getting a replacement marriage certificate before filing for divorce. However, Fu Xizhou found excuses, claiming to be busy lately. Angrily, Gu Ruanruan told him to call her when he had time and walked away. In the corridor, Zhu Jiu waited for a long time but was anxiously informed by a nurse that something had happened to Mengmeng. They rushed Mengmeng to the emergency room, and despite efforts to save her, Mengmeng couldn't be revived. Zhu Jiu, looking at the flatline on the heart monitor, clenched her fist in sorrow and self-blame. She arranged Mengmeng's appearance and held Mengmeng's hand one last time. Outside the operating room, upon hearing of Mengmeng's passing, Mengmeng's parents couldn't accept the cruel reality. Emotionally charged, they questioned the medical staff. Zhu Jiu stood there helplessly, allowing Mengmeng's father to blame her. Zhou Zhizhi's mother visited the hospital to bring soup to Zhou Zhizhi. Seeing Zhou Zhizhi's tired face, Zhou's mother felt sorry for her. She suggested Zhou Zhizhi resign, but Zhou Zhizhi refused. Zhou's mother then brought up Zhou Zhizhi's relationship with Fu Yunshen, and Zhou Zhizhi, not wanting to hear more, used work as an excuse to usher her mother away. In front of the elevator, Zhou's mother called Jiang Shuning, inviting her to lunch. Jiang Shuning gladly accepted. Fu Xizhou opened a package sent by Gu Ruanruan, finding a physical copy of the online novel she wrote based on them. He carefully opened it and read the content. In the company, Fu Xizhou casually asked his secretary how to win back a girl. Following the advice given, he even brought Gu Ruanruan her favorite instant noodles. Her attitude improved, and Fu Xizhou sighed with relief, following her. Zhou Zhizhi's mother found Mengmeng's parents, telling them that Mengmeng's death was caused by Zhu Jiu mistakenly taking medicine. She offered money and introduced a lawyer to help them file a lawsuit. Mengmeng's parents were skeptical but eventually decided to go with Zhou Zhizhi's mother to see the lawyer. The next day, the hospital director had Ji Silaro call Zhu Jiu to the office, intending to suspend her from work. Although reluctant, Zhu Jiu had no choice. Ji Silaro, upon learning about it, wanted to share the responsibility with her, but Zhu Jiu convinced him not to. After returning home, Zhou Zhizhi heard her mother talking on the phone, apparently about Zhu Jiu. She turned on the recorder on her phone before entering the room. Seeing documents on the table and combining them with what she overheard, she figured out that Mengmeng's situation was related to her mother. Tearfully, she questioned her mother, but Zhou's mother remained obstinate, thinking she was doing it all for Zhou Zhizhi's good. Zhou Zhizhi, angry, left. Zhu Jiu came to deliver food to her grandmother, deceiving her with the excuse of being off duty. The grandmother believed it, and when Zhu Jiu went to get the medical records, Fu Yunshen arrived. Hearing the grandmother mention Zhu Jiu's day off, he was puzzled but still helped Zhu Jiu cover up the lie. However, the grandmother was still worried and asked Fu Yunshen to check on Zhu Jiu. When Fu Yunshen found Zhu Jiu, he didn't ask much. Zhu Jiu leaned on his shoulder. Zhou Zhizhi, listening to the recording, felt conflicted and pained but ultimately didn't call Fu Yunshen. Meeting with Fu Xizhou, Fu Lingtian discussed the acquisition of Redstone. Fu Xizhou thought it was a diversion, but Fu Lingtian was reluctantly persuaded. Zhou Zhizhi told Gu Ruanruan about everything and decided to give the recording to Fu Yunshen. Gu Ruanruan comforted her and supported her decision. Zhou Zhizhi found Fu Yunshen, played the recording for him, and expressed her gratitude. Fu Yunshen thanked her, his emotions complicated, and his eyes reddened. When Fu Yunshen tried to approach Wang, the lawyer for the Mengmeng side, Wang avoided the question and left. Fu Yunshen wanted to follow him but received a call from Chen Le, saying he had already sent the address of Mengmeng's family. Fu Yunshen went to Mengmeng's home, and Mengmeng's mother opened the door. Seeing him, she tried to close the door, but Fu Yunshen said he came to deliver the items that Zhu Jiu had arranged for Mengmeng.

Fu Yunshen said he came to deliver the items Zhu Jiu arranged for Mengmeng. Only after Mengmeng's mother allowed him in did he start persuading her. Mengmeng's mother stated they wouldn't withdraw the lawsuit. Fu Yunshen tried to convince Mengmeng's mother not to be influenced by others, handing her the business card of Lawyer Wang. She hesitated, but then Mengmeng's father arrived, angrily chasing Fu Yunshen away. Fu Yunshen mentioned if there were any needs for Mengmeng's funeral, they could contact him. Mengmeng's father slammed the door shut.

Back at home, Zhou Zhizhi told her mother about playing the recording for Fu Yunshen and urged her to drop the lawsuit. Her mother got furious. Zhou Zhizhi tearfully promised to be obedient, to let go of Fu Yunshen, and to go on blind dates. Disappointed, her mother left. Meanwhile, Mengmeng's father received a call from Lawyer Wang, who stated he wouldn't help with the lawsuit. Without further explanation, Mengmeng's father, despite Mengmeng's mother's advice, went to the lawyer's office but was thrown out by the security. When he tried calling Zhou's mother, no one answered. He sat on the ground in despair, crying.

Fu Yunshen called Zhu Jiu, congratulating her on returning to work. He informed her that Zhou Zhizhi helped, and after returning to the hospital, Zhu Jiu thanked Zhou Zhizhi, who coldly said no thanks were necessary and left. Fu Xizhou finished reading the online novel written by Gu Ruanruan. He left a comment wishing the real-life protagonists well, but others criticized him, calling him a scumbag. Fu Xizhou argued with them. Gu Ruanruan, urged by her editor, checked the comments on the novel's page, discovering Fu Xizhou's comment and smiling.

After Zhu Jiu finished work, while Fu Yunshen was opening the car door, Mengmeng's father suddenly attacked and insulted Zhu Jiu. Fu Yunshen intervened, but Mengmeng's father accidentally pushed Fu Yunshen onto a nearby steel pipe. The pipe impaled Fu Yunshen, and Zhu Jiu hurriedly took him to the hospital. Seeing Fu Yunshen being taken into the operating room, Zhu Jiu sat on the ground in despair. Jiang Shuning and others arrived. Jiang Shuning slapped Zhu Jiu, then tearfully signed the consent form for Fu Yunshen's splenectomy. She emotionally blamed Zhu Jiu, but Chen Le and Zhou Zhizhi pulled her away. Zhu Jiu left alone sadly.

After the rescue, Fu Yunshen was out of danger, but due to the spleen removal, his immune system was compromised, and he needed to be very careful in the future. Jiang Shuning cried while looking at her son in the hospital room. Fu Xizhou, in the middle of a discussion, was suddenly informed about Fu Yunshen's situation. He rushed to the hospital, tearfully watching Fu Yunshen in the hospital bed. Gu Ruanruan also arrived, comforting Fu Xizhou not to worry too much. Fu Xizhou, pretending to be indifferent, said there was nothing to worry about and then took Gu Ruanruan home.

Zhu Jiu dreamed of the accident involving Fu Yunshen, waking up just in time to receive a call from the police station asking her to sign. She said she would have a lawyer present. A month later, Fu Yunshen finally woke up. Zhu Jiu received a call and happily rushed to the hospital. At the door, she found Fu Yunshen's family already there but hesitated to enter. When Fu Yunshen opened his eyes, he immediately asked about Zhu Jiu. Jiang Shuning was dissatisfied, and Fu Lingtian intervened, saying Fu Yunshen needed rest, and they should leave. Jiang Shuning wanted Zhou Zhizhi to stay and take care of Fu Yunshen, but Fu Yunshen refused. Fu Yunshen asked Chen Le to stay, saying he had something for him to do. At the door, Zhu Jiu wanted to enter the ward but was blocked by the bodyguards. Jiang Shuning mocked her, and Zhu Jiu, unwilling to endure, revealed the truth about Mengmeng. The two exchanged harsh words, and Jiang Shuning left angrily.

Cheng Zong, the general manager of the cold chain company, arrested Jiang Jun because he was sued by Fu Yunshen. Cheng Zong demanded Jiang Jun bear half of the compensation and then threw him out. Zhu Jiu disguised herself as a nurse to visit Fu Yunshen in the hospital. Feeling guilty, Zhu Jiu thought it was all because of her that Fu Yunshen was harmed. Fu Yunshen comforted her, and the two pretended to be sweet, successfully tricking the bodyguards questioning the nurses.

Ji Silang had some free time and went to visit Zhu Jiu's grandmother. Zhu Jiu's grandmother was very happy. Many people thought Ji Silang and Zhu Jiu were a couple, but Zhu Jiu's grandmother stated that her granddaughter, Zhu Jiu, had a boyfriend. To avoid misunderstandings among the other patients, she asked Ji Silang to leave. However, she suddenly coughed up blood.

Ji Silang hurriedly found Zhu Jiu and informed her about her grandmother's condition. Jiang Jun came to Jiang Zong and pleaded with her for help, but Jiang Zong was still very angry, as what he had done previously was unforgivable.

Fortunately, Zhu Jiu's grandmother was rescued. Zhu Jiu was still worried about her and couldn't hold back her tears when she saw her grandmother's weak condition. Her grandmother's cirrhosis was worsening, and they needed to find a liver donor as soon as possible.

Fu Yunshen called Zhu Jiu, who told him not to worry. Fu Yunshen also hoped that Zhu Jiu wouldn't hide anything from him. Jiang Zong initially wanted Zhou Zhizhi's family to help, but even Zhou Zhizhi's parents refused. Jiang Zong was then ousted by the board of directors. She didn't know what to do next, even seeking help from her father, who didn't compromise either.

At this time, Fu Yunshen called to search for a liver donor. Fu Xizhou arrived and informed him about Jiang Zong's suspension, mentioning that soon Fu Lingtian would lose his place at the company. Fu Yunshen warned Fu Xizhou not to be too complacent. Fu Xizhou taunted Fu Yunshen for being so passionate about his girlfriend while sometimes forgetting about his own mother. Fu Yunshen didn't say much and asked Fu Xizhou to leave.

In the evening, Fu Yunshen called his mother and questioned why she didn't inform him about her condition. Fu Yunshen offered to talk to his grandfather, but Jiang Zong dismissed it, saying it wouldn't help. She wanted her son to focus on recovering as soon as possible to prevent them from being defeated.

Zhu Jiu accompanied her grandmother for a walk outside and talked about Fu Yunshen. Zhu Jiu didn't dare to mention that Fu Yunshen was injured, so she said he was away on a business trip. Her grandmother talked about drying the dried fruits from home on this good weather day and expressed a desire to go home for the Chinese New Year. She claimed to be in good health these days. Zhu Jiu said she would check with the attending physician, and if it was safe, she would take her grandmother home for the New Year.

Jiang Zong came to see Zhu Jiu and offered to help her find a liver donor if she left Fu Yunshen. However, their conversation was overheard by Chen Le, who didn't know how to tell Fu Yunshen. Finally, Chen Le decided to inform Fu Yunshen.

Jiang Zong had thought this would make Zhu Jiu compromise, but Zhu Jiu didn't care and said that if Jiang Zong continued this way, it would only push her and Fu Yunshen further apart. Fu Yunshen returned home, and Zhou Zhizhi saw him and offered to take him back. Fu Yunshen asked his mother what she wanted. Jiang Zong thought Zhu Jiu had complained to Fu Yunshen, but Fu Yunshen clarified that she hadn't. He told his mother not to hurt each other, setting his boundaries.

Fu Yunshen left his mother's place, realizing that Jiang Zong had led a tough life, with her husband having an affair and her father bringing Fu Xizhou back to raise. Jiang Zong even considered taking sleeping pills to end her life. Fu Yunshen asked how she could let go of her obsession. Jiang Zong's only goal was to break up Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen. During their argument, Jiang Zong pushed the weakened Fu Yunshen to the ground, causing him to bleed profusely. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Zhou Zhizhi also told Zhu Jiu about this incident. Zhu Jiu was now completely devastated because Fu Yunshen and her grandmother were the most important people in her life, and both were in danger. The mother of the little girl came to beg Zhu Jiu not to sue them, but Zhu Jiu refused to let them off because Fu Yunshen was still in critical condition. Ji Silang came as well and mentioned the foundation that Fu Yunshen had set up for the little girl.

Fu Yunshen's condition was extremely poor. Although he was temporarily stable, even a common cold could jeopardize his life. After learning that Fu Yunshen had awakened, Zhu Jiu wanted to see him. However, she was stopped by Jiang Zong's bodyguards. Fu Yunshen, aware of Zhu Jiu's presence, chose not to let her in. He knew about his medical condition and didn't want to see Zhu Jiu get upset. Fu Yunshen told his mother that he would agree to break up with Zhu Jiu.

Because Bai Xining has modified the marketing strategy, there is a continuous stream of people coming to the store to buy diamonds. Li Zhuoran also did not expect that this time's promotion would be so successful. Li Zhuoran even wanted to raise the prices, and his two subordinates naturally agreed. After all, the current sales situation is very good. However, Li Zhuoran did not inform Bai Xining about the price increase at all.

On the other hand, Bai Xining is still having a meal with colleagues. Someone starts to flatter Bai Xining. Suddenly, Li Mingkang sees the news on his phone about the increase in the price of Lulizuan diamonds. The next morning, Lin Yi sees this news and finds that all the stores have already adjusted their prices. Lin Yi can only go to Li Zhuoran to inquire, and the explanation given by Li Zhuoran is that the board of directors has already agreed.

Bai Xining goes to find Li Zhuoran. If it weren't for his sudden price increase, diamonds might be selling very well now. Li Zhuoran feels that Bai Xining is questioning him, but the decision he made cannot be changed. Bai Xining didn't expect that this mutually beneficial situation would now be turned around, and she would be used by Li Zhuoran.

Just as Bai Xining returned to the studio, colleagues handed in their project plans. Everyone had heard rumors about the company's layoffs, so everyone was very active, knowing that life and death were in Bai Xining's hands. Lin Yi tells Director Zhang that he wants to attract investment for the company by participating in a design competition. Meanwhile, Bai Xining is pleading with Li Zhuoran not to lay off employees. The secretary brings an invitation to a jewelry competition and says that this is another chance for Bai Xining, so the layoff is temporarily put on hold.

To boost morale, Lin Yi comes to the studio and tells Bai Xining that his brand will also participate in the competition. As long as they support each other, they can bring out each other's potential. Encouraged by Lin Yi, Bai Xining becomes more confident.

The day of the competition arrives quickly. Shining Jewelry also participates, and everyone showcases their expertise. After the topic is announced, everyone starts drawing with pens and leather. As the time approaches, Bai Xining's work is not finished. There are only thirty seconds left, and Ye Xiaoqing is very nervous. In the end, only two teams complete the task, and one team is eliminated in the first round. Although Bai Xining's team did not complete the design, they still gained recognition from the experts.

After returning, Bai Xining tells everyone that the theme of the second round is luxury and hopes everyone can express their opinions. Ye Xiaoqing uses the excuse of taking a leave to meet the director and even shows her drawings to him. Li Mingkang sees this scene when he comes out to buy coffee and tells Ye Xiaoqing to have some bottom line.

During this time, Bai Xining has been working overtime, and Lin Zhe will accompany her when he has time. When Bai Xining is about to submit the mobile phone drawings, she happens to see Lin Yi still guiding subordinates on how to design. Lin Yi sees Bai Xining and encourages her. Although they are opponents, both sides are considering the good of the company.

Next is the scene of the second round of the competition. Shining Jewelry first displays their jewelry, which is very luxurious. Then, it's the design of Lin Yi's team, which uses very expensive diamonds. The last one to appear is Bai Xining's work. Bai Xining personally introduces her work, and Tian Wei points out that her work does not fit the theme. Bai Xining, however, took a different approach. Instead of using luxurious diamonds, she used fragments of blue and white porcelain from the Yongzheng period as inspiration. It not only has a luxurious quality but also is a precious collectible.

Bai Xining was still explaining her work to everyone, and the judges in the audience nodded in approval. Each of the five judges had given a point to every team so far, apart from their personal favorite. In the end, Bai Xining's team emerged victorious. Shining Jewelry secured third place and withdrew from the third round. Cong Fei saw Bai Xining's victory and was even happier than if he had won himself. The theme for the third round was "Pure." Now, Bai Xining had to start preparing for the next round.

Li Zhuoran, as an afterthought, came over to congratulate Bai Xining after she won. Lin Yi had originally secured an investment deal with Shengdi Investment a month ago but was suddenly informed of its cancellation. Lin Yi quickly went to Shengdi Company to inquire about the situation and was accompanied by Meng Xiaoxiao. Hu Zong, who appreciated Bai Xining, also praised Meng Xiaoxiao's public relations skills. They were optimistic about them and mentioned an upcoming press conference.

Colleagues in the studio were anxious at this point, as they were worried about possible layoffs. After all, the company had not provided a clear explanation yet. Ye Xiaoqing began to worry about her future. Soon, Hu Zong's media company held a signing ceremony with Bai Xining at the studio. They announced that they would use the jewelry designed by Bai Xining for their future events and photo shoots. A reporter asked Bai Xining about her views on the studio's current situation, and her response was considerate of Dongchen's interests.

Nowadays, many companies wanted to collaborate with Bai Xining's studio, and the number of orders was increasing. Li Mingkang came to inform Bai Xining that Li Zhuoran, upon learning of these developments, was planning to quietly raise prices afterward. Bai Xining asked Li Mingkang to keep this information confidential and not let their colleagues know.

Bai Xining went to find Lin Yi. She was starting to trust Lin Yi more, even though he never explicitly said anything. Through these events, he indirectly conveyed some insights to Bai Xining. Soon, it was time for the third-round competition. Lin Yi's team presented their design first, while Bai Xining was still preparing. At this moment, Lin Zhe called Bai Xining to inform her that he had cracked the password and confirmed that Li Zhuoran indeed intended to use Bai Xining's studio for money laundering. Lin Zhe then sent all the related information to Bai Xining.

Bai Xining was very angry upon seeing this and realized that Li Zhuoran had been using her for various purposes, even engaging in illegal activities. After calming down, Bai Xining showcased her work. Surprisingly, both of the works received the same score from the judges. They asked the judges to make a choice, and the first judge chose Lin Yi's team, while the second judge chose Bai Xining's team. Just as Bai Xining and the model were bowing, the model's necklace suddenly fell off, raising doubts about the quality of the necklace. So, all the judges voted for Lin Yi, and Li Zhuoran was very angry and left.

Bai Xining had intentionally let Lin Yi win, not wanting to fall into Li Zhuoran's scheme. However, companies seeking to terminate contracts with her studio started to pour in, and Hu Zong was very upset about the situation. Although Bai Xining received a scolding from Li Zhuoran, she still emerged victorious because she wasn't used by him this time.

Meng Xiaoxiao invited Bai Xining for coffee and knew that Bai Xining intentionally lost the competition. Meng Xiaoxiao offered to keep this secret but asked for Bai Xining's help when needed. Bai Xining agreed as long as it didn't harm Dongchen's interests, and they reached an agreement. Bai Xining and Lin Yi went out for dinner to celebrate. Lin Yi also knew that Bai Xining had deliberately lost the competition. During their conversation, Bai Xining drank quite a bit and mentioned Li Zhuoran's plan to launder money through her studio. While pouring another drink, Bai Xining accidentally revealed the ring necklace on her chest, and Lin Yi immediately recognized it as Tang Wanrong's ring, realizing that she was Tang Wanrong's daughter.

Fu Yunshen had been waiting at the intersection for Zhu Jiu. Zhu Jiu was enjoying the dumplings her grandmother had made for her. She recalled the first time she came back, sitting on the stairs with her grandmother, eating dumplings. However, her grandmother had left since then. After confirming Zhu Jiu's safety, Fu Yunshen drove away. Early in the morning, Fu Yunshen had intended to go directly to the company, but his mother called him to join her for a meal. His mother reminded Fu Yunshen to remember the agreement between the two and urged him to resolve the matter quickly. General Jiang, concerned, came to see Zhu Jiu, hoping she would not associate with Fu Yunshen.

To please Gu Ruanruan, Fu Xizhou even tolerated her intentional provocations. Despite that, Fu Xizhou remained calm. At the end of the day, Gu Ruanruan felt genuinely happy because Fu Xizhou hadn't answered any calls that day. Fu Xizhou accompanied Gu Ruanruan home, and before leaving, Gu Ruanruan kissed him. Fu Xizhou was genuinely pleased. The secretary called to inform Fu Xizhou that evidence against Jiang Jun had been collected and asked if they should hand it over to the police. Fu Xizhou told her to wait a little longer and that they would deal with Jiang Jun together later.

After working several night shifts, Zhu Jiu returned home, and her aunt was waiting for her at the door. Her aunt wanted to quickly transfer her son's household registration for his convenience in attending school. Exhausted, Zhu Jiu collapsed directly. She was taken to the hospital, where, in her dream, Fu Yunshen held her hand, tears streaming down his face. Zhu Jiu blamed Fu Yunshen for not being able to accompany her grandmother in her final moments, a regret her grandmother shared. Suddenly waking up from her dream, Zhu Jiu found Fu Yunshen standing beside her. He coldly advised her to take care of her health and left. Zhu Jiu sat alone on the bed, feeling very sad. Fu Yunshen watched her from outside the door but didn't dare to enter.

Actually, on the night before the surgery, Fu Yunshen had visited Zhu Jiu's grandmother. Her grandmother was delighted to see him, so she had no regrets. General Jiang received a document from the United States. After reading it, she informed her father that a company wanted to acquire Lingtian. She then handed the proposal to her father, believing that this matter must be related to Fu Xizhou. Her father was very angry. Later, General Jiang handed a investment plan with Gu Ruanruan's name on it to Gu Ruanruan, who was completely unaware. General Jiang deliberately sowed discord, claiming that Fu Xizhou had done this behind Gu Ruanruan's back. Angry, Gu Ruanruan went to find Fu Xizhou that night. Fu Xizhou was surprised when he saw the documents and could only apologize to Gu Ruanruan. The relationship between the two, which had just been repaired, now had a crack. This time, Fu Xizhou was unwilling to let General Jiang go and directly handed the materials to the prosecutor's office.

The police were preparing to arrest Jiang Jun, but he wasn't at home. He had seen everything from a distance and hastily fled. General Jiang was also summoned by the prosecutor's office because of this matter. Grandfather called Fu Xizhou back to question him about the investment. With evidence now in front of him, Fu Xizhou could only admit it. Grandfather was very angry, feeling that Fu Xizhou was too scheming. Fu Xizhou felt that his grandfather had always claimed they were a family, but he had never treated him and Fu Yunshen equally. Not even his own mother had been treated well by the Fu family. General Jiang was so wicked that she sent her own mother to a mental hospital. Fu Xizhou deliberately said that he wanted to make the Lingtian Group disappear from the world. Angry, Grandfather had a heart attack, and Fu Xizhou, not noticing at first, rushed him to the hospital.

Fu Yunshen, busy with his mother's affairs, received a call informing him that Grandfather had been taken to the hospital for resuscitation. When he went there, he punched Fu Xizhou standing at the door. Fu Xizhou didn't fight back. At that moment, the doctor came out, and Fu Xizhou was about to leave when the doctor said that he was out of immediate danger but still unconscious.

Zhu Jiu also came to the hospital to visit Grandfather. When Fu Yunshen arrived, Zhu Jiu said that since Fu Yunshen was here, she would leave. However, Fu Yunshen insisted on escorting Zhu Jiu back, and she didn't refuse. After arriving, Zhu Jiu initially invited Fu Yunshen to have dumplings, but Fu Yunshen declined. Before leaving, Zhu Jiu pleaded with Fu Yunshen not to cook noodles for other girls in the future, even if there were any. Gu Ruanruan was very angry to discover that Fu Xizhou had acted on her behalf without permission. Fu Xizhou admitted that his initial motive for marrying Gu Ruanruan was not pure. When Gu Ruanruan asked why General Jiang was being investigated, Fu Xizhou said they brought it upon themselves. Gu Ruanruan, thoroughly disappointed in Fu Xizhou, wanted to leave. Despite Fu Xizhou's plea, she was determined to go, and Fu Xizhou had to let her go. This time, Fu Xizhou lost Gu Ruanruan completely.

Fu Xizhou remembered what Gu Ruanruan's parents had once told him. In a hurry, he followed Gu Ruanruan, who was crying all the way. Fu Xizhou watched from a distance, unable to approach her, so he asked Zhou Zhizhi for help. Only when Zhou Zhizhi and Gu Ruanruan left together did Fu Xizhou feel relieved. Fu Yunshen was looking at financial statements when the office surveillance footage was taken. He suspected Jiang Jun. While working overtime, Fu Yunshen received an email from Zhu Jiu, who planned to leave Shanghai. She had given her grandmother's house to her aunt, feeling there was nothing left for her here. Zhu Jiu still hadn't recovered from her grandmother's death. She confessed she had never stopped loving Fu Yunshen, and true love meant not burdening the other person. That's why she chose to leave. Fu Yunshen, reading Zhu Jiu's letter, couldn't hold back tears.

Fu Xizhou wanted to accompany Gu Ruanruan home as it was pouring rain outside, but she claimed to have brought an umbrella. Prepared to leave, Gu Ruanruan was stopped by Fu Xizhou, who held her hand. Despite this, Gu Ruanruan insisted on leaving. Fu Yunshen would spend his free time talking to his grandfather at the hospital, the only place where he could express his innermost thoughts. In reality, he had always deeply loved Zhu Jiu. Zhu Jiu returned to M Country, working as a doctor and teaching poetry there. Turning around, she seemed to see Fu Yunshen and continued with her class. Fu Yunshen watched her from afar. At night, Zhu Jiu would write letters to Fu Yunshen about recent events, but she kept these letters to herself. Someone wearing a hat and mask rushed to the hospital, actually Jiang Jun. Fu Yunshen had known it was him. Jiang Jun, the one who stole the financial seal, initially denied it. However, when Fu Yunshen showed a video, Jiang Jun begged for forgiveness. Fu Yunshen's only request was for Jiang Jun to surrender. Jiang Jun's wife was undergoing a cesarean section that day, and since he loved his wife deeply, he risked coming. However, Fu Yunshen caught him. The so-called video was a ruse by Chen Le, who posed as a thief. Jiang Jun, feeling guilty, naturally confessed.

Although Fu Xizhou dealt a significant blow to General Jiang, he hadn't gained control of the company yet. Lingtian's stock price kept falling, and the board members would likely agree to the acquisition. Next, Fu Xizhou briefed the board members on the acquisition, stating that the current situation was very favorable for them. General Jiang finally came out of the prosecutor's office. Just when Fu Xizhou thought the board members were about to sign, Fu Yunshen unexpectedly arrived. He handed over information about the investment company, and Gu Ruanruan was revealed to be a shareholder. This made Fu Yunshen the obvious beneficiary. This time, Fu Yunshen had a powerful counterattack. Fu Xizhou claimed he had already divorced Gu Ruanruan. Gu Ruanruan's father denied Fu Xizhou, but Fu Xizhou said their affairs didn't need to be discussed openly. Fu Yunshen went to the hospital, where his mother was, and told her that they could only take it one step at a time for now.

Fu Yunshen went to Zhou Zhizhi's house, but was chased away by Zhou Zhizhi's mother. As he left, Zhou Zhizhi followed him. Knowing that Fu Yunshen came for company matters, she willingly took the files from him. Zhou Zhizhi intended to give them to her father, but her mother intercepted and threw them out to Fu Yunshen. Currently, Fu Yunshen is striving to persuade the board members to abandon the sale of shares. Despite being exhausted every day, he finds solace in listening to recordings of moments he shared with Zhu Jiu. Zhu Jiu's colleagues received medicines from Lingtian Pharmaceuticals and a large box of snacks, including Zhu Jiu's favorite White Rabbit candies.

At this moment, a patient outside their rescue station needed urgent attention, so Zhu Jiu hurriedly went to treat him. When the patient woke up, he asked for Zhu Jiu's name before she rushed off to attend to others. Fu Xizhou, taking advantage of Fu Yunshen's recent illness, has been trying to win over other directors, hoping they'll quickly agree to sign and invest. Chen Le has been constantly murmuring around Fu Yunshen, leaving him speechless. When Fu Yunshen felt a bit better, he could only stand outside, watching over his grandfather, worried about transmitting his cold to him. Ji Silang also prepared to resign and leave. When Fu Yunshen saw nurses giving gifts to Ji Silang and learned that he was going to M Country, he felt a bit jealous and even invited Ji Silang for a drink.

Drunk and curious, Fu Yunshen asked if Ji Silang was leaving for Zhu Jiu. Ji Silang admitted it, as he openly pursued Zhu Jiu now. Ji Silang mentioned missing one chance already and couldn't afford to miss a second. Fu Yunshen even claimed he could contact Zhu Jiu directly. The two continued drinking, and in Fu Yunshen's disadvantageous situation, General Jiang felt everything was falling apart. Fu Yunshen didn't know what to do. His grandfather still hadn't awakened, and he wished everything could be resolved when his grandfather regained consciousness.

The next morning, Fu Xizhou suddenly received a notification that several directors had returned. Unexpectedly, they encountered each other in the elevator, and the atmosphere was tense. Fu Yunshen managed to convince the directors to give up selling shares by sharing a photo of his grandfather with them and the words written on the back of the photo. Everyone decided to support Fu Yunshen, leading to the decision to abandon the acquisition.

Zhu Jiu often thinks of everything that happened with Fu Yunshen in familiar places. However, since Fu Yunshen is no longer there, she is left with their beautiful memories. When she gets lost in thought, Ji Silang unexpectedly shows up. Zhu Jiu is delighted to see him. Ji Silang intentionally sent a photo of him and Zhu Jiu to Fu Yunshen, making him jealous again. Fu Yunshen saved the photo, cropped out Ji Silang, and felt jealous once more.

During this period, Gu Ruanruan's mood improved, and she brought many delicious treats for Zhou Zhizhi. It seemed odd to Zhou Zhizhi. In fact, Gu Ruanruan came to say goodbye to Zhou Zhizhi as she planned to leave Shanghai. Zhou Zhizhi intended to go to M Country to shoot a documentary and was worried about Gu Ruanruan's situation there. However, Gu Ruanruan reassured her and asked Zhou Zhizhi to visit their grandfather on her behalf. Zhou Zhizhi believed that all this was Fu Xizhou's fault and had nothing to do with Gu Ruanruan.

Fu Yunshen also knew that Gu Ruanruan had deep feelings for Fu Xizhou, so he didn't want to make things difficult for her or involve their grandfather in this matter. Holding a photo of himself, Fu Yunshen, and his grandfather, Fu Xizhou realized that if he hadn't informed his grandfather about the acquisition, his grandfather wouldn't have had a heart attack. In his grandfather's office, Fu Xizhou, worried about his grandfather, accidentally knocked over a frame and discovered a photo of himself, his parents, and a letter from his mother. Seeing the contents, Fu Xizhou couldn't hold back tears; he realized his grandfather cared about him. At the hospital, Fu Xizhou accused his comatose grandfather of intentionally manipulating him with guilt. He believed his grandfather placed the photo to make him feel remorseful, but Fu Xizhou was only deceiving himself. Suddenly, Fu Xizhou saw his grandfather's hand move and, thinking he was waking up, urgently notified the nurse before leaving himself.

Grandfather finally woke up, but the current situation has not completely recovered. He still needs careful care. Fu Yunshen has been accompanying his grandfather. Grandfather told Fu Yunshen not to blame his brother, as sibling arguments are normal. Fu Yunshen asked his grandfather to rest well and left on his own.

Fu Xizhou, sitting in the car, suddenly received a call from Fu Yunshen. Fu Yunshen informed Fu Xizhou about their grandfather waking up and conveyed that their grandfather did not blame him. Fu Yunshen hoped his brother could come and see their grandfather, but Fu Xizhou was filled with hatred. Fu Xizhou couldn't understand Fu Yunshen. Although he spoke with bitterness, when Fu Yunshen asked where he was, Fu Xizhou hung up, not out of hatred, but because his eyes were filled with tears.

Gu Ruanruan bid farewell to colleagues as she prepared to go abroad, but she still needed to complete her work. Every day, she kept herself busy until late, trying to forget about Fu Xizhou. However, at night, when she was alone, Gu Ruanruan couldn't help but feel reluctant. After all, this place held her fondest memories.

Jiang Zong stayed by his grandfather's side. Grandfather knew about the estrangement between Fu Yunshen and Jiang Zong's mother. Jiang Zong knew his son was still blaming him. Grandfather didn't want his daughter-in-law to make the same mistake, and Jiang Zong asked if he ever considered letting Fu Yunshen inherit the company. Grandfather apologized, and Jiang Zong did not insist, stating that only his son remained.

After drinking a lot, Fu Xizhou's secretary couldn't reach him. Eventually, she found him. Fu Xizhou knew his investment plans were ruined, so he didn't insist. The secretary, seeing Fu Xizhou drunk, wanted to take him home, but he refused. Now, he could only numb himself.

In the refugee camp, Zhu Jiu suddenly received a patient who turned out to be injured. Unexpectedly, Gu Ruanruan also arrived. After Zhu Jiu finished rescuing a little girl, she informed Gu Ruanruan that although the girl's life was saved, she had lost a leg. Gu Ruanruan couldn't believe that such a young girl had lost a leg due to war. She didn't know how the girl would face her future. Zhu Jiu asked if Gu Ruanruan came alone and learned that she was here to shoot a documentary. Zhu Jiu praised Gu Ruanruan for her bravery and took her to the clinic. Zhu Jiu continued to write letters to Fu Yunshen. Seeing the girl's volatile state, Zhu Jiu was reminded of Fu Yunshen's past and hoped the girl could survive the toughest days.

At night, Zhu Jiu continued to care for the injured patients, despite the simple conditions. Although the conditions were harsh, Zhu Jiu felt that time passed faster due to the love in her heart.

Fu Yunshen saw his grandfather sleeping with a photo. He quietly covered his grandfather with a blanket, but his grandfather woke up. Fu Yunshen urged his grandfather to get well soon. Seeing Fu Yunshen's melancholic expression, his grandfather knew he was heartbroken. Grandfather advised Fu Yunshen not to give up on Zhu Jiu. Later, he asked Fu Yunshen to take him somewhere, and they visited Fu Xizhou's mother. Grandfather recalled the past, revealing that because of the Lingtian Group, Fu Yunshen's father was forced to marry Fu Yunshen's mother, causing harm to both Fu Yunshen's mother and Fu Xizhou's mother. Fu Yunshen comforted his grandfather, hoping he could let go of the past. Grandfather asked Fu Yunshen to fetch the car and stayed a bit longer. Unfortunately, his health was not good, and he passed away shortly after.

The lawyer read grandfather's will, which not only left things to Fu Xizhou but also to Fu Xizhou's mother, surprising Fu Xizhou. Fu Yunshen glanced at his brother and left with him.

Alone at Zhu Jiu's doorstep, Fu Yunshen could finally reveal his true feelings. Unable to hold back, he cried. He sent a message to Zhu Jiu, crying that his grandfather had passed away, and he had lost Zhu Jiu too. Overwhelmed with sadness, Fu Yunshen answered Zhu Jiu's call, and both of them cried together. Though no words were exchanged, it conveyed more than a thousand words.

When Fu Yunshen went to visit Fu Xizhou's mother, Fu Xizhou also arrived. Fu Yunshen mentioned that the flowers on Auntie's tombstone were sent by their grandfather. In fact, Grandfather always felt guilty towards Fu Xizhou's mother. Fu Xizhou told his mother that although he achieved what he wanted through struggles, he felt like he had lost everything.

Fu Xizhou had coffee with Zhou Zhizhi. When they were young, Zhou Zhizhi, Fu Yunshen, and Gu Ruanruan used to play together. Fu Xizhou wanted to inquire about Gu Ruanruan's situation because he was most worried about her. Meanwhile, Gu Ruanruan, looking at the medicine pack prepared by Zhou Zhizhi, felt warmth in her heart.

Due to Grandfather's passing, Fu Yunshen decided to leave, and his mother realized she had lost. Fu Yunshen comforted his mother, saying that some things are not about winning or losing. He expressed his wish to focus on drug development, having no interest in managing the company. Jiang Zong regretted that he pushed Fu Yunshen away. Fu Yunshen consoled his mother, saying to let go of the past and look forward to the future. Despite having nothing left, Fu Yunshen assured his mother that no matter where he was, he would be there whenever she needed him.

Fu Yunshen, looking at his research center, allowed Chen Le to stay behind. Chen Le knew Fu Yunshen's purpose in visiting the M country was to find Zhu Jiu. Before leaving, Fu Yunshen handed over some research materials to Chen Le, feeling reassured with him there.

Zhou Zhizhi accompanied Fu Yunshen to the airport, promising to visit Fu Yunshen's mother when she had time. Zhou Zhizhi had finally let go of the past.

Fu Xizhou officially took over the company. Initially, the secretary started removing Grandfather's belongings, but Fu Xizhou asked her to leave things as they were. Meanwhile, Zhu Jiu and Ji Silang discussed the situation of a little girl. Later, more patients arrived, and Gu Ruanruan learned that the girl, traumatized by the war, had difficulty eating. Zhu Jiu comforted Gu Ruanruan, who was worried about leaving. Zhu Jiu called Rio to discuss the treatment, suggesting bringing the girl over for a change of environment.

Fu Xizhou, on a helicopter, arrived at the village with the sole purpose of developing a drug to treat Danmin Syndrome. When Fu Yunshen arrived at the treatment center, it was chaotic with the cries of the wounded. Rio, busy at work, was relieved to see Fu Yunshen, knowing they lacked many things. Aware that Fu Yunshen came for Zhu Jiu, Rio had made preparations for him. Fu Yunshen occasionally watered the plants when he had time, in a great mood as he looked forward to seeing Zhu Jiu—something more important to him than anything else.

Zhu Jiu, accompanied by the little girl, prepared to leave. When Fu Yunshen saw the girl, Zhu Jiu had gone to deliver supplies. The nurse informed Fu Yunshen that Zhu Jiu would arrive soon.

Before going to work, Fu Xizhou heard that there was frequent unrest in the M country, making him worried. He took the opportunity to inquire about Gu Ruanruan from Zhou Zhizhi. Fu Yunshen was concerned about Gu Ruanruan's safety abroad. Fu Xizhou hoped Zhou Zhizhi could provide information about Gu Ruanruan's recent situation, but Zhou Zhizhi did not agree.

Fu Xizhou, missing Gu Ruanruan, visited the exhibition center. Later, he intentionally brought in the media, expressing his yearning for Gu Ruanruan through them.

While delivering supplies, Zhu Jiu looked at the necklace in her hand—a couple's necklace with Fu Yunshen. It was the only thing that gave her solace. However, when delivering supplies with Ji Silang, they encountered mercenaries. The driver intended to negotiate but was shot dead. Ji Silang was taken away with a stab wound in his back. The rescue center was now occupied by mercenaries. Zhu Jiu saw a patient she had once helped; he was the leader here. They brought Zhu Jiu and her companion because they wanted to treat the leader's uncle. Zhu Jiu's companion was killed. Facing imminent danger, Ji Silang quickly suggested that if they killed Zhu Jiu, they wouldn't help his uncle.

Fu Xizhou had been waiting for Zhu Jiu to come, but after waiting for a long time, he learned that Zhu Jiu and Ji Silang had been taken by anti-government forces. Originally, Fu Yunshen had prepared flowers to welcome Zhu Jiu, but when he heard that she was in danger, the flowers in his hands fell to the ground. Fu Yunshen watched the news, realizing the situation was urgent. Rio felt guilty, thinking if he had informed Zhu Jiu about Fu Yunshen's arrival, she might not have wandered off.

Ji Silang saw the leader's uncle, tortured nearly to death. The leader, Hank, said he wanted the doctor to keep him alive because there were many things he hadn't asked yet. Ji Silang requested Zhu Jiu's assistance, and Hank went to find her. He told Zhu Jiu that if she didn't leave, she wouldn't die. Zhu Jiu was taken to him, and Fu Yunshen, investigating, found that the armed opposition needed doctors. He began to formulate a plan.

Zhu Jiu and Ji Silang thought that the person being tortured might not be Hank's uncle, but someone who knew many secrets. Ji Silang told Zhu Jiu that the urgent task was to perform surgery on the man. Ji Silang, already injured, didn't disclose this to Zhu Jiu at that time.

Fu Yunshen quietly went to the rescue station, realizing the situation was very critical. He called his brother Fu Xizhou, but unexpectedly, Fu Xizhou was standing right behind him. Fu Yunshen was relieved to see his brother. Soon, Zhu Jiu and Ji Silang were about to perform surgery on the patient, surrounded by armed militants. If they were not careful, they could be killed.

Zhu Jiu and Ji Silang quickly got to work, and although the patient's condition was critical, the surgery was successful. However, Ji Silang collapsed on the floor. When Hank entered, Zhu Jiu told him about Ji Silang's dangerous situation, but Hank refused to help. Zhu Jiu insisted on treating Ji Silang, but he was taken away.

Ji Silang and the patient were locked together. When he woke up, he was angry. Hank was a devil; his wife was raped, and his son was forced to use drugs. Ji Silang believed that only by dying could Zhu Jiu and Ji Silang bring trouble to the government opponents.

Gu Ruanruan also learned about Zhu Jiu's situation and was very anxious. From Chen Le, she learned that both Fu Xizhou and Fu Yunshen had gone there. Fu Yunshen saw that his friend had been killed by Hank, who was extremely cruel. At this point, Fu Yunshen caught a cold and had to control it with medication.

Fu Xizhou called Zhou Zhizhi to inform her that he was in the M country, wanting to ensure Gu Ruanruan's safety. However, Zhou Zhizhi had not been in contact with Gu Ruanruan for a long time. Fu Xizhou then called Gu Ruanruan, who hesitated for a while before answering. Although Gu Ruanruan didn't say much, Fu Xizhou could confirm that she was safe, which was enough for him.

At the same time, Zhu Jiu was also missing Fu Yunshen, unaware that he was now in the M country. The little girl, traumatized by amputation, was unwilling to undergo treatment. Fu Xizhou, approaching the girl, said his situation was similar to hers and hoped to empathize with her to make her willing to eat.

Zhu Jiu was suddenly taken away and learned that the patient had died. Hank aimed his gun at Ji Silang, but Zhu Jiu intervened just in time. Hank's subordinate suggested making Ji Silang and Zhu Jiu bargaining chips for negotiations with the government.

Fu Yunshen and Fu Xizhou also sought government help, but because Fu Yunshen's demands were too much, the government couldn't agree. Taking advantage of an opportunity to escape from Hank's headquarters, Ji Silang and Zhu Jiu fought off the soldiers. When soldiers chased after them, Fu Yunshen learned about it and rushed to find Zhu Jiu.

By this time, Zhu Jiu and Ji Silang had escaped to a desert. Zhu Jiu's wrist was injured, and she was in a semi-conscious state. Ji Silang was also on the verge of collapse. They reached a dead end, and both fell unconscious. Fu Yunshen hurriedly drove there. Zhu Jiu had awakened by then, and the car crashed into a rock. Ji Silang, covered in blood, woke up, and Zhu Jiu, realizing the situation, told him to escape. In his dying moments, Ji Silang told Zhu Jiu that the person he killed was named Peter. Although it was a killing, it was also a kind of release. Ji Silang didn't survive, dying in front of Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu watched Ji Silang leave like this. Before his death, Ji Silang asked Zhu Jiu to drink the strongest liquor in his memory. At this moment, Zhu Jiu was choked with tears, gradually losing consciousness. When Fu Yunshen arrived, Zhu Jiu was already unconscious. However, at this moment, the mercenaries arrived. Fu Yunshen smashed the window, carried Zhu Jiu to the car, but just as they were about to get in, a mercenary shot Fu Yunshen in the shoulder. Fortunately, Fu Xizhou arrived in time. Both Fu Yunshen and Zhu Jiu were taken away for treatment.

A month passed quickly. Zhu Jiu was brought back to the country, vividly remembering everything that happened in the M country. Without Ji Silang, she might not have survived. Fu Yunshen was also brought back to the country. Every night, he was awakened by nightmares. His mother stayed by his side. When Fu Yunshen woke up, his first concern was for Zhu Jiu. He hoped his mother wouldn't blame Zhu Jiu, as everything was his own choice. His mother had come to terms with it and did not prevent Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen from being together.

However, due to traumatic after-effects, Zhu Jiu's condition was very poor. Fu Yunshen visited her, and she was in bad shape, deeply affected by the recent events. Fu Yunshen held Zhu Jiu's hand, expressing his fear of losing her. Zhu Jiu, however, showed no emotional response. Fu Yunshen continued to apologize and vowed never to leave Zhu Jiu again, promising to make every day a happy one.

Gu Ruanruan returned to the country, and Fu Xizhou went to the airport to pick her up. Soon, Fu Yunshen was about to be discharged. The relationship between Fu Xizhou and Fu Yunshen had also been restored. Fu Xizhou now managed the company, allowing Fu Yunshen to spend time with Zhu Jiu. Even during the most painful dressing changes, Zhu Jiu remained unresponsive.

The doctor informed Fu Yunshen that Zhu Jiu's emotional state was detrimental to her recovery. Fu Yunshen's role was to be by her side, as Zhu Jiu's wrist nerve injury meant she could no longer use a scalpel. Fu Yunshen personally cooked for Zhu Jiu, and Gu Ruanruan also visited her. However, Zhu Jiu, silent and in a bad state, refused to speak. When Gu Ruanruan was about to leave, she encountered Fu Xizhou. Although Fu Xizhou held Gu Ruanruan's hand, she asked for more time.

At night, Zhu Jiu dreamed of seeing her parents and Ji Silang. Everyone encouraged her to regain strength. In her final moments of dreaming, she remembered Fu Yunshen being shot for her. Terrified, Zhu Jiu woke up, relieved to find Fu Yunshen by her side. Gu Ruanruan took the initiative to find Fu Xizhou. When she expressed that she couldn't let go of him, Fu Xizhou kissed her. Regardless, as long as Gu Ruanruan liked him, Fu Xizhou felt satisfied.

Five years passed quickly. Chen Le had been pursuing Zhou Zhizhi, and although she hadn't agreed verbally, she had started to accept him. Fu Xizhou and Gu Ruanruan had a cute daughter, and now Gu Ruanruan was pregnant again. Fu Xizhou was very affectionate towards Gu Ruanruan, even decorating the entire house in pink. The aunt sold the house left by the grandmother, and everything went smoothly.

Although Zhu Jiu couldn't perform surgeries now, she was still involved in medical-related work. Both Zhu Jiu and Fu Yunshen were working on Danmin syndrome, hoping to treat more patients. Zhu Jiu received a call from her aunt, saying the old house had been sold, and she asked if Zhu Jiu wanted to take a last look. After returning and planning to leave, Fu Yunshen unexpectedly arrived. It turned out that Fu Yunshen was the new owner of the house. He took out a watch, revealing that he had prepared for this moment. Then, he presented the watch as a wedding gift. After experiencing so much together, Zhu Jiu was finally willing to marry Fu Yunshen, and now they could be together at last.
