Qixi Festival, Leng Nuan distributed flowers on campus and saw Li Chenyang receiving many flowers and taking photos with girls. Leng Nuan was very angry and argued with Wang Zi and Li Chenyang. Nearly bumped into Jiang Leilei, Qilang, who was with her, took Jiang Leilei back to Huayitang and offered to compensate her for the damaged part of her bag, with the rest to be paid in installments or worked off as a debt through part-time jobs. Jiang Leilei agreed gladly. Just then, an employee from the flower shop informed Jiang Leilei that there were a few urgent orders, and Qilang volunteered to run errands. After delivering two orders and returning to the flower shop, he bought desserts and gave them to Jiang Leilei.

At the video studio, an employee told Meng Haotian that their Weibo account was being restricted, and videos on many platforms were being deleted. Articles posted on the public account were also removed. In response, Meng Haotian said she would try to get some celebrities to help speak up and instructed her subordinates to prepare for trending topics. One of the subordinates, Dun Dun, felt that they had invested a lot of effort and money but couldn't guarantee results. Meng Haotian emphasized to him that the original intention of establishing the video studio was to give a voice to marginalized groups.

Afterwards, Meng Haotian called Li Chenyang and asked him to speak up. Li Chenyang hung up the phone and immediately reposted the Weibo. In the Weibo video, Xia Yang stated that half a year after their marriage, Liang Luofei got drunk and hit her for the first time. Xia Yang initially thought it was just a result of Liang Luofei's alcohol-induced loss of control, but she realized that the violence hadn't stopped since then. In the end, Xia Yang warned all girls to stay away from abusive men. Wang Zi, a fan of Liang Luofei, saw the Weibo post and subconsciously believed it was fake. He even thought that Li Chenyang's reposting of the Weibo constituted spreading rumors. Leng Nuan agreed with Li Chenyang's actions, believing that controversial matters could be discussed online. Because Liang Luofei's fans had been whitewashing his image, the trending topic's popularity had been declining.

In the evening, the staff from the video studio found Director Li, who was busy comforting his artists. They hoped that Director Li could help find a few popular celebrities to repost the Weibo. However, Director Li was afraid of offending Liang Luofei and the capital behind him, so he was unwilling to help. At that moment, a female artist nearby overheard the mention of Liang Luofei and became curious. The staff quickly informed her of the situation. The female artist voluntarily reposted the Weibo, initiated a discussion, and tagged other celebrities.

The video gained widespread attention, and several topics trended on the hot search rankings. However, the PR company behind Liang Luofei was constantly trying to remove the hot search topics. In the evening, the topic of Liang Luofei's domestic violence finally exploded. Meng Haotian finished work and returned home. Leng Nuan hurriedly ran back from the school and asked Meng Haotian if the allegations of domestic violence were true. Seeing Meng Haotian's affirmation, Leng Nuan sighed and mentioned that Wang Zi had liked Liang Luofei for many years. Leng Nuan told Meng Haotian that the key issue now was that Liang Luofei's fans simply didn't believe he was capable of domestic violence; they thought it was all the work of black PR. Meng Haotian opened her phone and found that the fans were whitewashing Liang Luofei again, and they were even promoting his live broadcasts. During this time, Liang Luofei had not made any appearances, and his management company had not responded.

The next day, the staff from the video studio filmed scenes of them pressing Liang Luofei for answers, hoping to pressure him into responding. Before long, Liang Luofei posted on Weibo, and after Meng Haotian read it, she quickly left the studio. Meng Haotian arrived at Xia Yang's residence, where Xia Yang told her that the video posted by Liang Luofei was true. It turned out that Xia Yang discovered that as long as she self-harmed, Liang Luofei would not hurt her anymore and would instead comfort her. Therefore, Xia Yang used this method to protect herself. Meng Haotian stated that she needed more evidence to expose Liang Luofei, believing that with his violent tendencies, Xia Yang couldn't be the only one who got hurt.

Leng Siming made an appointment with Sun Hao to meet at a restaurant. Leng Siming asked Sun Hao what difficulties he was facing, and Sun Hao said that he might end up in prison. It turned out that there was a collapse at the construction site of a project he was responsible for, and he might be held criminally responsible. Sun Hao explained that he had only made structural innovations based on the original design to make the appearance of the building more beautiful, and he didn't know the cause of the collapse. Leng Siming said he would ask his friends in the engineering field to help investigate and hoped that Sun Hao could communicate with Magi. After listening to Leng Siming's advice, Sun Hao promised to consider it carefully.

At the hotel, Leng Siming found his father, suggesting that Hengsheng Real Estate could consider transforming into a smart real estate company and provide smart home solutions, using their own strength for financing. Leng's father smiled and thought his idea was impractical. He believed that young people who liked smart homes couldn't afford to buy houses, and what the houses in China lacked was vitality for the elderly. Meng Haotian found Liang Luofei's ex-girlfriend, Yang Hong, and asked her if she had a similar experience as Xia Yang, hoping she could help Xia Yang. Yang Hong didn't want the past to affect her current life and felt that even if Meng Haotian exposed the matter, it wouldn't change anything.
