Episode 1 Recap

In the late summer and early autumn of 2005, Longcheng, an old industrial city, was suddenly filled with the sound of "super voice" overnight. High school student Zheng Nanyin and her classmates campaigned for a singer in People's Square. Dongni, who had been wandering outside, returned home. Her uncle's family, as well as her younger uncle, Zheng Xijue, and Zheng Nanyin, welcomed her and helped her refresh herself. Dongni announced to everyone that she had gotten married to a German researcher. She showed Xijue the admission notice from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany and asked him to go abroad with her. Dongni didn't think highly of the relationship between Xijue and his girlfriend Chen Yan, and Nanyin also chimed in, saying she didn't like Chen Yan. The sisters teamed up to break up Xijue and Chen Yan. Dongni asked Xijue to accompany her to her parents' house in the steel plant. Dongni's parents, Uncle and Aunt, were an old couple who would fight at the slightest disagreement. They had no idea that their daughter was getting married. Dongni showed them her marriage certificate with Fang Jinghui, and her Uncle and Aunt exploded in anger, leading to a heated argument. In the chaos, Xijue took Dongni away and also recalled their childhood memories. Xijue went to see Chen Yan, who asked him why he didn't tell her that he was going to Germany. Xijue said he had given up a long time ago. Xijue comforted Chen Yan and planned to go home. Chen Yan intentionally made herself allergic to mangoes to keep Xijue with her.

Episode 2 Recap

After dealing with the blind date, Zheng Xijue indirectly encouraged his younger brother to overcome his past failures and rise up again. However, his younger brother claimed that he had already moved on.

An anonymous post appeared on the school forum, bringing up the "teacher-student relationship" between his younger brother and Tang Ruolin from years ago. Zheng Nanyin went to ask Zheng Xijue about it. Zheng Xijue told Zheng Nanyin about his younger brother's past: Years ago, his younger brother taught a class that included a financially struggling female student named Tang Ruolin. Seeing Tang Ruolin's literary talent, his younger brother helped her with her writing in hopes of changing her destiny. Unexpectedly, his younger brother's noble act was maliciously tainted by his sister-in-law who was having an affair and wanted a divorce. His sister-in-law caused a scene at the school and his younger brother was unable to defend himself. The school punished his younger brother and Tang Ruolin transferred to another school without a word since. Since then, his younger brother has been in a slump and became a marginalized teacher. Upon hearing this, Zheng Nanyin was indignant and decided to help his younger brother regain respect at school. Zheng Xijue noticed that Zheng Nanyin seemed to have a secret crush while he was excited. Zheng Xijue warned her not to engage in early relationships. In class, Zheng Nanyin paid special attention to Su Yuanzhi, a male student.

Zheng Xijue and Zheng Nanyin helped clean up his younger brother's dorm, hoping to improve his life. Zheng Xijue brought Chen Yan along. Chen Yan had mixed feelings upon seeing his younger brother's dilapidated dorm room. While Zheng Xijue and Zheng Nanyin were out buying things for his younger brother, he suddenly returned and locked eyes with Chen Yan. When Zheng Xijue and Zheng Nanyin returned and introduced Chen Yan to his younger brother, both of them pretended not to recognize each other.

Episode 3 Recap

Old classmates talked about Little Uncle’s composition comments back then. Zheng Nanyin took out the box of compositions and sent them to everyone. Everyone read the comments that Little Uncle gave them one by one. Nanyin picked up Tang Ruolin and read it out affectionately for her. After reading it out loud, Nanyin said that Little Uncle was the best teacher she had ever met. He always stood up for Tang Ruolin even in the most difficult times and said that Tang Ruolin must have suffered more than him.

Chen Yan came to find Xijue and witnessed this scene outside the classroom. She couldn’t help but cry.

Jiang Yi recognized that Xijue was Dongni’s younger brother and invited Xijue to continue the party with her classmates at KTV. Jiang Yi and Xijue talked about Dongni. Jiang Yi told Xijue that Dongni asked her and Nanyin to plan the birthday party together. The two met each other too late and had a pleasant conversation.

After the birthday party, Xijue found that Little Uncle had once again become a popular figure on campus. Many students passed their compositions to Little Uncle through Xijue in hopes of getting his evaluation. Little Uncle actively helped Xijue prepare the application materials for the school’s fundraising house but was disappointed when he found Chen Yan’s handwriting in the materials.

Episode 4 Recap

Zheng Xijue came to the hospital to visit his elder uncle and witnessed the warm scene of Aunt Hao Lin taking care of his uncle late at night. Chen Yan thought it over but couldn't face Xijue and his younger uncle, so she bought a boat ticket back to her hometown in Anhui. At the pier, Dongni confronted Chen Yan, who revealed that she had resigned and wouldn't return to Longcheng again.

Xijue looked for Chen Yan but couldn't find her, so he found Dongni and asked her not to interfere with his and Chen Yan's relationship. Dongni couldn't help but tell Xijue that Chen Yan was Tang Ruolin. Dongni told Xijue that five years ago, she had stolen a glance at the letter Tang Ruolin had sent to his younger uncle. At that time, she and his younger uncle were innocent, but Chen Yan must have fallen in love with his younger uncle after going to college, and she wouldn't live a peaceful life with Xijue forever.

Xijue went to Anhui to find Chen Yan and she admitted that she was indeed Tang Ruolin. She told him about the past, how her relationship with his younger uncle, which was once a teacher-student one, was misunderstood and slandered, which forced her to drop out of school and travel far away. She had to work as a laborer for others until she was inspired by a letter from his younger uncle and decided to change her name and participate in the college entrance examination again. After entering university, she fell in love with his younger uncle, but her love confession was rejected, and she met Xijue when she was heartbroken.

Xijue asked if she agreed to be with him back then because of his younger uncle's relationship, and Chen Yan denied it, saying that she didn't know about their relationship at all until Dongni secretly went to see her before leaving abroad.

Episode 5 Recap

Zheng Xijue went to the hospital to visit his uncle and witnessed the warm scene of Auntie taking care of his uncle late at night. At the street corner, Chen Yan confessed her feelings to her younger uncle in a state of collapse. Her younger uncle couldn't hide his love and care for her and couldn't help but hug her. Chen Yan realized the affection and love her younger uncle had for her, which he had felt since they communicated but refused to act on it due to the scandal of a "teacher-student romance" and public opinion. Chen Yan was moved and kissed him passionately.

Zheng Xijue followed them and witnessed the embrace between his younger uncle and Chen Yan, which made him give up completely. He was hit by a car on the way, lost and confused.

While unconscious, Zheng Xijue remembered his past: when he was ten, his father died of a heart attack, and his mother was inconsolable and got into a car accident while going to the store, but everyone said it was a suicide for love. His mother's love for his father made her leave him, which made Zheng Xijue never want to hurt anyone with his strong love.

When his younger uncle and Chen Yan found out about Zheng Xijue's accident and tried to visit him, they were stopped by Zheng Dongni. His younger uncle went alone to the train station but was stopped by Zheng Xijue, who was injured. His younger uncle regretted the harm he had caused Zheng Xijue and said he would never be with Chen Yan. However, Zheng Xijue insisted that his younger uncle should follow his heart and be with Chen Yan. Otherwise, Chen Yan's ten years of suffering and his efforts would be meaningless. Zheng Xijue then revealed a secret that only he knew in the family: he was not related to the Zheng family by blood, and his second uncle and second aunt were not his parents. His younger uncle was shocked by this revelation.

Episode 6 Recap

Little Uncle went to Third Uncle's house to explain to Third Uncle and Third Aunty about his situation with Chen Yan, but he was met with strong opposition from them. Jiang Yi and Zheng Xijue got along well as they talked, so they avoided their friends and walked around alone. The next day, Dongni came to school to find Xijue and told him that she had a friend nearby who had an empty apartment where Xijue could stay for a few days and have some peace and quiet. Xijue followed Dongni to an apartment, and to his surprise, the one who didn't want to open the door was Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was not surprised at all and pretended not to know Xijue, inviting them both in. Jiang Yi asked about Dongni's relationship with Fang Jinghui. Xijue then found out that Fang Jinghui was Jiang Yi's senior in college, and it was Jiang Yi who introduced Fang Jinghui to Dongni back in Beijing. Jiang Yi talked about Fang Jinghui's various endeavors in pursuing Dongni back then.

Jiang Yi sent Dongni away and subtly asked about her helping Fang Jinghui start a business in Beijing. Jiang Yi mentioned that Fang Jinghui probably still held shares in a biotechnology company in Beijing. Jiang Yi returned to the apartment and told Xijue that it looked like they were going to be temporary roommates. That evening, Xijue discovered that Jiang Yi's room was full of books. He chatted with Jiang Yi and learned that her parents were both highly educated intellectuals. They talked about literature, and Xijue said that Jiang Yi and Dongni were both different in terms of their academic abilities, but he didn't know how they became friends.

At night at Jiang Yi's house, Zheng Xijue dreamed of his second aunt making dumplings with mushroom filling for him. In his dream, Zheng Xijue told his caring second aunt, "Mom, don't worry, this is not something difficult to endure." When Zheng Xijue woke up, he saw Jiang Yi beside him who had also made dumplings with mushroom filling. Their relationship had clearly progressed further.

On a sunny day, Zheng Xijue secretly brought some things to visit his grandmother at the nursing home without telling his family.

At school, Zheng Nanyin found out that Su Yuanzhi actually wanted to attend a university in Guangzhou, not Longcheng University of Technology, as she had assumed. Su Yuanzhi and Duomu Fang were working together to share study materials, as Duomu Fang's volunteer choice was Guangzhou Finance University. Because Zheng Nanyin was determined to attend Longcheng University of Technology, Su Yuanzhi lied to her out of fear of making her angry. In front of Duomu Fang, Zheng Nanyin forced herself to express support for Su Yuanzhi's aspirations despite feeling disappointed.

Zheng Xijue went to the hospital to visit his elder uncle and suddenly discovered that Zheng Dongni was waiting for an abortion operation at the gynecology department. After inquiring about the situation, Zheng Xijue learned that Zheng Dongni's life in Germany was not as good as she had hoped. Fang Jinghui did not allow Zheng Dongni to work or study outside the home and demanded that she bear him a child. However, Zheng Dongni did not want to become a mother so soon, so Fang Jinghui secretly replaced her birth control pills and got her pregnant. Zheng Dongni felt angry and wanted to get an abortion as revenge against Fang Jinghui.

Episode 8 Recap

After a heart-to-heart conversation, Dongni felt that her younger brother had grown up. She told Xijue not to worry, as she would give birth to the child. Little Uncle wanted to withdraw from the election for the public class and resign to find another way out. Since bringing Chen Yan to their house, Little Uncle had not been able to face Third Uncle, Third Aunty, and Xijue calmly. He wanted to go to a real estate company in Yangcheng with Chen Yan. Chen Yan agreed that Little Uncle should resign, but requested that he complete the public class before leaving. Xijue gave his spot in the public class to Little Uncle.

Because Little Uncle's public class was scheduled for when school ended on Friday, Nanyin was worried that there would be no one there to support him, so she planned to bring classmates to show their support. But since they were still at odds with Third Aunty, Xijue had to pass on the message. Xijue agreed, but when he dialed the phone, he called Dongni instead. As the phone rang, many other students from different grades suddenly poured into the hallway. It turned out that these students had been corrected by Little Uncle in their essays, and they wanted to show their gratitude by attending his class. The headmaster had not anticipated that so many people would come, and had to run back and forth to maintain order.

Little Uncle stood on the podium, facing the crowded audience below. At first, he was very nervous. Just as Xijue and Nanyin were sweating for him, the back door of the classroom opened, and Dongni appeared with his Third Uncle and Third Aunty. Dongni smiled at Xijue, indicating that she had completed her task. In the corner, Chen Yan was shocked to see Third Uncle and Third Aunty, and anxiously looked at Little Uncle. Little Uncle saw Third Uncle and Third Aunty, and was already stunned on the podium.

Episode 9 Recap

In school, Zheng Nanyin confided in Su Yuanzhi, saying that she had a falling out with her family and felt very upset. She said that if she went to Guangzhou in the future, Su Yuanzhi would be the only person she had left. Upon hearing this, Su Yuanzhi felt heartbroken. He didn't want to see Nanyin in trouble, so he decided to switch and apply for Longcheng University of Technology for her sake. Nanyin was overjoyed.

Little Uncle and Chen Yan got their marriage certificate and invited the whole family to a dinner. On the day before the wedding, Chen Yan met Zheng Xijue at the station in the rain and apologized to him. Zheng Xijue accepted Chen Yan's apology.

Dongni and Jiang Yi were shopping at the mall when Dongni invited Jiang Yi to attend Little Uncle's wedding and support Zheng Xijue. Jiang Yi refused, but at the same time, she saw a suit that she liked. She bought it and gave it to Zheng Xijue as his outfit for the wedding the next day. Zheng Xijue was touched and invited Jiang Yi to go to the wedding with him. Jiang Yi tested Zheng Xijue by asking him what identity she should go as. Zheng Xijue blurted out "girlfriend," but then felt it wasn't appropriate, so he let Jiang Yi decide. Jiang Yi pretended to say that Zheng Xijue was Dongni's younger brother and also her younger brother, so she was going to support her younger brother.

After the mock exam, Nanyin chose to go to KTV to play all night with her classmates instead of attending Little Uncle's wedding. Because in the end, Nanyin still chose to go to Longcheng University of Technology, and Third Aunty was no longer angry with Nanyin. Before leaving, Third Aunty stopped Nanyin and volunteered to arrange a meeting with Su Yuanzhi in the future. Nanyin happily agreed.

Episode 10 Recap

Dongni blamed Jiang Yi for being too emotionally indulgent with her feelings, as Zheng Xijue is someone who takes things seriously. Jiang Yi told Dongni that she and her husband had already separated and were planning to divorce, but her husband kept maliciously dragging it out. Jiang Yi then asked about Dongni's relationship with Fang Jinghui and commented that they didn't seem like a couple but more like business partners.

Nanyin cried to Xijue, telling him how much she really likes Su Yuanzhi and that she feels like her life is over. Xijue comforted Nanyin.

Dongni went to the hospital to visit Elder Uncle and, while Auntie was away, she plucked a hair from Elder Uncle. Dongni took the hair to a paternity testing center that Jiang Yi had helped her find and had a DNA test done.

Elder Uncle's condition suddenly worsened and he needed surgery urgently. However, the chief surgeon in Longcheng, Dr. Lei, had a tight schedule and they couldn't make an appointment without connections. Finding a doctor became the top priority for the Zheng family. Third Uncle tried to ask for help from various connections, but still couldn't make an appointment with Dr. Lei. Xijue also helped, but they had no results. Auntie didn't want to bother everyone anymore and decided on conservative treatment, but Dongni strongly disagreed.

Dongni, using Auntie's name, went to see an old friend of Auntie's, the president of a steel company, Mr. Pei. When Dongni met Mr. Pei, she immediately brought up their past and asked for his help.

Auntie had completed the hospital discharge procedures for Elder Uncle and was getting ready to leave, when Xijue received a call from Dongni telling Zheng Yan to prepare for a transfer to another hospital for surgery.

Episode 11 Recap

Jiang Yi presented the divorce papers, stating that she didn't want to deliberately deceive Zheng Xijue. Jiang Yi begged for reconciliation, but Xijue said he could wait for her to finalize the divorce, but not now. Before leaving, Jiang Yi told Xijue that Dongni had done a paternity test. Xijue warned Dongni not to go get the results because if it proved that Dongni was not related to Elder Uncle, he and his wife would be completely finished. Dongni broke down in tears. She had been unable to live a stable life for so many years because she had always had a doubt in her heart. Xijue firmly told Dongni that no matter what the result was, she was still the eldest sister of the Zheng family, and she would always be his and Nanyin's sister.

The whole family went to sweep the graves of Second Uncle and Second Aunty and their grandparents. Third Aunty asked Xijue, Nanyin, and Dongni to burn paper money together as the grandchildren.

Episode 12 Recap

Dongni brought Sprite to Third Aunty's house for dinner. The elderly couple felt a bit uncomfortable with Dongni suddenly becoming a strong woman. In the living room, Chen Yan enthusiastically asked Dongni about investment and financial management, looking like a housewife.

Dongni went to Zheng Xijue's room to change her clothes. When Xijue saw the scar on her neck, Dongni explained that it was from a tree-cutting accident. They couldn't afford to hire workers, and Xijue became suspicious. Dongni couldn't hide it and admitted that she divorced Fang Jinghui because Zheng Chenggong had a genetic disease, and Fang Jinghui abandoned them because of it. Xijue was heartbroken and questioned why Dongni kept it from the family. Dongni said that she would tell them when the time was right, but she didn't want their sympathy now. Xijue was confused, wondering if there was a risk in selling Fang Jinghui's patent since Dongni divorced him. Dongni said that it was unrelated.

The family banquet was about to begin, and the whole family gathered together. However, Dongni insisted on living alone with her two children. Facing everyone's enthusiasm, Sprite gratefully said that it was the first time someone had fought to keep her, feeling extremely happy.

At night, Zheng Nanyin asked Zheng Xijue about his attitude towards Jiang Yi, but he avoided the question. Nanyin said that Xijue was an ostrich! At KTV, Nanyin attended a class reunion and witnessed Du Mu Fang appearing with Su Yuanzhi. Su Yuanzhi and Du Mu Fang had been dating for two years at the same university in Guangzhou. Nanyin pretended to be casual and greeted Du Mu Fang. The classmates cheered for Su Yuanzhi and Du Mu Fang to sing a song together.

Dongni called Jiang Yi and told her that she was dealing with a divorce and transferred 50,000 euros into her account to help her out for a while, and asked her to keep it a secret from Xijue. Jiang Yi said she had already cut off contact with Xijue. Xijue went to the TV station to find Jiang Yi and asked about Fang Jinghui's character. Jiang Yi was slightly surprised to see Xijue, but she told him everything because she knew Xijue was asking for Dongni. Xijue thanked Jiang Yi and invited her to dinner. Jiang Yi saw Xijue's polite attitude towards her, and said she had already successfully divorced and had a boyfriend. Xijue was disappointed, but pretended to be unaffected. Jiang Yi then joked about introducing someone to Xijue, and Xijue readily agreed. Both of them felt lost but pretended to be indifferent.

At this time, Jiang Yi received a call from Zheng Nanyin, who asked her to lend her money to buy a plane ticket and go to Guangzhou with her to find Su Yuanzhi.

Dongni went to Third Aunty's house, and Third Aunty told her that Xijue had taken the children to the supermarket.

At the hotel, Zheng Nanyin watched as time passed by, but Su Yuanzhi did not show up. Zheng Nanyin sent a message to Su Yuanzhi, telling him that if he didn't show up before 10 p.m., he would never see her again.

Anxious and upset, Zheng Nanyin called both Zheng Xijue and Zheng Dongni, but neither of them answered. She then called home and leaned against the balcony railing, but her phone slipped and fell.

Zheng Xijue and Zheng Dongni noticed that they had missed many calls from Zheng Nanyin, but when they called back, no one answered. Worried that something had happened, they split up to search for her. Zheng Dongni went to Zheng Nanyin's university but couldn't find her. While in a rush, she was knocked down by a young man full of youthful energy. The young man accidentally broke Zheng Dongni's phone, but apologized profusely and sincerely discussed compensation with her.

Zheng Dongni's prepared plan to introduce Xue Bi didn't go as planned, and she didn't know how to bring up the topic.

Xijue encouraged Dongni to pull herself together as she was the mother of two children and had to be strong. Dongni understood that Xijue already knew about her situation and he told her not to say anything. It was not her fault and she had been strong enough over the years.

Su Yuanzhi suggested going to the movie theater for an all-night show, as they had nowhere else to go late at night. Nanyin fell asleep on Su Yuanzhi's lap and muttered before sleeping that they didn't want to be separated even if they had to sit by the roadside.

Meanwhile, Fang Jinghui's lawyer met with Dongni and informed her that Fang Jinghui was suing her for selling his patent without permission. The lawyer said that if Dongni gave her child to Fang Jinghui, he would not pursue legal action against her. Dongni went to ask Jiang Yi to accompany her to negotiate with Fang Jinghui, which was actually a plan to test her suspicions that Jiang Yi helped Fang Jinghui steal Zheng Chenggong's birth certificate. At Three Aunty's house, Dongni stayed with Zheng Nanyin for the night, and Nanyin couldn't help but inquire about Dongni's divorce case.

Xijue immediately called Jiang Yi, who thanked him for the warning but said it was already too late. Jiang Yi told Xijue that Dongni had already executed her plan. It turned out that since the moment the waiter brought the champagne, Jiang Yi and Fang Jinghui had realized that it was a trap set by Dongni. They purposely drank the champagne in front of Pi Te's camera. Afterwards, Fang Jinghui went back to his room alone. But Jiang Yi said she didn't hold a grudge against Dongni because Dongni always thought she was the most intelligent woman in the world, when in fact she was so stupid that it was almost pitiful.

Late at night on the highway, Xijue drove his car at breakneck speed to pick up Jiang Yi. Dongni saw Xijue's car from the balcony, but Xijue didn't even look at her the entire time. Dongni felt that Xijue no longer trusted her.

Dongni got drunk and received a call from Leng Shan, who asked why she hadn't come. On the phone, Leng Shan could tell that Dongni wasn't in the right state of mind, so he rushed to the resort on his bike. He went to Dongni's room and knocked on the door loudly. When Dongni opened the door, she was already drunk and disheveled. Leng Shan tried to calm her down and watched her fall asleep.

Episode 21 Recap

Auntie threw Dongni's phone, which had evidence against Fang Jinghui, into the basin. Dongni went downstairs in silence and met Nanyin. She hugged Nanyin tiredly and said she would never acknowledge Auntie again. They met up with Xijue, Xuebi, and others. Nanyin couldn't help but speak up for Auntie, but Dongni noticed the loophole in Nanyin's words and pressured her. Nanyin couldn't escape and admitted that she took the documents. Dongni was shocked to find out that Nanyin was the insider and was angry enough to hit her.

Xijue couldn't help but reveal that Dongni had taken 50,000 euros from Fang Jinghui a long time ago. In fact, Fang had already given Dongni half of their marital assets, but she was still not satisfied. Dongni realized that Jiang Yi had told Xijue about the 50,000 euros. In a fit of rage, she intentionally hurt Xijue by mocking him and saying that Jiang Yi would always be dumped by women when she goes to Beijing. Dongni left with Xuebi and Zheng Chenggong without looking back. Nanyin leaned on Xijue's shoulder, and the two siblings comforted each other.

At Dongni's home, she sat and drank alone while Xuebi put Zheng Chenggong to bed. Xuebi was unhappy, saying that Dongni was lying and that she promised not to fight anymore. Dongni said that Auntie had fought with Elder Uncle in the past. Nanyin complained to Su Yuanzhi about Dongni and sighed that she used to envy her, but now thinks it's better to be like Third Aunty, a virtuous wife and mother who lives a stable life. Nanyin suggested visiting Su Yuanzhi's parents, which touched him deeply.

Episode 22 Recap

Leng Shan comforted Dongni like a good mother, and the two snuggled up to each other on a rainy night. Dongni was shopping when she received a call from Xijue, who said that Third Aunty had a tumor in her stomach, and the possibility of malignancy was quite high. Today was the day when Su Yuanzhi came to visit, and Nanyin went to pick him up. Third Aunty hosted a banquet. Third Uncle suggested that Third Aunty wasn't feeling well and shouldn't cook, but she stubbornly insisted. Nanyin happily brought Su Yuanzhi in, and unknowingly brought joy and laughter to the house. Third Aunty carefully cooked as usual. During the banquet, everyone asked after Su Yuanzhi, especially Third Aunty, who was very concerned for him. The family couldn't tell that anything was wrong, and they were all happy and harmonious. Dongni couldn't help but run to the kitchen and turn on the faucet to cover up her crying when she was only halfway through eating.

Xijue was waiting downstairs to see Nanyin off after sending Su Yuanzhi away. When Nanyin saw Xijue, she collapsed on the ground. It turned out that Nanyin had known all along. Dongni had been worried about Nanyin and followed her downstairs. She tried to comfort Nanyin, saying that she was also afraid. However, Nanyin replied that it was not the same, and that it was not her mother! Nanyin said this and ignored Dongni. Dongni smiled bitterly, looking at the two siblings embracing each other, knowing that no one understood what Third Aunty meant to her.

Dongni was helping at Third Uncle's house and couldn't leave, so she asked Leng Shan to pick up Xuebi from school. Leng Shan brought Xuebi to eat hamburgers and helped her with her homework. Xuebi really liked this "big brother."

Episode 23 Recap

Third Aunty solemnly told Dongni that if anything were to happen to her, Dongni would become the backbone of the family, not Xijue as Dongni had thought. Dongni was confused and believed that it should be Xijue. Third Aunty told Dongni that Xijue was not actually a child of the Zheng family.

It turned out that when Grandpa Zheng was seriously ill, he wanted to see his grandson born before he died. Second Aunty gave birth but the baby was stillborn. Grandma Zheng was worried about how to tell Grandpa Zheng the news. Third Aunty heard that there was a couple in the same ward who gave birth to a illegitimate child that they didn't want, so she took the initiative to discuss with Grandma Zheng and bought the male baby, pretending to be the child of Second Uncle and Second Aunty. At that time, Third Aunty was the one who made the handover with the baby's grandmother. This child is Xijue. Only Second Uncle, Second Aunty, and Grandma Zheng know about this.

Dongni called Xijue but got a call from a bar waiter saying that Xijue was drunk. Dongni realized that today was Xijue's birthday.

Xijue told Dongni that he wanted to stay in Longcheng to take care of Third Aunty, but he also didn't want to leave Jiang Yi.

Nanyin secretly obtained a talisman for protection. Third Aunty saw Nanyin do this and understood that Nanyin must know about her illness. Third Aunty comforted Nanyin, saying that she wouldn't have any problems.

Third Aunty called Nanyin and Su Yuanzhi over and told them that they had already bought a small house for the two of them in the same community, and now she was giving Nanyin to Su Yuanzhi. Su Yuanzhi tightly held Nanyin's hand, indicating that he would take responsibility for her.

Episode 24 Recap

Dongni found Fang Jinghui and handed over the money to return the red envelope that Fang Jinghui gave her. She wouldn't take advantage of him in any way. Dongni said she didn't want the money, only the child. Fang Jinghui agreed to accompany her to the end.

Xijue didn't comment when he saw Leng Shan helping Dongni take care of Xuebi. Dongni took back Xijue's key and handed it over to Leng Shan, telling Xijue not to take care of Xuebi anymore.

Xijue was hit by problem student Zhaozhao and went to Beijing to visit Jiang Yi, planning to try out a training institution for interviews.

On the other side, Nanyin and Su Yuanzhi went to the new house and couldn't help but criticize Third Aunty's taste in decoration.

Xijue suggested going to work in Beijing to his family. Little Uncle strongly supported him, and although Third Uncle and Third Aunty didn't object, they still couldn't bear to let him go.

On the other side, Leng Shan made a neon sign for Dongni's upcoming coffee shop. Dongni was very moved and decided to accept Leng Shan.

Xijue found it difficult to make up his mind to resign, but then Zhaozhao, the student he previously caught cheating, falsely accused him of physically punishing her under the guise of tutoring. Xijue finally made up his mind to resign.

Nanyin thought the neon sign that Leng Shan made for Dongni was very beautiful and wanted to make one for the new house as well, but Su Yuanzhi thought it was too much trouble and believed that Nanyin was just fussing around. Nanyin complained to Xijue that she and Su Yuanzhi were just living together and didn't have a romantic feeling anymore.

Xijue helped Elder Uncle take a bath and bid farewell to him and his wife.

Dongni returned home, and Leng Shan told her that Xijue had been there and went to Beijing. He asked Dongni to visit Elder Uncle more often when she had time.

Episode 25 Recap

Dongni brought Sprite and Zheng Chenggong to visit Grandma. The mother and daughter talked like friends without arguing, and finally opened their hearts to each other after many years of separation. Dongni felt that there might still be a chance for reconciliation between her and Grandma. However, while playing hide-and-seek with the two children, Grandma had a heart attack due to overexertion and passed away unexpectedly. Third Aunty skillfully handled Grandma's funeral, but Dongni never appeared because she could not accept Grandma's sudden departure.

Dongni kept herself busy to numb the pain. She received photos of Grandma when she was young from General Pei. Dongni saw what Grandma looked like when she was young.

Xijue officially broke up with Jiang Yi. He had no possibility of going to Beijing and had to stay to support this broken family. Jiang Yi found it hard to accept.

Dongni moved back to Grandma's house with her two children. Leng Shan came to help and was shocked by the miserable living conditions of Elder Uncle. Dongni told Leng Shan that she was willing to let go and he could leave at any time.

Dongni's cafe opened, and the first customer was Fang Jinghui. Dongni agreed not to ask for any money in the divorce settlement, and Zheng Chenggong was to be taken care of by Fang Jinghui. She now had to take care of Sprite and Elder Uncle and didn't have the energy to take care of Zheng Chenggong anymore. Dongni told Fang Jinghui that she had given up.

Fang Jinghui took Zheng Chenggong and left, telling the child to say goodbye to his mother. However, Dongni walked away without looking back.

However, Zheng Xijue said that he knew he wasn't a Zheng family child ten years ago. The siblings are both sacrificing for each other, hoping the other can be free. Dongni's coffee shop has officially opened. Leng Shan, however, suggested going abroad for a degree. Dongni was disheartened and didn't try to keep him. Leng Shan wanted to help, but Dongni refused. In the midst of their argument, Leng Shan's homemade neon sign was smashed. Su Yuanzhi took the initiative to renovate the room according to Zheng Nanyin's requirements. Zheng Nanyin was moved, and the two reconciled. Xijue took Dongni to visit their aunt's grave. Dongni expressed her complicated emotions towards their aunt, and finally let go of her hatred for her. Xijue also promised Dongni that he would follow Jiang Yi to Beijing. Xijue found Jiang Yi and expressed his love directly, saying that he regretted his past actions. Jiang Yi accepted Xijue's apology, and the two embraced and kissed. Dongni and Leng Shan parted amicably, with Leng Shan admitting that his reason for not wanting to go to the steel factory was not because he didn't want to see Elder Uncle, but because he couldn't accept Dongni giving up Zheng Chenggong. He didn't think Dongni was a good mother. Dongni didn't explain further, and the two parted peacefully. On the other hand, Xue Bi comforted Dongni, saying that she believed Dongni was a good mother. It turned out that Xue Bi had already known that Dongni was her mother. Dongni movedly told Xue Bi that the bravest decision she had ever made in her life was to give birth to her. Little Uncle and Chen Yan's child, Bei Bei, was born. East, West, South, and North all came together.

Zheng Xijue wanted to see the presentation of the project, and Lao Gao said that Xijue was the real selling point. Su Yuanzhi's parents urged the couple to have children as soon as possible, but Zheng Nanyin did not get support from both Su Yuanzhi and her own parents, feeling trapped and dissatisfied. Third Aunty helped Dongni arrange blind dates everywhere, and the other party was a government official - Director Han. Xijue went to Longcheng for business and did not visit Third Uncle and Third Aunty because he only stayed for a short time, and only went to see Dongni. Dongni sent Xijue to the airport, and Xijue saw the news of Third Uncle's chemical plant explosion and hurried back to Third Uncle's home. The reason for the explosion was that Third Uncle's partner, Xu Hui, used non-compliant equipment without telling Third Uncle. However, Xu Hui had already run away with the money, leaving Third Uncle alone to face the injured workers, resulting in Third Uncle being detained by the police. Third Uncle lamented that he had been struggling for thirty years and was back to the pre-liberation era overnight. The whole family tried to raise money as compensation for the injured workers. Third Aunty wanted to mortgage the house and asked Dongni to handle it. Little Uncle also took out the down payment he had prepared to buy a new house. Although Chen Yan was a little angry, she still understood Little Uncle's behavior. Xijue told Jiang Yi that he could not return to Beijing for a short time, and Jiang Yi said that she and her partner Lao Gao would temporarily support the training institution. Xijue went to find Xu Hui's daughter, hoping that she could persuade Xu Hui, who had run away, to surrender, but unexpectedly discovered that Xu Hui's daughter was Zhao Zhao, the student who had falsely accused him in the past.

Third Uncle went to the hospital to console the injured workers, but was beaten by the angry family members because they couldn't gather the compensation money in time. Zheng Xijue finally arrived and protected Third Uncle as they charged out. They went to the emergency department to treat the injuries and were attended to by a doctor named Chen Yucheng. Zheng Dongni rushed over and unexpectedly recognized Chen Yucheng as the biological father of Xuebi, who had left without notice many years ago. Zheng Dongni tried to control her emotions and left without revealing her identity, as Chen Yucheng did not recognize her.

Third Aunty found the red envelope that Su Yuanzhi's parents had left behind and hurriedly asked Zheng Nanyin to return it. However, Zheng Nanyin overheard Su Yuanzhi's parents complaining and felt that their family was very unlucky and would hinder Su Yuanzhi's future.

Upset, Zheng Nanyin could only confide in Zheng Dongni. Zheng Nanyin asked about Xuebi's father and Zheng Dongni once again fell into memories...

On the other side, Zheng Xijue finally caught up with Zhao Zhao, who was playing games in an internet cafe. Zhao Zhao ignored Zheng Xijue and only cared about playing games. Zheng Xijue made a deal with Zhao Zhao that if he won in the game, Zhao Zhao would take him to see Xu Hui. Zhao Zhao didn't take it seriously and agreed, thinking that Zheng Xijue couldn't play games at all. However, with his experience of playing online games in the past, Zheng Xijue quickly defeated Zhao Zhao. Zhao Zhao had to take Zheng Xijue to see Xu Hui. But this time, Zhao Zhao used a trick and left Zheng Xijue alone at the top of the mountain in the forest park, causing him to have to go down the mountain alone in the dark.

After coming down the mountain, Zheng Xijue went to the coffee shop to find Zheng Dongni. Zheng Dongni mocked Zheng Xijue for being played by Zhao Zhao. Zheng Dongni noticed that Zheng Xijue had insomnia, and Zheng Xijue admitted that he had been under a lot of pressure in Beijing for a long time, but he dared not tell Jiang Yi, so he secretly took medication.

Zheng Nanyin worked hard to do household chores in Su's house to earn praise, but Su's mother secretly urged Su Yuanzhi to have children quickly without telling Zheng Nanyin. Su Yuanzhi said that Zheng Nanyin was still young and didn't want to have children so early. Su's mother blamed Zheng Nanyin for not knowing what's good for her. Zheng Nanyin could only endure silently after hearing Su's mother's words. Zheng Nanyin felt that she no longer had the right to be willful.

Dongni went to talk to Xuebi's teacher about her enrollment in middle school but ran into Chen Yucheng who came to pick Xuebi up after school. Dongni was furious to discover that the two had been secretly seeing each other and could not help but slap Xuebi. Dongni insisted that Xuebi had nothing to do with Chen Yucheng and asked him to stay away from her daughter, even if it meant bringing up Director Han again. Chen Yucheng had intended to show Dongni the DNA test report but, seeing how much she despised him, he eventually decided not to and promised not to contact Xuebi again.

Back home, Dongni ordered Xuebi to delete Chen Yucheng's contact information, leaving her feeling very upset. Zheng Xijue criticized Dongni for hitting a child and asked about the situation with Chen Yucheng. Dongni finally admitted that he was Xuebi's father.

Feeling helpless, Zheng Nanyin wanted to confide in Zheng Xijue, but when she returned home, she found that Zheng Xijue had brought Zhao Zhao to live with them. Third Uncle and Third Aunty were busy preparing the bed for Zhao Zhao.

Zheng Xijue took Zhao Zhao to the cinema to fulfill her wish, but feeling ignored, Zheng Nanyin tagged along. However, halfway through the movie, Zhao Zhao began to experience pain all over her body due to her illness. Reluctantly, Zheng Xijue had to take her home to rest. Looking at the painful Zhao Zhao, Zheng Nanyin suddenly felt that her own troubles were insignificant.

Zheng Xijue and Zheng Nanyin took Zhao Zhao to the countryside for a picnic. Seeing the mountains full of flowers, Zhao Zhao once again ignited her desire to live. She begged Zheng Xijue to help her delay the sentencing of Xu Hui, as she wanted to see her father one last time. Zheng Xijue had to promise her.

Zheng Xijue sought out Chen Yucheng and begged him to readmit Zhao Zhao to the hospital, but Chen Yucheng refused, saying that the hospital's beds were in short supply and had to be reserved for patients with hope. Zheng Xijue pleaded with Chen Yucheng, saying that Zhao Zhao only wanted to see her father one last time. However, Chen Yucheng mocked Zheng Xijue, saying that he was not Santa Claus.

Zheng Xijue had no choice but to look for another hospital, but the results were not ideal. He wanted to continue to find new treatments, but Zhao Zhao secretly went to see Xu Hui's lawyer without telling him. She asked the lawyer to transfer her medical records to Xu Hui, letting him know that her condition was incurable and to stop fighting. She asked Xu Hui to compensate the workers, which would be a way to repay Third Uncle's family's kindness.

Chen Yucheng took the opportunity to propose to Dongni, hoping to give Xuebi a normal family. Dongni hesitated a bit. Nanyin gave up a great opportunity to go on a foreign assignment to accompany Su Yuanzhi abroad. However, when she returned home, Su's mother forced Nanyin, who was most afraid of fish, to kill fish and make spicy fish head for Su Yuanzhi to eat. She even suspected that Nanyin's fear of fish was just a princess-like pretense. Nanyin finally couldn't bear it anymore and had a conflict with Su's mother. Su Yuanzhi persuaded Nanyin to apologize to Su's mother, but Nanyin directly asked for a divorce, saying that she didn't want to grow up like this!

Episode 34 Recap

After the movie ended, Xijue found signs of heavy bleeding on Zhao Zhao and rushed her to the hospital. At the emergency room, Zhao Zhao, who was on the verge of death, kept mentioning Yucheng's name. Xijue went to find Yucheng and begged him to come and see Zhao Zhao. However, Yucheng refused Xijue, saying that it wouldn't make any difference who saw Zhao Zhao's condition because it was hopeless. Before leaving, Zhao Zhao asked Xijue to tell Xu Hui that she had tried very hard. Xijue tearfully promised her.

Dongni arrived at the hospital only to find out that Zhao Zhao had already passed away. Angry, Dongni wanted to confront Yucheng, but Xijue, who remained silent, pulled her away. Xu Hui learned of Zhao Zhao's death and finally revealed where the money was hidden.

Jiang Yi received a call from Xijue in Beijing and comforted him, saying that he had already done enough for Zhao Zhao.

At the cemetery, Dongni and Third Uncle and Third Aunty lit incense for Zhao Zhao. Dongni saw Yucheng also brought flowers to mourn Zhao Zhao, but Yucheng said he was only doing it to please Dongni. Dongni pointed out the biggest difference between Xijue and Yucheng in her eyes: both suffered, but Xijue would want to prevent others from suffering the same fate while Yucheng would just watch others suffer and tell them that the world is cruel.

Xijue learned that the training institution had closed down due to a long hiatus and felt extremely guilty. Laogao comforted him, saying that they would drink with the new investor tonight and there would be a chance for a comeback.

Episode 35 Recap

Su Yuanzhi and Zheng Nanyin reached a consensus on their respective choices. Chen Yucheng and Zheng Dongni went out for a picnic with Xue Bi, and Xue Bi pulled Zheng Xijue along. Zheng Dongni tested Xue Bi's attitude towards her and Chen Yucheng getting married, but Xue Bi expressed that she just wanted Zheng Dongni to be happy and not to sacrifice herself for Xue Bi's sake. Zheng Dongni didn't expect to be awakened by Xue Bi's words. Zheng Dongni told Chen Yucheng that she wouldn't marry him because she didn't love him at the moment, but they could continue to co-parent Xue Bi as father and mother. Chen Yucheng refused to believe that this was Xue Bi's attitude and insisted that Zheng Xijue had influenced Zheng Dongni's judgment.

Chen Yucheng talked with Zheng Xijue alone, and to vent his resentment, he sarcastically attacked Zheng Xijue's kindness, believing that Zheng Xijue was kidnapping others with his kindness. Finally, Chen Yucheng also told Zheng Xijue that Zhao Zhao and Zheng Xijue were both "hypocrites" who only cared about their own interests. Zheng Xijue angrily fought with Chen Yucheng and always hit the back of Chen Yucheng's head, causing him to pass out...

Zheng Xijue was arrested by the police, and he voluntarily admitted that he had started the fight. Chen Yucheng remained unconscious, and Zheng Dongni took Xue Bi to the hospital to see Chen Yucheng. Xue Bi called out "daddy," but Chen Yucheng did not respond. Zheng Dongni was busy consulting a lawyer, and the lawyer said that the severity of the matter would depend on whether Chen Yucheng would pursue legal action after waking up.

 

Episode 36 (Ending) Recap

Xue Bi sneaked into Chen Yucheng's hospital room and had a heart-to-heart talk with him, urging him to see Zheng Dongni. However, Chen Yucheng remained tight-lipped and refused to speak.

Su's parents insisted that Zheng Nanyin give up her plan to go to Africa and accompany Su Yuanzhi to Switzerland. Zheng Nanyin encouraged herself and finally firmly refused Su's parents' request.

Zheng Nanyin took Dongni, Jiang Yi, and Chen Yan out to eat barbecue to celebrate and said that they had to eat well and get fat so that Zheng Xijue wouldn't feel guilty. The four women talked about Xijue and each of them recalled his goodness. Jiang Yi immediately vowed that she was willing to wait no matter how long Xijue was sentenced.

Su's mother went directly to Third Aunty, hoping to persuade Zheng Nanyin and also said that their child would have Swiss nationality when born. However, Third Aunty said that she didn't care about the nationality of her grandchild, and only cared if Zheng Nanyin was happy now, leaving Su's mother with no response.

Dongni slipped into Chen Yucheng's room while he was sleeping and told him that she was willing to take care of him for the rest of her life.

Doctor Ye came to tell Chen Yucheng that there was a new treatment plan that he could try, and even though the chances of success were low, they would not give up. Chen Yucheng suddenly understood Xijue's kindness.

Chen Yucheng finally agreed to see Dongni, and he told her that he would not sue Xijue anymore. He would work hard to treat his right hand and try to return to work next year.
