The Best Friend – Liu Yongxi, Liu Chenglin, Mai Tong

Duan Ruonan wants to propose to her boyfriend Li Xiao after four years of relationship. However, her best friend Fan Xiaowei was dumped by her boyfriend. Angry Duan Ruonan went to Chen Chen’s engagement ceremony, Fan Xiaowei’s ex-boyfriend. At the wedding, Duan Ruonan listed all the crimes of the unfaithful man Chen Chen and accused him of abandoning Fan Xiaowei who had been with him for many years for money. Now he is engaged to another woman while still hiding it from Fan Xiaowei. He will definitely get his comeuppance. The engagement ceremony of the unfaithful man Chen Chen was ruined and his ugly face was exposed in public. Duan Ruonan finally helped Fan Xiaowei vent her anger. On the other hand, Fan Xiaowei who wanted to commit suicide due to emotional frustration was rescued by Li Xiao who arrived in time. The two best friends promised to protect each other for life. However, Chen Chen did not want to let go of Fan Xiaowei easily and posted her photo online. Fan Xiaowei was humiliated by the messages on the internet and her psychological defense line collapsed again. She went to the rooftop and prepared to end her life. Fortunately, Duan Ruonan and Li Xiao discovered her situation in time and saved her again.

Ruonan and her boyfriend Li Xiao carefully comforted Fan Xiaowei who was emotionally hurt. In order to help her get out of the emotional haze as soon as possible, Ruonan decided to take her and Li Xiao camping together and planned to propose to Li Xiao during the camping trip. The next day, Fan Xiaowei who caught a cold waited for Li Xiao to come back with medicine but ran into Ruonan who came home early. Fan Xiaowei and Li Xiao had to be evasive, but Ruonan who was bold did not realize that there was already an ambiguous affection between them. On the way to camping, Fan Xiaowei told Li Xiao about Ruonan’s proposal surprise in advance. Ruonan and Li Xiao had been in love for years, but Li Xiao who was afraid of marriage had been unwilling to take on the responsibility of starting a family. After learning about Ruonan’s proposal plan, Li Xiao found a way to drop the ring into the water. The two had a fierce argument at the camping base. Li Xiao often compared Fan Xiaowei with Ruonan. He became less tolerant of Ruonan’s irritability and more appreciative and moved by Fan Xiaowei.

Ruonan was in a bad mood because of her failed proposal and got angry with Li Xiao. However, Fan Xiaowei was very gentle in comforting Ruonan and made her reflect on her own temper. Ruonan realized that she felt that her passion had been worn down by getting along with Li Xiao day by day. So she and Fan Xiaowei went to the bar to get drunk. They even played happily with friends they met at the bar. Fan Xiaowei who was worried about Ruonan’s situation sent a message to Li Xiao. Li Xiao rushed to the door of the bar to pick them up and saw Ruonan who was drunk and he was very disgusted. On the way, Fan Xiaowei persuaded them not to be angry. Li Xiao finally expressed his unwillingness to get married…

Fan Xiaowei came up with a clever solution to defuse the crisis. The next day, Li Xiao prepared a gift to thank Fan Xiaowei for her help. Li Xiao appreciated Fan Xiaowei’s gentleness and kindness which was in stark contrast to Ruonan. However, Fan Xiaowei refused Li Xiao’s emotional expression because she did not accept Li Xiao’s treatment of her good sister Ruonan. Especially when Li Xiao bought the swan necklace that Fan Xiaowei wanted but was misunderstood by Ruonan as a proposal gift for herself, Fan Xiaowei became even more guilty. She took the initiative to find Li Xiao and clarify her inner thoughts and hoped that Li Xiao could treat Ruonan well. But this made Li Xiao panic and he realized that Fan Xiaowei was the one he should be with at this moment…

Just when Fan Xiaowei was explaining to Ruonan that nothing had happened between her and Li Xiao, Ruonan got angry and wanted to slap Fan Xiaowei. However, she accidentally hit Li Xiao instead. Li Xiao was completely enraged. He angrily criticized Ruonan for all the things she had done wrong in recent years and said that he was not happy with his relationship with Ruonan at all. He was full of grievances and Ruonan could not understand or accept it. Her true feelings turned out to be a kind of grievance in Li Xiao’s eyes. Li Xiao officially broke up with Ruonan. Ruonan was forced to leave the house she shared with Li Xiao and moved into an old and shabby apartment. The difficulties of her new life made her very sad. On the first day of work at her new company, she couldn’t control her emotions and had a conflict with Wu Ze whom she met by chance. After reporting to her new company, Ruonan was surprised to find that Wu Ze whom she had just argued with was actually her boss…

After Li Xiao and Ruonan broke up, he became Fan Xiaowei’s boyfriend. However, Fan Xiaowei who was extremely insecure began to show a control desire that was almost pathological towards Li Xiao, making him feel suffocated. As a new employee of the company, Ruonan was called out by her boss Gu Hong to socialize with clients and was harassed by a lewd client. She was rescued again by Wu Ze. Ruonan went to the bathroom to fix herself up and happened to run into Li Xiao who was also at the hotel. Their encounter triggered strong dissatisfaction from Fan Xiaowei who had followed Li Xiao. Ruonan wanted to leave but was entangled by Li Xiao. Wu Ze helped Ruonan again and even sent her home, expressing his fondness for her. Ruonan was not used to having a man be so considerate of her and felt scared. Wu Ze expressed his feelings warmly and said he wasn’t in a hurry for an answer. Li Xiao made it clear that he could no longer tolerate Fan Xiaowei’s crazy behavior. Fan Xiaowei apologized and obtained forgiveness, so she blamed Ruonan for everything and became even more controlling towards Li Xiao…

Wu Ze sent Ruonan home and they confided in each other. Meanwhile, Li Xiao was annoyed by Fan Xiaowei’s deliberate attempts to please him. He finally couldn’t sit still and went to find Ruonan. However, he found Wu Ze at Ruonan’s house. Li Xiao argued with Wu Ze but was questioned by Wu Ze about what his identity was and why he was interfering in Ruonan’s private affairs. Li Xiao was speechless. Fan Xiaowei couldn’t stand Li Xiao’s sudden visit to Ruonan even more. In order to bring Li Xiao back, she deliberately cut herself with a knife and went to the hospital. Ruonan felt guilty about this and went to the hospital to explain things to Fan Xiaowei and said that she would not be involved with Li Xiao anymore and would start a new life. The next day, Ruonan was dissatisfied with Sun Beijia’s fault-finding and argued with him. However, Sun Beijia turned around and accused Ruonan of relying on men to get ahead. Angry Ruonan wanted to hit Sun Beijia but was stopped by Gu Hong who deliberately made things difficult for her and privately asked her to be his lover again…

Li Xiao confessed to Ruonan that he still couldn’t let go of her, but Ruonan said she wouldn’t turn back anymore. Li Xiao was not convinced and went home to break up with Fan Xiaowei. However, Fan Xiaowei apologized again and promised to change, so he forgave her. Ruonan planned to pretend to agree to Gu Hong’s invitation and go to the hotel. Gu Hong thought that Ruonan had really agreed to be his mistress and became complacent, revealing many secrets hidden in his heart. All of this was heard by Gu Tai who was brought by Wu Ze. Gu Tai made a scene and Gu Hong was transferred away by the group due to his misconduct. Ruonan finally got rid of Gu Hong’s harassment. After winning, Ruonan forced Sun Beijia to apologize. Sun Beijia apologized under pressure but still harbored hatred towards Ruonan. Li Xiao enjoyed Fan Xiaowei’s care while planning to win back Ruonan. He was wavering between two women and didn’t know what he really wanted. One day, he accidentally discovered a tracker installed in his phone by Fan Xiaowei at home…

Li Xiao was rejected when he proposed to break up with Fan Xiaowei. The two had a fierce argument and Fan Xiaowei fainted due to stress. After waking up, she received a call from home and learned that her father was injured and hospitalized. Li Xiao continued to win back Ruonan. Ruonan couldn’t bear to be too cruel and was misunderstood by Wu Ze as being fickle. Fan Xiaowei asked Li Xiao for help in paying medical expenses. Li Xiao agreed but asked for a breakup with Fan Xiaowei as the only condition. Fan Xiaowei reluctantly agreed. After losing her source of income, Fan Xiaowei began looking for work and eventually joined Sanyuan e-commerce company with Sun Beijia’s help. The gentle and considerate Fan Xiaowei quickly won the trust of her colleagues, but Ruonan believed that Fan Xiaowei was approaching her with bad intentions. The two were always at odds and colleagues were dissatisfied with Ruonan’s behavior…

Xiao Wei pretended to be injured and cried, blaming herself for making a mistake. However, Sun Beijia attributed it to Ruonan’s push and deliberately made things difficult for Ruonan. He demanded that Ruonan come up with a solution to solve the problem, otherwise he would judge Ruonan as an unqualified intern. Ruonan and Wu Ze were at a loss, but Li Xiao relied on his connections to borrow the broken perfume and arrived at the event site in time to help Ruonan save the day. Ruonan was grateful to Li Xiao, which made Wu Ze unhappy. At the celebration party, everyone witnessed the intimacy between Ruonan and Li Xiao. Wu Ze was jealous and misunderstood their relationship. He demanded fairness and deliberately punished Ruonan. Ruonan admitted her mistake and willingly accepted the punishment. Li Xiao stayed behind voluntarily and helped Ruonan clean up the venue but accidentally cut his hand. Ruonan was moved by Li Xiao’s actions. For the new project, Ruonan didn’t want to work with Fan Xiaowei. However, Fan Xiaowei took advantage of this and arranged for colleagues to think that Ruonan was arrogant and difficult to work with…
