Huang Yimei was naturally intelligent and as beautiful as a fairy. Her parents and brother, Huang Zhenhua, treated her like a treasure. She was pampered since childhood and surrounded by countless admirers as she grew up. Never having experienced any grievances, she began a passionate relationship with Zhuang Guodong. However, when Zhuang Guodong decided to take a job at the Paris headquarters without consulting her, Huang Yimei was heartbroken.

She proposed a breakup out of spite, but couldn't let go, feeling depressed, losing her appetite, and crying in secret. Zhuang Guodong didn't want to be separated from Huang Yimei but also didn't want to miss the promotion and raise opportunity. Being proud by nature, he was unwilling to reconcile with Huang Yimei but couldn't control his longing for her, so he exercised strenuously at the gym until he was exhausted.

Zhuang Taiwen promised to take Zhuang Guodong to apologize to Huang Yimei, but unable to reach him, he invited Huang Yimei out for a meal to apologize on Zhuang Guodong's behalf. However, Huang Yimei didn't accept the apology. Zhuang Taiwen tried to persuade her to reconcile with Zhuang Guodong, citing various examples, but she remained firm.

Huang Zhenhua learned from Zhuang Guodong during a basketball game that Huang Yimei had wrecked Zhuang Guodong's house in a fit of anger and proposed a breakup. Huang Zhenhua advised Zhuang Guodong to make up with Huang Yimei, and Zhuang Guodong admitted he still liked her but didn't want to sacrifice his career prospects for their relationship. Zhuang Guodong then brought up Huang Zhenhua's past breakup, infuriating him.

After the game, Huang Zhenhua, feeling sore, realized he needed more exercise and decided to buy a pair of dumbbells. He found a seller on a forum and arranged to meet, only to discover that the seller was Su Gengsheng. After exchanging the dumbbells for money, Huang Zhenhua walked a few steps when the box gave way, and a dumbbell fell on his toe.

In pain, he cried out, and Su Gengsheng, amused by his pitiful state, helped him to the hospital. Fortunately, he didn't break any bones. Despite his request for a cast, the doctor advised him to rest instead. Su Gengsheng borrowed a wheelchair for him, but Huang Zhenhua blamed her for the injury and demanded an apology, which she refused to give. Instead, she recorded his accusations and left, leaving Huang Zhenhua fuming. Huang Yimei took Huang Zhenhua home.

He advised her to reconcile with Zhuang Guodong, but she refused. He threatened to introduce a new graduate student to Zhuang Guodong, prompting Huang Yimei to stop him. Huang Zhenhua encouraged her to be confident and assured her she could still control Zhuang Guodong even if he went to France. Finally, he asked for Su Gengsheng's contact information, determined to continue their feud. Zhuang Guodong took the initiative to reconcile with Huang Yimei, embracing her without warning.

In anger, she bit his shoulder, but he forcefully kissed her, and they made up. Huang Zhenhua returned home with a suitcase, pretending to have just returned from a trip to Guangxi with Bai Xiaohe, and brought local specialties for his parents. Huang Jianzhi, knowing he was lying, confronted him with the truth he learned from Professor Liang.

Huang Zhenhua admitted to breaking up with Bai Xiaohe but didn't want to worry his parents, so he tried to comfort them instead. On the night she was angry, Huang Yimei had spilled red wine on Zhuang Guodong's wall. Unable to clean it off, she painted four vivid wine flowers over the stain as compensation. Touched by her honesty and cuteness, Zhuang Guodong promised to resolve their long-distance issue soon.

Huang Yimei, focusing on the present, decided to cherish their love now. Huang Zhenhua got Su Gengsheng's QQ number from Huang Yimei and repeatedly sent friend requests until she reluctantly accepted, only to block him soon after. Huang Zhenhua then called her, complaining about his injury and demanding responsibility, even giving her his home address. Su Gengsheng visited after work, only to be met with Huang Zhenhua's exaggerated display of injury.

She quickly saw through his lie using the same X-ray, mocked him, and left, prompting him to leave a bad review of her on the forum in anger. Zhuang Guodong's mother urged him to report to Paris soon, but he claimed he hadn't finished his work handover. His mother, suspecting it was because of Huang Yimei, warned him against being swayed by emotions and compared him to the equally unsuccessful Zhuang Taiwen. Angered, Zhuang Guodong hung up on her.

Seeing the forum post, Su Gengsheng was furious and called Huang Zhenhua to settle the score. When he refused to answer, she confronted him in person, leading to a heated argument.
