00:00At the beginning of the series, the main character, Shufei, talks about herself.
00:05She's a game designer at a famous game development company.
00:08She says she's 28 years old and everything in her life is going well, except for one
00:12thing – her mom.
00:14Her mom doesn't see any of Shufei's success and only cares about one thing – getting
00:18her married as soon as possible.
00:20Shufei admits that she's afraid of relationships but can't seem to convince her mom of that.
00:25Then, she gets a call from her mom, who yells at her, saying that if she doesn't find
00:28a boyfriend soon, she'll arrange an old-fashioned matchmaking marriage for her.
00:33That's when Shufei realizes she has no other option but to rent a fake boyfriend.
00:37Shufei goes into her friend Mingming's room and asks her to find a guy from the acting
00:41department who can pretend to be her boyfriend for the Christmas holidays.
00:45Mingming tells her to consider it done and quickly gets in touch with someone.
00:48In the next scene, we see Shufei sitting in a cafe, waiting for the guy.
00:53Shufei is clearly uncomfortable around the male waiter and tries to keep her distance.
00:57Then a handsome man walks into the cafe, and both Mingming and Shufei are immediately
01:02impressed by his looks.
01:03He sits with them, and Shufei explains the deal – she wants to hire him for three days
01:07to act as her boyfriend during New Year's celebrations in front of her mom and friends.
01:12She tells him to play the role well and offers him 1,000 yuan a day.
01:15He agrees, and we find out his name is Jixuan.
01:18When the celebrations begin, on the first day, Shufei takes Jixuan and points out their
01:23first target – a neighbor who's talking to her daughter's fiancé and to Shufei's
01:27mom.
01:28The neighbor says she hopes Shufei gets married soon.
01:31That's when Shufei and Jixuan step in, and Jixuan introduces himself as Shufei's boyfriend
01:36and even says he works with her.
01:38The women are both impressed.
01:39Later, Shufei's mom invites Jixuan over for dinner.
01:43He introduces himself and says that both his parents are dead and he has no family, but
01:47now he feels like he does.
01:49Shufei is amazed by how good he is at acting, and she secretly laughs at what he's doing.
01:54Her parents, on the other hand, are very impressed by him.
01:57After a while, Shufei's mom takes her dad to his room because he's feeling dizzy, and
02:01she tells Jixuan to feel at home.
02:04Shufei gets up to take Jixuan to the guest room, but finds that her mom has filled it
02:07with storage and junk.
02:09The only room left is Shufei's own.
02:11When she enters her room, she realizes her mom has taken all the extra blankets and mattresses
02:16on purpose so that the only place Jixuan can sleep is on her bed.
02:21Shufei gets nervous, but Jixuan says it's fine and he'll sleep normally.
02:25That night, Shufei goes to sleep, and in the morning, she wakes up to find Jixuan literally
02:29holding her in his arms.
02:31She stares at him for a moment, admiring how good-looking he is, then jumps out of bed
02:35screaming.
02:36When Jixuan wakes up, he calmly tells her they were just sleeping and nothing happened.
02:41Shufei sends him his payment for the day and thanks him.
02:44He tells her she can hire him anytime.
02:46She responds, saying she won't need to for the next three years.
02:49Jixuan is confused and asks if she plans to stay single for three years.
02:54She explains her plan.
02:56In year one, she'll tell her parents she's in a long-distance relationship with him.
03:00In year two, she'll say they fought and tried to get back together but didn't work out.
03:04And in year three, she'll pretend she's healing from the breakup.
03:07Jixuan thinks she's completely crazy and decides to leave.
03:11When the two of them head out, Shufei finds her father waiting for them.
03:15He apologizes for what her mother did and says it's not right for Jixuan to sleep in
03:19her room again.
03:20He insists on preparing the guest room for him and asks Jixuan to stay with them a few
03:24more days.
03:25Shufei takes Jixuan to the room and they agree on a new contract.
03:29This time, she'll pay him less since this wasn't entirely her choice.
03:33They add a condition, he's not allowed to touch her at all, and if she ever has to touch
03:37him, she'll pay him extra.
03:39Jixuan agrees to her terms, but adds one of his own, she's not allowed to fall in love
03:43with him.
03:44Shufei thinks he's full of himself, but assures him that she's totally turned off by men anyway.
03:49In the next scene, they're having breakfast together.
03:52Shufei's mom happily serves Jixuan a huge amount of food, clearly pleased with him.
03:57After the meal, Jixuan starts complaining about the portion sizes.
04:00He tells her that he's an athlete and needs to stay in shape to land good acting roles.
04:04Then, in a playful moment, he lifts Shufei onto his shoulder like a weight, technically
04:09breaking the contract.
04:10But he says his body is his only concern right now.
04:13When he takes off his shirt and gets closer to Shufei, she gets really flustered and asks
04:18him to back off.
04:19She promises to pay him extra for every kilogram he gains from her mom's food from now on.
04:24The next day, the family gathers for another meal, but this time Shufei snatches food off
04:28Jixuan's plate, claiming she's still hungry.
04:31Her mom is clearly suspicious.
04:34After the meal, Shufei goes for a walk with Jixuan.
04:37When he leaves briefly to grab something, she's approached by two guys from her university
04:41days.
04:42They start mocking her, saying that all their classmates are either married or dating, while
04:46she's still single.
04:47Just as one of them reaches toward her, Jixuan shows up, pushes them back, and introduces
04:52himself as her boyfriend.
04:54He warns them to stay away.
04:55Later, when Shufei returns home, she keeps thinking about what Jixuan did.
05:00She remembers how good he looked in his mask and gets lost in thought, even sketching his
05:04face without realizing it.
05:06When she sees the drawing she says, this is the hero for our new game.
05:10She calls Mingming and tells her she's found the perfect main character for the new game.
05:14Mingming starts noticing that Shufei is becoming affected by Jixuan, especially since she keeps
05:19talking about him.
05:20Shufei admits she doesn't know what's happening to her, but she feels strange heartbeats whenever
05:24she's near him.
05:26Mingming warns her not to fall for him and reminds her that this is just a contract,
05:30and they absolutely can't break it.
05:32Shufei tells herself she needs to stop thinking about Jixuan.
05:35But that night she dreams about him.
05:37She wakes up startled and tells herself she needs to distract her mind from him, fast.
05:42But the opposite ends up happening.
05:44When Shufei sees Jixuan working out with the new dumbbells he bought, she's captivated
05:48by how handsome he looks.
05:50She starts sketching him in different poses for the game character she's designing.
05:54When Jixuan notices her watching him, he tells her he knows he's good looking, but reminds
05:58her they have a contract, she can't fall for him, and what she's doing is making him uncomfortable.
06:03Shufei quickly says he's completely misunderstood and that she's not thinking about him at
06:07all.
06:08He moves closer to see what she's drawing, but she tries to hide the sketch just as her
06:12mother suddenly walks into the room.
06:14They quickly pretend they were eating sweets together until her mom is reassured and leaves.
06:19Right after, Jixuan tells Shufei she owes him extra money because he touched her in
06:23front of her mom.
06:24She reminds him that he touched her the night before too and didn't charge her.
06:28But he says that was an accident and she should just forget about it.
06:32Shufei feels annoyed by this, but we realize Jixuan is acting this way to keep her from
06:36liking him or getting too close.
06:38Later, Shufei vents to Mingming, telling her that Jixuan charged her extra.
06:43Mingming warns her that since she paid once, he might try to make her pay again and again.
06:47She advises Shufei to be careful so he doesn't take advantage of her.
06:51Shufei gets frustrated and decides she's going to go get her money back one way or another.
06:56She remembers Jixuan told her he had a shoot that day and wouldn't be able to play her
07:00boyfriend, so she heads to the filming location.
07:03There, she finds him sitting in a bathtub, wearing a historical costume, looking incredibly
07:08attractive, but clearly freezing.
07:10The director keeps yelling at him and making him repeat the scene over and over in the
07:14cold water.
07:15Shufei approaches and asks why he's putting up with this.
07:18Jixuan tells her he's not actually the lead actor, he's just a stand-in for someone else.
07:23Then she sees the real actor, an older man who turns out to be the producer and took
07:27the lead role for himself.
07:29Jixuan adds that he'll only appear from behind in the final scene.
07:33Shufei feels sorry for him and tells him confidently that she believes he'll be more famous than
07:37any actor in China one day.
07:39She gently taps his shoulder in support.
07:41Jixuan laughs and tells her he's not going to charge her for emotional support, but Shufei
07:46gets upset, feeling like he's truly taking advantage of her.
07:49Shufei calls Mingming again, this time telling her she wants to amend the contract so that
07:53they only have to pay each other if their bare skin touches, not through clothes.
07:58Jixuan agrees to the new terms, and they both start wearing layers of clothing to avoid
08:02accidental contact.
08:04But their families notice, especially Shufei's mom, who sees Shufei wearing a mask and questions
08:09her about it.
08:10Shufei lies and says she has a cold, prompting her mom to insist on taking her to the hospital.
08:15Shufei panics and begs Jixuan for help, so he tells her mom that Shufei is lying and
08:20that they're just in the middle of a fight and she doesn't want him to kiss her.
08:23Back in the room, Jixuan asks for extra money for helping her avoid the hospital trip.
08:28Shufei gets frustrated, and Jixuan secretly thinks to himself that it's better if she
08:32sees him as greedy and manipulative, anything to stop her from falling for him.
08:36He even pushes the situation further by tripping her so she falls on him, touches his hand,
08:42and then calls her clumsy and asks for more money.
08:44This pushes Shufei over the edge.
08:46She isolates herself from him, angry and offended.
08:50Jixuan keeps playing the villain.
08:52When Shufei's mom asks her to call Jixuan for dinner, he says his working hours are
08:56over and she'll have to pay more.
08:58Shufei refuses, saying she won't pay him even if he starves.
09:02But her mom keeps pressuring her until she gives in and pays him again, fuming with anger.
09:07She vents by punching her teddy bear and promises herself she'll get her money back from that manipulator.
09:12Later that night, Shufei sneaks into Jixuan's room to try to transfer money back to herself
09:17from his account.
09:18But Jixuan suddenly hugs her, startling her.
09:21She panics and runs away, clearly nervous from the closeness.
09:25Jixuan smiles to himself, revealing he was awake and did it on purpose.
09:29The next day, while Jixuan is in the bathroom, Shufei steals his phone again to make the
09:34transfer but she discovers he's done the same contract thing with other girls too.
09:38However, he hasn't charged them nearly as much.
09:41When Jixuan comes out, she confronts him and demands to know why he's only doing this with her.
09:46Jixuan tells her bluntly that it's because she likes him and that's against the rules.
09:50He charges her more so she won't forget that their relationship is just business.
09:54He warns her not to sneak into his room again.
09:57Shufei defends herself, saying she's not into him like he thinks.
10:01She explains that she's been observing and sketching him because she picked him to be
10:04the main character of the new game at her company, nothing more.
10:08That's why she needs to study him in different situations.
10:11Then, Shufei receives a message from her family saying they'll be out of town for a few days.
10:16Jixuan immediately says that since he's fulfilled his role, he's leaving.
10:20But before he goes, he tells her he'll return the extra money he took, now that it turns
10:24out she doesn't like him after all.
10:26But Shufei wants him to stay with her, so she tries to stop him.
10:30She tells him that she draws inspiration from his personality and that he has to stay until
10:34she finishes the painting.
10:36Jixuan refuses, but Shufei keeps pulling him back until she ends up straining her back.
10:40So Jixuan has no choice but to stay and take care of her.
10:44In the next scene, Shufei is sitting in a work meeting in front of the camera when Jixuan
10:48suddenly walks out naked in front of everyone, asking her to help him take his body measurements
10:53to see how much progress he's made with his workouts.
10:55Shufei, feeling embarrassed, does it on camera.
10:59Shufei decides to get back at him.
11:01While Jixuan is talking to a client and her father, telling them he's planning to marry
11:04the daughter as soon as he returns from his trip, Shufei walks into the room and starts
11:09talking in a way that makes it sound like she's his girlfriend and still wants him.
11:13The client and her daughter are shocked, and the daughter ends up blocking Jixuan without
11:17even paying her bill.
11:18Jixuan is devastated and tells Shufei that she made him lose a big sum of money.
11:23But Shufei tells him he embarrassed her in front of the team too.
11:26When Shufei sees how angry Jixuan really is, she apologizes and promises to pay him back
11:31for the money he lost and to make it up to him.
11:34But she asks him to come with her to her university reunion to protect her from a student who
11:38bullied her the last time.
11:40In a flashback, we see that this guy used to constantly confess his love to Shufei,
11:44and when she rejected him, he started bullying her.
11:47He's the reason she has such a complex when it comes to men.
11:51Jixuan refuses to go with her, and Shufei feels insulted.
11:54She tells him she doesn't need him.
11:56Shufei calls Mingming and asks her to come instead.
11:59She does go to the event, but Mingming later calls to apologize and says she can't make
12:04it.
12:05Shufei feels scared but refuses to call Jixuan.
12:07She asks to leave, but her friends insist she stay.
12:10Then the bully pulls her and pressures her to drink.
12:13Suddenly, Jixuan shows up, pulls her away from them, and tells them not to dare touch
12:17his girlfriend.
12:18Shufei feels relieved and thanks him for coming to help her.
12:22After that, he takes her to a restaurant where they drink together.
12:25Shufei thanks him sincerely for his help and promises she'll never fall in love with him
12:29and that she'll pay him whatever he wants.
12:32Jixuan tells her that he does this job because it pays better than voice dubbing and that
12:36he's an orphan and has to support himself.
12:38Shufei is shocked to find out he's really an orphan and hadn't lied to her family.
12:42She starts to feel closer to him and promises not to bother him again.
12:46Since she's drunk, she suddenly leans in and kisses him, surprising Jixuan.
12:51The next morning, Shufei wakes up to find herself in Jixuan's arms, and he's shirtless.
12:56She screams and moves away from him, asking what happened between them.
13:00Jixuan tells her she was drunk and threw up on his clothes, so he had to take them off.
13:04Just before Jixuan asks Shufei to compensate him, they hear the door and find Mingming
13:09standing there with her boyfriend.
13:11She asks Shufei if she can stay with her because her mom kicked her out of the house.
13:15Shufei agrees, but tells her that her boyfriend will have to share a room with Jixuan.
13:19When Jixuan comes out to see who the guy is, he realizes it's Link, his old college classmate,
13:24and the two clearly can't stand each other.
13:26Shufei and Mingming try to help the two men get along, but Jixuan confronts Mingming and
13:31asks why she hasn't told Shufei the truth about Link.
13:34Mingming gets angry and tells him not to interfere in their personal matters, reminding
13:38him that he's just a rental boyfriend and can't possibly know what's best for Shufei
13:42better than she does.
13:43Then she walks off, leaving him there.
13:46Jixuan goes into the room and confronts Link, telling him to stop lying and pretending because
13:50he's bad at it.
13:51Link responds calmly, saying that Mingming accepts him the way he is and that Jixuan
13:55should stay out of it.
13:57The actual issue between them still isn't revealed at this point.
14:00In the next scene, Link makes breakfast for everyone, showing how sweet, thoughtful, and
14:05romantic he is.
14:06This makes Shufei feel jealous, especially when she compares him to Jixuan, who keeps
14:10to himself in his room most of the time and doesn't care about her at all.
14:14Shufei asks Jixuan to make her a coffee, but he asks her for extra money, arguing with
14:19her and reminding her that they're not actually dating.
14:22Shufei feels upset and later vents to Mingming, saying she's tired of this situation.
14:27Even if Jixuan is just pretending to be her boyfriend, the least he can do is act like
14:31it properly.
14:32Meanwhile, Link talks to Jixuan and tells him there's no need for all this hostility.
14:37He knows Jixuan is acting this way to stop Shufei from developing feelings for him.
14:42He tells Jixuan that if he truly has feelings for Shufei, he should confess before it's
14:46too late.
14:47At the same time, Shufei is with Mingming, who sees the contract between her and Jixuan
14:51and discovers that Jixuan had returned the extra money and even paid the last month's
14:56rent for the house.
14:57Shufei tells her not to be fooled by those gestures.
15:00He's still a harsh person deep down.
15:02Feeling cornered, Mingming finally confesses.
15:04She admits she's sorry, when she was looking for a guy to rent for Shufei, she came across
15:09Link, thought he was sweet, and ended up hiring him for herself.
15:13Then she randomly found a replacement for Shufei, and that's how Jixuan ended up being
15:17her rental boyfriend.
15:18Shufei is shocked.
15:19She suggests they just swap guys to make things fair, but Mingming refuses.
15:24That's when Mingming realizes that Shufei has genuinely started falling for Jixuan.
15:28She promises to help make Jixuan softer with her, just like Link is.
15:33Together, they decide to change the contract.
15:35If Jixuan loses to Link in a competition they set up, he'll have to leave the house.
15:39They hope this will push Jixuan to try harder and that he'll take it seriously so he doesn't
15:44get kicked out.
15:45But as this conversation is happening, Jixuan happens to walk past the room and hears Shufei
15:49telling Mingming everything.
15:51He feels insulted and used, thinking they're playing games with him.
15:55Without saying anything, he goes to pack his things and leave the house.
15:58Meanwhile, Shufei tells Mingming that she truly hopes Jixuan never leaves, but that's
16:03the one part Jixuan doesn't hear.
16:05But Link tries to stop him.
16:06Jixuan ends up telling him everything, including that the loser in the competition will have
16:11to leave the house.
16:12Link tells him that if he leaves now, Shufei won't let him stay with Mingming either, and
16:17she'll kick him out.
16:18He admits that he genuinely loves Mingming and wants to stay with her.
16:21He pleads with Jixuan to stay too, saying that he's sure Jixuan has feelings for Shufei,
16:26that's why they both need to win the girl's hearts.
16:28In the next scene, the four of them gather to finalize the new contract.
16:32Link and Jixuan are surprised to find that Shufei and Mingming have changed the terms.
16:37Now, the winner will be Shufei's boyfriend, and the loser will become Mingming's boyfriend
16:41and will have to contribute to the rent and house expenses, instead of being kicked out.
16:46Shufei looks at Jixuan and tells him that if he wants to back out, she has no problem
16:50with it.
16:51But Jixuan says he won't back out and agrees to enter the competition against Link.
16:55The competition involves house chores.
16:57Since Link is better at things like cleaning and cooking, he ends up winning.
17:01Jixuan is forced to sign the new contract, agreeing to pay part of the rent and cover
17:05house expenses, and to do whatever Shufei asks of him.
17:08So Jixuan begins his new role, where he has to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner for Shufei
17:13and follow her orders.
17:15One day, she asks him for a massage because she's feeling sore, but Jixuan refuses and
17:20reminds her of the old contract.
17:22They weren't allowed any physical contact.
17:24But since that contract is no longer valid, he decides to walk away and leave the house.
17:29Despite Link trying to stop him, Jixuan insists, packs his things, and says he'll be gone by
17:34morning.
17:35Later that night, feeling upset, Jixuan goes to the living room to drink.
17:39Shufei finds him there, it's the first time she's seen him drinking like that, so she
17:43asks him what's wrong.
17:44That's when Jixuan tells her he's leaving.
17:47He says he should've left a long time ago, that she went from someone who needed his
17:50help and was paying for a service, to someone who manipulates and uses him like he's not
17:55even a human being.
17:56He tells her she's been constantly comparing him to Link and that he refuses to let himself
18:00be treated this way.
18:02He adds that he'll return all the money she's ever paid him since the day they signed the
18:05contract, and says Link can take over his role now.
18:08Shufei goes back to her room in tears and tells Mingming she doesn't want Jixuan to
18:12leave, but she made a promise that she wouldn't fall for him, so she can't bring herself to
18:16tell him she's in love with him.
18:18All she wants now is not the money back, but for him to come back.
18:22At that moment, Link enters the room and interrupts them.
18:25He says he overheard what they were saying about Jixuan and wants to tell them about
18:29his own life to prove that he's not the selfish person they think he is.
18:33Link tells them that Jixuan is an orphan and poor, and his dream was to become an actor.
18:37While he was still studying at university, he was popular and handsome with the girls.
18:42One girl asked him to be her boyfriend for money, and because he needed the cash, he
18:46agreed.
18:47This became his job.
18:48But one of his clients actually fell in love with him for real and kept begging him to
18:52love her back.
18:53Since he refused, she decided to expose him and told the whole university about his job.
18:58That's why he became hated among the students and was bullied.
19:01This affected his overall grades, and he didn't achieve the scores he had dreamed of.
19:05Because of that, he couldn't succeed as an actor.
19:08So, he decided to continue with a boyfriend-for-rent job but made a promise to himself to never
19:13let any client fall in love with him again.
19:15When Shufei hears the story, she's very moved, especially since she remembers all the times
19:20he helped her sincerely, even though he was holding himself back.
19:24The next day, Shufei sees Jixuan as he's walking and gives him the drawing she made for him
19:28for the game.
19:29She tells him he was her inspiration all this time and that she's happy to have met him.
19:33Jixuan tells her he's not upset about what happened and understands it's normal for her
19:37to choose Link over him.
19:39But she doesn't know how to explain that she only acted that way to make him jealous.
19:43She tells him she never really thought that way and admits she made a mistake doing the
19:47challenge with Mingming.
19:48She apologizes if she ever belittled him in any way.
19:52Jixuan is touched by her words and decides to get back together with her and continue
19:56his job instead of leaving her.
19:58In the next scene, the four of them go out for a double date to send pictures to their
20:01families.
20:02They're happy and play the game Finger Down together.
20:06During the game, Jixuan admits that he's never been in a serious relationship or fallen in
20:10love before, but he did lose his first kiss.
20:13When everyone wants to know how it happened, he refuses to explain what Shufei did to him
20:17when she was drunk.
20:19Meanwhile, Shufei hesitates to admit if she currently likes anyone and keeps her finger
20:23down.
20:24But Jixuan holds his finger down at the last moment.
20:27Link's answers are clear and straightforward.
20:29He admits he likes Mingming.
20:31When the game ends, Shufei is drunk and jealous.
20:34She asks Jixuan who he likes and whether the girl he likes is the one who stole his
20:38first kiss.
20:39Jixuan tries to dodge the question, but Shufei holds him and insists.
20:43Before Jixuan can answer, he kisses her.
20:46Shufei is shocked but responds with a kiss back.
20:48The next day, Shufei wakes up not remembering what happened and thinks she was dreaming
20:52about kissing Jixuan.
20:54This makes her start avoiding him completely because her feelings have become serious.
20:59But Jixuan is very upset because he thinks she's ignoring him after what happened, not
21:03knowing she doesn't remember.
21:05Suddenly, Shufei finds out her father has come to check on them.
21:08So she and Jixuan quickly run to hide Link, Mingming, and their dog.
21:12When her father enters, he feels something strange and hears the dog barking.
21:16But Shufei tells him it's just the phone ringing.
21:18However, Shufei's mom notices dog hair on her husband's pants and realizes there's a
21:23dog in their house.
21:24In the next scene, Shufei and Mingming are playing a game made by Shufei's company where
21:28they date handsome fictional characters.
21:31They stay so busy playing that Jixuan and Link get jealous and talk about how they need
21:35to find out what the girls like about those imaginary characters.
21:38They play the game themselves to observe the characters' behavior.
21:41The next day, Jixuan and Link start acting suspiciously like the game characters and
21:46the girls don't understand why they're behaving that way.
21:49They sit them down and ask them to confess everything.
21:52When Link admits what's going on, the girls laugh hard at their silly behavior.
21:56The girls tell them it's just a game and that they like those behaviors only inside the
21:59game, not in real life.
22:01They want to act normal and human outside the game.
22:04Shufei tells Jixuan his imitation skills are terrible and that if anyone saw him, he'd
22:09never get a chance to be an actor.
22:11Then they get an idea.
22:12Just like they made male characters inside the girls' game, they could create female
22:16characters inside a game for the boys to play.
22:19Shufei likes the idea and thinks about presenting it to the company's boss.
22:22On Chinese New Year's Day, Shufei's family comes to celebrate with her, and they have
22:26to hide Link and Mingming.
22:28Link notices Mingming is upset and asks her to put aside her pride and make peace with
22:32her parents because no matter how strict they are, even if it affects his own stay there,
22:36he'll find somewhere else to live.
22:38Mingming is touched by his words and admits her love for him, and he also confesses his
22:43love.
22:44They start seriously promising each other things, which Jixuan notices and feels jealous
22:48about, especially since Shufei is busy with work and they're busy together.
22:52No one has started working on the game they said they would design for the company.
22:56Jixuan talks to the dog and tells him he feels lonely and that no one cares about him anymore.
23:01He starts calling Shufei stupid, but she hears him and tries to get closer to hit him.
23:06However, their closeness makes things tense between them.
23:09The next day, while Jixuan is training, Mingming comes to him and says she wants to confess
23:13something.
23:14They did it because she and Shufei were drunk and made a bet.
23:17Shufei won the bet, and as a result, she would take Link to pretend to be her boyfriend
23:21for a few days.
23:22Jixuan gets very upset about this, and Shufei notices he's upset and refuses to talk to
23:27her.
23:28She apologizes and tells him she wasn't in her right mind when she made the bet, and
23:32that isn't real anyway, because Mingming and Link actually love each other.
23:36But Jixuan stays upset, while Mingming and Link watch happily, since this is their plan
23:41to prove to Jixuan that he loves Shufei.
23:43The four of them sit together to set the terms of the agreement.
23:46Mingming decides to take it further and tells Shufei that since Shufei will have Link for
23:50a few days, she will also take Jixuan during that time.
23:54Shufei looks very upset and thinks Jixuan will refuse, but Jixuan agrees just to annoy
23:58Shufei and make her change her mind.
24:00The next day, Link starts doing a good job of paying more attention to Shufei, which
24:04makes Jixuan very jealous.
24:07Jixuan also starts caring for Mingming more than necessary, which makes Link jealous and
24:11upset, even though he knows it's just a plan.
24:14Meanwhile, Shufei, instead of getting jealous, feels sad because Jixuan has never cared for
24:19her like that before.
24:20She starts wondering why he treats Mingming differently and always asks her for money.
24:25Then Shufei decides to go to Mingming and asks her to stop the challenge and bring Jixuan
24:29back to her.
24:30She says she really loves Link anyway, so there's no need for all this.
24:34Mingming asks her why she changed her mind and says Jixuan's attention means there are
24:38no problems between them.
24:40She also says she discovered he's not cold and cruel as she thought but kind, and she
24:44managed to win him over and make him do what she wants.
24:47Shufei feels even more jealous and tells Mingming she doesn't care if Jixuan treats
24:51her well or badly because in any case, she wants him and loves him as he is.
24:56She wishes he was her real boyfriend, not just pretending.
24:59When Shufei says this, she realizes Jixuan and Link are standing there, and we find out
25:03Jixuan was part of the plan too.
25:06Mingming had agreed with him and Link on everything to force Shufei to admit she loves him herself.
25:11Mingming tells Jixuan that Shufei is actually insecure around men but has never gotten close
25:15to anyone the way she got close to him, which means she loves him.
25:19If she wasn't sure he loved her, she wouldn't have asked him to do that.
25:22Jixuan decides to confess to Mingming that he really loves Shufei, and they continue
25:26with the plan they made together.
25:28Shufei was shocked by what happened and looked at Jixuan, asking him if he really loved her.
25:33At that moment, the door opened and Shufei's mom came in, forcing everyone to hide.
25:39Jixuan and Shufei hid inside the closet, but then Jixuan asked her, why are we hiding?
25:43It's normal for us to be here.
25:45Meanwhile, Shufei's mom saw the shoes outside and realized there were people in the house
25:50besides Jixuan and Shufei.
25:52She also heard the dog barking, so she found them and made everyone sit in front of her
25:56with the dog.
25:57Then her husband came in, shocked by what was happening.
26:00He blamed his wife for not finding out about this sooner.
26:03She sat in the room, and one by one, Mingming came in.
26:07Mingming started talking, telling her that her parents kicked her out of the house because
26:10of a problem, and she had to rent Link to live with her here, since Jixuan and Shufei
26:15couldn't stay alone.
26:16The lady told her that no matter what, it wasn't right to leave her parents and live
26:20with a strange man.
26:21When Link came in, the lady blamed him for what they were doing.
26:25He told her that he truly loved Mingming, and since then he had deleted the boyfriend
26:29rental app and was seriously dating her.
26:31When the lady found out about the boyfriend rental app and that its owner was Shufei,
26:35she assumed Shufei must have done the same.
26:38After that, she called Jixuan, and from the way he looked at her daughter, she was sure
26:42he really loved her.
26:43She refused to tell him she had discovered the truth about their relationship but showed
26:47him pictures of Shufei as a child.
26:49Jixuan told her that he truly loved her daughter and knew she was afraid of entering relationships,
26:54but he managed to get through the first stage with her.
26:57He said he could get through every stage with her, even if she had to undergo therapy, and
27:01he would be there for her.
27:02The mother realized that Jixuan really loved Shufei.
27:05When Shufei came in, her mom yelled at her and said she knew everything.
27:09She said she never expected Shufei to lie to her and rent a boyfriend just to escape
27:13marriage, and she told her she wouldn't let this matter go easily.
27:17After she leaves, Shufei's mom calls the four guys and tells them she's sending them to
27:21a hotel starting tomorrow.
27:23She'll pay for the hotel until they find somewhere to stay.
27:26Only the girls will stay at the house.
27:28Then she decides to tell Jixuan that she knows everything and thanks him for all he's done
27:32so far, but her daughter will be going on a real arranged date tomorrow.
27:36Jixuan is shocked.
27:37In fact, Shufei's mom has agreed with her husband to do this to see if Jixuan will take
27:41a serious step with Shufei or not.
27:43Jixuan is so shocked that he doesn't say anything when Shufei's mom tells him this.
27:48Shufei feels sad and tells Mingming she expected a reaction but thinks Jixuan was actually
27:53cowardly.
27:54Shufei asks Mingming what she'll do with Link, and Mingming says she doesn't know where their
27:58relationship will go now and feels confused.
28:00Then Link goes to Mingming and tells her he really loves her, whether they stay there
28:04or even if they end up living on the street, but he will never give up on her.
28:08When Jixuan sees this, he decides to go to Shufei and confess his real love for her.
28:13When he gets to her, he finds her crying and thinks it's because she's afraid of relationships.
28:17He hesitates to confess and walks away, leaving Shufei crying even more.
28:22The next day, Jixuan packs his bag to leave.
28:25Shufei is getting ready for the arranged date, while her mom waits to see if Jixuan will
28:29make a move, but he doesn't.
28:31When Shufei leaves, her mom notices Jixuan is upset and loudly says the location of the
28:36restaurant where the date is happening.
28:37Jixuan realizes she's helping him, thanks her, and runs out of the house.
28:42At that moment, Shufei is on the date, feeling confused and sad, thinking about Jixuan.
28:47Suddenly, Jixuan shows up, apologizes to the guy with her, tells him she's not single,
28:53takes her hand, and leaves with her.
28:54Shufei asks him why he came.
28:56He says he'll tell her later, then walks her home.
28:59He goes back to her parents, who are watching him, and tells them he's been an orphan since
29:03he was young.
29:04When he joined their family he really loved them and considered them his own, feeling
29:08the warmth of family.
29:09He shows them that he deleted the boyfriend rental app and that he really loves Shufei
29:13and wants to stay with her.
29:15Her parents accept him and are happy to have him around.
29:18Jixuan returns home, finds Shufei, and confesses his love.
29:22He tells her he's never loved and will never love anyone else but her.
29:25He jokes that from now on, he won't take money from her if she touches him.
29:29They start dating for real.
29:31Shufei goes with Jixuan to theater rehearsals, and Jixuan apologizes to the girls who used
29:36to talk to him, saying he's no longer available because he has a real girlfriend now.
29:40They move in together and live alone.
29:42The series ends with Jixuan deciding to take Shufei to the filming location after he becomes
29:47a famous actor.
29:48He gives her an engagement ring and asks her to stay with him forever.
29:52And that's the end of the series.
