00:00:00The show begins with Xun Na, who finally returns to China after learning that Xin Jia, her
00:00:05adopted brother, is planning to take over as chairman of her family's company.
00:00:09But she came back to get revenge and expose his schemes.
00:00:12When Xun Na arrives at the party Xin Jia held to announce his new position, neither of them
00:00:16looks happy to see the other.
00:00:18Still, Xun Na is forced to dance with him since in front of everyone, they are considered
00:00:22siblings.
00:00:23Xin Jia curiously asks why she came back.
00:00:26Was it because she missed her first love from their school days?
00:00:29But Xun Na tells him he's not her first love like he thinks, it was his friend.
00:00:33Xin Jia says that makes sense, since she always used to say he was adopted after being
00:00:38abandoned by his family.
00:00:39But Xun Na adds that there's no way she could ever fall in love with someone who's just
00:00:43adopted and clearly after her family's company.
00:00:46She assures him she came to China for one reason only, to take revenge.
00:00:50However, we learn that Xun Na and Xin Jia actually used to love each other in the past,
00:00:55until he betrayed her.
00:00:56Later, a commotion breaks out at the party.
00:00:58Rumors spread that Xin Jia is involved in illegal business practices.
00:01:02Xin Jia's friend rushes over and tells him their dealings with the international company
00:01:06have been leaked to the press.
00:01:08When Xin Jia sees Xun Na smiling, he realizes she's the one who did it.
00:01:12Xun Na's friend asks her what happened, and Xun Na explains that she found out Xin Jia
00:01:17was working with a so-called financial consulting company, which in reality was involved in
00:01:21illegal activities just for profit.
00:01:23She decided to expose him on the most important day of his life.
00:01:27But when Xun Na returns home, she gets scolded by her father.
00:01:30He tells her he knows exactly what Xin Jia is doing, and that Xin Jia's work with the
00:01:35company is actually for the benefit of their own family business.
00:01:38He says it was wrong of her to make a scene in public.
00:01:41Xin Jia also tells her to stop acting like a child, and if she wants revenge, she should
00:01:45handle it personally, not through the companies.
00:01:48Then Xun Na asks Ming Li where her mother is.
00:01:50She gets a bit nervous and says her mother is staying at her family's house.
00:01:54Later, Xun Na overhears the maid talking to Xin Jia and finds out he's going to meet a
00:01:58girl at a hotel.
00:02:00She assumes the girl is his fiancé and decides to get revenge on him through her, planning
00:02:04to tell her what a selfish and unfaithful man Xin Jia really is.
00:02:08After a while, Xun Na manages to sneak into the hotel room, but she's shocked to find
00:02:12Ming Li in bed with a woman.
00:02:14Even more shocking, it's the same woman she once saw Xin Jia cheating on her with years
00:02:18ago.
00:02:20Xun Na is terrified, Xun Na runs out of the room and Ming Li chases after her, trying
00:02:23to explain.
00:02:24Later, Xun Na returns to the room with a plan.
00:02:27She wants to expose the woman, so she takes out her phone to record her.
00:02:31The two get into a fight, but soon Xin Jia's and Ming Li enters the room and separates
00:02:35them.
00:02:36Xun Na's anger only grows when she sees Ming Li rushing to check on the woman, Bai Xia,
00:02:41instead of her.
00:02:42She yells at him, furious that he would betray her mother like this.
00:02:46But he tells her that he and her mother have been divorced for a long time and that there
00:02:49was no betrayal.
00:02:51He tells her to ask Xin Jia if she doesn't believe him.
00:02:54Xun Na turns to Xin Jia, stunned, and he's speechless, unable to defend himself.
00:02:59Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, she walks out of the room.
00:03:02Outside, she confronts Xin Jia again, accusing him of being in on this whole act with Bai
00:03:07Xia to manipulate Ming Li into falling for her so they could both take over the company.
00:03:12She believes Bai Xia's his ex and suspects this is all part of a plan.
00:03:16But Xin Jia firmly denies having anything to do with Bai Xia and Ming Li.
00:03:20He says that after the divorce, Ming Li genuinely fell for Bai Xia and that he had no part in
00:03:24it.
00:03:25Then he reminds her that she was the one who left for 5 years to avoid him.
00:03:29Didn't even answer her mother's calls when she wanted to talk about the divorce.
00:03:33So how could she blame him now for not telling her something he couldn't even reach her to
00:03:36say?
00:03:37But Xun Na, overwhelmed by emotion, insists that Xin Jia is doing all this to get revenge
00:03:42on her.
00:03:43She says she knows he's still bitter over what she once said about him being adopted
00:03:47and not having a real family to love him like hers loved her, and that he's here now just
00:03:51to ruin her family.
00:03:52Feeling deeply hurt, Xin Jia stares at her with pride and says, if that's what you really
00:03:57believe, then fine.
00:03:58Yes, I want to destroy and take revenge on your family.
00:04:02Then Xun Na tells him that if she ever finds out he had anything to do with Ming Li and
00:04:06Bai Xia's relationship, she'll never forgive him.
00:04:09As Xun Na walks away, a car nearly hits her, but Xin Jia rushes over and pulls her to
00:04:14safety just in time.
00:04:15That moment triggers a memory for Xun Na.
00:04:17When they were children, she had once nearly been hit by a falling clothes rack.
00:04:21And Xin Jia had saved her then too, telling her he'd always protect her.
00:04:25But now, she pushes him away and walks off to her car, leaving him behind.
00:04:30Later, when Xin Jia returns home, he gets on the phone, and it's revealed that he's
00:04:34talking to Bai Xia.
00:04:35Through their conversation, we discover that they are in on it together.
00:04:39Bai Xia's job is to make Ming Li fall in love with her and marry her, so she can help
00:04:43Xin Jia gain control of the company.
00:04:45Still, Xin Jia seems deeply troubled after what happened that day, especially after seeing
00:04:50how devastated Xun Na was.
00:04:52Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Xun Na goes to her mother's house, crying.
00:04:57She apologizes for not knowing about the divorce and asks what really happened.
00:05:01Her mother explains that she discovered Ming Li had been secretly selling off company assets
00:05:05behind her back, so she decided to leave him.
00:05:08She also tells Xun Na about a condition in her grandmother's will.
00:05:12If she remarries, a large portion of Ming Li's company shares will legally transfer
00:05:16to Xun Na.
00:05:17But her mother warns her not to marry just for money, she doesn't want her daughter to
00:05:20get dragged into the mess between her and her ex-husband.
00:05:24Xun Na promises her she won't let it go.
00:05:26She's going to join Ming Li's company, recover everything he stole, and make him pay for
00:05:31what he's done.
00:05:32The next day, Xun Na goes to the company and demands a position.
00:05:35But Ming Li refuses, he insists she's not fit for management.
00:05:39When she won't back down, he yells at her and says if she really wants to work there,
00:05:43she has to give up her bank cards and start at the bottom like any regular employee.
00:05:47Xun Na throws the cards in his face and storms out.
00:05:50Outside, she runs into Xun Jia and blames him for everything.
00:05:54She walks off again.
00:05:55Xun Jia, trying to calm Ming Li down, tells him not to be too harsh, but Ming Li is firm.
00:06:01If Xun Na wants to work there, she'll have to prove herself.
00:06:04When Xun Jia later goes out looking for her, he can't find her.
00:06:07He becomes worried especially when her mother calls him and says Xun Na never showed up
00:06:11at her place, and she's getting really anxious.
00:06:14At that moment, Xun Na is by the sea, where she runs into Bai Xia.
00:06:18The two women argue again.
00:06:20Bai Xia, smug and mocking, tells Xun Na to speak to her with some respect.
00:06:25After all, soon she'll be her stepmother.
00:06:27With a tone full of spite, Bai Xia tells her she's always wanted everything Xun Na had,
00:06:32and now that the opportunity has come, she's not going to waste it.
00:06:35Xun Na feels crushed, overwhelmed by everything.
00:06:38When Xun Jia finds her in that state, her ankle twisted and bruised, without hesitation
00:06:43he takes her to a hotel to rest.
00:06:46As she sits there, her mind drifts to what her mother had told her.
00:06:49Xun Jia wasn't the reason behind her parents' divorce.
00:06:52In fact, he had helped her mother find a good lawyer and made sure she got the house and
00:06:56a plot of land in the settlement.
00:06:58Without his help, her mother might have ended up with nothing.
00:07:01Xun Na snaps out of her thoughts as Xun Jia enters the room with a first aid kit.
00:07:05But she pushes him away, demanding he leave.
00:07:08He tells her he just wants to check on her ankle, but when she shoves him again, he stumbles
00:07:12and falls on top of her.
00:07:14Both of them freeze, clearly tense.
00:07:16Xun Jia quickly gets up, and when she tries to push him away again, he lifts her up and
00:07:20gently places her on the bed, then starts applying ointment to her swollen ankle.
00:07:25Later, after Xun Jia leaves, Xun Na gets a call from her assistant.
00:07:29He tells her that Bai Xia isn't just Mingle's girlfriend, he actually plans to marry her.
00:07:34Not only that, he's gifted her a beauty center under her name, and the grand opening is tomorrow.
00:07:39Xun Na decides to attend the event, and crashes it.
00:07:42In front of everyone, she exposes Bai Xia's relationship with Ming Li and accuses her
00:07:47of using his money for her own luxuries.
00:07:50Just as she's about to splash water on her, Xun Jia steps in, blocking her, and carries
00:07:54her out while the crowd takes photos and videos of the scene.
00:07:57Outside, Xun Na keeps struggling, hitting him and yelling, demanding to know what he
00:08:02wants from her and telling him to stay out of her life.
00:08:04Xun Jia tries to calm her down, but they both end up falling into the nearby fountain.
00:08:09As she tries to hit him again, Xun Jia finally snaps and tells her to stop causing scandals
00:08:14like this.
00:08:15He takes her back to his place.
00:08:16In the car, Xun Na angrily asks what he really wants from her and accuses him of defending
00:08:21Bai Xia just like he did at the event.
00:08:23But Xun Jia tells her he's not protecting Bai Xia, he was protecting her.
00:08:27Then he offers to let her stay at his place for the night, saying she has nowhere else
00:08:31to go.
00:08:32He gives her some clothes and tells her to take a warm shower before she catches a cold.
00:08:36While Xun Jia prepares food, he reflects on their past.
00:08:39At the same time, Xun Na notices his old cello, the one he used to play when they were kids.
00:08:44Xun Jia brings her a hot drink and says he just wants to make sure she's okay.
00:08:48But Xun Na cuts to the point, why was he so desperate to prevent a scene at the opening?
00:08:53Was it really just to protect Bai Xia?
00:08:56Xun Jia dodges the question and instead teases her, asking if she was jealous.
00:09:00She brushes it off, saying she has no reason to be, he's engaged after all.
00:09:05But then Xun Jia tells her he ended that engagement two years ago.
00:09:08Xun Na is shocked when she hears that.
00:09:10Xun Na decides she can't stay at Xun Jia's place any longer and tries to return to Mingle's house.
00:09:16But instead of welcoming her, Ming Li slaps her across the face in anger over the scandal
00:09:20she caused with Bai Xia.
00:09:22She yells at her, accusing her of dragging the family's reputation through the mud.
00:09:26Hurt and furious, Xun Na vows to get revenge for everything he's done.
00:09:30Later, she meets her best friend, who tries to reason with her.
00:09:34She tells Xun Na she's misunderstood everything.
00:09:37Bai Xia wasn't the reason behind her parents' divorce, Ming Li met her only afterward.
00:09:42Then she suggests that maybe Bai Xia, unable to marry Xun Jia, decided to marry Ming Li out of spite.
00:09:48Xun Na dismisses the idea, convinced that Bai Xia and Xun Jia are in this together to destroy Ming Li.
00:09:54Meanwhile, Xun Jia is seen holding a photo of his biological father, sadness etched on his face.
00:09:59He promises the picture that he'll take revenge on Xun Na's family for what they did to him.
00:10:04Back in Xun Na's world, she realizes her public outburst has caused serious issues for the company.
00:10:10So, the next day, she attends a meeting with investors,
00:10:13determined to prove that everything is fine between her and Ming Li.
00:10:16To control the damage, she and Ming Li agree to appear together in a live TV interview.
00:10:22The deal is, he denies the relationship with Bai Xia and in return,
00:10:26Xun Na gets the corporate position she's been fighting for.
00:10:29But during the interview, Ming Li only partially honors their deal.
00:10:32He claims they're a tight-knit family, but says Xun Na lacks experience
00:10:36and announces that she'll work as Xun Jia's assistant.
00:10:39Worst of all, he doesn't deny his relationship with Bai Xia.
00:10:42Despite her anger, Xun Na is still relieved that she's finally inside the company.
00:10:47On her first day, Xun Jia sarcastically tells her he's curious to see whether
00:10:51she'll actually work or just act spoiled like Ming Li always said.
00:10:55Xun Na snaps back, telling him not to judge her, and assures him she'll prove herself.
00:11:00During her break, Xun Na receives messages from her best friend,
00:11:04along with photos of Xun Jia and Bai Xia looking suspiciously close.
00:11:08Her friend says it seems Xun Na was right all along.
00:11:11Fueled by rage and betrayal,
00:11:12Xun Na asks her to gather as many photos of Xun Jia and Bai Xia as possible and send
00:11:17them anonymously to Ming Li to finally convince him that the two are conspiring against him.
00:11:22When Ming Li receives the anonymous photos, he immediately confronts Xun Jia,
00:11:26asking if he had known Bai Xia before.
00:11:28Xun Jia admits they were close friends in university,
00:11:31and though Ming Li expresses suspicion about why Xun Jia never mentioned this earlier,
00:11:35Xun Jia calmly explains he didn't think it was important and insists he has nothing to hide.
00:11:40A short while later, Xun Na walks into the office and overhears a conversation between Ming Li
00:11:45and Xun Jia about the money being spent on the beauty center and the villa Bai Xia wants in her
00:11:49name. The conversation confirms her fears, Xun Jia and Bai Xia are now taking large sums of
00:11:54money from Ming Li. Driven by suspicion, she sneaks into Xun Jia's office to look for documents
00:12:00related to the beauty center, but just as she's about to find something, she hears Xun Jia
00:12:04approaching. She tries to escape, but he catches her. With a smug tone, Xun Jia teases her,
00:12:10you've done all this just to see me changing? You could have just asked,
00:12:13I would have recorded a video for you. Xun Na, unfazed, looks him straight in the eye and tells
00:12:19him she knows he's working with Bai Xia to take Ming Li's money. She adds that she sees them
00:12:23together all the time. Xun Jia replies that Bai Xia has always been just a close friend,
00:12:28but it's clear she still has unresolved feelings for him. Xun Na scoffs at the idea,
00:12:33saying that's impossible. Then, we flash back to their high school days.
00:12:37Xun Jia is performing a cello piece on stage at school while Xun Na, behind the curtains,
00:12:42accidentally switches on a mic. The audience hears her tell her friend how she's fallen for the boy
00:12:47her family adopted as a brother. Embarrassed, she quickly tries to save face, saying she'd
00:12:52never fall for someone adopted, a foundling like that. Xun Jia hears it all, deeply hurt,
00:12:57he decides to pretend he's dating Bai Xia just to save his pride. When Xun Na sees this,
00:13:02she also pretends she was talking about Xun Jia's best friend, trying to convince everyone that
00:13:07they're secretly dating. Back in the present, Xun Jia notices Xun Na wearing the same necklace he
00:13:12once gave her. He takes it off her neck and asks bitterly, if you forgot about me, why are you
00:13:17still wearing this? He then demands that she be honest. Does she still love him? Xun Na denies
00:13:23it, but Xun Jia, overwhelmed by emotion, kisses her. To his surprise, Xun Na responds. He tells
00:13:29her that now he's sure she still loves him. But Xun Na quickly pulls away and throws a cruel jab,
00:13:35saying that because Xun Jia has no family, he's begging for love from anyone who gives
00:13:39him attention. Crushed, Xun Jia still confesses that he loves her. That's when Xun Na makes a
00:13:44bold offer. She challenges him, let's make a deal. I'll give you three months. If you make me fall
00:13:50for you, I'll marry you. But if I don't love you by then, you'll leave me, the house, the company,
00:13:56everything. Xun Jia agrees without hesitation. The next day, Xun Na wakes up and finds breakfast
00:14:01already prepared. She sarcastically tells him that he never wastes time, but that silly little
00:14:06gestures like these won't make her fall in love with him. He confidently replies that he didn't
00:14:11make the breakfast. The maid did, just like every other day. Xun Na tells him he better start
00:14:16thinking about where he'll go in three months and maybe find a woman he can charm into marrying him
00:14:20when he has nothing. But he tells her that's not going to happen, because he's not going to marry
00:14:25anyone but her. She pulls her hand away, annoyed by his overconfidence. Later, we see Xun Na with
00:14:31her uncle, who is a shareholder in the company but has decided to pull out after a dispute with
00:14:36his sister. Xun Na asks him for help, but he says he promised his sister he wouldn't get involved
00:14:41in the company's affairs again. Xun Na tells him that Ming Li is spending the company's money on
00:14:46a young girl he wants to marry, and all she's asking for is that he help her launch an investigation
00:14:51into the company's accounting department to figure out exactly where the money is going.
00:14:55He agrees to do it for her. After that, Xun Na takes her mother out shopping. While they're out,
00:15:00they randomly run into Bai Xia. Bai Xia starts provoking Xun Na's mother until she becomes
00:15:05extremely distressed and eventually faints. Xun Na injures her hand from pressing so hard against
00:15:11a glass surface that it shatters. She rushes her mother home, makes sure she's okay, and then
00:15:16returns to Xinjia's house. Xinjia also returns and finds her sitting on the couch, visibly upset.
00:15:22Without any introduction, Xun Na asks him if he really loves her like he says he does.
00:15:27She tells him that if he truly loves her, he should convince Bai Xia not to marry his father.
00:15:32But then she says she's sure he won't do anything that would go against his own interests.
00:15:36Xinjia gently holds her hand and tells her that he would do anything for her,
00:15:40but he can't interfere in his father's marriage to Bai Xia.
00:15:43Later, Xinjia goes to his room and opens his father's journal, where his dad wrote about his
00:15:48partnership with Mingli. He recalls the day Mingli came to him for help when they were both drowning
00:15:53in debt. But instead of facing the consequences, Mingli managed to manipulate Xinjia's mother into
00:15:58marrying him and with her family's help, escape the crisis, leaving Xinjia's father to deal with
00:16:03the debt alone. Eventually, Xinjia's father took his own life. Xinjia snaps out of his memories,
00:16:09crying and torn, unsure whether to stop everything for Xun Na's sake or continue
00:16:13his path of revenge. Then Xinjia receives a message from his assistant telling him
00:16:18that Xun Na's uncle is launching a full financial investigation into the company.
00:16:22The next day, Xinjia goes to Xun Na and tells her he wants to make a deal.
00:16:26If he manages to postpone Bai Xia and his father's wedding, she has to agree to go on
00:16:31dates with him. Xun Na agrees, but on one condition, he must stop the wedding altogether.
00:16:36Xinjia leaves and Xun Na follows him, only to see him heading straight to Bai Xia's house
00:16:41and going inside. Inside, Xinjia tells Bai Xia that she needs to delay the wedding for a while
00:16:46because Xun Na's uncle has opened a financial investigation into the company. She needs to
00:16:51make sure Mingli will transfer the rest of the money for the beauty center and the villa into
00:16:55her name first. Then he warns her not to go near Xun Na's mother again or he won't be so polite
00:17:00next time. Bai Xia tells him she didn't know he cared so much about Xun Na's mother. Anything
00:17:05related to the girl he loves, of course he would defend. But he cuts her off and says she should
00:17:10forget all that. Either way, Mingli made sure to protect himself and she won't be able to get any
00:17:14money from him after marriage, so there's no harm in postponing the wedding. At that time, Xun Na is
00:17:20at the company with Mingli and she sees him taking a call from Bai Xia. Bai Xia starts an argument
00:17:25with him on purpose and tells him she doesn't want to marry him anymore and the wedding is off.
00:17:30Xun Na then goes to Xinjia and tells him she didn't know he had that much influence over Bai Xia.
00:17:35Xinjia tells her he's waiting for her that night for their date, just like they agreed.
00:17:39When Xun Na shows up later, she's completely drunk and finds Xinjia in the swimming pool.
00:17:44She asks him why he wants to marry her. Xinjia tells her it's because he loves her. But Xun Na
00:17:50calls him a liar. She saw him at Bai Xia's house with her own eyes. Xinjia explains that he only
00:17:55stayed there for five minutes and that Bai Xia is nothing more than an old friend. Nothing more,
00:18:00not then and not now. But while Xun Na is talking, she stumbles and falls into the pool.
00:18:05Xinjia quickly catches her and assures her she's safe in his arms. When he notices how nervous
00:18:10she is, he leans in to kiss her. She pulls away at first, but he leans in again. Eventually,
00:18:16he takes her to a hotel and with their emotions running high, they end up spending the night
00:18:21together. When Xun Na wakes up the next day and finds herself in Xinjia's room, she feels an
00:18:26overwhelming sense of anxiety, worried that she's about to lose the bet with him. She quickly gets
00:18:31dressed and goes to talk to him, telling him not to misunderstand the situation, it was just the
00:18:36alcohol, nothing more. Later that night, Xun Na goes out again, gets drunk, and while she's leaving,
00:18:41two young men approach her and start to harass her. At that moment, a guy named Qi shows up.
00:18:47He's the same person she went to high school with, and they were close friends back then.
00:18:51Qi rushes to help Xun Na, and she happily sits beside him, saying she missed him so much.
00:18:57At that moment, Xinjia arrives in his car and spots Xun Na with a guy. He quickly realizes
00:19:02it's Qi, remembering that they were friends in high school. Back then, Xun Na had used Qi to
00:19:07make Xinjia think she loved him, not Xinjia. Xinjia confronts Qi, telling him to stay away from Xun
00:19:13Na, but Qi replies that he already broke her heart, so he has no say in what Qi is doing now.
00:19:18Xinjia snaps out of his thoughts and calls Xun Na, but she doesn't answer. He waits for her,
00:19:23fuming, and when she finally returns, he asks where she's been. Xun Na responds that it's
00:19:28none of his business, but Xinjia reminds her that they were together yesterday and tonight,
00:19:33she's with another guy. Xun Na retorts that she was drunk yesterday, Qi Yi is her ex,
00:19:38and she can meet him whenever she wants. Xinjia insists that he knows they were just pretending,
00:19:43but only to provoke him. Xun Na tells him he doesn't know anything about them yet.
00:19:47The next day, Xinjia sees Qi Yi arrive at the company holding a bouquet of flowers.
00:19:52Xinjia's friend asks him if Qi Yi is really Xun Na's first love, but Xinjia insists that
00:19:57she was just using him to provoke him, and nothing more. The following day, Xinjia organizes a
00:20:02gathering with their high school friends, and as expected, Xun Na brings Qi Yi along. Xinjia,
00:20:08also expecting this, brings Baixia to the party. The atmosphere is tense, so they decide to play a
00:20:13card game where the losers have to drink. Xun Na and Xinjia are paired together. When Xinjia is
00:20:19about to place the card in his lips, Xun Na says she gives up. But before she drinks, Xinjia calls
00:20:24her a coward, so she gets closer, ready to kiss him. However, Xinjia blows the card away, as if
00:20:30ready to kiss her, but Xun Na pulls away, trying to hide her smile. After everyone leaves, Xun Na
00:20:36tells Xinjia she still wants to play. She challenges him to either tell the truth or drink.
00:20:41She asks if he faked his relationship with Baixia to get back at her for what she said. Xinjia asks
00:20:47why she can't forget it, but she doesn't answer, so Xinjia drinks, feeling like she won. Then,
00:20:52Xinjia asks if she did the same thing with Qi Yi. She lies, saying no. Xun Na soon loses
00:20:58consciousness, and Xinjia gets closer to her. She then confesses that she lied, it was always him,
00:21:04but she said Qi Yi's name on purpose. Xinjia, angry, covers her with his coat before leaving.
00:21:09However, we learn that Xun Na was actually awake the whole time. The next day is Xun Na's birthday.
00:21:15Her friend tells her that Ming Li is out of the country and that it's her chance to throw a party,
00:21:19but Xun Na responds that she has an important job and no time for it. Xun Na leaves the place and
00:21:24unexpectedly runs into Xinjia and Baixia dining at a restaurant. Baixia confesses her love for Xinjia,
00:21:31saying she has always loved him. However, Xinjia tells her he was wrong to get her involved in his
00:21:36plan because she doesn't fit into it. He says he'll transfer some money to her and that from
00:21:40now on, she's out of his plan. As Baixia gets closer, trying to kiss him, Xun Na sees the scene
00:21:46and walks away, heartbroken. In reality, Xinjia pushes Baixia away, drinks alone, and reflects
00:21:52on his plan. When he's completely drunk, Baixia returns and leads him to her bedroom. Xun Na calls
00:21:58him, but Baixia answers, telling her that Xinjia isn't available because he's asleep. Xun Na feels
00:22:04angry and jealous. The next day, when she sees Qi Yi at her birthday party, she pulls him into a
00:22:10kiss. Moments later, Xinjia returns home and finds Qi Yi in Xun Na's bed. Furious, he's about to
00:22:16destroy everything in the room, but Xun Na tells him it's none of his business who she brings home.
00:22:21Xinjia, heartbroken, storms out. However, Xun Na remembers that nothing actually happened between
00:22:27her and Qi Yi. He only helped her with her plan to get revenge on Xinjia. After the party,
00:22:32Xun Na finds Xinjia waiting for her. He tries to hide his anger as he tells her he knows it's just
00:22:37a scheme between her and Qi Yi, but Xun Na insists he's wrong. Xinjia asks about the relationship,
00:22:43and she tells him that they're in love and plan to marry. Xinjia loses his temper, reminding her
00:22:48they had an agreement, but Xun Na tells him he has no right to speak since he spent the night
00:22:53with Baixia. Xinjia remembers pushing Baixia away when he woke up, but Xun Na doesn't give him a
00:22:58chance to explain himself. The next day, Xun Na discovers that Ming Li is involved in shady
00:23:03dealings with a company owned by Qi Yi's brother. She quickly calls Xinjia, asking him to stop Ming
00:23:09Li before it's too late. Xinjia, who already knows everything, asks her to calm down, reassuring her
00:23:15that everything is under control. But then he hears someone hit Xun Na on the head. In a panic,
00:23:20Xinjia calls Qi Yi's brother, demanding to know where Xun Na is, threatening to expose his dirty
00:23:25work. The man sends him a location, where Xinjia finds Xun Na tied up on the seashore. He rushes to
00:23:31her rescue, telling her that he knows everything and suspects that Qi Yi might be involved with
00:23:36his brother. He warns her about him, but Xun Na insists that Qi Yi is innocent and couldn't be
00:23:41involved in such things. Xinjia tells her to let him know if anyone else approaches her.
00:23:46Xun Na, recalling how protective Xinjia has always been since they were kids,
00:23:50brings up a specific incident when she was kidnapped, and the kidnappers asked for a ransom.
00:23:55She says that since Xinjia saved her life back then, he's changed.
00:23:58Xun Na tells him that it's because of what she said about him at the theater. She apologizes,
00:24:03explaining that she didn't mean it and asks him to be honest with her about why he changed.
00:24:08She suggests that if he does, they could give their relationship a real chance,
00:24:12but Xinjia refuses to answer her. Later, Xun Na tells her best friend that she will keep pursuing
00:24:17Xinjia until he admits he likes her. She also shares with her friend Xinjia's secret. That night,
00:24:23when Xinjia returns home, he finds that Xun Na has set up a romantic dinner atmosphere.
00:24:28She gets closer to him, but when he's about to kiss her, she pulls away and goes to her room.
00:24:33The next day, Xinjia finds that Xun Na has prepared breakfast for him,
00:24:37which makes him happy. Xun Na continues to do these thoughtful things for him at the company,
00:24:41even feeding him with her hands in front of all the employees.
00:24:45That night, Xinjia sees her leaving the house with some food. Xun Na fears that Xinjia is
00:24:50meeting Baixia, but when she follows him, she sees him going to a hospital. There,
00:24:54she discovers that her mother has food poisoning. Xun Na is upset and blames her mother for not
00:24:59telling her she wasn't feeling well, but her mother explains that she didn't want to be a
00:25:03burden, which is why she called Xinjia for help. Xun Na thanks Xinjia for what he did
00:25:08and asks him to go home to get some rest, promising to stay with her mother.
00:25:12Later, Xinjia goes to a bar to drink, reflecting on the bet between him and Xun Na. He thinks it's
00:25:17silly, but he feels he still has to win it or he'll be forced to leave the company.
00:25:21He realizes that the only way to win her heart is by being honest with her.
00:25:25He sends her a message, asking her to meet him in the backyard the next day.
00:25:29When Xun Na arrives, Xinjia blindfolds her and leads her to a place filled with all her old toys.
00:25:35Xun Na is stunned and asks him how he managed to get them back. Xinjia explains that Mingli
00:25:40had thrown them away to make room for the adopted Xinjia, but he managed to recover some of them
00:25:44and the others he bought based on old pictures. Xun Na thanks Xinjia from the bottom of her
00:25:49heart. They sit together, and Xinjia decides to tell her the truth. He opens up about Mingle's
00:25:54past, revealing how his own father ended his life when he was just five, because of Mingli.
00:25:59His mother had escaped and never returned, and Mingli adopted him out of guilt.
00:26:04Xinjia shares that he wants to recover his father's money from Mingli,
00:26:07as well as her mother's money, and that her mother knows everything.
00:26:10Xun Na, shocked, asks him why he changed back in high school.
00:26:14Xinjia explains that Mingli told him he didn't like their relationship and insisted that they
00:26:18appear like siblings in front of everyone. He said if Xinjia didn't do that, he would never
00:26:23be able to see Xun Na again. He's forced to stay away from her, and Xun Na asks if that means
00:26:28something. He cuts her off, saying yes, he's always loved her and no one else. Then he asks
00:26:33if she likes him, but she gets nervous and can't respond. She goes back to her room feeling awkward
00:26:38and starts blaming herself for not confessing, even though it was the perfect opportunity.
00:26:43The next day, she tells her best friend everything, and the friend calls her a fool
00:26:47for not admitting her feelings. A few minutes later, Xun Na sees news about a hurricane
00:26:51hitting the city where their company is building a hotel, and Xinjia is actually there. She tries
00:26:56calling him, but he doesn't answer. Panicking, she drives to the city and starts searching for him.
00:27:02Eventually, she finds him among the volunteers helping the victims.
00:27:06Xun Na runs to Xinjia, crying, and tells him how worried she was. He then takes her to a hotel.
00:27:12When Xun Na goes to him in the morning, she finds him wearing only a towel, so she asks him to put
00:27:17on some clothes. Xinjia tells her to wait until he comes out so they can take a stroll around the
00:27:22city. While Xun Na waits, she finds a message on his laptop from a journalist, asking her to publish
00:27:27a story about the company's CEO, the hero who saves victims. Xun Na is shocked, and when Xinjia
00:27:33comes out, she asks him in disbelief if this is what he was doing, disappearing to appear as a
00:27:38hero while she was dying of worry for him. Xinjia grabs her before she leaves and swears that he
00:27:43did it to know if she truly loved him. Xun Na tells him that the bet he made was insane, and
00:27:48she leaves for the capital again. When Xinjia returns to the company, he finds that Xun Na
00:27:53refuses to speak to him at all because she's still angry. Therefore, she decides to go to an investor
00:27:59to fund her new project, as she doesn't want to deal with Xinjia. However, the man turns out to
00:28:04be perverted and puts a sleeping pill in her drink, lures her to a hotel room, and takes a
00:28:08video of her with him, which he later publishes. The company is affected by this, and Mingli tells
00:28:13her that Qiyi wants to marry her, and if she agrees to the engagement, he will return her
00:28:18mother's share of the property. Xun Na is forced to agree. Qiyi and Xun Na step out in front of
00:28:23the press to announce their engagement, and they say he was the one in the video with her. But
00:28:28Xinjia rushes to her, declaring that he's her boyfriend and that someone must have set her up
00:28:32in the hotel. They both enter the house, and Mingli is extremely upset because they were
00:28:37supposed to be siblings in front of everyone. However, Xun Na tells him that everyone knows
00:28:41he is adopted and shows him her ring, saying the matter is over. When Xun Na sits with Xinjia,
00:28:47she thanks him for helping her and asks if the bet between them is still on and that the
00:28:51engagement has nothing to do with it. Xinjia asks her to extend the engagement for another month,
00:28:56and she agrees. The next day, Xinjia goes to Xun Na and tells her that he got the footage from the
00:29:01hotel's security cameras and they were able to catch the criminal. Xun Na thanks him and prepares
00:29:06a meal for him. The next day, Xun Na is at her new hotel site and discovers that Xinjia has come
00:29:12as her fiancé. She asks him to help her with a beach cleanup activity, and the resort management
00:29:17awards them a prize for being the couple that collected the most trash. Xun Na gives the prize
00:29:21to Xinjia, which includes a free stay for couples. In the resort in the evening, Xinjia and Xun Na
00:29:27sit quietly by the beach, looking like a real married couple. The next day, Xinjia returns home
00:29:33to find Mingli telling him the same thing he had said before, that he can never marry Xun Na and
00:29:37that if he does, he will be kicked out of the family. However, Xinjia tells him that he doesn't
00:29:42intend to marry her at all, he was just protecting the family's reputation temporarily because he
00:29:47knows that Xun Na doesn't love Qiyi. The man believes him. On the other side, Xun Na starts
00:29:52expanding her cosmetics business, which needs celebrities to support it. Since this benefits
00:29:57the company, Mingli invests in it without any issues, which affects his funding for Baixia's
00:30:02beauty center project. He tells her that he needs to wait before taking any further steps,
00:30:06causing Baixia to lose her temper. When she returns home, her mother starts fighting with
00:30:11her as usual, calling her a failure who can't do anything or earn money. It's clear that Baixia has
00:30:17suffered from her mother's control since childhood, which led her to gambling and changing boyfriends
00:30:21frequently. When her mother finds out that Baixia couldn't continue with the project,
00:30:25she hits her, and we realize that Baixia had fallen in love with Xinjia in high school because
00:30:30he made her feel better. Even when she met him again, he saved her from a man she was dealing
00:30:34with who tried to hurt her. Baixia wakes up from her memories and calls Mingli, telling him that
00:30:39she's breaking up with him. Then, she goes drinking as usual and spends the night with a strange man.
00:30:45Meanwhile, Xun Na and Xinjia attend a high school reunion, where they see a student playing the
00:30:50cello. This reminds Xun Na of what she did to Xinjia when they were younger, and she writes
00:30:54on his hand that she's very sorry. Xinjia looks at her with love, while Qi, who is standing next
00:31:00to them, looks angry. The next day, Mingli goes to Baixia to reconcile and proposes marriage to
00:31:06her at the beauty center. Soon after, the young man Baixia spent the night with comes by, wanting
00:31:11to get to know her personally. Mingli thinks he's one of her admirers and kicks him out.
00:31:15After a few days, Baixia finds out that she's pregnant, and she's shocked because she had
00:31:20been taking precautions with Mingli. She thinks the child is the young man's and plans to get
00:31:24rid of it. But when Mingli finds out, he asks her not to do that, saying that he's been waiting to
00:31:29have a child for a long time and that the child will have a share of his wealth. Baixia then
00:31:34decides to keep the child, even though she knows it's not his. Later, the man goes to Xun Na and
00:31:39tells her that he's going to have a son, and he'll have a little brother. Xun Na responds with
00:31:43sarcasm, asking if the child will call him dad or grandpa. She goes home feeling sad, but Xinjia
00:31:49stays by her side, trying to comfort her as much as he can. The next morning, Xun Na discovers that
00:31:55Mingli has ordered Baixia and her mother to move into the house from now on. Xun Na protests and
00:32:00tries to hit Baixia's mother, but Baixia pushes her. When Mingli hears the noise, he sides with
00:32:05Baixia against Xun Na. What makes things worse is that Xun Na had seen Baixia's mother steal
00:32:11from the house several times. Whenever she would argue with her, Mingli would always side with
00:32:15Baixia's mother. But on one occasion, when Xun Na was arguing with Baixia's mother, Baixia pretended
00:32:21to have fallen down the stairs and screamed. Of course, everyone rushed to her. Mingli took Baixia
00:32:26to the hospital, apologized for what Xun Na had done, and told her that he had kicked Xun Na out
00:32:31of the house. Xun Na went to her mother's house, but it was far from her workplace. Xinjia went to
00:32:37Xun Na and told her that Baixia was fine and asked her to come stay with him at his place like before.
00:32:42Xun Na agreed and went to his house. Xinjia told her that he felt the child wasn't Mingles and
00:32:47suspected that Baixia had been unfaithful. After that, Xinjia went to Baixia and told her that he
00:32:52was sure the child wasn't Mingles. He threatened to expose her, but Baixia warned him not to
00:32:57threaten her, or she would go to Mingli and tell him about their plan. Xinjia told her he didn't
00:33:02care, but if Mingli found out the truth, he wouldn't show mercy, and she would be the one to lose.
00:33:07The next day, Xinjia received an important call and apologized to Xun Na, saying he had to cancel
00:33:13their meeting because something urgent came up. Xun Na decided to follow Xinjia and found that
00:33:17he had arrived at an elementary school, then left shortly after and headed to a run-down old house.
00:33:23Xinjia looked through the door and was shocked to see his mother singing to a small child.
00:33:27He remembered how his mother used to sing the same song to him and recalled that after his
00:33:31father ended his life, his mother had left him and asked him to accept adoption by Mingli because
00:33:36she had become weak and helpless, unable even to afford medical treatment. Xinjia was shocked,
00:33:41remembering that he had searched for her for years afterward but never found her.
00:33:45He approached her and tried to talk to her, but he realized she had gone mad.
00:33:49He carried her on his back, swearing to take revenge on Mingli, then took her to a special
00:33:53care facility. Meanwhile, Xun Na was watching, confused about what was going on. Afterward,
00:33:59she went to her mother and asked her about Xinjia's mother. Her mother told her that she
00:34:03had worked as a nanny for them when Xun Na was young. After her husband died, her condition
00:34:08worsened, and she left Xinjia so that Mingli could adopt him. Later, Xun Na heard that she
00:34:13had died when Mingli searched for her endlessly without finding her. Xun Na asked her mother
00:34:18about Xinjia's father and whether he truly ruined his life because of his partnership with Mingli.
00:34:23Her mother confirmed that it was the truth. After that, Xun Na went to Xinjia and asked him to tell
00:34:28her the truth. Why did he come to this care facility? Was his mother still alive? Xinjia
00:34:33replied that since she was here, she already knew the answer, and there was no need for him
00:34:37to explain more. Just then, one of the workers at the facility came and told Xinjia that his
00:34:43mother had escaped. Both Xinjia and Xun Na rushed to search for his mother, who was standing at
00:34:47Xinjia's old school, shouting his name. By chance, Mingli saw her and quickly put her in his car.
00:34:53Shortly after, Xinjia arrived at the scene, searching for his mother. But Mingli had already
00:34:59left. Xinjia returns to his mother's house, crying in sorrow because he has lost her again.
00:35:04After a short while, Xun Na arrives and tells him that she has contacted the police and provided a
00:35:09description of his mother. Soon after, Xinjia receives a call from the facility informing him
00:35:14that his mother has returned. When Xinjia asks the nurse for a description of the man who brought her
00:35:19back, he realizes that it was Mingli, and he doesn't understand why he did that. Then, we see
00:35:24a flashback to Mingli threatening Xinjia's mother the last time she came to talk to her son. He told
00:35:29her that since she had abandoned him by her own will, she should never come looking for him again.
00:35:34She was afraid of him, so she left. Afterward, Xun Na comes to take care of Xinjia's mother and
00:35:39tells him that she will always care for her. Xinjia asks her if this means they will be together
00:35:44forever. Xun Na laughs and tells him, of course. On the other side, Mingli wants to know how Xinjia
00:35:50found his mother, so he sends one of his men to Xinjia's house to search through his papers.
00:35:55When Xinjia returns home, he notices that someone has been in the house because the
00:35:59papers are not arranged properly. He immediately realizes that it was probably Mingli. He goes to
00:36:04Mingli and tells him that he found his mother some time ago, but unfortunately, she lost her memory
00:36:10and has gone mad, which is why he didn't want to tell anyone about her. Mingli pretends to just
00:36:15learn of this news. Xinjia asks him slyly if he knows what caused her condition. Mingli replies
00:36:20that he doesn't know but hopes for her quick recovery. Then, Mingli tells Xinjia that the head
00:36:25of their company's branch in East Asia has been promoted to the branch in Australia, leaving the
00:36:30East Asia branch vacant. He asks Xinjia to go to the branch there. Xinjia realizes that the man
00:36:35wants to remove him from the scene and tells him that he will go, even though Mingli still has
00:36:39doubts about him. After that, Xinjia goes to Xunna and tells her that he has to travel to East Asia
00:36:45for a while. Xunna is upset that he will be away from her for so long, but he tells her that Mingli
00:36:50is depending on him for work and he has to be trustworthy. When Xunna tells her close friend,
00:36:55her friend says that she's worried Xinjia might cheat on her or forget about her, especially since
00:36:59they don't have anything official between them. At the same time, Xinjia's friend tells him the
00:37:04same thing, that he can't guarantee that when he returns, Xunna won't be with someone else.
00:37:09That night, Xinjia and Xunna meet at a restaurant, and Xunna has decided to propose to him herself.
00:37:15She presents a small cupcake with a ring inside it, and Xinjia eats it. When Xunna receives a
00:37:20call and steps away to talk, she comes back to find that Xinjia has finished the entire cupcake.
00:37:25She screams at him, asking how he could do that, he says he didn't understand,
00:37:29and she asks if he didn't feel something stuck in his throat or something hard under his teeth.
00:37:34Xinjia is surprised and doesn't know what she's talking about. But they both hear the sound of a
00:37:39woman screaming with joy. They turn and see that the woman who was eating the cupcake with her
00:37:43boyfriend had found the ring. The guy had to pretend that he was actually proposing to her.
00:37:48Xunna realizes that their cupcakes got switched, and she's upset that her plan failed.
00:37:53When they leave the restaurant, Xunna asks him to wait for a moment, and she goes to a store to buy
00:37:58another ring to replace the one that was lost. When she returns, she finds that Xinjia is no
00:38:02longer in his spot, but she sees him nearby surrounded by a crowd, holding balloons and
00:38:07playing the cello. When she gets closer to him, he says he remembers that she once told him,
00:38:12back in high school, that she wished he would propose to her in front of an old church.
00:38:16He confesses his love for her, gets down on one knee, pulls out the ring, and asks her to marry
00:38:22him. Xunna is overjoyed and accepts. She then takes out her own ring and puts it on his finger,
00:38:27explaining what she had originally planned to do and how it had gone wrong.
00:38:31Xunjia laughs, and they both share a happy moment together, officially becoming a couple.
00:38:36After that, Xunjia does travel, staying there for a while, gathering evidence against Mingli.
00:38:41Later, he returns to Xunna and tells her that he didn't stay as long as he had promised.
00:38:46They both discover messages on their phones about an emergency meeting at the company's
00:38:50board of directors to remove Mingli from his position. They go there and find out
00:38:54that the papers Xunjia had gathered were presented to the board by Xunna's uncle,
00:38:58who wants Xunjia to take over as the new chairman. But Xunjia refuses in front of
00:39:03everyone and suggests that Xunna should be the chairwoman since she's the rightful heir.
00:39:07Even though Xunjia gathered the documents that prove the corruption and bribes Mingli had taken,
00:39:12he hasn't submitted them yet, and he's unsure how they ended up in the hands of Xunna's uncle.
00:39:17Mingli goes to confront Xunjia, suspecting that he was the one who got hold of the
00:39:21documents from his work at the company. However, Xunjia takes him to the hospital
00:39:25where his mother is and tells him that he read his father's memoirs and knows everything he did
00:39:29to them, and that his father died because of him. Mingli admits that he did indeed abandon his
00:39:34father when the company went bankrupt and relied on his father-in-law to get out of debt on his
00:39:38own, but he insists he had nothing to do with his death. Xunjia tells him that even if he wasn't
00:39:43responsible for his death, it's enough that he scared his mother away from him all these years.
00:39:48Xunjia asks him to go in front of his mother and apologize for what happened,
00:39:52and stay out of her life as well as Xunna's life. Mingli agrees to do this.
00:39:57Meanwhile, Xunjia is sitting with Qiyi, who tells her that Xunjia was very happy when
00:40:01Mingli was removed from his position. He found out that Xunjia called Baixia and told her the news.
00:40:07Qiyi also tells her that he suspects Xunjia was the one who planted Baixia close to Mingli
00:40:12in order to take everything in the company. But Xunjia, who now trusts Xunjia, refuses to
00:40:17believe that and tells Qiyi that Xunjia was the one who encouraged her to take the role of chairwoman
00:40:21of the company and that he is determined to get back what is hers and her mother's from Mingli.
00:40:26Xunna decides to ignore everything happening and goes to Xunjia.
00:40:29They start preparing for their wedding. At the same time, Mingli is watching Baixia,
00:40:34and he sees her go to the hospital where she meets the young man she spent the night with,
00:40:38who is actually the father of her child. She confesses the truth to him, and Mingli is
00:40:42shocked. He decides to do a DNA test and finds out that the child is not his. He then goes to
00:40:48her and threatens to make her sign for all the money she took from him at the beauty center as a
00:40:52debt, or he will imprison her and expose her. Under the pressure, Baixia feels unwell and goes
00:40:58to the hospital. The doctor tells her that she needs to give birth immediately. She gives birth,
00:41:03and the baby is taken to the premature infant unit. The doctor informs her that he will stay
00:41:08there for a while because of a heart condition. At this point, Baixia decides to call Mingli
00:41:13and tells him that she is willing to sign all the papers he wants and will leave his life,
00:41:17not take anything from him, in exchange for him paying for her son's medical expenses.
00:41:21Xinjia hears everything that's happening and feels guilty for bringing Baixia into Mingli's life,
00:41:26even though she was greedy and did this to herself. He goes to her afterward and tells
00:41:31her that he will pay her the money she needs. She refuses and says that she doesn't need his
00:41:35charity. She thanks him for paying for the hospital fees. Xinjia tells her that he didn't
00:41:40pay the hospital bills, but he will pay for her son's treatment, as they were always friends.
00:41:45He gives her the address of the institution under Xunna's family's company, telling her to
00:41:49take her son there for free treatment since the costs will be very high. After that, Baixia goes
00:41:54to look for a job to support herself and her daughter. When her boss starts to mistreat her,
00:41:59her daughter's father steps in to defend her. Baixia finds out that he was the one who paid
00:42:04the hospital bills. She thanks him but asks him to stop intervening, as he can't bear this
00:42:08responsibility because he is poor. He tells her that he loves her and won't abandon her or their
00:42:13daughter. Meanwhile, Xunna and Xinjia are getting ready for their wedding. Xunna tells him that
00:42:19she's about to become his wife, but if he's hiding anything from her, it's better for him to confess
00:42:24now or she'll leave him and never forgive him. Xinjia stands frozen, not knowing how to respond.
00:42:30On the wedding day, Mingli goes to her mother and tells her that he will take her to the wedding
00:42:34as an apology for his past behavior. However, there's something strange and mysterious about
00:42:39the situation. At that moment, Baixia goes to Xinjia's house and thanks him for everything he
00:42:44has done for her. She tells him that now is the time for her to repay him. She shows him a video
00:42:49she recorded when she went to get the divorce papers from Mingli. In the video, he is drunk and
00:42:54confesses the truth about what he did to Xinjia's father. He admits that he caused his death in
00:42:59order to get rid of him because Xinjia is actually his true son. They wanted to get rid of his mother's
00:43:04husband and when they found out that he died because of them, his mother collapsed and went
00:43:08crazy. Xinjia cries, unable to believe it, and after Baixia leaves, he sits on the floor in shock,
00:43:14realizing that Xunna is his sister. Xinjia calls Mingli, screaming at him for not telling him the
00:43:20truth earlier. Mingli tells him that he could never have told him, but he had been asking him
00:43:25to stay away from Xunna for a long time. We then find out that Xunna's mother is in the car with
00:43:30him and she's been kidnapped. When she hears what he says to his son, she breaks down and
00:43:34yells at him to let her go, grabbing the steering wheel. This leads to a car accident. Xunna gets a
00:43:40call saying that her parents are in critical condition in the ICU. She runs in her wedding
00:43:44dress, with Qiyi following her, and they go to the hospital. She cries there while Xinjia arrives,
00:43:50unsure of what to do or what to say to Xunna. He's shocked and speechless. When Xunna sees him,
00:43:56she goes to him and asks where he has been. She tells him that he was the last person to
00:44:00speak to Mingli before the accident and asks him what he said to him. Xinjia decides to take the
00:44:05blame and the pain on himself. He said that he told him that he don't want to marry his daughter
00:44:10anymore. Xunna screams at him and runs away. After a while, Mingli regains consciousness.
00:44:16Xinjia goes to him and asks him to tell him the whole truth. He admits that he had a relationship
00:44:20with Xinjia's mother when she worked for him. When he found out she was pregnant, he couldn't
00:44:25acknowledge the baby, so he asked his worker, Xinjia's father, to marry her and take responsibility
00:44:30for the child. However, Xinjia's father kept asking for money, and Mingli couldn't afford
00:44:36all the expenses. So, he told him to pretend that his house had burned down to get the insurance
00:44:40money. On the day of the fire, the worker fled with Xinjia and his mother but forgot something
00:44:47inside the house. When he went back to retrieve it, he got stuck in the fire and died. People
00:44:52thought he had ended his life because of the debts. Xinjia is shocked by everything he has
00:44:56learned. He swears to Mingli that he will make him pay dearly and asks him not to tell Xunna
00:45:01anything about what happened. Xinjia goes to the beach, breaking down and screaming because he lost
00:45:06the love of his life. He feels a pain that he never wanted Xunna to experience. He decides to
00:45:11hide the truth from her, that he's her brother, and goes to her house. He tells her that they had
00:45:16a bet, and she lost. He admits that he made her fall in love with him, but now he's leaving her.
00:45:21Xunna tells him she can't believe what's happening. He explains that he did this because
00:45:26his father died because of Mingli, and his mother went insane because of it. He also confesses that
00:45:31back in high school, he broke her heart to make her leave the country so he could get close to
00:45:35Mingli and take revenge. Now, he's achieved his revenge on both her and Mingli. Xunna breaks down,
00:45:41hits him, and tells him that he's a disgusting person with no mercy in his heart. But the one
00:45:46good thing he did was leave her the company and let her be the chairwoman of the board.
00:45:50She tells him that from tomorrow, she will marry Qiyi and she'll never adopt anyone because she
00:45:55doesn't want them to turn out as cruel as him. However, despite her anger, a part of her still
00:46:00has hope, and she begs him to prove to her that he's truly evil. She tells him that she feels like
00:46:05he really loves her. Xunjia decides to destroy all hope in her heart. He lifts her up, pretends
00:46:11to attack her, and allows her to push him away and kick him out. He leaves, and she realizes that
00:46:16he's truly a vile person. Xunna grabs their photos together, rips them up, and throws them at him as
00:46:22he sits on the ground, crying. She cries, too, completely heartbroken. The next morning, when
00:46:28Xunna wakes up, she finds herself locked in the house, with guards not allowing her to leave.
00:46:33Xunjia comes to her and tells her that he won't let her out until he finishes what he started.
00:46:38Xunna cries and tries to hurt herself with a shard of glass so that they'll take her to the hospital,
00:46:42but he stops her. She tells him she wants to be with her mother,
00:46:45but Xunjia says that when she wakes up, he'll tell her. Xunjia is scared for her,
00:46:50keeping her locked in the house because he thought her parents' accident was planned.
00:46:54He didn't know Mingli had kidnapped her mother. Xunna thinks of another way to escape. She eats
00:46:59ice in hopes of getting sick so Xunjia will take her to the hospital. But he's smarter than her
00:47:04and brings a doctor to the house. She decides to leave a message for her friend through the doctor.
00:47:09The message gets to her friend, but she doesn't know how to get Xunna out of Xunjia's house.
00:47:14Then, Xunna thinks of stopping eating to make herself sick, but Xunjia forces her to eat.
00:47:19After she gets tired, she decides to pretend she's drunk, so she gets close to Xunjia and
00:47:24tells him that she forgives him. But to her surprise, Xunjia pushes her away and leaves her.
00:47:29After a while, he starts feeling dizzy and realizes that she drugged him.
00:47:33He falls asleep, and when he wakes up, he discovers that Xunna managed to escape the house.
00:47:38He finds a flash drive she left for him, containing the hotel's surveillance footage
00:47:42from the day she was with Qi. Xunjia feels jealousy, but it also cuts deeper,
00:47:47making him feel more hurt. Eventually, Xunna is forced to go to the company and cooperate
00:47:52with Xunjia when they find out that the company is at risk of collapsing after Mingli's accident.
00:47:57At the company, the secretary asks Xunjia and Xunna to make a video to explain what happened,
00:48:02and to claim that their relationship is still strong so that the company's stock remains high.
00:48:07Although Xunjia feels uncomfortable and doesn't know how to handle the situation,
00:48:11he decides to listen to the secretary. Soon after,
00:48:14Xunna receives a call that her mother's surgery was successful, but she's still in a coma.
00:48:19Meanwhile, Xunjia goes to the company, and the secretary informs him that the accident was
00:48:24indeed planned. They found out because the driver was in contact with strange numbers
00:48:28before the incident. Meanwhile, Baixia is at a heart treatment center for her son,
00:48:33and by chance, she meets Xunna there. They sit together, and Baixia apologizes for everything
00:48:38she had done to her before. As a form of apology, she tells Xunna the truth,
00:48:43Xunjia stayed away from her because he discovered that he's her brother.
00:48:47Xunna is shocked but also relieved, feeling that Xunjia wasn't a betrayer after all.
00:48:51She then remembers a conversation she had with her mother a while ago,
00:48:55where her mother told her that she wasn't really Mingli's daughter.
00:48:58Her mother had been engaged to another man who died in an accident while she was pregnant.
00:49:02Her grandmother refused to let her be born without a father, so she saw her future husband
00:49:07who was poor at the time, and decided to marry him, giving him all the money he wanted.
00:49:12She convinced him to sign her daughter's name over to him.
00:49:15Xunna now realizes that she's not really Xunjia's sister.
00:49:18Later, Baixia's mother goes to visit Xunna's mother in the hospital to thank her for helping
00:49:23with the treatment costs for Baixia. There, she runs into Qiyi, who is also
00:49:28visiting Xunna's mother. Baixia's mother recognizes him and stops him,
00:49:32saying that she used to be friends with his father before he died in the fire.
00:49:35She asks him about his and his mother's well-being, and Qiyi is shocked,
00:49:39telling her she must be mistaken. But when Baixia's mother insists,
00:49:43Qiyi's face turns dark, and he takes her to a storage room, tying her up and threatening to
00:49:48kill Baixia and her daughter if she tells anyone the truth about his identity.
00:49:52Terrified, the woman agrees to keep quiet. Meanwhile, Mingli, drunk, arrives at the
00:49:57company and tells Xunjia that he saw Xunna today at the hospital, but she refused to
00:50:01speak to him and treated him with contempt. He believes this is because her mother,
00:50:05after waking up, told her that he's not her real father.
00:50:09Xunjia is stunned when he realizes that Xunna isn't his sister,
00:50:12and Mingli explains that he was doing this to get revenge on him.
00:50:15Xunjia grabs him in anger, ready to hit him, but he stops himself because, despite everything,
00:50:21the man is still his father. Xunjia heads to Xunna's house to confess everything,
00:50:26but when he arrives, he finds her with Qiyi, and she seems happy.
00:50:30Xunjia doesn't know what to say to her, unsure whether her mother told her the truth.
00:50:34Xunna is sitting with Qiyi when she receives a call from her close friend,
00:50:37who tells her that Xunjia is crying and devastated.
00:50:40He says he regrets leaving her but thought they were siblings.
00:50:44Xunna hangs up and tells Qiyi that she wants to leave to go to her mother in the hospital.
00:50:48Qiyi offers to drive her there, and during the ride, her car breaks down.
00:50:52Qiyi gets out to check it, and while he's outside,
00:50:55Xunna notices many messages coming through on his phone.
00:50:58She grabs it and opens it because he had previously told her the password.
00:51:02To her shock, she discovers that Qiyi was responsible for the accident involving her
00:51:06parents and that he also spread rumors about her breaking up with Xunjia after the incident
00:51:10to cause the company's stock to fall. She finds photos of herself secretly taken by him,
00:51:15realizing that someone had been watching her and sending the photos.
00:51:19Xunna stays silent until Qiyi drives her to the hospital.
00:51:22There, she is stunned to find surveillance devices in her mother's room.
00:51:26She starts searching for them and eventually removes all of them.
00:51:29Just then, Xunjia enters the room, hugs her, and tells her that he thought they were siblings,
00:51:34but he never stopped loving her and wants to be with her again.
00:51:38Before Xunna can speak, she notices something behind him, so she decides to stay silent.
00:51:43She tells Xunjia that she cannot forgive him because he lied to her.
00:51:47She reveals that she discovered that she really loves Qiyi and that she will not leave him.
00:51:51Xunjia asks for a second chance, but Xunna tells him to leave and not come back,
00:51:55because she will only marry Qiyi, as he has been honest with her.
00:51:59After Xunjia leaves, Xunna contacts her secretary and asks him to put guards on
00:52:03Xunjia's house because she's afraid for him due to Qiyi.
00:52:06The guards call her and inform her that someone broke into Xunjia's house.
00:52:10When she arrives there with the guards, they find that the gas was left on, and Xunjia was asleep.
00:52:15She quickly wakes him up after opening the windows and tells him what happened,
00:52:19advising him to be more careful, especially during this time.
00:52:22When Xunjia asks if she came to check on him or to get back together,
00:52:26Xunna replies that she only came to take some of her things from the house.
00:52:30She then leaves.
00:52:31The next day, Xunjia's assistant comes to him and tells him that he managed to trace Qiyi's real
00:52:36origins. He discovers that Qiyi is actually the son of the man who raised him.
00:52:40Xunjia goes to the company and pulls Xunna aside to tell her the truth.
00:52:44He explains that the man who raised Qiyi and worked for Mingli had a wife and a son,
00:52:49and they were the ones who escaped the fire, Qiyi and his mother,
00:52:52who later married someone else. Qiyi took on the family name of his adopted father.
00:52:57Xunna is shocked by all this new information. However, she tells Xunjia that she doesn't
00:53:01believe him, especially since Xunjia originally thought he was the son of that man,
00:53:06only to later find out that Qiyi was his real son.
00:53:08Xunjia tells her that it doesn't matter whether she believes him now without proof,
00:53:12but he asks her to be careful and stay away from Qiyi.
00:53:15Xunna decides to go along with her plan to marry Qiyi.
00:53:18She visits his house, where they drink and talk until Qiyi gets drunk.
00:53:22She asks him if he has any childhood pictures, and he shows her the same picture that Xunjia
00:53:27had shown her earlier. Then, Qiyi proposes to her with a wedding ring, and she agrees.
00:53:32When Xunjia finds out, he is furious and confronts her. He warns her about Qiyi,
00:53:37revealing that he was the one responsible for the accident that killed her parents.
00:53:41Xunna dismisses his concerns, telling him that it's none of his business and that
00:53:45marrying Qiyi will help her take control of Mingle's company and resolve all her problems.
00:53:49Xunjia is shocked by her decision.
00:53:52Xunna starts making arrangements for her wedding to Qiyi, but she feels deeply sad,
00:53:56especially when she recalls the memories of preparing for her wedding to Xunjia.
00:54:00Meanwhile, Xunjia goes to Qiyi and demands that he stay away from Xunna.
00:54:05The two men fight, but Xunna arrives just in time to intervene, protecting Qiyi.
00:54:10She tells Xunjia that their relationship is over and that Qiyi is now her fiancé
00:54:14and will soon be her husband.
00:54:16She removes the necklace Xunjia gave her long ago and throws it at him.
00:54:20Xunjia is heartbroken and realizes that there's no chance left for them to reconcile.
00:54:25Xunna returns home and cries with her friend,
00:54:27telling her that she's trying to protect Xunjia from the dangerous Qiyi,
00:54:30but she doesn't know how to handle it.
00:54:32Then, she receives a call from her secretary,
00:54:35informing her that Xunjia has lost his composure and is suspected of harming himself.
00:54:40Xunna panics and decides to search for him.
00:54:42She finds him running in the rain, and she rushes to hug him.
00:54:45She tells him that she's only trying to protect him from Qiyi.
00:54:49Xunjia returns the necklace to her, showing that he still cares.
00:54:52Meanwhile, Baixia is in the hospital, crying over her daughter's death.
00:54:56Her husband arrives and comforts her,
00:54:58revealing that the girl was never his biological daughter.
00:55:02He had claimed her as his daughter to stay with Baixia and care for her.
00:55:05Baixia later has a DNA test done and learns the truth,
00:55:09her daughter was actually the biological daughter of Mingli.
00:55:12She goes to confront him, presenting the test results
00:55:14and accusing him of being responsible for the girl's death because of his cruelty.
00:55:19Mingli denies forging the tests, and Baixia, confused,
00:55:23goes to her mother, who is now in prison due to her criminal activities.
00:55:26Her mother tells her that she met him before,
00:55:28and he's the real son of the man who died in the fire, and he's avenging Mingli,
00:55:32that's why he didn't want him to have a son who could inherit his wealth,
00:55:35so he's likely the one who faked the DNA test.
00:55:38Baixia, shocked and lost, runs into Xunna by chance.
00:55:42The two women talk, and they decide to team up to take down Qiyi.
00:55:46Xunna organizes a party and invites everyone.
00:55:49At the same time, Baixia approaches Qiyi,
00:55:51telling him that her daughter has passed away and that she wants revenge on Mingli.
00:55:55She also reveals that she knows Qiyi will marry Xunna and take control of the company,
00:56:00and she asks him to cooperate with her to eliminate Mingli.
00:56:03Qiyi believes her and agrees.
00:56:05Later, Xunna secretly continues her relationship with Xunjia,
00:56:08but Qiyi discovers the affair when he goes to Xunjia's house
00:56:12and sees the umbrella he gave to Xunna.
00:56:14He calls her and demands that they meet at their old high school.
00:56:17There, they reminisce about their past,
00:56:19and Xunna takes him to the hospital to see her mother.
00:56:22Seeing the state of her mother softens Qiyi, and he begins to rethink his actions.
00:56:27However, he is still consumed by his desire for revenge against Mingli,
00:56:31who he blames for his father's death.
00:56:33Now, he is determined to take revenge on Xunna as well, for betraying him.
00:56:37Qiyi begins to put his plan into motion
00:56:39by smuggling suspicious goods into the company shipments.
00:56:42He reports it to the police and then goes to confront Mingli,
00:56:45revealing his true identity as the son of the man who worked for their family.
00:56:49Qiyi tells him that he saw him during the fire
00:56:51and knows he intentionally set the house on fire.
00:56:54Mingli denies it, claiming that he was just trying to give Qiyi's father money,
00:56:58but that it was Qiyi's father who set the fire to claim the insurance money.
00:57:01However, Qiyi doesn't believe this version of events
00:57:04and warns Mingli that it's too late now.
00:57:06He tells him that he's already reported everything to the police
00:57:09and gives him an ultimatum.
00:57:11Either he confesses to allowing the suspicious goods into the company shipments,
00:57:15or he sacrifices Xunjia's life and lets him go to prison.
00:57:18Mingli tries to swear that he didn't set the fire, but Qiyi remains unconvinced.
00:57:23Meanwhile, Mingli returns home, consumed by regret for everything he has done,
00:57:28realizing that his greed for money is the reason behind everything.
00:57:31He decides that he won't sacrifice his son anymore
00:57:34and chooses to turn himself in to save Xunjia.
00:57:36At the same time, the company is in a dire state due to the rumors about illegal goods,
00:57:41and as the company collapses, Qiyi decides to buy most of the shares.
00:57:45However, all the employees, including Xunjia and Xunna, resign.
00:57:50Xunna tells Qiyi that she knows everything and leaves him, abandoning the company.
00:57:54Xunjia continues to watch Qiyi closely,
00:57:57determined to gather enough evidence to prove that
00:57:59Qiyi was behind the illegal goods smuggling and to get Mingli out of prison.
00:58:03However, Qiyi catches wind of this and kidnaps Baixia,
00:58:06taking her to an old ship by the shore.
00:58:08Xunjia finds out and rushes to rescue her,
00:58:11threatening Qiyi by telling him that his father didn't die because of Mingli.
00:58:15Instead, he was after the insurance money and couldn't escape the fire when he said it.
00:58:19Despite Xunjia's explanation,
00:58:21Qiyi refuses to believe him and insists that he's certain of what happened.
00:58:25Xunjia decides to call Qiyi's mother, who confesses the truth.
00:58:29She explains that Qiyi's father wanted insurance money and set the house on fire
00:58:33but accidentally left behind important documents and was trapped inside.
00:58:37She also clears Mingli of any involvement in the fire.
00:58:40Qiyi is devastated by this revelation,
00:58:43and in a moment of anguish, he almost falls off the ship.
00:58:46However, Xunna grabs him, and for the first time,
00:58:49Qiyi feels deep regret for everything he has done,
00:58:52especially for hurting the only woman he ever loved.
00:58:55He decides to let go of her in order to punish himself.
00:58:58Xunna screams, and in the nick of time, Xunjia pulls her into his arms.
00:59:03Xunna watches Qiyi die right in front of her,
00:59:06and she feels the weight of all the troubles caused by Mingli's greed.
00:59:09Xunjia comforts her, but she remains silent.
00:59:12She is later taken to the hospital,
00:59:14where doctors diagnose her with a severe nervous breakdown.
00:59:17Xunjia stays by her side until she recovers, and they return home together.
00:59:22Xunjia is overjoyed that they've reconciled.
00:59:24Xunjia and Xunna visit the site where Qiyi died,
00:59:28feeling sorrowful for him because, in the end, he was also a victim of Mingli's actions.
00:59:32After Qiyi's death, there is no evidence left to prove that he was behind the illegal shipments,
00:59:37and as a result, Mingli remains in prison.
00:59:40In the final scenes, Xunjia proposes to Xunna once more, giving her an engagement ring.
00:59:45They get married at the same church where he had previously proposed to her.
