00:00At the beginning, we see Yen talking to her friend Lu,
00:03telling her that she finally wants to propose to her boyfriend, Jiang,
00:06because she's tired of their relationship leading nowhere.
00:09However, Lu scolds her for never mentioning Jiang before and advises her to wait,
00:14insisting that a woman shouldn't be the one to propose.
00:16In the next scene, Jiang is on a phone call with his friend Lin,
00:20who is on a blind date arranged by his mother despite his objections.
00:23Jiang tells Lin that he's fed up with his girlfriend and plans to break up with her today
00:27because she takes their relationship too seriously, whereas he does not.
00:31After ending the call, Jiang heads home,
00:33only to find Yen there, having decorated the place for him.
00:36Both are shocked to see each other.
00:38When Yen steps into the bathroom,
00:40Jiang quickly texts Lin, explaining the situation and asking him to come and save him.
00:45Lin, in turn, apologizes to his blind date,
00:48telling her that he already has a girlfriend.
00:50Outraged, she throws water in his face and storms off.
00:54Back in the bathroom,
00:55Yen calls Lu and confesses that Jiang didn't seem happy to see her,
00:58making her think she acted too hastily.
01:00Lu encourages her to stay confident and reassures her that she's near Jiang's house,
01:05ready to wait for her if she wants to leave.
01:07A little later, Lin arrives, much to Yen's surprise.
01:10He pretends to be drunk and completely ruins the romantic setup.
01:14Furious, Yen yells at him, demanding to know what he's doing.
01:18Lin jokingly claims he's a dentist and offers her a discount if she visits his clinic.
01:23At that moment, Jiang tells Yen that Lin seems too drunk, so he needs to take him home.
01:27When Yen protests, Lin suddenly shouts at her and storms out.
01:31At that moment, Yen feels utterly heartbroken and regrets what she has done.
01:36She finally realizes that Jiang is nothing more than a scoundrel.
01:39The next day, Yen tries every possible way to contact Jiang but fails.
01:44She decides to go to the restaurant where he works,
01:46but as soon as he spots her, he quickly hides.
01:49His colleague, Qi, tells her that Jiang isn't there.
01:52However, Yen doesn't give up and eventually finds him hiding.
01:55She scolds him for what he did, leaving her without even officially breaking up.
02:00Finally, they end things for good.
02:02Yen steps outside and sits alone, overwhelmed with sadness.
02:06Qi approaches her with some sweets to comfort her, and they had become friends ever since.
02:11Later, Yen drowns her sorrow in drinks while Lin is consumed by guilt over what he did to her.
02:16The next morning, Yen wakes up to find that her landlord has evicted her before her lease was even up.
02:21She calls Lu for help, but Lu tells her that her parents have just returned from their trip and are staying at her place.
02:27While searching for a place to stay, Yen comes across an ad from someone looking for a roommate.
02:32However, when she arrives at the address, she is shocked to find that the person renting out the room is Lin.
02:37Both of them are equally surprised.
02:39Yen immediately decides not to stay and leaves for a cheap motel instead.
02:43However, once she gets there, she realizes that the place feels completely unsafe.
02:48Fearing for her safety, she rushes out.
02:51Meanwhile, Lin starts to worry about her, knowing that she mentioned staying at a cheap motel, which he suspects is in a dangerous area.
02:58Concerned, he heads there right away and finds that she has already fled.
03:02Lin takes Yen to his house and tells her that he's actually the owner, not a tenant, and that he's willing to rent it to her on her terms.
03:09However, Yen hesitates, saying that the house looks too luxurious and that she doesn't have much money since she hasn't received her salary yet.
03:16Lin reassures her that she can pay the rent once she finds a stable job.
03:20He then explains that his mother was the one who put the house up for rent because she wants him to find a girlfriend.
03:25She hopes that among the women who come to rent the place, he'll eventually meet someone.
03:29By staying there, Yen would be doing him a favor, protecting him from his mother's matchmaking attempts.
03:35He tells her to consider this arrangement as his way of apologizing for what he did to her.
03:39After some thought, Yen agrees to stay.
03:42The next day, Yen is caught off guard when Lin's mother suddenly shows up at the house.
03:46Panicking, Lin quickly hides Yen before greeting his mother.
03:50After chatting with her for a bit, she prepares to leave.
03:53Lin then goes to retrieve Yen from the closet where she was hiding.
03:56However, just as she's about to step out, she stumbles and Lin catches her, right at the moment his mother re-enters the room and sees them in that position.
04:04Thinking quickly, Lin lies to his mother, saying that Yen is his girlfriend and has recently moved in with him.
04:10He claims he didn't tell her earlier because he didn't want her to pressure them into marriage.
04:15His mother then turns to Yen, asking a few questions about her family before finally leaving.
04:20Afterward, Lin asks Yen to keep up the act and pretend to be his girlfriend for a while, just to get his mother off his back.
04:26He warns her that if his mother finds out the truth, she'll kick Yen out of the house.
04:30Left with no other choice, Yen reluctantly agrees.
04:34The next day, Lin receives an invitation from his aunt to a charity event, and she asks him to bring his girlfriend.
04:40Lin tells Yen that he knows she has a writing project at work about a European chef, and that a well-known European chef will be at the event,
04:47giving her the perfect opportunity to gather information for her project.
04:50Excited by the chance, Yen agrees to go.
04:53Lin then takes her to his aunt's boutique to pick out a dress for the event.
04:57After a long search, he finally chooses a beautiful dress for her, but when Yen sees the price, she refuses to take it.
05:04However, his aunt insists that it's a gift from the boutique, just for her.
05:08At the event, Lin leaves Yen on her own while she searches for the chef.
05:12Instead, she unexpectedly runs into Qi, and they chat for a while.
05:16When they spot Jiang arriving at the event, Qi quickly helps Yen hide.
05:20A little later, Lin returns and takes Yen away from Qi so she can sit next to him during the charity auction.
05:26Coincidentally, Jiang is seated nearby, accompanied by a woman named Tan, who ends up purchasing a bao that was up for auction.
05:33After the auction, Tan approaches Lin, and we learn that she is his ex-girlfriend.
05:38She gives him the bao as a gift, telling him that she knows he has wanted it for a long time.
05:42Lin accepts it and thanks her before introducing her to his… girlfriend, Yen.
05:47He then tells Tan that he'll be teaching Yen archery, just as she had always wanted.
05:51Yen extends her hand to shake Tan's, but Lin suddenly pulls her away and tells Tan that they will be inviting her to their wedding.
05:58Without giving her a chance to respond, he quickly leaves with Yen.
06:01As they walk away, they run into Jiang.
06:04Seizing the opportunity to give Yen some closure, Lin tells Jiang that he is now dating her, making it clear that she has moved on.
06:11Shortly after, Yen receives a call from her family, informing her that Lin's mother is currently at their restaurant.
06:17Panicked, she rushes there with Lin.
06:19Upon arriving, Yen is met with a scolding from her father, who reprimands her for lying about her boyfriend being a chef.
06:26However, Lin quickly steps in to save the situation, claiming that he had actually hidden the fact that he's a dentist.
06:32He says he told Yen he was a chef because he didn't want her to be intimidated by his real profession.
06:37Though this explanation smooths things over, Yen's father remains upset, as he has just learned that she moved in with Lin.
06:43He tells her that he would have preferred to hear such news directly from her.
06:47The next day, Yen receives a call from a client requesting to meet her at a restaurant, which turns out to be the same one where Jiang works.
06:54Worried about running into him, she calls Qi to ask if Jiang is there, and Qi assures her that he isn't.
06:59Feeling relieved, Yen goes to meet the client, and once their meeting is over, Qi asks her to stay a little longer.
07:05He offers her a taste of his latest dish, but Yen, feeling pressed for time, apologizes and quickly leaves.
07:12When she returns to Lin's house, she is surprised to find his grandmother there.
07:16She invites the elderly woman inside and keeps her company while waiting for Lin to arrive.
07:21As they talk, Lin's grandmother asks Yen about her relationship with him.
07:25At some point, she takes a drink from a bottle she has with her. Moments later, she loses consciousness.
07:31Just then, Lin arrives with Tan, who had been working with him.
07:34He quickly realizes that his grandmother has consumed alcohol and immediately rushes her to the hospital.
07:40After ensuring his grandmother is safe, Lin furiously scolds Yen, accusing her of giving his grandmother alcohol.
07:47Yen swears that the bottle was with his grandmother from the beginning, but Lin refuses to listen.
07:52He coldly tells her to leave, saying he doesn't want to see her right now.
07:55As Yen walks away, Lin's mother tells him that she doesn't think Yen is the right woman for him.
08:00However, Lin defends Yen before leaving without another word.
08:04At this moment, Yen is deeply hurt and refuses to return to Lin's house.
08:08Instead, she goes back to her family's home.
08:11Her mother, noticing her sudden return, tries to find out what happened, but Yen refuses to talk about it.
08:17However, her mother quickly realizes that it must be because of Lin.
08:21Unlike Yen's father, she does not oppose their relationship and encourages her to make up with her boyfriend and return to his house, as it is closer to her workplace.
08:29The next day, Lin's grandmother wakes up to find Lin and Tan by her side.
08:34She explains that the bottle was hers and that she had mistakenly thought it was water, not alcohol.
08:39Realizing that Yen was innocent all along, Lin immediately regrets his actions.
08:44Soon after, the doctor arrives to inform them that the grandmother is fine.
08:48However, before leaving, he asks to speak with Lin privately.
08:51The doctor, who happens to be Tan's father, questions Lin about his relationship with his daughter, wondering if they plan to get back together.
08:59But Lin firmly tells him that he and Tan are just friends and that he is now with someone else.
09:03Later, Lin returns home exhausted from staying up all night, wanting to relax.
09:08He heads straight for a hot shower.
09:10However, once inside, he discovers that the bathroom door is broken from the inside, trapping him.
09:15As the steam fills the room and exhaustion takes its toll, he begins to feel dizzy.
09:20At that moment, Yen talks to her father and apologizes for what she did.
09:24Her father tells her that he doesn't oppose her relationship with Lin, but he is concerned that she never told him anything about living with him.
09:31He asks her to take care of herself.
09:33Afterward, Yen goes to Lin's workplace, but he isn't there.
09:37She then heads to Jiang and Qi's restaurant, but neither of them is there either.
09:41Instead, she finds Tan and asks her about Lin, but Tan says she doesn't know where he is.
09:46Worried, Yen returns to Lin's house and starts searching for him.
09:50She even asks the house's AI assistant for his location, but it has no information.
09:55Just then, she hears a noise coming from the bathroom.
09:58Rushing to the door, she finds it jammed.
10:00Without hesitation, she breaks the handle and manages to get inside, where she sees Lin struggling.
10:06She helps him to his bed, but before she can leave, he grabs her hand and asks her to stay beside him.
10:11At that moment, Tan enters the house, revealing that she knows the passcode.
10:15Yen feels a surge of anger.
10:17She had previously asked Lin for the password, but he had refused to give it to her.
10:21Tan interrupts her thoughts, insisting that they need to take Lin to the hospital immediately.
10:26Lin stays at the hospital alongside his grandmother, who laughs at him but then curiously asks how he ended up locked in the bathroom despite living with Yen.
10:34Lin explains that he had been busy recently, so Yen had been staying at her parents' house.
10:39A short while later, Lin's mother arrives to check on him.
10:42Relieved that he is fine, she sincerely thanks Yen for saving him.
10:46Meanwhile, Tan's father takes her outside and advises her to move on, telling her that Lin no longer loves her.
10:52However, Tan reassures him not to worry about her.
10:55Feeling down, Tan leaves and heads to Zhang's restaurant, where she runs into Qi.
11:00It's then revealed that Qi is her childhood friend.
11:03Sensing her sadness, he brings her some sweets to cheer her up.
11:06Teasing her, he jokes that he's now taller than her.
11:09Laughing, Tan replies that she's still a few years older than him.
11:13Back at the hospital, Lin's grandmother is discharged, but Lin needs to stay a little longer.
11:18His mother then invites Lin and Yen to dinner at their home once he recovers, showing that she has started to accept Yen.
11:24However, this makes Yen uneasy.
11:26She asks Lin to set a time for when they will officially break up before things get even more complicated between their families.
11:32The next day, Yen is at the mall with Lu when she spots Lin's father with a younger woman.
11:37Shocked, she freezes in place, especially when she notices Lin's mother exiting another store with her friend, seemingly unaware of her husband's presence.
11:46Hoping that Lin's mother doesn't see him, Yen watches anxiously.
11:50Lu, noticing Yen's sudden pause, asks her why she stopped, but Yen remains silent, unwilling to reveal anything about Lin.
11:57Meanwhile, Lin is with Jiang, asking him to tell him more about Yen and how they met.
12:02However, their conversation is cut short when Lin receives a call from his mother.
12:06She informs him that their relatives have come over and are asking to meet Yen, who has already arrived at their house.
12:12Alarmed, Lin quickly leaves Jiang and rushes home.
12:15At Lin's house, the relatives speak to Yen in an arrogant manner.
12:18When they learn that she works as an illustrator for a publishing house, they mock her job.
12:23Their condescension worsens when they find out that her parents run a small restaurant specializing in traditional cuisine, ridiculing her once again.
12:31Finally, Lin arrives and immediately defends Yen, sarcastically pointing out how strange it is that their relatives came to visit her yet didn't bring any gifts, despite not visiting their home in a long time.
12:42A few moments later, Lin's mother enters, carrying a basket of fruit.
12:46One of the relatives complains that she made them wait so long, only to return with just fruit.
12:51Yen, unable to hold back any longer, finally speaks up.
12:55If you don't like it, maybe you should get up and cook something yourself since you can't even thank her for her effort.
13:00Her words anger the relatives, and Lin, sensing that the situation is escalating, takes Yen by the hand and leads her out of the house.
13:08The next day, Lin's mother talks to her friend about Yen, saying that she is bold to the point of being rude.
13:13She admits that Yen embarrassed their guests and worries that she doesn't fit in with their family at all.
13:18Her friend advises her to try bringing Lin and Tan back together.
13:22Convinced by the idea, Lin's mother decides to invite Tan and her father over for dinner.
13:27However, when Lin's aunt hears about this, she immediately goes to him and warns him about his mother's plan.
13:33She tells him that his mother intends to bring Tan and her father over for dinner in an attempt to rekindle their relationship.
13:39Lin, unfazed, reassures his aunt not to worry.
13:42In the next scene, we see Liu sitting in Zhang's restaurant, completely unaware that he is the same scoundrel who once dated Yen.
13:49A flashback reveals that Zhang met Liu at a bar on the same night he left Yen.
13:53He approached her, struck up a conversation, and they began to get to know each other.
13:58The next day, Yen goes to meet Qi after he asks her to taste the latest dishes he has prepared.
14:03While there, Qi accidentally misspeaks and tells him that she is single.
14:07When she tries to correct herself, Qi doesn't believe her, forcing her to reveal the whole truth about her relationship with Lin.
14:13When Yen returns home, she finds Lin telling her that his mother is trying to rekindle his relationship with Tan.
14:19She tells him that this is a good thing since it means they can separate without any issues.
14:24However, Lin informs her that if that happens, she will have to leave the house.
14:28At that moment, Yen realizes that she doesn't want that now.
14:31The two are then forced to go on a stage date and take pictures to post on social media, portraying themselves as a happy couple.
14:38Later, Lin goes to dinner with Tan and her father, while Lin's aunt takes Yen to secretly observe the meeting.
14:44However, Yen is exhausted due to her period.
14:47When they arrive at the restaurant, Yen gets up to fetch some warm water but stumbles.
14:51Lin and his mother see her, and Lin immediately goes to her, taking her to his table.
14:56A little while later, Qi arrives to serve the food.
14:59When Tan's father sees him, he remembers that Qi was his daughter's childhood friend and invites him to join them.
15:05Shortly after, Yen starts feeling extremely unwell, so Lin decides to take her home.
15:10As his mother follows them, she notices a stain on Yan's pants and discreetly covers it with her coat.
15:16She then tells Yan that, unlike her, she is bold and able to stand up for herself, whereas she prefers to stay silent to avoid causing more family conflicts.
15:24Because of this, she believes she isn't the right fit for their family.
15:28However, she now understands why Lin fell in love with Yan, because she is different from them.
15:33Later, Lin takes Yan to the car and feels a pang of jealousy when he finds out that Qi left her some sweets.
15:39He then tells her that Qi has been Jiang's friend for a long time, that he is kind to everyone, and that he gives all his newly invented desserts to people.
15:47Meanwhile, Jiang and Qi get into an argument after Jiang accuses him of taking ingredients from the restaurant without permission, causing a shortage.
15:55Qi insists that, while he has been experimenting with new recipes, he hasn't taken anything from the restaurant's supplies.
16:02When Jiang demands to check the security cameras, Qi refuses, saying he doesn't want anyone invading his privacy and that he plans to resign anyway.
16:10In the end, Qi follows through and quits his job.
16:13Qi goes to Tan's house and tells her that he is currently unemployed.
16:16He asks if he can stay with her until he finds a job and can afford to pay rent.
16:20Tan agrees to let him stay.
16:22When Yan finds out that Qi lost his job, she feels guilty and apologizes, thinking it was her fault for encouraging him to make more desserts for her.
16:30However, he reassures her that he was planning to resign anyway, as working at that restaurant wasn't right for him.
16:36He then gives her some new desserts he has made.
16:38Later, Yan returns home and asks Lin to buy a new coat similar to his mother's since she washed it and accidentally ruined it.
16:45As a bribe, she gives him Qi's desserts.
16:48Lin asks if she met Qi, and she admits she did, even inviting him to have a meal with them.
16:53Lin gets angry and asks what would happen if Qi found out they aren't actually dating.
16:57Yan calmly tells him that Qi already knows.
17:00Lin loses his temper, saying that Qi is Tan's friend and could tell her the truth.
17:04Yan responds indifferently, saying she doesn't care.
17:07They can tell Tan the truth as well.
17:09This only makes Lin even angrier, and he storms off, leaving her behind.
17:13Qi then invites Tan to dinner with Lin and Yan, telling her that he will try to distance Yan from Lin so she can have a chance to get back together with him.
17:21The next day, Lin visits his mother to give her the coat, telling her that he took it to the dry cleaners himself.
17:26While there, he coincidentally runs into Qi and Tan and decides to bring them home with him.
17:31Qi starts preparing the food with Yan, saying that he will teach her how to cook.
17:35However, Lin, feeling jealous, joins them in the kitchen as well.
17:39Tan quickly notices that both Qi and Lin are competing for Yan's attention.
17:43During dinner, Qi keeps serving Yan more food, making Lin even more jealous.
17:48When the evening comes to an end, Tan hugs Yan and tells her that it's obvious she and Lin are just pretending to be together.
17:54Wanting to prove her wrong, Yan suddenly moves toward Qi and kisses him in front of everyone, leaving all three of them in shock.
18:01Yan returns to her room, locking herself inside as she thinks about her kiss with Lin.
18:06The next day, she goes shopping and unexpectedly runs into Qi.
18:10She immediately scolds him for telling Tan their secret, but Qi swears he didn't say anything.
18:15She must have figured it out on her own.
18:17When he asks Yan if she has feelings for Lin, she denies it, insisting that she only kissed him to keep up the act.
18:23Qi seems disappointed, and Yan notices his change in mood.
18:27When she asks why, Qi tells her he's just worried about her because Lin is a scoundrel.
18:32Back home, Yan sees Lin and calls him a scoundrel to his face.
18:36Lin, bewildered, reminds her that she was the one who kissed him.
18:39How does that make him the bad guy?
18:41But Yan insists that she now knows the truth about him.
18:44Confused, Lin asks what she means.
18:46Yan then accuses him of dating Tan for five years only to leave her without warning.
18:51Lin denies it and demands to know where she heard that, but Yan refuses to tell him that it was Qi.
18:56Lin decides to tell Yan the truth.
18:58When he was dating Tan, she was a workaholic who never paid attention to him.
19:02One day, he went to her office to pick her up and found her boss harassing her.
19:06Enraged, he punched the man, but instead of thanking him, Tan scolded him,
19:11saying that her boss did this all the time and that she tolerated it because she was afraid of losing her job.
19:16Now, thanks to Lin, she had lost it.
19:19That was the moment Lin decided to break up with her.
19:21After hearing this, Yan realizes she misjudged him and apologizes.
19:25Meanwhile, Lin's aunt, mother, and grandmother are together when his aunt tells his grandmother about Yan kissing Lin.
19:32She predicts that this will bring them closer, and the women all agree.
19:36While they had suspected the relationship wasn't real before, the kiss convinced them otherwise.
19:40The next day, Yan tells Qi that she has taken a break from work and wants to stay at her parents' house for a while.
19:46Qi offers to drive her there, along with Lin's aunt.
19:49When they arrive, Yan's father invites Qi for a drink, but he declines.
19:53However, Lin's aunt eagerly accepts and ends up getting drunk.
19:57Lin is the one who takes her home.
19:59The following day, Jiang visits Lin and hands him a book about paintings,
20:03explaining that he has a date with his new girlfriend, Lu.
20:06He wants to impress her but hasn't been able to memorize the information from the book.
20:11Later, when Jiang takes Lu to the exhibition, he secretly calls Lin, who feeds him details about the paintings.
20:17Lu is deeply impressed.
20:19At the same time, Qi visits Yan and gives her a ticket to the same exhibition, saying he is busy and she can have it.
20:25Yan decides to go and unexpectedly finds Lin there.
20:28She stays with him, making it impossible for him to continue helping Jiang.
20:32Jiang, now on his own, reaches a particular painting but freezes before speaking about it.
20:38To his shock, Lu's expression changes, and she suddenly leaves.
20:42Jiang follows her, apologizing and admitting that he was getting help from Lin because he just wanted to impress her.
20:48But Lu tells him that's not what upset her at all.
20:50Inside the gallery, Yan and Lin reach the same painting.
20:54Yan recognizes it and tells Lin that it belongs to their old university friend.
20:58However, this friend succeeded through deceit,
21:01while Lu, who truly deserved recognition, was left behind and eventually gave up on painting altogether.
21:07As Lu and Jiang re-enter the gallery, Jiang spots Lin with Yan.
21:11As he's afraid that Yan see he now has a new girlfriend, he quickly grabs Lu and kisses her.
21:16Lin drives Yan to her parents' house, but when they arrive, he notices Qi working in their family restaurant,
21:22preparing food while being filmed by cameras.
21:25Qi tries to get very close to Yan, to the point where everyone assumes they are dating, which makes Lin jealous.
21:31The next day, one of the photographers asks Qi to get even closer to Yan for the shoot.
21:36However, at that moment, Lin steps in and declares that Yan is his girlfriend, clarifying that she and Qi are just friends.
21:43Shortly after, Yan's parents get into an argument.
21:46Yan decides to take her mother away for some air, while Qi takes her father elsewhere to calm him down.
21:52During this time, Qi stays with Yan's younger brother and asks him about his parents.
21:56The boy explains that they always fight and that Yan used to take him to the park whenever they argued.
22:01Before he was born, she would go to the park alone because they often left her home by herself after a fight.
22:06Later, Yan's mother asks her to take her younger brother to Lin's house so he can focus on studying for his exams without being distracted by their family issues.
22:15However, Yan refuses, saying she doesn't want to bother Lin.
22:18Though the truth is, she feels she has no right to impose since she's only renting a room in his house.
22:23But when Yan returns home, she finds that Lin has already taken her brother in.
22:28Not only that, but he has prepared food for him and even given him his own room, which has a desk, so he can study properly.
22:34With Lin's room occupied, he is forced to stay in Yan's room for the night.
22:38After a brief argument over who should sleep on the bed, they agree to share it, placing a pillow between them as a barrier.
22:44The next day, Jiang visits Lin, feeling down.
22:48He tells him that ever since he kissed Lu at the exhibition, she has been avoiding him and won't answer his calls.
22:54Later, when Lin and Yan return home from work, they find her younger brother quietly studying in the room.
22:59However, after a while, they discover that he was actually playing on the computer the whole time.
23:04Yan gets angry at him, but when the boy calls Lin his brother-in-law, Lin is touched and decides to forgive him.
23:10Determined to make him focus, Yan takes her brother to study at the public library.
23:15She and Lin sit beside him, watching him as he studies.
23:19After a while, Yan's friend arrives, and she steps away to talk to her.
23:23When she takes too long, Lin starts to worry and goes to check on her.
23:27When they return, they discover that Yan's brother has abandoned his studies and started playing on his phone.
23:32They sit with him again, making sure he studies properly.
23:35Over the following days, both Yan and Lin take turns supervising the boy, ensuring he focuses on his studies.
23:42Through this shared responsibility, they grow even closer.
23:46On the day of the exam, Yan personally takes her younger brother to school.
23:50While waiting outside for him, it starts to rain, and she realizes she doesn't have an umbrella.
23:55Suddenly, she finds Lin standing behind her, holding an umbrella over both of them.
24:00He tells her he'll wait with her.
24:02When her brother comes out, the parents of other students mistakenly assume that Lin and Yan are a married couple and that her brother is their son.
24:09They even comment on how young they look to have a child that age.
24:12Both Lin and Yan are annoyed, not because they were mistaken for a couple, but because the parents made them sound older than they actually are.
24:19Yan takes her brother to her parents' restaurant, where Qi presents her with a new meat dish he invented.
24:24Yan is amazed by the recipe, which makes Lin jealous.
24:28Seeing this, her younger brother turns to Lin and says,
24:31If you can cook something like this for my sister, she'll love you even more.
24:35Lin gets flustered and immediately asks Qi to sell him the recipe.
24:39However, Qi tells him that he can only teach him how to make it.
24:42Reluctantly, Lin agrees to learn.
24:44After Qi leaves, Yan scolds her brother for what he said, but he simply tells her that he feels Lin genuinely loves her.
24:51Meanwhile, he doesn't sense any romantic feelings from Qi toward her.
24:55This reveals that Yan's brother has known the truth about her relationship with Lin all along.
25:00At that moment, an interview with Lin gets released, in which he announces that Yan is his fiancée.
25:05Lin's family sees the interview, and for the first time, they feel that Yan and Lin truly belong together.
25:11His mother then makes a bold decision, she announces their wedding.
25:15The next day, Jiang visits Lin, feeling extremely frustrated.
25:19He tells him that an entire month has passed, yet Lu still refuses to speak to him after what happened at the exhibition.
25:25Lin advises him to move on and find another girl, reminding him that he's never been serious about any of his past relationships anyway.
25:32Shortly after, Lin receives a call from his mother, asking him to arrange a meeting with Yan's family.
25:38When he returns home, he prepares the same meat dish Qi had made before but tells Yan that he modified it slightly.
25:44She loves it.
25:45Then, Lin informs her that their mothers are planning to meet and that it's clear they intend to finalize the wedding date.
25:50Yan panics and insists they must cancel it somehow.
25:53She comes up with a plan, she'll send her mother to Lin the next day, and he must convince her that she's too sick to leave the house.
26:00The following day, Yan's mother visits Lin, telling him that she has had mouth ulcers for a long time
26:05and that Yan suggested she come to him for treatment before the wedding.
26:08Lin tries to persuade her to stay home and rest, but she insists that meeting Lin's mother is more important, even if it means delaying her treatment.
26:16The meeting between the two families takes place, but instead of slowing things down, both mothers get into a debate about the wedding date.
26:23Their discussion escalates until they settle on a date that is far too soon.
26:27Things spiral even further when they decide to immediately go and look for a wedding venue.
26:32Meanwhile, Yan and Lin sit together in complete shock, unable to say a single word.
26:37At the same time, Tan goes to Qi in tears after seeing the video of Lin and Yan.
26:42She tells him that their wedding date has been set and thanks him for trying to get close to Yan in an attempt to keep her away from Lin so that he could return to her.
26:49However, she admits that their plan was a complete failure and that she will never be able to win Lin back.
26:54She then drinks excessively until she is completely drunk.
26:57The next day, Yan receives a call from Lin's aunt, who tells her that she needs to see her for something important.
27:03When they meet, Lin's aunt takes her to a furniture store and begins selecting household items with her.
27:08She drags Yan from store to store, leaving her completely exhausted.
27:12Feeling overwhelmed, Yan calls Lin and demands that he come to pick her up immediately.
27:17When Lin arrives, he finds Yan in a bridal boutique, where his aunt has forced her to try on a wedding dress.
27:23Seeing her in the dress, Lin is left completely mesmerized.
27:26However, Yan snaps at him, telling him to stop staring at her like an idiot and to start thinking of a way for them to break up before they actually end up getting married.
27:35Lin sighs and tells her that he has no ideas, but if she has one, he won't object.
27:39However, all of Yan's plans turn out to be terrible.
27:42A little later, Lin's mother calls and invites Yan over for dinner.
27:46When she arrives at their house, she unexpectedly overhears Lin's father on the phone with his mistress.
27:52He doesn't realize that Yan has heard everything.
27:54During dinner, Lin's father starts showering his wife with compliments, telling everyone how much he loves her.
28:00However, everyone at the table knows he is lying and cheating, yet no one dares to say a word.
28:05But Yan couldn't bear it any longer, so she excused herself to leave.
28:09When Lin followed her, she told him she had a secret to share – his father was cheating on his mother.
28:15However, she was shocked when Lin calmly admitted that he already knew.
28:19Confused, Yan asked why he hadn't done anything about it, but he simply told her to stay out of his family's affairs because it was none of her business.
28:26Angered by his indifference, Yan accused him of being cold-hearted and declared that this was the perfect opportunity for them to break up before the wedding.
28:34Unbeknownst to her, Lin's grandmother had overheard her final words.
28:38The elderly woman then asked Yan to reconsider before ending things with her grandson, as she had grown fond of them as a couple.
28:45Yan hesitated but eventually told her she would think about it.
28:48Later, Yan returned to her parents' home, where they asked if she had argued with Lin.
28:53She denied it, prompting them to suggest that she go back to his house.
28:57However, Yan refused. Instead, she called Lu, who offered to book a hotel room for them to stay in that night.
29:03By sheer coincidence, they ended up reserving the same room where Yan had once attempted to propose to Jiang.
29:09At that moment, Lin's father asked to speak with him.
29:12He told Lin that he couldn't marry Yan because she was nothing like their family.
29:16He insisted that Tan was the right person for him and that he could easily marry her while keeping Yan as his mistress in secret.
29:23Lin looked at his father with disgust and told him that he was nothing like him and could never be a cheater.
29:28The next morning, Yan and Lu woke up and went for a walk on the beach.
29:32Later, they headed to a restaurant for a meal.
29:35By chance, Qi appeared and greeted Yan before moving to another table.
29:39A short while later, Tan arrived and sat with him.
29:42Yan felt uneasy, while Lu, confused, wondered what connection Yan even had to Qi and Tan in the first place.
29:48Moments later, Lin arrived at the restaurant, grabbed Yan by the hand, and let her out, leaving Lu standing there in bewilderment, not even knowing who Lin was.
29:57Back at the hotel room, Lin confessed to Yan that his father was a cheater and that he had known about it for a long time.
30:02That was why he had always hated getting into relationships.
30:06When he met Tan, he thought there was hope. She was kind and sweet.
30:09But over time, he realized she cared about nothing but her work, and he lost hope in being with her.
30:15Before Lin could confess that meeting Yan had made him fall in love for the first time,
30:19she interrupted him, sarcastically remarking that now that Tan had left her job, his hope had been restored.
30:25Before Lin could explain, a knock came at the door. It was Tan.
30:29Yan immediately decided to hide.
30:31Lin tried to stop her, but she was determined and slipped into the room just as Tan entered.
30:36Tan entered the room and immediately asked Lin if someone was there with him.
30:40Lin openly admitted that his girlfriend, Yan, was in the room.
30:43However, Tan, still trying to convince herself that Lin and Yan's relationship was fake,
30:48insisted that he was lying and that no one else was there.
30:51In response, Lin simply opened the door and brought Yan out.
30:55I told you, my girlfriend is here, he said firmly.
30:58Before Tan could say anything Lin added, you can stay in the room, then took Yan's hand and left.
31:04Outside, Yan stopped and turned to Lin.
31:06She told him she was tired of lying to everyone around them.
31:09Their relationship had started with a lie, and there was no need to end it in a perfect way.
31:14They should just break up, without offering explanations to anyone,
31:18because she didn't want to be involved in his family matters any longer.
31:21Lin could see she was still upset about everything that had happened.
31:24Before he could confess his love to her, Yan cut him off,
31:27saying that she was no longer interested in renting a room in his house.
31:31She would pay him the money and leave.
31:33With that, she turned around and walked away.
31:35Lin stood there, shocked and heartbroken.
31:38But moments later, Yan came rushing back, yelling that there was a thief outside her hotel room.
31:43When Lin arrived with her, he took one look and calmly told her,
31:46it's impossible for him to be a thief, he's wearing sunglasses and holding a bottle of alcohol.
31:52He then added that the man was most likely Lu's boyfriend.
31:55Yan recalled that Lu had argued with her boyfriend earlier, making Lin's theory seem plausible.
32:00Without giving her a chance to protest, Lin insisted on taking Yan back to his room,
32:04determined to leave Lu alone to handle her own matters.
32:07As it turned out, the man was Jiang, who had come to reconcile with Lu.
32:11After numerous attempts to make amends, he ended up drinking too much and passing out.
32:16Meanwhile, Yan was still in Lin's room.
32:19Noticing that it was already midnight, she decided to return to her own room.
32:23However, Lin insisted that she send Lu a message first to check if she could go back.
32:28When Yan contacted Lu, her friend informed her that her boyfriend was already fast asleep in the room.
32:33Yan then decided to book another room for herself, but Lin refused,
32:37telling her that she wouldn't find any available rooms at that hour.
32:40Instead, he insisted that he would sleep on the floor and let her take the bed.
32:44As the night went on, Yan once again told Lin that she wanted to break up.
32:48She admitted that, above all, she felt guilty about Lu.
32:52Seeing Lin, Qi and Tan together the previous night had upset her,
32:56while Lu had been left completely in the dark about everything.
32:59Yan confessed that she didn't want to keep lying to her friend or hiding things from her anymore.
33:03She had been afraid to tell Lu the truth because she knew her friend would scold her.
33:07Lu always worried about her too much.
33:09The next morning, Yan woke up to find Qi in her room.
33:12Startled, she immediately asked what he was doing there.
33:15Qi explained that he had seen Lin leaving and decided to come in and invite her to breakfast.
33:20Then, with a guilty expression,
33:22he admitted that he had been trying to get close to her in order to push Lin back toward Tan.
33:26But now, he felt remorseful.
33:28Yan asked him if he loved Tan.
33:30Qi admitted that he did, but he had only been trying to help her be happy.
33:34However, since there was no longer any hope of her getting back together with Lin,
33:38he had decided to pursue her himself.
33:40As they talked, Lin and Tan arrived and sat at a table behind them.
33:44Curious, Yan moved closer to eavesdrop on their conversation.
33:48To her shock, she heard Tan desperately begging Lin to have a child with her because she wanted his genius genes.
33:54Stunned by Tan's words, Yan accidentally knocked over the teapot, spilling hot tea on herself.
33:59Lin immediately noticed her, rushed to her side, and quickly carried her to the hospital.
34:04Tan followed them and helped bandage Yan's burn.
34:07In that moment, she finally realized the truth.
34:09Lin no longer loved her.
34:11Accepting her loss, she chose to let go.
34:14Afterward, Lin carried Yan on his back and took her back to the hotel room where Lu was waiting.
34:19When Yan entered the room, she was completely shocked to see Jiang sleeping in the bed.
34:23She immediately asked him what he was doing there.
34:26Jiang casually responded that he was Lu's boyfriend.
34:29Still stunned, Yan asked where Lu was.
34:31Jiang told her that she had left when he woke up, but he had no idea where she had gone.
34:36However, Yan spotted Lu's phone in the room, which made her even more concerned.
34:40Determined, she announced that she was going to look for her.
34:43Yan searched for Lu and eventually found her working a part-time job at a zoo.
34:47Surprised, Yan told her that she had never known she had a job.
34:51She had always assumed Lu was wealthy, which was why she had given up on painting.
34:55Lu admitted the truth, she wasn't rich.
34:58In fact, she worked multiple part-time jobs to earn money.
35:01Then, she apologized to Yan and confessed that she had distanced herself after discovering that Jiang was Yan's ex-boyfriend.
35:08But Yan reassured her that she didn't care about that at all.
35:11After all, Jiang had never taken their relationship seriously in the first place.
35:15Curious, Yan then asked why Lu had stopped painting.
35:18Lu shook her head and said she hadn't stopped.
35:21She took Yan to her home, which was filled with paintings.
35:24She explained that when she felt like life was unfair,
35:27she decided to stop chasing her dream of becoming a famous artist, nothing more.
35:31Later, when Yan returned home, she found her brother there.
35:35He told her he would be staying with them for a while because he had more exams coming up.
35:39Later, while Lin was preparing dinner, Yan's younger brother whispered to her that Lin had been the one who asked him to stay with them during his exams.
35:46That way, Lin could spend more time with Yan and have a chance to grow closer to her.
35:50As Yan sat down for dinner, she was completely shocked to discover that her brother's so-called
35:55exam was actually a dance test.
35:58Furious, she scolded them, saying that she had been forced to spend the night with Lin last time because of this nonsense.
36:04She then declared that her brother and Lin would have to stay together in the same room.
36:08However, the bed in Lin's room was too small for both of them.
36:11Left with no choice, they ended up sleeping in the training hall instead.
36:15The next morning, Lin asked Yan's brother how he could get closer to her.
36:19The boy advised him that the first step was to make her jealous.
36:22He suggested that Lin pretend to have a muscle strain and asked the female instructor for help.
36:27Lin followed the plan perfectly.
36:29When Yan arrived, he pretended to fall and claimed to have a muscle strain, requesting assistance from the instructor.
36:35As expected, Yan became jealous and rushed over to help Lin herself.
36:39She outright declared that Lin was her husband and that her brother was their son.
36:43Then, without giving anyone a chance to react, she grabbed them both and stormed out in anger.
36:48On the way back, her brother tried to smooth things over between her and Lin.
36:52In an attempt to bring them closer, he suddenly pushed Lin toward her.
36:56But instead of helping, this only made Yan angrier.
36:59Frustrated, she told them she was leaving because she had a business dinner to attend.
37:03However, when she checked the details, she was surprised to learn that the dinner was actually being held at her parents' restaurant.
37:09Deciding to go with Lin and her brother, Yan headed there.
37:13Lin stepped in to help Yan's parents with cooking.
37:15While assisting her mother, he cautiously asked if she was planning to start her medical treatment soon.
37:20Her mother sighed and admitted that, with the wedding approaching, she had decided to postpone the treatment until after the wedding was over.
37:27A little while later, Qi arrived at the restaurant alongside Yan's manager.
37:31The manager introduced Qi as the food critic they would be interviewing.
37:35After greeting everyone, Qi stepped inside and approached Lin,
37:39apologizing for his previous attempts to get close to Yan in order to make room for Lin and Tan.
37:44Lin, however, assured him that he wasn't angry because he had understood his intentions from the start.
37:49Despite that, he couldn't deny that he had felt jealous every time Qi tried to get closer to Yan.
37:54Qi then admitted that from now on, he would be focusing on pursuing Tan instead.
37:59Lin encouraged him, telling him to go for it.
38:02Shortly after, Tan also arrived at the restaurant.
38:05While there, she noticed Yan's manager harassing one of their female colleagues.
38:09The sight instantly triggered painful memories of her own past experiences, filling her with rage.
38:15Without hesitation, Tan stormed over to the man and began berating him in front of everyone.
38:20However, the young woman, fearing for her job, denied that anything had happened.
38:25Tan, remembering how powerless she had once felt in similar situations, refused to back down.
38:30Her anger boiled over, and in front of everyone, she struck the man without caring about his position.
38:36Then, she reassured the woman, telling her not to worry about anything.
38:41The next day, when Yan arrived at work the next day, she immediately sensed that her colleague wasn't doing well.
38:46Before she could ask what was wrong, another co-worker approached them with surprising news.
38:51There had been a sudden change in management, and their editor-in-chief had been replaced.
38:55Moments later, Yan and her colleague stepped into the office.
38:58Only to be completely shocked when they saw who was sitting in the editor's chair,
39:02Tan hands them the project files for their next collaboration with a foreign writer.
39:06At the same time, Lin sits with Jiang and Yan's younger brother, asking them how he can confess his love to her.
39:12Jiang recalls how Yan had prepared his hotel room romantically when she proposed to him and tells Lin to do exactly the same.
39:19Lin follows his advice and decorates the house accordingly, but Jiang later tells him the final result isn't great.
39:25However, it's too late to change anything.
39:27When the doorbell rings, Lin assumes it's Yan, only to find Tan instead, bringing Yan's phone, which she had forgotten at work.
39:34Just as Yan arrives, she sees Lin and Tan stepping out of the house together.
39:38After Tan leaves, Yan, clearly jealous, asks Lin what she was doing there.
39:43Lin, trying to tease her, says that Tan wanted to hug him.
39:46Even though it was just a farewell hug and he had refused, his words only irritate Yan more.
39:51When she steps inside and notices the decorations, she still feels upset that Tan saw them before she did.
39:57Lin stands in front of her and says,
40:00I knew you wouldn't like it either.
40:01Upon hearing the word either, Yan assumes he is talking about Tan's opinion, thinking she didn't like it either.
40:07In reality, Lin was referring to Jiang.
40:10But Yan becomes so upset that she leaves the house.
40:13Yan goes to her brother's dance studio and asks to borrow his English books because she wants to learn the language to communicate with the foreign writer.
40:20However, she finds it difficult to study at the studio, so she decides to return to Lin's house with her brother and study there instead.
40:27Each time Lin and her brother make noise, she asks them to be quiet so she can concentrate.
40:32Eventually, they decide to take her to the library so she can study in peace.
40:36The next day, Yan's mother goes to the hospital for a checkup as Lin had advised.
40:41The doctor informs her that she needs to start treatment immediately.
40:44Meanwhile, Lin talks to Tan and tells her that Yan's mother actually has oral cancer.
40:49Though it's not in an advanced stage, she must begin treatment as soon as possible.
40:54On the day of Yan's brother's dance test, he performs successfully.
40:58Afterward, Lin and Yan leave him with Jiang and head off to meet the foreign writer.
41:02However, Yan is shocked to discover that the writer is actually Korean and speaks Chinese, realizing that all her studying was in vain.
41:10Tan meets with Yan, Lin, and the foreign writer, informing them that the illustrator working with him will not be chosen randomly.
41:16Instead, there will be an exhibition for artists, and the writer will select the winning painting and collaborate with its creator.
41:23Tan encourages Yan to participate, and Yan, in turn, convinces Lu to join as well.
41:28Lu dedicates herself to intense practice in her studio, pushing her artistic limits.
41:33Meanwhile, she refuses to reach out to Jiang, determined to make him call her first.
41:38Later, Qi visits Tan with his medical reports after undergoing a full checkup.
41:43He hands them to her, assuring her that he is in good health and expressing his desire to be with her.
41:48Tan responds that she will accept him if he proposes to her in a way that impresses her.
41:53That evening, when Qi visits Tan, he finds the Korean writer there and immediately assumes he is a pervert.
41:59Enraged, he attempts to hit him, but Tan stops him, explaining that they are simply having a work meeting.
42:05Qi joins them, though he can't hide his jealousy.
42:08During the conversation, Tan tells the writer that Qi is her close friend.
42:12However, because of his limited Chinese, he misinterprets her words, thinking she meant that she only works with Qi.
42:18The following day, Tan and the writer visit an art exhibition together.
42:22Out of jealousy, Qi secretly follows them.
42:25At one point, the Korean writer expresses how happy he is to be on a date with her, but he actually means it as a business meeting.
42:32Hearing this, Qi quickly intervenes and tells him in Korean,
42:36This is a business meeting, not a date. No one can go on a date with her except me.
42:40Then, he grabs Tan and leaves with her.
42:43The next day, the exhibition takes place.
42:45The paintings are presented anonymously to the writer, and he selects Lu's piece as the winner.
42:50Overwhelmed with happiness, Lu can hardly believe it.
42:54Yen secures second place, while third place goes to an artist who is later revealed to be the same woman who had previously stolen Lu's painting and submitted it as her own.
43:03Because of this theft, she rose to fame, and her paintings now sell for millions, while Lu remains unknown.
43:09When the writer realizes that the famous artist lost the competition, he suggests adding her name to the contract, as if she were the chosen illustrator.
43:17In return, he would take Lu's painting, reasoning that her name would bring greater success to his book.
43:22Upon hearing this, both Yen and Lu firmly refuse.
43:26Lu then tells the writer that she admires his work and even quotes one of his books.
43:30In contrast, the famous artist, when asked, fails to recall anything about his work.
43:36Embarrassed, the writer apologizes to Lu and assures her that he will collaborate with her instead.
43:41Furious, the famous artist slaps her assistant for failing to secure her victory and orders her to spread a statement to the media, claiming that she intentionally lowered her artistic standard to let her colleague win instead.
43:53Yen sits with Lu and asks her why she refuses to meet Jiang.
43:57Lu confesses that, some time ago, Jiang's mother bought a painting from her, the very same painting that the famous artist later stole and sold for millions.
44:05Lu had unknowingly sold it to Jiang's mother for a mere fraction of its worth.
44:09Now, she fears that if Jiang's mother ever finds out, she will assume Lu is the thief, and she wants to avoid that misunderstanding.
44:16Meanwhile, Jiang is with his mother, who has forced him into a blind date with a girl.
44:21Hoping to escape the situation, he tells his mother that he is already dating someone and loves her.
44:26However, she remains unfazed, insisting that since he isn't married yet, he is still available.
44:32She then forces him to take the girl on a date to an amusement park, leaving him with no choice.
44:37Jiang calls Lin for help, asking him to come with Yen.
44:40When the four of them meet up, Qi and Tan, who had also been out together, run into them as well.
44:45Jiang looks at the girl and tells her,
44:47Look at Yen, she was my ex-girlfriend, and now she's dating my friend.
44:51And Tan, she was my friend's ex-girlfriend, and now she's with my other friend.
44:56We all have extremely complicated relationships, you won't fit in.
45:00But instead of being discouraged, the girl finds their tangled connections exciting and insists that she doesn't mind.
45:06Annoyed, Jiang reluctantly takes her inside to play some games.
45:10Determined to make her give up on him, he forces her onto multiple extreme rides, hoping she will back out.
45:16However, she refuses to quit.
45:18Finally, they all arrive at the haunted house.
45:21It turns out that the girl is terrified of the dark and refuses to go in.
45:25Seeing an opportunity, Jiang tells her,
45:27If you're not brave enough to enter the haunted house with me, then I can never date you.
45:32At last, the girl decides to leave.
45:34Qi then takes Tan, and they leave as well.
45:37Just as Jiang is about to go, he glances behind a tree and realizes that the girl is still secretly watching him.
45:43Smirking, he grabs Yen and Lin and leads them into the haunted house, despite their obvious fear.
45:48At that moment, Yen remembers that Lu works part-time at the haunted house.
45:53She quickly texts her, saying she wants to meet.
45:55Without hesitation, she leaves Lin and Jiang behind and goes to find Lu.
46:00Yen tells Lu that Jiang was with her before,
46:02but now she is certain that he is completely serious about her and that she should give him a chance.
46:06She then leaves to find Lin, who had also gone out at the same time to look for her.
46:11Jiang is left alone in the haunted house, feeling scared.
46:14Suddenly, he sees Lu in a terrifying costume with her hair covering her face.
46:19But as soon as she reaches him, he pulls her into an embrace,
46:22telling her that he knows it's her and that he isn't afraid of her.
46:25Lu asks if he knows what she does here, and he jokingly asks,
46:29are you the owner of this place?
46:31She then confesses that she isn't rich as she once made him believe
46:34and that she works part-time to make a living.
46:36Jiang calls her silly for staying away from him over something like this,
46:40saying that he had already seen her working before and knew she wasn't wealthy.
46:44It never mattered to him because he truly loves her.
46:47Before Lu can confess about the painting she sold to his mother,
46:50Jiang admits that he is still scared and wants to leave the haunted house.
46:53Lu helps him find the exit.
46:55Meanwhile, Lin sits with Yen, who opens up about her past.
46:59She tells him that when she was young,
47:01her parents would constantly fight and leave her alone at home,
47:04making her feel abandoned.
47:05Even now, she fears loneliness.
47:07She then asks Lin how he manages to live alone without being afraid of it.
47:11Lin explains that because of his parents' toxic relationship,
47:15he always preferred solitude to escape their problems.
47:18But every time he tried to isolate himself,
47:20she would appear and pull him out of his loneliness.
47:23He then shares a memory with her.
47:25The first time he ran away from home due to his parents,
47:27he found an injured girl on the road and helped her.
47:30When he broke up with Tan, he wandered the streets alone
47:33but found a sick girl under the rain,
47:35took her to the hospital, and helped her.
47:37Later, when he discovered his father was cheating on his mother
47:40and felt completely lost,
47:41that same girl knocked on his door,
47:43asking to rent a room in his house.
47:45Lin then reveals that she was that girl,
47:47the same girl he had encountered twice
47:49before meeting her again through Jiang.
47:51Because of this, he always felt guilty
47:53for everything that happened between them.
47:55Finally, Lin confesses that he loves her and can't live without her.
47:59Yen admits that she loves him too
48:01and decides to stay with him forever.
48:03At the same time,
48:04Qi successfully convinces Tan of his love,
48:07and they become a couple as well.
48:08Later, Yen realizes that the notes she and Lin wrote,
48:11the ones listing everything they liked
48:13so they could study them before meeting their families,
48:15are missing.
48:16Lin searches his car but can't find the papers.
48:19He fears that they might have ended up
48:21in the hands of his mother or aunt,
48:23exposing the fact that their relationship started as a fake one.
48:26However, the opposite happens.
48:28Lin's mother tells them that they can't delay the wedding any longer.
48:31Lin tries to explain that he has an important project coming up
48:35and that he will marry Yen as soon as it's done.
48:37But Yen feels uneasy because she isn't ready for marriage yet.
48:41Later, Lin's mother decides to give Yen the engagement ring
48:44that Lin's father had proposed to her with.
48:46When Yen refuses to accept it,
48:48Lin takes the ring and places it on her finger himself.
48:51Afterward, Lin, Yen, Jiang, and Lu meet at Jiang's restaurant.
48:55Suddenly, they hear a commotion coming from the kitchen.
48:58When they go to check,
48:59they find that the head chef has hit Qi for entering the kitchen.
49:03Jiang, furious, yells at the chef,
49:05declaring that Qi is his friend
49:07and that he was the one who asked him to prepare a special dish.
49:10The chef accuses Qi of stealing ingredients before,
49:13but Jiang defends him,
49:14revealing that even after Qi resigned,
49:16the thefts continued.
49:18He had reviewed the security footage
49:20and discovered that the real thief was the chef himself.
49:22Jiang then fires the chef on the spot
49:24and appoints Qi as the new head chef of the restaurant.
49:27Tan arrives at the restaurant looking for Yen
49:29but finds Qi injured.
49:31Qi immediately tends to his wound
49:33before taking Yen to an important meeting at the company.
49:36At the meeting, they encounter the harassing manager
49:39who protests when Tan informs him
49:41that she will be working on the new project with them.
49:43She quickly reminds him that her position is higher than his,
49:46meaning she doesn't take orders from him.
49:48Soon, Yen's colleague,
49:50the one the manager had harassed before,
49:52enters the room.
49:53Out of fear,
49:54she sits next to him and pretends that everything is fine.
49:57Seeing this,
49:58Tan and Yen exchange looks
50:00and silently agree to help her
50:01without waiting for her to ask for their support.
50:03Later, Yen receives a call from her mother
50:06telling her that Lin is drinking with her father.
50:08When she arrives,
50:09she finds her father heavily intoxicated
50:11and Lin completely drunk.
50:13Her mother suggests that Lin should stay the night.
50:15Lin, too drunk to think clearly,
50:17heads to Yen's room and falls asleep there.
50:20As Yen prepares to leave,
50:22he asks her to stay with him.
50:23She hesitates but eventually stays.
50:26The next morning,
50:27their parents walk in to find them sleeping next to each other.
50:30Yen's father is visibly upset
50:32but her mother calmly tells them that breakfast is ready.
50:35At this point,
50:36Lu meets with Jiang
50:37and tells him that she has decided to face his mother
50:39since she will have to meet her eventually.
50:41She then explains everything that happened
50:43with the famous painter who stole from her.
50:45Jiang believes her and reassures her
50:47that he has seen her artwork before
50:49and trusts in her talent.
50:50Jiang then asks Lin and Yen to come over
50:53and requests that Lu stay inside
50:55while he speaks to his mother first.
50:56However,
50:57as soon as they begin talking to Jiang's mother,
50:59Lu steps out and introduces herself as Jiang's girlfriend.
51:02Predictably,
51:03Jiang's mother immediately accuses her of being a thief
51:06and walks away without listening to anything else.
51:09Determined to change his mother's mind,
51:11Jiang follows her home.
51:12He cleans the entire house for her
51:14and then sits with her to explain Lu's story,
51:16revealing that the real thief was the other woman.
51:19Just as he is about to finish,
51:20the delivery person his mother had ordered food from arrives.
51:23To his surprise, it's Lu.
51:25She freezes in embarrassment,
51:27feeling humiliated that Jiang has now seen
51:30yet another job she works to make a living.
51:32Without saying a word,
51:33she quickly leaves.
51:35Later,
51:36when Jiang's mother steps outside
51:37and realizes that Lu was the delivery girl,
51:39Jiang tells her that Lu is a hard-working girl
51:42who takes on many jobs to support herself.
51:44He also tells her that Lu is not only talented
51:47but also beautiful.
51:48Slowly,
51:49his mother begins to reconsider her opinion about Lu.
51:52Meanwhile,
51:53Lu goes to Yen in tears,
51:55convinced that Jiang's mother will never accept her.
51:57At the same time,
51:58Jiang, Lin, and Qi meet up to figure out a way
52:01to prove that the famous artist is nothing but a fraud.
52:04Before they can act, however,
52:06the artist's assistant,
52:07whom Lu had slapped before,
52:09goes public on social media,
52:10revealing that the so-called famous artist
52:12has been stealing Lu's paintings all along.
52:15She also confesses that the artist
52:17is even stealing from her now
52:19as she was the one painting everything.
52:21Tired of working under a thief,
52:23she finally exposes the truth.
52:25When Jiang's mother learns about this scandal,
52:27she goes to Lu at her workplace.
52:29She tells her to quit all her part-time jobs
52:31and offers her a position
52:33as the manager of Jiang's restaurant.
52:35Finally,
52:36she accepts Lu as her son's girlfriend.
52:38At the same time,
52:39Lin's mother calls both him and Yen to come over.
52:42When they arrive,
52:43she confronts them for lying to her.
52:45She reveals that she found their notes
52:47and that Lin's aunt had originally hidden them
52:49so she wouldn't see them.
52:50Lin admits that their relationship started as a lie
52:52but insists that they genuinely fell in love.
52:55However,
52:56his mother refuses to accept a relationship
52:58that began with deception.
53:00In response,
53:01Yen takes out the diamond ring and apologizes.
53:03She tells Lin's mother,
53:05I know you don't like me,
53:06but you didn't have to test me with a fake ring.
53:08Lin's mother is shocked.
53:10She had no idea that the diamond ring
53:12Lin's father had given her
53:13was fake from the very beginning.
53:15When Yen leaves Lin's house,
53:16she tells him that their relationship
53:18is too difficult
53:19as long as their families disapprove of it.
53:21She then walks away,
53:22leaving him standing there.
53:24Just as she leaves,
53:25Lin's mother calls out to him.
53:27Yen returns home,
53:28feeling heartbroken.
53:29Her mother notices her sadness
53:31and asks what's wrong.
53:32Yen tells her that she and Lin
53:34have broken up before
53:35shutting herself in her room.
53:36However,
53:37she soon receives a call from her co-worker
53:39who is crying.
53:40Alarmed,
53:41Yen rushes over with Tan
53:43only to find the girl completely devastated.
53:45Through her tears,
53:46the girl reveals that she had been
53:48pretending to go along with the harassing boss,
53:50convincing him that she wouldn't report him
53:52just so she could secretly record him.
53:54Since he always managed to delete
53:56the surveillance footage,
53:57this was the only way to gather evidence.
53:59But today,
54:00she finally succeeded in filming him.
54:02Now,
54:03she asks for their help in reporting him.
54:05Yen and Tan stand by her side
54:07as they officially report him to the police.
54:09The next day,
54:10Lin takes his mother to the hospital
54:12for a checkup
54:13as she hasn't been feeling well.
54:14While there,
54:15he finally confesses that he truly loves Yen
54:18and doesn't want to lose her.
54:19His mother sighs and tells him that he's an idiot.
54:22If you had just told me from the beginning
54:24that she was your tenant,
54:25I would have tried to bring you two together.
54:27I only wanted you to date someone,
54:29anyone.
54:30At that moment,
54:31they run into Yen's mother.
54:32She looks at Lin and asks him,
54:34Do you still love my daughter?
54:36Without hesitation,
54:37Lin responds,
54:38I love her very much
54:39and I'm going to win her back.
54:41Meanwhile,
54:42Yen's parents argue again.
54:43This time,
54:44her father decides to take a break
54:46from managing the restaurant
54:47and hands the responsibility over to Yen.
54:49He also tells her
54:50that he will hire a young man to help her.
54:52However,
54:53the new worker turns out to be inexperienced,
54:55leaving Yen to handle most of the workload herself.
54:58She even has to start delivering orders personally.
55:01At the same time,
55:02Jiang meets with Lu's family
55:04and officially proposes to her.
55:05Tan takes Yen's co-worker to a therapist,
55:08hoping to help her recover
55:09from the repeated harassment she endured.
55:11Lin's aunt,
55:12mother,
55:13and grandfather decide
55:14to take a trip together
55:15to relax
55:16and clear their minds.
55:17The next day,
55:18the young man working with Yen notices
55:20that she is in severe pain
55:21due to her toothache.
55:22He tells her
55:23that he knows a good dentist
55:24and gives Yen the number of a clinic.
55:26Yen is shocked to realize
55:27that it is the same clinic Lin works at,
55:29but since there are other dentists there,
55:31she decides to go at a time
55:33when Lin won't be around.
55:34However,
55:35when she arrives,
55:36she finds Lin standing right in front of her.
55:38He tells her
55:39that no one else will treat her except him.
55:41He takes her to the treatment room
55:43and when she nervously asks
55:44if it will hurt,
55:45he reassures her
55:46that it won't.
55:47But once the procedure is over,
55:48Yen angrily scolds him
55:50because the pain was unbearable.
55:52Lin tells her to go home and rest,
55:54but she insists
55:55on delivering in order first.
55:56Lin follows her from a distance,
55:58keeping an eye on her.
55:59However,
56:00she suddenly develops a fever
56:02and collapses.
56:03Without hesitation,
56:04he carries her home
56:05and takes care of her.
56:06The next morning,
56:07Yen wakes up
56:08and remembers
56:09that Lin stayed by her side.
56:10She worries
56:11that she might have said
56:12something embarrassing
56:13in her feverish state,
56:14but Lin assures her
56:15that nothing happened.
56:16Later,
56:17she visits the clinic
56:18for a follow-up
56:19on her tooth.
56:20While she's there,
56:21an argument breaks out
56:22between a patient
56:23and a security guard.
56:24Lin intervenes,
56:25but the man
56:26ends up hitting him,
56:27injuring his hand.
56:28Yen immediately
56:29rushes him
56:30to the hospital.
56:31After examining him,
56:32the doctor delivers
56:33alarming news.
56:34Lin's injury
56:35is serious
56:36and requires surgery.
56:37There's a possibility
56:38that he may never
56:39fully regain the function
56:40of his hand,
56:41which is crucial for him
56:42as a dentist.
56:43Lin is deeply worried,
56:44but Yen reassures him,
56:45telling him
56:46that she won't
56:47leave his side now
56:48or after the surgery.
56:49She makes him promise
56:50and soon,
56:51all their friends arrive
56:52at the hospital
56:53to support him.
56:54Lin undergoes the surgery,
56:55which turns out
56:56to be successful.
56:57Yen then moves
56:58into his home
56:59to take care of him
57:00during his recovery.
57:01One day,
57:02Lin calls his mother
57:03and tells her
57:04that he and Yen
57:05are back together.
57:06Overjoyed,
57:07she invites them
57:08to Jiang and Lu's wedding.
57:09At the wedding,
57:10everyone gathers
57:11to celebrate.
57:12Afterward,
57:13Lin starts his
57:14physical therapy
57:15and tries to return
57:16to archery.
57:17At first,
57:18he struggles
57:19and can't shoot properly.
57:20But Yen encourages him,
57:21reminding him
57:22that he once promised
57:23to teach her archery.
57:24Determined,
57:25Lin starts training her
57:26and as he does,
57:27he slowly regains
57:28his own skills.
57:29Seeing his progress
57:30fills him with happiness.
57:31After that,
57:32she takes Tan
57:33to a center
57:34that trains mothers
57:35on how to care for children.
57:36He tells her
57:37that he once heard her say
57:38she wanted to be
57:39a mother,
57:40so he brought her there.
57:41Touched by his thoughtfulness,
57:42Tan later decides
57:43to propose
57:44to Qi herself
57:45and they get married.
57:46Meanwhile,
57:47Yen discovers
57:48that the client
57:49she will be working with
57:50is none other than
57:51Lin's father's
57:52former mistress.
57:53At first,
57:54she refuses
57:55to collaborate with her,
57:56but the woman
57:57approaches Yen
57:58and tells her
57:59to think of her
58:00as a mother figure now.
58:01Before Yen can respond,
58:02Lin's mother
58:03suddenly enters the room
58:04and sternly tells the woman,
58:05I left my husband to you,
58:06but you will never
58:07take my son's wife.
58:09Later,
58:10Lin meets with his father
58:11who confesses
58:12that he deeply regrets
58:13betraying his wife.
58:14He says that
58:15if he had a second chance,
58:16he would never make
58:17the same mistake.
58:18That night,
58:19he goes back home
58:20and begs Lin's mother
58:21to give him another chance.
58:22But for the first time,
58:23she stands firm.
58:24She tells him
58:25that she has made up her mind,
58:26she wants a divorce,
58:27and she won't
58:28change her decision.
58:29Eventually,
58:30the divorce is finalized.
58:31At the same time,
58:32Yen receives a call
58:33from her father
58:34who frantically tells her
58:35that her mother
58:36has disappeared.
58:37Lin accompanies Yen
58:38to her father
58:39who reveals that
58:40his last fight with his wife
58:41was because she refused
58:42to seek treatment
58:43before Yen's wedding.
58:44The truth is,
58:45they don't have the money
58:46to afford her medical expenses.
58:48That's why he decided
58:49to sell the restaurant
58:50to pay for her treatment,
58:51but when she found out,
58:52she ran away.
58:53Deeply moved
58:54by their struggle,
58:55Lin and their friends
58:56join the search
58:57for Yen's mother.
58:58When they finally find her,
58:59Yen embraces her tightly,
59:01begging her
59:02to start the treatment.
59:03She tearfully tells her mother
59:04that her father
59:05has already sold
59:06the restaurant for her sake.
59:07Hearing this,
59:08Yen's mother
59:09finally agrees
59:10to receive treatment.
59:11In the end,
59:12Lin and Yen's wedding date
59:13is set.
59:14On the day of the ceremony,
59:15everyone gathers
59:16to celebrate.
59:17Right before the ceremony begins,
59:19they receive surprising news.
59:21Tan is pregnant.
59:22The group congratulates her
59:23with excitement.
59:24Finally,
59:25Lin and Yen get married,
59:27surrounded by their loved ones,
59:28as everyone cheers
59:29and wishes them happiness.
