Dear Enemy Recap

Episode 1 Recap

On the city streets, traffic was jammed bumper to bumper. Luo Man sat in the car, looking at the long queue of vehicles outside, feeling helpless. Chen Kaixi called Luo Man. Chen Kaixi had specially organized a blind date party for Luo Man. Because Luo Man hadn't arrived yet, Chen Kaixi thought Luo Man wasn't interested in the blind date setup.

However, Luo Man clearly remembered the time was 7:30, while Chen Kaixi told Luo Man the party time was 6:30. Luo Man showed a helpless expression. After hanging up the phone, she recalled her time at school. It was in class, analyzing a novel by Zhang Ailing. Luo Man and Chen Kaixi were classmates and had different opinions. Luo Man publicly contradicted Chen Kaixi, which shows their relationship was quite delicate.

Seeing the traffic completely stuck, Luo Man had no choice but to walk, running towards the party location. While running, she recalled the past. At that time, their relationship seemed very good, but no one expected that at such an important party, Chen Kaixi deliberately gave the wrong time. Luo Man also decided she would definitely not let Chen Kaixi have her way. Chen Kaixi, Zhong Qingcheng, and Zhou Musun were having a pleasant conversation at the banquet.

Suddenly, Luo Man's arrival surprised Chen Kaixi, but she quickly recovered and expressed her welcome to Luo Man. As soon as she arrived, Luo Man took control of the dinner, successfully attracting Zhou Musun's attention. The two quickly found a common topic through food, which piqued Zhou Musun's interest. Going back three days, Luo Man, Chen Kaixi, and Zhong Qingcheng were talking together.

Chen Kaixi suddenly asked Zhong Qingcheng if she was still single and proactively offered to introduce her to a boyfriend, proposing to take Zhong Qingcheng to Zhou Musun's private club for a blind date. Luo Man also wanted to join, using the reason that she had never been to a private club. Chen Kaixi couldn't refuse, but deliberately gave the wrong time. After returning home, Luo Man also specifically researched Zhou Musun's information, mastering everything about his past and hobbies.

This resulted in Luo Man immediately finding common ground with Zhou Musun as soon as they met. Going back to three days prior again, from Zhou Musun's perspective, Chen Kaixi sent him a message wanting to introduce a girlfriend to him. He happened to be playing ball with Chen Kaixi's husband, Chen Mian.

Seeing that Zhou Musun and Luo Man were getting along better than expected, which went against her initial intention, Chen Kaixi deliberately sought another topic to try and redirect Zhou Musun's attention back to Zhong Qingcheng. However, it seemed Zhou Musun was not interested in Zhong Qingcheng. Luo Man felt there must be something fishy about Chen Kaixi being so attentive to a stranger, so she kept trying to disrupt things.

No matter how Chen Kaixi tried to shift Zhou Musun's attention to Zhong Qingcheng, Luo Man always found a way to pull his attention back. Chen Kaixi kept trying to showcase Zhong Qingcheng's beauty to Zhou Musun, unaware that he had already developed a strong interest in Luo Man. Luo Man also handled the situation perfectly. After the banquet ended, Chen Kaixi knew she had completely lost tonight, letting Luo Man gain the upper hand again.

On the way home, Luo Man was secretly gloating, but she kept hiding her inner excitement so others wouldn't notice. Chen Kaixi was also very helpless. After parting ways with Zhong Qingcheng, she immediately blocked Luo Man. At this point, Luo Man still wanted to send a voice message in a victorious manner, but after taking out her phone, she found she had been blocked on WeChat.

Feeling a bit flustered, she called Chen Kaixi, but the other party didn't answer. Chen Kaixi's phone kept ringing after she returned home, all calls from Luo Man. Chen Kaixi initially didn't want to answer, but felt it was awkward to just hang up, so she had to pick up. The two began complaining about each other's faults over the years.

Finally, Chen Kaixi told Luo Man that Zhou Musun was actually a "bottomless pit", with no intention of getting married. He just wanted to rely on his charm to conquer women and show off his superiority, making him a complete scumbag. Luo Man was puzzled. If Zhou Musun was a scumbag, why introduce him to Zhong Qingcheng? Chen Kaixi frankly explained that it was because her own husband, Chen Mian, had been seducing Zhong Qingcheng.

The two women confessed their feelings accumulated over the years. Although they had been frenemies for many years, they had long considered each other their best friend.

Episode 2 Recap

Luo Man went to Chen Kaixi's house out of special concern for Chen Kaixi, but Chen Kaixi deliberately pretended to be indifferent and even said she didn't need pity. Luo Man was there to comfort Chen Kaixi, and in order to make Chen Kaixi happy, she deliberately humbled herself. That was the first time the two met after many years, and Chen Kaixi had become a wealthy lady, no longer worrying about food, clothing, and housing, dealing with high-end things.

Luo Man felt a hint of jealousy from this. She didn't have common topics when meeting those wealthy ladies with Chen Kaixi, but she always wanted to find some satisfaction in her heart. Luo Man concernedly asked Chen Kaixi how she found out, trying to advise Chen Kaixi to be open about it later. She admitted she had looked at her husband's phone.

Based on the dance studio address posted by Zhong Qingcheng, she deliberately created a chance encounter and finally became good friends with the other party. Luo Man also wanted to comfort Chen Kaixi, saying that if she really wanted to give the other party money, she wouldn't do it through tips. Under Luo Man's comfort, Chen Kaixi's mood indeed brightened significantly.

Luo Man originally wanted to leave, but felt worried and went back to check, only to find Chen Kaixi sitting on the stairs crying. It turned out that Chen Kaixi's earlier calm demeanor was just an act; when she was left alone, she finally couldn't hold back her tears. Luo Man recalled their time in school again; Chen Kaixi was still that gentle and weak little girl and hadn't changed. The scene of Chen Kaixi's wedding was still vivid.

At that time, Chen Mian doted on Chen Kaixi immensely and even swore that he would love Chen Kaixi forever. When Chen Kaixi initially married Chen Mian, Chen Mian had nothing, and all her family opposed it. Only Chen Kaixi herself insisted, preferring to endure hardship with Chen Mian. After returning home, Luo Man felt a bit physically and mentally tired, but she received a message from Zhou Musun. It was already 1:30 AM.

Zhou Musun suddenly sending a message, Luo Man knew he definitely didn't have good intentions. She even told Chen Kaixi about it. Chen Kaixi advised Luo Man to stay away from Zhou Musun and not get herself involved, but Luo Man was confident and felt she wouldn't be that foolish. Luo Man deliberately left Zhou Musun waiting without immediately replying to his message. She waited for an hour before deliberately saying she had just showered.

Zhou Musun was also very uneasy because he hadn't received a reply from Luo Man. After receiving the message, he was finally satisfied and prepared to rest. The next day, after Luo Man went to work, she presented her creative work, but the other party was very dissatisfied with Luo Man's work. Chen Kaixi called Luo Man, but Luo Man didn't answer because she had been in meetings. Finally getting a moment to breathe, Luo Man called Chen Kaixi back.

Chen Kaixi signed up for an emotional consulting course and wanted Luo Man to accompany her all the way. However, when Luo Man saw the price of the consulting course, she was very shocked, feeling it was a "tax on intelligence". The emotional consultant asked Chen Kaixi about her current marital status, but Luo Man kept thinking the other party was just trying to deceive and swindle money.

She even specifically raised some questions, which made the emotional consultant feel somewhat uncomfortable, even though she guaranteed she could help women successfully win back men. Luo Man's aggressiveness made the emotional consultant struggle to answer. To prevent Luo Man from disrupting things, Chen Kaixi specifically asked Luo Man to leave first.

In reality, Chen Kaixi didn't entirely want to find an emotional consultant just to win back her husband's heart; she just wanted someone to talk to because there were many things she couldn't even discuss with her good friend. Luo Man recounted her marital situation over the years, and the emotional consultant became a loyal listener. After Luo Man returned home, Zhou Musun sent another message.

Because Luo Man had accompanied Chen Kaixi to emotional consulting, Zhou Musun saw her, and Luo Man admitted it frankly. Luo Man told Zhou Musun her understanding of emotional consulting, and Zhou Musun's reply was perfect. Luo Man knew she had encountered a master of relationships, and Luo Man had also been playing hard to get. Zhou Musun proactively asked Luo Man out for dinner, and Luo Man felt she had everything under control.

Luo Man and Zhou Musun had arranged to have dinner. She happened to see Chen Kaixi's husband in the hotel lobby, and at the same time, she also saw Zhong Qingcheng arrive at the hotel.

Episode 3 Recap

Zhong Qingcheng came to the hotel bathroom. When she looked at herself in the mirror, time went back to the time in the dance class. Chen Kaixi and Zhong Qingcheng danced together in the dance class, and the two of them partnered very well. After practice, Zhong Qingcheng curiously asked Chen Kaixi about Luo Man's whereabouts, thinking Luo Man was coming. Chen Kaixi gave Zhong Qingcheng a cosmetic product she had bought.

Zhong Qingcheng was also very excited after seeing the brand of the cosmetic product because many top-tier celebrities were using it. Chen Kaixi took the opportunity to ask about the progress between Zhong Qingcheng and Zhou Musun. Actually, after returning that night, Zhou Musun had already sent a message to Zhong Qingcheng and wanted to invite her to dinner alone.

However, during the dinner, Zhong Qingcheng also saw that Zhou Musun was interested in Luo Man, yet he still sent her messages, clearly having impure intentions. Zhong Qingcheng lightly said she had no contact with Zhou Musun and also used being young as a reason for not wanting to find a boyfriend. While talking, Zhong Qingcheng learned that Chen Kaixi's husband was named Chen Mian. Chen Kaixi took Zhong Qingcheng home to cook together.

Zhong Qingcheng also highly praised Chen Kaixi. While they were talking, Zhong Qingcheng received a WeChat message. Chen Kaixi thought it was from Zhou Musun, and Zhong Qingcheng found an excuse to leave. The person who sent the message was Zhong Qingcheng's Top Supporter. Zhong Qingcheng didn't want to lose someone who kept giving her gifts because this kind of person was much better than Zhou Musun. Zhong Qingcheng was not as simple as she appeared.

When she first met Zhou Musun, she knew he was a very stingy man and had no interest in him. Because Zhong Qingcheng's own father was also such a man, meticulously dressing himself up to go see other women. During Zhong Qingcheng's livestream, this Top Supporter suddenly kept sending rockets. After sending an unknown number of rockets, he actively requested a meeting.

Zhong Qingcheng naturally didn't want to lose the person who was giving her gifts, so she agreed to meet. When Zhong Qingcheng met the Top Supporter, it was Chen Mian. Chen Mian was very talkative, which also made Zhong Qingcheng develop a good impression of him. Time returned to reality again. Zhong Qingcheng was sitting in the car on her way to the hotel where she had arranged to meet Chen Kaixi.

This was exactly why Luo Man had seen Zhong Qingcheng and Chen Mian appear at the same hotel earlier. After Chen Kaixi saw the photos sent by Luo Man, she quickly rushed towards the hotel. At first, Luo Man was also uneasy, wanting to ask Chen Kaixi if she had decided for sure to go to the hotel to catch them in the act.

The constantly anxious Chen Kaixi kept overthinking in the car, imagining how Zhong Qingcheng would enter the hotel room and be intimate with her husband. When Zhong Qingcheng entered the room, it wasn't as Chen Kaixi had imagined. Instead, she deliberately found a topic to start talking with Chen Mian. Ultimately, Chen Mian still expressed his feelings to Zhong Qingcheng, wanting to start an extramarital affair with her.

Chen Kaixi arrived at the hotel and met Luo Man in the lobby. Luo Man was also very worried. If Chen Kaixi really went up and exposed them, the situation would be irreparable. However, Chen Kaixi did not want to completely drive everyone to a dead end; she just wanted to beat the bush to scare the snake.

On Zhong Qingcheng's side, she was very surprised to hear Chen Mian say he is married and also understood that this man was putting her in the position of a mistress. Although Zhong Qingcheng was very angry in her heart, she still hesitated because she didn't want to lose this Top Supporter. Seeing that Zhong Qingcheng was not angry, Chen Mian became even bolder and directly hugged Zhong Qingcheng from behind.

Zhong Qingcheng wanted to resist but didn't dare use too much force. Just then, Chen Kaixi called Chen Mian, and Zhong Qingcheng also took the opportunity to free herself. Zhong Qingcheng also saw Chen Kaixi's name on Chen Mian's screen, so she quickly left. Chen Mian was also very annoyed with Chen Kaixi, but hearing that Chen Kaixi was in the hotel lobby, he couldn't say much and could only go to meet his wife.

Zhong Qingcheng took the elevator down and happened to run into Chen Kaixi at the elevator entrance. At the moment they met, Zhong Qingcheng's expression was very surprised and a bit flustered.

Episode 4 Recap

Chen Kaixi and Zhong Qingcheng met at the elevator entrance. After seeing Chen Kaixi, Zhong Qingcheng didn't know how to face her. Instead, Chen Kaixi pretended it was a chance encounter and was very enthusiastic towards Zhong Qingcheng. After Zhong Qingcheng walked out, she saw Luo Man in the lobby. Zhong Qingcheng immediately realized that it was very likely Luo Man who had tipped them off. She even felt a hint of hatred towards Luo Man because of this.

However, she also understood that Chen Kaixi might have suspected her, so she immediately went back to explain to Chen Kaixi, claiming that her purpose for coming was to see a friend and she didn't know the other person was married. Chen Kaixi arrived at the door of Chen Mian's room and deliberately pretended to be very surprised. She also specifically checked the bed and was relieved to find that it hadn't been moved.

Chen Kaixi took out what she had made, but found that the egg tarts were a bit collapsed and not very presentable. However, Chen Mian didn't mind and ate them with great relish instead. Seeing him eat, Chen Kaixi was very pleased and felt that her efforts hadn't been in vain. At this moment, Chen Kaixi remembered the psychological counselor's advice to use the child as a bond.

She talked to her husband about the child and specifically used the child as an excuse, wanting her husband to come home often. However, Chen Mian immediately saw through Chen Kaixi's intentions. Chen Mian also calmly went with Chen Kaixi to pick up the child, and Chen Kaixi was still very happy in her heart. Chen Kaixi left with Chen Mian, then chatted with Luo Man again and asked about the relationship between Luo Man and Zhou Musun.

After Chen Kaixi returned home, she was very upset when she found a cup Zhong Qingcheng had used, wanting to throw it away. However, she remembered what the psychological counselor said about controlling her emotions, and Chen Kaixi had been restraining herself. Chen Mian had a great time playing with his son. Chen Kaixi looked at the warm scene and felt it was beautiful, forgetting her worries from just now.

Zhou Musun finally arrived at the meeting place, and Luo Man also feigned reserve, making Zhou Musun wait for another 10 minutes. After meeting, Zhou Musun specifically handed the menu to Luo Man and pretended to be very generous, telling Luo Man to order anything she wanted. On Chen Kaixi's side, a family dinner was taking place. The family of three sat together warmly having dinner.

The tutor also happened to arrive, and seeing they were eating, she considerately offered to wait. The son also took the opportunity to suggest that his father stay at home, and Chen Mian actually agreed. Chen Kaixi was very happy to see that the method the tutor taught was effective, and immediately sent a message like this to the tutor, expressing her gratitude. Luo Man and Zhou Musun were having dinner together, subtly interacting with each other.

However, some of Zhou Musun's worldviews resonated with Luo Man. She also sent a message to Chen Kaixi, still believing that Zhou Musun was someone who didn't believe in marriage. Of course, these views were very suitable for someone who didn't believe in marriage. However, after interacting, Luo Man's attitude towards Zhou Musun seemed to have improved slightly. While shopping, she deliberately acted like a shy young girl and even agreed to go home with Zhou Musun.

Zhou Musun even actively suggested wanting to hug Luo Man. Luo Man had no way to refuse, but her hands were clenched into fists, ready. If Zhou Musun dared to make a further move, Luo Man would definitely hit him in his vital parts. Unexpectedly, Zhou Musun did not make any further moves. Instead, he suggested watching a movie with Luo Man. Zhou Musun and Luo Man sat together watching a movie in a very ambiguous atmosphere.

Luo Man was also deliberately controlling her emotions, intentionally complying with Zhou Musun. After the movie, Zhou Musun even knew how to create a very romantic atmosphere. On Chen Kaixi's side, she had also prepared thoroughly according to the counselor's method and deliberately created an atmosphere. Zhou Musun took Luo Man to the bathroom to let her take a shower. This made Luo Man a bit nervous and confused, so she quickly sent a message to Chen Kaixi.

Although Chen Kaixi had prepared carefully, in the end, Chen Mian still left, and it wasn't successful. Luo Man had no choice but to obediently finish her shower and walk out of the room. At this point, Zhou Musun was also all ready, wearing only a bathrobe. When Zhou Musun took Luo Man to the bed, ready to make a further move, Luo Man ultimately refused.

Episode 5 Recap

Because Luo Man's temporary idea made Zhou Musun very uncomfortable. Zhou Musun was originally burning with desire and was decisively rejected, which made him very angry. He didn't even ask Luo Man to stay the night and sent her straight back. So, Luo Man and Zhou Musun were just testing each other, playing subtle games. Luo Man was mentally prepared for rejection, but being suddenly sent away like that still made her feel a bit sad.

Chen Kaixi's careful preparation was also decisively rejected by her husband, which made her very sad. Both women subconsciously picked up their phones wanting to check the other's WeChat. After Chen Kaixi saw the message Luo Man forwarded, she thought about it repeatedly but ultimately did not reply to Luo Man. When they woke up the next day, both women had adjusted their uncomfortable moods. Chen Kaixi also called Luo Man to ask about her situation with concern.

Luo Man deliberately pretended to be relaxed and spoke casually, and also asked about Chen Kaixi's situation with concern. Chen Kaixi also pretended as if nothing had happened. The lies ultimately couldn't keep the two women talking for long. Luo Man found an excuse to hang up the phone. Zhou Musun and Chen Mian had made an appointment to play badminton together. After playing, they talked about business again.

Because Zhou Musun's investor had been unwilling to accept it, and Zhou Musun was very optimistic about this project, he wanted Chen Mian to mediate. Chen Kaixi was invited to attend an event. Many of the people at the event were prominent wealthy women.

Zhong Qingcheng also came to the event site, but seeing that Chen Kaixi was busy, she was hesitant to go up and greet her, and kept following behind until someone reminded Chen Kaixi, who then took Zhong Qingcheng to a secluded place. Zhong Qingcheng proactively admitted her mistake, stating that it was indeed due to her vanity that she deliberately maintained some relatively ambiguous contact with Chen Mian.

In order to gain Chen Kaixi's sympathy, Zhong Qingcheng also specifically recounted her tragic childhood. Zhong Qingcheng was also deliberately maintaining her relationship with Chen Kaixi because Chen Kaixi was the only socialite Zhong Qingcheng knew, and there was also Luo Man, who was on the rise. These were resources that Zhong Qingcheng had always dreamed of.

Zhong Qingcheng then went to find Luo Man and implored Luo Man for a way to resolve the issue between her and Chen Kaixi. Luo Man also told Zhong Qingcheng about the art exhibition Chen Kaixi was about to attend and how to beg for Chen Kaixi's forgiveness. This is why Zhong Qingcheng suddenly appeared at the art exhibition. As expected, with Luo Man's help, Zhong Qingcheng's words evoked pity in Chen Kaixi again.

Someone else sought out Luo Man, wanting her to help write a script. Coincidentally, at the meeting place, Luo Man ran into her ex-boyfriend Wu Hao. The two hadn't seen each other for many years, but after meeting again, Luo Man seemed more composed. They added each other on WeChat. When Luo Man met Zhong Qingcheng that evening, Luo Man told her about running into her ex-boyfriend. Zhong Qingcheng asked Luo Man why she broke up with her ex-boyfriend.

It was because their statuses differed too much back then; he was an elite in the same field, while Luo Man was just a small, obscure editor with even unstable income. However, it was precisely this breakup that led Luo Man to seclude herself at home for half a year, and she also completed her first play, thus becoming a very promising editor.

But by the time they met again now, Luo Man's future was bright, while her ex-boyfriend Wu Hao's status had clearly declined and was not as illustrious as before. During their conversation, Wu Hao sent a message, wanting to pick Luo Man up the next day.

After seeing Zhong Qingcheng off, Luo Man initially wanted to tell Chen Kaixi about the message, but then she remembered what Chen Kaixi had said – not everyone is Luo Man, and the actors in the script will perform their roles according to Luo Man's own arrangements – so she dismissed the idea. Luo Man and Wu Hao went to watch a movie together and unexpectedly saw Zhou Musun also watching with a lady.

Episode 6 Recap

Zhong Qingcheng went for the audition, found the other party was very informal, so she left. However, after entering the elevator, another new director called, wanting to audition Zhong Qingcheng. In order to make a good impression on the director, Zhong Qingcheng specifically put on makeup inside the elevator. Just then, the elevator door happened to open and was seen by others. Looking at their eyes, Zhong Qingcheng knew these people might have misunderstood, but she also left completely indifferently.

Luo Man watched a movie with Wu Hao and saw Zhou Musun with a beautiful lady. Although she pretended to be unconcerned on the surface, Luo Man was still somewhat concerned inside. After the movie ended, some people from the film and television industry strongly invited Luo Man to a gathering, but Zhou Musun suddenly appeared. Luo Man refused the gathering and started chatting with Zhou Musun instead. While Luo Man was chatting with Zhou Musun, Chen Kaixi called.

Chen Kaixi was playing outside with her child when suddenly something happened to the child. Zhou Musun also took advantage of Luo Man answering the phone and left with the beautiful lady. After seeing Zhou Musun, Luo Man was still a bit angry inside, but she still quickly drove towards the hospital with Wu Hao. Chen Kaixi was very worried because she was afraid she would be blamed by Chen Mian for not keeping an eye on the child.

Luo Man rushed to the hospital. While making a call and looking for Chen Kaixi's location, she accidentally bumped into a doctor carrying medicine. Luo Man met with Chen Kaixi and learned that Chen Mian's brilliant cousin, Fang Chi, worked as a doctor at this hospital. When Luo Man turned around to look, she suddenly realized it was the doctor she had just bumped into. Chen Kaixi introduced Luo Man and Fang Chi.

Not knowing what had happened between the two before, both Luo Man and Fang Chi spoke sarcastically, which confused Chen Kaixi. In order to prevent Chen Kaixi from being blamed, Luo Man wanted Chen Kaixi to deliberately tell a lie. However, the entire process was seen by the child's English tutor. Lying wouldn't work, so Luo Man suggested Chen Kaixi explain it to the English tutor to help cover it up, but the English tutor was not trustworthy.

Chen Kaixi suspected Chen Mian was having an affair with the tutor. However, Luo Man had also bribed Chen Mian's assistant and learned Chen Mian's schedule. Knowing it would still take some time for Chen Mian to get home, Luo Man decided to help Chen Kaixi cover it up, so she helped Chen Kaixi begin analyzing the tutors.

Luo Man wanted to determine if the English tutor had the affair with Chen Mian before entering the household or after, because there was a huge difference between the two. If the two had the affair before coming in, it proved the tutor was specially arranged by Chen Mian to come in, and her words would carry a lot of weight.

After analysis, Luo Man suggested Chen Kaixi call Chen Mian first, telling him about the child's injury, and then arranging various matters to push all the blame onto the English tutor. At first, Chen Kaixi was still hesitant, not wanting to involve the child, but thinking that if she divorced because of this and the child was taken by another woman, Chen Kaixi still decided to proceed according to Luo Man's method.

After Chen Mian rushed home, he hurried to visit his injured son. Chen Kaixi did not tell the child according to Luo Man's method. She also voluntarily admitted her mistake to Chen Mian, saying that she was too careless while replying to messages, causing the child to get injured after leaving her sight. While visiting the child, Chen Mian specifically asked the child if he liked the English tutor, Sister Amy.

When he came out, Chen Kaixi thought she would be blamed by Chen Mian, her face full of apology, but the result was Chen Mian showed no blame at all and instead comforted Chen Kaixi. However, Chen Mian did not stay at home for long, found an excuse and left again, and at this time, Chen Kaixi also did not deliberately try to keep Chen Mian from leaving.

Chen Kaixi and Luo Man chatted while drinking alcohol and were full of doubt about their current lives because they didn't know how many other women were interested in Chen Mian, and also felt that the two of them were slowly becoming enemies. That night, Luo Man stayed over at Chen Kaixi's house to sleep, and the two of them seemed to have returned to their student days.

Episode 7 Recap

At night, the two best friends lay in bed, and Chen Kaixi complained to Luo Man, afraid of losing everything she had. Luo Man also confided her inner thoughts. Both best friends had things they feared, and gradually, they fell asleep while chatting. The next morning, Chen Kaixi got up early to make breakfast. Luo Man and Chen Kaixi were eating breakfast when Wu Hao sent a message. Luo Man told Chen Kaixi about her encounter with Wu Hao.

Realizing that Wu Hao wanted to rekindle their relationship, Luo Man was somewhat hesitant. Chen Kaixi also deliberately joked, wanting to help Luo Man test the waters. Zhong Qingcheng suddenly received a call from the director. The TV series she was about to star in had a problem and she could no longer participate. Zhong Qingcheng's life was also very tight right now.

Luo Man took a car back home and kept looking at the photos Wu Hao had sent her. At this time, her father called again, wanting to urge Luo Man to get married. Under her father's urging, Luo Man was helpless and could only hang up the phone without a clear answer. Chen Kaixi attended a gathering with a group of wealthy ladies, mutually complaining about their current men.

After listening to these wealthy ladies' words, Chen Kaixi also felt a trace of worry. Luo Man's script was also being criticized because the female protagonist in Luo Man's script was too weak, not in line with the tastes of young people offline.

However, Luo Man felt that her arrangement was very reasonable because people's standards were too high now, wanting women to be gentle, considerate, kind, and good at taking care of the family, while also going out to earn money. Luo Man's complaints directly stunned everyone. Li Wei'an, who was being complained about by the ladies on Chen Kaixi's side, suddenly appeared. Everyone felt awkward and quickly found an excuse to leave.

Li Wei'an thought she was an unpopular person and planned to leave as well. Chen Kaixi not only did not show any intention of wanting to stay away from Li Wei'an, but also accepted a gift that Li Wei'an gave her. Li Wei'an also knew that many people kept their distance from her now and was very touched after receiving Chen Kaixi's gift. Zhong Qingcheng's roommate suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and Zhong Qingcheng took care of her very considerately.

Suddenly, she saw her roommate pick up the phone on the living room table. Someone was calling, and the caller was none other than Zhou Musun. Zhong Qingcheng was a little caught off guard. Zhong Qingcheng wanted to persuade her roommate, but accidentally learned about the scene when Luo Man met Zhou Musun in the cinema. It turned out that the woman next to Zhou Musun that Luo Man saw in the cinema was Zhong Qingcheng's roommate.

In the evening, when Luo Man was at home, her mother sent a message to comfort Luo Man. Luo Man arrived at Wu Hao's home. Wu Hao's parents were very welcoming after seeing Luo Man and praised her endlessly. In the evening, Luo Man and Wu Hao walked the dog together. They walked on the once familiar streets, but the changes were very big.

Inadvertently, Luo Man's hand was held by Wu Hao, but Luo Man did not resist too much. When Wu Hao was sending Luo Man home, he expressed his feelings, but Luo Man couldn't make up her mind at this time and didn't dare to bravely take that step. Luo Man also deleted Zhou Musun's WeChat. Luo Man met with Chen Kaixi and Zhong Qingcheng for dinner.

During the meal, they talked about the matter between Luo Man and Wu Hao again. Luo Man decided to try dating him again, but Chen Kaixi felt that Wu Hao was not a man to entrust for life. In the evening, Wu Hao sent another message, wanting to take Luo Man to attend a friend's wedding. Luo Man remembered that when they were dating before, Wu Hao was unwilling to bring Luo Man into his circle.

Luo Man followed Wu Hao to attend a friend's gathering. When she went to the bathroom, she was complained about by several of Wu Hao's female friends. When she returned to the dinner table, Luo Man also heard it. Unable to bear the shameless words of the many men, she stepped forward to retort to everyone and then turned and left, not planning to associate with Wu Hao anymore.

Luo Man came to a bar to drink and relieve her boredom, and also sent a message to Chen Kaixi. As a result, when she was drunk, she saw Zhou Musun by her side. Although Zhou Musun showed enthusiasm, Luo Man was still wary of Zhou Musun. However, under Zhou Musun's carefulness, Luo Man couldn't help but complain about the grievances in her heart to Zhou Musun.

Episode 8 Recap

Luo Man, drunk, once again followed Zhou Musun back to his home. When getting out of the car, Zhou Musun even asked Luo Man if she regretted it, but Luo Man firmly stated that she had never regretted anything she had done. After arriving at Zhou Musun's house, Zhou Musun took the initiative to pour Luo Man a glass of water, and then once again asked Luo Man to take a bath.

This time Luo Man was more composed, but while taking a bath, Luo Man suddenly realized that her period had started. She was very embarrassed to ask Zhou Musun if he had any sanitary napkins at home. When Zhou Musun heard this, he was filled with surprise, because Luo Man thought Zhou Musun always brought girls home, so he should have these feminine products.

Not only did Zhou Musun not have any, but Zhou Musun's place of residence was a high-end residential area, and there were no convenience stores nearby, so she couldn't buy any at all. Helpless, Luo Man could only buy online and have it delivered. Chen Kaixi was happily picking out bags. Just a few hours before, Chen Kaixi and Zhou Musun were playing badminton together.

During the break, Chen Kaixi asked Zhou Musun what industry she should get into if she wanted to start her own business. Zhou Musun claimed that his company was recently investing in a beauty industry, and Chen Kaixi was very suitable for this industry. He took the initiative to invite Chen Kaixi to the company, and Zhou Musun also took the opportunity to ask Chen Kaixi about the location of her dinner with Luo Man that night.

This is precisely why Zhou Musun appeared at the bar where Luo Man was drinking. After taking a bath, Luo Man wore very little clothing and didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment. She directly lay on the bed, wanting to rest her tired body, and suddenly found Zhou Musun was in the closet next to her. At this moment, Zhou Musun slowly walked to the bed, deliberately acting ambiguous, wanting to tease Luo Man, but Luo Man looked panicked.

She even overcame her physical discomfort in her heart. However, at this time Zhou Musun did not seem to want to continue, but instead turned around to take a shower. After taking a bath, Zhou Musun saw Luo Man sleeping and gently got into bed, but Luo Man was not asleep, and asked Zhou Musun about the doubts in her heart. Zhou Musun's answer was quite considerate of Luo Man, and both developed a slight interest in each other.

Luo Man even opened her heart and told Zhou Musun about things from her childhood. The next day, Luo Man was both working and flirting at Zhou Musun's house. Zhou Musun was also very considerate, and even personally cooked delicious food for Luo Man. Luo Man also complained to Zhou Musun about work matters from time to time, like a little housewife after marriage.

After experiencing a jerk like Wu Hao again, Luo Man felt that Zhou Musun was a very considerate man. She even indulged in the process of dating Zhou Musun and couldn't suppress the smile in her heart even when going out with Zhong Qingcheng. Luo Man, Chen Kaixi, and Zhong Qingcheng are all busy with their careers. Zhong Qingcheng can finally officially join the crew for filming, while Luo Man does not forget to flirt with Zhou Musun after work.

In order to cater to Zhou Musun's tastes, Luo Man is even discussing garlic, which she doesn't like to eat. Zhong Qingcheng is working as an assistant to a very famous actress, and has also seen many different secrets in the entertainment industry. She was even noticed by Ken, who added her on WeChat. Zhong Qingcheng took the opportunity to beg Ken for a chance, but happened to be seen by the passing actress.

Chen Kaixi also came to Zhou Musun's company to work. On her first day of work, she was very busy. Zhou Musun took the initiative to invite Chen Kaixi to dinner, but Chen Kaixi deliberately kept her distance from Zhou Musun and did not agree. Ken quickly invited Zhong Qingcheng to dinner, and even directly expressed his feelings to Zhong Qingcheng.

Zhong Qingcheng didn't want to be someone's mistress, but Ken actually took out a divorce certificate to prove that he was currently single, and took the initiative to ask to be with Chen Kaixi. Zhong Qingcheng didn't want to or dare to refuse directly, but Luo Man and Zhou Musun happened to pass by and helped Chen Kaixi out of the situation.

Episode 9 Recap

Zhou Musun and Luo Man were very much in sync, which made Ken feel confused and ask about their relationship. At this moment, neither Zhou Musun nor Luo Man could accurately describe their relationship. Zhou Musun's description even made Luo Man unable to stop herself from laughing. That night, after the two returned home, Luo Man even actively threw herself at Zhou Musun.

After their passion, Zhou Musun and Luo Man lay in bed, holding each other and talking about their feelings. Zhou Musun woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly found that Luo Man had a fever. He considerately put a piece of clothing on Luo Man and also got her some medicine. Zhong Qingcheng finally seized the opportunity to act, but she was targeted everywhere, and her colleagues constantly sneered at her.

Her scene partner was the previously mentioned famous actress. Because the actress saw that Chen Kaixi and Ken were being ambiguous, she deliberately made things difficult for Zhong Qingcheng during filming. Chen Mian brought his cousin Fang Chi to play badminton with Zhou Musun and coincidentally saw Luo Man and Zhou Musun together. When Luo Man arrived at Chen Kaixi's home, she still couldn't help but tell her about her relationship with Zhou Musun.

Luo Man thought that after she told her, she would be blamed by Chen Kaixi, but Chen Kaixi's reaction was very normal. Chen Kaixi asked Luo Man if her relationship with Zhou Musun was heading towards marriage. Luo Man hadn't thought about how their relationship would end, but she admitted frankly that she had indeed developed feelings for Zhou Musun and wasn't overly pursuing the final outcome.

During the badminton game, Zhou Musun kept feeding the ball to Director Song, which made Fang Chi very uncomfortable. Chen Mian also learned that Chen Kaixi was working for Zhou Musun and was quite surprised, but he still pretended to be calm and composed. After playing, Chen Mian returned home very angry, blaming Chen Kaixi for working for Zhou Musun.

This Zhou Musun had always wanted to drag Chen Mian down, and Chen Kaixi working for Zhou Musun instead affected Chen Mian. Luo Man also felt that Chen Kaixi working for Zhou Musun was inappropriate and considered it a "fire pit". Chen Kaixi argued that it was not wrong, citing Luo Man's relationship with Zhou Musun as a reason. The two good friends had a dispute over this.

After returning home, Zhou Musun kept recalling Chen Mian's reaction when he found out about Chen Kaixi working for him, looking quite pleased with his dispirited expression. Luo Man also went to find Zhou Musun, and they had an argument because of Chen Kaixi's matter. Luo Man blamed Zhou Musun for not telling her when he hired Chen Kaixi to work at his company.

Zhou Musun felt that these matters were his own business and had nothing to do with Luo Man. Furthermore, Zhou Musun felt that Luo Man's current awkward position was because Luo Man had put herself in an awkward position; as long as Luo Man could understand this, she wouldn't be so awkward. Moreover, Zhou Musun's actions were purely commercial.

Because Zhou Musun had seen that Chen Mian was not sincerely intending to cooperate with him, hiring Chen Kaixi to his company was indeed intended to be a means of utilizing her. However, Luo Man still couldn't agree with Zhou Musun's explanation. She felt that Zhou Musun's actions made it impossible for her to explain to Chen Kaixi.

Furthermore, Luo Man had also seen how Chen Mian reacted when Chen Kaixi went to work outside, which seriously affected the relationship between Chen Kaixi and Chen Mian. Originally, there were already significant problems between Chen Kaixi and Chen Mian, and this incident could very likely accelerate their separation. Because Luo Man and Zhou Musun each held their own views and couldn't see eye to eye, they could only break up in the end.

Zhong Qingcheng also encountered obstacles in her work because she was constantly being made things difficult for her. The three women coincidentally all faced difficulties. Although Luo Man and Chen Kaixi had an argument, Luo Man was still worried about Chen Kaixi's well-being and kept thinking about how to explain to Chen Kaixi and tell her not to work for Zhou Musun. Just at this moment, Chen Kaixi also sent a gift to Luo Man via express delivery.

That night, while in the car, Luo Man was even moved to tears looking at the note included by Chen Kaixi in the gift. Even when arguing, the two best friends cared for each other, and afterward, what they valued most was their relationship; neither wanted to abandon the other.

Episode 10 Recap

Because Zhong Qingcheng had just started acting, her acting skills weren't very good. Coupled with someone deliberately making things difficult for her, she was complained about by the crew. Just then, Luo Man arrived at the set with the director. With Luo Man's help, the director specifically coached Zhong Qingcheng, explaining how to act.

Even the famous actress who had been jealous of Zhong Qingcheng didn't dare to make things difficult for her anymore when she saw the director helping Zhong Qingcheng so much. During Zhong Qingcheng's free time, Luo Man and Zhong Qingcheng chatted. Zhong Qingcheng asked about the past grievances between Luo Man and the director.

It turned out that the reason Luo Man and the director had such a good relationship was that they met during their early stages of climbing up. Back then, they were scolded together, bore the brunt together, and gradually their friendship was established. Zhong Qingcheng also asked about the matter between Luo Man and Zhou Musun. Luo Man told Zhong Qingcheng the whole story. Zhong Qingcheng, however, felt that what Zhou Musun said was not wrong.

She also felt that this was a matter between Zhou Musun and Chen Mian, a business matter, without personal grudges mixed in. Although Luo Man admitted that Zhong Qingcheng's words made sense, she still couldn't have the same understanding and perspective as Zhou Musun. Chen Kaixi also learned about the matter discussed between Luo Man and Zhou Musun. She specifically invited Luo Man out to express her gratitude.

When talking about the past argument, Chen Kaixi also felt that it was Luo Man's fault. Chen Mian returned home and saw Chen Kaixi playing happily with their child, also showing a look of relief and a satisfied smile. Chen Kaixi also learned that she was hired by Zhou Musun not because he valued her abilities, but simply to use her, and she resolutely decided to resign. Luo Man had been looking up information about Zhou Musun's ex-girlfriend at home.

She felt that Zhou Musun's ex-girlfriend was a very perfect person, and since even she couldn't handle Zhou Musun, Luo Man also started to hesitate about whether to continue the relationship. --- Zhou Musun had dinner with a group of big bosses, including Chen Mian. Chen Mian took the opportunity to talk about Luo Man's shortcomings in front of Zhou Musun.

Zhou Musun did not express great dissatisfaction with Luo Man because of this; instead, he only said, "I think Luo Man is quite interesting. " Chen Mian took Chen Kaixi to attend a banquet. When many rich wives heard that Chen Kaixi used to play the cello, they wanted her to demonstrate.

However, Chen Kaixi hadn't played the cello for many years since getting married and felt a bit flustered, but Chen Mian also wanted Chen Kaixi to perform on stage. Zhou Musun actively invited Luo Man to meet, and Luo Man still had feelings for Zhou Musun and did not refuse. Chen Kaixi went on stage to perform, and her beautiful melody shocked everyone. Many rich wives praised Chen Kaixi for her profound skill.

Chen Kaixi seemed to have returned to her student days, doing what she loved. When Chen Mian saw Chen Kaixi back on stage, playing the cello, it was as if the whole world stood still. The people around ceased to exist; only he was there, deeply captivated. After the performance, Chen Kaixi also received recognition from everyone, and applause erupted from the audience. Luo Man followed Zhou Musun back to his home.

However, remembering the resolute words she said when she left before, that she wouldn't step into Zhou Musun's room again, she felt this moment was quite embarrassing and contradictory. Zhou Musun was also very considerate. He stepped forward and hugged Luo Man, letting Luo Man step on his feet so she wouldn't step on the ground. After being captivated by Chen Kaixi's performance once again, Chen Mian finally stayed home for the night.

The two of them also experienced a tenderness they hadn't had in a long time. On Luo Man's side, she seemed to be having a nightmare while sleeping that night. In a daze, she actively hugged Zhou Musun. Chen Kaixi also took advantage of Chen Mian falling asleep, picking up the cello she hadn't used for many years and recalling her past grace and glory when performing on stage.

The next day, Zhou Musun woke up early to prepare breakfast for Luo Man. The two also apologized to each other for their previous argument. However, on the level of their relationship afterward, Zhou Musun's lengthy discourse made Luo Man feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she didn't know where to start refuting him.

Episode 11 Recap

Chen Kaixi showed Zhong Qingcheng the video of herself playing the cello. Zhong Qingcheng was very envious after seeing it. Chen Kaixi also proudly showed off her achievements to Luo Man and Zhong Qingcheng, who were both happy for her. Chen Kaixi gained confidence and had the idea of starting her own business. Luo Man reminded Chen Kaixi that there would be many challenges during the entrepreneurial process, for example, many people, including family members, would oppose it.

Chen Kaixi also asked Luo Man for advice on choosing a path for her venture. Luo Man gave her two options, and Zhong Qingcheng also suggested that Chen Kaixi create her own brand. If successful, she would own her main jewelry industry. However, while it would be glamorous after success, the probability of failure was also very high. Just then, the housekeeper at home asked Chen Kaixi about the methods for some dishes.

Chen Kaixi easily rattled off a whole set of preparation methods, which made Luo Man and Zhong Qingcheng very envious and also gave Luo Man an idea. Luo Man suggested that Chen Kaixi become a food blogger. Chen Kaixi was very willing after hearing this, as this was exactly the field she was good at. Luo Man and Zhong Qingcheng immediately helped Chen Kaixi start setting up, and they even specifically found a photographer.

Chen Kaixi finished her first food video. In the evening, she asked Chen Mian for his opinion. Chen Mian was very supportive of Chen Kaixi and even offered some practical suggestions. That night, Luo Man stayed up late working on her script. Zhou Musun had sent her messages. Luo Man thought Zhou Musun would return home tomorrow after his business trip, but she didn't expect him to be waiting downstairs at that moment.

Luo Man happily ran downstairs to meet Zhou Musun, and as soon as they met, they hugged each other. The next day, Chen Kaixi sent Luo Man a message. The two best friends boasted to each other about their happiness. Chen Kaixi started working on her second video. However, during the filming of the video, Zhong Qingcheng had a disagreement with the photographer.

Zhong Qingcheng felt that the photographer wasn't shooting very well, saying that it looked like it could make people fall asleep. The photographer was also very unconvinced, feeling that Zhong Qingcheng was not a professional and was not qualified to lead him, and he left angrily. Luo Man watched the video and also felt that the shooting quality was subpar, but when talking to the photographer, she changed her words and also told the photographer about Zhong Qingcheng's efforts.

After hearing this, the photographer's view of Zhong Qingcheng changed. Chen Kaixi took her child out to play and also met other rich wives. She heard that her friend Li Weian was currently in a difficult situation and was very worried. Zhou Musun took Luo Man to a high-end Western restaurant for dinner, but Luo Man's attire was quite unsuitable for the restaurant's atmosphere.

This was because other ladies who came with men were wearing evening gowns, some of which were slightly revealing. Only Luo Man was dressed very conservatively, in something resembling casual sportswear. However, Zhou Musun didn't feel that Luo Man was out of place. Luo Man and Chen Kaixi went for beauty treatments together. Since Luo Man finished first, she waited outside. Just then, the clubhouse needed to conduct a questionnaire survey.

However, the pen the waiter gave Luo Man was out of ink. Suddenly, a lady next to her came in and lent her a pen. Luo Man was surprised when she saw the lady who lent her the pen, because it was exactly Zhou Musun's ex-girlfriend. Luo Man sensed from Chen Kaixi's tone that she wasn't very happy at home, because last night, Chen Mian had proposed breaking up with Chen Kaixi.

Yue Hao was also surprised to hear this, because Chen Kaixi was wholeheartedly devoted to Chen Mian, silently supporting him no matter what decision he made. She didn't expect them to still separate in the end. However, Chen Kaixi didn't want Luo Man to feel sad with her, so she didn't plan to tell her about it. Luo Man also felt deeply about Chen Kaixi's feelings, because once a person grows up, they have to bear many things.

When they were young, they could say whatever was on their mind, but the older they get, some things have to be kept inside. Perhaps this is the price of growing up. Luo Man also recalled that because Zhou Musun had to leave immediately last night, Luo Man originally thought she wouldn't be able to get up because it was too early, but Zhou Musun insisted that Luo Man leave with him, not wanting anyone else to be in the house.
