Luo Man sat on the sofa, tears streaming down her face as she looked at the epidemic situation. Her fingers trembled slightly without her realizing it. She wiped away the tears that slid down the corners of her eyes, feeling incredibly sad. Taking a deep breath, she looked up at the sunlight outside, cherishing her current life immensely. Since Zhong Qingcheng, Luo Man, and Chen Kaixi were all unable to go out, they could only pass the time video chatting.

Luo Man had a couple of drinks, lamenting the difficulty of life, and how the best material indeed comes from life. Now, Gu Qingcheng checks in healthy every day. Chen Kaixi advised Luo Man not to always scroll through online news, or her emotions would fluctuate greatly. While Chen Kaixi verbally told Luo Man to drink less, she couldn't help but suggest having her driver send some good wine over to Luo Man.

As the three of them were chatting, the light in Chen Kaixi's room suddenly went out. Chen Mian immediately came to comfort her, personally going to check for a circuit problem. When the light turned on, Chen Kaixi smiled. During Luo Man's parents' hospitalization, they received meticulous care from Fang Chi. Fang Chi always carefully inquired about their condition, patiently explained the treatment plans for them, and often brought some fruits and small gifts to cheer them up.

Luo Man's parents saw this, and felt warmth in their hearts, and thus started thinking about Fang Chi. They specifically instructed their daughter, suggesting she might try to seize the opportunity to develop a deeper relationship with Fang Chi. Afterwards, her parents even strongly requested that Luo Man have a deep talk with Fang Chi. Luo Man hesitated repeatedly, but still plucked up the courage to send Fang Chi a message, asking him if he already had a girlfriend.

Upon hearing this, Fang Chi's excitement was palpable; he stated directly that the person in his heart must be very independent, capable of supporting him in life and facing difficulties together. Luo Man was gracious and, thinking that her cousin was also of marriageable age, introduced her cousin to Fang Chi. Fang Chi smiled and asked if her cousin's temper wouldn't be as bad as hers, and particularly emphasized that his first impression of Luo Man was excellent.

His words seemed to hide a different kind of affection. On the other side, Zhong Qingcheng's ex-boyfriend managed to contact her, his tone full of anticipation, hoping to meet her. Zhong Qingcheng felt a mix of emotions; past sweetness and pain surged like a tide, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond. Meanwhile, Luo Man went to visit Chen Kaixi's home.

As the two chatted, they mentioned Chen Mian's cousin, Fang Chi, and both lamented that he hadn't met a suitable person yet. However, the peaceful life was quickly broken. Zhong Qingcheng suddenly vomited uncontrollably in the bathroom. Just as she was feeling unwell, a strange number kept calling her. She was full of impatience and casually picked up her phone, unaware that a storm was quietly approaching.

Soon after, a rumor that Zhong Qingcheng had abandoned her father, who had cancer, began to spread wildly online. Public opinion was instantly in an uproar, and netizens accused her of being heartless, unjust, and morally corrupt. Upon hearing the news, Luo Man and Chen Kaixi were burning with anxiety and rushed to Zhong Qingcheng's home. Zhong Qingcheng sat on the sofa, her eyes empty, tears welling up.

For her, she and her mother had depended on each other since childhood; her father had heartlessly abandoned them, and she had never felt the warmth of fatherly love. Now, her father was down and out and suffering from cancer, yet he was attempting to return to her mother and also trying to extort huge sums of money from her.

Those keyboard warriors online who didn't know the truth were arbitrarily accusing her without understanding her past, which made her feel incredibly wronged and angry. Luo Man and Chen Kaixi decided to accompany Zhong Qingcheng to a restaurant to confront her father face-to-face. In the restaurant's private room, the atmosphere was so tense it felt like it could ignite the air. As soon as Zhong's father saw them, he made an exorbitant demand, proposing a million in compensation.

Upon hearing this, Luo Man was immediately furious. She suddenly stood up and severely accused Zhong's father of completely disregarding Zhong Qingcheng's difficult circumstances as a father. It's already not easy for a small actress to struggle in the entertainment industry, so how could she possibly produce such a huge sum of money? But Zhong's father made outrageous claims, threatening to expose his daughter on a TV program and create a city-wide scandal.

Zhong Qingcheng was filled with grief and anger, tears gushing out. She cried, recounting how she had been heartlessly abandoned by her father when she was ten years old. Growing up, her mother had always taught her to rely on herself and never foolishly hope for her father's return.

She questioned her father if he had felt even a shred of remorse over the years, but Zhong's father acted shamelessly in front of everyone, claiming that he was the weak one now and that Zhong Qingcheng had to produce the money no matter what. In fact, Luo Man had already prepared for this. Before meeting Zhong's father, she cleverly hid a voice recorder in the hotel's flower bushes and recorded all of Zhong's father's extortionate words.

Afterwards, she and a lawyer found Zhong's father and played the content of the recording for him to hear. Zhong's father's face instantly turned pale; he hadn't expected his ugly actions to be recorded. Luo Man sternly told him to choose between signing a contract and going to jail. Under compulsion, Zhong's father had no choice but to sign the contract and left unhappily with tens of thousands of yuan.

Luo Man had originally thought that introducing her cousin to Fang Chi would allow her cousin to find a beautiful relationship. But at this moment, her cousin called, pouring out her grievances to Luo Man, saying that Fang Chi was like a blockhead; he would answer if you asked a question, but never proactively speak if not asked, completely perfunctory.

Furthermore, her cousin always felt that he seemed more interested in Luo Man, mentioning Luo Man intentionally or unintentionally in every conversation. When educating her child, Chen Kaixi's attitude was firm, advocating that one should never give up halfway and must cultivate the child's perseverance and sense of responsibility; however, Chen Mian felt that children at the age for playing should go out and play freely to enjoy the happiness of childhood.

The two had a fierce argument over this, neither giving way. Ultimately, Chen Kaixi reluctantly compromised and could only drag her son to continue learning music. Seeing her son's unwilling face, her heart was full of helplessness. On the other side, Luo Man suddenly experienced unbearable abdominal pain. She curled up on the ground, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.

At this moment, she remembered what her father had said to her before: even having one person by her side could provide care at critical moments. At this moment, the first person she thought of was Fang Chi. So she lay on the ground and painstakingly dialed his number. Upon hearing this, Fang Chi was burning with anxiety and rushed over. He picked up Luo Man and quickly headed to the hospital.

Along the way, everything he said implicitly conveyed signals of pursuing her. Upon hearing this, Luo Man was somewhat surprised, and a ripple formed in her heart. Luo Man was diagnosed with abdominal pain caused by hemorrhoids and returned home after the treatment that day. Fang Chi meticulously took care of her while she rested, bringing her tea and water, and occasionally telling jokes to amuse her.

Just then, she received a call from a colleague, demanding that the draft must be submitted tomorrow. However, due to her physical condition, Luo Man was truly unable to complete it herself. Seeing this, Fang Chi had Luo Man dictate while he diligently typed for her next to her. Luo Man began to write the dialogue between the male and female protagonists; the dialogue was full of romance and warmth, yet also humorous and witty.

As Fang Chi listened, he found it somewhat difficult to accept and couldn't hide his smile. After a night of careful editing, he also gained a deeper understanding of female psychology. When Fang Chi left, it was raining heavily outside. Holding an umbrella, he suddenly turned back to look upstairs. Luo Man was standing at the window, looking at Fang Chi. Both of them unconsciously smiled. Luo Man took on a job.

While on a video call, the director was having a video meeting to discuss wanting a doctor to join, but the other party strongly disagreed no matter what. Luo Man saw that the photo was of Fang Chi, smiled, and said she could handle it.
