Midsummer is full of love Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Luo Tianran always dreamed of becoming a composer, believing that every sound in nature holds its own unique melody. Her father often told her she had a special sensitivity to natural rhythms. She found profound musical compositions in the sounds of rushing water, swimming fish, and even swaying seaweed, constantly recording these natural symphonies in hopes of sharing them with him.
One day, her friend Jin Xiaoqin called, excitedly announcing she had secured tickets for Luo Tianran's favorite composer, Zhang Muzhi's concert. Luo Tianran, thrilled, found the tickets on her bookshelf, beneath the record player, and immediately headed to the address. Upon arrival, however, Luo Tianran discovered the venue was not for a classical music concert but a magazine photo shoot for the popular star Jin Zeyi. Confused, she accidentally walked into the camera's view, disrupting the shoot.
The security guards, mistaking her for an overzealous fan, quickly escorted her away. Annoyed, Luo Tianran saw a discarded poster for Zhang Muzhi's concert, which revealed the concert had been on July 1st, while her ticket was dated July 7th. She realized Jin Xiaoqin had played a trick on her. As Luo Tianran prepared to leave, she heard the distinct sound of cicadas.
True to her habit of collecting natural sounds, she pulled out her audio recording pen to capture them. Meanwhile, Jin Zeyi, tired of being paired with his junior Shasha by his agent Tiffany, had stepped away from the set to call Tiffany, expressing his dislike for such publicity stunts. Spotting Luo Tianran with her recording pen, he immediately assumed she was eavesdropping on his private conversation. Jin Zeyi snatched her pen.
Before Luo Tianran could react or retrieve her pen, his assistant, A Tai, blocked her path, allowing Jin Zeyi to leave. Determined to get her pen back, Luo Tianran quickly looked up Jin Zeyi's schedule, finding he had a fan meeting next. Luo Tianran bought one of Jin Zeyi's new albums and joined the long queue for his fan signing session. When she finally reached him, she demanded her recording pen back.
However, the security guards, at Jin Zeyi's instruction, promptly removed her from the event, forbidding her from re-entering. Frustrated, Luo Tianran cursed Jin Zeyi at the entrance, prompting angry fans to confront her. She quickly apologized, picking up the album she had thrown in frustration and kissing it to appease them. She waited outside until the meeting ended, but by the time she woke from a nap, it was already dawn the next day, and the event was long over.
Luo Tianran's mission failed, deepening her negative impression of Jin Zeyi, whom she, like many others, viewed as a talentless celebrity who relied on hype and scandals. Coincidentally, fate intervened, giving Luo Tianran another chance. Jin Zeyi was participating in a reality show where he had to disguise himself as a taxi driver, tasked with being recognized by three passengers within an hour. Luo Tianran, heading home, became his second passenger. At first, neither recognized the other.
Jin Zeyi, urged by the show's staff to start a conversation, played his own new song. Unaware he was the driver, she unflatteringly described Jin Zeyi as ugly and pretentious, then complained about his new song, calling it terrible and demanding he turn it off. Incensed, Jin Zeyi revealed his identity at a red light. Luo Tianran, recognizing him, erupted into a tirade against him for being despicable and stealing her recording pen, during which the in-car recording equipment failed.
Their heated argument continued as Jin Zeyi began driving again. Distracted by their shouting match, he lost focus and crashed the car into a roadside trash can. Both sustained minor injuries and were taken to the hospital. News of the incident quickly spread, and reporters swarmed the hospital entrance. Jin Zeyi, his forehead bruised, blamed Luo Tianran for the accident.
She retorted that his face wasn't "blessed" and if he hadn't stolen her pen in the first place, none of this would have happened. Suddenly, Jin Zeyi remembered the recording pen and searched himself, only to realize he had left it in the taxi. Luo Tianran immediately wanted to go back for it, but Jin Zeyi, fearing more negative publicity, sent A Tai instead.
A Tai returned with a bag of miscellaneous items, including the pink recording pen with USB storage. Unfortunately, Jin Zeyi accidentally stepped on it, crushing it. Luo Tianran was devastated, tears welling up as she explained the pen was a treasured antique left by her father, containing invaluable sound material she had collected. Jin Zeyi, despite his initial gruffness, felt bad seeing her so upset and offered to have it repaired.
Luo Tianran, still fuming, snatched the broken pen and stomped on his foot before fleeing. Later, a repairman confirmed the pen was beyond fixing; its manufacturer had long since closed, and no replacement parts were available. Luo Tianran was heartbroken. On her way home, still upset, Luo Tianran witnessed a man collapse on the street due to an acute peanut allergy, suffering from laryngeal edema.
She quickly called for emergency services, but a man who appeared to be a doctor swiftly intervened, using a pen to perform an intubation, saving the patient's life. After the ambulance took the patient away, Luo Tianran and the man politely bid each other farewell. Luo Tianran then returned to her seaside villa, feeling overwhelmed by the day's events and hoping a hot shower would wash away her bad luck.
Unbeknownst to her, Jin Zeyi, whose previous residence had been exposed by fans, was also moving into a new temporary home: her very own villa. A Tai had arranged it without knowing the owner was still living there. Luo Tianran went to the second-floor bathroom and turned on the faucet, but then realized she forgot her clothes and went back to her room.
Moments later, Jin Zeyi walked through the second floor, heard the running water, and, finding no one, simply turned off the faucet, completely unaware he had just narrowly missed the villa's true owner.
Episode 2 Recap
Luo Tianran, in a daze after her shower, was puzzled about the faucet she thought she had turned off. She returned to her room to compose, but later that night, decided to get a snack. As she went downstairs, she hummed a song. Jin Zeyi, who was sleeping upstairs, heard the singing and thought his house was haunted. He cautiously descended to investigate.
Meanwhile, Luo Tianran, hearing some strange noises, grabbed a toy dog for protection and also headed to the living room. Jin Zeyi, convinced of a ghostly presence, hid in a tent and attempted to call Tiffany, his agent, asking if the house she found for him was haunted, mentioning the singing and missing food. Unable to reach her, he sent a WeChat message.
In the dim light, Luo Tianran located Jin Zeyi and, mistaking him for a burglar, began hitting him with the toy dog. Jin Zeyi quickly turned on the lights, revealing their identities. They immediately began arguing over who owned the house. Jin Zeyi, with a touch of narcissism, insisted Luo Tianran was a stalker fan who had orchestrated their encounters to get his attention. Luo Tianran challenged him to prove it was his house, but he had no evidence.
She, in turn, showed him a photo of herself with her father and pointed to the names "Luo Tianran's Home" carved on the wall. She explained that she was writing a song for her father on the wall, but he had passed away before she could finish it. A flicker of sympathy crossed Jin Zeyi's face. Seizing the moment, Luo Tianran cunningly suggested he go outside to see the unfinished song.
As soon as he stepped out, she locked him out. Despite his pleas to open the door, she refused. To make matters worse, a heavy rain began, leaving Jin Zeyi shivering outside. The next morning, Luo Tianran discovered a suitcase full of men's clothes in her home, reminding her of the previous night's intruder. She then found Jin Zeyi shivering in the doghouse on the front lawn, clearly unwell.
Realizing the celebrity was suffering, she took a photo of him, then offered to take him to the hospital. Jin Zeyi refused, fearing paparazzi, so Luo Tianran brought him inside instead and kindly made him some rice gruel. She then told him to leave once he felt better, prompting Jin Zeyi to again claim the house was his. Just then, the doorbell rang. It was Tiffany, Jin Zeyi's agent, who arrived with a dog named Erlang Shen.
Tiffany immediately inquired about Jin Zeyi's health, noticing Luo Tianran's presence with a hint of disapproval. Assuming Tiffany was Jin Zeyi's girlfriend, Luo Tianran watched as Tiffany formally introduced herself as Jin Zeyi's agent. Tiffany then took Luo Tianran outside to discuss the house situation, where she showed her the property ownership certificate and the house purchase contract. To Luo Tianran's shock, the contract listed Jin Xiaoqin as the vendor and Jin Zeyi as the vendee.
Luo Tianran, who had lived there since childhood, couldn't believe her friend Jin Xiaoqin would sell her house. Tiffany, however, asserted that all the documents were legitimate and that Luo Tianran had signed a power of attorney, which Jin Xiaoqin used to legally sell the house to Jin Zeyi.
Jin Zeyi, feeling the house had a "complicated" background, questioned Tiffany's choice, but she defended it by reminding him of his stringent requirements for a secluded, modern house with large French windows. Tiffany then gave Jin Zeyi medicine and advised him to rest. Luo Tianran, now understanding the situation, left the house. Unable to reach Jin Xiaoqin by phone, Luo Tianran called their mutual friend, Lin Che, who was operating his mobile cafe.
Luo Tianran asked Lin Che to bring Jin Xiaoqin to the boxing gym. At the gym, upon seeing Luo Tianran, Jin Xiaoqin tried to flee but was stopped. Luo Tianran angrily confronted her, blaming her for making her homeless. Jin Xiaoqin weakly defended herself, claiming Luo Tianran had signed the Power of Attorney for Mortgage Authorization while drunk. A flashback revealed that Jin Xiaoqin had indeed gotten Luo Tianran drunk during a dinner, then convinced her to sign the document.
Jin Xiaoqin explained that her younger brother had incurred massive stock market debts. Luo Tianran was furious that Jin Xiaoqin had also used the remaining money to buy expensive clothes and bags for her job as a purchasing agent, and began punching her with boxing gloves.
Devastated because the house was her childhood home, filled with precious memories of her father, and her only refuge, Luo Tianran suddenly remembered a box of cassettes her father had left for her, still inside. Now homeless and desperate, Luo Tianran returned to her house. She demanded Jin Zeyi open the door so she could retrieve her father's legacy—a box of cassettes from the greenhouse.
Jin Zeyi, suspecting it was an excuse to stay, told her to look in the garbage. However, when Luo Tianran actually started searching through the bins, he softened and allowed her to come upstairs to look, instructing her to take off her shoes. After she retrieved her cassettes, Luo Tianran saw Jin Zeyi using her usual mug and told him to use another.
She then noticed his renovation plans and vehemently forbade him from redecorating, explaining that her father had designed the house to commemorate her mother and that it was now her only connection to her deceased father. Jin Zeyi argued it was unfair, stating that everything in the house now belonged to him. Luo Tianran offered to pay him back for the house using the copyrights from her future musical compositions.
Jin Zeyi ignored her, pushing her and her belongings out the door. He told her not to come back, calling her ungrateful. Luo Tianran, frustrated, commented on Jin Zeyi's lack of chivalry. Later, Luo Tianran waited for Jin Zeyi to leave the house, then secretly used a spare key she found in the greenhouse to re-enter. When Jin Zeyi returned that night, he found Luo Tianran asleep on the living room sofa.
He immediately woke her, ordering her to pack her belongings and leave. Luo Tianran reluctantly began to pack but then had a sudden idea. She sat next to Jin Zeyi and declared that she would not be leaving. She revealed that she had taken a photo of him in his dishevelled state in the doghouse. Panicked at the thought of such an image damaging his reputation, Jin Zeyi lunged for her phone.
They struggled on the sofa, one trying to grab the phone, the other trying to evade, completely unaware that their every move was being captured by paparazzi hiding outside, peering through the large French windows.
Episode 3 Recap
Luo Tianran still possessed the embarrassing photos of Jin Zeyi sleeping in the doghouse. Using these as leverage, she managed to keep him from snatching her phone. Jin Zeyi, left with no other choice, reluctantly agreed to let her stay for another half month, giving her time to find new accommodations. However, Jin Zeyi had just moved into a new apartment and hadn't yet installed blackout curtains. This oversight allowed persistent paparazzi to capture intimate photos of the two.
The resulting scandal immediately topped trending topics, and Luo Tianran was recognized by many customers while working at a convenience store. Distraught by the negative public perception, Luo Tianran returned home to confront Jin Zeyi, accusing him of being the reason for the widespread criticism, as netizens primarily blamed her. Jin Zeyi retorted that the only reason he was letting her stay was the leverage she held with the doghouse photos.
Just then, his agent Tiffany and assistant A Tai arrived. Jin Zeyi quickly urged Luo Tianran to hide in a cabinet. Tiffany, having noted Jin Zeyi's recent loss of 500,000 followers, proposed a public relations solution involving him forming a "couple" with fellow artist Cheng Shasha. Jin Zeyi was averse to such hype, but before he could argue further, Luo Tianran, feeling stifled, emerged from the cabinet.
After a tense exchange, Tiffany instructed A Tai to prevent Luo Tianran from leaving, who comically used a mosquito swatter to guard her, while she went to handle the PR crisis. Meanwhile, Jin Wen, Jin Zeyi's father and a renowned hospital director and surgeon, received an invitation from Tiffany for the celebration party for Jin Zeyi's Asian concert tour.
Despite disapproving of his son's music career, he decided to attend, bringing along his protégé Yun Shu, a talented doctor who had recently returned from abroad to work at his hospital. Additionally, Jin Wen invited Meng Meng, his old friend's daughter and another childhood acquaintance of Jin Zeyi, who harbored a long-standing affection for him. At Jin Zeyi's apartment, Luo Tianran stumbled upon an invitation to the celebration party.
Initially uninterested, her eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Muzhi's name on the guest list, revealing him to be her lifelong idol. Luo Tianran immediately tried to persuade Jin Zeyi to take her to the event, showering him with attention, including cooking a meal for him. Jin Zeyi savored the food but playfully refused her request, stating he wanted her life to be "filled with regrets."
Frustrated, Luo Tianran spitefully gave Jin Zeyi's portion of food to his dog, Erlang Shen. As Jin Zeyi left for the party, he scoffed at Luo Tianran's musical composition. Undeterred, Luo Tianran resolved to attend the party on her own, noting the venue, the Longview Hotel. Upon arriving at the Longview Hotel, Luo Tianran found the main entrance heavily guarded. Without an invitation, she was promptly turned away by security.
Disregarding the attention from bystanders who recognized her from the news, she decided to seek an alternative entry point from the hotel's rear. While attempting to bypass security, she unexpectedly encountered Yun Shu, who had stepped out to take a call from the hospital. Recognizing her from their previous encounter and noticing her attempts to enter, Yun Shu offered to bring her inside.
Overjoyed, Luo Tianran briefly introduced herself as Tianran, while Yun Shu introduced himself, before she eagerly rushed off to find Zhang Muzhi. Inside the banquet hall, Luo Tianran spotted Zhang Muzhi. She approached him with a poster from his previous concert and successfully obtained his autograph. However, her moment was cut short as security swiftly identified her as an unauthorized fan and escorted her out of the venue.
In another area of the hotel, Jin Zeyi greeted his parents, Jin Wen and his wife. Jin Wen, still pushing for his son to take over the hospital, praised Yun Shu's dedication to the medical field and introduced Meng Meng, a successful fashion designer, highlighting her talents and hinting at a potential match. Annoyed by his father's persistence, Jin Zeyi made an excuse to leave.
He briefly encountered Luo Tianran, who had just been escorted from the main hall, but she largely ignored him. Soon after, Tiffany found Jin Zeyi to prepare him for a media interview. To his surprise, Cheng Shasha joined him. During the interview, Cheng Shasha made ambiguous statements, leading the media to believe she was Jin Zeyi's official girlfriend. The celebration party buzzed with media, all eager for details about Jin Zeyi's personal life.
Journalists relentlessly questioned him about whether he would disclose a relationship if he had a girlfriend. Jin Zeyi realized that if he did nothing, the next day's headlines would be dominated by rumors of him and Cheng Shasha. He also reflected on his parents' clear attempts to set him up with Meng Meng, making him feel like he was "meat on a chopping block."
Looking at Luo Tianran, who was chatting with Yun Shu in the distance, Jin Zeyi suddenly had a bold idea. He remembered how Luo Tianran had genuinely cared for him when he was sick, contrasting her practical kindness with the calculated public image of Cheng Shasha and the parental expectations tied to Meng Meng.
Under the glare of countless camera flashes, Jin Zeyi abruptly released Cheng Shasha's hand, walked directly to Luo Tianran, took her hand, and astonishingly declared to all gathered that she was his fiancée. Before Luo Tianran could even react, Jin Zeyi cupped her face and kissed her.
Episode 4 Recap
Luo Tianran's life took a drastic turn overnight, with everyone believing she had soared to new heights, yet she deeply resisted the change. The next morning, she felt particularly wronged by Jin Zeyi's public kiss and declaration. To vent her frustration, she used his toothbrush to brush her dog Erlang Shen's teeth. Afterward, feeling a pang of guilt, she promptly threw the toothbrush into the trash.
She then confronted Jin Zeyi, demanding an explanation and asking what their next step would be. Jin Zeyi proposed marriage, which Luo Tianran vehemently rejected. She asserted that she only had an economic dispute with him and found him to be incredibly selfish, even regretting having cared for him when he had a fever. She retreated to her room, locking Jin Zeyi out.
From outside, Jin Zeyi taunted her, claiming many women would leap at the chance to be his wife, to which Luo Tianran retorted that she was not one of them.
He then called her a "silly goose" and used her house as leverage, proposing a deal: she would act as his wife, they would solve their current predicament, then divorce, and he would return her beloved house, 'Full House,' which her father had designed for her mother as a testament to their love. Meanwhile, Jin Zeyi's manager, Tiffany, was in a frenzy, receiving contract termination letters from various brands concerned about the romantic rumors.
She instructed her assistant, Tai, to issue a press release clarifying that Jin Zeyi's actions were just a joke. However, Jin Zeyi intervened, abruptly stating his intention to marry Luo Tianran directly, believing it was the best way to end the constant stream of romantic rumors and present himself as a serious musician. Tiffany was astonished by his decision to get married at the peak of his career.
The news of Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's impending marriage quickly became a Weibo trending topic. Luo Tianran's friend, Jin Xiaoqin, immediately called her, initially upset about finding out through entertainment news. Luo Tianran clarified she was not pregnant or in a relationship with him. Jin Xiaoqin, however, was thrilled, seeing it as a golden opportunity.
She encouraged Luo Tianran to marry Jin Zeyi, highlighting his status as the nation's most handsome male idol and suggesting she could open a shop or become an internet celebrity. Her other friend, Lin Che, expressed concern, questioning how Luo Tianran could marry someone she didn't love and warning of potential unhappiness. Overwhelmed by their differing opinions, Luo Tianran asked for time alone to think. Later, Tiffany met with Luo Tianran to formalize the arrangement.
She explained that Jin Zeyi sought a nominal marriage to avoid unnecessary troubles and focus on his music. Tiffany proposed a contract marriage, promising to arrange everything, including the divorce once the public interest subsided, and to ensure the house was returned to Luo Tianran. She also emphasized the need for a prenuptial agreement to protect their individual assets and warned Luo Tianran against developing genuine feelings for Jin Zeyi.
Recalling precious memories with her father in the house, Luo Tianran decided to accept the offer to reclaim her home. Upon returning home, Luo Tianran presented Jin Zeyi with the prenuptial agreement. The agreement stipulated a one-year marriage, after which Jin Zeyi would transfer 'Full House' to Luo Tianran without charge. It also prohibited "crossing the line" behavior, stating that any violation by Jin Zeyi would automatically terminate the agreement, with the house still reverting to Luo Tianran.
Both parties were to respect each other's living habits and provide mutual assistance in work-related matters. Jin Zeyi added a crucial clause: the nature of their contract marriage must remain a secret, or the agreement would be terminated, and the house would go to the other party. Meanwhile, Jin Xiaoqin, fueled by the upcoming marriage, began to fantasize about her own financial gains.
She envisioned her "Heart-racing food truck" expanding into a national chain and herself becoming a super salesperson with Jin Zeyi's star power promoting her products. Lin Che, however, urged her not to burden Luo Tianran and to focus on earning money to repay their own debts. For the engagement press conference, Jin Zeyi's team meticulously prepared Luo Tianran, transforming her appearance, which even surprised Jin Zeyi himself.
Just before stepping out, Luo Tianran became nervous, but Jin Zeyi calmly reassured her and offered his arm. At the event, they were met by a swarm of media. When asked what drew them to each other, Jin Zeyi declared it "love at first sight," stating he wouldn't consider anyone else after meeting Luo Tianran. Luo Tianran, in turn, subtly ridiculed him, describing his exaggerated facial expressions when angry as "cute" and even suggesting he demonstrate.
Jin Zeyi retaliated by describing Luo Tianran as having an "indomitable spirit" despite being tone-deaf and knowing nothing about music, ultimately comparing her to a "silly goose." Despite their internal bickering, their exchange appeared as playful banter to the media. Following the press conference, their marriage was finalized. They proceeded to get their marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Tiffany took full charge of planning their wedding, which was set for three days later.
As the wedding day approached, Tiffany helped Luo Tianran select a magnificent wedding dress, a limited-edition design by Lan Yu, despite the shop assistant initially thinking Tiffany was choosing for herself. When Jin Zeyi called Luo Tianran, he found she wasn't home. She vaguely mentioned being on Zhongshan Road, which immediately told Jin Zeyi she was with his family. Indeed, Luo Tianran was at the Jin family home.
She nervously attempted to introduce herself to Jin Zeyi's grandmother, stumbling over her height and weight, while Jin Wen observed from upstairs. When asked about her parents, Luo Tianran shared that both her father, an architectural engineer, and her mother, a violinist, had passed away. Hearing this, Jin Zeyi's grandmother and mother showed sympathy and invited her to sit. Just then, Jin Zeyi arrived, warmly embracing his grandmother.
However, he immediately clashed with his father, Jin Wen, who sternly admonished him for making such a significant decision as marriage without consulting the family. Jin Zeyi retorted, refusing to let his father interfere in his life again. He quickly pulled Luo Tianran and, after a brief farewell to his grandmother, left. On the drive back, Jin Zeyi told Luo Tianran not to take his father's harsh attitude to heart.
Luo Tianran, however, found his remark strange, pointing out the striking similarity between Jin Zeyi and his father, from their appearance to their bad tempers, noting how they both spoke harshly without regard for others' feelings. This comment seemed to strike a nerve with Jin Zeyi, who angrily told her to shut up. When she persisted, advising him to get along with his family, Jin Zeyi became even more enraged. He abruptly pulled the car over and ordered her to get out. Luo Tianran resisted, questioning why she should, but Jin Zeyi insisted she leave the car.
Episode 5 Recap
Infuriated by Luo Tianran's meddling in his family affairs, Jin Zeyi abruptly pulled over and left her on the roadside, driving away without a word. Luo Tianran, realizing too late that she had left her bag and phone in his car, found herself lost and wandered aimlessly until her feet were sore and blistered. By chance, she stumbled upon Yun Shu near the hospital where he worked.
Sensing an unusual connection, Yun Shu kindly offered to take her home and even showed her how to use tissues to cushion her injured foot, which she appreciated greatly. Luo Tianran lamented that if Jin Zeyi possessed even a tenth of Yun Shu's kindness, her life wouldn't be so difficult. Though Jin Zeyi turned back to look for Luo Tianran shortly after leaving, he missed her.
He returned home in a huff, only to be confronted by a barrage of news reports about women being robbed or involved in accidents late at night. Worried about "that silly goose," Luo Tianran, he went back out to search for her. As he left, Yun Shu was just dropping Luo Tianran off at her place.
Having decided she wouldn't go through with the wedding, Luo Tianran quickly retrieved her luggage and headed to her friends, Jin Xiaoqin and Lin Che’s, place. Luo Tianran, in a foul mood, drank heavily and repeatedly declared her refusal to marry. Xiaoqin tried to console her, agreeing with her sentiments. However, once Luo Tianran passed out, Xiaoqin’s true intentions emerged.
She reasoned that a wedding with a man of Jin Zeyi's status was a dream for many, and if Luo Tianran backed out, Jin Zeyi's people wouldn't let her off easily, especially since the wedding invitations had already been sent. Lin Che, prioritizing Luo Tianran's feelings, tried to interject, but Xiaoqin had a counter-argument for everything, leaving him with no room to object. Xiaoqin then decided to literally drag the unconscious Luo Tianran to the wedding venue.
The next morning, Jin Zeyi discovered a note in Luo Tianran’s room, a curse wishing him to stay single forever. He immediately called Tiffany, the chief coordinator at the wedding venue, who promptly issued an order to postpone the ceremony. Jin Zeyi rushed to the site, but even as the wedding was about to begin, Luo Tianran was nowhere to be found. Guests began to whisper, some questioning the legitimacy of the wedding.
Just as things were about to spiral out of control, Jin Xiaoqin arrived, pulling a reluctant Luo Tianran, who was already in her wedding dress, into the venue. The wedding commenced, and Jin Zeyi readily affirmed his "I do," and Luo Tianran followed suit. While the wedding concluded successfully, Tiffany was later reprimanded by her superior, Mr. Shi, for the delay.
Annoyed, Tiffany spotted Lin Che's milk tea stand and, upon learning he was Luo Tianran's friend, tore up Luo Tianran's photos and kicked his car before tossing him some money and leaving. Following the wedding, Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi were required to film a series of advertisements, leveraging their new status as a married couple. Their first assignment was a honeymoon travel advertisement, set in a vast grassland with a hot air balloon that read "Tomato Music Festival."
Though their interactions were typically full of bickering, their playful disputes often appeared as affectionate banter to outsiders, resulting in excellent on-screen chemistry. The ad director even commented on how genuinely in love they appeared, dispelling rumors of a fake relationship. That evening, the ad agency booked only one large suite for the "newlyweds" at a resort hotel. Luo Tianran refused to share a room with Jin Zeyi, asserting her intention to sleep on the balcony.
However, the abundance of mosquitoes quickly drove her back inside, where she demanded to sleep on the sofa. Jin Zeyi, showing no mercy, rebuffed her. Angered by the mosquitoes and Jin Zeyi’s dismissiveness, Luo Tianran cunningly waited for him to fall asleep before sneaking into the room and climbing onto the bed beside him. Jin Zeyi initially suspected Luo Tianran had ulterior motives, only to discover she merely wanted to force him onto the sofa.
A battle of wills ensued, with Luo Tianran even mimicking Jin Zeyi by taking off her socks when he did. However, when Jin Zeyi went a step further and started to remove his pants, a shocked Luo Tianran fled back to the mosquito-ridden balcony. The next day, the pair filmed a diamond ring advertisement. During a scene involving a water spray, Jin Zeyi mischievously pushed Luo Tianran into the path of the water.
Luo Tianran immediately chased after him, playfully swatting him. Their spirited chase and laughter made them look like a truly affectionate couple, convincing the crew that their on-screen chemistry was genuine. After the photoshoot concluded, they were tasked with inventorying and returning all the sponsored jewelry. As Luo Tianran counted the items, she discovered the female diamond ring was missing. Realizing it must have fallen off during their playful chase, she hurried back to search for it.
Episode 6 Recap
Luo Tianran returned to the grassy area to search for the diamond ring, with Jin Zeyi following her but choosing to fish nearby instead of helping. Tiffany called Jin Zeyi, furious about the lost ring and questioning how he would resolve the issue.
Jin Zeyi casually offered to pay for it, taking responsibility for Luo Tianran, but Tiffany chastised him severely, stating that losing an international brand's product would damage his reputation and make other brands unwilling to collaborate with him. Meanwhile, Luo Tianran was independently looking up the ring's price online and was shocked to discover it was worth two million yuan. Realizing she could never repay such an amount, she became even more determined to find it.
Despite Jin Zeyi's attempts to persuade her, Luo Tianran insisted on staying on the grass to continue her search. Jin Zeyi eventually returned to the hotel, leaving the door unlocked for her. Luo Tianran indeed searched all night, while Jin Zeyi himself endured a night battling mosquitoes, waking up with a large bite mark on his face. He went back to the grass and found Luo Tianran still meticulously searching.
Unable to watch any longer, he approached her and lied, claiming he had just learned the diamond ring was fake and only cost one thousand yuan. Although Luo Tianran found one thousand yuan expensive, she was relieved and agreed to stop searching, promising to pay the sponsor back when she received her monthly salary. Jin Zeyi was relieved that this white lie had finally stopped her relentless search.
The next day, during the filming of a commercial at a horse farm, Jin Zeyi struggled with riding and almost made a fool of himself. Luo Tianran, noticing his discomfort, stepped forward and skillfully calmed the horse. Afterward, Jin Zeyi thanked her and asked how she knew what to do. Luo Tianran explained that she grew up in the north, and her father frequently took her to horse farms, making her familiar with horses.
Despite the earlier lie about the ring's value, Luo Tianran still harbored a desire to find it. During a break in the commercial shoot, she resumed her search and this time successfully found the diamond ring. Overjoyed, she immediately showed it to Jin Zeyi, declaring her intention to buy it as a personal gift for herself.
Jin Zeyi, feeling awkward about revealing the ring's true value and not wanting to disappoint her, accepted her thousand-yuan transfer and promised to give it to the sponsor on her behalf. He then advised her to wear the ring cautiously in public, lest someone mistake it for a real one and attempt to steal it. That evening, Luo Tianran heard about a nearby Tomato Music Festival and wanted to attend during their break.
Jin Zeyi reminded her that they were still working. Luo Tianran tried to convince him to go with her, and Jin Zeyi was tempted, admitting he hadn't been to a music festival since his debut, his freedom now dedicated to his career. However, their conversation was overheard by A Tai, who promptly reported their plans to Tiffany. With Tiffany aware, their trip to the music festival was canceled.
Instead, Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran ended up sitting on recliners, enjoying the moonlight. During their conversation, Luo Tianran commented that the wind seemed to have a rhythm. This observation deeply impressed Jin Zeyi. Upon their return, he decided to test her musical ear, discovering she possessed perfect pitch, an ability to identify the precise pitch of any sound without a reference tone.
While Luo Tianran had always aspired to be a composer, she had yet to produce any truly significant pieces, making this the first time she had received such a high musical evaluation. Luo Tianran mused that this talent likely came from her mother, whom she remembered as a highly skilled violinist. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a production company, expressing interest in her musical demo and inviting her for a meeting the following day to discuss a potential contract.
Luo Tianran was ecstatic. Jin Zeyi, feigning disinterest, then unexpectedly offered to treat her to dinner the next evening to celebrate. Luo Tianran eagerly suggested Peking duck and spaghetti. Jin Zeyi initially dismissed her choices as too greasy, but as soon as she went upstairs, he called A Tai and instructed him to book a restaurant that served both dishes for their celebratory dinner. The next day, Luo Tianran arrived at the production company for her meeting.
To her disappointment, she discovered that the company's interest stemmed from Jin Zeyi's fame; they wanted her to add his name to her song's credits to leverage his popularity for promotion. Luo Tianran firmly rejected the proposal, unwilling to rely on Jin Zeyi's influence, recognizing that their "marriage contract" was merely a professional arrangement and that she needed to be self-reliant in her career.
Later, Luo Tianran arrived at the mall, waiting for their dinner, but Jin Zeyi called to say he would be late. Unbeknownst to Luo Tianran, Tiffany had taken Jin Zeyi to a restaurant for a surprise celebration commemorating their seven years of collaboration. They shared a polite embrace.
Although Jin Zeyi was mindful of his dinner plans with Luo Tianran, his attention was completely captivated when Tiffany revealed exciting news: he would be allowed to sing his own compositions and personally select guest artists for his upcoming world tour concert. Seizing the moment while Jin Zeyi was distracted, Tiffany hung up his incoming call from Luo Tianran and then guided him towards a group of industry colleagues to socialize.
Episode 7 Recap
Jin Zeyi had planned to treat Luo Tianran to dinner, but Tiffany kept him for their seven-year collaboration anniversary celebration, leading him to a social engagement. Luo Tianran waited for Jin Zeyi at Xinghuo Road Shopping Mall until midnight, and when the mall closed, she had to leave hungry. Jin Zeyi's phone had died during the engagement.
After he finished, he instructed A Tai to drive Tiffany home, then took a taxi to the mall, but he couldn't find Luo Tianran. Upon returning home, Jin Zeyi found Luo Tianran cooking. She immediately confronted him, demanding an explanation for standing her up and not even calling.
Jin Zeyi, feeling tired and a bit tipsy, and sensing Luo Tianran's lack of understanding for his forced social obligations, retorted that she had no right to question his affairs, stating that how he spent his nights was none of her business as they were not a real couple. Luo Tianran, furious, declared she wouldn't forgive him. The next morning, Jin Zeyi found the meal Luo Tianran had prepared.
She then presented him with a meticulously crafted schedule, explaining that as contract partners, they should avoid interfering with each other's lives. She outlined specific times for kitchen and living room use, expecting him to stay in his room during those hours. Jin Zeyi dismissed the schedule but complimented her cooking. Luo Tianran left the house after giving him the schedule. She went to a record store, where she coincidentally met Yun Shu.
They discovered a shared interest in music, particularly Nick's first album, which was a rare, reserved item. Yun Shu had secured the album after much effort but, upon seeing Luo Tianran's keen interest, generously gave it to her, insisting that as fellow music lovers, he couldn't deprive her. To express her gratitude, Luo Tianran invited Yun Shu to lunch. Unexpectedly, they ran into Jin Zeyi, who was dining with friends and happened to be one of the restaurant's owners.
Seeing Luo Tianran with Yun Shu, Jin Zeyi immediately abandoned his friends and intruded on their table, taking Luo Tianran's hand and repeatedly calling her "honey" to emphasize their closeness. He then arbitrarily ordered a lavish meal for them, including ham with cantaloupe, Australian scallop, chicken wings, filet steak, and two mango sago desserts.
Despite Jin Zeyi's attempts to dominate the conversation and remove a decorative flower he deemed "in the way," Luo Tianran and Yun Shu continued to chat comfortably. Luo Tianran even praised Yun Shu's previous heroic act in saving a patient, recalling how "awesome" he was. Jin Zeyi, feeling jealous, feigned a sudden urgent family matter.
He went to the restroom, then returned to inform Luo Tianran that his mother had called, claiming their grandmother was seriously ill and urging them to rush home. Luo Tianran, who deeply valued elders due to losing her parents early, immediately grew worried and insisted they leave. Jin Zeyi quickly pulled Luo Tianran away, heartlessly dismissing Yun Shu's offer to join them.
Outside the restaurant, Jin Zeyi tried to convince Luo Tianran to eat elsewhere, but she, solely focused on their grandmother's supposed illness, scolded him for his lack of concern. Under her persistent demands, Jin Zeyi reluctantly drove them to his parents' house. Upon entering, Luo Tianran immediately approached her grandmother, anxiously asking about her health.
The grandmother, who had only sneezed a couple of times due to Jin Zeyi's nagging, was perfectly fine and, misunderstanding Luo Tianran's frantic concern, thought she was cursing her. Luo Tianran, seeing her grandmother's healthy demeanor, realized Jin Zeyi had lied. Caught in his deception, Jin Zeyi stopped pretending.
As they prepared to leave, Jin Zeyi's mother asked Luo Tianran to be patient with Jin Zeyi's childlike behavior and sternly warned her son not to play such jokes again, especially considering their grandmother's age. Jin Zeyi was deep in rehearsals for his world tour concert, training rigorously every day. One afternoon, lunch was delivered to the rehearsal studio, and it turned out Luo Tianran was the delivery person. Despite her mask, Jin Zeyi recognized her.
He chased after her, demanding she quit her job, arguing that it was embarrassing for him as her husband. Luo Tianran retorted that earning money through honest labor was nothing to be ashamed of and that Jin Zeyi, living a sheltered life, wouldn't understand the struggles of ordinary people. Ignoring his protests, she left. News quickly spread among the staff that Jin Zeyi's wife was delivering takeout.
Reflecting on Luo Tianran's words about his lack of understanding for common hardships, Jin Zeyi decided to experience it himself. He visited the themed restaurant where Luo Tianran worked, observing her interacting with many children. The children adored Luo Tianran, and one young boy even claimed her as his girlfriend. Jin Zeyi then ordered a meal and declared his intention to "experience the life of ordinary people."
Luo Tianran promptly handed him an apron and put him in charge of the children. Jin Zeyi struggled to manage the energetic children and soon sought Luo Tianran's help. Together, they played "eagle and chickens," with Luo Tianran as the "chicken mother" and Jin Zeyi as the "fierce eagle." During the game, inevitable close contact occurred, and at one point, Luo Tianran stumbled, causing them to fall into an embrace. The children, quick to tease, cheered "Blush! Blush!"
The little boy who claimed Luo Tianran as his girlfriend reiterated it, prompting Jin Zeyi to produce their wedding photo, proudly declaring Luo Tianran his wife and that she was already married. When the boy started crying, Luo Tianran intervened, and Jin Zeyi quickly relented, telling the child he could have her.
Episode 8 Recap
Luo Tianran had not yet properly thanked Yun Shu for kindly giving her the rare music album during their last brief encounter at the restaurant. She planned to invite him to dinner that weekend, but Yun Shu suggested taking her somewhere special instead, promising she would love it. He took her to a horse culture museum. As Yun Shu expected, Luo Tianran was captivated by the experience.
She admired the large Falabella, Bronas, Budyonny, Gelderland, Shire, and Oldenburg horses, and learned about their histories from Yun Shu. She also saw paintings depicting Napoléon's triumphant return and hunting scenes, and marvelled at the exquisite vintage carriages, including a special one designed for weddings with both Chinese and Western features. Luo Tianran found the horse-riding musicians' painted pottery figurines from the Tang Dynasty particularly charming, and Yun Shu shared poems praising horses from that era.
Luo Tianran expressed her awe at Yun Shu's extensive knowledge. Yun Shu offered to bring her back more often if she liked it, and she enthusiastically agreed. After the museum, Yun Shu led Luo Tianran to a beautiful flower garden, a place he thought of when she mentioned her love for collecting sounds of nature. He hoped it would inspire her music. Luo Tianran was deeply grateful and collected many sound materials.
While there, Yun Shu confided that Luo Tianran reminded him of a pure-hearted, kind person who loved music, someone who had cheered him up during a difficult time many years ago. Luo Tianran replied that fate would bring them together if it was meant to be. They spent the day together until late. At home, Jin Zeyi grew impatient, unable to interfere with Luo Tianran's activities. After Luo Tianran went to rest, Jin Zeyi noticed her laptop was still on.
He casually opened a recording from the flower garden. He heard Yun Shu's voice suggesting she could return to that spot next time she wanted to record. Jin Zeyi's jealousy flared, and he angrily slammed the laptop shut, feeling very uneasy. The next day, as Luo Tianran focused on composing, Jin Zeyi intentionally disrupted her, teasing her and loudly playing the drums. Luo Tianran, annoyed, told him to leave her alone.
Jin Zeyi then went to swim in the rooftop pool, visible to Luo Tianran through the glass ceiling. Annoyed by his antics, Luo Tianran eventually went upstairs to confront him. He persisted, commenting on her musical notation. When she finally lost her patience, she accused him of being a pervert and asked him to be quiet while she worked on an important piece.
Jin Zeyi retorted that her "important" music sounded like cheesy pop songs, to which Luo Tianran defended that such songs were popular and that he was pretentious for judging music as noble or vulgar. At that moment, Jin Xiaoqin called Luo Tianran, explaining that her fast-food truck business was very busy and asking for help. Luo Tianran readily agreed. Jin Zeyi, overhearing, immediately assumed it was Yun Shu calling again.
He sternly reminded Luo Tianran that she was a married woman, implying she should be careful not to make it seem like his wife was misbehaving. Luo Tianran retorted, asking if being married meant she couldn't help a friend with their business. Realizing it was Jin Xiaoqin, Jin Zeyi allowed it but stubbornly insisted Luo Tianran prepare a full meal for him before he returned from the company. Luo Tianran, frustrated by his lack of conscience, agreed.
On his way to the company, Jin Zeyi drove past Jin Xiaoqin's food truck, noticing it was not busy at all. He approached Jin Xiaoqin, who revealed that today was Luo Tianran's birthday, and they had concocted the busy business story to surprise her. Upon learning the truth, Jin Zeyi immediately called Luo Tianran, telling her to stop cooking and hurry to the food truck, lying that Jin Xiaoqin was sick. Luo Tianran, concerned, quickly dropped her cooking to leave.
Jin Zeyi then went to a shopping mall, where he purchased an expensive vintage polaroid camera and a bouquet of flowers as birthday gifts for Luo Tianran. Before Luo Tianran could leave for the food truck, Yun Shu called, wanting to introduce a renowned music producer to her. This was a major opportunity for her musical aspirations, so Luo Tianran enthusiastically accepted. She then called Lin Che, asking him to check on Jin Xiaoqin for her.
Little did she know, the producer Yun Shu was introducing was her long-admired idol, Mr. Xiaosa. She met them at a wedding dress shop, surprised that her idol owned such a business. After listening to Luo Tianran's compositions, Mr. Xiaosa found them unique and pure, like a child's casual humming, and expressed his strong interest in collaborating with her.
Luo Tianran was ecstatic, feeling it was the best birthday gift she could have received, and asked Yun Shu to take a picture of her with Mr. Xiaosa. Meanwhile, Jin Zeyi arrived at the food truck with his gifts but couldn't find Luo Tianran. Jin Xiaoqin told him that Luo Tianran usually went to the amusement park every year for her birthday. Jin Zeyi immediately headed to the amusement park, despite the risk of drawing attention.
Although he attempted various disguises, he was quickly recognized and surrounded by throngs of fans, forcing him to keep running. Despite searching extensively, he couldn't find Luo Tianran anywhere. Exhausted, he called A Tai to pick him up. News of Jin Zeyi's appearance at the amusement park quickly became a trending topic online, which Luo Tianran saw while at home. Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran returned home one after the other.
Learning that Jin Zeyi had gone to the amusement park to look for her, Luo Tianran felt a hint of pleasure. She told him she hadn't visited the park this year and lamented that she probably wouldn't get the chance. Jin Zeyi then prepared a bowl of long-life noodles for her. Although he jokingly claimed it was for himself, he diligently added salt when she noted it was bland.
After dinner, as the amusement park was closed, Jin Zeyi told Luo Tianran he would take her somewhere even more fun. He led her to an ice skating rink. Luo Tianran, skating for the first time, struggled comically. Jin Zeyi initially teased her relentlessly, but seeing her genuinely disheartened, he stopped joking, offered her a hand, and began to patiently teach her. As they gracefully skated hand in hand, Jin Zeyi looked at her and softly wished her a happy birthday.
Episode 9 Recap
Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi shared a delightful and romantic time at the ice rink, making it a truly memorable birthday for Luo Tianran. Meanwhile, Tiffany attended Mr. Shi's banquet, where she skillfully negotiated a reality show contract for Jin Zeyi. She drank quite a bit to seal the deal. Upon leaving, she called a designated driver, only for Lin Che to arrive.
Lin Che had previously attempted to return the money left over from car repairs to Tiffany, but she had refused. As a result, Lin Che started delivering breakfast to her company daily, which led to their frequent interactions. As Lin Che drove, Tiffany expressed her frustration about encountering him everywhere, remarking that he was just a "little boy." Lin Che, however, rejected the label, asserting that while he was younger, the age gap was not significant.
He then opened her car door and fastened her seatbelt. The next day, Lin Che again brought breakfast. Typically, Tiffany would discard the breakfast he brought, as she did not have a habit of eating it. However, this time, she accepted the meal and ate it all with a smile. Jin Zeyi even noticed her improved mood. Tiffany informed Jin Zeyi about the reality show, but he refused to participate, saying he wanted to focus on his music.
Tiffany insisted, arguing that the company had put a lot of effort into his career and that he was being childish. Jin Zeyi remained firm, instructing her to decline the offer. Later, Luo Tianran called Jin Zeyi, urging him to come home because his mother and grandmother had visited, bringing three "real geese" and asking them to return to the old family house for their annual flower planting.
Once at the Jin family courtyard, Grandma began instructing Luo Tianran on how to be a good wife, lamenting her outfit and her failure to bring a gift. Jin Zeyi defended Luo Tianran, who then cleverly offered to sing her "Little Red Elephant" song as a present. Luo Tianran diligently started doing chores, while Jin Zeyi amused himself by teasing her.
While feeding the geese, Jin Zeyi tried to feed Luo Tianran an orange, but she playfully told him to feed it to the geese instead. As Luo Tianran prepared to start a fire for cooking, Jin Zeyi teased her and suggested using a gas stove. Seeing his teasing, Luo Tianran told Grandma that Jin Zeyi was eager to make fish soup for her. Delighted, Grandma happily led Luo Tianran away to plant flowers, leaving Jin Zeyi to his "cooking" duties.
Grandma gave Luo Tianran a pot of soil with "baby's breath" seeds, explaining that the flowers symbolize happiness and longing. She told Luo Tianran to nurture them until they bloomed, promising to reveal the deeper meaning then, recounting how Jin Zeyi's grandfather had won her heart with a similar gesture. Meanwhile, Luo Tianran checked on Jin Zeyi’s fish soup and found the fish still alive in the pot. Ultimately, Luo Tianran prepared the entire meal herself.
Grandma, showing clear favoritism, critiqued all of Luo Tianran’s dishes as either too salty or too bland, but effusively praised the fish soup, believing Jin Zeyi had made it. Luo Tianran, unwilling to let the bias stand, revealed that she had made the fish soup. Startled, Grandma accidentally choked on a fish bone. Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran rushed Grandma to the hospital. Jin Wen examined her, assuring them it was not a serious issue.
Luo Tianran tearfully apologized, blaming herself, but Jin Wen subtly indicated that Jin Zeyi was the one at fault. Jin Zeyi, already at odds with Jin Wen, quickly found an excuse to leave the hospital. Luo Tianran stayed to care for Grandma. Upon waking, Grandma continued to chastise Luo Tianran, criticizing her lack of manners and her inability to contribute to Jin Zeyi's career, questioning why her grandson married such a "silly wife."
Overwhelmed, Luo Tianran began to cry, expressing her frustration at Grandma’s persistent dislike despite her efforts to please her. Softening, Grandma denied disliking her and sang "Three Tigers" to console her. Luo Tianran responded with "Little Red Elephant," and they sang together happily, seemingly reconciling. When Jin Wen re-entered the room, Grandma quickly regained her serious demeanor, and Luo Tianran soon left to let Grandma rest. In the hospital lobby, Luo Tianran encountered Yun Shu.
As they greeted each other, they witnessed a commotion at the front desk: an agitated female patient, suffering from severe burns, was accusing the hospital of disfiguring her face and demanded an explanation from the lead doctor. When the patient pulled out a knife and lunged, Yun Shu instinctively raised his arm to shield the doctor, sustaining a deep gash. Other medical staff quickly intervened, guiding the patient back to her room.
Luo Tianran accompanied Yun Shu to the emergency room for stitches, expressing deep concern for his injury. To comfort him, Luo Tianran placed her headphones on his ears, intending to play music. This act triggered a vivid memory for Yun Shu: a childhood moment when he was bullied, and a kind, cheerful girl came to his rescue, playing him music his father had recorded. In that moment, Yun Shu, realizing the familiar feeling he’d always had around Luo Tianran, recognized that she was the very same girl from his past.
Episode 10 Recap
Realizing Luo Tianran was his long-lost childhood friend, Yun Shu grasped her arm in a moment of distraction. Just then, Jin Zeyi returned looking for Luo Tianran, prompting Yun Shu to realize his impropriety. Witnessing Yun Shu's familiarity with Luo Tianran, Jin Zeyi became displeased. He pulled Luo Tianran away and sternly reminded Yun Shu that she was his wife.
As Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi departed, Yun Shu felt a pang of regret, not having anticipated that upon rediscovering Luo Tianran, she would already be married. The following day, Luo Tianran brought homemade snacks to visit Yun Shu. She apologized for Jin Zeyi's attitude, explaining that even though she was married, Yun Shu remained her friend, and their normal interactions should not be affected. After their conversation, Luo Tianran received news of a record store's clearance sale.
She promptly excused herself and headed to the store, where the staff explained the owner decided to close due to poor business. Feeling a sense of loss that there would be no more places to buy records, Luo Tianran felt helpless and left. Soon after, Yun Shu also arrived at the closing record store. Upon learning that the closure was due to a lack of people who could truly appreciate music, he requested to meet the owner.
Meanwhile, Jin Zeyi had become quite attentive to Luo Tianran. Discovering she couldn't ride a bicycle, he bought her a new one. After completing his work engagements, he dedicated his free time to teaching her. Luo Tianran rode unsteadily, clearly a beginner, with Jin Zeyi steadying the bike. Their playful banter during the lesson created a unique charm. Tiffany, having learned of the situation from A Tai, arrived.
Concerned about the nature of Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's developing feelings, Tiffany approached them. She reminded Jin Zeyi that his marriage was contractual and that he should not overstep boundaries. Then, in front of Luo Tianran, Tiffany deliberately embraced Jin Zeyi intimately, aiming to gauge Luo Tianran's reaction. Luo Tianran, recalling their contractual arrangement, muttered about Jin Zeyi being shameless and unconsciously rode further away. After Tiffany left, Jin Zeyi pursued Luo Tianran.
As she made a turn, she accidentally fell, hitting her head directly on a rock in the nearby grass and losing consciousness. Jin Zeyi rushed her to the hospital, carrying her unconscious body into the emergency room. Yun Shu, the attending physician, took over. Already regretting not having reunited with Luo Tianran sooner, he became visibly upset at Jin Zeyi's perceived lack of care for his wife. After emergency treatment, Luo Tianran's condition stabilized, and they awaited her regaining consciousness.
Simultaneously, news of Jin Zeyi rushing his wife to the hospital became a trending topic, with media scrambling for details and reporters crowding the hospital entrance. Tiffany and A Tai arrived. Jin Zeyi was tenderly caring for Luo Tianran, and he had injured his ankle while rushing her to the hospital.
Tiffany instructed A Tai to capture photos of Jin Zeyi affectionately tending to his wife, intending to use the images to manage public opinion and counteract rumors that he had failed to protect her. Jin Zeyi was in no mood for photos, but he eventually relented, and pictures of his injured foot were taken.
Yun Shu, who came to check on Luo Tianran, witnessed this scene and promptly asked Tiffany and A Tai to leave, citing the patient's need for rest. As Tiffany and A Tai exited, they encountered Lin Che and Jin Xiaoqin searching for Luo Tianran's ward and pointed them in the right direction. Shortly after Lin Che and Jin Xiaoqin arrived, possibly due to Jin Xiaoqin's noisy chatter, Luo Tianran woke up.
Yun Shu conducted a quick examination, assuring them that there was no significant issue, and brain scans showed no damage. However, when Luo Tianran addressed Yun Shu as "doctor" and asked if they had met before, he realized something was amiss. It turned out Luo Tianran's memory had regressed to the age of sixteen. She couldn't recall anyone or anything that had happened since, meaning she had no recollection of either Yun Shu or her marriage to Jin Zeyi.
The news reached home, prompting Jin Zeyi's grandmother and mother to visit Luo Tianran, bringing their wedding video. Luo Tianran then learned Jin Zeyi was indeed her husband, a fact Jin Zeyi had jokingly masked by claiming to be her brother. Jin Zeyi's grandmother, eager for great-grandchildren, expressed concern that Luo Tianran's condition might prevent them from having a normal marital life, unaware that Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's marriage was not physical.
Knowing her marital status with Jin Zeyi, Luo Tianran became surprisingly proactive. She began calling him "honey," thanked him for his care, and promised to diligently work towards recovering her memory. Jin Zeyi, upon reflection, considered her amnesia to be a favorable outcome, as it spared her from remembering how he had previously driven her away and deliberately damaged her audio recording pen. Later, they bickered playfully, prompting a complaint from a neighboring patient about the noise.
Jin Zeyi playfully called her "insane," and she responded by hitting him. She then brought up his past desire for her to be a "virtuous wife and a loving mother," asserting that people change, as they continued their affectionate squabble.
Episode 11 Recap
Luo Tianran, having lost her memory, genuinely believed Jin Zeyi was her husband. Jin Zeyi, feeling for her lack of family, didn't want to reveal that even her husband was an illusion. He was reluctant to admit that Luo Tianran had become more than just a contract wife to him. While she was hospitalized, Jin Zeyi diligently looked after her, even watching horror movies with her at night.
The hospital room door opened, revealing Dr. Yun and a nurse checking on patients. Jin Zeyi quickly hid under Luo Tianran's blanket. Dr. Yun, realizing Jin Zeyi wasn't openly attending to Luo Tianran, called him, only for Jin Zeyi’s phone to ring from under Luo Tianran's blanket. Luo Tianran quickly claimed Jin Zeyi had left his phone behind, but Dr. Yun saw through the excuse, yet discreetly moved on to other rooms with the nurse.
Afterward, Luo Tianran found Jin Zeyi's sheepish behavior so amusing that they playfully bickered before settling down to sleep. Tiffany, who knew Jin Zeyi well, sensed a shift in him. One night, she visited Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi’s house alone, sitting on the grass in contemplation. Lin Che spotted her and approached, asking if she liked Jin Zeyi. Tiffany, dismissing him as a "kid," denied any such feelings.
As she left, Lin Che offered her a "lucky slip," instructing her to only open it at home. Though amused, Tiffany opened it discreetly after leaving, finding the message, "Today you should be happy and take care of yourself." Meanwhile, Luo Tianran's medical tests showed no issues. Doctors speculated her amnesia was psychogenic and possibly temporary. Upon discharge, Luo Tianran returned home with Jin Zeyi, only to find their bedrooms were separate.
Jin Zeyi hastily claimed they were a loving couple, yet his excuses were riddled with inconsistencies. To prevent Luo Tianran from discovering the truth, Jin Zeyi secretly retrieved both marriage contracts at home and had A Tai take them away. When Tiffany learned this, she felt Jin Zeyi was letting emotions cloud his judgment and advised him not to get too engrossed in a contract marriage that was bound to end.
She expressed concern over the impact on company interests and Jin Zeyi's own. Jin Zeyi retorted that he couldn't possibly tell Luo Tianran, who had no family, that her husband was a sham. That evening, to maintain the facade, Jin Zeyi had no choice but to share a room with Luo Tianran. Luo Tianran delicately expressed her need for time to adjust to their relationship, to which Jin Zeyi eagerly agreed.
He was visibly reserved, sitting far from her, and showing no intention of taking advantage of the situation. Luo Tianran soon drifted off to sleep, but Jin Zeyi remained restless by her side. Later that night, Luo Tianran, still unaccustomed to sharing a bed, woke up and accidentally pressed on Jin Zeyi’s injured ankle. Noticing his pain, Luo Tianran thoughtfully retrieved medicine and sprayed his wound.
Jin Zeyi then used the strong smell of the spray as an excuse to retreat to another room to sleep. Despite Jin Zeyi's numerous blunders, Luo Tianran remained unsuspecting. She even baked a cake for him to take to work. Jin Zeyi was delighted and, at lunchtime, invited colleagues to share the cake, proudly showing off his wife's baking skills.
Unbeknownst to him, shortly after he arrived at the company, Tiffany had gone to his house with one of the marriage contracts. As Luo Tianran was considering dinner options for Jin Zeyi, Tiffany arrived and handed her the marriage contract, stating it would be safer for Luo Tianran to keep it herself due to the busy office environment. Tiffany sternly reminded Luo Tianran that certain things should be remembered clearly and never forgotten.
After Tiffany left, Luo Tianran, perplexed, opened the document. To her dismay, she discovered that her supposedly loving marriage was nothing more than a contract. Luo Tianran, saddened and confused by the revelation, immediately called Jin Zeyi, asking him to come home early. Jin Zeyi, who was in the midst of showing off the cake to colleagues, answered her call, noting her unusual silence.
After delivering the contract, Tiffany drove back to the company, stopping at a food truck to order an Americano. Lin Che, pleased to see her, handed her the coffee and offered her another lucky slip. Tiffany casually picked one that read, "You are beautiful today." Instantly recognizing the trick, she pulled the container from Lin Che's hand, confirming that all the slips contained the identical message. Despite the obvious ploy, Lin Che's boyish attempts to please her still seemed to charm Tiffany.
Episode 12 Recap
After reading the marriage contract, Luo Tianran was visibly distraught. That evening, when Jin Zeyi returned home, he found her looking glum on the sofa. He asked what was bothering her. Luo Tianran, on the verge of tears, showed him the contract, demanding to know how long he intended to keep it from her. Realizing he could no longer hide the truth, Jin Zeyi offered a sincere apology.
However, Luo Tianran insisted that she should be the one apologizing, believing she had deliberately approached and seduced him for the house, even forcing him to sign such an agreement and intending to take his property.
Jin Zeyi was perplexed by her conclusion, but Luo Tianran earnestly explained that she had spent the entire afternoon contemplating it, and it seemed the only plausible explanation; after all, why would a celebrity like him be interested in her for anything other than her intentions toward his house?
Jin Zeyi found himself at a loss for words, unsure how to explain the misunderstanding, though he reassured her that the contract didn't count, having been signed in a moment of temper. Meanwhile, Jin Xiaoqin, in addition to her part-time job at Lin Che's fast-food truck, primarily focused on her work as a WeChat business agent. Her true ambition was to become a top sales performer, a goal that eclipsed her enthusiasm for the fast-food job.
Lately, she had been boasting to other agents about her close friendship with the Jin Zeyi couple. Convinced that Jin Zeyi's endorsement would significantly boost her product sales, Jin Xiaoqin decided to exploit her friend Luo Tianran once more. She went shopping, considering various gifts, but ultimately, her frugality won out, and she decided to give Luo Tianran her used powder compact instead of buying anything new.
Later, Jin Xiaoqin visited Luo Tianran, who was home alone as Jin Zeyi had already left for his company. Jin Xiaoqin fabricated a story about meeting her boyfriend's parents that evening and needing Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi to attend as her "family" for support, expressing fear that her boyfriend's parents didn't quite like her. Unaware of Jin Xiaoqin's past betrayal regarding her house due to her memory loss, Luo Tianran, trusting her completely, prepared to call Jin Zeyi.
However, Jin Xiaoqin quickly stopped her, claiming Jin Zeyi disliked her and wouldn't help if he knew the truth. She instructed Luo Tianran to tell Jin Zeyi it was an urgent personal matter for her, and then bring him along once he returned. Luo Tianran agreed, and Jin Xiaoqin, ever so cheap, departed without even leaving the powder compact she had considered giving. Luo Tianran earnestly called Jin Zeyi, asking him to return home for an urgent matter.
At that moment, Jin Zeyi was in the middle of a crucial world tour concert rehearsal. Despite the significance of the moment, he hesitated only for a few seconds before rushing home. Luo Tianran, oblivious to his sacrifice, then insisted they accompany Jin Xiaoqin to her alleged family dinner. Jin Zeyi was reluctant, well aware of Jin Xiaoqin's unreliability. However, Luo Tianran's persistence, coupled with his unwillingness to let her go alone, eventually swayed him.
As they arrived at the destination, Tiffany called Jin Zeyi, demanding his immediate return to the rehearsal. Jin Zeyi, acknowledging their arrival, decided they should first go inside to assess the situation. Upon entering, they found themselves surrounded not by a boyfriend's family, but by a crowd of WeChat business agents. They swarmed Jin Zeyi, clamoring for photos.
It was then that Luo Tianran realized Jin Xiaoqin had lied, having no boyfriend, and merely wanted to exploit them for product promotion. Luo Tianran was furious at Jin Xiaoqin and, more so, at herself for dragging Jin Zeyi into the mess. She pushed through the women surrounding Jin Zeyi and pulled him away from the gathering. Luo Tianran profusely apologized for the unfortunate incident, but Jin Zeyi stated that apologies were meaningless now.
He predicted that tomorrow's trending topic would be along the lines of "Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran venture into business." Determined to rectify the situation, Luo Tianran decided to return to the venue. Meanwhile, Tiffany called Jin Zeyi again, urging him to return, prompting him to drive away. Back at the gathering, Luo Tianran confronted the agents, demanding they delete Jin Zeyi's photos.
When they defiantly refused, she angrily grabbed a water gun from the venue and began spraying their phones indiscriminately. In the end, almost everyone's phone was drenched, rendering them unusable and making the issue not just about deleting photos, but about needing new devices. Meanwhile, back at the rehearsal site, a furious Tiffany chastised Jin Zeyi. She reminded him that she had given him the opportunity and the stage he desired, only for him to squander it.
The rehearsal staff, believing Jin Zeyi was acting like a diva, had already left. Tiffany lamented that because of Luo Tianran, Jin Zeyi was making uncharacteristic mistakes he never would have made before. Fortunately, the next day's headlines spun the narrative positively, reporting that Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran had accidentally stumbled into a WeChat business gathering, primarily praising Luo Tianran for bravely protecting her husband. This turn of events was a blessing in disguise, garnering significant public approval.
Jin Zeyi did not blame Luo Tianran for the incident. Instead, he took her to the advertising shoot location where they had first met. Unexpectedly, the familiar setting and the presence of Jin Zeyi triggered a flood of memories, causing Luo Tianran to fully regain her past. Recalling their history, Luo Tianran angrily pulled her hand away from Jin Zeyi. The argument continued back at their home, with Luo Tianran accusing Jin Zeyi of deliberately playing tricks on her.
Jin Zeyi, feeling innocent, explained that he had only acted that way to prevent her from experiencing too much emotional shock, a measure advised by her doctor. Tai entered with their wedding photos, asking where to put them. Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi bickered about whose room they should go in, leading Jin Zeyi to ultimately decide they should be placed in the living room.
The day after regaining her memory, Luo Tianran revisited the record store, surprised to find it still open for business. There, she encountered Yun Shu, who was visibly delighted that she remembered him. As they listened to records together, Luo Tianran received a call from Jin Zeyi. He informed her that Jin Xiaoqin was at their house, had been rummaging through their belongings, and had discovered the marriage contract. Alarmed, Luo Tianran rushed home, forgetting her bag behind.
Yun Shu, noticing her forgotten bag, called her, but she didn't answer. He then decided to personally deliver it to her. As Yun Shu approached the front door, he heard Jin Xiaoqin's voice from inside, loudly proclaiming that Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi were only in a fake marriage.
Jin Xiaoqin also demanded that Jin Zeyi promote her products on his social media and that Luo Tianran cancel the debt she owed her for the house in exchange for not publishing the contract online. Luo Tianran refused, and their argument continued as Yun Shu listened from outside.
Episode 13 Recap
Jin Xiaoqin accidentally discovered the prenuptial agreement between Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi, revealing their secret fake marriage. She used this information to threaten them, demanding that Jin Zeyi promote her products on his social media and that Luo Tianran forgive the money Jin Xiaoqin owed her for the apartment. Luo Tianran adamantly refused these demands, accusing Jin Xiaoqin of being too presumptuous. Jin Zeyi, maintaining his composure, intervened.
He offered Jin Xiaoqin an assistant position at their company, proposing that a portion of her salary be used to repay Luo Tianran. Though initially hesitant about the assistant role, Jin Xiaoqin agreed after learning it would allow her to meet many celebrities, not wanting to miss out on any potential benefits. Shortly after Jin Xiaoqin left, Yun Shu, who had been listening from outside the door, knocked to return Luo Tianran's purse, which she had forgotten.
Jin Zeyi noticed Yun Shu's presence and grew visibly jealous. Later, Tiffany met with Luo Tianran, still unaware that Luo Tianran had regained her memory. Tiffany reiterated that Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi’s relationship was purely a contractual marriage. Luo Tianran calmly asserted that her only goal was to reclaim her house and that she had no interest in Jin Zeyi, fully aware of his relationship with Tiffany, thus posing no threat to them.
Tiffany then realized that Luo Tianran had indeed recovered her memories. Luo Tianran initially maintained a cool demeanor. However, upon learning that Jin Zeyi was handling Jin Xiaoqin's onboarding procedures, Luo Tianran's attitude brightened considerably. As a gesture of gratitude, she excitedly offered to treat Jin Zeyi to a movie, emphasizing that he shouldn't be late. Meanwhile, Tiffany was actively pursuing a new movie role for Jin Zeyi with the renowned Director Guan Wenjie.
She presented Jin Zeyi with the script, urging him to study it thoroughly and meet Director Guan's team that very night. Jin Zeyi, whose primary focus was music, expressed reluctance to take on a film project, especially since he already had plans for the evening, having forgotten about the Director Guan meeting due to his movie date with Luo Tianran. Nevertheless, he reluctantly accepted the script, as he had just asked Tiffany for a favor regarding Jin Xiaoqin's employment.
Jin Zeyi then tried to review the script with his assistant, A Tai, but was interrupted by a call from Luo Tianran, reminding him not to stand her up. Jin Zeyi excused himself abruptly. As the meeting time approached, A Tai made numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact Jin Zeyi. Tiffany grew increasingly agitated and disappointed by Jin Zeyi's absence. Just then, Ling Xiquan, a popular actor and Jin Zeyi's primary competitor, arrived unexpectedly.
He approached Tiffany, proposing a collaboration, eager to seize the opportunity with Director Guan's new film. Despite her previous disdain for him, Jin Zeyi's repeated failures to prioritize his career due to Luo Tianran had deeply frustrated Tiffany. While Jin Zeyi was at the cinema with Luo Tianran, deliberately arriving late to avoid attracting attention, Tiffany attempted to stall Director Guan.
She used Jin Zeyi's new team and schedule mix-ups as an excuse for his delay, even having Cheng Shasha, a new artist, join them to further buy time. When Jin Zeyi still didn't show up after hours, a furious Tiffany discreetly called Ling Xiquan, giving him the restaurant's address. She then suggested moving to the restaurant for dinner, creating a seemingly accidental encounter between Director Guan and Ling Xiquan.
Back at home, as Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran were watching TV, Luo Tianran commented on a show, dismissing it as not Director Guan's work. This ironically made Jin Zeyi recall his missed meeting as he recognized it was indeed Director Guan's work. He immediately called A Tai, who informed him that Ling Xiquan had already gone to dinner with Director Guan.
Luo Tianran overheard snippets of the call and tried to inquire about Tiffany, but Jin Zeyi quickly diverted the conversation, leaving her questions unanswered. The next day, during a team meeting, Tiffany publicly announced an indefinite suspension of all of Jin Zeyi's commercial activities, including his upcoming concert. This effectively put his career on hold. Jin Zeyi apologized for missing the meeting with Director Guan, but Tiffany was unmoved.
She accused him of disrespecting his colleagues and their collective efforts by neglecting his career for a girl, emphasizing that it was not just his career but also hers. Jin Zeyi insisted the blame lay solely with him and had nothing to do with Luo Tianran, but his defense only solidified Tiffany's disdain for Luo Tianran. Their argument ended poorly, and they parted ways on bad terms.
Later, Jin Zeyi was alone in a dance studio, diligently practicing his concert choreography, despite the uncertainty of when he would perform again. When Luo Tianran called, he did not take out his frustration on her. Instead, he lightheartedly listed several dishes, instructing her to prepare dinner for him before he returned home.
Episode 14 Recap
Following the discovery of Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's contract marriage by Jin Xiaoqin, Jin Zeyi offered Jin Xiaoqin an assistant position at their company, with part of her salary designated to repay Luo Tianran. While Jin Xiaoqin accepted, Yun Shu, who had overheard the truth and harbored feelings for Luo Tianran, began to feel that he had a chance with her. Luo Tianran invited Jin Zeyi to watch a movie at 6:00 p. m.
to express her gratitude for his help. However, Tiffany had already scheduled a crucial meeting for Jin Zeyi with renowned Director Guan Wenjie for a new film that same evening. Jin Zeyi inadvertently forgot about this meeting. Despite numerous unanswered calls from A Tai, Director Guan arrived, leading Tiffany to grow increasingly frustrated with Jin Zeyi.
At the same time, Ling Xiquan, a popular male star and Jin Zeyi’s rival, approached Tiffany, expressing interest in collaboration after learning about Jin Zeyi's opportunity with Director Guan. After Jin Zeyi failed to appear for several hours, Tiffany, in a calculated move, discreetly informed Ling Xiquan of Director Guan's location. She then brought Director Guan to the restaurant under the pretense of dinner, creating a seemingly coincidental encounter between the director and Ling Xiquan.
The next day, Tiffany publicly announced the indefinite suspension of all Jin Zeyi's commercial activities, giving him an extended "holiday." She expressed her disappointment, sternly reminding him that his career was not solely his own. Jin Zeyi defended Luo Tianran, stating that his actions were his own fault, which only further intensified Tiffany’s disapproval of Luo Tianran’s influence. Despite his frustration, Jin Zeyi accepted the consequences.
While alone in the dance studio practicing for a concert of uncertain future, Luo Tianran called him. Jin Zeyi listed several dishes he wanted for dinner, expecting Luo Tianran to prepare them, but she retorted that she would not be cooking and expected him to have dinner ready by the time she arrived home.
Yun Shu, still grappling with the revelation of Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi's contract marriage, was visibly preoccupied with his thoughts, even during a critical surgery, drawing a concerned remark from his superior. When Luo Tianran offered Yun Shu some balladry records as a thank you for returning her purse, Yun Shu, clearly disturbed, directly confronted her about the contract, stating he already knew their relationship was a temporary deal.
Meanwhile, Tiffany showed visible signs of stress and exhaustion, prompting staff speculation about a major argument between her and Jin Zeyi, possibly related to Ling Xiquan. Ling Xiquan pressed Tiffany for updates on Director Guan's film, but she vaguely presented him with offers from other brands, intentionally sidestepping the director's project, as she clearly did not intend to give him that opportunity.
Later, A Tai approached Jin Zeyi, attempting to warn him about Tiffany's increasing closeness with Ling Xiquan, hinting at rumors that Ling Xiquan might replace Jin Zeyi. However, Jin Zeyi remained indifferent, prompting Tiffany to call A Tai and instruct him to bring Jin Zeyi to her home for a direct conversation. At Tiffany's residence, their simmering cold war erupted into another heated argument over Director Guan’s project.
Jin Zeyi accused Tiffany of allowing personal feelings to compromise her work, believing she had deliberately shifted resources to Ling Xiquan out of hostility towards Luo Tianran and a sense of betrayal. Tiffany vehemently retorted, asserting that Jin Zeyi was the one whose judgment was clouded by personal emotions, pointing out the numerous risks he had taken and rules he had broken because of Luo Tianran.
She urged him to act professionally and not let Luo Tianran continue to impact their work. Regarding Ling Xiquan, Tiffany merely stated that Jin Zeyi would eventually understand the situation. Jin Zeyi remained resentful, convinced that Ling Xiquan was trying to steal his opportunities. Concurrently, Ling Xiquan returned to his own company, only to discover that Tiffany had outmaneuvered him; Director Guan had indeed cast Jin Zeyi as the male lead, leaving Ling Xiquan with only the third male role.
His manager, Mr. Yang, was also aware of Ling Xiquan’s unauthorized attempts to negotiate with Tiffany. Ling Xiquan concocted a story for Mr. Yang, claiming Tiffany had initiated contact and set a trap for him. Mr. Yang, however, saw through Ling Xiquan's deceptive narrative, scolding him for his actions and reminding him of the obviousness of the situation. Still fuming, Ling Xiquan swore to make Tiffany realize that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Jin Zeyi, feeling bored and jobless since his activities were suspended, suggested to Luo Tianran that they go skiing. Luo Tianran excitedly called Jin Xiaoqin, revealing that Jin Zeyi had booked the entire indoor ski center, hoping she would join. However, Jin Xiaoqin, who was at work at Jin Zeyi’s company, declined due to her inability to take leave, much to the excitement of her colleagues who overheard.
Tiffany, overhearing Jin Xiaoqin's excited chatter about Jin Zeyi booking the ski center, was visibly annoyed and sarcastically remarked on his leisurely holiday. She then instructed A Tai to follow them. At the ski center, Luo Tianran was thrilled to find the entire place exclusively reserved. Jin Zeyi attentively helped her adjust her ski pants. Realizing Luo Tianran did not know how to ski, Jin Zeyi began teaching her.
Their lesson quickly turned into a playful tumble as Luo Tianran, trying to slide, ended up pulling Jin Zeyi down with her. They then engaged in a lighthearted snowball fight and slid down slopes like children, thoroughly enjoying themselves, even drawing smiles from A Tai, who watched from a distance. After their energetic play, they relaxed on a bench, chatting.
Luo Tianran, curious, inquired about Jin Zeyi's strained relationship with Yun Shu, playfully guessing that his poor academic performance might have led him to abandon medicine. Jin Zeyi, after a moment of hesitation, revealed a deeply personal history: his father, disapproving of his musical aspirations, had secretly altered his college application to medical school, forcing him to study medicine for a year.
He later dropped out to become a trainee without informing his father, which caused the significant rift between them. Luo Tianran then shared her own childhood memory of her father teaching her to ski, and how he passed away before she could truly learn. She used this story to encourage Jin Zeyi to overcome difficulties for his passions. Inspired, Jin Zeyi helped Luo Tianran conquer her fear and learn to ski.
A Tai, observing their joyful progress, captured photos of Luo Tianran successfully skiing and high-fiving Jin Zeyi, sending them to Tiffany with a reassuring message. However, Tiffany reacted with a sarcastic smile upon seeing the pictures. She immediately contacted Mr. Tan, the ski center owner, offering him a "small gift" of publicity.
The next day, social media was abuzz with photos of Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran at the ski center, alongside promotional captions, making the venue a popular spot for couples. Upon seeing this, Luo Tianran angrily confronted Jin Zeyi, accusing him of exploiting their relationship for publicity and using her as a marketing tool, rather than genuinely taking her out for fun. Jin Zeyi, genuinely bewildered, tried to clarify, but his calls to Tiffany went unanswered.
He rushed to the company, where he inadvertently overheard Mr. Shi, a senior figure, severely reprimanding Tiffany. Mr. Shi was furious about rumors of Tiffany's close ties with Ling Xiquan, questioning her professional ethics and suitability as an agent. He even suggested she quit managing and pursue an acting career, given her looks and apparent enjoyment of interacting with male artists. After enduring the harsh criticism, Tiffany spoke to Jin Zeyi privately.
She apologized for any impropriety, explaining that the ski center promotion was a way to repay Mr. Tan, who had once provided a venue for free for Jin Zeyi's debut album signing when a planned location fell through. She admitted that her actions regarding Ling Xiquan were misguided attempts to pressure Jin Zeyi and create a sense of urgency.
In reality, Tiffany had been actively working to secure his role as the male lead in Director Guan's new film, and his commercial activities had been suspended precisely so he could focus on preparing for the role, unbeknownst to him. Tiffany expressed her regret and hoped that the rampant rumors about her favoring Ling Xiquan and transferring Jin Zeyi's resources would not destroy the years of trust they had built. Jin Zeyi, understanding her intentions, chose to trust her again. Subsequently, Tiffany reinstated all of Jin Zeyi's previously suspended commercial activities and concerts.
Episode 15 Recap
After a conversation with Tiffany, Jin Zeyi remained preoccupied, worried that Luo Tianran believed he had used her for a publicity stunt related to their ski trip. Tiffany, meanwhile, confirmed that Director Guan had decided to cast Jin Zeyi in the lead role for his new drama, expressing her apologies and asking for his trust in their professional relationship. Jin Zeyi, despite his lingering suspicions about her methods, reluctantly agreed.
As Jin Zeyi prepared to leave, still intending to go home and clarify things with Luo Tianran, Tiffany suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed. Jin Zeyi immediately rushed her to the hospital. There, he learned from Atay that Tiffany suffered from acute gastric hemorrhage due to overfatigue, a condition stemming from a long-standing gastric ulcer, and needed to be hospitalized for observation.
Atay also impressed upon Jin Zeyi that Tiffany had worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure his role with Director Guan, making significant sacrifices for his career. Jin Zeyi acknowledged her efforts. Luo Tianran spent a sleepless night, growing increasingly uneasy when Jin Zeyi didn't return home and wouldn't answer her calls, knowing he was with Tiffany. The next morning, she found him cooking porridge and initially assumed it was for her.
Jin Zeyi informed her it was for Tiffany, who was hospitalized, and asked for help. Feeling a pang of jealousy, Luo Tianran hesitantly asked if he would cook for her if she were sick. Jin Zeyi, oblivious to her deeper meaning, playfully dismissed her, saying she was as "strong as a cow" and wouldn't get sick. Disappointed by his response, Luo Tianran nevertheless asked to accompany him to the hospital.
On the way, Luo Tianran inquired about Jin Zeyi's relationship with Tiffany. He confided that Tiffany had been a pillar of support for seven years, encouraging him to pursue an entertainment career during a difficult period with his father. He expressed guilt, realizing he had been unaware of her chronic stomach issues until now. Upon arriving at Tiffany's hospital room, Jin Zeyi noticed Luo Tianran's sprained ankle and, in typical fashion, jokingly called her clumsy and brainless.
This lighthearted jab, which she might have once tolerated, now stung her as her feelings for Jin Zeyi had changed. Inside, Jin Zeyi attentively cared for Tiffany, feeding her porridge and tucking her in, even directing Luo Tianran to retrieve a towel when Tiffany accidentally spilled some porridge. Luo Tianran recalled Tiffany's previous warnings about not crossing the lines of their contract marriage or developing feelings for Jin Zeyi.
Witnessing Jin Zeyi's tender care for his agent, her jealousy and discomfort became unbearable. She made a quick excuse and left the room, leaving Jin Zeyi puzzled by her sudden departure as he continued to tend to Tiffany. After leaving the hospital, Luo Tianran encountered Dr. Yun Shu, who offered to examine her sprained ankle. He sprayed it with medicine and then took her to a park to see fireflies for fresh air, sensing her low mood.
As they sat, Yun Shu shared a poignant story about a firefly's unrequited love for a distant star, a subtle allegory for his own feelings for Luo Tianran. She, however, missed the underlying romantic implication, suggesting the story would make a beautiful song. They shared beer, and Luo Tianran, having a low alcohol tolerance, quickly became inebriated. Yun Shu brought a heavily intoxicated Luo Tianran back to her apartment, where Jin Zeyi was waiting.
Seeing her drunken state and Yun Shu accompanying her, Jin Zeyi became furious. He scolded her for her irresponsible behavior and for disregarding her status as his contractual wife, particularly the risk of being photographed with another man. Luo Tianran, fueled by alcohol and her suppressed jealousy, retorted by asking why he could spend the night with Tiffany while she couldn't socialize with a friend.
She bitterly declared their marriage a mere "phony couple" arrangement, asserting they should mind their own business. Their argument escalated, with both refusing to yield, each asserting their independence. After their heated exchange, Jin Zeyi stormed upstairs to his room. Luo Tianran then noticed a medicine box on the table, realizing he had been waiting up to treat her sprained ankle. The next morning, Jin Zeyi went to Luo Tianran's room to reconcile, only to find her gone.
She had left a note explaining she would be staying with Jin Xiaoqin and Lin Che for a few days. Jin Zeyi sighed, expressing his exasperation at her frequent "leaving home," but dismissed it, as he was about to get busy with Director Guan's new drama, which had just begun filming. Meanwhile, Luo Tianran was helping Jin Xiaoqin at her food truck when curious onlookers recognized her as Jin Zeyi's wife and began taking photos.
Jin Xiaoqin openly asked if Jin Zeyi had "kicked her out," which Luo Tianran denied, asserting she had moved out voluntarily. Unbeknownst to them, a customer secretly recorded their conversation. Separately, Lin Che, upon learning of Tiffany's hospitalization, had rushed to visit her. In his haste, he forgot to buy flowers and instead gave her a cute frog charm, playfully remarking that its eyes were as big as hers, which greatly amused Tiffany. Later, he returned to the hospital with a bouquet of flowers, only to find that Tiffany had already been discharged.
Episode 16 Recap
Luo Tianran's conversation with Jin Xiaoqin about her separation from Jin Zeyi was recorded by a passerby and quickly leaked online, sparking rumors that their marriage was in crisis and they were living apart. Upon learning this, Tiffany immediately left the hospital, narrowly missing Lin Che, who arrived later with a bouquet of flowers only to find her discharged and feeling disheartened as he didn't even have her phone number.
Tiffany promptly called Jin Zeyi, instructing him not to respond to media inquiries until she arrived to handle the situation. She then called Luo Tianran, asking her to prepare ten lunchboxes and bring them to the set. When Luo Tianran arrived, Tiffany loudly announced her presence as Jin Zeyi's wife, personally delivering "love lunchboxes" to the media. She then arranged for Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran to pose for photos, instructing them to appear affectionate to dispel the separation rumors.
While Tiffany viewed this as a basic public relations tactic, Luo Tianran struggled to adapt to the charade. Despite her discomfort, she did not cause a scene in front of the media. Later, Tiffany pulled Luo Tianran aside, telling her to play the role of a good wife. She also subtly implied a deep, long-standing relationship with Jin Zeyi, even suggesting that Luo Tianran was merely an "accessory" to Jin Zeyi and that their contract marriage was almost over.
Misinterpreting this as a sign that Jin Zeyi and Tiffany were truly in love and she was an accidental third party, Luo Tianran felt deeply disheartened. Unaware of Luo Tianran's sadness, Jin Zeyi approached her, asking her to move back home to avoid outside gossip, although he truly wanted to end their cold war. Luo Tianran tacitly agreed, and Jin Zeyi picked her up after work.
He had meticulously cleaned the house himself, and the courtyard grass was decorated to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Over dinner, Jin Zeyi brought up their marriage contract, which was due to expire in six months. He suggested extending it, claiming it was to prevent disappointment from his fans, grandmother, and parents.
Luo Tianran, believing he was compromising for the sake of others and wanting him to pursue his "true love" (Tiffany), proactively suggested they divorce, stating that two people without feelings should not be bound together. Hearing this, Jin Zeyi became irrational, shouting that he would not divorce and storming off to his room. The next day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Jin's mother called, asking Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi to come home for dinner.
Luo Tianran, feeling it would be impolite to refuse, agreed. She then went to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make mooncakes. On her way, she visited a record store and was surprised to find Yun Shu was the new owner. Yun Shu offered her a ride home and mentioned that Mr. Xiaosa, a music producer, was returning to the country and wanted to meet up. Luo Tianran happily agreed.
Jin Zeyi, who had come to pick up Luo Tianran, happened to see them chatting and laughing together. Recalling Luo Tianran's earlier comment about "true love" and divorce, Jin Zeyi completely misunderstood, believing himself to be an obstacle to Luo Tianran and Yun Shu's relationship. After much thought, he told Luo Tianran that he agreed to divorce, promising to return the house to her as stipulated in their contract.
Luo Tianran was taken aback and panicked at his sudden agreement, yet she knew that he had always been out of her reach. Despite their decision to divorce, they still attended the Mid-Autumn dinner at the Jin family home. During the meal, Jin's mother presented Luo Tianran with a family heirloom jade bracelet. Luo Tianran was deeply touched by the affection from the elders, a warmth she hadn't experienced in a long time, and quietly wept.
The thought of genuinely divorcing Jin Zeyi saddened her. The following morning, Jin Zeyi cooked porridge for Luo Tianran, much to his mother's surprise and envy, who noted he had never cooked for her. Soon after, Yun Shu arranged a meeting between Luo Tianran and Mr. Xiaosa. Mr. Xiaosa had previously admired Luo Tianran's composing style but had been too busy to follow up.
Now, he formally decided to take her on as his apprentice, offering to guide her in professional composition techniques. Separately, Jin Zeyi, while collaborating with Mr. Xiaosa on a song, also recommended Luo Tianran, only to learn that Yun Shu had already introduced her, resulting in Mr. Xiaosa taking her on as an apprentice. Jin Zeyi later found himself drinking alone, contemplating his situation. As a thank-you for the introduction, Luo Tianran invited Yun Shu to dinner.
During their meal, Luo Tianran accidentally scalded her hand with hot water. Yun Shu, concerned, immediately applied ice to her hand, seemingly oblivious to his own hand being scalded in the process.
Episode 17 Recap
Luo Tianran and Yun Shu were having a meal when Luo Tianran accidentally knocked over a cup of tea. Yun Shu quickly checked on her, but in doing so, he scalded his own hand, which turned red. Luo Tianran noticed his injury and asked if it hurt, but Yun Shu calmly replied that he felt no pain. Yun Shu explained that he was born with Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (CIP), meaning he cannot feel physical pain.
He recalled his childhood, where his parents constantly worried he would hurt himself without realizing it. His father eventually left, and his mother struggled to raise him, going so far as to wrap sharp corners in their home to prevent injuries. Young Yun Shu once asked his mother what "pain" felt like, and she told him he would understand when he grew older.
As a child, Yun Shu tried to mimic others by pretending to feel pain, like crying out when bumping into a table or acting scared during a shot, in an attempt to fit in. However, his secret was eventually discovered, and other children started calling him a "freak" and bullying him. He remembered a kind girl who told him that everyone is unique and no one has the right to bully others.
She also advised him never to try to please others to gain their affection. Luo Tianran agreed with this sentiment, and Yun Shu confirmed that the girl from his past said those exact words, making her very significant to him. Noticing his still red hand, Luo Tianran insisted he treat the scald. Later, Luo Tianran visited Jin Xiaoqin, feeling a sense of déjà vu and a strong feeling that she had forgotten something important.
Jin Xiaoqin, observing her distracted state, urged her to go home and pay attention to Jin Zeyi, warning that he might lose his job without her knowing. Luo Tianran found this unlikely, but Jin Xiaoqin explained Jin Zeyi's precarious position. She pointed out that his popularity had already declined, and he had lost millions of fans after marrying Luo Tianran due to their contract marriage.
Jin Xiaoqin warned that if a divorce scandal were to break out, it would likely end his career in the entertainment industry. This news caused Luo Tianran to worry. That evening, Luo Tianran returned home to find Jin Zeyi heavily intoxicated, talking to and drinking with a dog statue. Feeling a pang of sympathy, she told him that if he started treating her better and stopped his "evil deeds," she would temporarily postpone their divorce.
Jin Zeyi, still angry about her previous suggestion of divorce, questioned why she brought it up, assuming it was because of Yun Shu. Luo Tianran apologized and tried to lighten his mood. Jin Zeyi then became serious and made her swear that her desire for divorce was not related to Yun Shu, which she calmly did.
Luo Tianran admitted that while they were destined to divorce eventually, she wasn't psychologically prepared for it yet, suggesting they cherish their current time together. Still affected by alcohol, Jin Zeyi childishly asked her to stay with him for a while. Meanwhile, Tiffany approached Yun Shu, attempting to enlist his help in breaking up Luo Tianran and Jin Zeyi. Yun Shu rejected her offer, but Tiffany confidently stated that he would eventually come to her.
The next morning, Jin Zeyi was visibly overjoyed by their reconciliation. He made a glass of juice for Luo Tianran, who initially suspected he might have tampered with it, prompting him to taste it himself to reassure her. At the office, Jin Zeyi was in high spirits, cheerfully interacting with his colleagues. He enthusiastically praised Luo Tianran, describing her as beautiful, kind, an excellent cook, and musically talented.
He recounted how touched he was when she joined him at the amusement park one night. Unbeknownst to them, Yun Shu found a rare Nick album for Luo Tianran, and she met him at the record store. As Yun Shu presented the album and discussed its songs, they stood closely, and someone captured photos of their interaction.
Simultaneously, while Jin Zeyi was still effusively complimenting his wife at work, he discovered the online reports accusing Luo Tianran of having an affair with Yun Shu, a situation quickly misinterpreted by public opinion, making her out to be a "villain" cheating with his senior. His mood immediately soured. Later, Jin Zeyi waited for Luo Tianran at home in the dark.
Upon her return, he angrily confronted her with the online photos and demanded to know why she was with Yun Shu again. Luo Tianran attempted to explain, but Jin Zeyi cut her off, accusing her of secretly meeting Yun Shu even before the Mid-Autumn Festival and then feigning distress at his parents' house. He bitterly suggested she deserved an Oscar for her acting.
Provoked by his harsh words, Luo Tianran lost her patience, retorted that he had no right to control her, and reminded him that they were merely a contract couple, implying she was free to associate with whomever she chose. Her words further enraged Jin Zeyi, who asserted his authority as her husband and forcefully kissed her. Luo Tianran struggled, pushed him away, slapped him, threw off her ring, and stormed out of the house.
Realizing she was gone, Jin Zeyi immediately called Jin Xiaoqin, who confirmed Luo Tianran was not with her or Lin Che and was not answering her phone. Worried, Jin Xiaoqin and Lin Che went to the hospital to find Yun Shu, informing him that Luo Tianran was missing and upset about the leaked photos. Yun Shu rushed out to search for her, while Jin Zeyi was also driving around frantically looking.
Luo Tianran was eventually found late at night by Yun Shu, not by the Jin Zeyi she had anticipated. She was sitting alone in the Western restaurant where she worked, as it was closed and empty. Yun Shu called her name and then took her away, offering her a place to stay. By the time Jin Zeyi arrived at the restaurant, it was deserted.
Episode 18 Recap
Luo Tianran had sought refuge at the Flower Sea Cabin, where Yun Shu had settled her. Jin Zeyi frantically tried to reach her, but Luo Tianran consistently ignored his calls. News about Luo Tianran and Yun Shu spread at Yun Shu's hospital, with staff gossiping about Doctor Yun's supposed involvement in the scandal. The rumors even reached someone close to Jin Zeyi, who called to inquire about the situation, but Jin Zeyi tersely dismissed them.
Meanwhile, Jin Zeyi appeared distraught, like he had lost his soul. His manager, Tiffany, confronted him, criticizing his emotional state and disregard for their team's hard work. She worried that Luo Tianran might expose their contract marriage to protect her relationship with Yun Shu, which would jeopardize Jin Zeyi's career. To Tiffany's surprise, Jin Zeyi confessed that he had fallen in love with Luo Tianran, admitting he no longer cared about anything else, only wanting to find her.
Tiffany was visibly shaken by his revelation. Yun Shu, aware of the online smear campaign against Luo Tianran, met privately with Tiffany, demanding she stop manipulating public opinion and spreading negativity about Luo Tianran. Yun Shu suspected Tiffany was behind the current photo leak as she had previously attempted to use photos of him and Luo Tianran to break up the couple, an offer he had rejected.
Tiffany, unfazed, noted that Jin Zeyi had confessed his feelings for Luo Tianran, suggesting Yun Shu might lose his chance with Luo Tianran if Jin Zeyi found her first, and probed if Yun Shu regretted refusing her past proposal. Later, Yun Shu brought dinner to Luo Tianran at the cabin and gave her a music recording, suggesting she listen to it when feeling down.
After Yun Shu left, Luo Tianran found herself talking to a lizard statue, contemplating whether to forgive Jin Zeyi. She wondered aloud if the statue had been sent by Jin Zeyi. The narrative surrounding Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's situation began to shift. Instead of Luo Tianran being the villain, rumors started circulating that Tiffany was interfering in Jin Zeyi's marriage. Reporters swarmed Tiffany outside her company, aggressively questioning her.
Caught off guard and flustered, Tiffany was rescued by Lin Che, who appeared seemingly out of nowhere, shielding her from the press and pulling her into his food truck. Lin Che checked if she was hurt, but Tiffany, mortified at being seen in such a vulnerable state, angrily pushed away the cup of water he offered her and warned him to leave her alone. Unfazed, Lin Che gently held her hand and confessed his feelings for her directly.
Tiffany scoffed, calling him "childish" as she pulled away and left, though a faint smile crept onto her face later as she reflected on the encounter. Back at the office, Jin Zeyi was frustrated by his inability to find Luo Tianran. He received a call from Yun Shu, who proposed a meeting, immediately making Jin Zeyi suspect Yun Shu's involvement in the recent events and the smear campaign. He instructed his assistant, Tai, to investigate Yun Shu.
Meanwhile, Tiffany had a meeting with Mr. Shi, who expressed concern about the company's reputation due to the rumors involving her and Jin Zeyi's marriage. He advised her to handle the situation discreetly and warned her about the relentless reporters. Yun Shu's meeting with Jin Zeyi was not to reveal Luo Tianran's location but to warn him against further hurting her and to stay away. Jin Zeyi, asserting his rights as Luo Tianran's husband, demanded to know where she was.
Yun Shu, however, revealed he knew about their contract marriage, stating that apart from their legal status, there was no real difference between Jin Zeyi and him in Luo Tianran's eyes, and that Jin Zeyi had no right to force her back. Meanwhile, Tai discovered that the photos of Luo Tianran, which were part of the smear campaign, had originated from their own company. Jin Zeyi confronted Tiffany about controlling the public opinion against Luo Tianran and releasing the photos.
Tiffany, while having previously controlled public opinion as stated in the plot, vehemently denied releasing the photos during the confrontation. Jin Zeyi, sensing her evasiveness, told her that he no longer trusted her. Tiffany felt he had changed, while he retorted that she had become a stranger. Still unconvinced by Tiffany's denial about the photos, Jin Zeyi ordered Tai to continue investigating until Luo Tianran was found.
Soon after, Jin Zeyi publicly posted a statement on social media expressing his unconditional trust in Luo Tianran and their relationship. This public declaration contradicted the company's previous public relations efforts, leaving Tiffany exasperated. However, she decided to strategically use this shift to portray Jin Zeyi as a pitiful, innocent husband unaware of the schemes around him. Luo Tianran saw Jin Zeyi's statement and pondered his actions, worrying about him enduring the loneliness and storm of public opinion.
She then reflected that Tiffany was the one who truly understood him and had sacrificed much for his career, concluding that Jin Zeyi should cherish Tiffany. Yun Shu, still at the cabin, continued to advise Luo Tianran, implicitly suggesting she shouldn't let Jin Zeyi's actions affect her. Tai later located Luo Tianran at the Flower Sea Cabin. Jin Zeyi rushed there, finding Luo Tianran with Yun Shu. Jin Zeyi immediately apologized to Luo Tianran for his impulsiveness and distrust.
Yun Shu then intervened, reminding Jin Zeyi of their contract marriage and telling him to leave. Jin Zeyi retorted that he had already asserted his rights as Luo Tianran's husband during their earlier meeting, implying Yun Shu should not interfere. Luo Tianran then realized they had met and Yun Shu explained he had wanted to handle certain matters "like a man."
Luo Tianran then tested Jin Zeyi, asking if he would believe the photos if Tiffany were the one exposed in them. Jin Zeyi, without hesitation, stated he would not believe them because Tiffany was irrelevant to him. Misinterpreting his words as unwavering trust in Tiffany, Luo Tianran grew further disappointed and retreated into the cabin. Yun Shu then blocked Jin Zeyi from entering, stating that Luo Tianran's attitude was clear.
Though unable to enter, Jin Zeyi vowed from the doorway that he would wait for her at home. Back in the city, Tai informed Jin Zeyi that public opinion had now shifted, accusing Tiffany of interfering in his marriage. This made Jin Zeyi question the nature of his relationship with Tiffany, and he asked Tai to arrange a meeting with her.
Later, Luo Tianran received a text message from Jin Zeyi, asking her to return home and bring the "small animal" with her. Puzzled, she searched for it, finding the small lizard statue she had been talking to.
Episode 19 Recap
After seeing Luo Tianran, Jin Zeyi belatedly realized she might have misunderstood his relationship with Tiffany. He confronted Tiffany, asking if she had said anything to Luo Tianran. Tiffany admitted she had said things that could mislead Luo Tianran but asserted that she did nothing wrong, especially considering her efforts for Jin Zeyi's career. She pressed him, questioning why he would confront her in the middle of the night.
She observed that he seemed lost and out of control, no longer himself. Jin Zeyi countered, asking if his lack of effort or the company's resources were the issue, reminding her that he helped secure top directors and brands. He questioned if she had become too accustomed to being a superstar and forgotten his origins seven years ago.
Tiffany claimed that he was now willing to discard all her hard work simply because he had fallen in love with Luo Tianran. Jin Zeyi reminded her that she used to be his sole supporter, believing in him and having his back when everyone else doubted him.
Tiffany insisted she remained supportive, but Jin Zeyi reiterated that he only wanted to be a passionate singer, not an idol or a traffic star, and that he wanted to live his own life and pursue his true feelings. Tiffany maintained that he was already a star. Jin Zeyi pressed her again about what she told Luo Tianran before the photo scandal. Tiffany responded that her own suffering was no less than anyone's.
Jin Zeyi noted that she had become estranged from him, despite his own changes. A Tai later informed Jin Zeyi that the photo was released from within the company, and Jin Zeyi's questioning further disappointed Tiffany. Meanwhile, Luo Tianran decided to return home, stating to Jin Zeyi that she hadn't forgiven him but was simply returning to avoid bothering Yun Shu further. Jin Zeyi was inwardly pleased by her return.
He subtly placed several small animal figures in her room, and she smiled upon seeing them, indicating a cautious softening in their relationship. Soon after, A Tai discovered that Jin Zeyi's junior sister, Cheng Shasha, was responsible for releasing the photos. While taking pictures for her, A Tai inadvertently saw her chat records with a friend, revealing the original images of Luo Tianran and Yun Shu.
Cheng Shasha, who secretly harbored feelings for Jin Zeyi, had fabricated intimate photos out of jealousy for his relationship with Luo Tianran. Jin Zeyi brought Cheng Shasha to Luo Tianran to apologize. Cheng Shasha candidly admitted her actions, explaining that she asked her friend to send the original photos and then edited them herself. She expressed remorse for hurting Luo Tianran, confessing her jealousy over Luo Tianran being with Jin Zeyi.
Cheng Shasha then issued a public statement on Weibo, admitting she had fabricated and released the photos, and stating that Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran would settle the matter privately. With the public relations crisis resolved, Jin Zeyi told Luo Tianran it was time to explain everything to their families. Luo Tianran expressed admiration for Cheng Shasha's courage in taking responsibility, calling herself a fan. Jin Zeyi teased her for being foolish, and she retorted the same.
Upon their arrival at the family home for dinner, Jin Zeyi's grandmother and mother were relieved, having seen the news online and realizing the rumors about their relationship were false. However, Jin Wen immediately reprimanded Jin Zeyi for involving Yun Shu in the scandal. He once again expressed his disapproval of Jin Zeyi's career, stating that being a doctor was far more respectable than appearing on stage in flashy clothes, jumping around like a monkey for public entertainment.
He urged Jin Zeyi to return to medical school and take over his hospital, advising him to "do something useful." Jin Zeyi retorted, asserting his autonomy as an adult and refusing to be a "marionette." He accused his father of being selfish and trying to fulfill his own wishes through him, never considering his son's interests or passions. Enraged, Jin Wen demanded Jin Zeyi to leave.
Jin Zeyi, feeling disrespected and misunderstood, stormed out of the house without finishing his meal. Luo Tianran chased after Jin Zeyi, urging him to return and apologize to his father. She reasoned that while Jin Wen might not understand his work, he was genuinely concerned for him. Jin Zeyi, still fuming, refused to apologize, dismissing her attempts to intervene as meddling in his family affairs. He drove off alone, leaving Luo Tianran behind.
Luo Tianran returned to the house to comfort Jin Zeyi's grandmother and mother. Soon after, Jin Zeyi sent Luo Tianran a text message, apologizing for his earlier outburst and offering to pick her up. However, Luo Tianran firmly stated she would only return if he apologized to his father first. Jin Zeyi, equally stubborn, did not agree to her condition. Feeling a bit bored and the atmosphere still awkward at the Jin household, Luo Tianran suggested playing Mahjong.
She managed to persuade Jin Wen to join, even though he seemed serious. To her surprise, Jin Wen transformed during the game, playing skillfully, winning frequently, and even becoming lively and jovial, breaking rules playfully. The four played mahjong happily from day into the night. Luo Tianran noticed how different Jin Wen was compared to his strict demeanor. She asked if Jin Zeyi ever played with them, to which Jin Wen admitted no, conceding his authoritarian nature.
As it grew late, Jin Zeyi's mother invited Luo Tianran to stay the night. She gave Luo Tianran a set of Jin Zeyi's pajamas, and Luo Tianran settled into his room. There, she discovered numerous awards and certificates from Jin Zeyi's childhood, including a "Merit Student" award and a second prize in a national science competition.
She realized he was far from the "hooligan" she had initially imagined, finding some of his childhood photos, including one in a girl's dress, quite amusing. She even playfully took a photo of the cross-dressing image. Later, Jin Zeyi called, surprised to learn she was still at his parents' house and occupying his room. Luo Tianran quipped that she now understood why his father didn't want him to be an idol, even jokingly saying she'd prevent him at all costs.
She then informed him that she had been spending the afternoon playing mahjong with his parents and grandmother, noting how much fun his father had been. Jin Zeyi was astonished, admitting he never knew his father played mahjong. Luo Tianran reminded him that he used to be close to his father, but Jin Zeyi stated that was in the past, believing his father now viewed him as a failure.
Luo Tianran took the opportunity to advise Jin Zeyi to have a calm conversation with his father. She assured him that no parents consider their children failures; rather, they feel love and self-blame, perhaps wishing they could have spared their children any suffering. She urged him to understand his father's true concern, despite his authoritarian demeanor, and not to wait until it was too late to resolve their long-standing estrangement.
Jin Zeyi seemed moved and asked if such a reconciliation was truly possible. Then, unexpectedly, Jin Zeyi offered to pick Luo Tianran up, saying he missed her. Feeling a rush of shyness, Luo Tianran pretended the signal was cutting out. Jin Zeyi, taking her cue, quickly changed the subject to wanting late-night snacks and responsibilities like walking his dog and making breakfast, avoiding repeating his earlier heartfelt confession.
Both Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran were left excited and flustered after the call, each secretly admitting to themselves that they missed the other. Unable to sleep, Luo Tianran went downstairs in the middle of the night and began playing the piano, waking Jin Wen. Jin Wen recognized the melody as Jin Zeyi's song and shared how Jin Zeyi used to play the piano and sing in the house, despite Jin Wen often scolding him for the noise.
Jin Wen showed Luo Tianran a photo album, recounting various childhood anecdotes about Jin Zeyi: learning to ride a bike, his mischievous first day at kindergarten, and a time he broke a fish tank while trying to help with housework, leading to a humorous exchange with his father. He also spoke of Jin Zeyi's early piano talent, how the mischievous boy would become quiet and focused at the instrument, progressing rapidly and being praised as a prodigy.
Luo Tianran realized that despite his stern exterior, Jin Wen deeply loved his son, and Jin Wen confirmed that all parents wish the best for their children. Luo Tianran then shared her own discovery: while cleaning Jin Zeyi's room, she found a collection of tickets for all his concerts, all for the center, front-row seat. She inferred that Jin Zeyi had been waiting for someone to attend his concerts but never managed to invite them.
Episode 20 Recap
Jin Zeyi’s world tour concert was just two days away, and he offered Luo Tianran three VIP tickets. Luo Tianran noted that a ticket was missing for her father, Jin Wen. Jin Zeyi coolly stated that Jin Wen would not attend and told her not to bother. However, Luo Tianran insisted that her father would be there this time and asked Jin Zeyi to promise he would reconcile with him if he showed up.
Jin Zeyi did not give a direct answer, only saying they would see. Luo Tianran secretly discovered that Jin Zeyi had hidden a center-seat ticket for the concert, realizing he was being stubborn but secretly hoping Jin Wen would attend. She kept the tickets, planning to find a way to persuade her father to go. Meanwhile, Yun Shu invited Luo Tianran to meet him at a record store, claiming it was his birthday.
Luo Tianran bought a cake with a longevity blessing to celebrate. Yun Shu then revealed that the day after tomorrow was more significant to him, as it marked the first time he met Luo Tianran when they were children. Unaware that she was the girl he was referring to, Luo Tianran encouraged Yun Shu to pursue her. When he mentioned waiting for the girl by the lake, Luo Tianran expressed her support.
Lin Che had disappeared from Tiffany's sight after his previous confession. His food truck was no longer near the company, and her breakfasts had stopped. Tiffany felt unaccustomed to his absence and realized she didn't even know his name. Remembering Jin Xiaoqin knew him, Tiffany went to the assistant's office to ask for Lin Che’s number, finally learning his name. She then wondered what she would say if she called him, inwardly complaining that young people were unreliable.
Before Tiffany could call, Lin Che appeared downstairs with a bouquet of flowers. He happily informed Tiffany that he had found a new job on the floor above her company, which meant they could commute together. He explained his disappearance by saying he had waited until he passed his probation period to share the good news with her. Tiffany was secretly delighted, as she also had feelings for Lin Che.
Unlike younger girls who played games, Tiffany was straightforward in both her professional and personal life. Since she liked Lin Che, she had no intention of rejecting his advances. The two officially started a sweet relationship. On the night of the concert, Luo Tianran delivered the tickets to the Jin family and, along with Jin Zeyi’s grandmother and mother, tried to persuade Jin Wen to attend.
Jin Wen claimed he needed to review medical cases and had no time, but he could not help but secretly listen to their lively descriptions of the concert. To give Jin Wen, who was stubborn but soft-hearted, an excuse to go, Grandma and Mother staged a scene. Grandma pretended to have stomach cramps from eating too many tangerines, and Luo Tianran feigned an urgent matter that prevented her from going to the concert.
Feeling that his son would be sad if no family members attended his performance, Jin Wen pretended he had to go to the hospital for an emergency and took the tickets as he left. However, Grandma, too excited, truly hurt her back when getting up. Jin Zeyi’s mother quickly took her to the hospital without alerting Jin Wen.
Meanwhile, Luo Tianran was at home discussing outfits for the concert with Lin Che and Jin Xiaoqin when Lin Che accidentally played a familiar cassette tape. It was a tape Yun Shu had given her, claiming it held something very important to him. As Luo Tianran listened to the music on the tape, she suddenly remembered that she was the girl Yun Shu had been waiting for all this time. Her father had recorded that music for her, and she had given the tape to Yun Shu as comfort when they were children.
Episode 21 Recap
Luo Tianran was lost in thought, having recently realized that she was the girl Yun Shu had been looking for, a realization prompted by a cassette tape originally recorded by her father for her, which she had given to Yun Shu years ago. When Jin Xiaoqin noticed Luo Tianran lost in thought, she asked what was on her mind. Luo Tianran excused herself by saying she was wondering when her grandma and mother would leave for the concert.
She called her mother, only to learn that her grandma had suddenly fallen ill and was on the way to the hospital. Luo Tianran immediately rushed there. Her grandma, despite being diagnosed with acute enteritis and assured by doctors that she would recover with rest, insisted that Luo Tianran go to Jin Zeyi’s concert, assuring her that Jin Mama would stay and take care of her. Hesitantly, Luo Tianran agreed, promising to return soon, and hurried away.
Before leaving the hospital, she placed the cassette tape on Yun Shu’s office desk. Moments after Luo Tianran left, Yun Shu returned to his office. He saw the tape and knew she had been there. Yun Shu had initially planned to wait by the lake two days later, on the anniversary of their first meeting. However, despite knowing Luo Tianran would be rushing to the concert that night, he still went to the lakeside bench, hoping she might still come.
He waited there for her late into the night. Meanwhile, Luo Tianran, Jin Xiaoqin, and Lin Che were driving to the concert. Lin Che assured them they were almost there. Jin Zeyi, backstage, called Luo Tianran to urge her to hurry, even offering to send his assistant to pick them up, but Tiffany took his phone, telling him to focus on preparing for the stage. Lin Che, attempting a shortcut, got lost, and their car lost cell signal.
They then decided to search for the nearest 5G cell tower to catch the live stream. After some searching, Jin Xiaoqin spotted the tower. They pulled over, but the signal was still poor. In a moment of ingenuity, Jin Xiaoqin, being small, climbed onto the car roof and held the signal receiver high, finally allowing Luo Tianran to watch the concert’s final song.
On stage, Jin Zeyi first addressed the audience, thanking them for their support throughout his seven-year career, calling them his greatest pride and stars. He then dedicated a song to his grandmother, mother, and father, though he noticed his parents weren't yet in the VIP section. Then, before the last song, Jin Zeyi announced he had met a truly special and beloved person who taught him about freedom and true love, calling her his "universe."
Luo Tianran, watching on the car’s TV, realized he was speaking about her. He revealed the song's inspiration was Luo Tianran, his wife, and sang "Only Dad Is Good in This World," using a melody she had written for her father as a child, as a gift to her, promising she would never be alone. As he sang, holographic projections of Luo Tianran and her father appeared beside him on stage, filling the stadium.
Luo Tianran was deeply moved to tears by Jin Zeyi's heartfelt gesture and the sight of her father's hologram. The song's style was a departure from Jin Zeyi’s usual music, but its profound emotion captivated the entire audience. Backstage, Tiffany, reflecting on their challenging seven-year journey from nothing to success, was also overcome with emotion. She joined the cheering fans, turning on her phone flashlight and waving it like a star.
Jin Wen, Jin Zeyi’s father, arrived late but found his seat in the center. A nearby fan offered him a cheering sign. Watching Jin Zeyi perform with such dedication, Jin Wen suddenly realized how hurtful his past criticisms had been, remembering how he used to describe his son performing "like a monkey." He saw the genuine appreciation in the tearful eyes of the fans around him.
Unconsciously, he began to shout Jin Zeyi’s name with the crowd, cheering for his son. Seeing his father in the audience, Jin Zeyi was visibly touched. Perhaps, as Luo Tianran had once said, he and his father were not adversaries but simply too similar, both reluctant to show vulnerability. In a powerful moment, in front of all his fans, he looked at Jin Wen and declared, "I love you," then bowed deeply. The concert concluded successfully amidst a heartwarming atmosphere.
After the concert, Jin Zeyi went to meet Luo Tianran. She ran towards him, embracing him tightly. She thanked him for the song, which allowed her to see her beloved father again. Jin Zeyi then presented her with a new digital recorder, telling her it contained all the concert’s video footage, compensating for the old one he had accidentally damaged. Luo Tianran was even more moved and hugged him again, both embracing each other tightly.
Meanwhile, Yun Shu, who had waited by the lake bench until late into the night, finally decided to leave. As he departed, he left the cassette tape, the one he had cherished for so many years, behind—a silent farewell to the girl who had long occupied his heart.
Episode 22 Recap
Tiffany was in high spirits, enjoying her sweet romance with Lin Che and celebrating Jin Zeyi's highly successful concert. Lin Che frequently called her, flirting and offering to bring her food, making her smile despite her playful complaints about gaining weight.
However, her good mood was abruptly interrupted when she received photos of Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's marriage contract from Ling Xiquan, who had earlier expressed to Meng Meng his intention for Jin Zeyi's concert to be the finale of his career. Tiffany met with Ling Xiquan, who demanded the male lead role in Director Guan's new movie in exchange for his silence on the fake marriage.
Ling Xiquan made it clear he believed Tiffany could secure the role for him, framing it as a mutually beneficial "cooperation" where they would each get what they wanted. To protect Jin Zeyi's future, Tiffany reluctantly agreed to Ling Xiquan's demands. She immediately tasked A Tai with arranging a meeting with Director Guan's assistant. Simultaneously, she revealed to A Tai that the marriage contract had been stolen by Ling Xiquan and expressed her suspicion of an internal company mole.
She instructed A Tai to find an opportunity to uncover the culprit, but explicitly told him not to inform Jin Zeyi or Luo Tianran, opting to handle the delicate matter discreetly. Meanwhile, Jin Zeyi was oblivious to the impending crisis, focusing instead on his plan to confess his feelings to Luo Tianran.
He first accompanied her to Mr. Xiaosa's studio, where her music was praised and chosen by Director Guan for his new film's theme song, much to Luo Tianran's delight. Later, at a gathering with Director Guan and Mr. Xiaosa, Luo Tianran, thrilled, enthusiastically promoted Jin Zeyi for Director Guan's upcoming musical film. Jin Zeyi then presented Luo Tianran with a custom-made jigsaw puzzle, intended to spell out a proposal.
He left her to assemble it, expecting her to finish within an hour, and anxiously passed the time exercising with A Tai. However, Luo Tianran struggled with the puzzle, only managing to piece together "Are you there?" before her dog, Erlang Shen, consumed the remaining pieces. Frustrated by this failed attempt, Jin Zeyi sought out Jin Xiaoqin for advice.
Jin Xiaoqin, having known Luo Tianran for many years, agreed to help, but only after Jin Zeyi purchased all of her expired products. Initially hesitant, Jin Zeyi quickly relented when Jin Xiaoqin mentioned that Yun Shu had bought an entire record store for Luo Tianran. Following Jin Xiaoqin's guidance, Jin Zeyi bought an entire ski resort and transformed it into a romantic fairy-tale wonderland, adorned with numerous photos of Luo Tianran.
He then instructed A Tai to call Luo Tianran, telling her he was filming a program and asking her to visit. Unbeknownst to him, Luo Tianran herself was contemplating how to confess her feelings to Jin Zeyi, receiving encouragement from Lin Che to be proactive just before A Tai's call came through. While at the ski resort setup, Tiffany devised a trap for the internal mole.
In front of other employees, she conspicuously handed A Tai what she claimed were Ling Xiquan's "important documents," instructing him to place them on her office desk and ensure no one saw him. That night, her assistant, Amy, was caught on camera by Tiffany searching her office. Panicked, Amy confessed that Meng Meng, Ling Xiquan's girlfriend, had blackmailed her into stealing the contract.
It was revealed that Meng Meng had deliberately hired a lawyer to uncover Jin Zeyi's true marital status, which was unmarried. Tiffany immediately contacted Meng Meng, dismissing Amy's actions but warning Meng Meng not to overdo her schemes, asserting that she disliked being controlled. Meng Meng retorted, accusing Tiffany of breaking her promise, and pointed to a trending topic about Director Guan and Jin Zeyi's supposed collaboration.
Tiffany found the trending topic, which included Luo Tianran's excited post about working with Director Guan, along with various fan comments. The truth was that Director Guan was simply using Luo Tianran's music, and the photo taken with Jin Zeyi and Mr. Xiaosa was an innocent commemorative snapshot that had inadvertently created a public misunderstanding.
Tiffany frantically instructed her team to remove the trending topic and tried to calm Ling Xiquan, but he was already enraged and unreachable, fueled by anger and disbelief. Enraged, Ling Xiquan publicly exposed the marriage contract and Jin Zeyi's actual legal marital status as unmarried. Jin Zeyi had refrained from officially registering their marriage to avoid holding Luo Tianran back, which now became a significant vulnerability.
Tiffany attempted to explain to Ling Xiquan that no agreement had been reached with Director Guan, Jin Zeyi was completely unaware, and it was Luo Tianran's personal action, offering to negotiate if he agreed not to reveal anything further. Despite Tiffany's frantic efforts to contain the situation, public opinion quickly spiraled. News of Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's fake marriage exploded, leading to widespread accusations that Jin Zeyi had deceived his fans for career advancement.
Unaware of the unfolding chaos, Jin Zeyi led Luo Tianran into the beautifully decorated ski resort. He revealed that he had bought the entire place for her, declaring that everything, from the festive elk to the twinkling Christmas tree and even Santa Claus, now belonged to her. Holding her hand, Jin Zeyi delivered a heartfelt confession, expressing his deep gratitude for her presence in his life and how she had taught him about freedom and true happiness.
He told her he wanted her always by his side and asked her to be with him. Luo Tianran, giggling with joy, responded by shyly kissing his forehead. Overjoyed, Jin Zeyi embraced her, twirling her around. As they continued to play happily, chasing each other in the snow, a frantic Tiffany rushed in, out of breath, to deliver the shocking news: "The truth has been exposed!"
Episode 23 Recap
The public exposure of Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's contractual marriage caused an uproar, leaving Tiffany in a desperate struggle to manage the crisis. She faced numerous contract terminations from advertising partners and was reprimanded by Mr. Shi, who accused her of dereliction of duty and threatened to remove her as Jin Zeyi's agent if she failed to resolve the situation within a day.
Tiffany pleaded for more time, assuring a jewelry partner that the company would compensate for any losses. Luo Tianran also faced repercussions as her collaboration with Director Guan was canceled, despite the director highly praising her music. Her master explained that Director Guan was under immense pressure. Though Jin Zeyi was upset about the lost opportunity, Luo Tianran calmly stated that it was the director's loss for not using her music, which eased Jin Zeyi's frustration.
She even expressed a desire to refine the piece, claiming she was not entirely satisfied with it. The couple returned home to face their worried family elders, who demanded to know the truth about the online rumors.
Initially hesitant, Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran confessed that their marriage was indeed contractual, initially for the house, but their relationship had since evolved into genuine affection, with Luo Tianran explaining that she found Jin Zeyi to be a "lovely and kind" person after spending time with him. Jin Zeyi's father pressed him on why he hadn't given Luo Tianran a proper marriage if he had feelings for her, urging him to take responsibility as a man.
Despite initial anger, especially from the grandmother, the family ultimately accepted their confession, with the grandmother declaring that she would only recognize Luo Tianran as her granddaughter-in-law, now that their feelings were real. Luo Tianran expressed surprise at how quickly they were forgiven, to which Jin Zeyi noted, "It's because we are family." He then pondered how "non-family" members would react to their mistakes, concerned about fan backlash.
The following day, Tiffany secretly met with Luo Tianran to discuss the scandal. On behalf of the company, Tiffany proposed that Luo Tianran issue a statement taking full responsibility for the contractual marriage, arguing that Jin Zeyi's career was at stake due to the damage to his image and reputation. Luo Tianran immediately agreed, surprising Tiffany, who then fully explained the grave consequences, including online harassment, public shaming, and the potential ruin of her own music career.
Luo Tianran remained firm, stating that Jin Zeyi, as a celebrity and spiritual pillar for many, was more important, and she was willing to bear the burden for the "lovely year" she had with him. Her selfless determination moved Tiffany, who admitted she now understood why Jin Zeyi loved her.
With Luo Tianran's consent, the company initiated a public narrative that portrayed her as a manipulative gold-digger who exploited Jin Zeyi's sympathy for a house, while Jin Zeyi was painted as an innocent victim. The company had initially adopted this strategy, but Jin Zeyi vehemently refused to follow it, stating that Luo Tianran also had dreams and he would prioritize protecting them over his own career.
Consequently, public opinion quickly turned, with Jin Zeyi's fans withdrawing their support for Luo Tianran and online slander against her escalating. When Jin Xiaoqin, defending Luo Tianran in a diner, confronted some gossiping customers, Luo Tianran intervened, revealing she had agreed to the company's plan, believing it was better for her to be sacrificed than Jin Zeyi. She even hinted at leaving.
Unwilling to accept this outcome, Jin Zeyi confronted Tiffany, declaring his intention to hold a press conference and claim full responsibility. Tiffany furiously warned him that such a move would ruin his career and lead to him being "frozen out" by the company, but Jin Zeyi insisted that he was willing to give up "everything" for Luo Tianran. Yielding to Jin Zeyi's unwavering resolve, Tiffany arranged a press conference.
Before stepping onto the stage, she confirmed with him one last time if he would regret his decision, even if it meant being "frozen out" by the company. Upon receiving his firm "No, I won't," Tiffany decided to support him wholeheartedly. At the press conference, Jin Zeyi publicly confessed that the marriage was indeed a contract, but clarified that it was "his" fault, not Luo Tianran's.
He praised Luo Tianran as a "lovely, kind, and hard-working girl" and a talented composer, declaring her the "love of his life" whom he wished to protect. He took full responsibility for all damages and pleaded with the public to give them space and not to blame Luo Tianran, hoping she could continue her music career. After the press conference concluded, Jin Zeyi returned home to find Luo Tianran gone. He discovered a farewell letter and a torn marriage contract.
In her letter, Luo Tianran explained that she felt her presence would only hinder his career and subject him to more public scrutiny, despite her deep affection for him. She urged him not to abandon his musical dreams, promising to support him from afar and stating her eternal love. Just before her departure, in a cherished moment reminiscent of a dream, Jin Zeyi had carried her through the rain.
He had revealed his knowledge of her preferences, gathered from Jin Xiaoqin, and she had playfully hinted at wanting to be his wife again in the future, a wish he did not hear clearly. She had also visited a restaurant to resign.
Episode 24 (Ending) Recap
Luo Tianran disappeared, and despite efforts from Jin Xiaoqin and Lin Che, no one could find her. Jin Zeyi, having been terminated by his company and announced his retirement from the entertainment industry due to his own actions, remained in the Heart-racing House, holding onto the hope of Luo Tianran's return. A year swiftly passed. Tiffany and Lin Che's relationship had grown stable, and they were planning a trip together.
Before they left, Lin Che entrusted Jin Zeyi with the keys to the Heart-racing car, calling it a cherished symbol of his friendship with Luo Tianran and Jin Xiaoqin. In return, Jin Zeyi presented them with a baby's breath flowerpot, stating it was a gift from Luo Tianran, and wished them happiness, urging Lin Che to take good care of himself. Meanwhile, Jin Xiaoqin had moved into a new apartment.
On her moving day, her younger brother, who had previously caused her to spend all her savings repaying his stock debts, unexpectedly appeared, demanding more money. In a moment of desperation, Jin Xiaoqin claimed to have a tall, muscular boyfriend to fend him off. Just then, A Tai, who happened to live next door, emerged and helped Jin Xiaoqin get rid of her demanding brother. He even thoughtfully helped her clean and organize her new home.
A subtle, unspoken connection began to form between Jin Xiaoqin and A Tai. During this time, Yun Shu had dedicated himself to volunteer work at a hospital in the suburbs, assisting visually impaired children with their rehabilitation. He had also started a relationship with Lin Lu, the former front desk lady from the record store, and they were doing well. Unexpectedly, Yun Shu encountered Luo Tianran at a flower shop in the same remote area.
Luo Tianran had opened the flower shop there, explaining why she had been so difficult to find. She revealed that she had been writing new music and, despite offers from producers like Mr. Xiaosa for other artists, she had turned them down because she hoped Jin Zeyi would be the one to sing her compositions.
Yun Shu noted her progress in songwriting and asked if she planned to return to the city now that the past controversies had subsided, but she stated she hadn't made up her mind. Before leaving, Yun Shu introduced Lin Lu to Luo Tianran, and Luo Tianran gifted Lin Lu a beautiful bouquet of baby's breath. After his encounter with Luo Tianran, Yun Shu sought out Jin Zeyi, handing him the card from the bouquet.
He candidly admitted his past feelings for Luo Tianran, explaining they had known each other since childhood, but he had long understood that she held affections for someone else – someone he realized was Jin Zeyi. Yun Shu then revealed that Luo Tianran had written a song specifically for Jin Zeyi, waiting for his return to the music scene to sing it.
He urged Jin Zeyi not to let this opportunity slip away, finally disclosing Luo Tianran's location at the remote flower shop. Jin Zeyi immediately rushed over, having also prepared a hot air balloon for the proposal. After a year apart, their longing was even stronger, and they shared a tender embrace. On the balcony, Luo Tianran remarked on Jin Zeyi's handsome appearance, but also expressed a renewed sense of missing her deceased father while admiring the beautiful scenery.
Understanding her sentiments, Jin Zeyi began to sing "Only Dad is Good" and, looking up at the sky, introduced himself as her son-in-law. He then knelt and proposed marriage. Luo Tianran, wanting her father's approval, asked him aloud. Jin Zeyi, echoing her sentiment, called out to the sky, mimicking her father's approval, "Marry him!" and slipped the ring onto her finger as she tearfully accepted.
Immediately following their heartfelt reunion and proposal, Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran went to the Bureau of Civil Affairs to obtain their marriage certificate. The staff recognized them and offered their congratulations. As they exited, they were met by a throng of reporters. Jin Zeyi, facing the cameras, proudly displayed their marriage certificate and publicly declared Luo Tianran his lawfully wedded wife. Soon after, they held a more intimate wedding ceremony, attended only by close family and friends.
While less grand than their previous attempt, this wedding was genuine and filled with heartfelt joy. Under the blessings of their loved ones, Jin Zeyi tenderly kissed Luo Tianran. Following their wedding, Jin Zeyi announced his return to the entertainment industry by holding a global charity concert, with all proceeds dedicated to children in impoverished regions. A significant highlight was his plan to perform the song written by Luo Tianran.
At the press conference, Shi Lang, from EG Entertainment, surprisingly appeared. Instead of causing trouble, he announced that EG Entertainment would cover all expenses for Jin Zeyi's charity concert, expressing his support for Jin Zeyi's comeback and the charitable cause. Shi Lang admitted his past focus on quick profits had caused him to overlook the feelings of his artists like Jin Zeyi, and thanked him for making him realize his mistakes and change for the better.
He also praised Luo Tianran's song "Midsummer is Full of Love," declaring himself a super fan, and affectionately addressed her as "Mrs. Jin." With this, Jin Zeyi and his former agency reconciled, and news of his high-profile comeback with his beloved wife spread widely, igniting anticipation for the return of the talented pop idol. Their married life continued to be filled with warmth and sweetness.
One morning, Luo Tianran was seen reflecting on her deceased father, reassuring him that she was doing well, and recalling her childhood adoption and the significance of her name, "Tianran," given to her by her loving father.
