At the awards ceremony, Song Yang, who won the Best Actor award of the year, was invited on stage, but the veteran actor Chen Jiangge, who was supposed to present the award to him, was nowhere to be found. Faced with this awkward situation, the host had no choice but to let Song Yang improvise.

Song Yang is an actor from the Beijing-Han Drama Troupe, and as the head of the troupe, Luo Xia is very proud of his achievements.

Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye are a married couple and veteran actors of the Beijing-Han Drama Troupe. Ding Momo is the daughter of Ding Kemang and his ex-wife, and she has always had a good relationship with her stepmother Jiang Ye.

As an experienced actor, Jiang Ye won many awards for her acting skills when she was young. However, as time passed, many new popular actresses emerged, and her status gradually declined. She also had to adjust her schedule to accommodate their shooting schedules.

One day, while filming, Jiang Ye was waiting for the young actress Su Xiaotang, but her assistant revealed that Su Xiaotang couldn't remember her lines and had to use numbers and nursery rhymes instead. Everyone laughed it off as a joke.

Jiang Ye criticized Su Xiaotang for delaying the shoot because of changing her necklace, which angered Su Xiaotang, and she immediately quit the shoot.

The Beijing-Han Drama Troupe is rehearsing a new play called "Father and Son." During the rehearsal, Ding Kemang learned that the play was postponed due to a lack of funding caused by a sponsor's withdrawal. Ding Kemang has always been fond of the script of "Father and Son," and he was disappointed. Luo Xia suggested that he find his disciple Song Yang to gain more attention and popularity. Ding Kemang was worried that Song Yang's basic skills had deteriorated since he left the troupe.

In the car, Ding Momo saw Jiang Ye, who was angry and frustrated, and learned about her conflict with Su Xiaotang on the set. When Jiang Ye returned home, she complained to Ding Kemang that her looks were better than her acting skills and her lines. Ding Kemang comforted her.

At the celebration banquet, Su Xiaotang deliberately approached Song Yang to gain more attention, and her assistant secretly filmed their seemingly ambiguous actions. Song Yang knew her intentions but ignored her.

Although Song Yang is now famous, he knows that he must have enough skills to establish himself in the entertainment industry. However, his basic skills cannot keep up with his fame. Just as he was worried about being surpassed by other rising stars, Luo Xia invited him to participate in the play "Father and Son." This would not only help him improve his basic skills but also resolve his conflict with his master Ding Kemang, which made Song Yang very excited.

However, Song Yang's excitement was not shared by his agent Kuang Nanshan, who was always looking for opportunities to create hype. Song Yang contacted Luo Xia personally and expressed his desire to participate in "Father and Son," but he was worried about Ding Kemang's dissatisfaction with him. After Luo Xia assured him, Song Yang felt relieved.

Song Yang and Luo Xia decided to explain the situation to Ding Kemang at his birthday banquet. However, Song Yang suffered a sudden injury to his arm while filming a fight scene.

Due to his injury, Song Yang was forbidden to leave the house by Kuang Nanshan. Song Yang pretended to be asleep and tricked his assistant Xiao Li, who was left to monitor him, and then secretly slipped away.

At this time, Ding Kemang and others had been waiting at the birthday banquet hotel for over an hour. Jiang Ye, who was already annoyed because the producer asked her to apologize to Su Xiaotang, became even more frustrated and made sarcastic remarks to Luo Xia before preparing to go to the bathroom. Jiang Ye was worried about being recognized, so she put on sunglasses. However, when she went to the supermarket with Ding Momo earlier, no one recognized her. Instead, fans who asked Su Xiaotang for help with gifts surrounded her. Jiang Ye knew then that no one was paying attention to her.

Because Jiang Ye refused to compromise, the producer forced the screenwriter to kill off her character and end filming. After Ding Kemang received a call from the producer and learned of the situation, he was worried that Jiang Ye would not be able to accept it and did not plan to tell her. However, when Jiang Ye returned, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ding Kemang and Ding Momo. She checked Ding Kemang's phone and found out about the conversation with the producer. Jiang Ye knew that Ding Kemang and Ding Momo meant well, so she didn't get angry but instead laughed. Ding Kemang and Ding Momo also knew that this was the calm before the storm. At the dinner table, Jiang Ye criticized the actors and director and was glad to be able to leave early.

Ding Momo celebrated with alcohol as instructed by Jiang Ye, but she ran into Song Yang in the hallway and informed him of Jiang Ye's situation. However, Jiang Ye thought that she would be fine with Ding Kemang around.

When Jiang Ye saw Song Yang, she looked back on the past and made sarcastic remarks about Su Xiaotang, Song Yang's so-called girlfriend. Song Yang had nothing to say and listened quietly. He poured wine for Jiang Ye, but she refused and mocked him. Song Yang complimented Jiang Ye on her fame when she was young, but accidentally touched on her age. Ding Momo and Luo Xia immediately tried to make up for it. Jiang Ye began to speak out alone, cursing Su Xiaotang and advising Song Yang to seize his youth. She then mentioned classmates who relied on men to get on camera. Ding Kemang heard that Jiang Ye was unhappy with his failure to help her with her work and left in anger. The whole scene was captured on video by a waiter, and Ding Kemang's birthday banquet ended in a mess.

When Ding Momo returned to pack her things, she discovered that the waiter had taken a video and paid him off.

On the way back, Jiang Ye mocked Ding Kemang by reciting "The Sun Chant" by Wen Yiduo. Ding Kemang was angry but did not explode. When he returned home, he put Jiang Ye to sleep and casually dismissed Luo Xia, who came to ask about "Father and Son."

The next day, Kuang Nanshan learned from Song Yang that he wanted to act in a play. No matter how she advised him, Song Yang insisted on his own ideas.

In order to continue riding on Song Yang's popularity, Su Xiaotang prepared soup for him during their filming break. After Song Yang refused, Su Xiaotang persisted and Song Yang became angry and overturned the soup. When Kuang Nanshan asked him about it, Song Yang was angry and refused to be paired with Su Xiaotang.

While doing hydrotherapy with Ding Momo, Jiang Ye learned that Ding Momo had lost her job. Knowing that Ding Momo intended to work at An Lun's company, Jiang Ye suggested that Ding Momo directly contact An Lun because of their relationship as schoolmates.

Song Yang took off his mask and greeted the fans waiting outside, which caused dissatisfaction from his manager Kuang Nanshan. Song Yang didn't care about Kuang Nanshan's concern about the impact of the photos on his image. Song Yang still didn't give up his desire to act in a play, but Kuang Nanshan advised him to give up due to his exposure.

Upon learning that Song Yang wanted to act in a play to repay Ding Kemang's kindness and improve his acting skills, Kuang Nanshan immediately asked about her position in Song Yang's eyes. Knowing that Song Yang also regarded her as a benefactor, Kuang Nanshan hoped that Song Yang would repay her in return.

Kuang Nanshan fought for Song Yang to play the male third role in a new movie by the internationally renowned director Andy, although it was only a supporting role. Despite the star-studded cast, Kuang Nanshan believed that participating in this film would not only allow Song Yang to learn acting skills from the leading actors and actresses but also improve his English proficiency. Seeing that Song Yang was not interested, Kuang Nanshan was disappointed and tied her interests to Song Yang's, then decided to help him decline the invitation from the play troupe. Song Yang saw that Kuang Nanshan was emotionally charged and decided to wait for her to calm down before discussing it again.

After reading the script for "Father and Son" at night, Song Yang was moved by the story and didn't want to miss the opportunity to improve his acting skills with a good script, so he decided to act in it.

Ding Momo was very happy to receive a reply from An Lun asking her to join the company. She believed that she could get this opportunity largely because Jiang Ye gave her advice and learned some skills needed for white-collar workers from her.

In order to be able to act in "Father and Son", Song Yang took the initiative to invite Kuang Nanshan and spoke his heart out about his age and lack of representative works, as well as his definition of play actors and popular stars in his mind. With some cute and stubborn behavior, he finally convinced Kuang Nanshan to agree.

Upon learning that Song Yang had convinced Kuang Nanshan, Luo Xia immediately informed Ding Kemang. Ding Kemang was worried that Song Yang was impulsive and also worried about his acting skills.

Returning to the play troupe, Song Yang looked at the familiar venue and recalled his past. Luo Xia persuaded Song Yang to memorize his lines and prepared to create a chance encounter between him and Ding Kemang.

Song Yang has a fear of heights, so he jumped off a high platform blindfolded to show Ding Kemang his determination to act in the play. With Luo Xia's arrangement, Ding Kemang also saw this scene.

Ding Kemang helped Song Yang up and educated him with a few words. Then the master and apprentice talked, and Song Yang expressed his determination to return to the play troupe and act in the play, and apologized for his previous impatience and leaving the play troupe without listening to Ding Kemang's advice. Ding Kemang learned that Song Yang regretted it and talked to him about the past, and finally agreed to act in "Father and Son" with him.

On the first day of work at the new company, Ding Momo was considered a scheming woman who deliberately approached An Lun by Tan Xiaoxin.

As Luo Xia had something urgent come up, Kuang Nanshan met with Ding Kemang instead. After talking, Kuang Nanshan found that the play had a longer rehearsal time than the ten-day deadline she had prepared for Song Yang, and the two clashed over it.

There is a heated argument between Kuang Nanshan and Ding Kemang. Kuang Nanshan compares Ding Kemang, an old artist who is ignored, to Song Yang, who has many fans but no acting skills. However, Ding Kemang is angered when he hears Kuang Nanshan say that he is using Song Yang as a cash cow. He storms off.

Just then, Luo Xia calls Ding Kemang and asks him to get Kuang Nanshan's phone number. Ding Kemang reluctantly invites Kuang Nanshan back to his place under the pretext of giving her a blanket.

After Kuang Nanshan returns, Ding Kemang scolds her for agreeing to let Song Yang play the lead in "Father and Son" just to boost her own reputation. He is so angry that he decides to quit the play. Luo Xia tries to persuade him to stay, but Kuang Nanshan is also upset with him for insulting her. Eventually, Luo Xia apologizes to Kuang Nanshan.

Kuang Nanshan thinks that Ding Kemang is a hypocrite. Luo Xia tries to mediate between them, but Ding Kemang is still angry and slaps Luo Xia. Later, Ding Kemang finds out that Su Xiaotang has been spreading rumors about Jiang Ye online. Jiang Ye is upset and they argue. They watch a video of their argument from their birthday party and Jiang Ye is hurt by the media's comments about her.

Song Yang meets with Kuang Nanshan and she tells him that all her skills are just to please investors. She hints that the theater company invited him to play the lead just for the box office. She wants to maximize Song Yang's interests and decides to make him the male lead in "Father and Son." However, this means changing the script, which Song Yang disagrees with.

Song Yang wants to be the male lead and talks to Ding Momo about it. She sees through his intentions and thinks he is hypocritical and disrespectful to his teacher. Ding Kemang and Luo Xia discuss casting for "Father and Son" and He Shui volunteers for the role of Tao Tao. However, Luo Xia knows that she is not suitable for the role. He is afraid to offend someone and asks Ding Kemang for help. Later, he praises Kong Liang for his acting skills and suggests he play the role of Song Yang's B-side.

When Luo Xia is about to hold a meeting to discuss the script for "Father and Son," he receives a message from Kuang Nanshan asking him to make Song Yang the male lead and increase his screen time. Ding Kemang is furious because this means changing the script.

Jiang Ye and Kuang Nanshan had a conflict over the script changes, and neither of them would back down. Kuang Nanshan claimed that she grew up watching Jiang Ye's movies, which was a way of saying that Jiang Ye was old. This made Jiang Ye very angry. While they were still confronting each other, Luo Xia received a call informing him that Teacher Qin had fallen ill. This ended their argument.

Song Yang and Ding Momo took Teacher Qin to the hospital. Thanks to Song Yang's CPR skills, Teacher Qin's condition stabilized after being rescued. Momo was angry with Song Yang for wanting to change the script and didn't pay much attention to him. Ding Kemang called Song Yang and said he wanted to go to his house. Song Yang hurried back, and Ding Kemang asked about the house's situation. In fact, he came to confirm whether the decision to cast the male lead was the company's idea or Song Yang's. Song Yang said it was the company's decision, and he had to follow it. Ding Kemang comforted him, saying that the audience's full attendance at his award ceremony was a recognition of his talent.

Song Yang talked about his situation and said that hype was a skill. He felt that everything he had was fleeting, and when the company's profits were lower than the cost, they would make changes. He couldn't sing, but he had to lip-sync to package himself. If he made a mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable. He had thought about how long he could keep going, but the company might think the same way and kick him out when they no longer needed him. Song Yang begged Ding Kemang for two months to work together to make this play a success. Ding Kemang told him that he was worried that Song Yang couldn't even handle the role of the second male lead. Song Yang said that he needed "Father and Son," and "Father and Son" needed him. They should work together to achieve a win-win situation. Ding Kemang told him that determination and wishes alone couldn't achieve everything. Luo Xia invited him to direct the play because he was worried that the play would lose money. If he came and messed it up, what was the point? Song Yang was disappointed and thought that Ding Kemang cared about the play, but Ding Kemang said that he cared about all plays, but he cared more about this one.

Ding Momo came back and saw Jiang Ye angry. Jiang Ye complained that Song Yang wasn't even qualified to be an extra when he was young. Ding Kemang told Song Yang that he couldn't play the male lead, and Jiang Ye suggested that she could try to get investment and even finance the film herself. On the other hand, Kuang Nanshan sent a message to Luo Xia asking for changes to the script, which made Luo Xia very difficult. The next morning, Luo Xia called Ding Kemang to discuss the script changes and the problems that would arise if Song Yang played the male lead. Because Momo was responsible for the script adaptation and dialogue, Luo Xia wanted Ding Kemang to talk to her. Only when Ding Kemang spoke to her could Momo agree to make changes. He Shui came to find Luo Xia and insisted on playing Tao Tao, saying that it was her turn. Ding Kemang found an excuse to leave, and Luo Xia patiently explained that it was not up to him alone to decide, and the Art Committee had to make the decision.

Ding Momo was approached by Luo Xia, who immediately began to persuade her. Momo realized that he needed something from her, probably related to the script. Luo Xia claimed that she had written most of the lines for the son's role in the script, and that she needed her help with the changes. Momo asked if Song Yang would play the male lead, to which Luo Xia replied that he had to, even though he knew it wasn't ideal. He believed that Song Yang's presence was necessary and that it might lead to a new path. Luo Xia was surprised that Ding Kemang had agreed to Song Yang's unreasonable demands. Momo didn't want Luo Xia to waste his efforts, so she told him that Song Yang wouldn't be coming because Ding Kemang had talked to him about it the day before. Luo Xia was angry and went to the theater to confront Ding Kemang.

Luo Xia blamed Jiang Ye and Momo for the situation. Ding Kemang explained that he had approached Song Yang himself, and that Jiang Ye and Momo had no idea. Luo Xia was still upset, feeling that Ding Kemang had betrayed him. Ding Kemang explained that he was afraid of ruining the play, and that if the script was changed carelessly, the audience would be disappointed. Luo Xia complained, and Ding Kemang knew he needed to vent, so he didn't argue.

Song Yang came to the troupe to talk to Ding Kemang about the play. Luo Xia changed his attitude when he saw him, thinking that there might be a chance. After they rehearsed together, Ding Kemang said that Song Yang had improved, but he could only sense his resentment. He then gave him specific guidance. Song Yang said he really wanted to play the male lead and asked Ding Kemang to give him a chance. Ding Kemang hesitated, but agreed to try it out. Luo Xia was finally happy.

Jiang Ye met Kuang Nanshan, who said that the play Song Yang was in was not "Father and Son," but "Son and Father." They argued, and Luo Xia and Ding Kemang rushed over to check. Kuang Nanshan gave Luo Xia the printed contract, but Jiang Ye snatched it away when she saw that Song Yang's role would take up more than 80% of the play. She tore up the contract, and Kuang Nanshan wasn't angry, saying that they could just print another one. Jiang Ye was angry and accused Song Yang of taking Ding Kemang's role. When she suggested that she could find sponsors, Kuang Nanshan exposed her as a washed-up star who couldn't even get investors to listen to her.

Momo asked An Lun to invest in "Father and Son" and suggested that they acquire Kuang Nanshan's company. Jiang Ye scolded Ding Kemang for agreeing to let Song Yang play the male lead. Ding Kemang said he saw Song Yang's sincerity in wanting to learn. Jiang Ye accused him of ruining the play and asked why he would let an unqualified person play the male lead. Ding Kemang said he would talk to her when she calmed down. Jiang Ye said she wouldn't calm down unless Song Yang didn't play the male lead.

Luo Xia blamed Jiang Ye for almost ruining the troupe. She had angered Kuang Nanshan, and Song Yang wouldn't come now. Meanwhile, Momo went to see Kuang Nanshan to discuss financing and acquisition. Kuang Nanshan thought the project was promising and agreed to cooperate.

Jiang Ye went to the troupe to confront Luo Xia, saying that she would stick with "Father and Son." Luo Xia apologized for his earlier attitude and said that they didn't need her to act in the play. He then told Ding Kemang about Jiang Ye's visit, and complained. At that moment, Kuang Nanshan sent a message to Luo Xia, saying that she and Song Yang were on their way. Song Yang also sent a message to Ding Kemang, asking him to bring Jiang Ye along.

Jiang Ye was prepared for a fight when she saw Kuang Nanshan, but unexpectedly, Kuang Nanshan apologized to her with a gift, which made her feel a little embarrassed. Jiang Ye's mood only improved when she saw Song Yang's sincerity.

The original crew wanted Jiang Ye to come back and continue filming, but now Jiang Ye's heart was only set on "Father and Son," so she refused directly.

The assistant asked Kuang Nanshan why she wanted to apologize to Jiang Ye and wanted to help her seek justice. Kuang Nanshan had her own thoughts and did not mention how Jiang Ye and Song Yang would retaliate against her. She only mentioned that Jiang Ye's daughter's identity as an investor was worth apologizing for. Smart people should be able to recognize the situation in any situation and be able to withstand pressure that others cannot.

Luo Xia wanted to determine the candidate for Tao Tao in the Art Committee and preferred to use He Shui. He originally wanted Ding Kemang to object, but Ding Kemang unexpectedly suggested that He Shui try the role. Luo Xia asked for opinions from Vice Captain Song, who said that there were two actors who were relatively suitable in age, but He Shui's acting was poor and Zhao Xiaopu's image was poor and had a large age difference with the character. He proposed to use actors of appropriate age and choose from the students. However, this did not reflect Luo Xia's thoughts. He proposed that there was no precedent for using students and decided after weighing the pros and cons. Group A used He Shui and Group B used Zhao Xiaopu.

Tong Hua thanked Vice Captain Song for speaking up for her. However, Vice Captain Song spoke ill of He Shui behind her back, but she heard it. Vice Captain Song immediately changed his tone and said things that made He Shui want to argue with him, so she had to turn her attention to Tong Hua and asked what their relationship was. Vice Captain Song found an excuse to leave, and He Shui asked Tong Hua again. Tong Hua told her that they just happened to meet each other. He Shui told Tong Hua that she had already secured the role of Tao Tao.

Ding Kemang reminded Song Yang that he could not be late for rehearsals and that actors must have a sense of time. They discussed the issue of script modification, and Ding Kemang said that part of it had already been changed to reassure Song Yang. After Song Yang left, Luo Xia urged Ding Kemang to complete the modifications as soon as possible and not to make any more mistakes.

Zhao Xiaopu also came to ask for an explanation, saying that she cherished this opportunity and had never snatched a role before. However, this time it was Luo Xia who forced her to do so. There were rumors outside that Luo Xia and He Shui had a good relationship, which was why she was chosen to play the role. Although she believed in Luo Xia, He Shui's acting was just not good. Ding Kemang suggested that she go out and shoot a film. Zhao Xiaopu agreed. The dispute over the role was settled, and Luo Xia decided to let He Shui go first and arrange Tong Hua for Group B.

An Lun asked Mo Mo to follow up on the play "Father and Son". Mo Mo thanked An Lun, and Tan Xiaoxin saw the two of them being intimate and felt jealous. At the mobilization meeting for "Father and Son", Song Yang arrived a few minutes late, and Luo Xia said he was a special case and could even not come. Luo Xia then gave a passionate speech, saying that "Father and Son" would be the first big-selling play. However, the applause was sparse. He Shui sent Tao Tao's character profile and thanked Luo Xia and Ding Kemang for their recognition. Mo Mo represented the company and came to talk to Luo Xia about cooperation. She heard that Luo Xia was the director of Rongding Company and was stunned.

Jiang Ye did not have high hopes for the first day of rehearsal. She thought that He Shui, who was not good at acting, and Song Yang, who was not capable, would inevitably have problems. As expected, Song Yang was arranged by Kuang Nanshan to do other activities, and although he was angry, he could only participate in what had already been arranged. Before Song Yang arrived, Luo Xia asked Kong Liang and He Shui to go on stage first. He Shui's performance was a bit exaggerated, and Luo Xia stopped her in time, asking her to be more confident and not to add unnecessary physical movements.

He Shui did not fully understand the character and was somewhat detached from the role during the performance. Jiang Ye couldn't bear to watch and went up to guide her. However, He Shui refused to admit that she had a problem and argued with Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye also explained with resentment that Tao Tao was born in a scholarly family, and her physical movements could not be like He Shui's. Mo Mo stepped forward to stop the argument, and He Shui asked Luo Xia to be fair to her. Luo Xia took He Shui outside to talk to her, and Mo Mo gave Jiang Ye a thumbs up, silently praising her for doing a good job. Ding Kemang announced that today's rehearsal was over. 

After Vice Captain Song met Luo Xia, he mentioned that someone was talking about He Shui being dishonest and suggested that Luo Xia replace her with Tong Hua. He claimed that he was acting in the best interest of the team, but with a little personal bias. If He Shui were to go to the coffee shop to show her skills, he would pay the team 600,000 yuan annually. Vice Captain Song also mentioned that Ding Kemang said He Shui was not capable. Luo Xia immediately became suspicious and asked when he had met Ding Kemang.

Jiang Ye suggested replacing He Shui. If Ding Kemang couldn't say it, she would be the bad guy. She claimed that He Shui and Luo Xia must have a relationship, but Ding Kemang said that He Shui had someone above her and didn't have a special relationship with Luo Xia. Luo Xia was also worried about this matter and came to discuss it with Ding Kemang. As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Ye brought up the idea of replacing He Shui. Luo Xia called Ding Kemang out and insisted that He Shui must help and be guided step by step. Jiang Ye asked who was related to He Shui and wanted to report that person. Ding Kemang didn't say anything but insisted on using He Shui.

On the second day of rehearsal, Song Yang arrived early and apologized for participating in a public welfare activity yesterday. He and Ding Kemang rehearsed together, but Song Yang's emotions were not right. Ding Kemang stopped and explained the scene to him. Luo Xia urged them to finish the scene quickly, but Ding Kemang insisted on focusing on the details. Ding Kemang and Song Yang were discussing the scene, while Jiang Ye and Luo Xia were discussing the replacement of He Shui below.

Ding Kemang's words were a bit heavy, making Song Yang unable to face everyone. He was a bit angry and began to argue with Ding Kemang in front of everyone, claiming that Ding Kemang was venting his anger on him because he had taken his role. This genuine anger was exactly what Ding Kemang needed. He immediately approached Song Yang and asked him to say his lines. Song Yang was a bit confused at first but quickly understood and entered the role, combining his anger with his lines. Ding Kemang was excited. He let Song Yang touch his heart. When a person is angry, their heart beats rapidly, their face turns pale, and their voice becomes erratic. This is a normal reaction, and they may even stomp their feet. Song Yang finally understood Ding Kemang's intention. True emotions don't need to be acted out. He was very moved, and Ding Kemang was a true artist.

Luo Xia accused Ding Kemang of only filming one scene today and not taking care of the entire rehearsal time. It turned out that Luo Xia had a relationship with He Shui, and Ding Kemang agreed to use He Shui only for Luo Xia's sake. If he couldn't play this role, He Shui threatened to sue him.

Jiang Ye and Ding Kemang acted together, and her emotions were expressed very well, deeply immersed in the role. Luo Xia and the students were very moved. The scene between He Shui and Kong Liang has been rehearsed many times but still hasn't passed. Jiang Ye was very angry and proposed to replace He Shui. Luo Xia asked for Ding Kemang's opinion. Ding Kemang knew that Luo Xia was trying to make him step down, so he suggested that the Art Committee decide. However, Jiang Ye publicly revealed that Ding Kemang had said that Tong Hua was much better than He Shui. Jiang Ye's words embarrassed Luo Xia, who had no choice but to let Momo pull Jiang Ye away.

Back home, Momo mentioned to Jiang Ye that there may be something suspicious about He Shui's situation, and she decided to investigate. Ding Kemang asked Luo Xia if anyone else knew about his and He Shui's situation, but Luo Xia didn't know what to do. He said that he trembled at the sight of He Shui's legs. Ding Kemang laughed and suggested that he persuade Jiang Ye not to mention replacing He Shui again. He Shui's role was not important, but she could ruin herself. Momo found the two of them, and her accurate analysis surprised Luo Xia and Ding Kemang. Luo Xia had to reveal his and He Shui's situation. Ding Kemang began to do Momo's work and asked her to consider the overall situation. Momo didn't understand and thought she should take responsibility for her own actions.

Ding Kemang talked to Momo about his relationship. After getting married, he and Jiang Ye were always out of sync, like two incompatible gears that never fit together. Now it's time to separate. In the past, he did it for her, but now his patience has run out. He wants to wait until "Father and Son" is successful before talking to Jiang Ye. Momo couldn't persuade him and could only respect her father's opinion.

Jiang Ye knocked on the door and asked Luo Xia to replace He Shui. Coincidentally, He Shui was at Luo Xia's house. He Shui accused Jiang Ye of always having a problem with her. Jiang Ye said that she really was just doing it for the sake of the play. Ding Kemang and Momo came back just in time and Jiang Ye brought up their past. Ding Kemang's emotions almost collapsed, and Momo was afraid that Jiang Ye would say something unpleasant, so she quickly pulled her back home.

Jiang Ye told Momo that Ding Kemang had something going on with He Shui. She said she understood that men have certain needs and He Shui is beautiful, and since Ding Kemang is often away filming, it's normal for something like this to happen. Momo insisted that not all men are like that. Jiang Ye wanted Momo to explain Ding Kemang's behavior and guessed that Momo knew the truth. She thought it was reasonable for Momo to hide it for the sake of their good father-daughter relationship. Momo didn't want to reveal the truth, but she assured Jiang Ye that Ding Kemang and He Shui had nothing going on.

Jiang Ye was overthinking, but Momo persuaded her to relax and assured her that their father was fine. Jiang Ye insisted that He Shui should not be involved, but Momo said she would handle the situation. However, Jiang Ye felt that the situation was becoming more complicated. Ding Kemang blamed Luo Xia for bringing He Shui home and thought about replacing her. Luo Xia said He Shui had already threatened to reveal everything if she was replaced. Ding Kemang received a message from Momo and didn't want to take the blame. He was also in a difficult position. Luo Xia begged Ding Kemang for help and thanked him for understanding her.

Song Yang went to the theater early for morning exercises. He had finished shooting an advertisement late last night. Xiao Li said he was a big star but still did morning exercises with them. Song Yang told her it was part of the theater's routine. Song Yang apologized to Ding Kemang for being late and was punished to do push-ups. They then started their meat-eating exercise. Xiao Li tried to stop them, fearing that someone might post Song Yang's bad image online. Song Yang quickly stopped her. After everyone finished, Ding Kemang asked Song Yang to stay for extra practice and even monitored what he drank. Xiao Li was unhappy and wanted to tell Kuang Nanshan about it, but Song Yang told her not to interfere.

An Lun arranged for Momo to meet Zhan Zuodi at the badminton court to try to win his cooperation. Momo reluctantly agreed to the arrangement. She quickly blended in, but Zhan Zuodi, an old hand, saw through her unique self-introduction and didn't give her a chance to continue. Momo didn't want to give up and chased after him for ten minutes, mentioning the merger of the industry chain and the feasibility plan the company had already made. She also mentioned that several companies were among the top brokerage companies in the country. Zhan Zuodi brought up the play "Father and Son" and asked Momo to send the script to his company. He would have experts take a look at it.

Jiang Ye criticized Ding Kemang for trying to show off in front of Song Yang. At this point, she was being cunning and Ding Kemang was used to her sarcasm. Song Yang and Tao Tao acted together, but He Shui's performance was still poor. Luo Xia was also helpless. Ding Kemang suggested that Group B should perform. Kong Liang and Tong Hua were familiar with the plot, and the people below discussed and said that the two were demonstrating for Group A. Their performance was very good, and Luo Xia led the applause. Afterward, Jiang Ye called Tong Hua over and gave her some guidance on her lines. Luo Xia then went to talk to Song Yang and He Shui, especially reminding He Shui to be confident. During the next rehearsal, He Shui deliberately imitated Tong Hua, and Song Yang was not completely focused. He was struggling with when the new script would come out because time was limited. Only when the new script came out could he practice with peace of mind. Now, Ding Kemang was nitpicking, and his heart couldn't calm down.

Jiang Ye accused Ding Kemang of playing the lute to a cow. He Shui asked Jiang Ye to leave, otherwise it would affect her rehearsal. The two quarreled, and Luo Xia tried to persuade Jiang Ye and pulled her out. Kong Liang invited Song Yang to relax outside. Song Yang's hobby was boxing, and Kong Liang became his punching bag. In fact, he also had his own plan and had a request for Song Yang. Song Yang said he had already given his resume to Kuang Nanshan. After the cooperation meeting, Zhan Zuodi met Ding Momo by chance and said that the script for "Father and Son" had been reviewed by experts and was very good. They couldn't make too many changes, and swapping the roles of the first and second male leads would ruin the play.

Jiang Ye said that she and He Shui were not just fighting because of the play. Ding Kemang knew she was guessing about what was going on between her and He Shui, and he immediately denied it. However, Jiang Ye continued to talk about her judgment and thoughts. Ding Kemang insisted that he and He Shui were fine, but under Jiang Ye's pressure, he had to admit that Luo Xia and He Shui had something going on. However, Jiang Ye thought he was joking.

Momo apologized to An Lun because Zhan Zuodi helped her inquire about personal matters. An Lun had already explained to the company's higher-ups and emphasized the good relationship between superiors and subordinates. He said that if a subordinate is particularly outstanding and worthy, the superior can cover up and handle the mistake. Momo was moved by his words, but Tan Xiaoxin had a different reaction.

Jiang Ye learned about Luo Xia and He Shui's situation from Ding Kemang and changed her attitude towards He Shui during rehearsals. She even gave her guidance and acting tips. However, she couldn't help but blurt out that youth and men are unreliable. He Shui realized that Jiang Ye might know about her and Luo Xia's relationship and forgot her lines during the next scene. Luo Xia had to ask Tong Hua to replace He Shui for a while. He Shui told Luo Xia about the situation, and he was shocked. He asked Ding Kemang about it, but he didn't reveal the truth.

Song Yang came to find Kuang Nanshan to recommend Kong Liang. Kuang Nanshan thought that Kong Liang had no development prospects and agreed on the surface. However, after Song Yang left, she threw Kong Liang's personal information into the trash can. Tan Xiaoxin suspected that there was an unclear relationship between Momo and An Lun, which threatened her and An Lun's relationship. She even made him choose between her and Momo. Tan Xiaoxin's father was the boss of Pingda Fund, and her connections were what An Lun relied on. Momo's talent was something he admired and valued. He had to appease them one by one, but Momo didn't care and saw herself as Tan Xiaoxin's imaginary enemy.

On the weekend, Ding Kemang took Song Yang out to train and find inspiration. They used Qu Yuan's "Lei Dian Song," which Song Yang had filmed before, as a script. However, Song Yang couldn't find the feeling of anger and roar. Ding Kemang made him repeat the lines and do somersaults, using body language and emotional changes to strengthen Song Yang's inner feelings. It started raining, and Song Yang kept doing the same actions and saying the same lines in the rain. Gradually, the feeling of anger became more and more real, and he entered the character's inner world, experiencing the feeling of being torn apart.

Ding Kemang thought that Song Yang had made great progress and took him to his house. He even gave him the clothes that Momo had bought for him to wear. Song Yang said that he always felt pressure and nervousness when he was with Ding Kemang. Acting was like a practice of asceticism and a dead end. The reason for his pressure and nervousness might be that he was not skilled enough and had too many distractions. He needed to empty himself, like being in a transparent glass vessel. Song Yang asked if he could reach Ding Kemang's level, and Ding Kemang encouraged him to work hard and he could achieve it.

During a new rehearsal, Song Yang made great progress and received recognition from Luo Xia and Jiang Ye, but Ding Kemang was still not completely satisfied. He wanted Song Yang to improve even more and change his performance style to increase interaction with the audience. Song Yang was confused, so Ding Kemang stopped and talked to him about the play. Luo Xia suggested continuing the rehearsal, but Ding Kemang said it was better to do it seriously once than to do it carelessly ten times. Luo Xia couldn't stand it anymore and called Ding Kemang out, accusing him of being too controlling and expressing dissatisfaction with Song Yang's behavior. After giving Ding Kemang a cold look, he returned to the rehearsal room and continued to teach Song Yang about the play.

Luo Xia couldn't bear to watch anymore and felt that Ding Kemang was going too far. He suggested moving on to the next scene. Ding Kemang immediately knelt down to the audience and demonstrated the scene to Song Yang. This scene almost moved everyone present, and Jiang Ye even shed tears. Song Yang was also deeply moved and realized the huge gap between himself and the others. He suddenly decided to stop acting. Luo Xia thought he was rebelling against Ding Kemang, so he suggested that Song Yang could act according to his own ideas and then went to do Ding Kemang's job. Ding Kemang reiterated that what he cared about was not the difference between the first and second roles, but the effect of the play. At this point, Song Yang expressed his thoughts. He felt that he couldn't play the male lead, even if the script was changed. He needed to learn, but the time was not enough. There was a qualitative difference between him and Ding Kemang, and he had tried his best, but this gap could not be bridged in a short time. He felt sorry for everyone. This sincere expression also moved everyone present. Jiang Ye told him that his artistic path would definitely get better and Ding Kemang also encouraged him. Finally, Luo Xia announced that "Father and Son" was officially starting filming.

Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. Song Yang seemed to know about Luo Xia and He Shui's relationship, so he decided to play the villain and publicly requested to switch to He Shui. He Shui argued that his acting was not as good as Kong Liang's and he should be the one to switch, but Song Yang's performance was the support for the box office and could not be replaced. He Shui placed his hope on Luo Xia, but at this point, Luo Xia could only express his respect for Song Yang's decision. He Shui left angrily.

The Art Committee held a meeting to discuss whether to keep He Shui's role. During the meeting, Ding Kemang suggested that Tong Hua should play Tao Tao instead of the previously recommended Tong Hua. However, Vice Captain Song, who had always supported Tong Hua, changed his mind and spoke out in favor of keeping He Shui. He even criticized Song Yang. After a vote, He Shui was replaced, but Vice Captain Song received thanks from He Shui for speaking up for her.

Now, Ding Kemang is in charge of the artistic direction of the play "Father and Son," with Song Yang as the main attraction and He Shui being replaced. Luo Xia believes that the future is bright and even decides that they could win an award. He asks Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye to fill out the award application form, believing that the success of "Father and Son" will also be his way to become a regular member.

Tan Xiaoxin uses shopping as an excuse to meet Ding Momo. She believes that Ding Momo must have used some underhanded means to win over Zhan Zuodi. This angers Ding Momo, who confronts Tan Xiaoxin and is subsequently kicked out of the car.

Zhan Zuodi has his own ideas about "Father and Son." He is dissatisfied with only Song Yang being the main attraction and decides to bring in Chen Jiangge to play the male lead. This means that Ding Kemang's role will be replaced by Chen Jiangge. Despite Ding Momo's insistence that the current male lead has been performing for a long time, Zhan Zuodi insists on a strong partnership and decides to replace him.

Ding Momo tells An Lun about this, and he understands her frustration. He also knows that Ding Kemang has not been able to perform in satisfactory work in his theatrical career. Now, Ding Kemang wants to use "Father and Son" to end his acting career. Ding Momo is very distressed because she feels responsible for Ding Kemang's situation.

Song Yang learned about the role change from Kuang Nanshan and felt very worried, but Kuang Nanshan thought that Chen Jiangge's participation could help increase Song Yang's popularity, so she agreed to the role change.

When Luo Xia learned that Chen Jiangge was going to play in "Father and Son," he was very happy despite Ding Kemang's situation.

On the other hand, Ding Kemang and Ding Momo worked together to create the perfect version of the "Father and Son" script. Ding Momo wanted to tell Ding Kemang about the role change, but was interrupted by Jiang Ye who suddenly appeared.

Ding Momo heard about the bet on performance from An Lun and agreed to extend the bet time with a clear separation of public and private matters.

Tong Hua accidentally learned about the role change from Song Yang and then accidentally mentioned it to Jiang Ye, who immediately went to find Luo Xia. Jiang Ye believed that Luo Xia's actions were immoral and unfair. Despite Luo Xia's excuses, Jiang Ye pointed out Ding Kemang and Ding Momo's efforts on the script and believed that even if the director was changed, Ding Kemang should not be replaced.

In the rehearsal room, Ding Momo saw Ding Kemang and Song Yang rehearsing together. Seeing Ding Kemang carefully teaching Song Yang, Ding Momo felt uncomfortable and left alone. She then secretly watched from outside and saw Ding Kemang's waist injury relapse during filming, making her even more upset. Ding Momo waited outside and was unhappy that Song Yang knew about the role change but still used Ding Kemang to rehearse with him. Song Yang could only express his own distress.

Soon, it was the first rehearsal of "Father and Son." Ding Momo, who had hoped for a turning point, received news from An Lun that the contract had been finalized and was about to be signed, which made her very disappointed.

Ding Momo met Ding Kemang at the door and told him indirectly during their walk that Chen Jiangge agreed to play the father in "Father and Son". Although Ding Kemang was upset, he did not show it and comforted himself with the influence of Chen Jiangge and Song Yang that could make the play a success. Ding Momo knew that Ding Kemang was upset and told him that Luo Xia and Jiang Ye knew about it but had not told him yet. Seeing Ding Kemang still forcing a smile, Ding Momo felt very sad.

The next day, after a busy day, Ding Kemang remembered what Ding Momo and Jiang Ye had said and felt disappointed despite his years of effort. Ding Momo felt very sorry for Ding Kemang, but she also knew that life and work were separate and it was impossible to succeed every time. Because Ding Kemang's role was replaced, Jiang Ye found Luo Xia and suggested giving up the role. Luo Xia comforted Jiang Ye by saying that it was necessary for the market demand.

When Ding Momo accompanied Grandma Qin, she talked about Grandma Qin's young days and knew that Grandma Qin liked to wear cheongsam. During their conversation, Ding Momo learned that Song Yang was highly regarded by Grandma Qin.

At night, Ding Momo contacted Song Yang about Grandma Qin. Since Song Yang was off the next day, he invited Ding Momo to visit Grandma Qin together. They even made a cheongsam for Grandma Qin. Grandma Qin, wearing the cheongsam, danced with Song Yang and Ding Momo while singing on the side. Grandma Qin remembered her story with her lover and passed away a few days later, dedicating her life to the stage. Ding Momo and Song Yang were both very sad to hear the news.

An Lun noticed that Ding Momo was feeling upset and after asking her, he found out that she was sad for Qin Grandma. Ding Momo learned about Tan Xiaoxin's resignation and suggested that she leave as well, but An Lun told her that Tan Xiaoxin had already left. Ding Momo also told An Lun that she needed to stay in the theater group for a while because of Chen Jiangge's situation.

Before Chen Jiangge arrived at the theater group, Ding Kemang continued to rehearse, but he was stopped by Luo Xia because he was too emotional. Ding Kemang was still trapped in his emotions and could only stop on his own. Seeing this, Jiang Ye comforted Ding Kemang about the graduation play, but Ding Kemang unexpectedly asked for a divorce. Jiang Ye suspected that Ding Kemang was having an affair and was disappointed in herself. After questioning him, she left feeling sad.

Seeing that Ding Kemang had problems during rehearsal, Luo Xia believed that it was because Ding Momo told him about the role change, but Ding Momo accused Luo Xia of betraying Ding Kemang. Ding Momo no longer wanted to deal with "Father and Son" and decided to let it develop freely.

Luo Xia took the initiative to find Ding Kemang and told him that the contract had not been signed yet and everything was uncertain. He then brought up Ding Kemang's emotional issues during rehearsals. Ding Kemang believed that he needed time to accept reality.

Because Ding Kemang wanted to divorce her, Jiang Ye asked Ding Momo if she knew about it. Ding Momo learned from Jiang Ye that she was ready to retire and after completing one more work, she would take Ding Kemang abroad to start a new life.

Meanwhile, Luo Xia learned from Ding Kemang that he wanted to divorce Jiang Ye and was overwhelmed.

Ding Momo met with Jiang Ye, who already knew that Ding Kemang wanted to divorce her. Jiang Ye accused Ding Momo for not telling her about it. Ding Momo learned from Jiang Ye that Ding Kemang felt that she looked down on him, which made Jiang Ye feel very upset. Ding Momo realized that what Ding Kemang said was true based on Jiang Ye's treatment of him and her decision to choose herself over him in the role they were both competing for. Jiang Ye felt helpless and left.

After dealing with He Shui, Song Bang went to Luo Xia's office, but Luo Xia was preoccupied with Ding Kemang's troubles. Song Bang accidentally learned about Ding Kemang's divorce with Jiang Ye from Luo Xia and was surprised. He later told He Shui about it. He Shui, who already had some grievances with Jiang Ye, immediately had an idea since Ding Kemang was involved.

Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye met again and talked about their divorce. Although Jiang Ye was very sad about what Ding Kemang said, she agreed to it because she was about to start filming a new movie and did not want the media to exploit her divorce. She asked Ding Kemang to keep their divorce a secret, and he agreed.

Tang Xiaoxin invited Ding Momo to dinner, apologized to her, and even suggested that they be friends, which confused Ding Momo.

Jiang Ye starred in the movie "When the Story Becomes an Accident," but rumors of her divorce with Ding Kemang surfaced during its airing. When faced with media inquiries, Jiang Ye denied it, even when they showed her a post from a blogger named Yu Meiren. After the event, Jiang Ye told Ding Kemang about the incident, and he suspected that He Shui was behind the post. To help Jiang Ye, Ding Kemang suggested that she hold a press conference. Although Jiang Ye initially thought that Ding Kemang was mocking her, she eventually decided to do it and contacted the producer. Ding Kemang promised to help her with the press conference. Meanwhile, as the replacement actor, Ding Kemang devoted himself to training Song Yang to take over Chen Jiangge's role.

Kong Liang, who was waiting for a call from Kuang Nanshan's company, could not get in touch with them, so he asked Song Yang. The next day, before the rehearsal at the drama troupe, Jiang Ye saw He Shui and retorted when she saw her making fun of her divorce and age.

While helping Song Yang rehearse, Ding Kemang hurt his back and was sent to the hospital. After an examination, he was discharged and went home to recover. On the way home, Jiang Ye mocked Luo Xia, thinking that he and Ding Kemang had planned all of this, including her divorce.

Jiang Ye believed that Ding Kemang's divorce with her was related to Luo Xia, but Luo Xia denied it repeatedly. When Jiang Ye began to approach her, Ding Kemang quickly found an excuse to avoid her.

After returning home, Jiang Ye received a call from the producer informing her that the press conference was ready. Jiang Ye immediately told Ding Kemang, who was surprised that he had become like this and had to perform on stage.

Ding Momo met Song Yang, who was with Tong Hua. In the face of Song Yang's inquiries, she revealed Ding Kemang's situation. Seeing that Song Yang still looked like he wanted to continue caring, Ding Momo felt that he was hypocritical and pushed back with celebrity language. When she saw that Ding Momo's emotions were off, Tong Hua was speaking up for Song Yang, but they were interrupted by Kong Liang. Ding Momo was puzzled and learned from Song Yang that Kong Liang was pursuing Tong Hua. At this time, Ding Momo received a call from Ding Kemang asking her to buy a wheelchair for him to attend the press conference.

As soon as she arrived home, Ding Momo saw Luo Xia stopping Ding Kemang from attending the press conference, which made Jiang Ye unhappy. Jiang Ye turned her focus on Ding Kemang and sarcastically accused him of intentionally hurting her because he did not want to attend the press conference. Luo Xia advised Ding Kemang not to attend the press conference due to his illness. Jiang Ye's words angered Luo Xia, and the two immediately started to argue. Luo Xia mentioned that Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye were selected to play roles in the same drama but Ding Kemang chose to withdraw from the drama to take care of Jiang Ye's sick father, which allowed Jiang Ye to rise to fame. Ding Kemang regretted it at the time but chose to forget about it. Ding Momo confirmed that Jiang Ye still remembered this matter, but Ding Kemang refused to mention it.

During the press conference, Ding Kemang saw that Jiang Ye had prepared a speech for him, but he did not want to use her words. Jiang Ye spoke about their past glory and experiences, and then brought up the divorce rumors between them. Ding Kemang was pushed onto the stage in a wheelchair and gave a speech that matched Jiang Ye's, portraying a loving couple. Ding Momo, who was in the audience, felt uneasy seeing Ding Kemang cooperate with Jiang Ye's performance.

Due to the undefined role of the father character in "Father and Son," Luo Xia held an emergency meeting and decided to temporarily stop rehearsals. Jiang Ye saw He Shui and Kong Liang confronting Luo Xia and got into an argument with them, even fighting.

Ding Kemang publicly announced that Chen Jiangge would play the father's role, and He Shui apologized to Jiang Ye after learning the news.

When rehearsing for the play, Jiang Ye's emotions became unstable, and she couldn't control herself, mistaking Tong Hua for Su Xiaotang and He Shui and slapping her.

During rehearsal, Jiang Ye accidentally hit Tong Hua. After the rehearsal, Jiang Ye apologized to Tong Hua, but Kong Liang accused Jiang Ye of his actions. This angered Jiang Ye, who then directed his anger towards Kong Liang.

Jiang Ye overheard Kong Liang speaking poorly of him to Tong Hua, and he criticized Kong Liang for his unsuccessful pursuit of Tong Hua and his lack of accomplishments despite his age. Ding Mo Mo intervened and pulled Jiang Ye away.

Later, when Jiang Ye met with Ding Ke Mang, he was criticized for his actions towards He Shui. Ding Mo Mo reassured Jiang Ye and reminded him of the good qualities of Ding Ke Mang. When Jiang Ye continued to speak negatively, Ding Mo Mo brought up an incident where Ding Ke Mang had attended her press conference despite being injured, causing Jiang Ye to leave.

Chen Jiangge's assistant contacted Luo Xia to arrange a meeting with the editor of "Father and Son". Luo Xia was excited and immediately went to find Ding Mo Mo, who was watching Song Yang and Tong Hua rehearsing. Luo Xia informed Ding Mo Mo of Chen Jiangge's desire to talk to Ding Ke Mang about the script.

Ding Ke Mang was informed of Chen Jiangge's interest in meeting him, and though he was happy about the potential benefits to the play, Jiang Ye was not pleased with Luo Xia's attitude. Meanwhile, Luo Xia decided to arrange a meeting between Chen Jiangge and Vice Captain Song at a coffee shop.

Ding Mo Mo was concerned about Ding Ke Mang's well-being and felt that meeting with Chen Jiangge would negatively impact him. She expressed this to Luo Xia, who had to delay their meeting. Later, Song Bang suggested to Luo Xia that he should talk to Ding Ke Mang directly about the script.

Ding Ke Mang agreed to meet with Chen Jiangge, but Luo Xia later learned that Chen Jiangge wanted to talk to the director about the script, causing Luo Xia to worry about being replaced. He turned to Ding Ke Mang for advice and was told that it would ultimately be up to the screenwriter.

After contacting Chen Jiangge, Luo Xia immediately found Ding Kemang. Ding Kemang was also very pleased to hear that Chen Jiangge was satisfied with "Father and Son". Nowadays, he is willing to give up everything for the sake of the play, and Luo Xia was deeply moved by this.

Ding Kemang decided to meet with Chen Jiangge, but Ding Momo stopped him due to his health condition. After persuasion, Ding Momo replaced Ding Kemang to meet with Chen Jiangge.

The next day, He Shui approached Song Bang and asked a few questions. When everything was ready, Chen Jiangge arrived as scheduled, but Luo Xia and Song Bang were unable to contact Ding Momo.

At this time, Ding Momo was in the company, watching her phone constantly ringing without answering any calls. An Lun saw this and expressed concern, but Ding Momo brushed it off.

Seeing that Ding Momo didn't show up, Chen Jiangge was sure that she was deliberately avoiding him, so he prepared to leave. Luo Xia tried to stop him but failed. When he realized that "Father and Son" was completely out of the picture, he had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital.

After learning about Luo Xia's hospitalization, Ding Kemang blamed Ding Momo. Ding Momo felt remorseful after learning about Luo Xia's heart attack.

When Jiang Ye visited Luo Xia, she learned from him that Chen Jiangge's side was no longer interested in him. This meant that Chen Jiangge would not appear in "Father and Son" anymore.

When Song Bang took Ding Kemang out to bask in the sun, he learned from Song Yang that Song Yang wanted to appear in "Father and Son". He persuaded him to focus on the role and eliminate distractions. Ding Kemang shared his own experiences to guide Song Yang.

Knowing Ding Kemang's efforts for "Father and Son", Xiao Li found Chen Jiangge's whereabouts for Song Yang, then he directly went to the venue where Chen Jiangge was and entered using facial recognition.

Song Yang successfully met with Chen Jiangge, and Chen Jiangge was willing to give him time to speak. Song Yang told Chen Jiangge about Luo Xia's illness and apologized on behalf of the crew, asking Chen Jiangge to give "Father and Son" a chance. Song Yang's sincere attitude moved Chen Jiangge, but he was still not happy about Ding Momo's absence. When Song Yang mentioned Ding Momo, Chen Jiangge couldn't help but suspect that they were in a romantic relationship.

Song Yang successfully convinced Chen Jiangge, and faced with Chen Jiangge's test, he impressed him with his sincere attitude and acting skills.

Luo Xia was very happy to receive the contact from Chen Jiangge's side and immediately told Ding Kemang that there was still hope for Chen Jiangge to appear in "Father and Son", but Ding Momo became the biggest obstacle.

When Ding Momo was at home, she asked Ding Kemang for his understanding of her approach. Ding Kemang comforted her and reminded her not to act alone. After meeting with Chen Jiangge, Ding Momo had a conversation with him and accepted his suggestion. When she returned from the discussion, she met Song Yang and told him about the smooth conversation, but she refused his dinner invitation in a hurry to go home and revise the script. However, she invited Song Yang to have dinner together the next day, which made him very happy.

When Song Yang received a call from Kuang Nanshan asking about Chen Jiangge's situation, he told the truth and learned from Kuang Nanshan that they were going to attend an event with Su Xiaotang tomorrow. He originally wanted to refuse, but was forced to agree because of the contract.

During a rehearsal of the drama troupe, Su Xiaotang arrived uninvited and pretended to be Song Yang's girlfriend. Song Yang was already unhappy, and he became even more angry when Ding Momo refused to have dinner with him because of Su Xiaotang's arrival.

At the event, when faced with reporters' questions about their relationship, Song Yang clarified his relationship with Su Xiaotang and even bluntly responded to the reporters' questions about his private life. Kuang Nanshan was very angry when she saw this and believed that Song Yang needed such topics to attract attention. Song Yang's clarification had a significant impact, and even the client contacted Kuang Nanshan.

Ding Momo unintentionally saw the scene where Song Yang and Tong Hua rehearsed the drama, and she became curious. At this time, she received a call from Luo Xia asking about Jiang Ye's unwillingness to attend the meeting, so she went to find out about the situation.

To end the war between Jiang Ye and He Shui, Luo Xia found Vice Captain Song Bang and asked him to invite He Shui to work at the café. Song Bang agreed immediately.

When Ding Kemang learned that Jiang Ye did not want to attend the meeting, he got up and wanted to send her there. After persuading her, Jiang Ye finally agreed to attend.

Before the meeting, Song Bang fulfilled his promise to Luo Xia and found He Shui, gave her a gift, and proposed that she work at the café. This made He Shui guess that Luo Xia wanted her to quit "Father and Son". She was angry and revealed their past relationship, expressing her dissatisfaction with Jiang Ye. Therefore, she decided to retaliate against Jiang Ye and immediately left for the meeting.

Seeing He Shui appearing in the meeting room, Luo Xia was very puzzled. Jiang Ye, who saw He Shui's figure, wanted to take Ding Kemang away, but Luo Xia stopped her. Ding Kemang went alone on stage and talked about his contributions and emotions towards "Father and Son". He expressed his regret that he couldn't perform and moved He Shui, who decided to leave.

After leaving the meeting, He Shui met Song Bang and asked him to work at the café.

Tong Hua waited downstairs at Ding Kemang's house for Song Yang to bring Ding Kemang home, and once again waited for Song Yang to finish and rehearse with her. At this time, Ding Momo came home and thought Song Yang worked very hard. She found out that Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye were emotionally stable before going upstairs.

At home, Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye talked calmly. After a conversation, Jiang Ye learned that Ding Kemang didn't hate her, he just didn't have feelings for her anymore. Ding Kemang persuaded Jiang Ye to let go, and she suddenly felt that she understood him.

Song Yang, who was taking Tong Hua home, was captured by reporters. The scene of him taking off Tong Hua's coat was also recorded. However, Tong Hua had already noticed the presence of gossip reporters, but didn't warn Song Yang.

At night, while Ding Kemang was sleeping, Jiang Ye looked at his phone without permission.

The photos of Song Yang and Tong Hua were spread all over the internet the next day, which affected Song Yang's rehearsal. During the break, Kong Liang mocked him because of the rumors between Song Yang and Tong Hua.

Luo Xia told Ding Momo about Song Yang and Tong Hua, and she was worried about the impact on him, so she immediately went to find him.

Kong Liang saw that Tong Hua was affected by the online photos during rehearsal and dragged her away to confront Song Yang. Kong Liang liked Tong Hua and was jealous of Song Yang. He didn't listen to Song Yang's explanation and even spoke harshly. Ding Momo, who tried to stop them, was injured in the forehead by an angry Kong Liang. Jiang Ye and Song Yang immediately took Ding Momo to the hospital.

Ding Kemang found out about this incident from Luo Xia and immediately contacted Ding Momo. He was relieved after hearing that Ding Momo was okay.

Kong Liang felt very guilty about injuring Ding Momo. Tong Hua was asked about her relationship with Kong Liang, and she only admitted they were friends. The reason Tong Hua was willing to be photographed was also because she secretly loved Song Yang.

Because of the incident between Song Yang and Tong Hua, Kuang Nanshan found Song Yang and decided to handle the public relations.

Ding Momo discovered that Jiang Ye had looked at Ding Kemang's phone when she returned home at night. She then told Ding Kemang about Jiang Ye's suspicion of him. Ding Kemang was very helpless about Jiang Ye's lack of trust in him.

Song Bang saw He Shui helping out at the cafe and reminded her not to forget her dreams.

Tong Hua wanted to pursue Song Yang, but didn't know what to do, so she turned to Ding Momo and told her about her feelings for Song Yang and that she deliberately allowed herself to be photographed last time. She hoped that Ding Momo could help her.

At home, Ding Kemang learned from Luo Xia that Song Yang's recent performance was good, which put him at ease.

At night, Ding Momo discovered Jiang Ye looking at Ding Kemang's phone again and tried to persuade her, but Jiang Ye refused to listen and refused to trust Ding Kemang. Ding Momo did not know about Jiang Ye's phone snooping, which Luo Xia also knew, but he was powerless.

Despite having her stitches removed, Jiang Ye was still very worried about Ding Momo. With regards to the stage lighting, Ding Momo received many suggestions from Luo Xia and promised to cooperate well with Chen Jiangge.

After returning home, Ding Momo learned from Ding Kemang that Jiang Ye's care for him made him feel guilty and he did not want to divorce her. Ding Momo immediately told Jiang Ye, who did not seem very happy but still stated that nothing would affect her performance in "Father and Son". Ding Momo informed Luo Xia that Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye's relationship would not affect the play.

At night, Jiang Ye listened to the recording on Ding Kemang's phone and cried when she heard him understanding her difficulties.

The next day, Ding Momo was puzzled when she found out that Jiang Ye had specially made breakfast for Ding Kemang. Jiang Ye now knew that Ding Kemang had her in his heart and did not cheat on her, and she decided to live her life well.

On the first day of rehearsal, Chen Jiangge met Jiang Ye, an old acquaintance, and they had a smooth conversation.

On the second day of rehearsal, Luo Xia was worried when he saw that Song Yang was late. Chen Jiangge was dissatisfied and wanted Kong Liang to replace him, but Song Yang arrived just in time. Chen Jiangge was angry when he saw that Song Yang could not quickly get into character and scolded him, making him cry.

After the rehearsal, Chen Jiangge listened to Luo Xia's explanation and agreed to give Song Yang another chance.

Ding Kemang learned about the rehearsal that day from Luo Xia and found Song Yang in the rehearsal hall. He saw that Song Yang was under pressure to catch up and consoled him.

After comforting Song Yang, Ding Momo told him that Tong Hua liked him. Song Yang didn't care and had always secretly loved Ding Momo.

When Ding Momo was talking to Song Yang about Tong Hua liking him, she felt a hint of ambiguity between her and Song Yang and decided to leave. At that moment, Song Yang invited Ding Momo to watch "The Phantom of the Opera" and she agreed.

The next day, Ding Momo was busy with work and discussing it with An Lun after work, which caused her to miss Song Yang's call. Song Yang couldn't contact Ding Momo, and at that moment, Kuang Nanshan called and asked him not to have any contact with girls alone.

Ding Momo remembered that she had promised to watch the opera with Song Yang only after she found out that he had called her, and she had An Lun send her to the opera house. However, Song Yang didn't want to watch it anymore because he missed the beginning, and Ding Momo promised to take him abroad in the future.

While at work, Ding Momo heard from her colleagues gossip that Zhan Zuodi was interested in poaching An Lun, but she treated it as a rumor.

During a work discussion with An Lun, Ding Momo learned that Zhan Zuodi was indeed trying to poach An Lun, and An Lun was also considering leaving the company. An Lun wanted to take Ding Momo with him, and after thinking it over, she agreed.

During rehearsals, Jiang Ye was unhappy with Chen Jiangge, who had been a supporting actor in the drama group but had become arrogant and now only ate with Kong Liang. She complained to Ding Kemang, who wanted to comfort her but didn't know how.

During rehearsals, Jiang Ye and Chen Jiangge had a scene together, and their acting was excellent. However, Song Yang's acting couldn't keep up with Chen Jiangge's, so Luo Xia had to decide to work overtime. After the rehearsal, Ding Momo heard Luo Xia praise Chen Jiangge's performance and asked for his opinion on Ding Kemang, but Luo Xia thought they were equally good, which Ding Momo disagreed with.

At home, Ding Kemang was reading the script with Chen Jiangge's suggestions and told Jiang Ye about Ding Momo working overtime. Jiang Ye thought that Ding Momo might be with An Lun.

Ding Momo fell asleep exhausted while working overtime at the company, and An Lun kindly sent her home and gave her donkey-hide gelatin. Jiang Ye, who saw this, became more certain of their relationship and tried to invite An Lun upstairs, but he refused because it was too late.

After returning home, Jiang Ye talked to Ding Momo and analyzed that An Lun must have feelings for her, and she also had a good impression of him.

With only a week left until the performance, Luo Xia encouraged and comforted Song Yang, who was under a lot of pressure. Song Yang wanted to get closer to Ding Momo and talked to her about understanding their roles and asked for her opinion on his acting. After Ding Momo gave him positive feedback, she asked for his help in finding a role for Tan Xiaoxin.

After the first makeup rehearsal, Luo Xia was very satisfied with the performance and encouraged each actor, emphasizing the importance of the next day's formal performance, and also gave advice to Song Yang.

Worried that Song Yang would be nervous, Luo Xia encouraged him, and Ding Momo also gave him a box of candy hoping he would shine the next day. Luo Xia remembered when Ding Momo gave him candy when he was nervous during his first performance, and his confidence was instantly ignited.

On the day of the formal performance, Song Yang was still nervous, constantly looking at the candy box Ding Momo gave him. At the same time, Ding Momo was worried that Ding Kemang would be upset about not being able to participate in the performance.

Ding Kemang decided to rehearse with the actors in the rehearsal hall because he couldn't participate in the performance, and just before the performance, Chen Jiangge lost his voice. Luo Xia didn't know how to deal with it and immediately contacted Ding Kemang for help.

Seeing that Chen Jiangge couldn't speak and couldn't go on stage, Luo Xia quickly arranged for Song Bang to send him to the hospital. At the same time, in order not to delay the subsequent performance, Luo Xia asked Song Bang to find a doctor to ask for the required treatment time.

After learning that Chen Jiangge could not perform, Ding Kemang immediately found Luo Xia to prepare to save the show. Worried that there were fans of Chen Jiangge in the audience who could not accept his own performance, he asked Luo Xia to go out and ask for opinions.

Song Yang met Luo Xia, who was in a hurry to go to the front desk, and learned about the possibility of Ding Kemang performing on stage with him. Luo Xia was worried about Song Yang's nervousness and comforted him.

Seeing Luo Xia explaining the situation on stage, the microphone malfunctioned, so Song Yang had to show up and hand the microphone to Luo Xia himself, which made Song Yang's fans ecstatic.

The audience below learned about Chen Jiangge's inability to speak and that his role would be replaced by Ding Kemang, which disappointed some fans but was mostly supported by Song Yang's fans, so the show continued.

During the performance, Song Yang was nervous from the beginning but gradually relaxed and completely let go under the guidance of Ding Kemang, Jiang Ye, and other veteran actors. Old actors brought new actors, and the performance was perfect.

When the actors took their final bows, Ding Kemang's condition worsened and he was worried that he couldn't hold on. He asked Jiang Ye to invite Luo Xia. Soon after, Ding Kemang was taken to the hospital.

In the hospital, Jiang Ye met An Lun, who had come to visit Ding Kemang, and encouraged An Lun to pursue Ding Momo, but An Lun hesitated. Ding Kemang still didn't want to stay in the hospital and was eventually taken back home by Jiang Ye to rest.

Online reviews of the play "Father and Son" were very high, which meant that the premiere was successful, making Luo Xia very happy. Kuang Nanshan, who also saw the response to the play, brought Song Yang to congratulate him warmly and encouraged him to continue to become a stage actor.

On the other hand, Tong Hua listened to Kong Liang reading the news and noticed that many people were mentioned, but the name of the main actor, Ding Kemang, was not mentioned, which made her very confused. Kong Liang explained to her that the importance of the premiere was to pave the way for future performances by Chen Jiangge.

Jiang Ye also saw the news and found Luo Xia to speak up for Ding Kemang. Luo Xia dismissed it as having no time. But Ding Kemang didn't care about the news at all. After the play, he became more and more indifferent to fame and fortune.

After treatment, Chen Jiangge's inability to speak was cured, and he could officially perform the next day. Song Yang was not used to Chen Jiangge's strong performance and couldn't follow the script, which made Chen Jiangge very angry.

After the performance, Chen Jiangge criticized Song Yang from all angles. When he heard Luo Xia's defense of Song Yang and inadvertently mentioned the situation of the premiere and Ding Kemang's scene, Chen Jiangge became even more angry and pointed out that Luo Xia was fueling the situation by asking Ding Kemang to continue performing. After Luo Xia apologized, Chen Jiangge also educated Song Yang.

After learning about Chen Jiangge's criticism of Song Yang, Ding Kemang was worried about his emotions and immediately contacted him, comforted him, and then brought him to his home for rehearsals, protecting Song Yang's face throughout the process, which made Song Yang see the difference between Chen Jiangge and Ding Kemang.

Song Yang went to find Ding Kemang to practice acting with him, hoping to get some guidance from him. Ding Kemang watched his performance recording and thought there were a few parts where he couldn't follow Chen Jiangge's acting. Ding Kemang first calmed Song Yang's emotions, then provided guidance one by one, encouraging him to face temporary setbacks bravely and believe that his efforts would not be in vain. Negative news about this incident began to circulate online, and Kuang Nanshan quickly took action to deal with it, while also calling Song Yang to console him not to forget his original intention of taking up drama.

Song Yang's emotions never adjusted, and he even blamed himself for poor acting on the car. Xiao Li complimented him, saying that he was the best in her heart and that it was Chen Jiangge's demands that were too high. It was not that Chen Jiangge was too demanding on Song Yang, he was just such a person who strived for perfection in drama and on stage. He always sought perfection in rehearsals and on stage, discovered where improvements could be made and implemented them immediately, even studying lighting effects repeatedly. However, his attitude made Song Yang unable to cope, making him cautious in every scene with Chen Jiangge, focusing on how to cater to Chen Jiangge's attitude instead of the performance itself.

Before the performance, Mo Mo brought food to Song Yang, but he had no appetite. Although he hadn't eaten anything all day, he began vomiting, and Kong Liang, who was pretending to be concerned, but secretly wanted to replace him in the performance, responded positively. If he really wanted to help himself, he should give him more opportunities for stage exercises. Several young actors who were closer to Kong Liang began to talk behind Song Yang's back, and Luo Xia stepped in to criticize them. He knew Kong Liang's intentions and comforted him, saying that whether or not he could perform, he was still a part of "Father and Son." Later, Luo Xia went backstage to work with Song Yang, helping him relax. Even if Chen Jiangge was a big shot, not everything he did was necessarily right. He told him to perform according to his own feelings and mentality, and most of the audience outside were his fans.

Because the lighting engineer had a problem and Song Yang's stage experience was not enough, he did not make adjustments in time, and after the performance, Chen Jiangge flew into a rage again, blaming Song Yang for not handling the unexpected event on stage.

The lighting was in the wrong position, and he had to perform in the dark for ten minutes. Luo Xia emphasized that it was a technical problem and immediately requested rectification. Chen Jiangge pointed out that this was just a superficial solution and suggested that Group B should give it a try. Kong Liang saw an opportunity for himself after hearing this.

Song Yang wanted to explain himself, but Chen Jiangge said that accidents like this happen either because the actor is not familiar with the play or lacks confidence. He suggested that Group B should try instead, and if Song Yang continued like this, he would lose confidence and have to quit. Song Yang begged Chen Jiangge for another chance, explaining that he came to act in order to improve himself and to prove his worth to Chen Jiangge. He also knew the reason why Chen Jiangge didn't award him before, and he hoped to win the award through his own efforts, rather than relying on fake fans. Song Yang's emotional speech moved Luo Xia to also request that Chen Jiangge give Song Yang another chance, but Chen Jiangge was not pleased. He said that he had no grudges against Song Yang and that his issues were only with the play itself.

Song Yang called Ding Kemang after returning to the rehearsal room, begging him to help him with the play. Luo Xia informed Ding Kemang of what happened today, and Ding Kemang knew the reason why there was such a situation. He said that the gap between Chen Jiangge and Song Yang was too big, and he could make do with Song Yang, but Chen Jiangge could not. Jiang Ye inserted that Chen Jiangge was a double-edged sword in the theater world, and if one's acting skills were not strong enough, they were bound to become cannon fodder.

Luo Xia considered Song Yang's box office appeal and asked Ding Kemang to help him. He had put in all his effort into this play and almost fell ill again.

An Lun called Ding Momo to the office, where they found out that there was a video circulating online that smeared Song Yang's reputation. Ding Momo was very worried, but An Lun comforted her and said that they would have to see the attitude of the management company to handle the matter. On the other hand, Kuang Nanshan began urgent public relations work, mobilizing a team of lawyers to counterattack and trying to see results as soon as possible.

Song Yang has only been resting for three to four hours a day for the past few days and has been constantly anxious. He called Momo for comfort and she understood his feelings very well. As they interacted more, Momo realized that her concern for Song Yang went beyond the scope of friendship. The next morning, Xiao Li came over and Song Yang blamed her for not waking him up earlier. Xiao Li gently told him that he had the day off and the scheduled performance had been cancelled. It was only half a day later that Song Yang realized this. He asked about the situation with the troupe and found out that he didn't need to participate in the last performance. Song Yang felt very disappointed.

After adjusting his mood, Song Yang went to the small theater of the troupe as agreed, where he rehearsed with Ding Kemang. They went straight to the point and Song Yang's emotional control of the character was very good today. Ding Kemang was very satisfied and thought that his acting had improved. However, the play was cancelled, and Ding Kemang was afraid it would affect Song Yang. He went to Luo Xia to see if Song Yang could continue to perform, but Luo Xia said that it was not his decision. He wanted Song Yang to perform, and had already pleaded with Chen Jiangge on his behalf. However, the decision was made by the investor and he was powerless.

Ding Kemang went to see Momo and asked her to speak to An Lun, but Momo refused. The needs of the market had to be considered and the investor had to maximize profits and minimize losses. Even if An Lun went to see the CEO, the outcome would probably be the same. Ding Kemang left with no choice. An Lun saw this scene from downstairs and felt that he should do something.

Kong Liang came to the theater and saw Vice Captain Song busy taking down Song Yang's promotional advertisements. Vice Captain Song said that Kong Liang had benefited from someone else's misfortune, as Song Yang's career in the entertainment industry was probably over. The number of people who returned their tickets had not been counted yet, but it was estimated to reach thirty percent, which was unprecedented in the history of the troupe.

Momo came to find Song Yang late at night, apologized to him, and said that Ding Kemang came to the company to find her today, but she refused her father's request. Song Yang understood and said that he should be the one to apologize. He understood the company's decision and talked to Kuang Nanshan, who said it was a problem with fan operations. Momo told Song Yang that she couldn't help in public, but he could come to her in private if he had any problems. Ding Kemang also praised him, and Momo encouraged and blessed Song Yang, saying that his future path would be better.

When Momo returned home, she was in a bad mood and saw her father waiting for her. She said she wanted to drink, and Ding Kemang said he would accompany her to indulge. The next morning, Jiang Ye smelled alcohol in the house and saw the father and daughter staggering around. She guessed that they were upset about Song Yang's situation. Jiang Ye complained to Ding Kemang that she had already decided to let An Lun be her son-in-law because he was handsome, had a good background, and was financially capable. Ding Kemang told her not to worry, and Momo had to make her own decisions about her love life.

Jiang Ye asked Momo to invite An Lun to dinner at home, saying it was to thank him for his help at the hospital, but actually she wanted to bring Momo and An Lun closer together. After Momo went to work, she learned that An Lun had gone to the general manager to talk about Song Yang's situation. Although he was not successful, Momo was very touched. She mentioned that Jiang Ye was going to invite An Lun to dinner at home, and An Lun was very excited. Ding Kemang wanted to accompany Song Yang, but Jiang Ye scolded him and told him that they had invited An Lun to dinner next weekend and that he should think about what dishes to make. She thought An Lun should eat something light. Ding Kemang thought they didn't need to eat at home, but Jiang Ye blamed him for not understanding that it would be more intimate that way.

Song Yang thanked Ding Kemang for coming to accompany him. Ding Kemang told him that it should be Song Yang who was accompanying him. They both missed the final performance of "Father and Son" and needed to find a reason to get together. As they walked and talked, Song Yang's heart gradually relaxed. On the other side, Kong Liang replaced Song Yang and his excellent acting was recognized by Chen Jiangge. The final performance was a perfect success.

Song Yang told Momo that he wants to improve his acting skills to perform well in a play and prove something to someone. Momo thought that he was referring to his father, but Song Yang clarified that although his teacher Ding Kemang helped him a lot, he wants to prove something to someone else.

Momo became curious about who this person was, and Song Yang cleared his throat and said that he has never been in a real relationship before despite the rumors online. He then mentioned that he met a talented and beautiful girl with a great figure when he first joined the troupe, and Momo did not realize that the person he was referring to was her.

Upon learning that the inspection team is about to inspect the drama troupe, Luo Xia feels a bit nervous. Song Bang believes that Luo Xia has a good chance of becoming a regular member, and after some words of encouragement, Luo Xia is filled with anticipation.

An Lun is preparing to change jobs and turn "Father and Son" into a series, and Ding Momo happens to be the screenwriter for "Father and Son". He reminds Ding Momo to prepare for leaving her job.

Jiang Ye, who is jogging in the morning, is stopped by He Shui, who intentionally brings up the rumors about Ding Momo being sent home by different men. When Jiang Ye’s explanation falls on deaf ears, she resorts to sarcasm and humiliates He Shui.

Unable to win the argument with Jiang Ye, He Shui complains to Luo Xia, asking him to make Jiang Ye apologize to her. Now facing inspection, Luo Xia is worried that He Shui's loose lips will affect him, so he can only seek help from Ding Kemang. When he learns that Luo Xia has to make Jiang Ye apologize to someone else, Ding Kemang believes that Luo Xia is putting him in a difficult position, but he still decides to try.

To help Luo Xia, Ding Kemang specially prepares a big meal. When he tells Jiang Ye about Luo Xia's situation, she accuses him of disregarding his wife's feelings for the sake of his friend.

After returning home, Ding Momo notices that Ding Kemang is in a bad mood and after questioning him, she learns about his situation with Jiang Ye. She believes that Ding Kemang should apologize to Jiang Ye. Seeing that Ding Kemang is still thinking about how to explain to Luo Xia, Ding Momo learns from him that years ago, when Ding Kemang took Ding Momo to perform in Shanghai, it was actually Luo Xia's wife who took them there. Ding Kemang feels that he owes Luo Xia.

Learning that he and Jiang Ye had a falling out again because of him, Ding Kemang immediately went to find Jiang Ye, but she was nowhere to be found. Ding Momo takes Luo Xia and Ding Kemang to the villa that Jiang Ye bought, and after Luo Xia apologizes to Jiang Ye, he suggests that they all go out to eat, which makes Jiang Ye no longer angry.

During dinner, Ding Momo receives a call from Song Yang and secretly goes out to meet him. When asked by Song Yang, Ding Momo explains the reason for her resignation. Song Yang is a bit suspicious about Ding Momo wanting to jump ship with An Lun after hearing her explanation, but he shows magnanimity. However, when Ding Momo is about to leave, Song Yang expresses his jealousy and Ding Momo comforts him with a kiss.

Ding Kemang meets with the director and learns that the director wants him to be the head of the drama troupe, but he recommends Luo Xia to the director. The director asks him to go back and think about it.

Ding Kemang, who was troubled by the matter of being a team leader, received a call from Song Yang and met him at a noodle shop, where he became drunk and upset. Song Yang sent the drunken Ding Kemang home, much to the annoyance of Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye did not allow Song Yang to talk to Ding Momo and simply drove him away, claiming that they were too rushed for time. When Ding Momo sent Song Yang away, she learned from him that Ding Kemang had been talked to by the bureau chief and that the bureau was considering him for the position of team leader.

The next day, Ding Momo secretly asked about Ding Kemang's position as team leader and learned from him that he had no intention of taking the job. Jiang Ye learned from Ding Momo about Ding Kemang's candidacy for the position and recalled her previous humiliation when her role was replaced by Ding Kemang. She believed that their lack of influence was to blame and that Ding Kemang becoming team leader would bring about a change. Therefore, she decided to persuade Ding Kemang.

Song Yang arranged for Ding Momo to come to his house, claiming that he needed her help with his new English play. However, Jiang Ye kept a close eye on Ding Momo and urged her to go home early.

Before bedtime, Jiang Ye went to persuade Ding Kemang to become team leader, using various arguments and even offering to become a good wife and mother if he did so. To appease Jiang Ye, Ding Kemang finally agreed.

The next day, Jiang Ye began her life as a good wife and mother, getting up early to prepare breakfast. Ding Kemang did not object, and Ding Momo understood Jiang Ye's intentions.

At night, Jiang Ye suggested that she and Ding Kemang end their separate rooms and move back in together. The next day, Jiang Ye and Ding Kemang showed their affection in front of everyone at the drama troupe, but Luo Xia made fun of them, leaving Ding Kemang feeling uncomfortable.

While waiting for Luo Xia in his office, Ding Kemang met Zhao Xiaopu, who had come to give him a gift. Ding Kemang advised her kindly, but Zhao Xiaopu mocked him for having his role replaced. Ding Kemang didn't care.

In the cafeteria, Jiang Ye overheard Zhao Xiaopu badmouthing Ding Kemang and publicly ridiculed her. Zhao Xiaopu became angry and argued with her, hitting a nerve when he mentioned Ding Kemang's conversation with the bureau. Jiang Ye slapped her. Afterward, she publicly revealed Ding Kemang's conversation with the bureau.

Still troubled by the matter of being a team leader, Ding Kemang agreed with Ding Momo's suggestion to push the issue to the higher-ups.

Upon learning about Ding Kemang's conversation with the bureau, Luo Xia went to find him but found Ding Momo instead. From her, he learned that Ding Kemang had no intention of becoming the team leader.

Jiang Ye wanted to invite An Lun to her house for dinner, but Ding Momo didn't know how to say no, so she went to Tan Xiaoxin for advice.

After meeting with Ding Momo, Tan Xiaoxin learned that Ding Momo didn't want An Lun to misunderstand, and suggested she directly explain the situation to him. However, Ding Momo was concerned about her relationship with An Lun as friends and superiors, and ultimately decided not to use Tan Xiaoxin's method.

Ding Momo went to the horse stable to find Song Yang to tell him about An Lun, and their sweet scene was captured by someone.

When Song Yang sent Ding Momo home, he found out about the situation with An Lun and expressed understanding towards Jiang Ye and Ding Momo.

Late at night, Luo Xia heard He Shui come to his house but was afraid to open the door. Jiang Ye, who was at home, opened the door when she heard the sound, and He Shui immediately entered. He Shui wanted to know about Luo Xia's role as captain, but Jiang Ye didn't say much. He Shui then hinted at Ding Kemang's ulterior motives with the success of the play "Father and Son" and left. Facing Ding Kemang and Ding Momo's inquiries, Jiang Ye could only mention her argument with Zhao Xiaopu in the cafeteria. Jiang Ye then began to talk about inviting An Lun to her house for dinner again, but Ding Kemang still supported Ding Momo's decision.

The next day, Zhao Xiaopu went to Luo Xia's house with a gift to ask for his help with her job title, but the gift was not accepted and she was kicked out.

Meanwhile, under Jiang Ye's urging, Ding Momo was about to go out to greet An Lun when she arrived at the door herself. An Lun brought gifts for Jiang Ye and Ding Kemang, which pleased Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye then helped An Lun put on an apron and let Ding Momo get closer to him.

Jiang Ye was initially happy about An Lun's arrival, but her mood was ruined by Song Yang's arrival. No matter how she tried to drive him away, he stayed. Later, Song Yang went to the kitchen and intentionally got close to Ding Momo, asserting his dominance.

At the dinner table, Jiang Ye learned of An Lun's high education level and sarcastically scolded Song Yang, who responded positively. During the meal, Ding Momo saw Song Yang get oil on his clothes and took him to the bathroom to clean up. An Lun became jealous and Jiang Ye noticed, so she tried to ease the tension.

After an unsatisfactory meal, Ding Momo comforted Song Yang when she sent him home and then kissed him, which was also captured on camera.

Kuang Nanshan waited for Song Yang to come back home and advised him not to get too close to Ding Momo, then showed him a picture of Song Yang and Ding Momo together that someone had taken without their knowledge. Song Yang was very angry after seeing the photo and stated that he would not break up with Ding Momo, leaving Kuang Nanshan powerless.

During a walk, Ding Kemang told Luo Xia that he would not become the captain of the drama troupe. Luo Xia promised to cooperate with Ding Kemang but couldn't help insulting him.

When Ding Momo greeted Luo Xia upon returning home, Luo Xia pretended not to see her. Ding Momo and Ding Kemang chatted downstairs, and Ding Kemang encouraged Ding Momo to explain her relationship with An Lun.

After returning home, Ding Momo told Jiang Ye that Ding Kemang didn't want to become the captain of the troupe, and Jiang Ye tried to persuade him. The next morning, Xiao Li found Song Yang sleeping on the sofa when she went to see him.

Jiang Ye hoped that Ding Kemang would become the captain of the troupe, but knowing that he was not interested, she chose to respect his decision. When Luo Xia met Jiang Ye, who had come to see him, he learned about Ding Kemang being questioned by the bureau. Jiang Ye wanted Ding Kemang to be the captain, but Luo Xia thought she was the one who reported him, which angered him and caused his heart disease to act up. However, Jiang Ye said that if she had to report, she would use her real name.

Ding Momo often accompanied Song Yang, and she learned from him that he had to leave because of filming. She comforted him by saying that their relationship would not be affected by distance. On the day Song Yang left, Ding Momo had to return to work at the company because of something urgent. She explained her relationship status to An Lun, who had already guessed it. An Lun assured her that they were just colleagues, which relieved Ding Momo.

Because Jiang Ye reported Luo Xia and He Shui's misconduct with her real name, Luo Xia was questioned by the bureau. He Shui felt that she was implicated by Luo Xia and apologized to him after he apologized to her for his actions.

Ding Kemang questioned Jiang Ye about Luo Xia's case when he returned home, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong. Ding Momo was with An Lun and Zhan Zuodi during a meeting when Song Yang called, but she couldn't answer the phone.

Jiang Ye went to investigate Luo Xia's case and asked He Shui about Luo Xia's interference in her marriage. However, He Shui changed her mind and apologized to Jiang Ye, leaving her confused about what to do next.

Jiang Ye followed Ding Kemang to Luo Xia's house and confronted He Shui, who refused to admit that she had accused Luo Xia of destroying her family. Luo Xia believed that Jiang Ye was trying to falsely accuse him in order to make Ding Kemang the team leader. Everyone argued and Jiang Ye did not apologize to Luo Xia. Meanwhile, Luo Xia had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital.

Song Yang waited for Ding Momo at the restaurant but she couldn't make it due to work. Ding Kemang tried to convince Jiang Ye to apologize to Luo Xia at the hospital, but they argued instead. Ding Kemang was upset because Luo Xia's health was in danger and Jiang Ye was being unreasonable.

Song Yang waited until the restaurant closed, but Ding Momo still hadn't arrived. Jiang Ye gave Ding Kemang the divorce papers and they decided to get a divorce because of the deepening rift between them.

Ding Momo apologized to Song Yang for being late due to work. He was worried that An Lun would try to take her away, but she assured him that she loved him. Ding Momo also revealed to Ding Kemang that she was dating Song Yang, which he supported but she didn't want to tell Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye packed up everything related to Ding Kemang in the villa. Ding Momo decided to live with her and persuaded her to stay.

Kong Liang's fame increased and Tong Hua came to him for comfort when she was upset about Ding Momo and Song Yang. After hearing his confession of love, she decided to be with him.

Jiang Ye was curious about Ding Momo's relationship with An Lun but she always changed the subject. When they had dinner together, she saw a message from Song Yang but only glanced at it.

Luo Xia became the new team leader of the theater troupe and was happy about it. He also punished Jiang Ye for her actions.

Ding Kemang thought that Jiang Ye should resign after being punished by Luo Xia.

Ding Momo bought a lot of food and went home to eat with Jiang Ye. She urged Jiang Ye not to divorce Ding Kemang, but Jiang Ye had already made up her mind.

Due to the success of the play "Father and Son," the investors decided to make a TV drama version. Ding Momo had Ding Kemang in mind for the role of the father, but An Lun chose Chen Jiangge instead. Chen Jiangge believed that "Father and Son" should be made into a movie.

Ding Momo was worried about Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye. After the meeting, she found An Lun and was discussing not wanting to be responsible for selecting actors when she learned from An Lun that Ding Kemang had won an award for a version of "Father and Son" he had acted in.

The version of the play that Ding Kemang was chosen for by Luo Xia ended up winning an award. Luo Xia was very happy for Ding Kemang, and Ding Kemang was also very happy.

Jiang Ye learned about Ding Kemang's award from Ding Momo but didn't care.

Ding Kemang was very satisfied as he looked at the award that recognized his acting skills at home. To celebrate his achievement, he bought flowers and received a congratulatory call from Song Yang. While still on the phone, Song Yang suddenly appeared.

He Shui visited Luo Xia to help with her job title and mentioned Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye's divorce.

To help Jiang Ye and Ding Kemang reconcile, Song Yang specially bought them a watch, hoping to ease their relationship.

Jiang Ye received a phone call from the previous director asking her to act in a play. She wanted to refuse, but hesitated.

Jiang Ye saw Ding Momo come home with a new script and complained to her. She then asked about Ding Kemang's situation. Jiang Ye learned from Ding Momo that Ding Kemang was not doing well and was somewhat unhappy. When Ding Momo invited Jiang Ye to attend Ding Kemang's celebration party and offer relationship advice, Jiang Ye was hesitant.

The next day, Jiang Ye met with the director and was asked to play the villain. She was unhappy to learn that Su Xiaotang was the actress that the director had previously helped.

When Song Yang met with Ding Momo, he learned that she was worried about choosing actors for the TV drama version of "Father and Son" and advised her to choose whoever she wanted.

To get Jiang Ye to attend the celebration party, Ding Kemang personally invited her but was still rejected. Ding Momo immediately went home after learning that Ding Kemang had been turned down and comforted Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye complained to Ding Momo about the director and producer, saying she didn't want to accept the script but ultimately gave in to reality.

Song Yang brought photos of Jiang Ye when she was young, hoping to persuade her to attend Ding Kemang's celebration banquet. However, he ended up speaking from the heart, which moved Jiang Ye and made her start thinking about her relationship with Ding Kemang.

The celebration banquet happened to be the day ACA signed a contract with the Beijing-Han Drama Troupe. Ding Kemang went on stage alone and gave his award-winning speech, answering reporters' tricky questions with ease. When asked about his divorce with Jiang Ye, Ding Kemang became emotional, but just then, Jiang Ye arrived in her evening dress and hugged Ding Kemang, dispelling the rumors of their divorce. Seeing that the reporters wanted to continue questioning, Song Yang and An Lun stepped in and controlled the situation.

Ding Momo worried when she saw An Lun talking to Song Yang. At the same time, An Lun invited Song Yang to participate in the company's movie and TV drama production, but Song Yang specifically asked that Ding Momo not be the producer.

At the same time, Jiang Ye mentioned Song Yang, believing that if it weren't for him, An Lun would be a better fit for Ding Momo. But now Jiang Ye was too busy to deal with Ding Momo's love affairs.

After the banquet, Ding Momo arranged a dinner. During the meal, Ding Kemang invited Jiang Ye to stay at his house, but Ding Momo tried to persuade Jiang Ye to help Ding Kemang with a new script. In the end, Jiang Ye still did not change her mind about divorcing Ding Kemang.

When discussing the TV drama "Father and Son," Ding Momo did not want to use her own family members and suggested using unfamiliar faces. An Lun understood but did not make a decision.

Ding Momo thought Song Yang would be upset with her decision and told him about it, but he fully supported her choice, which moved her deeply. Song Yang proposed to get engaged to Ding Momo, but he was restrained by his contract with the company and decided to wait until after the performance of "Alien Invasion" to get engaged.

Kong Liang wanted to recommend Tong Hua to Kuang Nanshan, but he never had the chance. Kong Liang finally had some time off and asked Tong Hua to accompany him, ignoring her filming work. He then showed Tong Hua the intimate photos of Song Yang and Ding Momo that were secretly taken.

At the same time, Song Yang and Ding Momo's photos were exposed. Song Yang wanted to go public with their relationship, but Kuang Nanshan believed it would affect the company's promotional plan and disagreed.

Due to his younger brother's illness and urgent need for money, He Shui went to Luo Xia's house to borrow money, but found out that Luo Xia was not home. Ding Kemang, upon learning this, deliberately transferred the money to Luo Xia to pass on to He Shui for emergency use. When He Shui learned about this, he was very grateful to Ding Kemang, but also felt guilty for causing the breakdown of Ding Kemang's relationship with Jiang Ye.

After winning an award, Ding Kemang quickly received an invitation from a film crew and took on the role of Guiguzi in the film. In order to understand the role better, he requested to enter the crew half a month later. To better fit the role, Ding Kemang asked Ding Momo to supervise his weight loss. At this time, Ding Momo received a call from Song Yang, warning her not to believe in internet rumors, to which she replied that she would always believe in Song Yang.

When Ding Momo arrived at the company building, she was surrounded by reporters who asked about her relationship with Song Yang. She didn't answer and left. Song Yang was very worried after hearing about this and immediately contacted Ding Momo to comfort her, but she didn't think it was a big deal.

Upon learning about Ding Momo's situation, Ding Kemang specifically came to discuss with Jiang Ye, who was also very worried. Later, Ding Kemang found Ding Momo to discuss countermeasures, and Ding Momo comforted him.

Because of his relationship with Ding Momo, Song Yang also became the focus of public opinion, and was besieged by reporters all day long. Kuang Nanshan was very angry, suspecting that someone in the industry was trying to affect Song Yang's image through this.

After work, Ding Momo was surrounded by reporters at the theater door, but Ding Kemang could only drive them away by calling the police. Kuang Nanshan arrived and had a private conversation with Ding Momo. She suggested that in order to reduce the heat, Ding Momo should not meet with Song Yang for the time being, and should protect her own safety.

Upon seeing Tong Hua's online report, Chen Jiangge remembered the photo that Kong Liang had shown him before and suspected that Kong Liang was behind the rumors about Song Yang. He immediately went to confront Kong Liang, who denied it on the spot. Tong Hua also believed him. Kong Liang then accused Tong Hua of always thinking about Song Yang, even though she was his girlfriend.

In order to gain attention, Su Xiaotang deliberately used Weibo to guide her fans to treat Ding Momo as a fan and bully her online. Song Yang was very angry after learning that Ding Momo was stopped by fans and affected in her daily life. He immediately found Su Xiaotang and scolded her, using the truth about her past spread of rumors with him as a handle, and warned her not to spread rumors again. Su Xiaotang was scared and agreed on the spot.

Worried about Ding Momo's safety, Ding Kemang specially picked her up from work and sent her in a taxi to Jiang Ye's house. When Ding Momo returned to Jiang Ye's house, she saw that Jiang Ye had abandoned her image as an actress and was binge eating. Jiang Ye believed that they both had unresolved issues in their hearts.

While drinking with Luo Xia, Ding Kemang talked about many things that happened in the past, and later they discussed Ding Kemang's situation with Jiang Ye. After hearing Luo Xia's opinion of him being too self-disciplined, Ding Kemang asked for advice and found it reasonable.

Worried about Ding Momo, Song Yang went to look for her but was stopped by Xiao Li. She persuaded him to think about his future and Ding Momo's safety, so Song Yang had no choice but to return. He later contacted Ding Momo, expressing his longing for her, and she said she understood the company and was willing to cooperate, which touched Song Yang deeply.

After eating the sour and spicy pig feet that Ding Momo brought, Jiang Ye knew that Tan Xiaoxin was now in the live-streaming industry. She was inspired by Tan Xiaoxin and also had the idea of trying to tell stories online.

Looking at Jiang Ye's photo, He Shui felt guilty about influencing Jiang Ye's marriage with Ding Kemang. Song Bang discovered He Shui and talked to her about Song Yang's situation, as well as Ding Kemang's divorce and daughter being attacked online, which made He Shui very sad.

The next day, He Shui met Luo Xia while he was walking his dog. Luo Xia expressed his desire to be with her, but she rejected him because of her emotional baggage.

After hearing Ding Kemang's story about Su Shi and Fo Yin, Song Yang understood the meaning and was deeply moved.

Out of jealousy that Kuang Nanshan valued Song Yang, Kong Liang set a trap to frame Song Yang for soliciting prostitution. However, Song Yang was delayed and did not enter the room where Kong Liang had arranged the setup. He saw the police arresting the woman in the room and found out that someone had reported him for having a woman in his room.

Kong Liang was gloating over the fact that assistant Xiao Wang couldn't reach Song Yang when he received a call from him. Despite Kong Liang's explanations, Song Yang knew his intentions and warned him without explicitly stating it.

He Shui found Ding Kemang and Luo Xia and confessed her false accusation against Jiang Ye, shocking the two men.

Ding Kemang remembered what Jiang Ye had said before and realized that he had misunderstood her, feeling guilty.

The next day, Luo Xia saw He Shui looking for him while walking his dog and immediately left with the dog.

Ding Momo, who was about to go on a business trip, learned that Jiang Ye was going to start live streaming while having breakfast, and she was very supportive.

Ding Kemang had been dragging on the divorce matter, but Jiang Ye decided to divorce him as soon as possible. After breakfast, she went to the law firm and decided to sue for divorce.

On the day of the new drama reading, Ding Kemang met Luo Xia, who had come to apologize to Jiang Ye for feeling guilty, and he also felt remorse for not communicating with Jiang Ye. Luo Xia decided to apologize to Jiang Ye with Ding Kemang and later attended Jiang Ye's celebration dinner, where Jiang Ye was recognized to still have feelings for Ding Kemang, but he did not think so.

Ding Kemang started the new drama reading, and Jiang Ye also started her first live stream.

Luo Xia went to Jiang Ye's house and explained the truth about He Shui, apologizing to Jiang Ye. However, Jiang Ye not only did not accept the apology but also had already sued for divorce from Ding Kemang.

After leaving Jiang Ye's house, Luo Xia tried to save the marriage of Jiang Ye and Ding Kemang by immediately contacting Ding Momo. However, unable to contact her, he had to go find Song Yang. From Luo Xia, Song Yang learned about Jiang Ye's divorce lawsuit but didn't want to disturb Ding Momo's work and decided to handle it himself.

Knowing that Jiang Ye was live streaming, Song Yang went to see her, pretending to bring a script and later suggested eating Jiang Ye's food. Jiang Ye had now accepted Song Yang and Ding Momo's relationship and cooked a meal for him. They then had dinner together.

At the dining table, Jiang Ye faced Song Yang's inquiry about why she helped He Shui with cooking, and revealed her opinion of He Shui. Jiang Ye believed that He Shui was not a bad person, and was genuinely fond of Luo Xia, which was why she hid some information from the investigation team. Later, Song Yang asked Jiang Ye if she regretted divorcing Ding Kemang, and after hearing her answer, Song Yang shared his own story of regret about missing his last chance to talk to his police father because he went to an internet cafe instead. Jiang Ye was moved by Song Yang's story, and he took the opportunity to ask her to give Ding Kemang another chance.

Ding Kemang learned from Song Yang's phone call that Jiang Ye was coming home, so he personally cooked her favorite dishes. When Jiang Ye went home to get her things, she saw that Ding Kemang had fixed her grandfather's broken purple clay teapot, which touched her heart and led her to sit down and chat with him. Ding Kemang talked about how he had personally fixed the teapot and felt guilty about not knowing about Jiang Ye's grandfather's illness earlier due to communication issues. After their conversation, the relationship between Jiang Ye and Ding Kemang improved.

At Ding Kemang's home, Jiang Ye was grateful for Ding Kemang's help in repairing her grandfather's purple clay pot. They drank together and unknowingly had a few more glasses. Ding Kemang voluntarily offered Jiang Ye to stay and rest. At that moment, Luo Xia arrived at Ding Kemang's house.

Luo Xia had planned to inform Ding Kemang about Jiang Ye's intention to divorce him, but upon seeing Jiang Ye, he didn't speak and immediately left. Ding Kemang caught up and asked about the situation, but Luo Xia did not reveal the truth. Instead, he thought that since Jiang Ye was already at Ding Kemang's home, they would not divorce, and he admired Ding Kemang's tactics.

After returning home, Ding Kemang couldn't find Jiang Ye and was worried that she might have had an accident due to drinking. He immediately went out to look for her, but even after searching her villa, he couldn't find her. At that moment, Ding Momo called to inquire about Jiang Ye's whereabouts, but Ding Kemang didn't want to worry her and told her that Jiang Ye was with him.

To find Jiang Ye, Ding Kemang contacted Song Yang to ask about places she liked to go. He realized that he hadn't paid enough attention to Jiang Ye's interests. Then he remembered that Jiang Ye often mentioned a noodle shop that she liked to go to with her grandfather, and just then, Song Yang arrived in his car.

As Song Yang drove behind them, Ding Kemang followed Jiang Ye, who was drunk and headed towards the closed noodle shop. Ding Kemang was heartbroken to see Jiang Ye knocking on the door, so he immediately embraced her. Jiang Ye felt guilty about not being able to fulfill her grandfather's wish to eat fried sauce noodles that day. Ding Kemang comforted her and was about to take her away when she apologized to him. He patiently persuaded her and finally sent her back to the villa.

Jiang Ye, who was hungover, woke up the next day and remembered what had happened yesterday. She was very grateful to Ding Kemang and took the initiative to wash and return his coat that he had left at her house before he went back to the drama troupe.

When Jiang Ye met with Ding Kemang, she was shocked to hear from him about what He Shui had said. Afterwards, Jiang Ye brought up the divorce lawsuit, but Ding Kemang did not respond positively and made various excuses, leaving Jiang Ye with no way out.

After Ding Momo returned from her business trip, Song Yang picked her up from the airport. While they were discussing what to eat, Song Yang received an anonymous call and learned that Kong Liang was responsible for the recent negative publicity and the attempted frame-up.

Angered by this, Song Yang immediately went back to the company and confronted Kong Liang. However, Kong Liang's assistant's disrespectful attitude and Kong Liang's pretense of being pitiable provoked Song Yang to the point that he punched the assistant. Ding Momo arrived in time to stop him, but unfortunately someone had already recorded a video of Song Yang punching someone.

Upon learning that a video of him punching someone had been recorded and that all his work had been canceled, Kuang Nanshan immediately came to handle the situation. Despite her repeated requests to keep the news under wraps, the video was still leaked.

The next day, Song Yang learned from Xiao Li that his job had been canceled because of the video of him punching someone. Public opinion was boiling and Song Yang was deeply trapped in the vortex of public opinion, which could even affect the company's bet with Rongding. Although Kuang Nanshan knew that the matter was related to Kong Liang, she could not do anything to him for the sake of the company.

Regarding the incident where Song Yang got into a fight, Ding Kemang sought out Kong Liang and learned from him that it was a misunderstanding. However, Ding Kemang was not entirely convinced and asked Kong Liang to take care of Song Yang because of their relationship.

As the incident continued to escalate, Kuang Nanshan suggested that Song Yang go abroad to avoid the trouble. Knowing that he had caused trouble for Kuang Nanshan, Song Yang agreed to go overseas.

After returning home, Song Yang started arranging things before going abroad and prepared funds for Xiao Li, who wanted to buy a house for her parents.

Song Yang personally delivered a massage chair to Ding Kemang's filming location and explained to him that he had decided to break up with Ding Momo so as not to burden her, despite Ding Kemang's repeated persuasion.

Song Yang went on a date with Ding Momo to ride the Ferris wheel, where they had many conversations and Song Yang received a lucky charm from Ding Momo. While kissing on the Ferris wheel, Song Yang said goodbye to Ding Momo without words.

Kuang Nanshan, who planned to send Song Yang abroad, couldn't find him. Xiao Li helped deliver a letter to Ding Momo, who realized that Song Yang had already decided to leave after seeing the scene on the Ferris wheel.

Su Xiaotang was pleased to hear about Song Yang's departure, while Ding Kemang felt guilty for not choosing to go with him to protect Ding Momo from media harassment.

After finishing filming "The Warring States," Ding Kemang, wanting to make amends, searched for Song Yang all over the country. Meanwhile, Ding Momo could only go to the place where they had their date and grieve for Song Yang.

By chance, Ding Kemang saw the news online that Song Yang would participate in a fighting competition and immediately rushed to the competition venue at a fighting club, where he found Song Yang.

Song Yang faced Ding Kemang's criticism and expressed his satisfaction with his fulfilling life, rejecting Ding Kemang's idea of taking him away. He wanted to prove himself through this competition.

Unable to persuade Song Yang, Ding Kemang decided to stay and watch his match, and the two agreed to return to Beijing together after the competition.

When Ding Momo finished work, she refused An Lun's offer to walk her home and instead went to the park, looking at the Ferris wheel where she had been with Song Yang, hoping for his return.

On the day of the boxing match, Ding Kemang learned that Song Yang's opponent had the skills of a professional fighter and was very worried.

The agreement that Song Yang signed with the club did not require him to win or lose, the coach only wanted Song Yang to gain more influence through the match, so the coach had already told Song Yang's opponent to control the intensity of his punches.

During the match, Song Yang, who still had some fight left in him, gradually lost his strength as time passed and eventually fell behind. Ding Kemang watched anxiously as Song Yang remembered his father's words and imagined Ding Momo's figure. In a burst of energy, he knocked out his opponent and ultimately won the match.

The boxing match brought Song Yang back into the public eye, and online public opinion began to suggest that he was set up. The blame was indirectly pointed at Kong Liang, and Kuang Nanshan decided to take action.

Ding Kemang asked Song Yang to go back to Beijing with him, but Song Yang still had some concerns in his heart. Ding Kemang agreed to let him consider it first.

Ding Momo found Ding Kemang's voice in the background of Song Yang's competition photos online and appreciated his good intentions. When Kuang Nanshan came to express her gratitude to Ding Kemang, he felt that it was his duty and did not hesitate to give recognition to Song Yang.

Ding Momo didn't know if Song Yang would come back or not, so she asked Jiang Ye for comfort.

The new script "Chun Nuan Hua Kai" approached Ding Kemang, who agreed to shoot it and even waived his fee, only requesting that Jiang Ye play the female lead. Director Yan agreed immediately, but was surprised when he contacted Jiang Ye and she refused directly.

When Song Yang arrived at the drama troupe, Ding Kemang was busy assigning rehearsal tasks to young actors. Ding Kemang was very happy to see Song Yang's figure, and he encouraged him when he saw that Song Yang lacked confidence.

Upon learning that Song Yang had returned, Luo Xia was overjoyed and decided to use the press conference for "Yang Fan Yuan Hang" to announce Song Yang's comeback in a high-profile manner. Kong Liang learned about this and pretended to care, asking Kuang Nanshan for the position of the press conference.

Jiang Ye noticed that Ding Momo hesitated to speak when they were having dinner together. After inquiring, she learned that Ding Momo wanted her to participate in "Chun Nuan Hua Kai." Jiang Ye knew that this was what Ding Kemang wanted, so she did not agree.

During the press conference, colleagues from the drama troupe stopped their rehearsal to watch the live broadcast. Song Yang sincerely apologized at the press conference and spoke about his plans for his future career as an actor. He also publicly apologized to Ding Momo. However, Kuang Nanshan cancelled the press conference on the spot because Song Yang did not follow the prepared speech. Nevertheless, Song Yang persisted and promised to work hard to show his true self to the audience.

After watching the live broadcast, Ding Momo received a call from Ding Kemang. She was torn and worried about the pressure Song Yang would face because of the press conference.

After the press conference, Kuang Nanshan angrily rebuked Song Yang, believing that he had arbitrarily changed his speech, leaving her unprepared. Seeing that Song Yang had not repented and only wanted to act, Kuang Nanshan expressed her disappointment and said she would give up on him. Song Yang, in turn, was willing to use all the money he had earned to subsidize Kuang Nanshan, and explained that he only wanted to act now.

Unable to understand Song Yang's decision, Ding Momo turned to Ding Kemang for answers and learned that Song Yang had made a choice and now only wanted to be his true self.

Kong Liang was startled awake by a nightmare in which Song Yang pushed him onto the road, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

At the same time, Kuang Nanshan, who was originally worried about Song Yang, heard from her assistant Lisa that she could make a name for a newcomer and began to consider giving Song Yang a chance.

To persuade Jiang Ye to star in "Chun Nuan Hua Kai," Ding Kemang spoke from the heart to Jiang Ye, telling her that she would always be the shining female lead on stage in his heart.

After some reflection, Luo Xia still couldn't let go of He Shui and took the initiative to approach her, hoping to reconcile. Seeing that He Shui had unresolved issues, Luo Xia made a self-reflection.

After careful consideration, Kuang Nanshan decided to give Song Yang a chance and mobilized all her resources to help him find a script, determined to help him set sail once again, greatly moving Song Yang.

Ding Kemang did household chores and prepared breakfast for Jiang Ye in her home in order to persuade her to take on the role of "Chun Nuan Hua Kai". Jiang Ye, who woke up early, naturally understood his intentions but still refused to read the script. Ding Kemang chose to read the script to Jiang Ye himself, but when Jiang Ye found out that Ding Kemang had persuaded the housekeeper to leave, she was very angry, feeling that her life had been influenced by him, and decided to leave on her own. Ding Kemang saw the situation and was afraid of making Jiang Ye angry, so he left alone.

When Song Yang returned home, he met Ding Momo, who came with a gift from her fans and sought his forgiveness. Song Yang learned from Ding Momo that his fans no longer bother her, but he was unwilling to accept the gift from the fans. Ding Momo was very unhappy with Song Yang's attitude and accused him of not considering her feelings, and then she suggested they break up.

After returning home, Ding Momo saw Jiang Ye who was planning to travel to Tibet and did not persuade her much. She only put the script of "Chun Nuan Hua Kai" into Jiang Ye's luggage while helping her pack.

When Jiang Ye was about to leave, she received a call from the airline canceling her flight due to bad weather. Feeling upset, she accidentally saw the script of "Chun Nuan Hua Kai" and was moved by it after reading it carefully.

After reading all the scripts, Song Yang decided to play the role of Liang Yu, the Dan role in the play "Da Wu Tai" which was assigned by the director, with Kong Liang and Su Xiaotang playing the male and female lead roles. Kuang Nanshan was very puzzled because the role of Liang Yu was too small, but after listening to Song Yang's decision to polish his acting skills with this role and rehearse with the theater troupe, she agreed.

Upon learning that Song Yang was going to participate in "Da Wu Tai," Kong Liang was worried that Song Yang would affect him, and he was very dissatisfied. Knowing that he could not replace Song Yang's position in Kuang Nanshan's heart, Kong Liang even wanted to leave.

After watching "Chun Nuan Hua Kai," Jiang Ye realized that her position in the industry would not allow Director Yan to specifically choose her for a role, so she went to ask him about it. After the conversation, Jiang Ye found out that it was all Ding Kemang's doing. Not wanting to owe Ding Kemang a favor, Jiang Ye decided to leave, but on the way out, she remembered what Ding Kemang had said and ultimately chose to accept the role in "Chun Nuan Hua Kai" and offered to waive her fee to ensure Ding Kemang's participation.

Upon learning that Jiang Ye was about to join the cast of "Chun Nuan Hua Kai," Ding Momo was very happy. When helping Jiang Ye pack her luggage, she heard Jiang Ye ask about the screenwriter of "Chun Nuan Hua Kai," Wei Guang, and admitted that she did not know him.

Worried that Song Yang would become famous through "Da Wu Tai," Kong Liang and Su Xiaotang decided to join forces against him.

When Kuang Nanshan met with the director of "Da Wu Tai," the director made it clear that if Song Yang were to play Liang Yu, all of Liang Yu's lines would be taken away. Upon learning of this, Song Yang still decided to play Liang Yu regardless of the importance of the role.

In the drama "Da Wu Tai", Song Yang suffered from unfair treatment, and Kuang Nanshan knew that it was related to Kong Liang. Kuang Nanshan comforted Song Yang and promised to help him out later. Then, to ensure Song Yang's safety during filming, she went to find Kong Liang.

At this time, Kong Liang was fooling around with Su Xiaotang. When he saw Kuang Nanshan's arrival, Su Xiaotang immediately hid. Kuang Nanshan met with Kong Liang and threatened him with his dark secrets. She made it clear that Kong Liang cannot harm Song Yang during the filming period, and if Director Wang deleted Song Yang's scenes again, she would replace the director.

After a period of filming, "Chun Nuan Hua Kai" officially wrapped up. Jiang Ye expressed her gratitude for being able to participate in the production. At this time, Director Yan received a call that the screenwriter of "Chun Nuan Hua Kai" had arrived, which excited Jiang Ye. However, she was surprised to see Ding Kemang instead. Ding Kemang was the screenwriter, Weiguang. He explained his original intention of creating "Chun Nuan Hua Kai" and apologized to Jiang Ye in front of the entire crew. Finally, Jiang Ye forgave him.

Ding Kemang and Jiang Ye went to the park where they witnessed their love. They remembered many things from the past. The blooming and withering lotus flowers in the pond reflected their lives. Jiang Ye confirmed that Ding Kemang really wanted to save their relationship.

To repay Ding Kemang and prepare some local specialties to give to Jiang Ye, He Shui asked Luo Xia to help deliver them.

Ding Momo was happy to hear that Jiang Ye and Ding Kemang had reconciled and moved back home. Jiang Ye saw Luo Xia, who came to deliver the gifts, and asked her to bring He Shui as well. Jiang Ye confessed that she had hidden Luo Xia and He Shui's relationship before because she hoped that they could be together. Now, Jiang Ye still wanted to match them up.

Ding Kemang let Luo Xia and He Shui register their marriage and tore up his divorce agreement with Jiang Ye.

After Director Wang modified the script, the female lead Liang Yu became a mute character with no lines. Despite this, Song Yang still took the role seriously and performed with his body language, impressing everyone present. Director Wang even regretted cutting Song Yang's scenes.

On the day of the annual Starlight Awards ceremony, Chen Jiangge took the stage as a presenter and, in front of all the audience, revealed that he had refused to present an award to Song Yang two years ago. But now, seeing Song Yang's change and witnessing his growth, Chen Jiangge chose to present Song Yang with the Most Improved Actor Award instead of honoring the veteran artist as he had planned.

In the midst of all the attention, Song Yang took the stage to give his acceptance speech, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity given to him by the play and his partner Luo Xia, and especially to Ding Kemang, his mentor who taught him to become a good actor.

When Kuang Nanshan learned that Kong Liang was planning to terminate his contract with their company, she did not try to persuade him to stay. At the same time the termination was finalized, the recording of Kong Liang's previous framing of Song Yang was exposed online. Although Su Xiaotang tried to contact Kong Liang to halt his resignation, it was too late.

Blaming Song Yang for his downfall, Kong Liang drove his car into Song Yang's car in the parking lot. Song Yang decided to call the police to handle Kong Liang's actions.

In the snowy park, Song Yang recited the poem that Ding Momo had once recited for him and walked towards her. Although Ding Momo still refused to forgive him in her words, she softened after seeing Song Yang continuously apologize, and finally, the two of them kissed in the university.
