Yi Han quickly led Pei Youyou away, while Ran Zishu's assistant covered Ran Zishu's mouth and pulled her along. Yi Han chastised Pei Youyou, asking if she couldn't tell Ran Zishu was bullying her and to consider his public image. Pei Youyou admitted Ran Zishu was indeed bullying her, but she felt she was partly to blame for standing Ran Zishu up earlier, adding that doing nail repair was her profession and she didn't feel humiliated by it.
Yi Han disagreed, stating he didn't feel good about the situation and questioned if Pei Youyou thought he felt bad for her or if his conscience was bothering him. He then emphasized that Pei Youyou should consider his public image and hurry to her interview. Pei Youyou calmly replied that she would handle her own matters. Meanwhile, Ran Zishu's assistant warned her that Yi Han was acting like he would "devour somebody," attributing his irrational behavior to love.
The assistant stressed that Pei Youyou, despite still being a nail artist, was now "different" and should not be provoked. Just then, Ran Zishu spotted Lu Ming, who was at the location for an audition. Ran Zishu's heart fluttered as she was about to approach Lu Ming, but her excitement quickly turned to shock when he called out "Sister Youyou," revealing Pei Youyou was his sister.
Pei Youyou, upon seeing Ran Zishu, apologized for the delay caused by Yi Han and offered to get her nail repair kit, but Ran Zishu stated it was no longer necessary as she had already asked someone else. Pei Youyou then offered a free manicure the next day as a gesture for her mistake. Lu Ming initially didn't recognize Ran Zishu, but after she reminded him, he recalled her as the person whose passport he found at the hotel.
Ran Zishu then claimed to be best friends with Pei Youyou, who was momentarily surprised but quickly agreed when Ran Zishu discreetly mentioned purchasing forty membership cards. With the situation smoothed over, Lu Ming excused himself. After Pei Youyou and Lu Ming left, Ran Zishu immediately expressed her dismay to her assistant, realizing she had just mistreated her "future husband's sister," Lu Ming's sister.
She worried about future retaliation, fearing she would be subjected to endless chores like sweeping, doing laundry, and washing dishes. Her assistant, accustomed to Ran Zishu's dramatic pronouncements of love, was utterly speechless. Back at the nail salon, Pei Youyou was elated about securing forty membership cards from Ran Zishu, but her manager quickly reminded her of the critical task she had forgotten: inviting Yi Han to dinner.
The manager declared that if Pei Youyou failed to bring Yi Han to dinner by next Friday, she would not receive the commission for Ran Zishu's membership cards, emphasizing that her word was law. Throughout the day, Yi Han's stomach grumbled from hunger, yet he abruptly dismissed his driver. He was preoccupied with worries about Kan Di, who hadn't responded to his calls or messages, especially regarding Lu Ming's part-time work with Liu Tian'nuo.
His assistant's speculation about Kan Di preparing for a divorce and potentially dating further agitated him. Despite claiming not to be hungry, a tempting aroma greeted Yi Han as he entered his home. Pei Youyou, who was cooking, cheerfully urged him to wash his hands for dinner. She explained she had secured a job for Lu Ming on set and was cooking to thank Yi Han for his help.
Yi Han, however, suspected she was using his name to gain favors from Liu Tian'nuo and warned her against it, but Pei Youyou simply told him to wash his hands for dinner. Yi Han, intrigued by her sudden hospitality, wondered what she was up to. After dinner, during which Yi Han initially questioned if the food was poisoned but ultimately enjoyed it, Pei Youyou pressed him about attending dinner with her colleagues.
He resisted, accusing her of setting a trap, but Pei Youyou eventually coerced him by threatening to announce their breakup on Weibo. Yi Han reluctantly agreed, stating his intention to only make a brief appearance to fulfill their contract, then leave. At the restaurant, Pei Youyou introduced him to her manager and colleagues.
Despite his initial reluctance, Yi Han was persuaded to drink and then, pressured by her manager, agreed to become their nail salon's spokesperson and also to marry Pei Youyou. When Pei Youyou tried to leave, reminding him of his filming schedule, the manager insisted on going to karaoke. As everyone moved to the karaoke bar, Liu Tian'nuo called Pei Youyou, intending to bring her a photo album he bought, remembering her hobby.
Yi Han, noticing Pei Youyou's absence, worried his "wife" was lost and went to search for her, only to encounter Liu Tian'nuo at the entrance and pull him into the karaoke room to drink with them. Ran Zishu's assistant tried to arrange dinner with Lu Ming as a thank-you for finding her passport, but Lu Ming politely declined, stating he was content with his accommodation on set and happy to work with everyone there.
Determined, Ran Zishu moved into the same hotel. While searching for Lu Ming in the makeup room, she overheard crew members criticizing her acting skills, personal qualities, and past scandals, even blaming her for their makeup issues and costume mistakes due to her thick waist.
Lu Ming found her, and after he tried to smooth things over, Ran Zishu tearfully defended herself, recounting how she had given the makeup artist her own high-quality products after a bad reaction and diligently exercised and dieted to lose weight, running five kilometers daily and eating green vegetables for two weeks straight. She expressed her desire to be a good actress, relying only on herself.
Seeing her distress, Lu Ming comforted her and agreed to escort her to her room, 1817, revealing they were staying in the same hotel. Meanwhile, at the Karaoke, everyone engaged in a game to sober up, with Yi Han and Liu Tian'nuo displaying surprising synergy and winning multiple rounds.
Observing their natural rapport, Qingqing remarked to a colleague about the "good chemistry" between Yi Han and Liu Tian'nuo, contrasting it with the perceived lack of chemistry between Yi Han and Pei Youyou, who had been together for a long time. Pei Youyou managed to get the inebriated Yi Han back home.
As they sat looking at the stars, Yi Han, in his drunken state, began to lament about Kan Di, pleading for her not to leave and questioning why she didn't like him despite his perseverance. He expressed his confusion and pain over not being able to reach her for days, worrying she had moved on or was with someone else.
Pei Youyou comforted him by reiterating his own advice: if something feels right, keep persevering, and good results will follow; if it's not enough, it means it's not over yet, so keep persevering. When he doubted his ability to persevere, Pei Youyou shared her own difficult past, recalling her parents' divorce at age six, the loss of her grandmother soon after, and how her father forgot her birthdays after her stepmother joined the family.
She concluded by saying that despite these hardships, she grew up well and encouraged him to endure, watching over him as he finally fell asleep. The following morning, after remembering Pei Youyou's comforting words, Yi Han woke up. Pei Youyou, having already prepared kiwi juice for him, playfully teased him about his poor alcohol tolerance and how his drunken confessions made it "easier for her to earn money" from "hush money" for his secrets.
Yi Han, upon realizing he had confessed his feelings for Kan Di, asked how much money she wanted. Pei Youyou stated his total debt was ¥797,991. 04. Yi Han promptly transferred a large sum, forgiving most of her debt and leaving her with a remaining balance of just over ¥90,000.
Surprised by the generosity, Pei Youyou then offered her services to help him pursue Kan Di, to which Yi Han, after a moment of consideration, opened his bedroom door and asked how to do it.
