In Paris, France, Chinese haute couture bridal brand Ling Long prepared for its new season's fashion show. This event was not merely a display of garments but a fierce battle for a prestigious commission with rival Chinese fashion brand D. U. to enter Fontaine Department Store, signifying entry into the international top-tier market. Backstage, Ling Long's Design Director, Li Weiwei, meticulously oversaw final preparations, ensuring every detail captured the brand's essence.

When an assistant reported that Model 24's veil was missing, left behind at a hotel over 20 kilometers away, panic ensued. Li Weiwei, known for her demanding nature, took a pair of scissors and skillfully improvised a stunning veil from the bridal gown itself, creating an asymmetrical and aesthetically pleasing design. She immediately dismissed the assistant responsible for the mishap, earning her the nickname "She-Devil" among her staff. Meanwhile, Chen Yidu, Chairman of D. U.

, arrived at Ling Long's show, attracting a swarm of reporters eager to hear his predictions for the competition. He remained tight-lipped. Backstage, Li Weiwei intently watched the judges' expressions on a monitor. Ling Long's General Manager, Huo Xiao, tried to calm her, downplaying the significance as merely a department store contract. Li Weiwei firmly disagreed, asserting that the outcome would determine which brand, Ling Long or D. U.

, would be the first to enter the European market and become a leading international brand. She emphatically declared, "I will surely not lose to Chen Yidu." A critical emergency arose when the main model sprained her ankle and couldn't walk, with no time to find a replacement. In a desperate move, Li Weiwei decided to take the stage herself, presenting her own design. The show was a resounding success.

Later, when asked about Li Weiwei's designs, Chen Yidu acknowledged her skill but stated he never advocated for "flashy and superficial designs which are void of emotions." This comment piqued reporters' interest, who then questioned Li Weiwei about rumors of her being unkind and having a barren love life, asking for special reasons. Seizing the moment, Li Weiwei announced that the Ling Long collection not only showcased her designs but also marked a significant moment in her romantic life.

Huo Xiao appeared on stage, and Li Weiwei, taking out a diamond ring, publicly proposed to him, asking him to let her be the woman of his life. Huo Xiao accepted. Li Weiwei then announced their wedding would take place the following morning at Sacré-Coeur and invited everyone to attend. Ms. Gedia, President of Fontaine Department Store, expressed her excitement at witnessing the proposal but stated that such an emotional moment was not conducive to making important decisions.

She found both Ling Long and D. U.' s works excellent, making it difficult to choose, and thus decided to hold an additional contest in three days. Privately, Huo Xiao questioned Li Weiwei's seriousness about the wedding. Li Weiwei explained her pragmatic reasons: she was of age, had no one else to marry besides him, and marrying him would avoid mutual suspicion while solidifying their partnership, serving both personal and professional interests.

Although Huo Xiao clearly knew her decision lacked romantic love, he expressed his willingness to accept everything. Meanwhile, a mysterious person secretly offered Ms. Gedia substantial benefits to select Ling Long as the winner, abandoning D. U. , a proposition Gedia recognized as a request to cheat. Chen Yidu, contemplating a ring in his hand, was informed by Tiffany, a D. U. designer, about checking the final competition's attire. Chen Yidu stated he had other plans.

Tiffany, suspecting he intended to attend Li Weiwei's wedding, warned him that disrupting it would be undignified for D. U.' s chairman. Chen Yidu grew angry, telling her she was speaking too much. The mysterious person's bribery of Gedia was secretly filmed by a former Fontaine Department Store employee, who then blackmailed the mysterious person for the video on a USB drive.

After paying, the mysterious person accidentally collided with Li Weiwei, who was on her way to the wedding, causing him to lose the USB drive unnoticed. To prevent the video from surfacing, he set Ling Long's showroom backstage on fire. During her wedding ceremony, Li Weiwei received a phone call informing her of the fire. Distraught, she abandoned the ceremony, discarding her wedding ring, and rushed to the show venue.

Witnessing the devastation, her work burned to ashes, she was heartbroken. Huo Xiao then handed her a USB drive. Later, thugs, presumably sent by the mysterious person to retrieve the USB, ambushed Li Weiwei on the street. During the struggle, she fell into a river. Two months later, Li Weiwei awoke from a coma in a Shanghai hospital.

Doctors diagnosed her with brain damage, resulting in the loss of seven years of her memory, leaving her believing it was still 2008 and requesting to attend the Beijing Olympics. With no medical cure, doctors advised Huo Xiao to help her recover by recounting the events of the past seven years. Upon returning home from the hospital, Li Weiwei was astonished by a house full of designer shoes, clothes, and bags, feeling as if she were in a dream.

She pressed Huo Xiao to explain how they had become so wealthy. Huo Xiao revealed that five years prior, they had founded Ling Long, which had become a highly successful international top design brand, and that they were now engaged.

Two months after her accident, Li Weiwei finally awoke in a Shanghai hospital. Still disoriented, she believed it was 2008 and insisted that Huo Xiao take her to the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, unaware of the seven years that had passed. A doctor explained to Huo Xiao that Li Weiwei had suffered brain damage, resulting in retrograde amnesia where she had forgotten the last seven years.

While there was no specific cure, the doctor suggested recounting past events might help her memory return. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao had privately hired a detective agency in Paris to investigate the showroom's fire and Designer Li's robbery, as he did not believe the Paris police's conclusion that they were mere accidents unrelated to Chen Yidu. Upon returning home, Li Weiwei was stunned by her luxurious surroundings and abundance of designer items, initially thinking she was dreaming.

Huo Xiao explained that five years prior, they had founded Ling Long together, and she had since become a top international fashion designer. He also revealed they were engaged. Li Weiwei struggled to accept their engagement. She couldn't imagine marrying Huo Xiao, whom she recalled as her childhood friend with "snot coming out of his nose." She even apologized profusely to Huo Xiao on behalf of her 30-year-old self, condemning herself for potentially "harming" him out of desperation to marry.

She then suddenly remembered to call her father, unaware he had passed away years ago. Huo Xiao tried to stop her, but Li Weiwei had already dialed. Fortunately, the call was redirected to her father's voicemail, temporarily concealing the painful truth. During Li Weiwei's coma, Ling Long's business had suffered significantly. D. U. had surpassed them by 12% in sales and poached several key design talents, including Su Fei, George, and Old Wan.

Huo Xiao, prioritizing Li Weiwei's recovery, had instructed Secretary Ou to keep the company's precarious situation from her. However, Li Weiwei, suspecting something was amiss, feigned memory recovery to trick Secretary Ou into confessing the company's troubles. Learning the truth, Li Weiwei immediately decided to confront Chen Yidu and reclaim her former employees. Her first attempt at D. U. was unsuccessful; she couldn't even get past security to reach her designers.

Huo Xiao arrived and found Li Weiwei outside, explaining that her past "demon Li Weiwei" work style meant her former employees likely harbored resentment towards her. The company's struggles fueled Huo Xiao's Second Uncle, Huo Ruiyong, to attempt a takeover during a board meeting. He highlighted Ling Long's declining sales and employee attrition to argue for Huo Xiao's resignation. Li Weiwei, making a dramatic entrance, declared she would rectify the situation.

The chairman then challenged Li Weiwei to reclaim the designers from D. U. within five days. Determined, Li Weiwei wore a dress designed by Su Fei and returned to D. U. There, she found Su Fei, George, and Old Wan doing menial tasks like stringing beads, which made her realize they were not thriving. She urged them to return to Ling Long, criticizing D. U. for underutilizing their talents.

However, Chen Yidu intervened, reminding them of their contracts and threatening to call the police, accusing Li Weiwei of attempting to steal trade secrets. Undeterred, Li Weiwei later learned Chen Yidu was scheduled to meet with Master Lin and his fiancée to discuss wedding gown designs. She ingeniously trapped D. U. designer Tiffany in a hotel restroom and impersonated D. U.' s chief designer for the meeting.

Li Weiwei's innovative design concepts greatly impressed Master Lin's fiancée, and Chen Yidu, recognizing the potential for a lucrative deal, reluctantly allowed her to continue. Li Weiwei used this opportunity to demand the return of her former employees as compensation for her assistance. Chen Yidu noticed a significant change in her demeanor, finding her different from the "demon Li Weiwei" he once knew. Ultimately, the designers' release was also facilitated by Huo Xiao, who had strategically bought out D. U.'

s scarce fabric supply to gain leverage over Chen Yidu. Huo Xiao grew increasingly uneasy about Li Weiwei's renewed interactions with Chen Yidu. Fearing that her amnesia made her vulnerable to repeating past mistakes, he instructed Secretary Ou to keep her away from Chen Yidu. Meanwhile, Li Weiwei, who had a habit of updating her father nightly, continued to send messages to his old phone, which Huo Xiao had kept.

He secretly replied to her texts, offering words of encouragement in her father's stead. With the designers back at Ling Long, their loyalty solidified by Li Weiwei's efforts, they enthusiastically began working on the next season's collection, determined to surpass D. U.' s performance. The designers observed a change in Li Weiwei's leadership style; instead of her usual harsh criticism, she now offered praise and smiles, which surprisingly left them feeling even more anxious.

Huo Ruiyong, who had hoped to capitalize on Li Weiwei's illness, found her even more formidable and unpredictable upon her return. Li Weiwei's amnesia had also altered her daily habits, including a newfound dependence on sweets to fuel her designs, leading to humorous skirmishes with Huo Xiao over her hidden stash of chocolates and cocktails.

After her amnesia, Li Weiwei's design skills significantly deteriorated, a fact that troubled Huo Xiao. Li Weiwei, however, was unfazed, acknowledging her "short-circuited" brain and finding it challenging to maintain her "demon queen" persona while being expected to produce designs of the high caliber she had achieved seven years later.

She proposed publicly announcing her amnesia, but Huo Xiao reminded her that Ling Long, a major company, would not hire a new college graduate as chief designer, nor would their established clientele follow a novice. Earlier, a confrontation unfolded at D. U. as several Ling Long employees had been poached by D. U. Li Weiwei, upon seeing them perform low-level "threading beads" work, attempted to retrieve them.

Chen Yidu appeared and ordered the police to be called, accusing Ling Long personnel of disguising themselves and infiltrating D. U. to steal confidential files, which infuriated Li Weiwei. Determined to get the employees back, Li Weiwei learned Chen Yidu was to meet renowned pianist Master Lin and his fiancée, crucial potential clients for D. U. She then orchestrated a plan to lock Tiffany in the hotel bathroom.

Inside the meeting, Li Weiwei, having taken Tiffany's place, addressed the Lin couple. Chen Yidu, unable to expose her deception in front of the clients, was forced to play along. Li Weiwei quickly impressed Mr. and Mrs. Lin with her insights, effectively helping D. U. close the deal. Mr. Lin, pleased with Li Weiwei's vision, agreed to formally sign a contract and pay the deposit. With the deal secured for D. U.

, Li Weiwei seized the opportunity to demand the return of Ling Long's old employees as recompense for her assistance. Chen Yidu, after a moment of consideration, agreed to release the employees, remarking on Li Weiwei's sudden change, finding her both familiar and profoundly different. Back at Ling Long, Li Weiwei celebrated saving the employees and defeating "the big demon Chen Yidu." Huo Xiao, however, clarified that Chen Yidu had not been outwitted by her "little tricks."

He revealed that he had secretly acquired D. U.' s critically scarce fabric, using this leverage to force Chen Yidu to release their employees. Later, Huo Xiao expressed his deep concern about Li Weiwei's renewed contact with Chen Yidu. He lamented that her amnesia had erased her memory of her painful past with Chen Yidu and her journey to becoming a celebrated designer. Fearing a repeat of history, he urged Ou Ye to keep Li Weiwei away from Chen Yidu.

Li Weiwei continued her habit of calling her deceased father; unbeknownst to her, Huo Xiao had been keeping her father's phone and would respond to her messages in his persona, offering encouragement. The returning Ling Long employees, grateful for Li Weiwei's help, pledged their loyalty. She then rallied them to prepare for the next season's press conference, aiming to boost sales and "defeat D. U."

The designers found Li Weiwei's new, gentler demeanor—her praises and smiles—more unsettling than her old "demon queen" scolding, questioning if it was a new tactic or an aftereffect of her illness. Mr. Yong, Huo Xiao's uncle, saw Li Weiwei's rumored "problems" as an opportunity to seize power. However, his attempts to gauge her condition only led him to conclude she was even more eccentric than before.

Li Weiwei's amnesia also brought about new habits; she now found herself unable to draw designs without consuming sweets. She began stashing chocolates and cocktails in her office, leading to playful skirmishes with Huo Xiao as he tried to confiscate them. Li Weiwei conceded that her brain was "short-circuited" and reiterated her frustration with designing. She once again proposed announcing her amnesia, but Huo Xiao firmly dismissed the idea, outlining the severe repercussions for Ling Long.

Feeling trapped and "depressed," Li Weiwei asked to change her design environment to seek inspiration. Meanwhile, Chen Yidu was celebrating company executives' birthdays at a KTV. Li Weiwei, having gone to a KTV herself to find inspiration, became heavily intoxicated and stumbled out of the restroom, mistakenly entering Chen Yidu's private room. She mistook his group for Huo Xiao's friends and began singing and dancing wildly.

Chen Yidu, observing her unusual behavior and endless antics, eventually pulled her out, hailed a taxi, and took her to a hotel, where he opened a room for her. Watching the sleeping Li Weiwei, he felt a wave of nostalgia, as if they were dating again. Just as Chen Yidu was about to kiss her, Li Weiwei woke up.

In her hazy state, she mistook him for Huo Xiao, repeatedly telling him not to be silly, as they were "best friends" and couldn't possibly get married. Chen Yidu secretly recorded all of Li Weiwei's drunken confessions on his phone. The next morning, Li Weiwei awoke in a hotel room wearing a bathrobe, with no memory of the previous night. Upon discovering that the room was booked under Chen Yidu's ID, she furiously confronted him at D. U.

, accusing him of taking advantage of her while she was drunk. Chen Yidu responded by playing a video on his phone, revealing her embarrassing drunken antics, which mortified Li Weiwei into a hasty retreat. After her design environment change didn't immediately yield results, Ling Long's new season's finale piece was due, but Li Weiwei's mind remained blank.

Overwhelmed, she pushed the responsibility to Huo Xiao, who secretly instructed his secretary Ou Ye to select a suitable draft from other designers' works to use as a placeholder. Yin Lei, a design assistant planted by D. U. within Ling Long, discovered this secret and promptly informed Tiffany of the impending plagiarism scandal. However, Li Weiwei unexpectedly completed the design in her sleep. She woke up shouting with joy, only to realize it was a dream.

She quickly sketched the design from memory and handed it to Old Wan for sampling, thus creating her grand finale piece, titled "Initial Heart" (初心), based on a dream. Tiffany invited Chen Yidu to Ling Long's new product launch, clearly intent on witnessing Ling Long's downfall. At the launch, attended by various fashion elites, news quickly spread online that the "Queen of Wedding Dresses'" (referring to Li Weiwei) finale piece was pure plagiarism.

As everyone watched, expecting Li Weiwei's disgrace, Chen Yidu appeared pensive. Li Weiwei presented her season's theme, "Back to the Past," and introduced her finale piece, "Initial Heart," urging everyone to remember their original aspirations. Reporters immediately pressed her on the plagiarism allegations, questioning if this was a recurring issue. Facing a barrage of criticism, Huo Xiao stepped onto the stage to clarify that the finale piece was entirely original.

He explained that the plagiarism rumors arose because Ling Long, to expand its product range, had acquired some works from overseas designers, which was then exploited by "old friends with ulterior motives." Meanwhile, in Chen Yidu's room, a wedding dress design titled "Initial Heart," signed "Chen Yidu & Li Weiwei," hung prominently.

Chen Yidu reminisced about their time co-creating the design, recalling how Li Weiwei had refused to sell their shared intellectual property, hoping instead to wear that very gown on her wedding day when she married him. Later, Huo Xiao effortlessly uncovered that the online leaker was design assistant Yin Lei and that Tiffany was the mastermind behind the scheme.

Li Weiwei awoke, hazy from drink, and mistook the person beside her for Huo Xiao. She questioned why he was being silly, insisting they were just best friends and couldn't possibly get married. Chen Yidu had recorded her drunken declarations on his phone. The following morning, Li Weiwei woke up in a hotel room wearing a bathrobe, with no memory of the previous night.

After hotel staff informed her that Chen Yidu had booked the room, she believed he had taken advantage of her. She immediately stormed into D. U. Corporation, accusing Chen Yidu of being a wolf in sheep's clothing who took advantage of her while she was drunk. Chen Yidu, in response, showed her a video on his phone, revealing her drunken antics from the night before. Seeing her embarrassing behavior, she quickly retreated in shame.

Back at Ling Long, Li Weiwei confessed to Huo Xiao about her struggle to come up with new designs due to her amnesia. She then playfully pushed the burden onto Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao secretly instructed his secretary, Ouye, to find a suitable design from another designer to pass off as Li Weiwei's. However, Li Weiwei later completed a design in her dream.

Although it was just a dream, she quickly drew the design from memory and gave the draft to Lao Wan for sampling. This is how Li Weiwei created her final showpiece design, "Beginner's Mind," from a dream. Ling Long’s internal investigation soon revealed that designer assistant Yin Lei was responsible for leaking the news about the plagiarism. It was also discovered that Tiffany of D. U. Corporation was the mastermind behind the leak.

This crisis left Chen Yidu besieged by reporters, who accused him of unethical business practices. Just as he struggled to respond, Mo Fan, a renowned investor recently returned from Wall Street and a long-time friend of Chen Yidu, arrived. Mo Fan skillfully diverted the reporters, stating his intention to invest in suitable companies and expressing significant interest in D. U. , despite the recent negative publicity.

Later, Chen Yidu shared the truth about the plagiarism with Mo Fan, explaining that Li Weiwei's design, "Beginner's Mind," was a collaborative work they created together and she did not have independent rights to use it commercially. Mo Fan questioned whether protecting Li Weiwei was worth potentially ruining D. U.’ s reputation, especially given their past falling out. Mo Fan suggested that the upcoming press conference would be an opportune moment for Chen Yidu to reveal the truth.

Separately, Tiffany admitted to Chen Yidu that she orchestrated Yin Lei to gather damaging information on Li Weiwei and leak it to the media. She offered to hold a press conference the following morning to take full responsibility, assuring him she would not implicate him or D. U. Chen Yidu found himself in a dilemma, unwilling to damage D. U.' s reputation but also reluctant to destroy Li Weiwei's career.

He confronted Li Weiwei at Ling Long, demanding to know why she had used "Beginner's Mind" for commercial gain, reminding her it was a design they had created together, meant only for them. Still suffering from amnesia, Li Weiwei was confused and had no idea what he was talking about, as "Beginner's Mind" to her was merely a creation from a dream. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Li Weiwei then confronted Huo Xiao, who hesitantly confirmed their past collaboration.

Overwhelmed by the realization that she had plagiarized Chen Yidu's work and had previously cursed him, she immediately sought to apologize to Chen Yidu. Chen Yidu, however, looked at her as if she were an alien and, after questioning why she hadn't mentioned her amnesia, coldly shut the door on her sincere apology. Determined to make amends, Li Weiwei spent the entire night outside Chen Yidu's car, eventually falling ill with a fever.

The following morning, Chen Yidu discovered the feverish Li Weiwei. Despite her weakened state, Li Weiwei was resolute in her decision to personally attend the press conference and bravely confess her act of plagiarism. At the scheduled press conference, when reporters surrounded Li Weiwei after learning the truth, Chen Yidu appeared. He announced to the reporters that the entire "plagiarism" incident was, in fact, a pre-planned promotional stunt jointly orchestrated by Ling Long and D. U.

to unveil their upcoming collaboration. He explained that "Beginner's Mind" was indeed a collaborative work between him and Li Weiwei from five years ago, and this event served as an opportunity to launch their second collaboration, with the next season's new collection to be jointly released by D. U. and Ling Long. His intervention effectively saved Li Weiwei’s career and reputation. Following this dramatic turn of events, Li Weiwei was assigned to work at D. U.

Group as part of the collaboration. At home, she diligently researched D. U. Group's personnel relationships, discovering that Tiffany's real name was Tian Jinfeng, and that Tiffany had unrequited feelings for Chen Yidu for many years and was still single. Li Weiwei laughed, proclaiming that she wouldn't want the expressionless Chen Yidu even if he were given to her for free. On her first day at D. U.

, Li Weiwei was assigned cleaning duties, and Tiffany deliberately tried to prank her. Unfazed, Li Weiwei retaliated by loudly calling Tiffany by her birth name, Tian Jinfeng, throughout the office. Chen Yidu's secretary found Li Weiwei to be different from before, but Chen Yidu remarked that she was still as vindictive as ever.

Prior to this, a scandal had erupted, accusing Li Weiwei and Ling Long of plagiarism. Tiffany had taken responsibility, planning to confess at a press conference. However, Chen Yidu's friend, Mo Fan, intervened, warning Chen Yidu that allowing Li Weiwei to be completely ruined, despite her past actions, would also damage D. U.' s reputation and his standing with shareholders.

Mo Fan reminded Chen Yidu that business demands clear financial results and that personal feelings should not interfere with his responsibilities as chairman. A flashback revealed Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu's past, where they collaborated on a design called "Beginner's Mind." Li Weiwei, then deeply in love, expressed her wish for the design to remain exclusively theirs, to be worn on their wedding day, a promise Chen Yidu had made.

Li Weiwei, suffering from amnesia, had unknowingly displayed this design, causing the controversy. Ultimately, Chen Yidu publicly declared the plagiarism accusation a marketing stunt for a new collaboration between D. U. and Ling Long, unveiling "Beginner's Mind" as their joint five-year-old creation and announcing plans for future joint collections. Following this dramatic reveal, Huo Xiao drove a visibly exhausted Li Weiwei home from work. Later that night, as Li Weiwei slept, she dreamt of exacting revenge on Chen Yidu.

The dream was abruptly interrupted when Chen Yidu called her at 11:30 PM, ordering her to return to D. U. to locate a missing design department schedule. Li Weiwei was furious at his audacity and the late hour. When she arrived at the company, Chen Yidu casually informed her that the files had already been found and dismissed her. Li Weiwei was extremely frustrated.

Huo Xiao then took Li Weiwei to a place where all the dolls that served as models for her childhood creations were kept. Li Weiwei's childhood dream was to become a top fashion designer, and Huo Xiao had spent all the money his mother gave him for tutoring on these dolls for her. Meanwhile, at Ling Long, Huo Ruiyong and his secretary, Zhu, discussed their strategy concerning Li Weiwei's collaboration with D. U.

They planned to use the outcome, whether success or failure, to either accuse her of disloyalty or of bringing shame to the company. Before starting her work at D. U. , Li Weiwei researched D. U.' s personnel. She discovered that Tiffany's birth name was Tian Jinfeng, a name she found rather rustic, and that Tiffany had secretly loved Chen Yidu for years without success and was still single.

Li Weiwei laughed, declaring she wouldn't want Chen Yidu even if he were given to her for free. Li Weiwei soon began her collaborative work at D. U. On her first day, she was assigned cleaning tasks, and Tiffany deliberately played tricks on her. Li Weiwei soon found a way to retaliate against Tiffany. She loudly and repeatedly called Tiffany by her birth name, Tian Jinfeng, across the office. Tiffany, mortified by the "classless" display, angrily told her to stop.

Li Weiwei feigned innocence, claiming she was merely collecting a delivery for "Jinfeng," and continued to call out the name, even "warning" Tiffany about a slippery floor as Tiffany struggled with a heavy box. Chen Yidu's secretary remarked to Chen Yidu that Li Weiwei seemed different, but Chen Yidu scoffed, saying she still possessed her characteristic vengeful nature. On a visit to a D. U.

store, Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei were shown a wedding dress that had remained unsold for three years. Li Weiwei quickly pointed out its flaws: an overly complex waist design that made brides appear bloated, and the unsuitable polyester fabric that was uncomfortable in both hot and cold weather. Tiffany, feeling defensive, jabbed at Li Weiwei, accusing her of plagiarism and claiming she was better than someone who couldn't design anything.

Chen Yidu intervened, challenging Li Weiwei to sell the unsellable dress within three days. Unable to sell the outdated design, Li Weiwei boldly modified it. The altered wedding dress became an instant sensation, with numerous socialites clamoring to buy it. Tiffany was enraged, confronting Li Weiwei and asserting that a designer's work was like their child and should not be arbitrarily changed. Editor He, a fashion magazine editor who was still skeptical about the D. U.

-Ling Long collaboration, had invited Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei to her upcoming birthday celebration, intending to test the sincerity of their collaboration. Chen Yidu then instructed Li Weiwei to arrange a gift for Editor He. Due to her amnesia, Li Weiwei had no recollection of Editor He and suggested a birthday cake. Chen Yidu reminded her that Editor He was lactose intolerant.

Li Weiwei secretly messaged Huo Xiao via WeChat for help, who quickly informed her that Editor He's preferred gift was Bordeaux Lang Wen red wine. Li Weiwei promptly arranged for the wine. Editor He, surprised and pleased with the thoughtful gift, later invited them both to an industry party hosted by her magazine, an invitation Chen Yidu accepted. Chen Yidu then presented Li Weiwei with a sexy dress, telling her to wear it to the party.

Huo Xiao, aware of Li Weiwei's past, mentioned that she used to avoid such events because she couldn't dance. At the industry party, Li Weiwei appeared in the dress Chen Yidu had chosen. As Chen Yidu extended his hand to greet her, Li Weiwei pushed it aside, her eyes fixed on Andrew, a handsome man standing behind Chen Yidu.

She excitedly asked if he was Andrew, and upon confirmation, she joyfully insisted on taking a photo with him, completely disregarding Chen Yidu. Enraged, Chen Yidu grabbed Li Weiwei, asking if she had "never seen a man in her life." Li Weiwei coolly replied that she had "never seen such a handsome man." Chen Yidu then deliberately invited Li Weiwei to dance, attempting to embarrass her.

However, Huo Xiao, who had arrived at the party out of concern for Li Weiwei, intervened and skillfully helped her out of the awkward situation. Later, Chen Yidu assigned Li Weiwei the crucial task of inviting Andrew, a top domestic male model, for D. U.' s upcoming wedding dress photoshoot, believing his image perfectly aligned with the company's brand.

Li Weiwei presents a condition to Chen Yidu: if she successfully invites Andrew to model for D. U. , he must allow her to return to Ling Long. Chen Yidu readily agrees, but warns her not to waste time and to go immediately to places where Andrew might appear. As many people gather in a hotel lobby, eagerly anticipating Andrew's arrival, a stylish motorcycle suddenly rides into the lobby.

A striking, untamed young man dismounts, and someone exclaims, "Isn't that Leo?" The crowd's attention instantly shifts from Andrew. Andrew's assistant notes that this is Leo, the supermodel ranked third internationally and first in Asia, but wonders why he has suddenly returned after developing his career in New York for the past two years. Li Weiwei, however, remains focused on her task. She persists in trying to get Andrew to look at D. U.'

s proposal, hoping he will agree to model for their bridal gown photoshoot. Andrew, already in a bad mood due to Leo stealing his spotlight, angrily throws the proposal to the floor. Leo, ignoring his numerous fans, steps forward to help Li Weiwei pick up the proposal, giving her a playful flying kiss. Reporters later interview Leo about his return to the country.

He states he came back for "the most important person" but keeps the identity a secret until he has their permission, refusing to confirm if it is his girlfriend. Mo Fan observes Chen Yidu's fluctuating emotions because of Li Weiwei. He advises Chen Yidu to let her return to Ling Long, calling her a "time bomb" for D. U. and reminding him of past hurts. Chen Yidu confidently states he will not make the same mistake twice.

He then invites Mo Fan to join D. U. so he can return to being a designer, but Mo Fan declines, expressing satisfaction with his current job. Li Weiwei decides to change her strategy. She deliberately ignores Andrew, instead claiming that Leo has approached D. U. expressing interest in modeling for their next season's bridal gown photoshoot. Fearing he might miss out on an opportunity, Andrew finally agrees to D. U.' s invitation.

Leo shows particular enthusiasm for Li Weiwei, consistently appearing when she needs help and openly expressing his affection and longing for her. He invites her to his hotel for a private conversation, but Li Weiwei appears not to recognize him at all. Li Weiwei believes that successfully inviting Andrew completes her work assignment at D. U. However, Chen Yidu has no intention of letting her off so easily.

He informs her that the photoshoot is not yet complete, meaning her work is still unfinished. He then retrieves a pile of shredded documents from a paper shredder and instructs Li Weiwei to reassemble them as quickly as possible. Driven by curiosity, Li Weiwei decides to go to the hotel to understand Leo's identity. Leo is overjoyed by her presence, asking if she is happy that he returned for her.

He confesses that since she first held his hand five years ago, he decided he wanted to treat her well. While Leo is in the bathroom, Li Weiwei discreetly checks his passport, discovering he is only twenty-two years old. This revelation startles her, as it means he would have been only seventeen five years ago. Li Weiwei is horrified, wondering what kind of "demon of temptation" she is to have supposedly entangled herself with a minor.

Frightened by her own thoughts, she leaves the room. During the photoshoot, Andrew exhibits diva behavior and is consequently beaten black and blue by Li Weiwei. The photoshoot is consequently halted. Leo steps in to offer his services as a replacement, but only on the condition that Li Weiwei is his co-model. Li Weiwei, dressed in a wedding gown, captivates not only Leo but also a visibly jealous Chen Yidu.

Chen Yidu sternly warns her that she was hired to work for D. U. , not to damage the company's image by flirting at work. Li Weiwei finds his accusation baffling, unaware of the depth of his jealousy towards Leo. Later, the company's copier is supposedly "under maintenance." Chen Yidu informs the staff that they have a "human copier" who never needs maintenance, and all their documents are piled onto Li Weiwei's desk.

Li Weiwei realizes Chen Yidu deliberately sabotaged the copier. Determined to get even, she retaliates by filling his food with excessive mustard, causing Chen Yidu to react with a mix of laughter and tears.

Li Weiwei, frustrated by her forced administrative duties at D. U. , complained to Huo Xiao over the phone that Chen Yidu was ruining her hands meant for fashion design by making her copy documents. Huo Xiao, concerned for her, offered to leverage his company's shares in Canmei Emporium—a contract Chen Yidu desperately sought—to negotiate her release back to Ling Long. However, Li Weiwei adamantly refused, declaring her intention to remain at D. U.

as a persistent nuisance, vowing to be a thorn in his side and curse him daily. Tiffany learned that Hui Huang Entertainment, China's No. 1 entertainment company, was looking for a gown company to collaborate with. She assigned this arduous task to Li Weiwei, claiming that Chen Yidu had personally arranged the work. Under this impression, Li Weiwei accepted. When Chen Yidu discovered Tiffany had sent Li Weiwei to meet Manager Liu, he was enraged.

He furiously confronted Tiffany, revealing Manager Liu's true character as a notorious playboy and expressing his intention to handle that critical deal personally, which was now completely messed up by her actions. Worried about Li Weiwei's safety, Chen Yidu immediately drove off to Manager Liu's villa. His car, however, ran out of gas en route. Helpless, he abandoned his dignified image and hitched a ride on a tractor to reach Manager Liu's house.

At Manager Liu's villa, Li Weiwei found herself in an uncomfortable position. Manager Liu "lasciviously" insisted on them deepening their mutual understanding. Li Weiwei was flustered and unsure how to escape his clutches, secretly vowing to make Chen Yidu and Tiffany pay if she managed to get away. After she modeled several gowns, which Manager Liu critiqued for being "too tight, too rustic," and noted her figure was good but "not wild enough," he suggested they do yoga together.

Panicked and fearing his predatory intentions, Li Weiwei's heart sank as she contemplated whether to submit or resist. Suddenly, Chen Yidu burst into the villa, narrowly avoiding being struck on the head by a large vase wielded by a startled Li Weiwei. He furiously scolded her, calling her a "crazy woman" and remarking on his rushed efforts to save her. Hearing the commotion, Manager Liu, still covered in shower foam, came downstairs to investigate.

Thinking quickly, Chen Yidu claimed to be Li Weiwei's boyfriend, stating he was there to check on her progress with the important business deal. Manager Liu, in good spirits, invited Chen Yidu to stay and join them for drinks after he finished showering. Li Weiwei attempted to pull Chen Yidu away to make a discreet exit, but Chen Yidu insisted they remain and try to secure the contract first.

As the evening progressed, Chen Yidu observed Manager Liu more closely during their conversation, realizing that the man was a genuine romantic, passionate but not promiscuous, quite unlike the notorious womanizer he was rumored to be. Manager Liu, for his part, remarked that as soon as he saw them, he knew Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei were true destined partners, despite their bumpy, love-hate dynamic.

Li Weiwei, however, had a very low tolerance for alcohol and quickly became completely intoxicated after just one glass of wine. With her incapacitated, Chen Yidu had no choice but to spend the night with her in Manager Liu's guest room. Meanwhile, Li Weiwei's failure to return after talking business all night made Huo Xiao extremely anxious. Leo also kept pressing Tiffany for information about Weiwei's whereabouts.

The next morning, having sobered up, Li Weiwei devised a strategy to win over Manager Liu: she decided to design a gown that Manager Liu's wife would like, believing that his wife's approval would naturally secure the deal. As she sat alone sketching in the villa's garden, Chen Yidu, for a moment, forgot their strained relationship and approached her. He stepped forward and gently took her hand, guiding her lines on the design paper, as if they had never separated.

Chen Yidu then suggested that a mere design sketch lacked the necessary sincerity. They decided to improvise, using the room's curtains as material to craft the gown, intending it as a special wedding anniversary gift for Manager Liu and his wife. Their combined efforts, filled with love and tacit understanding, allowed them to successfully complete the exquisite gown, ultimately securing the coveted order.

Just as they were celebrating their hard-won success, their moment was interrupted by the arrivals of Huo Xiao and Leo, who appeared one after another. Both vehemently declared themselves Li Weiwei's boyfriend, much to the utter shock and bewilderment of Manager Liu and his wife.

After the chaotic scene involving three men claiming to be Li Weiwei’s boyfriend, Manager Liu privately told Chen Yidu that he believed Chen Yidu was Li Weiwei’s true boyfriend. He explained that this conclusion wasn’t based on Chen Yidu's words but on the undeniable chemistry he observed between Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei, asserting his accuracy in judging people. Li Weiwei returned home to a surprise, shrieking when Leo emerged shirtless from her bathroom after showering.

She demanded to know how he had a key to her place, to which Leo innocently replied that she had given it to him. Li Weiwei then mused to herself, reflecting on her mysterious nature and wondering when she had become involved with Leo. Chen Yidu confided in Mo Fan, noting that Li Weiwei had changed, becoming more like the woman he first met.

Mo Fan, observing Chen Yidu's pensive mood, deduced that he was once again smitten with Li Weiwei, sarcastically calling it a "second blossoming" of love. Mo Fan warned Chen Yidu that Li Weiwei was a cunning woman and suggested her recent changes might be a calculated ploy to manipulate him again, reminding Chen Yidu of her past actions that had repeatedly harmed him in business and even affected his mother.

Afterward, Li Weiwei returned to Linglong, though she didn't seem as happy as expected. She messaged her father on WeChat to confide her thoughts, unaware that Huo Xiao was listening to her message clearly through his phone. Later, Li Weiwei spoke with Huo Xiao, admitting that she found Chen Yidu less objectionable than she previously thought, particularly after his impromptu "rescue" at Manager Liu's residence.

Huo Xiao, however, urged her to remain cautious, warning that she might not realize it if she were hurt again. He then inquired about her relationship with Leo. Li Weiwei, instead of answering, asked him if he didn't know she had amnesia. At D. U. , the final wedding gown photoshoot images were delivered to Chen Yidu. His secretary praised the international supermodel Leo’s performance and noted how all the female staff were enamored with him.

She highlighted that the group photo of Leo and Li Weiwei was especially stunning and the photographer's favorite. Chen Yidu, however, dismissively threw that particular photo into a trash bin, instructing his secretary to proceed with creating promotional brochures using the remaining images. Huo Xiao noticed Li Weiwei seemed preoccupied after returning from D. U.

She explained her distraction stemmed from frustration with her father, who hadn't called her during his trip, only sending a few brief, unvoiced WeChat messages, making her feel neglected. She expressed concern for his safety, but Huo Xiao reassured her, suggesting her father was simply enjoying his travels too much to make calls. Li Weiwei visited a restaurant, attempting to order an omurice, only to be told the last one had been taken.

She discovered Chen Yidu was the customer who ordered it. Believing their rivalry was purely professional and having recently seen a more agreeable side of him, she familiarly approached his table and playfully attempted to share his meal. Chen Yidu, uncharacteristically cold, refused to yield any portion. He then expressed his desire for no further contact with her, hoping they would never interact again.

Li Weiwei happened to overhear Huo Xiao and Ou Ye discussing Ling Long’s declining sales, realizing that her amnesia had negatively impacted the company's performance due to uninspired designs. At the same time, she learned about the revival of the New Wave Fashion Design Competition, which had been dormant for a decade. The winner was promised a lucrative 100-million yuan contract from an e-commerce platform.

Seizing this opportunity to revitalize Ling Long, Li Weiwei requested Huo Xiao to allow her to participate in the competition, confident that winning the order would help Ling Long compete on par with D. U. The New Wave Fashion Design Competition officially began. The first round, "Rescue the Advisor," challenged twelve contestants to find and rescue one of six advisors. The choice of advisor was left entirely to fate. During the competition, Tiffany and Li Weiwei crossed paths again.

By chance, Tiffany rescued Leo, who was trapped in a steel helmet, while Li Weiwei rescued Chen Yidu from a coffin inside a church. The next task required the advisor and student to design an outfit based on the theme "Father."

The New Trend Fashion Design Competition began with its first challenge, "Save the Advisor." The contestants were tasked with finding one of six advisors. Li Weiwei found Chen Yidu trapped inside a coffin in a church. Their usual bickering ensued, with Chen Yidu initially refusing to be her mentor. He accused her of being a person solely focused on fame and personal interest, who acts without moral limits and uses any means necessary to achieve her goals.

Li Weiwei, however, retorted, claiming she was not that kind of person. Meanwhile, Tiffany successfully found Leo as her advisor. Soon after, the second task was announced: advisors and contestants were to collaborate on designing an outfit with the theme "Father." Chen Yidu then began guiding Li Weiwei on her design for the "Father" themed task.

He critiqued her technique for handling chest darts in menswear, explaining that using methods for women's clothing would result in an uneven front and ruin the garment's overall effect. Tiffany, passing by, witnessed their harmonious discussion and felt a pang of jealousy. Later, Tiffany prevented Leo from reviewing her competition entry, stating she would handle the competition alone and didn't need his input.

She revealed that she knew about his unusual relationship with Li Weiwei and did not want to lose to Li Weiwei in the competition. Back at Ling Long, Kang Xing, the newly appointed Marketing Department Manager, came to the service desk to inquire about a package for his department. He noticed a package from France addressed to Secretary Ou, and his expression became unnatural.

Soon after, Ou Ye received the package, which contained surveillance video footage from outside the Paris showroom related to a fire incident. Huo Xiao, upon learning of its contents, promptly instructed Ou Ye to insert the USB drive into a computer. The footage clearly showed Chen Yidu's presence at the scene. For the "Father" themed design, Li Weiwei created a comfortable, casual outfit made of Tencel fabric, drawing inspiration from her own father's preference for such attire.

Her design was innovative, allowing the garment to transform into a backpack, convenient for activities like walking, practicing Tai Chi, or carrying groceries. Her concept earned unanimous approval from the judges. During the competition, a pre-recorded interview with Li Weiwei was broadcast on the main screen, in which she affectionately spoke about her father, claiming he was traveling abroad and sending her encouraging WeChat messages for the competition.

However, a reporter in the audience abruptly announced that Li Weiwei's father had actually passed away five years prior in a car accident, publicly accusing Li Weiwei of intentionally concealing her father's death. Stunned, Li Weiwei immediately tried to call her father. Crying, she pleaded with him to speak to her, begging him to say he was alive and just enjoying his trip.

Instead, she heard Huo Xiao's soft "I'm sorry" on the other end of the line, confirming the heartbreaking truth that he had been impersonating her father via text messages and calls. Huo Xiao rushed to the competition site, confronting Chen Yidu and demanding to know Li Weiwei's whereabouts. Chen Yidu coldly dismissed Li Weiwei, stating that nothing significant could happen to a woman who would exploit her deceased father for emotional leverage.

Huo Xiao retorted, accusing Chen Yidu of being partly responsible for Li Weiwei's father's death. Chen Yidu shot back, questioning who was accountable for his own mother's fate. Their heated argument quickly escalated into a physical brawl. Later, Leo found a heartbroken and despairing Li Weiwei. He revealed that his parents had also died in the same bus accident as her father. After the tragedy, Li Weiwei had adopted him, making him her younger brother.

He explained that her amnesia prevented her from recalling their past. He told Weiwei their first meeting was half a year after the car accident, when he was being bullied by a group of hooligans outside the orphanage, and Weiwei appeared and saved him. He promised to unconditionally love and support her, just as her father would have. In an attempt to salvage Li Weiwei's reputation, Chairman Huo publicly appeared at Huo Xiao's request.

He announced that he was the "father" Li Weiwei had spoken of and had always considered her his future daughter-in-law. Despite this intervention, Chen Yidu declared that he could no longer serve as Li Weiwei's mentor, stating he was unwilling to collaborate with someone who would exploit even a deceased family member.

Li Weiwei tried to explain that she wasn't manipulating the situation and had compelling, unspoken reasons why she must complete the competition, believing her father would have supported her in doing so if he were there. Leo questioned Li Weiwei about the immense importance she placed on the competition. Li Weiwei clarified that Ling Long Bridal and D. U. were competing for a valuable retail slot in Fontaine Department Store.

Winning the competition and securing the 100-million-yuan order was Ling Long's only chance to catch up to D. U.' s sales. When Leo expressed confusion about her continued loyalty to Huo Xiao after his deception, Li Weiwei simply stated that Huo Xiao was her brother, and his concerns were her own. Determined to help Li Weiwei, Leo approached Chen Yidu to clarify the situation. He explained that Chen Yidu had misjudged Li Weiwei for years.

He revealed that Li Weiwei had been in self-denial and genuinely believed her father was alive due to her inability to cope with his death, rather than intentionally exploiting him for publicity. Chen Yidu asked why he should believe him. Leo emphasized his own relationship to Li Weiwei as her brother and the fact that his parents also died in the same car accident, appealing to Chen Yidu's understanding and trust. Chen Yidu wrestled with his conflicted emotions.

He asked Mo Fan if he believed in second chances and whether it was possible to give another opportunity to someone who had previously caused him pain. Mo Fan advised him that the decision depended on the person's significance in his heart, suggesting that sometimes extending a chance to another person could also be a chance for oneself. Following this reflection, Chen Yidu decided to resume his role as Li Weiwei's mentor.

The final stage of the competition required mentors and their students to reside in Nanxi Village, a picturesque and traditional rural community. There, they would live for several days disconnected from mobile phones and computers, experiencing an authentic, rustic lifestyle. After this immersive experience, the students would be tasked with designing a wedding gown that encapsulated the essence of the rural environment, competing for the championship title.

While settled in their guesthouse in Nanxi Village, Li Weiwei discovered a beautiful silk tree flower embroidery. Chen Yidu suggested that incorporating this unique silk tree flower motif into her design would create an extraordinary Chinese-style gown, noting that traditional Chinese dresses often feature large areas of embroidery.

Huo Xiao reviewed CCTV footage from outside the Paris fashion show venue, confirming Chen Yidu's presence. Suspecting Chen Yidu's involvement in the fire, he grew deeply concerned about Li Weiwei's safety while she was with him. He immediately instructed Ou Ye to change his flight ticket so he could travel to Paris without delay to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, Kang Xing visited a computer repair shop to inquire about a USB drive from Ling Long.

The shop staff informed him that the drive was irrevocably corroded from prolonged water exposure, rendering its data unrecoverable. Kang Xing left without the USB drive and later informed Mo Fan that it was completely destroyed. Mo Fan, still cautious, reminded Kang Xing that although Gothia did not agree to their transaction in Paris, the matter must remain confidential, especially from Chen Yidu and his subordinates.

Huo Xiao also learned that the security guard on duty at the Paris fashion show, Alva, had resigned after the incident. He believed finding Alva could reveal insider information. Unbeknownst to Huo Xiao, Kang Xing had already contacted Alva and offered him a substantial reward to provide false testimony. The design competition continued. Tiffany presented a luxurious black suit.

Li Weiwei, however, designed comfortable, casual wear made of tencel fabric, explaining that her design aimed to be practical for fathers to wear while strolling, doing Tai Chi, or even converting into a bag for shopping. Her design concept won unanimous approval from the judges. During an on-stage interview, Li Weiwei spoke warmly of her father, whom she believed was touring abroad and encouraging her through WeChat messages.

However, a reporter from the audience revealed that Li Weiwei's father had actually passed away five years prior in a vehicular accident, accusing her of intentionally hiding the truth. Stunned, Li Weiwei tried repeatedly to call her father, crying and pleading with him to respond and tell her it was all a lie, but the phone was answered by Huo Xiao, who could only offer a sorrowful apology. Distraught, Li Weiwei struggled to comprehend the news.

Huo Xiao then confronted Chen Yidu, demanding to know Li Weiwei's whereabouts. Chen Yidu dismissively asked what could happen to a woman like Li Weiwei who used her deceased father to garner sympathy. Huo Xiao accused Chen Yidu of responsibility for Li Weiwei's father's death, to which Chen Yidu countered by blaming Huo Xiao for his mother's suffering. This escalated into a physical altercation between the two men, which was eventually broken up.

Later, Leo found the distressed Li Weiwei and explained that he understood her pain completely because his own parents were on the same bus as her father when the accident occurred. He revealed that Li Weiwei had adopted him after the tragedy, making him her younger brother. He clarified that Li Weiwei had lost her memories and that their first meeting was six months after the accident, when she rescued him from bullies outside an orphanage.

He promised her that he would unconditionally love and support her, just like a father. To protect Li Weiwei, Chairman Huo, at Huo Xiao's request, held a press conference and announced that he was the "father" Li Weiwei referred to, having always treated her as his own daughter and the future daughter-in-law of the Huo family.

Despite this, Chen Yidu publicly declared his withdrawal as Li Weiwei's advisor, stating he could not collaborate with someone who would exploit a deceased family member. Li Weiwei confronted Chen Yidu, attempting to explain that she was not exploiting her father and had compelling reasons to complete the competition, believing her father would have supported her.

Later, in a conversation with Leo, Li Weiwei further clarified that winning the competition and securing a 100 million yuan order was crucial for Ling Long Bridal to gain entry to Fontaine Department Store and catch up with D. U.' s sales. She also explained to Leo that she was doing it for Huo Xiao, whom she considered her brother, despite his earlier deception.

Leo later met with Chen Yidu to explain Li Weiwei's amnesia and her sincere conviction that her father was alive. He revealed that his own parents had also perished in the same accident, further emphasizing his connection to Li Weiwei's experience. He urged Chen Yidu to believe Li Weiwei's innocence. Torn by his conflicted feelings, Chen Yidu confided in Mo Fan, asking if people and circumstances could truly start over and if someone who had caused pain deserved another chance.

Mo Fan advised him to listen to his heart, suggesting that giving a chance to someone important could also be an opportunity for self-reflection. After some contemplation, Chen Yidu decided to resume his role as Li Weiwei's advisor. The final stage of the reality design competition brought contestants and their advisors to Nanxi Village, a picturesque location with simple folk customs, where they would experience an isolated, rustic life without modern technology for several days.

Their task was to design a wedding gown imbued with a countryside aesthetic to compete for the championship. While exploring the village, Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu encountered a young girl crying because everyone disliked her skirt. Chen Yidu warmly used oil paints to draw a beautiful skirt for the girl, a heartwarming scene that Li Weiwei sketched.

They also stayed at a bed and breakfast whose hosts were a stout aunt and a thin uncle, a couple famous in the area for their bickering. Despite their obvious affection for each other, they were afraid to confess, leading to constant playful arguments. Chen Yidu seemed to understand their dynamic, remarking that if two people couldn't be lovers, becoming enemies was the best way to maintain a connection, seemingly hinting at his relationship with Li Weiwei.

The four young designers decided to play matchmakers for the aunt and uncle. They tricked the thin uncle into believing the stout aunt had fainted, prompting him to spontaneously confess his feelings. The bickering pair finally united and decided to hold their wedding while the young designers were still there, asking them to design the aunt's wedding dress. In the bed and breakfast, Li Weiwei discovered a beautiful albizia flower embroidery.

She was initially perplexed about how to recreate the albizia flower pattern from the old embroidery found at the aunt's house. One night, while out sketching with Chen Yidu, they were chased by the aunt's wolf-like dog and ended up hiding in an albizia tree for the night. This unexpected incident sparked Li Weiwei's inspiration for the weaving and dyeing method. She shared this new insight with Tiffany, inviting her to a fair competition.

As Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu worked together on designing the wedding dress for the aunt, their tacit understanding grew, and their feelings for each other deepened. To outsiders, they appeared to be a couple deeply in love, though they themselves were reluctant to admit it. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao, immediately after landing and without regard for jet lag, instructed Ou Ye to quickly prepare to go to Nanxi Village. He declared that it was the day of the reality show finale, and he intended to pick up Weiwei and settle some scores with Chen Yidu.

Kang Xing visited a computer repair shop to inquire about a USB belonging to Ling Long that had been sent for repair. He was informed that the USB was completely corroded from prolonged water immersion, and the data could not be recovered.

Kang Xing then reported this to Mo Fan, who stated that while Ms. Cotillard had not agreed to their deal in Paris, it was crucial that no one, especially Chen Yidu or his staff, found out about their internal business with her. Mo Fan was still worried despite the USB's destruction and stressed the importance of keeping the information confidential. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao was investigating the Ling Long showroom fire.

He learned that the security guard on duty during the fire, Alva, had resigned shortly after the incident. Believing Alva held key information, Huo Xiao sought to find him. Separately, Kang Xing also contacted Alva and offered him a large sum of money to provide false testimony. In Nanxi Village, Li Weiwei was grappling with how to embroider the mimosa flower pattern for her competition design, puzzled about where to find an embroidery expert.

She found inspiration when Chen Yidu kindly drew a beautiful dress on a crying little girl's plain outfit, making the girl happy. Li Weiwei captured this touching scene in her sketch. She and Chen Yidu also observed the amusing bickering between Fat Auntie and Thin Uncle, the local innkeepers, who were well-known "jovial adversaries."

Chen Yidu remarked that some people, unable to express their love, become "enemies" as a way to continue interacting, a comment that seemed to reflect his own complex relationship with Li Weiwei. The four young designers decided to help Fat Auntie and Thin Uncle get together. They tricked Thin Uncle into believing Fat Auntie had fainted, prompting him to confess his long-held feelings for her.

The happy couple finally got together, deciding to hold their wedding while the four young designers were still there, and asked them to design Fat Auntie's wedding dress. Li Weiwei was still puzzled by how to dye the mimosa pattern from Fat Auntie's old embroidery. One day, while exploring, Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu were chased by Fat Auntie's wolf-like dog, leading them to spend a night perched in a mimosa tree.

This incident proved serendipitous as it gave Li Weiwei the crucial insight into the dyeing method. She generously shared this discovery with Tiffany, challenging her to a fair competition. While working on the wedding dress design for Fat Auntie, Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu's interactions became increasingly harmonious, and their feelings for each other grew. In the eyes of others, they appeared to be a couple in love, though they themselves were unwilling to admit it.

Huo Xiao, just back from France, immediately instructed Ou Ye to prepare for their trip to Nanxi Village, despite the jet lag. He declared it was the day of the reality show's final, and he intended to pick up Li Weiwei and settle a score with Chen Yidu.

The New Wave Fashion Design Competition's final round was held in conjunction with Fat Auntie and Thin Uncle's wedding in Nanxi Village, where the bride and bridesmaid dresses were designed by the contestants. When Fat Auntie appeared in Li Weiwei's wedding dress, she received widespread applause. Li Weiwei then delivered a speech about mimosa flowers and love, which deeply moved the villagers and judges. The voting began for the New Wave Fashion Design Competition.

After a round of competition, Tiffany and Li Weiwei received the same number of votes. The host announced that the champion would be decided between them, with the final, decisive vote belonging to Chen Yidu. When Chen Yidu cast his mimosa flower vote for Li Weiwei, even the host was surprised.

When interviewed, Chen Yidu explained that Li Weiwei's work successfully showcased the most beautiful memories in a woman's life, and her design had transcended the meaning of a mere dress. Furthermore, Li Weiwei had found the clue left by the production team, solved the embroidery method for the ancient mimosa pattern, and selflessly shared it with her competitor. These were his reasons for casting his valuable vote for Li Weiwei. Upon her victorious return, Li Weiwei's colleagues celebrated her success.

However, Li Weiwei stated that her greatest gain was not the trophy but friends, leading everyone to speculate that the "friend" she referred to was undoubtedly Chen Yidu, with whom she had spent so much time during the competition. Huo Xiao separately pulled Li Weiwei aside, warning her not to befriend Chen Yidu because he had hurt her.

Li Weiwei was unfazed, saying that as rivals, their relationship would certainly not be good, and if Chen Yidu had hurt her, she must have also hurt him. She now believed that perhaps her amnesia allowed her to forget unpleasant experiences and start anew.

During a break in Li Weiwei's work, Kang Xing approached her, asking if she was familiar with Ms. Cotillard, as their marketing department needed Ms. Cotillard's cooperation for an event and wished for Li Weiwei to introduce them. Through this conversation, Kang Xing tried to gauge how much Li Weiwei remembered about the events in France.

Ou Ye, disguised as an overseas Chinese returning from France, visited Du company, claiming to be looking for someone named Lucien to discuss a clothing business deal. His intention was to understand Chen Yidu's role in the French showroom fire. However, he was immediately recognized by Du company's security guard and had to leave in disgrace. Chen Yidu felt that Li Weiwei had truly changed from before.

He wondered if her two months in the hospital had completely altered her personality. He sought Mo Fan's opinion, asking if he could have another chance. Mo Fan, recalling the scene of his parents' car accident during his childhood, told Chen Yidu that some things cannot be redone, such as his relationship with Li Weiwei. Ou Ye gave Jenny a pair of insoles embroidered with mimosa patterns, explaining that villagers in Nanxi Village enjoyed using them.

When Jenny learned about the ancient custom in Nanxi Village where lovers exchange mimosa-embroidered gifts, she immediately understood Ou Ye's intentions and blushed deeply. Kang Xing met with a mysterious person, reporting that although Li Weiwei had amnesia, her reaction to questions about France was somewhat strange, but based on her demeanor, she likely had not seen the video. He also expressed concern that Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei's relationship had recently softened.

The mysterious person told him that it was time to create some conflict between the two of them. Li Weiwei went to Du company to deliver desserts to Chen Yidu but saw people protesting at the company entrance, accusing Du company of using toxic fabric to make wedding dresses. Instead of gloating over Du company's troubles, Li Weiwei decided to find out the truth behind the incident.

Following the toxic fabric incident, many of Du company's old clients shifted to Ling Long company. Huo Xiao worried that Chen Yidu might suspect Ling Long of orchestrating the entire event. He instructed Ou Ye to ensure that the public relations department maintained a consistent message with the media to be prepared. Some suppliers even took the opportunity to extort Chen Yidu, adding insult to injury.

A boutique store owner, whose business had ordered wedding dresses from D. U. Corporation, accused Chen Yidu's company of selling poisonous wedding dresses and demanded compensation, claiming the scandal had severely impacted his sales. Chen Yidu vehemently denied the accusations, assuring him of his products' quality and offering his personal reputation as a guarantee. However, the owner remained insistent.

Mo Fan unexpectedly arrived and sharply pointed out that the boutique owner's business was facing bankruptcy due to funding issues and he was desperate for money. As the CEO of Qizhi Investment and Chen Yidu's brother, Mo Fan then informed the owner that his advanced dress rental financial plan had been completely rejected. Chen Yidu thanked his brother for handling the situation, and they decided to go for a drink.

As Chen Yidu was driving, he abruptly braked to avoid a pedestrian, which caused Mo Fan to become agitated, scolding him to be more careful and warning him about the dangers of reckless driving. Chen Yidu was surprised by his brother's reaction. Meanwhile, Li Weiwei asked Huo Xiao to accompany her to meet Na Tie, the woman who was protesting D. U. Corporation, hoping to persuade her to reconcile with Chen Yidu.

Unbeknownst to them, Chen Yidu and Mo Fan were at the same bar. Seeing Li Weiwei sitting with Na Tie from a distance solidified Mo Fan's suspicion that Li Weiwei was manipulating the situation. Chen Yidu later brought Na Tie to D. U. Corporation and offered her a large check, explaining it was a gesture of sympathy for her misfortune, not an admission of guilt. He clarified that D. U.'

s wedding dress materials were safe and free of any poisonous fabrics. He warned Na Tie that if she continued to ignore the facts and spread rumors, he would initiate legal action for defamation. Na Tie, however, tore up the check, declaring that she did not want his "stupid money" but rather wanted to ruin his reputation. Later, Jenny, after an evening of drinking with Ou Ye and others, developed rashes all over her body due to an alcohol allergy.

Li Weiwei observed Jenny's symptoms and, realizing the significance, cheerfully granted Jenny half a day off, praising her for inadvertently providing a crucial clue. Li Weiwei then arranged to meet Na Tie again. This time, instead of talking, she offered Na Tie tiramisu. Na Tie unknowingly consumed the tiramisu, which contained rum. Soon, tiny rashes appeared on her skin, and she realized she had been tricked by Li Weiwei.

Li Weiwei confronted Na Tie, demanding to know why she had falsely accused D. U. Corporation of using poisonous fabric when she clearly knew her allergic reaction was due to alcohol. Li Weiwei gave Na Tie one day to expose the truth and apologize to D. U. , threatening to publicize the real reason behind Na Tie's rashes if she refused.

Mo Fan visited the cemetery, laying flowers at the graves of his parents, who had died in a car crash twenty-six years prior. He reflected on fulfilling all his promises to them, achieving countless first places, and traveling the world, but lamented that he remained all alone.

The incident with Na Tie, combined with earlier conversations, led Chen Yidu to believe Mo Fan's assertions that Li Weiwei was behind the poisonous wedding dress scandal, making him feel that he had misjudged her once again. Kang Xing sought out Mo Fan, taking credit for widening the rift between Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei, confident that reconciliation between them was now impossible.

He had previously expressed concern to Mo Fan about Li Weiwei's memory of France and the easing tension between her and Chen Yidu, to which Mo Fan had responded that it was time to create trouble between them. Online rumors then surfaced, alleging that D. U. Corporation had previously procured poisonous fabric five years ago. This information was known only to Chen Yidu, his secretary Cao Zhong, Tiffany, and Li Weiwei.

This revelation further eroded Chen Yidu's trust, making it impossible for him to defend Li Weiwei. He called Li Weiwei and invited her to dinner, specifically telling her to dress beautifully. Chen Yidu drove Li Weiwei to a secluded, scenic spot outside the city. Li Weiwei, thinking it was a romantic gesture to watch the sunset, was instead met with Chen Yidu's bitter sarcasm.

He accused her of being a manipulative actress, claiming that despite their rivalry over the years, he had always held back at crucial moments because of his love for her, only for her to repeatedly betray him. Li Weiwei, unable to recall the past due to her amnesia, could not defend herself. Chen Yidu confessed his utter defeat and declared that he wished for no further interaction with her, leaving her stranded in the remote location.

Li Weiwei, left helpless and alone, began the long, difficult walk back in her high heels and without food. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao anxiously waited at her home, trying to call Chen Yidu, whose phone was off. After walking through the night, a physically and emotionally exhausted Li Weiwei finally reached Chen Yidu's house, still demanding an apology from him. As Chen Yidu was closing the door, he saw her collapse.

Unable to harden his heart, he carried her inside to care for her. Upon regaining consciousness, Li Weiwei questioned why he would care for her if he hated her so much. Chen Yidu, still believing she was acting, told her to stop pretending and leave. It was then that Li Weiwei finally revealed to Chen Yidu that she had lost her memory.

Li Weiwei tried to explain her amnesia to Chen Yidu, stating she couldn't remember what happened five years ago and therefore couldn't be the one who leaked information to the media or conspired with Na Tie to frame D. U. Chen Yidu scoffed, saying he had already admitted defeat and asked how much more she intended to humiliate him.

He declared he would never harbor feelings for her again, as she was undeserving, and then harshly dragged her out, refusing to listen to any further explanations. Later, Chen Yidu received a video from Cao Zhong. In the video, Na Tie publicly apologized to D. U. Corporation, admitting that her rash on her wedding day was due to an alcohol allergy and unrelated to D. U.' s wedding dress fabric.

Cao Zhong further explained to Chen Yidu that Li Weiwei had exposed Na Tie's alcohol allergy, forcing her public apology. This revelation indicated that Li Weiwei was indeed innocent in the matter. Realizing his grave mistake and how cruelly he had treated Li Weiwei, Chen Yidu recalled her recent strange behaviors, which now made sense if she truly had amnesia. Without hesitation, he rushed out to find a despondent Li Weiwei and held her tightly.

Meanwhile, Kang Xing informed Mo Fan that Huo Xiao had hired a private detective in France to investigate him. Kang Xing had used the name "Lucien" while in France, which he hoped would buy him some time before the detective could trace him.

The photo Huo Xiao was using to make Chen Yidu a suspect in the showroom's arson actually showed Kang Xing accidentally bumping into Chen Yidu at the showroom entrance, which had led to the subjective assumption that "Lucien" (Kang Xing at the time) was Chen Yidu's associate. Chen Yidu brought a weak Li Weiwei home.

Huo Xiao, who had been waiting outside Li Weiwei's house all night, watched as Chen Yidu helped her from the car, his gaze filled with animosity. Chen Yidu declared his intention to never give up on Li Weiwei and expressed his desire to start anew with her. Huo Xiao responded by ominously reminding Chen Yidu to consider his mother's life before thinking of a new beginning. Kang Xing bribed a junior staff member at D. U.

company, who was burdened by a large mortgage, to casually assign "Lucien" as Cao Zhong's English name while helping colleagues pick foreign names, intending to create confusion. Later, Ou Ye, disguised as a woman, returned to D. U. to investigate who "Lucien" was, and unexpectedly discovered that "Lucien" was Cao Zhong. Despite reconciliation with Li Weiwei, Chen Yidu remained internally conflicted. While he hadn't forgotten Li Weiwei over the years, he also hadn't forgotten the past events.

Conversely, Li Weiwei was deeply engrossed in her feelings for Chen Yidu. Her brother, Leo, jokingly told her not to mention he was her sibling if she couldn't control her infatuation, and also reminded her that Huo Xiao seemed equally devoted to her, asking how she planned to handle the situation. A doctor informed Chen Yidu that his mother, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, was stable enough to return home.

Upon her arrival, Chen's mother eagerly pressed her son to find a partner. At a company meeting, Huo Ruiyong criticized Li Weiwei for taking advantage of the company and lacking initiative. Li Weiwei, lost in her own thoughts of triumphing over Chen Yidu, unexpectedly burst into laughter when Huo Ruiyong suggested she was unfit for her role as Ling Long's Design Director, unsettling him. Chen's mother and Li Weiwei had a chance encounter on the street.

Chen's mother was immediately charmed by Li Weiwei's beauty and auspicious appearance, attempting to introduce her to her son. When Li Weiwei heard Cao Zhong address Chen's mother as "Auntie," she had a sudden revelation, seeing a clear path forward. She decided to use Chen's mother as a way to get closer to Chen Yidu. That evening, Chen Yidu returned home, and his mother insisted he accompany her on a blind date.

Tiffany, upon hearing that Chen Yidu's mother was home, went to great lengths to win her favor, but Chen's mother largely ignored her, treating her like a servant. Chen's mother forcefully led Chen Yidu to the arranged meeting place with Li Weiwei. Li Weiwei, deliberately wearing a mask, sat opposite Chen Yidu, who, feeling awkward, improvised by covering his face with a banana leaf as his mother ushered them into a private tea room.

Chen Yidu's mother dragged him to a blind date. Feeling embarrassed, Chen Yidu casually held a banana leaf to cover his face. He expressed his disinterest, stating he was only there to appease his mother. Li Weiwei, having already planned to win him over through his mother, was also present, wearing a mask. She confidently told Chen Yidu that his lack of interest was because he didn't know who she was.

As she dramatically removed her mask, Chen Yidu was utterly stunned to see Li Weiwei, reacting as if he had seen a ghost. He tried to leave immediately, but Li Weiwei held him back, refusing to let him go. After the date, Chen Yidu was furious upon realizing Li Weiwei had been secretly approaching his mother. He warned her to stay away from his mother, accusing her of having ulterior motives.

However, Li Weiwei and Chen's mother, who had forgotten the past, were baffled by his outburst. Meanwhile, Leo, to create a diversion for Li Weiwei, brought Huo Xiao to a movie. Huo Xiao felt very uncomfortable sitting amongst couples. At Chen Yidu's home, Tiffany took on the role of a full-time housemaid, cooking and cleaning, hoping to impress Chen Yidu.

However, Chen Yidu's mother, who had recently returned home from the hospital, did not favor Tiffany and treated her merely as a servant. Chen Yidu invited Mo Fan home for dinner. On their way, a piece of glass fell from a height, and Chen Yidu quickly pushed Mo Fan to safety, injuring his own hand in the process. At home, Chen's mother was confused by the presence of two "sons," asking which one she had given birth to first.

Chen Yidu playfully assured her that Mo Fan was his elder brother. Mo Fan, though smiling, lost his smile upon seeing a photograph of Chen Yidu's father, which triggered painful memories of his own parents' fatal car accident. Chen Yidu later told Mo Fan about his internal struggle: although his mother, despite her illness, still harbored affection for Li Weiwei, he himself couldn't forget the severe injury his mother sustained because of Li Weiwei in the past.

This deeply rooted fear made him doubt if he could ever overcome his inner obstacle to be with Li Weiwei. A flashback revealed that Chen Yidu's mother had suffered her brain injury, leading to Alzheimer's, after falling down the stairs during an intense argument between Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei when Li Weiwei insisted on moving out, and Chen's mother tried to stop her. Taking advantage of Chen's mother's return home, Li Weiwei orchestrated another encounter.

Leo distracted Tiffany, allowing Li Weiwei to take the disguised Chen's mother out for a shopping trip. Chen's mother mentioned wanting to tell Weiwei all the foods her son liked, but then couldn't find the pastry shop she usually frequented. Li Weiwei asked her to sit by the street while she went to look for it. Meanwhile, Kang Xing, acting on Mo Fan's instructions, followed them.

When Li Weiwei briefly stepped away, Kang Xing approached Chen's mother, falsely claiming that Chen Yidu had sent him to bring her home. After walking a few blocks, Kang Xing disappeared, leaving Chen's mother alone on the street. Disoriented, unable to find Li Weiwei, and unsure of her way back, Chen's mother panicked, stumbled, and broke her arm.

This incident was a calculated move by Mo Fan, who sought to make Chen Yidu experience the pain of losing a loved one, mirroring his own belief that Chen's family was responsible for his own family's loss. When Chen Yidu learned of his mother's injury, he was furious, blaming Li Weiwei for hurting his mother again. He cruelly declared to Li Weiwei that he would never love her in this lifetime, leaving her utterly disheartened.

Tiffany, frustrated at failing to fulfill Chen Yidu's task, also lashed out at Li Weiwei. Leo intervened to protect Li Weiwei, taking two slaps from Tiffany. He then decided on a more savage retaliation, digging a caterpillar from a flowerpot and slipping it into Tiffany's collar, causing her to scream in horror. While recuperating in the hospital, Chen's mother repeatedly asked to see Li Weiwei. To calm her, Chen Yidu lied, claiming he had a girlfriend.

This led to his mother constantly urging him to bring his girlfriend to meet her. Chen Yidu reluctantly tried to get Tiffany to impersonate his girlfriend, but his mother was not convinced. Li Weiwei, meanwhile, consulted Old Wan for advice on how to win over a mother-in-law, deciding to apply the same strategy to Chen's mother by treating her as her own. Li Weiwei then devised a plan, disguising herself as a nurse to visit Chen's mother in the hospital. Chen's mother was overjoyed to see Li Weiwei and quickly sent Tiffany away to buy pan-fried buns, eager to chat warmly with Li Weiwei.

Tiffany, returning to the hospital with pan-fried buns, was intercepted by Leo. Leo demanded compensation for the previous day's two slaps, suggesting she pay money or, if not, accompany him for a meal. Tiffany vehemently rejected paying but agreed to eat with him. Meanwhile, Li Weiwei, disguised as a nurse, was with Chen's mother in the ward, happily playing mahjong on a tablet. Chen’s mother had sent Tiffany away to buy the buns.

Suddenly hearing Chen Yidu enter, Chen’s mother quickly hid the tablet under her covers and pretended to be unconcerned, while Li Weiwei continued her nurse charade. The doctor, mistaking Li Weiwei for nurse Xiao Zhou, instructed her to give Chen Yidu a fever injection. Li Weiwei was momentarily flustered but then, recalling Chen Yidu's annoying behavior, decided to get revenge with the shot.

As Chen Yidu exposed part of his buttock for the injection, he noticed the nurse's nervous demeanor and familiar appearance. He pulled down her mask, discovering it was Li Weiwei. Startled by his sudden action, Li Weiwei nervously jabbed the needle hard into his buttock, causing him to cry out in pain. Their verbal sparring attracted medical staff, and Huo Xiao arrived, once again helping Li Weiwei out of the predicament.

Back in the ward, Chen Yidu found his mother still playing mahjong on the tablet and learned it was Li Weiwei who had brought it. He took the tablet and saw Li Weiwei's photos, along with a specially installed GPS tracking system designed to prevent his mother from getting lost again. A slight smile appeared on Chen Yidu's usually impassive face, signaling his understanding of Li Weiwei's thoughtful intentions.

Chen’s mother then confided in her son that while Tiffany was "not bad," she inexplicably preferred Li Weiwei. Later, Chen’s mother messaged Li Weiwei, expressing how much she missed her. Li Weiwei immediately left work and rushed to the hospital to accompany her. Li Weiwei suggested to Chen’s mother that she could become her goddaughter, which would make her visits legitimate and prevent Chen Yidu from interfering.

Li Weiwei brought a hair curler, face masks, and cosmetics to cheer up Chen's mother. As they were happily bonding, Chen Yidu entered the room, followed by the doctor. Observing their joyful interaction, the doctor told Chen Yidu that his mother seemed very fond of Li Weiwei. He explained that although Chen’s mother had forgotten many things, she always remembered her deepest desire to find a partner for her son, wanting to ensure his happiness.

The doctor's words deeply moved Chen Yidu. He reflected that both his mother and Li Weiwei had forgotten many things but remembered the happy ones. He decided to try forgetting their unpleasant past and start anew with Li Weiwei. Meanwhile, Ou Ye accompanied Huo Xiao in the flower shop Huo Xiao had personally built. Ou Ye asked Huo Xiao when he planned to give the flower shop to Li Weiwei.

Huo Xiao replied with a bitter smile that he had originally intended it as a wedding gift for Li Weiwei, but now he wasn't sure if he still could. Ou Ye encouraged Huo Xiao, telling him it was time to assert his claim on Li Weiwei, reminding him that she was, after all, his fiancée. Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei began dating. They spent a joyful day together at an amusement park.

Afterward, they went to the hospital together to visit Chen’s mother. Chen’s mother, delighted, lovingly held their hands together, showing her warm approval. While this happy moment unfolded, Huo Xiao, still concerned about Li Weiwei, went with Ou Ye to check on her at home. They didn't find her but discovered a book she was reading, titled "How to Make Me Fall in Love with You," which brought a wry smile to Huo Xiao's face.

Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu went to see a horror movie, and unlike typical couples where the woman would cling to her boyfriend, Chen Yidu, the usually cold CEO, acted like a timid lamb, covering his eyes with his clothes in fear. Li Weiwei, amused, put her arm around him, feeling strong and protective. Tiffany called Weiwei to find out Chen Yidu's whereabouts. Weiwei, intending to annoy her, deliberately turned on the faucet, pretending Chen Yidu was showering.

Just then, Leo arrived at D. U. company to see if Weiwei was there, and Tiffany, full of frustration, unleashed all her anger on him. Later, Li Weiwei invited Chen Yidu to a lavish home-cooked meal. As Chen Yidu waited, nearly falling asleep, a scream came from the kitchen. Li Weiwei had burned all the dishes.

Chen Yidu playfully remarked that the only dish she truly knew how to make was egg-fried rice, yet she insisted on trying to impress him. Despite the cooking mishap, they shared a romantic dinner with two plates of egg-fried rice, wine, and candles. Chen Yidu apologized for any past hurt he had caused her. Li Weiwei, seizing the moment, playfully "sentenced" him to be devoted to her alone for the rest of his life, like a servant.

Chen Yidu, in his heart, thanked Li Weiwei's persistence, which had helped him finally understand his own feelings and allowed them to start anew. Li Weiwei, basking in her newfound love, radiated happiness and wished for everyone around her to be equally joyful. When Su Fei requested annual leave to travel with her boyfriend, Li Weiwei generously granted her an extra week to spend time with him. She also advised Ou Ye on how to pursue Jenny.

She even went as far as to advise Huo Ruiyong that if he didn't use so much hair gel and wear such flashy clothes, girls would definitely pursue him. Huo Xiao called Li Weiwei under the pretense of discussing business, asking her to meet him at their usual spot. When Li Weiwei arrived, she seemed distracted. Huo Xiao, unable to bring himself to force her to engage, asked Ou Ye to drive her home.

He then ordered ten beers, intent on drinking his sorrows away. Drunk, Huo Xiao confessed his true feelings to Ou Ye, saying he thought Weiwei, having lost her memory, would forget Chen Yidu and fall in love with him instead. Later, while Ou Ye was tidying up the greenhouse with Huo Xiao, Ou Ye, feeling indignant, asked Huo Xiao when he planned to give the greenhouse to Li Weiwei.

Huo Xiao replied with a bitter smile that he had originally intended it as a wedding gift for Weiwei, but now he wasn't sure if he could still give it to her. Ou Ye encouraged Huo Xiao, telling him it was time to assert his claim over Li Weiwei, reminding him that she was, after all, his fiancée. Chen Yidu had planned a romantic evening with Li Weiwei at Fisherman's Wharf to watch the sunset.

When Tiffany unexpectedly burst into his office, insisting on having dinner with him, Chen Yidu informed her that he already had plans. Tiffany, guessing his date was with Li Weiwei, chastised him, warning that his actions would demoralize D. U.' s employees, cause partners to withdraw, and significantly impact the company's stock price. Fortunately, Leo arrived and pulled Tiffany away, ending her tirade and helping Chen Yidu.

Chen Yidu took Li Weiwei to an amusement park, where they had a joyful day. Afterwards, they visited Chen Yidu's mother at the hospital, and Chen's mother happily brought their hands together. Their romantic date was abruptly cut short when both their phones rang simultaneously; members of both their companies were having a joint gathering at a hotel and demanded their presence.

At the gathering, Huo Xiao and Tiffany pulled Chen Yidu into a game of mahjong, while Ou Ye drew Li Weiwei into a game of truth or dare. Chen Yidu and Huo Xiao ended up drinking so much they passed out, and Old Wan had them both taken to Li Weiwei's room. Curious about their bosses' overnight absence, Ou Ye and Cao Zhong found themselves outside Li Weiwei's room, attempting to eavesdrop.

However, Li Weiwei suddenly appeared behind them, explaining that she had spent the night at Jenny's room, leaving her room to the two drunkards. Nothing exciting, to their disappointment, had transpired.

Meanwhile, Ou Ye, who was trying to confirm if Cao Zhong was Lu Xi An, the person who set the fashion show on fire, used the company gathering as an excuse to photograph Cao Zhong and Su Fei posing on a motorcycle, intending to use Cao Zhong's physique for his assessment.

Li Weiwei startled Chen Yidu and Huo Xiao awake as they lay together in her room, disoriented from a night of heavy drinking. Both men sprang up, shocked to find themselves next to each other, quickly checking their clothes to ensure they were decent, looking as if they had suffered a great loss. Li Weiwei then revealed she had slept in Jenny's room, leaving the two "drunks" to themselves.

Earlier that morning, Ou Ye and Cao Zhong had been eavesdropping outside Li Weiwei's door, speculating about who might have spent the night with her, having discovered that neither Chen Yidu nor Huo Xiao had returned to their own rooms, but nothing happened as these curious people wished.

Afterward, Ou Ye privately informed Huo Xiao that he had tested Cao Zhong's motorcycle riding skills, confirming that Cao Zhong could not ride a motorcycle and was not like the true Lu Xi An. This led Huo Xiao to conclude that he was being deliberately misled in their investigation and reminded Ou Ye to be vigilant.

Li Weiwei, feeling empowered in her new relationship, reminisced with Chen Yidu about their horror movie date, where he had been easily frightened and she had felt incredibly powerful. Later, at home, Li Weiwei attempted to cook a "high class family banquet" for Chen Yidu, but she managed to burn all the food. Chen Yidu teased her, pointing out that she only knew how to make omurice, yet insisted on showing off.

Despite the culinary mishap, he prepared two omurice dishes, and they enjoyed a surprisingly romantic candlelight dinner with red wine and candles. Chen Yidu apologized for the hurt he had caused her in the past. Li Weiwei, in turn, "punished" him to be her devoted servant forever, only good to her. Chen Yidu inwardly thanked her for her persistence, which allowed him to understand his own heart and for them to start anew.

Huo Xiao, still struggling with Li Weiwei's growing closeness to Chen Yidu, called her under the guise of discussing business and insisted on meeting her at their usual spot. When Li Weiwei arrived, her mind was clearly elsewhere. Seeing her distraction, Huo Xiao reluctantly sent her home with Ou Ye, then ordered ten glasses of beer for himself, drowning his sorrows.

Drunk, he confided in Ou Ye that he had hoped Li Weiwei's amnesia would make her forget Chen Yidu and fall in love with him instead. Li Weiwei’s happiness in her relationship with Chen Yidu seemed contagious, making her want the whole world to be happy with her. Sophie asked for annual leave to travel with her boyfriend, so Li Weiwei generously granted her an extra week of vacation. She also offered Ou Ye advice on how to woo Jenny.

She even tried to give Huo Ruiyong fashion advice, suggesting he reduce his hair gel and flamboyant attire, which she believed would attract women. Chen Yidu arranged to meet Li Weiwei after work at the Fisherman's Wharf to watch the sunset. Tiffany barged into Chen Yidu's office, wanting to have dinner with him, but he told her he already had an appointment. Tiffany guessed Chen Yidu must be meeting Li Weiwei.

She accused Chen Yidu of actions that would severely damage D. U.' s employee morale, cause partners to cease cooperation, and even cause the company's stock price to plummet. Tiffany wanted to continue her impassioned speech, but Leo opportunely appeared and pulled Tiffany away, saving Chen Yidu. Their romantic evening was abruptly interrupted when both their phones rang. They learned that members of both D. U.

and Ling Long were holding a joint friendly gathering at the hotel and expected them to join. At the hotel, Huo Xiao and Tiffany dragged Chen Yidu to play mahjong, and he agreed to play with a drinking penalty for losses. Ou Ye, on the other hand, played truth or dare with Li Weiwei. Both Chen Yidu and Huo Xiao ended up heavily intoxicated from playing mahjong and were eventually taken to Li Weiwei's room by Old Wan.

Ou Ye had always wanted to verify if Cao Zhong was indeed the Lu Xi An who set the showroom on fire. Taking advantage of the inter-company gathering, he suggested taking photos for the website, proposing that Cao Zhong and Sophie ride a motorcycle for some poses, thereby judging from Cao Zhong's posture. Later, Huo Xiao confronted Chen Yidu at a boxing ring, declaring he would not allow Chen Yidu to succeed with Li Weiwei's affections.

Chen Yidu, in turn, retorted that Huo Xiao had no right to interfere in his and Weiwei's affairs. Huo Xiao knocked Chen Yidu to the ground, telling him that no matter what, the outcome would be the same as five years ago: only he would fail, Weiwei would only hate him more, and if Weiwei regained her memory, she would only feel more disgusted by him.

The international tango dance competition, featuring famous dancers An An and Yi Hang, required designs from renowned designers and was crucial for Ling Long's entry into Fontaine Bleue Wear. Huo Xiao had initially taken Li Weiwei early in the morning to observe the dancers' practice, telling her that if her design was adopted, Ling Long's entry into Fontaine Department Store would be just around the corner.

As they were talking, Chen Yidu and Tiffany also arrived at the dance studio, and Coach Zhou announced that a bidding process would be used to decide which company's competition costume design would be chosen. Li Weiwei, disheartened by the thought of competing against Chen Yidu, accepted his agreement: business would be separate from personal life, with no work talk during dates and no mercy shown during competition.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan told Kang Xing that now that Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu were together, if they formed a strong alliance, his plan would be difficult to achieve, and the current solution was to stir up trouble. Tiffany had prepared a draft to smear Li Weiwei and planned to send it out, believing Coach Zhou would not allow Ling Long to participate. However, Chen Yidu warned her that if she put those crooked thoughts into the bidding process, D.

U. would definitely surpass Ling Long. Both D. U. and Ling Long companies brought their design drafts to see Coach Zhou. During the explanation of the designs, Tiffany and Li Weiwei engaged in another verbal battle. Li Weiwei felt very low-spirited seeing herself and Chen Yidu in opposing positions. On the day the bidding results were to be announced, Li Weiwei found Chen Yidu and told him that she had a way to break the deadlock between D. U.

and Ling Long, so they would no longer fight to the death: neither of them should participate in the bid. After saying that, she took out her design draft, tore it into several pieces, and threw them behind her. Moved by her gesture, Chen Yidu mirrored her actions. He took the design draft from Tiffany, tore it into several pieces without hesitation, and stated that he would support her in whatever she chose to do.

Coach Zhou and the two dancers had been waiting for the designers from both companies, but instead, Huo Ruiyong arrived with his shockingly ugly design draft. Huo Ruiyong threatened the dancers, saying they could choose not to use his designs, but then their only option would be to perform naked. Li Weiwei knew that Huo Xiao was angry about her impulsive actions.

Huo Xiao told her that the fashion industry is evolving so fast now that if Ling Long always chose to avoid competition with D. U. , both companies would soon be eliminated. As soon as Chen Yidu returned to the company, he received news that Ling Long had received the order for the tango dance costumes.

Li Weiwei urgently called Chen Yidu to meet him and explain that Ling Long getting the order was purely Huo Ruiyong's personal action and had nothing to do with her. Chen Yidu said he believed her, but just as Li Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Yidu made another shocking statement: he broke up with her.

Chen Yidu informs Li Weiwei that their relationship must end. He explains that their opposing loyalties to Ling Long and D. U. Wedding Gowns, both their responsibilities and their "original sin," create an insurmountable conflict. He believes that every future professional confrontation would leave scars on their hearts, eventually turning their love into resentment. Chen Yidu states it is better to end things now, while they still have cherished memories, rather than waiting for their hearts to become numb.

Li Weiwei, in tears, pleads with him not to give up so easily and to work harder on their relationship, but Chen Yidu remains resolute and departs. Distraught, Li Weiwei returns home and confines herself to her room. Her brother, Leo, expressing concern, threatens to confront Chen Yidu. However, he soon discovers Li Weiwei furiously punching and kicking a teddy bear, imagining it to be Chen Yidu, and realizes she is dealing with her emotions.

Leo asks her about her plans. Li Weiwei immediately declares her intention to win Chen Yidu back but admits she has no strategy. Leo advises her to use tears as a powerful tactic, claiming men are defenseless against a woman's crying. Li Weiwei attempts this strategy by dressing like a "ghost" and ambushing Chen Yidu in the D. U. parking lot, hoping to evoke his pity. Instead of winning him back, she only manages to scare a D. U.

security guard unconscious. When Chen Yidu returns home, he discovers a new neighbor moving in – Li Weiwei, who is now determined to pursue him relentlessly. At Ling Long, an online poll titled "Ling Long's Best Couple" is started, with Li Weiwei and Huo Xiao predictably leading the votes. Su Fei and Jenny comment on their enduring bond through thick and thin without ever arguing.

Li Weiwei, angered by the poll, orders them to return to work and instructs the engineering department to remove the post. Li Weiwei, struggling to find design inspiration, discusses with Huo Xiao how she feels undeserving of the international tango competition design rights, which Ling Long secured due to his Second Uncle's interference. Huo Xiao simply smiles, understanding her feelings. Li Weiwei, still determined to mend things with Chen Yidu, devises a new plan.

She contacts Leo and instructs him to gather information about Chen Yidu's preferences from Tiffany. Leo, pretending to be romantically interested in Tiffany, invites her to dinner and subtly questions her about Chen Yidu's favorite activities and foods. Tiffany, eager to display her knowledge, shares many details until she realizes she has been tricked and leaves. Leo compiles the information into a "future brother-in-law" profile for Li Weiwei, earning her praise.

Despite this, Li Weiwei firmly rejects Leo's request to move in with her, stating she doesn't want any distractions from her pursuit of Chen Yidu. Armed with Leo's intel, Li Weiwei bakes a mango-filled cake and delivers it to Chen Yidu's home, insisting he taste it. Chen Yidu reluctantly complies, only to break out in an itchy rash, revealing a severe allergy to mangoes. Li Weiwei quickly realizes that Leo's "intelligence" was disastrously incorrect and flees Chen Yidu's apartment.

Later, Huo Xiao, having paid Leo a substantial sum for Li Weiwei's new address, visits her with her favorite pig trotter soup. Taking her hand, he playfully suggests that if they were to marry, he would cook her any soup she desired daily. Li Weiwei, however, feigns ignorance and deflects, suggesting that as close friends, such elaborate efforts for soup are unnecessary.

Still feeling uneasy about how Ling Long obtained the tango competition design rights, Li Weiwei takes a joint design agreement to D. U. She stages a sit-in at the company lobby, forcing Chen Yidu to meet her. She proposes that Ling Long and D. U. collaborate on the competition costumes and specifically requests Chen Yidu to be her co-designer. Chen Yidu agrees, stating that he will always consider opportunities beneficial to his company, but advises her to give up if she has other intentions.

Chen Yidu had previously broken up with Li Weiwei, stating that their opposing positions as rivals, D. U. and Ling Long, made their relationship impossible without causing pain and resentment from every business encounter. Despite his resolute departure, Li Weiwei persistently tried to reconcile with him. She moved into the apartment next door to him, determined to pursue him from all angles.

She made efforts to spend time with him, once intercepting him in the parking lot disguised to elicit sympathy, but accidentally scared a security guard unconscious instead of moving Chen Yidu. In another attempt, her brother Leo, feigning interest in Tiffany, gathered information on Chen Yidu's preferences for Li Weiwei. Li Weiwei also made Chen Yidu a mango cake, unaware that mango was his allergen, causing him to break out in an itchy rash.

Meanwhile, Huo Xiao, who paid Leo a large sum to find Li Weiwei's new address, brought her homemade pig trotters soup and confessed his desire to marry her, which Li Weiwei deflected by playfully calling them "besties." At D. U. , Li Weiwei pushed for a joint design venture between Ling Long and D. U. for the International Tango Dance Competition. She presented a contract, requiring Chen Yidu to collaborate with her.

Chen Yidu agreed, stating he would accept anything that benefits his company, but advised her to abandon any other expectations. As they worked on the design for dancers An An and Yi Hang, Li Weiwei named their creation "Ice and Fire Song," symbolizing the dancers' personalities and their story of "ice touching fire and fire melting ice." The design was well-received, even by the usually picky An An.

Following their successful collaboration, Li Weiwei invited Chen Yidu for omurice to celebrate, but he coldly refused, stating their collaboration ended there and wishing to maintain distance. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao faced his father's wrath at the company for conceding half of the tango design rights to D. U. , an opportunity that had already been secured. His father severely reprimanded him.

Huo Xiao took full responsibility, explaining that Ling Long had won the project unfairly due to his Second Uncle's despicable actions, and partnering with D. U. was a fair resolution. Li Weiwei, who was present, admitted she was moved by Huo Xiao's actions, but clarified that she couldn't develop romantic feelings for him. Separately, Ou Ye received documents from France, which he placed in Huo Xiao's office.

Kang Xing, hiding in the dark, overheard Ou Ye's phone call to Huo Xiao, stating that a witness to the showroom's fire in Paris had been found and could identify Lu Xi An. Kang Xing decided to take a risk. That night, Kang Xing snuck into Huo Xiao's office to photograph the documents. As he prepared to leave, Su Fei and Cao Zhong, who were secretly dating, unexpectedly arrived at the company.

Cao Zhong was accompanying Su Fei to retrieve her phone, which she had forgotten in the meeting room. Cao Zhong's keen ears heard a noise from Huo Xiao's office, prompting Su Fei to investigate, but she found no one. Kang Xing, startled, accidentally triggered an alarm while hiding, forcing him to flee. Su Fei and Cao Zhong also hastily left to avoid exposing their secret relationship.

The next day, despite security not finding anything amiss, company surveillance footage revealed Su Fei and Cao Zhong entering the office. When the footage was publicly played, the suspicious individuals were identified as Su Fei and Cao Zhong. Facing the risk of being labeled as spies, Su Fei confessed her relationship with Cao Zhong to her colleagues. Given the rivalry between Ling Long and D. U.

, Li Weiwei asked Su Fei if she would choose love or her job if forced to choose; Su Fei unhesitatingly chose love. Li Weiwei, empathetic after her memory loss, considered the situation carefully. In contrast, Chen Yidu, displaying his cold and domineering CEO persona, gave Cao Zhong an ultimatum: break up with Su Fei or resign from D. U. , telling him to choose carefully.

Li Weiwei, however, chose to trust Su Fei and openly supported her right to love and pursue happiness. She encouraged Su Fei to persevere, work hard, and continue her relationship, believing they would have a good ending.

Su Fei eagerly relayed the good news to Cao Zhong, who, still under pressure from Chen Yidu's ultimatum and his family's financial needs (his younger brother needed school uniforms, a bicycle, and a laptop), found himself in a painful dilemma, caught between being a scumbag or an unfilial son. Kang Xing reported to Mo Fan about the alarm incident, relieved that only Su Fei and Cao Zhong were caught on camera.

Mo Fan instructed Kang Xing to find the showroom's fire witness before Huo Xiao could. Huo Xiao warned Li Weiwei that Su Fei and Cao Zhong were in a very awkward and precarious position due to the D. U. and Ling Long rivalry, and would be the first suspects if any issues arose. Li Weiwei angrily retorted that if Chen Yidu dared to break them up, she would definitely challenge him. Ultimately, Cao Zhong resigned from D. U.

to preserve his relationship with Su Fei, prioritizing love over his much-needed job and family responsibilities (he had two elderly parents and a younger brother to support). Tiffany, learning of this, called Su Fei, accusing her of being selfish. Li Weiwei confronted Chen Yidu, asking if he forced Cao Zhong's resignation and accusing him of hindering others' love because he himself couldn't face his own feelings.

She challenged Chen Yidu, stating that if she could prove Su Fei and Cao Zhong were willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, he should allow Cao Zhong to return to work.

Late one night at Ling Long, Su Fei and Cao Zhong were retrieving Su Fei's forgotten cellphone from a meeting room when they heard a noise coming from Huo Xiao's office. Cao Zhong urged Su Fei to hide, but she insisted on checking the office, only to find it empty. As they turned to leave, Kang Xing, who was secretly inside taking photos, accidentally triggered an alarm.

Hearing the loud alarm, Su Fei and Cao Zhong fled quickly to avoid exposing their secret relationship. The next morning, Huo Xiao reviewed the CCTV footage and discovered Su Fei and Cao Zhong as the suspicious individuals. Faced with undeniable evidence, Su Fei publicly admitted to her colleagues that Cao Zhong was her boyfriend. When Li Weiwei asked if she would choose love or work given Ling Long and D. U.'

s rivalry, Su Fei unhesitatingly chose love, believing that she and Cao Zhong could overcome any obstacles together. Li Weiwei, who had become softer since her amnesia, needed to seriously consider her decision. Meanwhile, Chen Yidu, displaying his cold and domineering nature, gave Cao Zhong an ultimatum: break up with Su Fei or resign. Li Weiwei chose to believe Su Fei was not a mole, asserting that love and the pursuit of happiness were everyone's rights.

She encouraged Su Fei to persevere, balance hard work with love, and expressed her belief in a good outcome for the couple. Su Fei excitedly called Cao Zhong to share this good news. On the phone, Cao Zhong, unwilling to tell his girlfriend about Chen Yidu's ultimatum, forced a smile and reassured Su Fei of his commitment, pretending that his job was secure. However, he was secretly distraught.

A subsequent phone call from his father, detailing his younger brother's tuition, uniform, bike, and computer needs, further highlighted Cao Zhong's financial burden. Cao Zhong later resigned from D. U. to protect his relationship. Meanwhile, Tiffany called Su Fei, angrily accusing her of selfishness for allowing Cao Zhong to resign, knowing his family depended on him.

Li Weiwei confronted Chen Yidu, outraged by his decision to force Cao Zhong's resignation and interfere with their relationship, asking why he would hinder others' love if he himself couldn't face his feelings. Li Weiwei then challenged Chen Yidu to a bet: if she could prove that Cao Zhong and Su Fei were willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, then Chen Yidu must reinstate Cao Zhong.

Chen Yidu agreed, adding a condition that if they instead prioritized personal gain, Li Weiwei must stop bothering him. Li Weiwei confidently accepted, telling him to prepare for defeat. To prove her point, Li Weiwei devised a test. She informed Cao Zhong that Su Fei, after learning of his resignation, had drunk excessively out of sorrow, and was now in the hospital in a coma from acute liver failure.

She claimed Su Fei needed an immediate liver transplant, and that only Cao Zhong, whose liver was compatible according to his medical report, could save her. Meanwhile, Su Fei waited anxiously at the hospital entrance for Cao Zhong. Chen Yidu tried to comfort Su Fei, saying their relationship hadn't been very long, and she was young and wouldn't have trouble finding another good man.

Su Fei fiercely rejected his words, asserting her unwavering faith that the man she chose would not abandon his sick beloved, and that they would be together no matter the difficulty. Eventually, Li Weiwei arrived with Cao Zhong. Facing Su Fei, Cao Zhong reaffirmed his decision to sacrifice his liver for her, moving Su Fei to tears. Despite this clear demonstration of love, Chen Yidu initially remained firm in his decision not to rehire Cao Zhong.

Li Weiwei had recently moved into an apartment, becoming Chen Yidu's neighbor, leaving her younger brother Leo alone in their large villa. Leo, afraid of the dark and ghosts, tried to stay with Li Weiwei. After she allowed him to sleep on her sofa for one night, she sent him back home.

He then went to Tiffany’s place, using a past grievance—that Tiffany had previously misidentified Chen Yidu's favorite fruit, causing trouble for Weiwei—as an excuse to brazenly ask to become her roommate, wondering if she minded having a handsome, charming, and sunny roommate. Thinking Chen Yidu wasn't keeping his word, Li Weiwei decided to play a trick on him.

She tricked her way into Chen Yidu's home and convinced him to drink with her on his balcony, feigning happiness for all lovers who find their way to each other. Chen Yidu pondered whether Li Weiwei had truly reverted to her former kindhearted self, someone who would go through fire and water for a friend.

After they finished an entire case of wine, Chen Yidu needed to use the restroom, only to find that Li Weiwei had locked him out on the balcony. To get back inside and gain the right to use her restroom, Chen Yidu was forced to reluctantly agree to Li Weiwei's demand to rehire Cao Zhong.

Just as the relationship between Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu began to ease, Tiffany called Chen Yidu, urging him to check his public email for strange messages, saying all employees had received them and didn't know what they meant. Chen Yidu opened his email and was furious, almost spitting blood, discovering embarrassing candid photos of himself in the restroom had been sent to all his employees.

Li Weiwei, caught in the act, attempted to flee, claiming she had accidentally sent the photos due to a shaky hand and loss of control. As Chen Yidu chased her, Li Weiwei pleaded with him not to hit her face. Unexpectedly, Chen Yidu lowered his head and fiercely kissed her instead. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao met with Ms. Fang, the eyewitness to the Paris showroom fire.

Ms. Fang's extraordinarily precise and detailed recollection of the incident, especially Chen Yidu's inner and outer clothing styles, colors, and even his tie, struck Huo Xiao as highly suspicious. He concluded that she was a pre-coached witness, suggesting that someone had deliberately arranged for them to find this witness who had rehearsed her lines beforehand.

At Ling Long, Huo Ruiyong, who disliked Li Weiwei's superior position in the company, used a business meeting to propose that Li Weiwei should shift her focus from the relatively mature bridal gown business to developing women's casual wear, arguing that this would greatly benefit Ling Long's entry into Fontaine Department Store. Provoked by his challenge, Li Weiwei declared that she would quickly make the women's casual wear department as successful as the bridal department through her efforts.

Chairman Huo then presented her with a challenge: if she could elevate the monthly women's casual wear business to one-third of the traditional bridal wear's sales within a month, she would be promoted to Senior Design Director, overseeing both departments.

Li Weiwei later discovered that she had fallen into Huo Ruiyong's trap; the company had no existing women's casual wear department, making the target an impossible task for a non-existent department to achieve one-third of Ling Long's original sales in a month. However, her loyal design team rallied around her, collectively proposing to resign from their current positions to join her in the new women's casual wear department, demonstrating their unwavering support.

After Cao Zhong's return to D. U. was approved, Li Weiwei playfully argued with Chen Yidu about his promise, asserting she had won. Later, Leo pursued Tiffany, attempting to convince her to let him stay at her villa, claiming he was scared of being alone after Li Weiwei moved out, and using the excuse that Tiffany had previously caused trouble for Weiwei by giving Chen Yidu incorrect information. Tiffany, however, found his antics tiresome and refused.

Li Weiwei, still harboring a playful grudge against Chen Yidu, tricked her way into his house. She then joined him on his balcony for drinks and conversation. As they drank a crate of alcohol, Li Weiwei expressed happiness about seeing "lovers meant for each other." Chen Yidu wondered if she was truly reverting to her old, loyal self.

When Chen Yidu finally needed to use the restroom, Li Weiwei revealed she had locked the balcony door and demanded he formally allow Cao Zhong to return to work at D. U. To gain permission to use Weiwei's house's bathroom, he begrudgingly agreed, and she took a picture of him stuck on the balcony as proof. Cao Zhong was welcomed back to D. U.

by his colleagues, and he boasted about his return, offering to share his "secret" of overcoming Chen Yidu in exchange for a feast of bullfrogs, crayfishes, chicken feet, and beer. At Ling Long, Zhen Ni received a large bouquet of roses, initially believed to be from Manager Huo for Li Weiwei. However, the card read "I love my little honey" and was addressed to Su Fei, sparking curiosity among her colleagues.

Later, Secretary Ou gave Zhen Ni a "flower that will never wilt," a decorative pin, accidentally pricking her in the process. He carefully bandaged her hand, and Zhen Ni expressed her fondness for the gift. Separately, Chen Yidu urged Li Weiwei to focus on helping herself, now that she had helped Su Fei and Cao Zhong. Tiffany called Chen Yidu, alerting him to a strange email sent to all company employees.

Leo, who was tasked with shadowing Tiffany for twenty-four hours to prevent her from disturbing Chen Yidu's one-on-one design tutoring with Li Weiwei, intercepted her. Chen Yidu, meanwhile, discovered the "strange email" contained embarrassing photos of him in the bathroom, sent by Li Weiwei. He chased her, and she claimed it was an accidental send, begging him not to hit her face. He then leaned in and kissed her.

Meanwhile, Huo Xiao received a witness, Miss Fang, concerning the Paris fashion show arson case. However, Miss Fang's unusually precise recall of the perpetrator's clothing, down to the exact colors and styles worn by Chen Yidu, made Huo Xiao suspicious. He concluded that someone had deliberately provided them with a coached witness, part of a larger scheme.

At a Ling Long company meeting, Huo Ruiyong proposed that Li Weiwei should dedicate all her energy to the women's casual wear section, abandoning the already mature bridal gown business. He argued this move would make Ling Long more vibrant and aid their entry into Fontaine Bleue Wear Department Store. Under Huo Ruiyong's provocation, Li Weiwei defiantly declared she could make the women's casual clothing section as successful as bridal gowns.

Chairman Huo agreed to the proposal, setting a condition: if the monthly sales of the women's casual wear section reached one-third of traditional wedding gown sales, Li Weiwei would become the Senior Design Director of Huo's, overseeing both departments. Li Weiwei accepted the challenge. Following the meeting, Li Weiwei discovered that the women's casual wear section did not actually exist, realizing Huo Ruiyong had tricked her.

She lamented that creating a nonexistent department and achieving such a sales target within a month was an impossible task. However, her loyal design team, led by Su Fei and Cao Zhong, collectively decided to follow her. They submitted requests to transfer to the newly formed women's casual wear section, or they would resign, emphasizing their commitment to Li Weiwei. Her team then rallied around Li Weiwei in her new, rather bleak office location near the bathroom.

They assured her of their loyalty and expressed their belief that she would lead them to greater earnings in the future. Deeply moved, Li Weiwei thanked them and vowed to fight hard. Li Weiwei then approached Huo Ruiyong, demanding a budget for the new women's casual wear section. Huo Ruiyong refused, stating that company policy dictated capital be allocated to profitable departments. He suggested she, as an able person, should find her own path.

Faced with no funding for raw materials, equipment, or promotions, Li Weiwei felt desperate and decided to sell her collection of luxury bags to secure initial funds. Chen Yidu decided to give Li Weiwei one-on-one intensive design lessons for women's casual wear.

Learning of Li Weiwei's struggles, Tiffany, having seen the official announcement online about Li Weiwei's new role, scoffed at the idea of a bridal gown designer moving to a nonexistent casual wear department, comparing it to a luxury car manufacturer making tractors. She predicted Li Weiwei would soon be in for a show. Huo Xiao, worried for Li Weiwei, confronted his father, Chairman Huo, about the transfer.

Chairman Huo explained he intended to use the challenge to train and cultivate Li Weiwei, believing she could create a new profit source for the company. Huo Xiao angrily asked to go to the casual wear department to help Weiwei overcome the difficulties. Chairman Huo readily agreed, but on the condition that Huo Xiao must apply for a demotion to become the department manager for the women's casual wear section, with Huo Ruiyong taking over as Ling Long's General Manager.

Huo Xiao agreed. Li Weiwei decided to leverage Ling Long's bridal gown brand advantage, incorporating the design sense and trendiness of bridal gowns into casual wear design to emphasize women's individual beauty, with the slogan "You can be different." Chen Yidu suggested that to meet the diverse style needs of female customers, elements like knitwear and prints could be added to the design to make it modern and stylish.

Huo Xiao paid out of his own pocket to provide the necessary fabric and computer equipment for the women's casual wear department. He announced to the employees that he would take office as the department manager of the women's casual wear department from that day forward, and would advance and retreat with them.

Meanwhile, Huo Ruiyong finally became Ling Long's General Manager as he wished, but found himself with only Secretary Zhu and Kang Xing as his team, as other designers, upon hearing he would lead them, all backed out. The best way to learn design is to observe others' work, but fashion stores typically have a "no competitors" policy, and Li Weiwei's recognizable face, often seen on fashion magazine covers, made open visits impossible.

Inspired by people in mascot costumes distributing flyers, Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu disguised themselves as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse to secretly learn from other fashion stores. Huo Ruiyong, seeing the women's casual wear department's spirited resolve, plotted to block the toilet of their nearby restroom, hoping Huo Xiao and Li Weiwei would give up. Su Fei and her team decided to fight fire with fire. They pretended to be friendly, sending two cups of coffee to General Yong.

After he went into the restroom due to urgency, they locked him inside, making him endure the smell. Chen Yidu then made Li Weiwei set up a street stall on a skybridge with clothes bought from a fashion store, aiming to teach her customer communication skills and preferences. Unexpectedly, they encountered administrative law enforcement cracking down on illegal stalls, leading to a chaotic scene. Leo accidentally learned that Tiffany also lost both parents.

This shared life experience made Leo look at Tiffany with less mischief and more a sense of kinship and empathy. Huo Xiao invited Li Weiwei to their dollhouse to discuss work. Weiwei intended to explain about breaking off their engagement, but Huo Xiao interrupted, announcing that he had officially taken office as the manager of the women's casual wear department and had already resolved the funding issues by selling some of Huo's shares and investing them all into the department. Huo Xiao's kindness made Weiwei unable to bring herself to discuss ending their engagement. Later, while Leo was with Tiffany, he noticed someone had been following them the whole time.

As Leo and Tiffany were being followed, Leo, though trembling with fear, tried to protect Tiffany. However, Tiffany broke free from his grasp and swiftly confronted the stalker, beating him severely, leaving Leo utterly amazed by her combat skills. Later, after safely escorting Tiffany home, Leo gathered his courage and asked how she compared him to Chen Yidu. Tiffany laughed, stating there was no comparison.

She recounted how her first job out of college was as Chen Yidu's design assistant, a role she held for eight years. During this time, she witnessed D. U. grow from nothing, and they supported and trusted each other, forming a bond that felt like her only family. Li Weiwei found herself in a complicated love predicament, caught between a man she liked and a man who liked her.

She pondered why her preferences for men had changed so drastically after her amnesia. Her brother, Leo, then excitedly shared his own news, believing he had fallen in love. He described meeting a woman whose destiny felt remarkably similar to his and who possessed the strength to protect him. Li Weiwei immediately guessed he was referring to Tiffany, questioning if he had lost his mind.

Meanwhile, Kang Xing reported to Mo Fan that Huo Ruiyong had successfully transferred Li Weiwei to the non-existent Women's Casual Wear department. He assured Mo Fan that any minor mistake from Li Weiwei would effectively end her career in the fashion industry. Mo Fan was pleased, envisioning Chen Yidu witnessing his beloved Li Weiwei's downfall, which he believed would inflict "heartbreak" upon him.

Kang Xing questioned Mo Fan's deep-seated hatred for Chen Yidu, especially since they appeared to be close brothers and Mo Fan was already financially secure. Mo Fan then revealed a prominent scar on his wrist, explaining it served as a constant reminder of his unfulfilled vengeance and unresolved hatred, asserting that he and Chen Yidu could only be "good buddies" in a next lifetime.

In a separate development, Ou Ye informed Huo Xiao that the French detective agency had discovered a large sum of money deposited into Ms. Fang's bank account, the key witness in a past incident. The money was traced back to China, leading them to conclude that a mastermind was behind the manipulation of witnesses and was likely hiding close by.

Li Weiwei and her team in the Women's Casual Wear department worked tirelessly to produce their first batch of sample garments. However, Huo Ruiyong secretly entered the sample room with scissors, intending to destroy their work. Fortunately, the designers returned unexpectedly and caught him in the act. Later, Tiffany confronted Chen Yidu, demanding to know why he was helping Li Weiwei's new department. She reminded him that Ling Long's internal strife presented D. U.

with a strategic advantage, and urged him not to forget Li Weiwei's past betrayals. Tiffany warned that his unwavering devotion would only expose his weaknesses and make him vulnerable to Li Weiwei. Chen Yidu cut her short, stating that while they were once competitors, Li Weiwei was now "his woman," and Tiffany would always be his "best working partner." Leo, having decided to pursue Tiffany, proposed a "strategic cooperation" to Chen Yidu.

He promised that if Chen Yidu helped him win Tiffany, he would ensure a relentless pursuit of Li Weiwei for Chen Yidu. Meanwhile, Mo Fan met with Tiffany. He cunningly fanned her resentment towards Chen Yidu, emphasizing his infatuation with Li Weiwei and his efforts to aid Ling Long's Women's Casual Wear department. Mo Fan expressed his hope that Tiffany would step forward, as only she had the ability to turn the tide, successfully inciting her to take action.

Leo, continuing his pursuit of Tiffany, followed her and observed her meeting with a tattooed man in a park. Leo, mistakenly believing Tiffany liked tattooed people, even drew one on his own chest with an eyeliner, which Tiffany saw through instantly. Leo discreetly obtained the tattooed man's phone number from Tiffany's phone and called him, pretending to be Tiffany's boyfriend, to gauge the situation.

The tattooed man, however, bluntly stated that he was simply being paid to perform tasks for Tiffany and did not chat beyond the job, leaving Leo bewildered about Tiffany's true intentions.

Chen Yidu declined Li Weiwei's invitation to her Ling Long Women's Casual Wear New Product Launch, explaining he had an important client meeting. When Li Weiwei pressed him, he revealed his concern that his presence at the show might cause unnecessary misunderstandings among reporters and raise suspicions from Huo Xiao, potentially disrupting the important event.

Huo Xiao told Ou Ye that his flower house might never be given to Li Weiwei, as she wanted to "talk seriously" after the launch, and he had a feeling it was "something he didn't want to hear." Ou Ye passionately encouraged Huo Xiao not to give up, telling him that "if he was a man, he must immediately win Li Weiwei back."

Meanwhile, Mo Fan met with Tiffany, expressing concern that Chen Yidu was infatuated with Li Weiwei and was now helping Ling Long's women's casual wear department. Mo Fan urged Tiffany to take action, stating that only she had the ability to turn the tide. Tiffany agreed to act and subsequently made a phone call, requesting someone to use "unusual tactics" to resolve a problem. Leo continued to pursue Tiffany.

He followed her and observed her talking to a tattooed man in the park. Misinterpreting her interest, Leo drew a fake tattoo on his chest, which Tiffany immediately noticed and identified as drawn with "Fanxishop Oil Cleanser." Later, Leo secretly obtained the tattooed man's phone number from Tiffany's phone and called him, pretending to be her boyfriend, but the man rudely stated he only takes money for work and doesn't chat.

Tiffany continued to harshly reject Leo, telling him he was too young, not her type, and accusing him of imitating Chen Yidu, emphatically stating he had no chance. Leo later overheard Tiffany speaking on the phone with the tattooed man, who confirmed their plan to disrupt the Ling Long show once it began.

Realizing she was orchestrating something against his sister, Leo immediately called the police (110) to report that gangsters would be causing trouble, then rushed to the show himself. During the exciting part of the Ling Long launch event, thugs suddenly stormed the venue, splashing paint on the models. Li Weiwei, rushing from backstage to investigate, slipped on the paint and slid uncontrollably toward a marble pillar.

In a critical moment, Huo Xiao, disregarding his own safety, rushed forward and used his hand to shield Li Weiwei from the pillar. Due to Li Weiwei's strong momentum, both fell, and Huo Xiao hit his head on the stone steps, bleeding profusely and losing consciousness. Fortunately, Leo arrived promptly with the police, preventing the situation from escalating further.

News reports quickly announced the disruption of Ling Long's launch and that a senior executive had been injured and sent to the hospital. Chen Yidu, hearing this on the radio, immediately changed direction and rushed to the hospital. There, he found Li Weiwei attentively feeding an injured Huo Xiao, their interaction appearing intimate, which filled Chen Yidu with jealousy.

Chairman Huo also had a rare peaceful conversation with his son in the hospital, questioning Huo Xiao's deep love for Li Weiwei. Huo Xiao revealed he had loved Li Weiwei since he was six years old, recounting how she bravely protected him from bullies. He emphasized that he would make the same choice ten times over, stating that his love for her had lasted 26 years.

Chairman Huo, seeing his son's arduous love, decided to help facilitate his marriage with Li Weiwei. He arranged for reporters to interview them at the hospital, asking Huo Xiao and Li Weiwei to display affection to mitigate the negative impact of the launch event. While Li Weiwei was visibly uncomfortable in front of the cameras, Huo Xiao's affection was genuine and unfeigned.

Chairman Huo also reassured Li Weiwei that the incident was not her fault and asked her to stay and care for Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao's injury left Li Weiwei unable to say the words she had mustered the courage to speak to him. She also didn't know how to face Chen Yidu, resulting in an awkward silence between the two lovers in the elevator. Leo later confronted Tiffany, questioning why she caused trouble at the Ling Long show.

Tiffany denied orchestrating the incident and asked Leo to drop his unrealistic ideas about her. Despite her rejection, Leo embraced Tiffany, reassuring her that with him by her side, he would help her change for the better. Meanwhile, D. U. board members received identical photos of Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei on a date. They questioned Chen Yidu, as D. U.' s chairman, for being involved with a competitor and disregarding the company's interests.

Chen Yidu stated he was a fair and objective person and, as the founder of D. U. Bridal, would not do anything to harm the company's interests. However, the board members gave Chen Yidu an ultimatum: either break up with Li Weiwei or resign as D. U. chairman. Chen Yidu waited outside Huo Xiao's home to negotiate, with both men demanding the other give up Li Weiwei, offering anything in exchange.

Chairman Huo visited Huo Xiao in the hospital. Chairman Huo expressed his frustration at Huo Xiao's recklessness during the show incident, stating that his son had endangered the Huo family's future. Huo Xiao, however, defended his actions, revealing that his love for Li Weiwei began when he was six years old. He recounted how Li Weiwei had protected him from bullies, leading him to vow to become strong enough to protect her himself.

He affirmed that he would make the same choice to save her ten times over, as he has loved her for twenty-six years. Acknowledging his son's devotion, Chairman Huo decided to give him a push by arranging for reporters to interview Huo Xiao and Li Weiwei at the hospital, intending for them to publicly display affection to mitigate the negative impact of the ready-to-wear fashion show disruption. At the press conference, both Li Weiwei and Huo Xiao were present.

Li Weiwei felt uncomfortable in front of the cameras, while Huo Xiao genuinely expressed his feelings. The event was orchestrated by Chairman Huo to mitigate the negative impact of Ling Long's ready-to-wear fashion show disruption. Later, Chairman Huo appeared at Li Weiwei's company and invited her to dinner at his home, suggesting she postpone any other engagements. Meanwhile, Mo Fan orchestrated the leak of photos showing Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei dating, sending them to the D. U. board members.

The board members confronted Chen Yidu, questioning his leadership for having a relationship with a rival company's designer, placing the company's interests at risk. Chen Yidu asserted that he always separated his work and personal life. He emphasized his commitment to D. U. , a company he created, and stated he would not do anything to harm the company's interests. The board presented him with an ultimatum: either end his relationship with Li Weiwei or resign as Chairman of D.

U. Chen Yidu refused to give up Li Weiwei, stating that his relationship with her would not affect his decisions regarding company affairs and that he would never break up with her. The board decided to convene a board meeting to formally initiate impeachment proceedings to remove him from the chairman position. Later, Tiffany met with Li Weiwei, informing her about the trouble Chen Yidu was facing with the D. U. board due to their relationship.

She urged Li Weiwei to leave Chen Yidu for his own good, arguing that Li Weiwei shouldn't stand by and watch Chen Yidu sacrifice his career, and that a forced relationship would not end well. Li Weiwei, burdened by her conflicting feelings, found herself outside Chen Yidu's house, unsure how to face him after the public display of affection with Huo Xiao. Her apartment door then opened, revealing Leo wearing a face mask.

Leo complained that Tiffany's actions had tormented him enough, and he was seeking family warmth. He then playfully accused Li Weiwei of "asking for trouble" by publicly displaying affection with Huo Xiao. Li Weiwei expressed her distress, admitting she was forced into it and now feared answering Chen Yidu's calls. Leo's advice was simple: "apologize by getting flogged." Following Leo's advice, Li Weiwei prepared omurice and went to Chen Yidu's house to apologize.

He initially kept the door closed, pretending to be angry, making her believe she had truly upset him. After some cajoling, and as Li Weiwei was about to leave disheartened, Chen Yidu opened the door. Chen Yidu asked Li Weiwei to list her mistakes, and she, thinking he was truly angry, enumerated several, even offering to let him hit her anywhere but her face. Chen Yidu then kissed her, asking if she confused gratitude with love.

Li Weiwei firmly shook her head. Chen Yidu replied that if that was the case, he had no reason to be angry and was willing to wait for her, no matter how long it took. The next day, Jenny and other staff at Ling Long celebrated Li Weiwei's return to the design department, presenting her with a USB drive containing the video footage of her and Huo Xiao's "wedding" in Paris. Li Weiwei quickly placed it in her desk drawer.

Later, Chen Yidu messaged Li Weiwei, inviting her to dinner. As Li Weiwei prepared for her date, Chairman Huo arrived at her office, inviting her to dinner at his home to reminisce and asking her to postpone any other engagements. Unable to decline, Li Weiwei later excused herself to the bathroom at the Huo residence to reply to Chen Yidu, claiming an urgent work matter prevented her from making their dinner.

Her lie was immediately exposed when Huo Xiao called her for dinner from outside the bathroom door. Chen Yidu, disappointed, ended up having a candlelit dinner with Leo. During dinner at the Huo residence, Chairman Huo announced that he had consulted an astrologer for auspicious wedding dates and hoped Li Weiwei and Huo Xiao would marry within the year. Li Weiwei stated that she would seriously consider it.

Chairman Huo then presented Li Weiwei with a jade bracelet, instructing Huo Xiao to put it on her. He explained that it was a Huo family heirloom, traditionally passed down to their daughters-in-law, signifying her as a future member of the Huo family. Deeply troubled by her increasingly complicated relationship with Huo Xiao, Li Weiwei confided in Leo.

She explained that all evidence pointed to her and Huo Xiao having been deeply in love before her memory loss, making her feel increasingly guilty towards Huo Xiao the more she loved Chen Yidu. This guilt made it impossible for her to break off the engagement. The next morning, Li Weiwei was drawn to Chen Yidu's house by the aroma of food.

Chen Yidu, far from being angry, had prepared a table full of dishes to treat her, as she had missed their candlelit dinner. While at his house, Li Weiwei unintentionally answered Cao Zhong's phone call, only then realizing the immense pressure Chen Yidu was under due to their relationship. In an effort to make Tiffany understand the pain she had inflicted, Leo pretended to destroy Tiffany's own work, aiming to make her realize the anguish of having one's masterpiece defiled.

He then confronted her, telling her that no matter her grievances with Li Weiwei, she should not resort to such despicable acts as sabotaging someone else's show. Li Weiwei made a firm decision to confront Huo Xiao. She returned the jade bracelet, clearly stating that she loved only Chen Yidu and did not have romantic feelings for him. With Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu's relationship now publicly exposed through Mo Fan's planning, Chairman Huo saw the news and was so furious that he fainted, causing widespread chaos.

Tiffany informed Li Weiwei that D. U.' s board of directors had initiated impeachment proceedings against Chen Yidu due to their relationship. She urged Li Weiwei to leave Chen Yidu for his own good, arguing that he shouldn't sacrifice his career, and their relationship would ultimately lead to a bad outcome. Later, Li Weiwei visited Huo Chairman in the hospital alongside Huo Xiao. Huo Chairman, though out of danger, was advised by the doctor to avoid any agitation.

Despite this, he insisted on an immediate wedding between Huo Xiao and Li Weiwei, even picking the 8th of next month as an auspicious day. When Huo Xiao tried to resist, saying they weren't rushing into marriage, his father feigned distress, almost fainting again. The doctor quickly intervened, sternly warning Huo Xiao that further agitation could be life-threatening for Huo Chairman. Seeing Huo Xiao's anguish and considering his father's fragile state, Li Weiwei felt a deep sense of guilt.

Back in her office, she watched a video of her past wedding with Huo Xiao in Paris, concluding that her pre-amnesia self truly loved Huo Xiao, and she had a responsibility to that past self. Li Weiwei then met Chen Yidu. He, unaware of her decision, revealed his willingness to give up D. U. and go to Paris with her, wanting to escape their problems together. However, Li Weiwei tearfully initiated a breakup.

She explained that their relationship was too new, and he could find someone better. In contrast, Huo Xiao had loved her for seven years, and the Li Weiwei before her amnesia also loved him. She couldn't be so selfish as to build her happiness on the pain of Huo Xiao and his father, who had nearly died from anger because of her.

Chen Yidu was deeply hurt and warned her that if she backed down now, he would never forgive her, tearing up the plane tickets he had purchased for their trip to Paris. Tiffany later found a devastated Chen Yidu drinking alone. She brought him good news: Mo Fan had successfully convinced most of D. U.' s directors to drop the impeachment proceedings against him. At a D. U. press conference, Chen Yidu personally addressed the recent "secret romance" reports.

He clarified that the published pictures were indeed real and he was in them. However, he stated that the woman in the photos was a professional model who merely bore a striking resemblance to Li Weiwei. He explained that they had been in a relationship that had since amicably ended, and the pictures were taken during that time.

When pressed by a reporter about his relationship with Li Weiwei, Chen Yidu firmly stated that they were long-term business rivals, he greatly admired her talent, but they had no private interactions. With Li Weiwei having agreed to the marriage, Huo Chairman made a dramatic "recovery" and was discharged from the hospital. He promptly instructed his secretary to announce the wedding date to the media and invite them.

He also made sure to invite Dr. Wang, who had assisted him in feigning his illness, to celebrate the wedding. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao, still suspicious about the leaked photos, sought an investigation. His contact reported that the photos were sent to the TV station via express mail with blank sender information, from a public phone booth. The mysterious sender had overpaid for postage and remained silent throughout the transaction.

Li Weiwei, while reviewing design materials in a warehouse, accidentally fell from a ladder. The impact to her head caused fragmented memories of her time with Chen Yidu to surface. Later, Chen Yidu found Li Weiwei and insisted she come with him. When she reminded him of their breakup, he disregarded her words, threatening to publicly expose their relationship and make Huo Xiao a laughingstock if she refused. He then took her to Paris.

Once there, he used her phone to send a text message to Huo Xiao before switching it off. Chen Yidu explained that he wanted to verify a legend: that kissing before sunset in front of the Sacred Heart Cathedral would guarantee eternal love. He asked her to put aside all worries and simply enjoy their "last romantic moment" until morning. Under the Eiffel Tower, they shared a deep embrace.

Li Weiwei confessed to a persistent feeling of confusion about who she truly loved, expressing a wish to meet and fall in love with Chen Yidu first in her next life.

After returning to China, Li Weiwei intended to explain things to Huo Xiao, but he pre-empted her, saying she had only gone out to relax. He urged her to fully commit to work now, as the international superstar Fang Yalun's wedding dress design had been entrusted to their company, and Fang Yalun was giving him a headache, urgently needing Li Weiwei to save the situation. Meanwhile, Mo Fan visited Chen Yidu, who was visibly depressed after returning from Paris.

Mo Fan advised him to let go, reminding him that he himself had already received the Huo family's wedding invitation, implying that since the marriage was a done deal, he needed to accept it and move on. Li Weiwei presented sample wedding dresses for Fang Yalun to try on. Fang Yalun, in a highly provocative manner, harshly criticized Ling Long's highest-level designs as "exceedingly vulgar" and "ugly beyond belief," claiming they couldn't possibly complement her status as an international superstar.

Fang Yalun's assistant had also arranged for Chen Yidu to design wedding dresses for her, inevitably setting Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu up for another competition. Chen Yidu told Li Weiwei he had received her wedding invitation. As he would be on a business trip to Switzerland soon, he would send Cao Zhong with gifts.

He also made it clear that he would not go easy on her for this order, and wouldn't deliberately 'go easy' just because she was getting married. Huo Xiao confronted Chen Yidu, telling him to stop haunting Li Weiwei. Chen Yidu stated that they had already broken up and asserted that Huo Xiao was simply useless for failing to capture Li Weiwei's heart himself. As Chen Yidu's 'big brother,' Mo Fan had a heart-to-heart talk with Tiffany.

He told her that, in his opinion, she was not only Chen Yidu's great help at work but also the best choice for his wife. Tiffany, distressed, said that unfortunately, A-du (Chen Yidu) didn't like her. Mo Fan explained that while A-du was capable in business, he was 'one-track-minded' in love. Since Huo Xiao and Li Weiwei's marriage was now a 'sure thing,' Mo Fan hoped Tiffany could help Chen Yidu and seize this excellent opportunity for emotional investment.

After Ling Long's wedding dress designs for Fang Yalun had been revised five times, Li Weiwei sharply pointed out that Fang Yalun was simply nitpicking, essentially because she didn't want to get married at all. True to form, Fang Yalun also found fault with the designs later delivered by D. U. Seizing the opportunity, Tiffany then announced that she was already Chen Yidu's girlfriend.

Chen Yidu, not wanting to embarrass her, didn't explicitly deny it, which made Tiffany quite pleased with herself. After work, Chen Yidu went to a small shop he used to frequent with Li Weiwei for egg fried rice, and Tiffany showed up uninvited. Li Weiwei, watching everything from a corner, felt deeply depressed. She then pulled Huo Xiao along to a skewer shop for drinks to drown her sorrows.

She asked Huo Xiao if he was the person she had loved before, acknowledging that although she couldn't recall his name or appearance, she still remembered his aura and warmth. She lamented her amnesia, hating that she forgot what she wanted to remember and couldn't forget what she wished to. Tiffany took advantage of Chen Yidu being drunk and taking him home to create the illusion that they were living together.

Seeing Li Weiwei leave in distress, Chen Yidu questioned Tiffany's intentions. Tiffany smugly replied that this arrangement benefited all four of them. Li Weiwei realized that Fang Yalun was not in love with her fiancé, but rather with her assistant. Therefore, no matter how she designed the wedding dress, Fang Yalun would never be satisfied. Li Weiwei decisively proposed that Ling Long would withdraw from this order. Upon hearing that Ling Long was out of the competition, Tiffany mistakenly believed that her public display of affection with Chen Yidu had worked.

Mrs. Chen repeatedly sends messages to Li Weiwei, expressing how much she misses her. Li Weiwei visits her in the hospital and gently informs Mrs. Chen that she and Chen Yidu are no longer together. Mrs. Chen is shocked and deeply upset, struggling to accept the separation. She reminds Li Weiwei how difficult it was for them to start a business and build their lives together, begging her not to leave her son.

As Li Weiwei tries to calm her, she trips over a chair and falls, hitting her head. Suddenly, vivid images flash through her mind: Mrs. Chen falling down stairs, and Chen Yidu looking at her with a hateful gaze. A nurse insists that Li Weiwei undergo a check-up. While waiting for the doctor, a flood of memories overwhelms Li Weiwei.

She remembers Chen Yidu holding her hand, guiding her as they drew designs, and his promise to create their wedding dress, "Beginner's Mind," for their marriage. She realizes with clarity that the person she truly loved before her amnesia was Chen Yidu, not Huo Xiao. Disregarding the nurse's advice, Li Weiwei rushes out of the hospital to confront Chen Yidu.

She intercepts his car, almost getting hit, and demands to know if he was the man she loved before she lost her memories. Chen Yidu, initially surprised, responds by asking what difference it would make. He reminds her that Huo Xiao's father's life hangs in the balance, and she had already chosen Huo Xiao over him, even abandoning him and causing him pain. Distraught, Li Weiwei seeks solace at a familiar restaurant, drinking heavily.

Huo Xiao finds her in a drunken stupor and carries her out. As she regains some awareness, Li Weiwei confronts Huo Xiao, accusing him of deceiving her and insisting that she loved Chen Yidu before her amnesia. Huo Xiao maintains that he only acted to prevent Chen Yidu from hurting her again. Back at home, a drunk Li Weiwei accidentally scratches Leo. Leo complains that her actions have made him miss Fang Yalun's bachelor party.

Hearing Fang Yalun's name sparks Li Weiwei's interest, and she decides to join Leo at the party. Earlier, D. U. and Ling Long were both vying for Fang Yalun's wedding gown design. Tiffany, D. U.' s chief designer, proudly presents her work, publicly implying a romantic relationship with Chen Yidu to win the client, declaring them "serious."

Li Weiwei, working for Ling Long, confronts Fang Yalun during a fitting, asserting that Fang Yalun is deliberately difficult because she is in love with her assistant, not her fiancé. Ling Long decides to withdraw from the competition. Later, Tiffany learns of Ling Long's departure and assumes her tactics with Chen Yidu were successful. However, Chen Yidu clarifies to her that he does not reciprocate her feelings. Meanwhile, Leo frequently tries to flirt with Tiffany, but she rebuffs his advances.

Li Weiwei resolves to proceed with her wedding to Huo Xiao out of concern for his father's health, but she makes it clear to Huo Xiao that after the ceremony, they will lead separate lives. At Fang Yalun's party, Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu share a dance as the first couple. Chen Yidu tells her to forget the past now that she has committed to marrying Huo Xiao.

Li Weiwei retorts that while Huo Xiao lied to her, she cannot disregard his father's life. However, she holds Chen Yidu equally accountable for lying to her and deliberately stomps on his foot. At the same party, Tiffany tries to avoid Leo, but when fans mob him, she suddenly becomes possessive and protective of him. During the event, Li Weiwei publicly addresses Fang Yalun, expressing her envy for Fang Yalun having someone who loves her deeply.

She advises Fang Yalun that the most important thing is to find someone who loves her unconditionally, and that giving up true happiness due to others' opinions would be foolish. Fang Yalun is deeply moved by her words. Meanwhile, Mo Fan notices a significant change in Li Weiwei's personality, remarking that she has transformed from a shrewd "female demon" into a fearless and reckless individual. Kang Xing wonders if her brain was affected during her coma. Mo Fan instructs Kang Xing to investigate Li Weiwei's condition.

Chen Yidu discovered that Chairman Huo was feigning illness to pressure Li Weiwei into marrying Huo Xiao. He confronted Li Weiwei with this truth, revealing that her "dear Uncle Huo" was not ill and had colluded with Huo Xiao, using a fabricated sickness to gain her sympathy and force her compliance. Unaware of his father's deception, Huo Xiao vehemently denied Chen Yidu's accusations, believing Chen Yidu was lying out of jealousy.

The argument quickly escalated into a physical fight between the two men. Later, at home, Huo Xiao caught a maid discarding his father's medicine. The maid revealed that Mr. Huo had instructed her to throw it away, stating he was not sick. Huo Xiao angrily confronted his father, who casually admitted to the deception, remarking that there was nothing wrong with a man using tactics to achieve his desires.

Huo Xiao countered that he didn't merely want to "possess" Li Weiwei, but wished for her to be truly happy. Huo Xiao sought out Li Weiwei and confessed his father's deception, apologizing and pleading for her forgiveness. Li Weiwei expressed profound disappointment, telling him that he was once the person she trusted most, but that trust was now irrevocably broken. Huo Xiao then offered to publicly rescind their marriage agreement, promising to provide his father with a suitable explanation.

Despite the freedom from the engagement, Li Weiwei felt no joy, having lost a childhood friend and the person she once trusted and relied on the most. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao informed his father of his decision to break off the engagement with Li Weiwei, explaining that holding onto "a heart that has already left you" was not love but obsession.

His father eventually accepted this, instructing Huo Xiao to maintain distance from Li Weiwei, limiting their interaction to professional matters, and to let go of her in his heart. Ou Ye expressed concern that Li Weiwei might leave the company now that her engagement was broken. He highlighted the critical importance of the upcoming Wedding Expo and Ms. Cotillard's inspection, which would determine who would enter Fontaine Bleue Department Store.

He noted that Li Weiwei's departure would severely hinder their work. However, Li Weiwei then demonstrated with her actions that she would not leave the company. She vowed to lead Ling Long in a fair competition against Chen Yidu. The intense preparations for the Wedding Expo created numerous opportunities for Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu to interact. During this time, Chen Yidu successfully sought Li Weiwei's forgiveness, and their relationship rekindled into a tender and loving state.

Separately, Secretary Wang discovered a match between handwriting on company reimbursement forms and a suspicious express envelope, identifying Kang Xing as the prime suspect. His investigation revealed Kang Xing had been in Paris during a major fashion show and used the French name Lucien. Huo Xiao advised Secretary Wang to hold off on any immediate action. At the Wedding Expo, D. U.' s bridal show was spectacular, garnering significant attention and prospective clients.

However, Li Weiwei took the stage to announce Ling Long's unique event. She invited female audience members to become Ling Long models, promising to create the most beautiful moments of their lives. The crowd erupted in excitement when a woman in a wheelchair appeared on stage, looking stunning in a Ling Long wedding gown. Li Weiwei continued to experience a resurgence of past memories. When she encountered Dr. Li, her attending physician, he advised her to schedule a follow-up appointment.

Li Weiwei requested Chen Yidu to accompany her, but he appeared displeased by the suggestion. Meanwhile, Tiffany, having learned about Li Weiwei's amnesia from Leo, planned to publicly disclose it. She believed this revelation would force Li Weiwei out of the design world, giving D. U. an effortless victory in the competition for Fontaine Bleue Department Store. Despite Chen Yidu's attempts to intervene, Tiffany gathered the company's employees to make the announcement.

Fortunately, Leo swiftly intervened, kissing Tiffany to prevent her from speaking. Huo Xiao uncovered Kang Xing's allegiance to Mo Fan. However, Mo Fan proposed a partnership with Huo Xiao to collaboratively target Chen Yidu. As an incentive, Mo Fan presented Huo Xiao with evidence of Chen Yidu attempting to bribe board members. Later, Chen Yidu visited his father's grave, placing flowers. Shortly after he left, Mo Fan appeared, contemptuously crushing the flowers underfoot.

He spoke menacingly to the tombstone, vowing that his own parents were killed and his family ruined by Chen Yidu's father, and now Chen Yidu's father should open his eyes and see how he would destroy his son, Chen Yidu.

Jenny screamed upon seeing online news that Evans, a famous fashion designer and winner of the New Trend Design Competition for three consecutive years, had attempted suicide after being fired and suffering from chronic depression. The Ling Long design team discussed how terrifying it must be to fall from such a prestigious position. Sophie commented that only top-tier designers like Li Weiwei should worry about such a fate, as few could endure the devastating fall from their career's peak.

Old Wan recounted Li Weiwei once stating that the day her design career ended would be the day she died. Huo Xiao, passing by the design office, overheard Old Wan's words and seemed pensive. At the wedding exhibit, Ling Long and D. U. were preparing their displays. Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu, having recently reconciled, were interacting warmly. Later, Kang Xing, under the guise of helping Jenny with bridal gowns, gently wiped dust from her nose.

Li Weiwei observed this interaction. Kang Xing quickly explained he was teaching Jenny French for Ms. Cotillard's upcoming visit, which Jenny confirmed was true, mentioning she had translated documents for Li Weiwei in France. However, Li Weiwei surprisingly seemed to have no recollection of Jenny's French skills or Ms. Cotillard's fluency in Chinese, attributing her forgetfulness to overwork.

Unbeknownst to her, Mo Fan's subordinate was secretly observing Li Weiwei, noting her strange forgetfulness about things she shouldn't have forgotten, like Ms. Cotillard's Chinese and Jenny's French, finding it genuinely perplexing rather than an act. Meanwhile, Secretary Wang meticulously compared handwriting on reimbursement receipts with that on an express mail, leading to a significant discovery: Kang Xing was the biggest suspect.

Secretary Wang identified the culprit as Kang Xing, whose French name, Lucien, matched the identity of someone who had traveled to Paris during fashion week. Secretary Wang reported this to Huo Xiao, who instructed him not to act rashly. At the wedding expo, D. U. showcased its bridal gowns, attracting a significant number of interested customers. Just when everyone thought D. U.

had won, Li Weiwei took the stage to announce Ling Long's surprise activity: an invitation for women in the audience to become bridal gown models. She promised to make them experience the most beautiful moment of their lives. This novel approach garnered immense excitement, with many attendees, including a woman in a wheelchair, eagerly rushing forward to participate, creating a truly sensational moment. Dr. Li, Li Weiwei's physician, approached them and inquired about her well-being.

Li Weiwei happily reported that she was recalling more of her past, prompting Dr. Li to recommend a follow-up appointment. Li Weiwei agreed to schedule one soon, and Dr. Li expressed hopes for her continued recovery. Mo Fan's subordinate reported his observations to Mo Fan: Li Weiwei's amnesia appeared genuine, as she had forgotten key details, such as Ms. Cotillard's ability to speak Chinese and Jenny's proficiency in French, indicating her memory loss was not an act.

Li Weiwei shared the good news with Chen Yidu that her amnesia might be improving, as Dr. Li had indicated. She asked him to accompany her to a follow-up appointment. Chen Yidu seemed unhappy. Leo called Tiffany, complaining of hunger. While talking on the phone, Tiffany discovered a photo of Li Weiwei in Leo's belongings, marked with "Danger level: 10 stars," deducing Leo must have left it there.

Tiffany, now suspicious, called Leo and invited him for a meal to confront him. She demanded to know why he hadn't told her about Li Weiwei's situation. Leo, realizing Tiffany had only found out about the forced wedding and not the amnesia, confirmed Li Weiwei's memory loss but urged Tiffany to keep it a secret, explaining that exposing it would destroy Li Weiwei's fashion career.

Tiffany, however, saw it as a golden opportunity to win the Fontaine Bleue Wear battle and reiterated her intention to expose Li Weiwei. Determined to announce Li Weiwei's amnesia, Tiffany began to gather company employees. Chen Yidu tried to stop her, but it was Leo who decisively intervened, rushing in and kissing Tiffany to prevent her from speaking.

After the unexpected kiss, Leo reminded her of his promise to retaliate if she harmed his sister, urging her to compete fairly based on skill rather than by exposing private lives. Tiffany, flustered, declared it was her first kiss and insisted he take responsibility. Later, as Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu headed to the hospital for her follow-up, Li Weiwei expressed her nervousness.

Chen Yidu admitted to being even more anxious, jokingly fearing she might not only recall his past bullying but also a substantial debt he owed her. During the consultation, Dr. Li outlined the plan for Li Weiwei's follow-up, involving tests for an overall appraisal. Li Weiwei cautiously asked if her lost memories might be gone forever.

Dr. Li confirmed it was a possibility, alongside the chance of a sudden full recovery, explaining that the medical field still understood very little about amnesia. After getting five tubes of blood drawn, Li Weiwei felt dizzy and anemic, prompting Chen Yidu to offer to carry her. Huo Xiao received a call, informing him that Kang Xing was at Hubing Garden, seemingly awaiting someone. Huo Xiao decided to go there immediately, instructing the caller to delay Kang Xing.

Mo Fan told his subordinate that he would handle speaking with Huo Xiao and instructed him to keep a close watch on everything. Mo Fan and Huo Xiao met, with Mo Fan questioning if they were "together" in their schemes. Huo Xiao directly asked about Kang Xing's purpose at Ling Long. Mo Fan replied that he simply wished to collaborate with Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao vehemently rejected Mo Fan's proposal for cooperation, threatening to expose Mo Fan's unethical actions.

Mo Fan retaliated by threatening to publicize Li Weiwei's amnesia, which would devastate her fashion career. Huo Xiao accused him of being shameless, but Mo Fan calmly argued for the benefits of their collaboration as businessmen. Despite Huo Xiao's continued refusal, Mo Fan highlighted their shared target—Chen Yidu—as a strong basis for partnership. Huo Xiao, surprised, questioned this, reminding Mo Fan that Chen Yidu was his best friend.

Mo Fan grimly replied that often, the one to stab you in the back is your closest friend. To demonstrate his sincerity, Mo Fan offered Huo Xiao a "big gift": evidence of Chen Yidu bribing the board of directors. Mo Fan then presented Huo Xiao with a stark choice: collaborate with him to separate Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei to achieve their respective goals, or allow Mo Fan to expose Li Weiwei's amnesia and destroy her reputation.

Chen Yidu visited his father, Chen Liwei’s, tomb, expressing how much he missed him. He shared that he had overcome the hardest times in his life and was now very happy with someone he intended to hold onto and treasure dearly. After Chen Yidu departed, Mo Fan arrived at the tomb. He crushed the flowers left by Chen Yidu and declared his parents were killed, and his family destroyed, by Chen Liwei.

He vowed that Chen Liwei would witness him destroy his son, Chen Yidu, in retaliation. News reports announced Ms. Cotillard, president of Fontaine Department Store, had arrived in China for a month-long observation period, signaling a renewed battle between Ling Long and D. U. Ms. Cotillard greeted everyone upon her arrival, and Huo Lei Yong warmly welcomed her to Ling Long, expressing the company's honor.

Ms. Cotillard reciprocated, stating her admiration for China and the wisdom of its fashion industry, confidently predicting a perfect trip. At the media conference, the host formally welcomed Ms. Cotillard, emphasizing Ling Long's honor in hosting her. He then announced Ling Long's special "surprise" intended to make Ms. Cotillard's trip to China happy and perfect, directing everyone's attention to the conference room entrance.

Huo Xiao entered the room, carrying flowers, and knelt before Li Weiwei, asking for her hand in marriage. A flashback revealed their past conversation where Li Weiwei had previously rejected him, stating she only saw him as a friend and couldn't marry him despite his love. During that past conversation, Huo Xiao had shown her a file, subtly implying it contained damaging information related to Chen Yidu, thereby coercing her.

In the present, Li Weiwei, under duress, accepted his proposal with a subdued "I will." When a reporter questioned why he was proposing again after their engagement in Paris, Huo Xiao explained that Li Weiwei had proposed to him there. He felt it was his turn, as a man, to take the initiative and make a solemn proposal in such an important setting.

He thanked everyone for their blessings and announced their wedding would take place on the 8th of the following month at the Hotel Unicorn, inviting all industry colleagues and media to share in their happiness. The host then thanked everyone for their blessings and proceeded to detail Ms. Cotillard's schedule in China. Back home, Leo, confused, sought answers from Li Weiwei.

Li Weiwei dramatically explained that she was giving up Chen Yidu for his sake, because Huo Xiao had taken out the evidence of Chen Yidu bribing the board members to threaten her. Otherwise, he would publicize it, leading to a huge scandal for Chen Yidu, his impeachment by the board, and D. U.' s stock plummeting. Leo could hardly believe that Huo Xiao, whom he viewed as Li Weiwei's fan club leader and eternal backup, would do such a thing.

He asked why she didn't tell Chen Yidu the truth, but Li Weiwei worried Chen Yidu might do something rash and preferred to bear the burden alone. Leo then decided to use a "roundabout strategy" to help Li Weiwei. Since she wouldn't let him tell Chen Yidu, he found Tiffany and told her the truth about Li Weiwei's situation, saying it was her turn to prove herself.

Although Tiffany initially scoffed, she couldn't bear to see Chen Yidu in such a state of despair. She told Chen Yidu that Li Weiwei had her reasons. Because of this incident, Tiffany finally admitted she liked Leo, and they officially started their relationship. Chen Yidu then confronted Li Weiwei to clarify the misunderstanding. He stated he was completely unaware of the board bribery and vowed to investigate the mastermind behind it.

Most importantly, he didn't want Li Weiwei to become someone else's bride over this fabricated matter. Although Chen Yidu suspected foul play, he never imagined it could be Mo Fan, who was like a brother to him. However, Mo Fan mused internally that the cruelest thing in the world was not never having something, but having it and then losing it.

He intended to seize everything of Chen Yidu's—his lover, his career—as he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Kang Xing then entered Huo Xiao's office without knocking, taunting Huo Xiao that despite appearing capable as a general manager, he was actually weak and couldn't even keep his own girlfriend, no wonder she was having an affair.

He warned Huo Xiao that Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu had now joined forces against him, and if Chen Yidu discovered the truth, Huo Xiao would face severe consequences. Kang Xing added that it was easy to get on the boat but hard to get off, implying Huo Xiao was deeply entangled unless he had the resolve to jump ship midway. Chen Yidu dispatched Cao Zhong and Tiffany to investigate the board members.

Their findings were similar: board members had received benefits and subsequently withdrawn their impeachment opinions, with some not even knowing who sent the benefits. Chen Yidu instructed Tiffany to issue a statement in his name to all board members, demanding those who received benefits to return the money and admit their mistakes within a deadline. Concurrently, he called for a board meeting to restart the impeachment case against him as chairman.

Li Weiwei accompanied Chen Yidu to lobby various board members, hoping they would support him at the board meeting. Despite their efforts, the number of directors supporting him remained less than those opposing him. In particular, a major director named Zhang Huai was highly unsupportive of Chen Yidu continuing as D. U.' s chairman. Li Weiwei decided to focus her efforts on Zhang Huai, confident she could win him over.

She discovered in his personal information that a significant portion of Zhang Huai's business success was due to Mrs. Zhang, who turned out to be a fan of Leo. Li Weiwei laughed triumphantly, realizing success had come effortlessly.

Chen Yidu, suspicious about the previously canceled impeachment, tasked Tiffany and Cao Zhong with investigating the board members who had changed their votes, believing illegal tactics might have been used. Mo Fan, the true orchestrator, confirmed that the bribery had been executed cleanly, despite Chen Yidu's emerging suspicions. Mo Fan later learned that Chen Yidu's investigation had yielded no useful clues and that Huo Xiao had been sufficiently provoked to remain compliant.

Mo Fan elaborated on his long-term plan to ruin Chen Yidu's reputation and career, gloating that he had patiently waited for this moment, recalling that a previous impeachment attempt would only have meant Chen Yidu losing his chairman position, while this time, if successful, Chen Yidu would be embroiled in scandal, suffer a ruined reputation, and D. U. would lose its eligibility to enter Fontaine Department Store.

Chen Yidu then initiated a bold move, having Tiffany send a statement under his name to the entire board. The statement demanded that any directors who had received benefits return the money and admit their mistakes. Concurrently, he announced a new board meeting to resume the impeachment proceedings against himself. Ms. Cotillard visited D. U. to evaluate its operations, learning about their recent production and sales.

When she inquired about rumors of his impeachment, Chen Yidu openly confirmed them, explaining that it was a testament to D. U.' s democratic values, where conflicts are resolved through open discussion and voting. He also mentioned that he personally led the preparation of this impeachment meeting and invited her to attend if interested, so she could decide whether to pursue a long-term partnership with him and D. U. after witnessing it.

Li Weiwei accompanied Chen Yidu in their efforts to gain support from the board members. Despite their efforts, support for Chen Yidu remained low, particularly with Director Zhang Huai, a prominent opponent. Li Weiwei decided to focus her efforts on influencing Director Zhang Huai. Concurrently, Mrs. Zhang, Director Zhang Huai's wife, was educating her husband at home. In parallel, Huo Xiao approached Director Zhang Huai with a direct offer.

He proposed that if Zhang Huai voted against Chen Yidu at the upcoming impeachment meeting, he would persuade his father to allow Zhang Huai to buy shares in Huo Corporation at a reasonable price. Separately, Li Weiwei realized that Mrs. Zhang, Director Zhang Huai's wife, was a fan of Leo. So, Leo, with Tiffany, created an opportunity at the pier where Mrs. Zhang was square dancing and easily managed to persuade her to change her husband's stance.

Kang Xing confronted Huo Xiao in his office, mocking his inability to control Li Weiwei and suggesting her continued association with Chen Yidu was a sign of betrayal, putting Huo Xiao in a precarious position if Chen Yidu discovered the truth. Kang Xing warned Huo Xiao that if he tried to abandon their alliance, they would target Li Weiwei, forcing Huo Xiao to continue their collaboration.

Huo Xiao was then pressured by his father, who had heard rumors of Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu reuniting, to proceed with his marriage plans as the heir to the Huo family. Driven to desperation, Huo Xiao threatened Chen Yidu, vowing to expose Li Weiwei's amnesia if Chen Yidu didn't leave her. Chen Yidu, horrified, accused Huo Xiao of losing his mind and questioned how he could harm Weiwei.

Huo Xiao chillingly responded that if he couldn't get Li Weiwei back from Chen Yidu, he would destroy her. Seeking clarity, Chen Yidu asked Tiffany a hypothetical question: love or career, which would she choose? Tiffany chose love but clarified that a talented designer like her would be stifled if she couldn't design clothes, and moreover, if she wasn't a designer, Leo might not even like her. This conversation gave Chen Yidu a profound insight.

Steeling himself, Chen Yidu courageously broke up with Li Weiwei. He explained that he loved the Li Weiwei from seven years ago, and her current amnesia was temporary. He feared that upon the return of her memories, she would resent him even more, and he would lose her once again, concluding that something that had no result seven years ago, trying it again seven years later, would only make them heartbroken once more. At the D. U.

board meeting, observed by Ms. Cotillard, the voting commenced. Director Zhang Huai defected, casting his vote in favor of Chen Yidu. This led to a final count of six votes for Chen Yidu and five against, and Chen Yidu retained his chairmanship. Ms. Cotillard expressed her satisfaction with the leadership's decisiveness, while Mo Fan and Kang Xing, who had been waiting to see the show, were visibly frustrated by the unexpected outcome.

Kang Xing then forced Huo Xiao to continue devising solutions, threatening to target Li Weiwei if he failed. Later that evening, Leo and Tiffany returned home from a sweet date, sharing a passionate kiss at the door, when they heard the sound of Li Weiwei sobbing. Leo quickly rushed inside to find her watching the movie "Waterloo Bridge," tearfully eating takeout omelet rice, her makeup smudged from crying. Upon questioning, Li Weiwei confirmed through her tears that she had just gone through a breakup.

After Chen Yidu ended their relationship, Leo and Tiffany, returning from a sweet date, heard Li Weiwei crying uncontrollably at home. Leo rushed in to comfort her, and Li Weiwei revealed her heartbreak. Upon learning of her heartbreak, Leo was furious at Chen Yidu's actions, but Li Weiwei cautioned him against intervening aggressively. Leo and Tiffany then confronted Chen Yidu, demanding to know the truth behind the breakup, but he only replied with "no comment."

They then pressed Cao Zhong for answers. Cao Zhong revealed that Chen Yidu had asked him to drive to Jie Xin Garden to meet Huo Xiao the previous morning, and Chen Yidu had been "not okay" ever since. Earlier, Li Weiwei had sarcastically commented on Huo Ruiyong's fashion style, which he took as an insult and vowed revenge. He later confronted her with numerous customer complaint forms, using them to find fault with her.

Huo Xiao intervened and defended Li Weiwei. To resolve the dispute, Huo Xiao voluntarily deducted his own salary, which finally appeased Huo Ruiyong. Tiffany concluded that Huo Xiao must have used Li Weiwei's amnesia to blackmail Chen Yidu into ending their relationship. Leo vehemently agreed, calling Huo Xiao a "beast in human clothing" for such despicable tactics, and vowed to deal with him personally.

Leo and Tiffany then split up; Tiffany went to speak with Chen Yidu, while Leo informed Li Weiwei of the situation. Tiffany directly confronted Chen Yidu, arguing that his decision to break up would only cause Li Weiwei more pain. Chen Yidu defended his actions, retorting by asking what he should do, should he just watch Li Weiwei become the laughing stock of the fashion world and be unhappy?

Simultaneously, Leo recounted the entire chain of events to Li Weiwei, who, upon understanding, had an idea. Li Weiwei then went to a place where she and Huo Xiao often met. Huo Xiao, having already ordered roasted chicken hearts for her, was waiting in high spirits.

She confronted him, starting by sarcastically praising his acting, then telling him she thought she knew him but now realized she had always misunderstood him, accusing him of using her amnesia to threaten Chen Yidu into breaking up with her. Huo Xiao explained that it was all because he loved her too much. Li Weiwei angrily denounced him, saying he was no longer the Huo Xiao she knew but had become a devil.

Li Weiwei returned home, crying profusely and with her makeup smudged. Unable to vent her anger, she could only cry, curse, and smash objects continuously. Tiffany and Cao Zhong continuously nagged Chen Yidu, hoping to enlighten his stubborn self to reclaim his happiness. Chen Yidu maintained his usual poker face, found them noisy, and left them by the roadside, telling them to take a taxi to the venue themselves.

The annual Clothing Industry Guild meeting commenced, with Ms. Gedia invited to attend as the awards presenter. Li Weiwei of Ling Long bridal wear was announced as the recipient of the "Outstanding Contribution Award for the Year." What everyone didn't expect was that Li Weiwei used her acceptance speech to reveal her amnesia, personally confessing that she had lost seven years of her memory due to a drowning accident the previous year, forgetting all her experiences since entering the industry.

She apologized for not disclosing this information sooner, explaining that while the amnesia was not her choice, her delayed transparency required an apology. This public revelation effectively eliminated Huo Xiao's leverage over her. After her announcement, Li Weiwei left the venue. Immediately after the announcement, Li Weiwei took a taxi and sped off. Leo exaggerated to Chen Yidu that Li Weiwei cried when she left, saying she had lost both love and career, appearing utterly hopeless.

Chen Yidu quickly hailed a cab and pursued her. Ms. Gedia confronted Huo Xiao, sternly informing him that due to their concealment of Li Weiwei's true condition, Ling Long's integrity was compromised. Consequently, she declared that Ling Long bridal wear would no longer be considered for entry into Fontaine Bleue Department Store.

Chen Yidu chased Li Weiwei all the way to a hotel, frantically running to the rooftop where he found only a pair of high heels by the railing, leaving him distraught and fearing the worst. Just then, Li Weiwei emerged, having played a trick to make him understand the pain she felt when he broke up with her. She confronted him, asking if he now knew what it felt like to be stabbed.

She warned him that if he ever dared to propose breaking up again, she had many ways to deal with him. Chairman Huo was greatly shocked upon learning of Li Weiwei's amnesia. Huo Ruiyong seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Though Huo Xiao detailed Li Weiwei's contributions, Huo Ruiyong argued that the single mistake of causing Ling Long bridal wear to lose its entry into Fontaine Bleue Department Store could offset any achievements, and no matter what, Li Weiwei could not remain with the company.

Tiffany and Leo were on a date, but Tiffany was deeply concerned and anxious because she couldn't reach Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei by phone. Leo tried to reassure her, suggesting they were likely enjoying some romantic time together, as he had "added oil to the fire and sugar to the honey," so she shouldn't worry, nothing would go wrong with them.

Li Weiwei also anticipated that after the day's dramatic events, she likely wouldn't be able to remain at Ling Long. Despite her memory loss, she felt an inexplicable, profound connection to Ling Long, sensing its immense importance to her. Later, Li Weiwei returned to Ling Long to thank her design team. She sincerely apologized for concealing her memory loss from them, admitting she felt truly sorry.

She shared that when she first came to Ling Long, she often thought of giving up, but it was their support that empowered her to persevere. She concluded by telling them that, in her heart, they were not just her subordinates or colleagues, but her friends. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao and Chen Yidu simultaneously sought out Ms. Gedia. Huo Xiao requested that Ling Long be given another opportunity, proposing a final competition between Ling Long and D. U.

to determine who would secure the entry into Fontaine Bleue Wear. Ms. Gedia then turned to Chen Yidu for his thoughts. To her surprise, Chen Yidu stated that if Ms. Gedia insisted on not letting Ling Long compete, D. U. would also withdraw, emphasizing his belief in fair competition. Back at Ling Long, Huo Ruiyong publicly announced Li Weiwei's dismissal. Sophie immediately accused Huo Ruiyong of fabricating the order.

Just then, Huo Xiao arrived and dramatically tore up the dismissal notice. He announced that the Chairman had decided to give Li Weiwei another chance, and Ms. Gedia had also agreed to give Ling Long another opportunity. The condition for Ling Long's reinstatement was that Li Weiwei had to design a formal gown that pleased Ms. Gedia. Later, Chen Yidu changed his home's passcode to the date of his first meeting with Li Weiwei at the hospital.

He then invited her to move in with him, promising to cook delicious meals for her every day. Li Weiwei wanted to eat braised pork. Chen Yidu asked her to go downstairs to buy soy sauce. Kang Xing, who had been lurking nearby, saw Li Weiwei returning with the soy sauce. He deliberately rode his motorcycle at full speed towards her, lightly hitting her and causing her soy sauce bottle to break. His purpose was merely to send a warning.

On Huo Xiao's orders, Secretary Wang investigated Mo Fan’s background. The initial findings stated that Mo Fan's parents had died when he was young, he grew up in an orphanage, was a university alumnus of Chen Yidu, met him through the Taekwondo club, and recognized Chen Yidu's mother as his godmother. It was unclear what deep enmity they could have. Furthermore, all records of Mo Fan before he entered the orphanage were missing and could not be verified.

After further investigation, Huo Xiao learned that when Mo Fan was twelve, his parents died in a car accident, and the driver responsible for the accident was Chen Yidu's father. Before starting the design, Li Weiwei was pondering Ms. Gedia's preferences and complained to Chen Yidu that she didn't even know Ms. Gedia's measurements, making it impossible to design clothes for her. Chen Yidu pulled Li Weiwei along, suggesting they go find the answer together.

They tracked Ms. Gedia, hoping to gain a better understanding of her preferences. Unexpectedly, Chen Yidu was spotted by Ms. Gedia, who warmly invited him for coffee. Li Weiwei, feeling helpless, ducked under the table to try and gauge Ms. Gedia's measurements. A slightly exaggerated movement caused her to accidentally touch Ms. Gedia's leg. Ms. Gedia misunderstood, thinking Chen Yidu was being inappropriate, and displeased, she stood up and left.

Despite this mishap, with Chen Yidu's support and guidance, Li Weiwei diligently worked on the formal gown for Ms. Gedia. She created a stunning, festive dress with a distinctive Chinese style. Ms. Gedia was pleased with the design but noted that it did not fit perfectly. Li Weiwei explained that one final tailoring step was required, and with remarkable expertise, she performed the delicate alterations on the spot, achieving an impeccable fit.

Ms. Gedia was profoundly impressed by Li Weiwei's talent, acknowledging that despite her memory loss, Li Weiwei remained an exceptional designer. She officially confirmed Ling Long's reinstatement for the Fontaine Bleue Wear competition, expressing her anticipation for their performance in the final selection. Li Weiwei returned home to a table laden with food, initially believing Leo had kindly cooked for her. However, after a taste, she found it almost unpalatable. Upon learning the meal was actually prepared for Tiffany, she quickly changed her expression and began to enthusiastically praise Leo’s culinary skills.

Huo Xiao received an update on Mo Fan from his secretary, learning that Mo Fan was orphaned at a young age and raised in an orphanage. He and Chen Yidu became friends in college through the Thai Boxing Society, and Mo Fan was even made Chen Yidu's mother's godchild. The secretary could not find any deep-seated grudge between them and informed Huo Xiao that all records from before Mo Fan entered the orphanage were lost.

Huo Xiao instructed him to continue investigating Mo Fan's background using other pathways. Li Weiwei was preoccupied with understanding Ms. Cotillard's preferences for an upcoming design competition, lamenting that she didn't even know her basic measurements. Chen Yidu suggested they find the answers together. They followed Ms. Cotillard to a coffee shop, where Chen Yidu invited her for coffee. While they spoke, Li Weiwei attempted to discreetly measure Ms. Cotillard under the table but accidentally touched her leg.

Ms. Cotillard, misinterpreting Chen Yidu's intentions, was offended and left. D. U. Company secured a major order for Malaysian-style wedding dresses. Cao Zhong expressed concerns about the risk of unsellable dresses if the order was canceled, but a persuasive salesperson convinced Vice Director Liang to sign the contract. Huo Xiao's secretary later investigated Robert Hu, the Malaysian businessman who signed the contract with D. U.

, finding his identity to be legitimate but noting that he had never appeared in mainland China, which was suspicious. Late one night, Chen Yidu received a call from Cao Zhong, who delivered the devastating news that the Malaysian company had declared bankruptcy. D. U. was now left with a huge inventory of unsellable Malaysian-style wedding dresses. Chen Yidu faced immense pressure, with board members bombarding him with questions about plummeting stock prices and D. U.'

s chances of entering Fontaine Bleue. Some even suspected Chen Yidu of colluding with Li Weiwei to defraud the board. Li Weiwei desperately tried to leverage her network to find buyers for D. U.' s dresses, but many friends either avoided her calls, claimed they were unable to help, or tried to take advantage of her. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao used his father's connections to find a Malaysian buyer for all of D. U.' s dresses, resolving Chen Yidu's immediate crisis.

He asked Li Weiwei to tell Chen Yidu that after such a big incident, he should reflect on himself. The news of the dresses being sold quickly reached the board meeting, resolving D. U.' s immediate crisis. Later, Li Weiwei bought supper for Chen Yidu and asked if he suspected anyone within the company. Chen Yidu admitted that without internal collusion, the company wouldn't have suffered such a significant setback, indicating he intended to "clean house."

He mused that the rival might not be a commercial competitor like Ling Long. Huo Xiao's secretary later revealed that Mo Fan's parents had died in a car accident when he was twelve, and Chen Yidu's father was the perpetrator. Huo Xiao instructed him to monitor Mo Fan's activities. Ms. Cotillard called a meeting with Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu. She stated that while D. U.

and Ling Long's annual sales were neck and neck, only China's leading bridal brand could secure a spot in Fontaine Bleue. At the meeting, Ms. Cotillard wore a gown designed by Li Weiwei, praising its exquisite Chinese style but remarking that it didn't quite "fit." Li Weiwei explained that a final touch was needed, and to everyone's amazement, she quickly and skillfully altered the dress on the spot, achieving a perfect fit.

Ms. Cotillard was deeply impressed, acknowledging Li Weiwei's undiminished talent as an outstanding designer despite her memory loss. She announced that both D. U. and Ling Long would compete in a final two-week bridal gown design contest, with the winner receiving a hundred-million-yuan order from Fontaine Bleue. Chen Yidu continued his internal investigation. The salesperson involved in the Malaysian order confessed to Chen Yidu that Huang Kai had taken him to a bar where he met Robert Hu.

Chen Yidu found it peculiar that the salesperson was familiar with Huang Kai, who was from HR. Both Tiffany and Chen Yidu decided Huang Kai needed to be investigated. Tiffany decided to personally track Huang Kai, but Leo, eager to see Tiffany, inadvertently interfered with her surveillance, causing her to lose Huang Kai. Chen Yidu then enacted "Plan B."

Cao Zhong and Tiffany staged a conversation in front of Huang Kai, loudly discussing a sensitive document about the mole and Vice Director Liang that they were supposedly taking to Chen Yidu's office. They then observed Huang Kai through surveillance cameras. As expected, Huang Kai discreetly entered Chen Yidu's office, retrieved the dummy document, and left the company. Chen Yidu, alerted by Cao Zhong, immediately drove to follow Huang Kai.

However, the mole proved too cunning and did not meet his contact, preventing Chen Yidu from identifying the mastermind. Chen Yidu later confided in Mo Fan that he was busy playing detective to uncover a deeply hidden mole in the company, whom he felt was using simple tricks. In their personal lives, Tiffany tasted Leo's cooking, complimenting it but gently suggesting room for improvement.

Leo, thrilled, vowed to cook for her daily whenever she was busy, to which Tiffany was amused. Li Weiwei discovered a table laden with food and initially believed Leo had cooked for her. After a taste, she almost gagged, only to learn the meal was prepared for Tiffany, causing her to quickly compose herself and praise Leo's culinary efforts.

After Chen Yidu's D. U. Corporation faced a major crisis with a failed wedding dress order, Huo Xiao stepped in, using his father's connections to find a Malaysian buyer for the inventory. Huo Xiao then told Li Weiwei to advise Chen Yidu to reflect on himself after such a significant event. Meanwhile, Mo Fan and Kang Xing discussed Chen Yidu's miraculous recovery from the crisis, with Mo Fan stating he had expected it but was surprised by the speed.

He believed they had created an irreparable hole in D. U. and would wait to see if Chen Yidu could reverse his fate. Later, Ms. Gedia announced a bridal gown competition between D. U. and Ling Long for a spot in Fontaine Bleue Wear, the world's top fashion department store. The winning company would receive ¥100M in orders. This competition was called because both companies' annual sales performance was nearly identical.

Around this time, Assistant Supervisor Liang, who signed the original problematic Malaysian order, pleaded with Chen Yidu for another chance. He explained he met Robert Hu, the initial buyer, at a bar after Huang Kai invited him, overhearing Hu on the phone about needing a top-quality wedding dress. Chen Yidu, with Tiffany and Cao Zhong, grew suspicious of Huang Kai, an HR employee, and decided to investigate him further.

Tiffany initially tried to follow Huang Kai, but Leo, unaware of the situation, interrupted her, causing her to lose sight of Huang Kai. Chen Yidu then initiated "Plan B." Cao Zhong and Tiffany orchestrated a plan to feed Huang Kai fake documents about an internal spy, leaving them in Chen Yidu's office. Huang Kai, under surveillance by Chen Yidu's team, took the documents and left the company.

Chen Yidu followed but did not manage to catch the mastermind, realizing the culprit was experienced and cunning. Chen Yidu then summoned Mo Fan, telling him he was playing detective to uncover a deep-seated spy whose moves were secretive and precise, but asserted that he was confident he would overcome them. Meanwhile, Mo Fan, realizing Chen Yidu was closing in, immediately called Huang Kai on his phone, instructing him not to contact him recently.

Shortly after, Cao Zhong found Huang Kai's and his superior's contact number. Chen Yidu dialed the number, and to his horror, the phone rang inside Mo Fan's locker. In a subsequent taekwondo match, Chen Yidu confronted Mo Fan, demanding to know why he betrayed him after all the trust and shared experiences. Mo Fan dropped his facade, revealing that when he was twelve, his parents were killed by a reckless driver, leaving him an orphan filled with an unforgettable hatred.

He then exposed Chen Yidu as the son of that driver. Mo Fan had vowed to make those who caused him pain suffer, and he admitted he never once considered Chen Yidu a brother, manipulating their relationship to hasten Chen Yidu's downfall as part of his revenge plan. Devastated by Mo Fan's betrayal, Chen Yidu sought out Li Weiwei. She took him to their original studio to find their "initial heart," reminiscing about their early days of founding D. U.

in that humble room, working tirelessly, securing their first award, and celebrating their successes. She picked up an old photo album, stating their stories were all recorded in it, and that they had overcome such difficulties back then, implying they could get through Mo Fan's actions.

Li Weiwei reminded Chen Yidu that they had overcome greater difficulties in the past and urged him to reconnect with their "initial heart" for the sake of many people's hopes, motivating him to fight back against Mo Fan. Feeling somewhat revitalized, Chen Yidu thanked her. Li Weiwei then urged Chen Yidu to return to the company immediately, anticipating that Mo Fan, now unmasked, would make aggressive moves.

True to her prediction, Mo Fan called an urgent board meeting, announcing that he had acquired forty percent of D. U. Corporation's shares, giving him equal holding with Chen Yidu. He asserted his right to chair the meeting and proposed replacing Chen Yidu as chairman, citing the company's poor management and potential failure to secure the Fontaine Bleue Wear spot. Chen Yidu firmly declared he would not relinquish his position and would prevent anyone with malicious intent from taking control.

Li Weiwei then sought out Huo Xiao. She explained that while entering Fontaine Bleue Wear was important for Ling Long, D. U.' s survival was at stake for Chen Yidu. She apologized to Huo Xiao for what she was about to do, and he offered his unconditional support. At a meeting with her team, Li Weiwei announced her withdrawal from the Fontaine Bleue Wear competition, entrusting all design responsibilities and cases to her team, including Su Fei.

Her team was surprised and confused by her decision. Seeing Li Weiwei's clear intention to aid Chen Yidu by sacrificing Ling Long's chances, Mo Fan told Kang Xing that Li Weiwei was clearly helping Chen Yidu. He declared he still held a "king's card" against the amnesiac woman to ensure that Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei would be forced to turn against each other. Mo Fan then confronted Li Weiwei, revealing that Chen Yidu was responsible for her father's death.

Li Weiwei immediately sought out Chen Yidu for confirmation. He tearfully confessed that five years ago, during a heated argument and their breakup, she had called her father crying. Her father, rushing back to comfort her, died in a car accident on the way to the airport. Chen Yidu also revealed that his own mother's permanent brain damage resulted from a fall down the stairs while trying to prevent Li Weiwei from leaving him.

He had kept these truths from her, fearing he would lose her again. Overwhelmed by the painful revelations, Li Weiwei told Chen Yidu that they could no longer be together. Distraught, Li Weiwei ran to the riverbank, with Chen Yidu and Huo Xiao chasing after her, fearing she might harm herself. As she backed away, her shoe heel broke, causing her to lose balance and fall into the river, once again losing consciousness due to drowning.

She was rushed to the hospital. Chen Yidu plunged into despair, believing Li Weiwei would never forgive him and that his hopes of a fresh start were entirely his own fault. Huo Xiao, equally heartbroken by Li Weiwei's unconscious state, found no solace in the fact that she now knew the truth and would not reconcile with Chen Yidu.

Later, as Leo sat bored in Li Weiwei's hospital room, secretly eating dried mango, Li Weiwei suddenly spoke, scolding him for his snack habits and recalling his exact body measurements from when he was fifteen. Leo instantly realized that her memory had fully returned.

After regaining all her memories, Li Weiwei, now awake in her hospital room, discovered her assistant, Leo, secretly eating dried mangoes. She immediately began scolding him, remarking on his weight gain and accurately recalling his exact body measurements from when he was fifteen years old. This unexpected detail startled Leo, who immediately realized her memory had fully returned. Huo Xiao repeatedly asked Li Weiwei if she had truly remembered everything.

Li Weiwei confirmed it, stating that the person standing before him was no longer the twenty-three-year-old naive girl, but a thirty-year-old "she-devil." She affirmed that she would uphold their wedding agreement, insisting she would not renege on her word. She announced that she had already instructed Leo to complete her discharge paperwork, eager to return to Ling Long and dedicate herself to the Fontaine department store PK competition.

She declared this was not only for the company but also for her personal brand, and she would not fail this time. Tiffany expressed her concern to Chen Yidu, asking if Li Weiwei had transformed back into her former "she-devil" persona now that her memories were restored.

Chen Yidu dejectedly stated that his attempt at a fresh start with Li Weiwei had been a mistake, and with her memory returned, it was time for everything to revert to its proper place. Meanwhile, Mo Fan, upon hearing the news of Li Weiwei's memory recovery, celebrated.

He viewed her as a potential ally against Chen Yidu, declaring that an enemy's enemy is a friend, and he intended to use Li Weiwei as a "blade" to strike at Chen Yidu's heart. Cao Zhong and Tiffany presented a dire report to Chen Yidu, stating that D. U.' s operations were again experiencing problems, with significant liquidity pressure. They detailed a severe inventory backlog caused by numerous returned large orders, and aggressive demands for payments from suppliers.

The crucial Fontaine PK competition was imminent, and these difficulties were being temporarily concealed from Ms. Cotillard. Mo Fan arrived uninvited, declaring that only by winning the competition could D. U. turn the tide. Chen Yidu suspected this was a new ploy from Mo Fan. Mo Fan clarified that his purpose was merely to defeat Chen Yidu, not to destroy D. U. , as he was now a major shareholder and didn't want his investment to go to waste.

Upon returning to Ling Long, Li Weiwei immediately resumed her stern, authoritarian demeanor, reminiscent of her "she-devil" days. Even Huo Ruiyong felt a shiver down his spine, believing her gaze could kill. The day of the PK competition arrived, and the venue was bustling with activity. Both D. U. and Ling Long companies moved their creations into the hall. News media had also arrived early, eager to report the competition results promptly.

Everyone eagerly awaited to see what kind of sparks would fly between Ling Long's design director Li Weiwei and D. U.' s president Chen Yidu, once a loving couple, now business rivals. As the competition commenced, Mo Fan was not content to merely observe. He made a phone call, instructing Kang Xing to initiate their plan. Following these orders, Kang Xing arranged for an accomplice to infiltrate the PK competition venue, posing as staff, to tamper with the finale piece.

Meanwhile, Huo Xiao met Mo Fan, who handed him an envelope, calling its contents "the pass to send Chen Yidu to hell." Mo Fan insisted that Li Weiwei personally deliver these materials to Ms. Cotillard. Huo Xiao hesitated. Mo Fan then coldly mocked him, stating that if he were to be soft-hearted now, he wouldn't have been so ruthless to Chen Yidu five years ago, snatching away Chen Yidu's life-saving orders and his beloved woman.

Huo Xiao felt his privacy was completely exposed to Mo Fan, who warned him that they were now on an irreversible "fast track" where they either crushed their opponent or faced destruction themselves. Huo Xiao arranged a meal with Ms. Cotillard under Li Weiwei's name. Li Weiwei presented Ms. Cotillard with materials from a third-party company outlining Ling Long's advantages, hoping it would assist their entry into Fontaine.

However, she was unaware that Huo Xiao had secretly replaced these materials with incriminating revelations about D. U.' s operational problems. The final PK show began, captivating the audience with a series of stunning designs. However, when Ling Long's highly anticipated finale piece was unveiled, the expressions of the industry insiders quickly changed. They recognized it as D. U.' s signature product from the previous season. The media, seizing the opportunity, swarmed Li Weiwei, who vehemently denied the accusations of plagiarism.

During the final presentation of the Fontaine Bleue Wear PK Competition, Ms. Cotillard declared that plagiarism is a shameful act, but the true culprit was D. U. , not Ling Long. She presented a report received before the show, stating that D. U. had not only concealed its poor operational status but also resorted to despicable acts, tampering with Ling Long's gowns to frame them.

Ms. Cotillard praised Li Weiwei as an honest and rigorous designer, asserting that Fontaine Bleue Wear only partners with trustworthy companies. Consequently, Ling Long was announced as the winner of the right to be featured in Fontaine Bleue Wear Department Store. Immediately after the announcement, Mo Fan called Huo Xiao, expressing his gratitude for Huo Xiao's cooperation, which ensured the perfect execution of their plan. Meanwhile, Chen Yidu left the venue, with Li Weiwei close behind.

She confronted him, demanding to know how he could treat her like this. Chen Yidu offered no explanation, and Li Weiwei, believing he was behind a malicious scheme to frame her, slapped him in her sadness. Chen Yidu, in turn, told her never to appear before him again. Later, Cao Zhong questioned Chen Yidu, asking why he admitted guilt when he was clearly framed.

Chen Yidu replied that if someone had worked so hard to frame him, he would help them succeed. Chen Yidu remained firm in his decision. Mo Fan then convened a board meeting at D. U. , demanding Chen Yidu's resignation as chairman. The directors supported Mo Fan, citing an ongoing investigation by the Fashion Industry Association into Chen Yidu, and expressing concern that his continued presence would drag the company down.

Without hesitation, Chen Yidu produced a pre-drafted share transfer agreement, announcing his unconditional transfer of 41% of D. U.' s shares to Mo Fan for free, making Mo Fan the largest shareholder. He explained that this fulfilled his earlier promise that Mo Fan could take anything of his. Chen Yidu expressed hope that Mo Fan would let go of his hatred and manage the company well.

However, Chen Yidu's easy capitulation left Mo Fan devoid of any pleasure from his revenge. Mo Fan's true desire was to get back his parents, his childhood, and a sincere apology, not just the company. Frustrated by Chen Yidu's lack of struggle, Mo Fan decided not to let him off easily. Mo Fan decided to ensure Chen Yidu's suffering. He visited Ling Long and revealed to Li Weiwei that Ling Long's bridal gowns were not swapped by Chen Yidu.

He confessed that the entire scheme was orchestrated by him and an insider at Ling Long—someone Li Weiwei knew very well and was close to, and without whom his plan would not have gone so smoothly. Li Weiwei declared that whatever Mo Fan's purpose, she would not let him succeed, but Mo Fan advised her not to be so certain. News reports soon circulated about the Fontaine Bleue Wear PK Competition case. D. U.

Chairman Chen Yidu, unable to withstand the immense pressure, announced his resignation from his position and unconditionally transferred all his shares in D. U. to mitigate the scandal's impact. He also admitted to all the accusations. Industry experts speculated that if the allegations were proven true, he faced being permanently blacklisted from the fashion industry, marking the end of the renowned design genius's career.

Realizing that Chen Yidu had taken the fall for her, Li Weiwei went to his home, crying and pleading for him to open the door. By the time he did, she was gone. Huo Xiao, meanwhile, had located the individual who swapped the wedding dresses and convinced him to testify against Mo Fan. However, the witness later retracted his statement, as the entire situation was orchestrated by Mo Fan. Li Weiwei left a letter and disappeared.

Leo, distraught, confronted Huo Xiao at the company, physically assaulting him. Chen Yidu, equally heartbroken, wandered the streets, desperately calling out for Weiwei. At that moment, a news report on a large screen in the city center announced a dramatic turn in the Fontaine Bleue Wear case: Li Weiwei had come forward, confessing that she alone had orchestrated all the accusations against Chen Yidu.

Due to the severe nature of the incident, the Fashion Industry Association imposed a lifetime ban on her from the industry. A year passed. Ling Long hired a new Design Director, Zhang Yang, who was immediately given a cold shoulder by the design department staff. Seeing the crazy colleagues, Zhang Yang was scared and fled, advising Huo Ruiyong to find someone more capable, as he could not handle the job.

Huo Ruiyong confronted his team, including Old Wan, asking why they had driven away their eighth designer. Su Fei threatened Huo Ruiyong to tell Huo Xiao that unless they were all fired, Li Weiwei would remain Ling Long's only Design Director. Meanwhile, Chen Yidu's mother complained that Weiwei hadn't visited or responded to her WeChat messages in a long time.

Chen Yidu traveled to Nanxi Village, a place where he and Li Weiwei had filmed a reality show, to volunteer by delivering warmth to children and teaching an art class. To his astonishment, Li Weiwei, who had been missing for a year, was living there. Seizing the moment, Chen Yidu embraced her tightly, expressing that if fate hadn't brought them together again, he would have spent the rest of his life searching for her.

A year ago, Li Weiwei stood outside Chen Yidu's door, distraught, knowing he was innocent but having admitted to a crime he didn't commit. As Chen Yidu finally opened the door after intense deliberation, Li Weiwei was already gone. She had left a note, asking him not to look for her. News had spread that Li Weiwei confessed to orchestrating the previous accusations against Chen Yidu, leading to her lifelong ban from the industry by the Garment Industry Association.

A year later, Ling Long's performance had suffered. Despite hiring a new Design Director, Zhang Yang, the design team at Ling Long fiercely resisted him. They gave him a harsh reception, and Zhang Yang, intimidated by the eccentric team, fled, telling Huo Ruiyong to find someone else as he couldn't handle the job. Huo Ruiyong lamented that this was the eighth designer they had driven away.

The team insisted that only Li Weiwei was their true Design Director, with Sophie threatening Huo Ruiyong to tell Huo Xiao that unless they were all fired, Li Weiwei was the only design director Ling Long would have. They acknowledged her admission of orchestrating the accusations against Chen Yidu meant she couldn't be a designer, but their loyalty remained unwavering.

Meanwhile, Chen Yidu's mother worried about Li Weiwei, who hadn't visited or replied to her WeChat messages, complaining to Chen Yidu about her prolonged absence. During this time, Chen Yidu embarked on a "Going to the province to give warmth" charity trip to Nanxi Village, a place he and Li Weiwei had visited for a reality show. It was there he found Li Weiwei, who had been missing for a year.

Chen Yidu tightly embraced her, telling her that if fate hadn't allowed him to find her there, he might have spent his entire life searching. He informed her that he had established a new company called "Beginner's Mind" and urged her to return with him. Li Weiwei hesitated, fearing her ruined reputation in the design industry would only bring him trouble. Chen Yidu then gently embraced her and whispered in her ear, "He needs her."

Concurrently, Mo Fan had been eyeing the fabric patent rights of the bankrupt Shenghe Textile Company, but Huo Xiao had unexpectedly acquired them first. Mo Fan lamented that he had underestimated Huo Xiao, regretting ending their partnership prematurely. When he learned that Chen Yidu's studio had begun accepting orders, he instructed Kang Xing to start planning, unwilling to rest until Chen Yidu was utterly destroyed.

Kang Xing sought out Zhou De Qing, the man who had supplied the toxic fabrics to Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu six years prior, asking him to acquire another batch of raw materials and offering a reward double the original. Li Weiwei returned to Chen Yidu's studio, where she was warmly welcomed by her excited colleagues. She noticed the "Beginner's Mind" wedding gown prominently displayed in the most conspicuous position.

Meanwhile, Ou Ye, Huo Xiao's assistant, learned that Huo Xiao's acquisition of the patent was for helping Factory Head Wang's sick daughter. Ou Ye questioned why CEO Huo, despite doing a good deed, always pretended to be ruthless, allowing others to misunderstand him. Huo Xiao simply stated that while helping Factory Head Wang, he naturally had his own motives.

Huo Xiao's investigation into Zhou De Qing continued; it was known that after the toxic fabric incident six years ago, Zhou De Qing had rarely appeared and had hardly contacted relatives or friends for six years. Huo Xiao stated that Zhou De Qing was their only way to bring down Mo Fan, and he asked Secretary Wang to definitely help continue the search. Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu attended a private party hosted by Mo Fan as a couple.

Mo Fan, intending to expel them, was thwarted when Fang Yalun intervened, announcing that she had invited them and would serve as the spokesperson for the fashion brand "Beginner's Mind," designed by Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei. At the party, Huo Xiao tried to persuade Li Weiwei to return to Ling Long, but she refused, saying that her return wouldn't erase the past and she wouldn't work with those who framed her.

She also mentioned that the Garment Industry Association had begun a reinvestigation, expressing confidence that the truth would soon be revealed. Mo Fan approached Huo Xiao, attempting to win him over again by suggesting that Huo Xiao, who had been so good to Li Weiwei, must feel disheartened by her teaming up with Chen Yidu against him. He then extended his hand, seeking cooperation.

Back at the studio, Cao Zhong found raw materials identical to their previous ones, but at a nearly 30% discount due to a company liquidation. Despite some hesitation from Tiffany, she was swayed by the low price and signed to purchase the fabric. Later, Cao Zhong burst into tears, reporting that a batch of products destined for Japan had been found to contain excessive formaldehyde, leading to returns and an impending industrial investigation.

He realized the supplier had vanished without a trace. Li Weiwei, remaining composed, asked Chen Yidu if he found this situation familiar. Concurrently, news of Mo Fan's involvement in the toxic fabric case spread, leading Mo Fan to order Kang Xing to immediately send Zhou De Qing abroad to prevent the truth from being exposed. The studio's materials and finished products were subsequently sealed and taken away by the industry and commerce department for investigation.

Chen Yidu reassured everyone not to worry, believing the truth would be revealed. Huo Xiao, with the help of Secretary Wang, set a trap. Secretary Wang tracked Kang Xing and gathered evidence of his meetings with Zhou De Qing, reporting to Huo Xiao that Zhou De Qing's interests were closely tied to Mo Fan.

He then impersonated Mo Fan's subordinate and contacted Zhou De Qing, claiming Kang Xing had been arrested and that Mo Fan wanted to move Zhou De Qing to safety to prevent him from confessing. Zhou De Qing's disappearance led Kang Xing to report to Mo Fan, fearing betrayal.

Secretary Wang deliberately let Zhou De Qing overhear a phone call, leading Zhou De Qing to believe he would be sacrificed by Mo Fan as a scapegoat, and he began to consider his options for self-protection. Soon after Secretary Wang left on an excuse, Mo Fan personally found Zhou De Qing's hideout. Zhou De Qing, having decided to protect himself, confronted Mo Fan. Huo Xiao was already there, secretly recording their conversation with a handheld camera.

Mo Fan quickly realized he had been tricked and ordered Kang Xing to secure the evidence and witnesses. A high-speed chase ensued on the highway, culminating in Huo Xiao's car overturning, leaving his fate uncertain. Kang Xing retrieved the recording device from the wrecked vehicle and delivered it to Mo Fan, who, in his ruthlessness, decided to eliminate Huo Xiao to ensure his silence. Huo Xiao was rushed to the hospital.

Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu, arriving at the hospital, finally learned from Secretary Wang about Huo Xiao's secret investigation into Mo Fan and realized they had gravely misunderstood him. Mo Fan, repeatedly questioned as a suspect, remained silent and ordered Kang Xing to permanently silence Huo Xiao before he could awaken and testify. He assured Kang Xing that all incriminating contracts bore Kang Xing's signature, meaning only Kang Xing would go to jail.

However, Kang Xing was arrested at the hospital before he could carry out Mo Fan's order. With Kang Xing apprehended and Mo Fan now a fugitive, the police launched a full-scale manhunt. The "Beginner's Mind" toxic fabric case was successfully resolved.

Mo Fan had previously attempted to re-engage Huo Xiao in a collaboration, suggesting Huo Xiao might feel slighted by Li Weiwei's alliance with Chen Yidu against him. At Mo Fan's private party, Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu appeared as a couple. Mo Fan attempted to have them removed, but Fang Yalun intervened, announcing that she would be the endorser for "Beginner's Mind," a fashion brand co-designed by Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu.

She also stated that the Fashion Industry Association was re-investigating Li Weiwei's previous framing incident, suggesting the truth would soon come to light. Huo Xiao had hoped Li Weiwei would return as Ling Long's head bridal designer, but she declined, unwilling to work again with those who had harmed her. Meanwhile, Cao Zhong had found a supplier offering fabrics identical to the studio's usual ones at a significantly lower price due to a clearance sale.

Tiffany, despite some hesitation, signed for the cheap materials. News of Mo Fan's alleged involvement in the poisoned fabric case began to spread, leading Mo Fan to instruct Kang Xing to immediately arrange for Zhou De Qing, the key witness, to leave the country. Unbeknownst to Mo Fan, Huo Xiao was already actively investigating him. Secretary Wang tracked Kang Xing, documenting his meeting with Zhou De Qing.

Then, posing as Mo Fan's contact, Secretary Wang located Zhou De Qing and told him that Kang Xing had been captured and Mr. Mo feared Kang Xing would expose him, necessitating Zhou De Qing's immediate transfer to a safer location. Secretary Wang later reported to Huo Xiao that while Zhou De Qing had been located, his strong ties to Mo Fan made it difficult to secure his confession.

Huo Xiao emphasized the urgency, fearing Mo Fan was about to act against Li Weiwei, and they needed to move quickly. Back at the studio, panic erupted when Cao Zhong tearfully reported that their latest export to Japan had been found to have excessive formaldehyde, leading to potential returns and a government investigation. The cheap fabric supplier had vanished without a trace. Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu immediately recognized the pattern, noting its similarity to previous framing attempts.

Kang Xing, meanwhile, reported Zhou De Qing's disappearance to Mo Fan, expressing concern about betrayal. The authorities subsequently seized all materials and finished products from Beginner's Mind for investigation. Chen Yidu reassured everyone, confident the truth would prevail. Secretary Wang then intentionally let Zhou De Qing overhear a phone call, creating the impression that Mo Fan intended to make Zhou De Qing a scapegoat, prompting Zhou De Qing to decide on self-preservation. Mo Fan eventually located Zhou De Qing.

Zhou De Qing, believing he was about to be sacrificed, angrily confronted Mo Fan. Huo Xiao, having followed Mo Fan, secretly recorded their incriminating exchange with a handheld camera. Realizing he had fallen into a trap, Mo Fan frantically ordered Kang Xing to seize the human and material evidence. A high-speed car chase ensued on the highway, ending with Huo Xiao's car flipping over, leaving his fate uncertain.

Kang Xing managed to retrieve the camera and delivered it to Mo Fan, who, in a ruthless move, decided to permanently silence Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao was then rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Upon Huo Xiao being rushed to the hospital, Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu also arrived and finally learned the truth from Secretary Wang: Huo Xiao's recent actions, which had been widely misunderstood, were part of an elaborate undercover operation to expose Mo Fan's machinations against Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu. He had been gathering crucial evidence of Mo Fan and Zhou De Qing's secret dealings when the accident occurred.

A doctor informed them that Huo Xiao had undergone surgery but remained in a coma, his condition still critical. When Mo Fan learned that Huo Xiao might regain consciousness, he once again pressed Kang Xing to ensure Huo Xiao was "silenced forever" before he could speak. He cynically reminded Kang Xing that all incriminating documents bore Kang Xing's signature, implying Kang Xing would be the sole person imprisoned.

Following these events, Kang Xing was arrested at the hospital, and Mo Fan became a fugitive, relentlessly pursued by the police, ultimately leading to the successful resolution of the Beginner's Mind poisoned fabric case. Huo Xiao's vital signs eventually stabilized, and he was officially out of danger. His colleagues finally understood that his previous actions were part of an undercover operation, and they had all misunderstood him.

With the truth about the poisoned fabric case revealed, Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu visited clients and factories separately to stabilize supply lines, hoping to salvage previous orders and minimize the impact of the poisoned fabric incident. However, immediately after Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu parted ways, she fell into the hands of the treacherous Mo Fan, who took her to an abandoned factory.

Meanwhile, Leo, while trying on a suit, accidentally pricked his arm with a pin hidden in the sleeve, experiencing a strong premonition of impending danger, saying his sixth sense told him something bad and serious was about to happen. Chen Yidu successfully recovered an order, and when his phone rang, he was about to tell Li Weiwei the good news, but it was Mo Fan's voice on the phone. Mo Fan, having captured Li Weiwei, had no intention of escaping.

He chillingly informed Chen Yidu that he had Li Weiwei, taunting him with a cruel choice: save Li Weiwei and risk killing Mo Fan, thus becoming a murderer like his own father, or watch her die and live a life consumed by hatred. Chen Yidu immediately rushed to the abandoned factory where Li Weiwei was imprisoned, finally confronting Mo Fan face-to-face to settle their grievances.

He told Mo Fan that he had long discovered his issues, and the reason Mo Fan was able to so easily take over D. U. was that Chen Yidu intentionally let him. He originally thought Mo Fan taking the company could appease his resentment, but the paranoid Mo Fan believed that his parents' lives could not be appeased by a mere company.

Chen Yidu, unable to tolerate Mo Fan's twisted logic any longer, finally revealed the true story of the traffic accident over twenty years ago. He presented an accident report proving that Mo Fan's father had been driving under the influence and ran a red light that day, causing the collision that killed Mo Fan's mother and orphaned him. Chen Yidu further revealed that his own father had been the anonymous benefactor who funded Mo Fan's university education.

Mo Fan's actions were undoubtedly an act of ingratitude. Mo Fan, unable to accept such a dramatic turn in his life, pushed Li Weiwei towards Chen Yidu, then turned and attempted to commit suicide by jumping from a high floor, but he survived. After a thorough legal process, Mo Fan was found guilty of attempted murder, commercial fraud, and defamation, receiving a combined sentence of fifteen years imprisonment.

Huo Xiao eventually made a full recovery and was discharged from the hospital. Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei visited him, bringing flowers. Huo Xiao hugged Li Weiwei and asked Chen Yidu to lend her to him for two hours. Huo Xiao took Li Weiwei to a beautiful flower house he had purchased six years prior, which he had personally transformed into a blooming sanctuary because she loved flowers.

He explained that he had once intended it as a wedding gift, but now had to offer it in a different way. He congratulated her on re-establishing "Beginner's Mind" and reuniting with Chen Yidu, telling her that his love for her was why he could let go, encouraging her to wholeheartedly pursue her own happiness without any burden.

In a public announcement, Chairman Huo declared his gradual retirement from management, entrusting the entire Huo Group, including Ling Long, to Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao then outlined his strategic vision: Ling Long would reduce its traditional wedding dress business, shifting its focus to women's casual wear production. Additionally, the Huo Group would make a substantial investment in the "Beginner's Mind" brand, acquiring a thirty-three percent stake.

This decision, recognized as a huge profit growth point for the future of the Huo Group, was met with unanimous support from the board. In their personal lives, Cao Zhong and Su Fei celebrated their marriage and were expecting a child. With Jenny expressing some unhappiness, Ou Ye, encouraged by their friends, overcame his shyness and publicly knelt to propose to Jenny.

The joyous occasion of Leo and Tiffany's wedding saw Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei serving as best man and bridesmaid, where they somewhat stole the show. During the celebrations, they announced their own plans to marry in two months at the "Beginner's Mind" fashion show, fulfilling their earlier promise to walk down the aisle wearing each other's custom-designed outfits at the show.

Ms. Cotillard made a surprise appearance at the wedding, delivering a grand announcement: "Beginner's Mind" would officially be launched and stocked at Fontaine Bleue Department Store. She extended her heartfelt congratulations to Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei on their beautiful love story and expressed admiration for their invaluable friend, Huo Xiao. Chen Yidu and Li Weiwei, having navigated years of emotionally challenging romance, finally achieved great success in both their careers and their love, reaching a harmonious conclusion to their journey.
