Female journalist He Shan is invited to attend a memorial service for Fei Ke. Alongside her, five other strangers are also invited, each with undisclosed past connections to Fei Ke.

Regeneration Recap

Episode 1 Recap

All in Time Weekly reporter He Shan received a call from her friend Fei Ke, who said he had something to hand to her in person. He Shan immediately took a taxi to the airport to meet with Fei Ke. She did see Fei Ke at the airport, but unexpectedly, before the two could even speak, Fei Ke foamed at the mouth and fainted not far from He Shan.

Emergency responders performed CPR on Fei Ke and then took him to the hospital. Emergency responders asked He Shan about her relationship to the patient. He Shan did not say Fei Ke's name, and therefore could not get on the ambulance. Meanwhile, in her hand, she clutched the memory card Fei Ke had given her. She didn't know what this item was for, or why Fei Ke would give it to her.

What He Shan could not have imagined was that something shocking was happening inside the ambulance at that moment. Not long after this, He Shan went to work as usual and on an ordinary day received an obituary notice. The letter stated that Fei Ke had passed away due to illness, and a memorial service was scheduled for April 8th on Chong'an Island, the deceased's former residence.

At that time, the deceased's will would be read, which mentioned He Shan herself. On April 8th, He Shan arrived by car at the agreed-upon location for getting onto the island. The person who picked her up was named Liu Mo, the boss's driver and assistant, responsible for arranging everyone's passage to the island. On the boat, besides Liu Mo, who was responsible for driving, there was also a stern-looking stranger, a man named Cheng Hao.

About twenty minutes later, the three successfully arrived on the island and reached Fei Ke's former residence. Inside the house, a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair, Chen Shufa, was already waiting. Cheng Hao initially mistook him for one of Fei Ke's relatives. Two more people mentioned in Fei Ke's will had not yet arrived. While waiting, Cheng Hao extinguished Chen Shufa's cigarette butt and put it in his pocket.

Chen Shufa and He Shan, who had their backs to him, did not notice. Shortly after, the other two, Zhang Xuan and Su Qian, also arrived together. Zhang Xuan was more outgoing and talkative, suggesting they introduce themselves. Cheng Hao said he was unemployed, He Shan said she was a reporter, Chen Shufa said he was the chairman of Nanlin Mining with diabetes, and Su Qian simply said she was an ordinary person. None of the five knew each other.

Why were they mentioned in the will? And why were these five people asked to attend this memorial service? Liu Mo took them to the basement and asked each of them to share their experiences of knowing Fei Ke and other related stories before the will could be read. This inexplicable demand made everyone resistant. He Shan was the first to lift the coffin lid. It was empty; there was no sign of Fei Ke's body at all.

Liu Mo, however, left by himself and locked the door, stating that they had to do as he said to see Fei Ke. Since things had come to this, everyone tacitly agreed to He Shan's suggestion, deciding to genuinely treat this as a memorial service and each recount the Fei Ke they knew. However, the very first thing struck everyone as strange: the Fei Ke in their respective WeChat contacts were not the same person.

Chen Shufa was the first to talk about the Fei Ke he knew. According to his account, Fei Ke was not only his son-in-law but also a murderer. In the spring of 2014, Fei Ke met Chen Shufa's daughter, Chen Jiajia. After knowing each other for just half a year, they were already talking about marriage.

Chen Shufa did not approve of Fei Ke as a son-in-law, but since Chen Jiajia liked him very much, Chen Shufa had no choice but to agree to meet Fei Ke. The original plan was to meet at a Western restaurant, but considering that the food there might not suit Chen Shufa's taste, Fei Ke proactively suggested cooking at his home.

Chen Shufa and his daughter went to another one of Fei Ke's houses, located near the outer ring road on Songshan Road. Cheng Hao immediately confirmed the specific location with Chen Shufa, and then said that was not Fei Ke's house, but Cheng Hao's own home.

Episode 2 Recap

The house was on Zhanghua Road, the residential complex was called Yujin Haoting, and the unit number was Building 6, Unit 701. Cheng Hao knew it in such detail because it was his home, not Fei Ke's house at all. Chen Shufa continued his narration, saying that Fei Ke, whom he met for the first time, had an extraordinary demeanor and was so familiar with the house that it was hard to doubt it wasn't his.

Fei Ke also knew a lot about tea. The tea he brewed was first-grade White Peony from the first harvest eight years ago, made using traditional methods, not pan-fried or rolled, clearing heat and moistening the lungs. This gave Chen Shufa, who also loved tea, a very good initial impression of him. Fei Ke was very familiar with the house. He cooked a table full of dishes.

At the dinner table, Chen Shufa asked many questions about Fei Ke, including about the house, his car, and what his parents did for work. Fei Ke did not hide anything. He frankly said his father was a ordinary civil servant in the Administration Department of the Ministry of Land and Mineral Resources, his father's surname was Li, and his mother's surname was Fei, and he took his mother's surname.

His mother was a Master's supervisor at a 211 university, and she spent her days reading and revising theses. Chen Shufa had doubts about Fei Ke's mother, who was a ordinary university teacher, driving a luxury car like a Panamera. Fei Ke said it was a test drive car retired from his uncle's store, and he didn't usually drive it much. After dinner, Chen Shufa and Chen Jiajia were preparing to leave.

Fei Ke gave the tea to Chen Shufa, which made him smile from ear to ear. Although Chen Shufa was quite satisfied with Fei Ke, no matter how eloquently he spoke, seeing was believing. After this, Chen Shufa had someone investigate, and there was indeed a deputy director with the surname Li in the Ministry of Land and Mineral Resources.

A month later, both sets of parents were to meet, but Fei Ke's father had a temporary important meeting and couldn't get away from Beijing. Chen Shufa invited Fei Ke's mother to dinner, and they had a pleasant conversation. Chen Shufa's impression of Fei Ke's mother was that she was gentle, polite, and very cultivated. On the wedding day, because the inspection team had just entered Fei Ke's father's unit, Fei Ke's father was absent from the wedding again.

Chen Shufa had one phone call with Fei Ke's father but never met him from beginning to end. After Fei Ke and Chen Jiajia got married, Chen Shufa gave Fei Ke a card with ten million yuan on it, saying it was investment funds and hoping Fei Ke could help him make his idle money work.

Not long after the marriage, Fei Ke said he wanted to sell the house in Yujin Haoting and buy a new one, and this new one would only be registered under Chen Jiajia's name. There was a time gap between selling the old house and buying the new one. At Chen Jiajia's request, Chen Shufa agreed to let the young couple move into the villa to live with him first.

And ever since they moved in, Fei Ke made the house lively and prosperous. Chen Shufa also invested in several projects supposedly with good prospects based on Fei Ke's suggestions. But Chen Shufa later found out that Weilun Medical had already been listed, and there was no need for investment at all. Weilun Medical was located in Mingzhu Plaza. Cheng Hao said that was Zhao Xiaoyang's company. He Shan also knew Zhao Xiaoyang.

The weekly magazine she worked for had interviewed this person before. However, compared to the money that came later, these investments were just small amounts. At that time, the authorities began to strictly investigate mining permits. Chen Shufa's mine was a private one, and it couldn't be mined without a permit, nor could it be sold, as no one would take it over.

Fei Ke, through "arrangements," helped Chen Shufa get in touch with Yu Zhifeng, the head of Zhifeng Group, who could acquire private mines. Similarly, Chen Shufa did not meet Yu Zhifeng in person. They verbally agreed to sell the mine for 260 million yuan, using walkie-talkies that could not track call records, and the private room also blocked mobile phone signals. Using the excuse of making arrangements, Fei Ke took over 40 million yuan in total.

After he disappeared, Chen Shufa realized that Fei Ke was a complete fraud. Chen Jiajia couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide by slitting her wrists.

Episode 3 Recap

Chen Shufa returned to the villa, knocked on his daughter's door calling her name but got no response. Opening the bathroom door, he saw his daughter, who had committed suicide by slitting her wrists, lying lifeless in the bathtub, the water already stained red with blood. Cheng Hao speculated that Chen Jiajia likely showed signs of depression, but Chen Shufa, dizzy and exhausted from being busy at the time, didn't notice.

Another question was why he didn't thoroughly check Fei Ke's family background. He Shan said that Fei Ke precisely used this point to screen for people he could deceive further. If a person doesn't even check his background clearly, it means they are easily trusting, and then continuing with the subsequent deception becomes effortless. The reason Chen Shufa didn't dare to call the police was also because he was wary of all the secrets Fei Ke held.

After Chen Shufa finished recounting this, his phone got half a bar of signal, and then he received a message from the bank. It turned out Fei Ke had returned the over 40 million yuan he had defrauded. Next, it was Cheng Hao's turn to narrate what happened between him and Fei Ke. Cheng Hao was the Managing Director of the M&A team at Point Stone Fund, and his home was in Yujin Haoting.

In 2014, Fei Ke had been living at his place. Cheng Hao and Fei Ke met on a plane. At the time, because Fei Ke had upgraded his seat using points, the cabin crew only offered him economy class meals and drinks. Out of kindness, Cheng Hao ordered an extra portion for him.

Learning that Fei Ke had a background in materials science and was now working in finance, and that his graduate supervisor specialized in the field of lithium batteries, the two chatted throughout the flight and added each other on WeChat. The reason Cheng Hao stayed in touch with Fei Ke was that he felt Fei Ke had a special charm that made people feel like old friends at first sight.

They often hung out together, and afterwards, Fei Ke even borrowed a place to stay at Cheng Hao's home. Cheng Hao, a Columbia University graduate, often talked to Fei Ke about things at Columbia and nearby shops. The material Fei Ke later used to lie to Chen Jiajia about being from Columbia likely came from Cheng Hao.

Originally, Fei Ke was only supposed to stay for two or three days, but after that, he didn't mention fixing his house, and coupled with helping Cheng Hao with chores, scooping cat litter, and washing clothes, Cheng Hao gradually got used to living with him. Someone gave Cheng Hao a gift, which was a State Banquet grade White Peony tea cake, not available on the market. Upon seeing it, Cheng Hao said he would keep it for guests.

Later, Fei Ke took Cheng Hao's Columbia graduation certificate and the packaging of the White Peony tea cake to get identical ones made, which became the capital and items for his later fraud. Haiteng Xiao'an from the charity foundation contacted Cheng Hao. Cheng Hao asked Fei Ke to help decline the invitation, but unexpectedly, Fei Ke impersonated him and attended the charity gala, where he also met Chen Jiajia.

From then on, Fei Ke rarely came back, sometimes saying he had to work overtime, and sometimes saying he stayed in a hotel. However, Fei Ke started learning stock trading from him. Out of trust in him, Cheng Hao opened a rat trading account and used Fei Ke's account to trade stocks. The account name was Fei Ke, but the password was set by Cheng Hao.

Initially, Cheng Hao was still cautious, investing only small amounts and occasionally logging in to check the last login time to confirm that Fei Ke had not logged in. After a few times, Cheng Hao completely trusted Fei Ke, until one day, his business trip flight was cancelled. Upon returning, he found Fei Ke had prepared a lot of fruit, and there was a photo of Fei Ke and his parents on the table.

When asked, Fei Ke admitted he had lied to him, but what Fei Ke said was another lie. He said his parents were coming from his hometown to visit him here, and Fei Ke wanted to borrow Cheng Hao's house to deceive his parents. However, the people who actually came at that time were Chen Jiajia and her father.

Episode 4 Recap

It must be said that Fei Ke had really good luck. As soon as Cheng Hao left, Chen Shufa and Chen Jiajia arrived at the apartment shortly after. And one of them was getting out of the elevator while the other two were getting in, they just passed each other. However, Fei Ke's acting was flawless at the time, and Cheng Hao, Chen Shufa, and others had absolute faith in him.

Chen Shufa remembered that there was no cat in the house that day, so it was highly likely that Fei Ke had taken the cat out beforehand. After seeing Chen Shufa off, Fei Ke went to the stairwell to look for the cat, but the cat named Jinzai was gone. Fei Ke stayed in the residential area with food and water for the whole night, but he still couldn't find Jinzai.

To prevent Cheng Hao, who was returning from his business trip, from suspecting anything, Fei Ke went to a pet store to pick out a black cat almost identical to Jinzai and brought it home. After Cheng Hao returned, he saw the 'He Tianxia' cigarette pack in the sofa gap. Fei Ke lied and said his father smoked it, but it was actually a brand Chen Shufa often smoked.

Cheng Hao took out the cigarette butt he had picked up earlier and confirmed with Chen Shufa, and everything matched up. Fei Ke was good at using one person's resources to leverage another person's resources, carrying out fraud by exploiting trust and information asymmetry. One morning, Cheng Hao woke up to find only breakfast on the table, and no sign of Fei Ke in the house. At this time, the real Jinzai also returned.

The other one in the house was obviously the fake Jinzai. Cheng Hao immediately went to the drawer to get the U-shield, but when he plugged it into the computer, there was no response at all. Cheng Hao immediately took the U-shield to Chengjiang Bank and was surprised to find that this U-shield had no chip, which was why it didn't work when plugged into the computer. Just like that, Fei Ke took over twenty million yuan from the account.

During this period, Fei Ke also deceived Chen Shufa and his daughter, and successfully married Chen Jiajia. Out of trust in Fei Ke, Chen Shufa agreed to prohibit photography and videography at the wedding venue. That's why later, Cheng Hao searched online for information and details about Fei Ke in every possible way, but found nothing.

After finishing his story, someone knocked on the door from outside and threw in a card, which was likely the money Fei Ke had defrauded from Cheng Hao. Just then, a storm arrived, and Su Qian began to recount how she met Fei Ke. It was 2015, during a storm, and Su Qian was trapped at her company. Fei Ke happened to be an online friend of hers on the Green Island software, and he offered to drive her home.

The two added each other on WeChat, but the second contact was several months later. The second contact deepened Su Qian's understanding of Fei Ke. Afterwards, the two often went on dates. Fei Ke specially took her to an art exhibition and memorized all the explanations for her, making it seem like he was very knowledgeable in the field of art. Fei Ke also took Su Qian to Chengda University's Finance Club, where feelings quietly developed between them.

Fei Ke brought Su Qian back to Cheng Hao's apartment, and they had a relationship. Su Qian worked at Weilun Medical. On the day she went on a business trip, Fei Ke secretly took her work badge, swiped open the door of Weilun Medical company, and brazenly took Chen Shufa inside for inspection. Nobody became suspicious. After Su Qian returned from her business trip, she suddenly couldn't get in touch with Fei Ke.

She searched everywhere for Fei Ke and even knocked on Cheng Hao's door, but fate was playing tricks, she didn't find Fei Ke. Later, Su Qian met Fei Ke again. At that time, Fei Ke said he had failed in his investments and was bankrupt. Su Qian believed him implicitly and transferred three million yuan to Fei Ke after selling her house.

Thinking back now, rather than saying Fei Ke deceived Su Qian, it's more like Su Qian walked into a trap herself. When Su Qian asked to meet, Fei Ke sent her an address. Su Qian went to that place and knocked on the door. Inside, Fei Ke used a razor blade to cut three wounds on his arm.

Episode 5 Recap

Fei Ke used a razor blade to cut three bleeding wounds on his arm, lying to Su Qian that he had borrowed from loan sharks and that if he didn't repay, they would really chop off his hand. To make Su Qian believe him, Fei Ke played a voice recording of the supposed threat, but in reality, it was sent by Chen Shufa to Fei Ke. Fei Ke had previously borrowed three million from Su Qian.

This time, he took out an IOU and asked Su Qian to sign it, but Su Qian, deeply in love, wouldn't sign it. She said there was no need for an IOU between them. Fei Ke put on a distressed look, which made Su Qian even more heartbroken. She kept asking him how much he owed the loan sharks. Fei Ke painfully said he owed a principal of three million, plus interest, totaling eight million yuan including principal and interest.

Su Qian gritted her teeth and said she could lend Fei Ke ten million yuan. Besides repaying the eight million loan shark debt, the remaining amount would be Fei Ke's capital for making a comeback. Fei Ke naturally had to put on a show of refusal and pain, but of course, the final outcome would be acceptance.

Later, while her supervisor was out of the office, Su Qian secretly took the U-shield from Weilun Medical and transferred ten million yuan from the company's bank account to another account. She was almost discovered by her supervisor while doing this, but thankfully, it was a close call. After that, things went the same way as Chen Shufa and Cheng Hao's experiences.

After she embezzled public funds and transferred the money to Fei Ke, he vanished from Su Qian's life as if he had disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace. Cheng Hao pointed out the key: If Su Qian and Fei Ke's entanglement hadn't involved money, it would have just been a breakup at most. But Su Qian had embezzled public funds without authorization, which involved occupational embezzlement, yet Su Qian was not sentenced to prison.

When others asked about this, Su Qian only said she had a way to handle it. At this moment, the storm intensified, and the basement began to leak. Just as they were anxious, Liu Mo appeared and said the backup generator was broken. Everyone demanded to leave the place. This time, Liu Mo didn't stop them and said there was a yacht that could take them away.

On the yacht, Liu Mo said the remaining person, Zhang Xuan, had to start recounting how she met Fei Ke before they would set sail. Zhang Xuan's real name was also revealed to everyone. Cheng Hao and Su Qian had both heard Fei Ke mention Zhang Xuan, so they knew who she was.

Six years ago, Zhang Xuan was a student in the dance department of Chengjiang Institute of Technology, but she dropped out after being with Fei Ke for six months. The reason behind this made everyone curious. Zhang Xuan met Fei Ke in her freshman year. A month after they started dating, Fei Ke learned that Zhang Xuan's childhood dream was to dance the lead role in "Swan Lake". This plot point sounded like a naive campus romance.

Su Qian didn't understand what Zhang Xuan could have been defrauded of, but Zhang Xuan said Fei Ke had stolen something more important than money. After watching the Moscow Dance Troupe performance, Fei Ke introduced Mr. Jin, who organized the performance, to Zhang Xuan. At the time, Zhang Xuan had no idea what Fei Ke was plotting. During the rehearsal on stage again, they received the sponsored performance costumes, and Zhang Xuan played the lead role of the Black Swan.

From then on, Zhang Xuan practiced even more diligently, and the performance was very successful. The dance teacher said that Zhang Xuan was already set to play the lead role in "Carmen" next semester. On the night the performance ended, Fei Ke took Zhang Xuan to Mr. Jin's celebration party. Zhang Xuan was forced to drink a lot of alcohol. When she woke up, her head hurt badly, and she couldn't remember anything that had happened the previous night. Fei Ke lied and deceived her, but Zhang Xuan discovered a clue from a gold watch placed on the hotel nightstand and questioned whose watch it was.

Episode 6 Recap

Through the gold watch on the table, Zhang Xuan discovered something was wrong and asked Fei Ke whose watch it was. Fei Ke was calm and collected. He said the watch belonged to Lao Jin (Mr. Jin). He also drank too much last night, pulled Fei Ke to him and called him brother, and even gave him this watch worth several hundred thousand yuan. Zhang Xuan dispelled her doubts.

Fei Ke changed the subject and said his mother also came to last night's performance. His mother was very satisfied with Zhang Xuan's performance on stage, so Fei Ke then told her about their relationship. Although his mother didn't explicitly express her opinion, she didn't object either. After that, Fei Ke arranged for Zhang Xuan to formally meet his mother. Before the meeting, Zhang Xuan spent a lot of effort choosing clothes.

But Fei Ke either said they were too old-fashioned or outdated. In short, none of the clothes were suitable to wear to meet his mother. After finally selecting the clothes, Zhang Xuan started putting on makeup. Fei Ke was on the side replying to messages on his phone. Zhang Xuan asked him who he was chatting with. Fei Ke didn't say.

He turned his head and saw she had put on heavy makeup and immediately said they were going to the high-end Yunding Pavilion Western Restaurant. It wasn't a stage performance, much less attending the county TV station's Spring Festival Gala. His words were excessive. Zhang Xuan immediately removed her makeup. Then she ran over and snatched Fei Ke's phone.

Seeing the chat between him and his mother, she finally realized that Fei Ke's mother looked down on her completely, and had not agreed for her to meet at the restaurant. Fei Ke comforted Zhang Xuan, but this brief comfort had no effect. Instead, it triggered more low self-esteem in Zhang Xuan. Her self-esteem made her propose breaking up with Fei Ke.

For Cheng Hao, Chen Shufa, and the others, these matters between Zhang Xuan and Fei Ke were very private, and there was no need to say them. Zhang Xuan then revealed a surprising detail. The glass of wine she drank that night at the gathering with Mr. Jin had a problem, and her life began to collapse after breaking up with Fei Ke. After breaking up, Zhang Xuan was in immense pain, she even started self-harming.

Later, she finally managed to contact Fei Ke. Her roommate accompanied her to a private room to find Fei Ke, but Fei Ke did not suggest getting back together. Zhang Xuan saw that the other women in the private room were very beautiful, so she had the idea of getting plastic surgery. She went to a plastic surgery hospital, maxed out her credit card and had plastic surgery.

Later, she even moved out of the dormitory and lived in a hotel. For a period, she couldn't reach Fei Ke. The next time she saw Zhang Xuan was still at a KTV. Her beauty made Fei Ke look at her with new eyes, but their relationship couldn't go back to how it was before. The foolish Zhang Xuan, in order to stay by Fei Ke's side, started frequently going to various KTVs, playing with Fei Ke as a friend.

To become even more beautiful, Zhang Xuan continued to have plastic surgery and injections without interruption, ignoring the doctor's advice to quit smoking and drinking. Mixed up in a life of indulgence and extravagance, not only did she fail to make Fei Ke change his mind, she herself also began to regret the plastic surgery. He Shan asked what Fei Ke had cheated her out of. Zhang Xuan said seriously that Fei Ke had cheated her out of her innocence.

Chen Shufa and Cheng Hao, the two men, coincidentally sneered. For them, innocence was worthless. Next, it was He Shan's turn to tell her story with Fei Ke. But Cheng Hao became suspicious of He Shan, because He Shan had been guiding others to tell their stories from beginning to end, and she could even point out some details that others had overlooked.

Cheng Hao found the recording in He Shan's bag and discovered that He Shan had been investigating Fei Ke and the people around him. Cheng Hao questioned her about it. Chen Shufa suddenly stood up and said that he had invited He Shan to investigate Fei Ke. The person who invited them today was not Fei Ke, but Chen Shufa himself. Chen Shufa opened the sofa he had been sitting on. Inside was none other than Fei Ke, with his hands tied behind his back and his mouth gagged.

Episode 7 Recap

The reason Chen Shufa invited Cheng Hao and the others today was to see how many people Fei Ke had scammed, settling old and new scores together. However, everyone felt that Fei Ke's crime was not punishable by death, and even if he was guilty, the judgment should come from the law. Chen Shufa sarcastically told everyone that the so-called transfers, bank cards, and keys were all fake, and the money Fei Ke had scammed away was gone forever.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shufa stabbed Fei Ke twice. Cheng Hao couldn't stand it and stepped forward to stop him. After controlling Chen Shufa, he kicked the knife away. Just then, Liu Mo appeared. He didn't listen to Chen Shufa's command to kill Fei Ke. Instead, he used a knife to cut the ropes binding Fei Ke. Immediately after, He Shan said that during her investigation of Fei Ke, she discovered many suspicious points.

According to Chen Shufa's one-sided account, Fei Ke met Chen Jiajia first, and only later met Chen Shufa. However, He Shan discovered that Fei Ke had met Chen Shufa first, and it was Chen Shufa who later single-handedly facilitated the meeting and marriage of Fei Ke and Chen Jiajia. Chen Jiajia never liked Fei Ke.

She only pretended to be in a relationship with Fei Ke to stop Chen Shufa from nagging, but she didn't expect Chen Shufa to put her marriage to Fei Ke on the agenda. He Shan visited upstream and downstream businesses, partners, and suppliers in Nanlin between 2014 and 2016. Chen Shufa's business had no problems; on the contrary, he was so focused on expansion that he took risks and acquired many unlicensed illegal mines.

After Chen Jiajia found out, she argued with Chen Shufa. Fei Ke heard what Chen Jiajia and Chen Shufa said. He suggested a solution: a fake marriage without registering the marriage certificate, which would satisfy both sets of parents. After thinking about it, Chen Jiajia agreed. As for Chen Shufa, Fei Ke also came up with an excellent reason that would make Chen Shufa agree to get married first without registering the marriage certificate.

Fei Ke and Chen Jiajia had a low-key wedding. After that, just as Chen Shufa said, he was scammed by Fei Ke. When Fei Ke couldn't be found, Chen Jiajia confronted her father, grabbed the car keys, and slammed the door shut as she left. Chen Shufa drove after her, trying to cut her off several times on the road, which ultimately led to Chen Jiajia's death in a car accident.

Regarding Cheng Hao's statement, He Shan also investigated and found that on the flight where he claimed to have met Fei Ke, the seat next to him was completely empty. After learning that Fei Ke's home had a leak and he was staying in a hotel, it was Cheng Hao who proactively invited him to stay at his place.

Later, Cheng Hao wanted to make more money and proposed using Fei Ke's account to set up a 'rat trading' scheme, which gave Fei Ke an opportunity to take advantage. As for Su Qian, she concealed the fact that she was married when she was with Fei Ke. When Fei Ke told her he was getting married, Su Qian was heartbroken. To keep Fei Ke, she secretly embezzled public funds, making her husband Zhao Xiaoyang a scapegoat.

After Zhao Xiaoyang was imprisoned, Su Qian never visited him even once. He Shan went many times. In the recording, Zhao Xiaoyang consistently insisted that he signed the documents himself, hoping that He Shan wouldn't bother people unrelated to this matter, implying that he hoped He Shan wouldn't bother Su Qian. Seeing this, Zhang Xuan also admitted that she had lied. Fei Ke did not drug her; instead, she used Fei Ke to meet Mr.

Jin and others, and then used these people to meet more new friends, putting Fei Ke out of her mind. Zhang Xuan getting plastic surgery was not at all because Fei Ke's mother looked down on her, but rather due to her own vanity. The two broke up because of the plastic surgery. Afterwards, Zhang Xuan dropped out of school because she felt that going to university was useless, and meeting influential people was what mattered.

At this moment, Fei Ke spoke. He said that actually, He Shan was the person he had known the longest on this "boat.

Episode 8 Recap

Time came to 2005. At that time, Fei Ke's real name was Li Zerui, which was also his birth name. Li Zerui had excellent high school grades and was admitted early by Chengjiang University before the college entrance examination. He was a prominent figure in school and had been interviewed by television stations. He Shan's mother saw this and didn't think much of it, just telling He Shan to also aim for Chengjiang University.

He Shan gave one of the jerseys her father brought back from Munich to Li Zerui. Now, only half of their wish to be admitted to Chengjiang University had come true. They had no idea what would happen in the future, while Li Zerui had long wanted to get out of Huishan and leave that home. His stepmother's biological son, Li Zetian, had poor grades, and she actually wanted Li Zerui to take the exam for him.

Her reasons were grand and convincing, but she never considered Li Zerui's position or feelings. Initially, Li Zerui refused and returned the camera gift his stepmother had given him. He recalled his birth mother's passing years ago and how his stepmother prevented his father from driving her away. His mind was filled with complex thoughts, but the next day, he told his stepmother that he agreed to what she had proposed the previous night. Soon, the college entrance examination arrived.

Li Zerui met He Shan at the entrance of the school examination hall, but he lied, saying he was there to cheer for his younger brother. After deceiving He Shan, Li Zerui entered the examination hall. His admission ticket was printed in black and white, and identity verification relied entirely on the eyes of the examination invigilators.

Perhaps Li Zerui and Li Zetian looked quite similar, or perhaps the invigilators had seen too many admission tickets and were experiencing eye fatigue. In any case, Li Zerui successfully entered the examination hall with Li Zetian's admission ticket and completed all four exams. However, during the final Humanities comprehensive exam, Li Zerui remembered his stepmother's cold-heartedness and cruelty from back then and became extremely angry, directly blacking out the name and exam number.

Soon after, the exam results came out. He Shan's parents called their daughter to check her scores. He Shan did quite well; her score of 676 was certainly enough to get into Chengjiang University. As for Li Zetian, because Li Zerui had blacked out the name and exam number in the final Humanities comprehensive exam, his score was zero. Li Zetian was furious and immediately went to beat Li Zerui, but his father stopped him.

His stepmother quickly tried to intervene but was pushed away. When He Shan left the examination hall, her father took a photo of her with his camera. It was this photo that allowed He Shan to discover Li Zerui in the crowd not far behind her. People from the Huishan Education Committee came to He Shan's home to understand the situation. They suspected Li Zerui had taken the exam for someone else.

The unsuspecting He Shan said she had seen Li Zerui at the examination hall, not realizing that this would become crucial testimony exposing Li Zerui's cheating. That summer, the evidence of Li Zerui taking the exam for another person was conclusive, and his early admission qualification to Chengjiang University was canceled. Meanwhile, He Shan was admitted to the Journalism Department at Chengjiang University, but she felt no excitement.

Her father once asked Li Zerui why he agreed to take the exam for someone else, asking if he didn't care about his life anymore. Li Zerui said that his life was ruined the day his father had an affair. Later, Li Zerui went to Chengjiang, rented a room near Chengjiang University, and started working to support himself. In his free time, he would study to improve himself, never wasting time.

Because the person he lived with made fake certificates, Li Zerui began to come into contact with many different things. He learned that many people used fake student IDs to audit classes and take postgraduate entrance exams at Chengjiang University. He seemed to see an opportunity for himself. Li Zerui met Xu Ou by returning his wallet, which he had lost as the president of the Finance Society, laying the groundwork for later events. He also unexpectedly encountered He Shan while sneaking leftover food from customers at a steakhouse.

Episode 9 Recap

Li Zerui met He Shan at the steakhouse, as well as He Shan's boyfriend at the time, Xu Ou. Xu Ou recognized Li Zerui as the kind person who had returned his lost wallet, and specifically introduced him to He Shan, but he didn't know that He Shan and Li Zerui had known each other for a long time.

Xu Ou went out to take a call, and He Shan spoke to Li Zerui, but Li Zerui denied being Li Zerui, and then fled in a panic. Lying on the sofa, Li Zerui asked Xiao Qiao, who made fake certificates, a question. In fact, he didn't understand why He Shan had reported him back then.

He Shan began checking the freshmen in the Math department in '06, and did not see Li Zerui's name, but she found a forum moderator named Fei Ke on the school forum. At that time, she suspected this Fei Ke was Li Zerui. Li Zerui was in his senior year's math class when the teacher called on him to answer a question. His approach to solving the problem surprised the teacher.

When asked which class he was in, the class happened to end, and Li Zerui also disappeared without a trace. He Shan stopped Li Zerui after class. When he heard she was going to the Registrar's Office to check his student identity using her authority, Fei Ke finally admitted he was Li Zerui. Because he was banned from taking exams for five years, he could only audit classes and study by this deceptive method.

When Xu Ou asked his name, He Shan proactively said his name was Fei Ke. Just like that, He Shan tacitly agreed to keep Fei Ke's secret and hoped that Fei Ke wouldn't use this false identity for other things. Xu Ou took Fei Ke to the school library to borrow books, but he didn't have a student ID, so he ran back to find Xiao Qiao to make a fake one.

Later, Li Zerui, using the false identity of Fei Ke, joined the Finance Society, studied and attended classes at school, borrowed books and studied in the library, and earned money to rent staff dormitories on campus. He thought life was getting better and better, but he didn't expect Xiao Qiao to plot against him. Using the leverage of Fei Ke's false identity, he extorted two thousand yuan from him. The Finance Society went camping and mountain climbing.

After the weather changed, heavy fog formed, and He Shan and Fei Ke got separated from the group. Then they encountered a downpour, and the temperature dropped sharply. Fei Ke and He Shan hugged each other for warmth, and were later found by other classmates. Fei Ke tried his best to get out of the mountain. By then, firefighters and ambulances had arrived.

Fei Ke was the first to be rescued, and he said there were a total of eighteen classmates who went into the mountain. This incident was very serious; two classmates were still in critical condition. The school official ordered Xu Ou, as the person in charge, to write down the names, student numbers, departments, etc. , of all students who participated in this outdoor training. The school was going to punish these students as a warning to others.

He Shan became worried about Fei Ke because she knew Fei Ke's student identity was fake. Xu Ou refused to write. He Shan, in order to help Fei Ke conceal it, proactively said she would write it. However, Xu Ou later discovered that He Shan had deliberately omitted Fei Ke's name, thus he became suspicious of the relationship between He Shan and Fei Ke.

Xiao Qiao was tricked in a game and lost tens of thousands, and had his finger chopped off. He ran to Fei Ke's dormitory to hide from debt. Learning that Fei Ke and Xu Ou were friends, Xiao Qiao directly blackmailed Fei Ke for fifty thousand. When it rains, it pours. Fei Ke received a call from his stepmother and learned that his father was about to pass away. Fei Ke took a car back to see his father.

His stepmother said his father had end-stage uremia and needed dialysis every other day. The family's savings had been spent over the years, and Li Zetian also sent back wages to treat the illness. The stepmother hoped that Li Zerui could reconcile with the family in front of her husband, so he wouldn't pass away with regrets.

Fei Ke took photos of the medical records and returned to the Finance Society at Cheng University to seek help, but Xu Ou exposed Fei Ke's false identity as a Cheng University student in front of everyone. He Shan stood by, looking helpless and pained. Xiao Qiao called again to demand money. Fei Ke reported him for making fake certificates, and Xiao Qiao was put in jail. Just then, Fei Ke received the bad news that his father had passed away, and his days of auditing classes and studying at Cheng University also came to an end.

Episode 10 (Ending) Recap

After that time, He Shan and Fei Ke never saw each other again, Xu Ou went to America, and He Shan's life returned to peace. Until one day, Fei Ke added her on WeChat. Their contact was not frequent; Fei Ke and she only sent WeChat greetings on holidays. He Shan saw that his WeChat Moments was getting better and better. Later, Fei Ke invited her to his wedding.

She originally thought that wedding was a conclusion, but not even two years later, someone else came looking for He Shan because of Fei Ke. That person was Liu Mo. Liu Mo was originally Chen Shufa's driver. After Chen Jiajia returned to China, Liu Mo was responsible for driving Chen Jiajia and deceived Chen Shufa with her because Chen Jiajia did not like the marriage partner Chen Shufa arranged for her.

As the two spent more and more time together, Liu Mo gradually fell in love with Chen Jiajia. He had feelings for her, and she reciprocated; Chen Jiajia also liked this simple but gentle big boy. But before the two could make further contact, Chen Shufa came knocking. Chen Shufa absolutely would not allow Liu Mo, this poor young man, to be with his daughter. He hit Liu Mo's head with an ashtray, and Liu Mo left sadly.

Chen Jiajia saw the bloodstains on the ground and asked where Liu Mo was. Chen Shufa answered irrelevantly. Chen Jiajia chased after him but could not find Liu Mo, who was hiding from her and not answering her calls. From then on, Chen Jiajia pretended to agree to Chen Shufa's arrangement to interact, date, and marry Fei Ke. Chen Shufa did not know this was his daughter's revenge against him.

After Fei Ke deceived Chen Shufa, he disappeared without a trace. Chen Jiajia also revealed everything to Chen Shufa at this time and drove directly to find Liu Mo. Chen Shufa drove after her, causing Chen Jiajia to speed, resulting in a car accident and death. Liu Mo saw the news and rushed to the hospital. Chen Shufa blamed his daughter's death on Fei Ke. Consequently, Liu Mo sided with Chen Shufa and began to investigate Fei Ke.

He first found Huishan, and following clues, found Cheng Hao, Su Qian, and others who had been previously deceived by Fei Ke, followed by He Shan, the only classmate of Fei Ke's who appeared at the wedding. As the investigation deepened, Liu Mo and He Shan both discovered that Chen Shufa did not want to bring Fei Ke to justice, but wanted his life. As for Zhang Xuan, it was completely because this was Chen Shufa's intention.

Chen Shufa had eaten with Zhang Xuan once. At that time, she admitted that she knew Fei Ke, but when Chen Shufa asked again, Zhang Xuan said she didn't understand this person Fei Ke. That day at the airport, the reason Fei Ke contacted He Shan was because hearing He Shan's voice made him feel like he was back to when he was eighteen and clean.

Fei Ke suffered industrial salt poisoning, and after a stomach pump, his life was saved, but Chen Shufa had the kidnappers hide Fei Ke and used Fei Ke's name to gather everyone at the island villa, and the story unfolded from there. Fei Ke asked if He Shan had reported him back then. He Shan denied it, but she actually felt very guilty.

If back when they were in college, she hadn't helped Fei Ke conceal his fake identity, maybe Fei Ke wouldn't have fallen deeper and deeper step by step. As the story neared its end, variables were still occurring. Chen Shufa claimed he had late-stage liver cancer and must take Fei Ke with him before he died. Liu Mo had already adjusted the cruising direction, and the boat was already heading back.

When they were about to dock, everyone went to the deck to call for help. Chen Shufa seized this opportunity to control the yacht's steering wheel and turn it sharply. The violent shaking caused He Shan to fall into the water, and Fei Ke voluntarily let go and went down to save her. Later, He Shan was rescued, but Fei Ke died. Chen Shufa, Cheng Hao, and Su Qian were brought to justice for their crimes.

As a party involved, Fei Ke was already deceased, and according to the law, his criminal responsibility was no longer pursued. The End.
