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.
