> The Epoch of Miyu Recaps
Nie Yucheng hosts a lavish 60th birthday dinner for his mother at the Purong Hotel. When he spots Ji Feng passing by, he insists he join them for a toast and introduces Lu Zhenzhen as the new Mrs. Nie. During the celebration, Lu Zhenzhen plays the part of the perfect daughter-in-law, delighting the mother with the news that she is pregnant with a grandson.
Meanwhile, the hotel’s dining department is short-staffed, and Ms. Zhang asks Xu Miyu to stay past her shift to help in private room 808. Miyu is stunned to find herself serving her ex-husband’s family. Lu Zhenzhen immediately begins to humiliate her, forcing her to change bone plates and perform menial tasks. Supported by the hotel's manager, Feng Kaixin, Lu Zhenzhen purposefully makes a mess and blames Miyu when the mother-in-law nearly slips.
Feng Kaixin scolds Miyu for her supposed carelessness and demands she apologize. Unable to watch the scene any longer, Nie Yucheng intervenes and asks for a different server so Miyu can leave. Nie Yucheng follows Miyu into the hallway to apologize, claiming he didn’t know she worked there. Seeing her in a service uniform, he offers to use his industry connections to find her a better job.
Miyu sharply rejects his pity, stating that earning her own living is far more honorable than her previous life as his "full-time nanny." Lu Zhenzhen interrupts, accusing Miyu of pestering her husband. Miyu retorts that Lu should focus on managing her own man instead of harassing her. Ji Feng eventually breaks up the tension, urging the Nies to return to their celebration. Later, Miyu’s parents call her, hoping Nie Yucheng can provide tourist leads for their struggling B&B.
Frustrated, Miyu tells them to stop contacting him and ends the call. Worried by her tone, her mother and step-father decide to travel to Shanghai to check on her. At the hotel, Miyu’s day worsens when she receives a formal bad review from a disgruntled guest. Feeling her dignity is shattered by the gossip of her colleagues, Miyu prepares to quit. However, she runs into Ji Feng while he is out for a run.
He bluntly tells her that if her personality is too submissive for the hotel industry, she should cut her losses and leave. His words stir Miyu’s pride, and she decides to stay and prove herself. Miyu’s parents arrive in Shanghai and go to her former home, only to be met by Lu Zhenzhen. She shows them her marriage certificate and coldly informs them that Miyu is divorced.
After the step-father refuses to leave, Lu Zhenzhen drives them to the Purong Hotel. They eventually spot Miyu cleaning a guest room—which happens to be Ji Feng’s suite. Miyu’s mother is horrified to see her daughter in a service uniform and tries to drag her home to "reclaim" her marriage. Ji Feng arrives and, sensing their embarrassment, provides Miyu with meal coupons for the executive lounge so they can speak in private.
Over dinner, Miyu tells her parents the truth about the divorce. While her mother is upset about the betrayal, her step-father is more focused on the financial settlement. He is outraged to learn that Miyu walked away with nothing. Miyu explains that Nie's failed investments left them with no assets and that she is now burdened with a 300,000 yuan online loan she took out for the family B&B.
While Miyu finishes her shift, her step-father secretly heads to Nie Yucheng’s company, Changyang, to demand a payout. At the office, the step-father demands two million yuan as "youth compensation" for the ten years Miyu spent with Nie Yucheng. Nie Yucheng maintains that he is broke, showing a bank balance of only 26,000 yuan.
When the step-father threatens to cause a scene, Nie Yucheng offers a compromise: he will direct several large travel contracts to the family’s B&B with high commissions. The step-father accepts the deal and returns to the hotel, but the situation turns volatile when the mother spots Lu Zhenzhen in the lobby. Lu Zhenzhen, who has just been hired as a top salesperson at Purong, is publicly confronted by the mother.
As the mother screams at her for stealing Miyu’s husband, Lu Zhenzhen retaliates by telling the entire lobby that Miyu’s parents are leeches who just "robbed" her husband of his bonus and business deals. As bystanders film the fight, Miyu arrives to drag her parents away. Outside, her step-father turns his anger on her, calling her ungrateful and a disappointment for embarrassing him. Miyu reminds him that she was the one who went into debt for his business, but her parents remain unmoved, blaming her for divorcing without securing her financial future.
