> Love Together (Trial Marriage) Recap
Mu Qiuhui watches the long-awaited fireworks display, a spectacle thirty years in the making. Zhao Guobang remarks that they can finally watch it together, expressing his joy that she likes the fireworks he specially arranged. Meanwhile, Ye Chengshu and Gu Lingse share an intimate moment, enjoying the new year countdown. Ye Chengshu tells Gu Lingse that his application for the bidding session was successful, with positive initial feedback, and he plans to focus on the next steps.
Gu Lingse expresses her confidence in him, and they share a loving kiss as the New Year begins. On New Year's Day morning, Gu Lingse and Ye Chengshu discover that Mu Qiuhui has fully awakened. Mu Qiuhui fondly reminisces about how careless Gu Lingse was as a child and recognizes her. Overwhelmed with emotion, Gu Lingse cries tears of joy.
Mu Qiuhui then greets the others present, recognizing Xiaobei, then Quan Zimo (whom she still calls Jiatong, remarking on his growth), and his girlfriend Ming Rixin. Next, she recognizes Piaopiao and Ye Chengshu, noting him as Lingse’s husband. Finally, she recognizes Zhao Guobang, affectionately calling him "Guobang." To everyone's delight, she spontaneously kisses Zhao Guobang, leaving him speechless with happiness.
Elsewhere, Jiang Han receives a phone call informing him that his company's bid for the Yushan Street project failed, and the local authority preferred the development plan submitted by Ye Chengshu's group. Enraged, Jiang Han curses Ye Chengshu's name. Soon after, he receives another call informing him that his father, Jiang Wenbin, is in critical condition and nearing his final moments, despite having regained partial consciousness.
Ignoring the doctors' advice to come to the hospital, Jiang Han instructs his men to take Jiang Wenbin from the hospital according to an "original plan." Gu Peiya, who was with Jiang Han, tries to stop him from making a grave mistake, threatening to report him if he takes his father.
Jiang Han, in a fit of anger, attempts to snatch evidence from her, but she refuses to hand it over, pleading with him not to do anything foolish and offering to destroy the evidence if he stops. When Jiang Han storms out, consumed by his plans, Gu Peiya calls Ye Chengshu, informing him that Jiang Han forcibly took Jiang Wenbin from the hospital. Ye Chengshu immediately calls Su Nian, asking if she knows Jiang Han's whereabouts.
Su Nian's brother mentions that strangers have been seen in the field outside Mulin Town, using devices to scan the ground and that the town has experienced several small earthquakes recently. Realizing the implications, Su Nian deduces that Jiang Han is secretly developing the floating island project there. She rushes to the location and calls Ye Chengshu to notify him of Jiang Han's exact location, urging him to come quickly.
In the underground facility beneath Mulin Town, Jiang Han confronts his critically ill father, Jiang Wenbin, in the core housing of the floating island project. Jiang Han boasts that he will succeed in activating the floating island, a feat Ye Nanchuan supposedly failed to achieve. Jiang Wenbin warns him that with current technology, such a project would be unstable and inevitably crash.
Jiang Han, overwhelmed by hatred, accuses his father of prioritizing Ye Nanchuan and Ye Chengshu over him, stating that he hated Ye Nanchuan for his mother's death and Ye Chengshu for his naivety, but most of all, he hated his own father for only having eyes for the Ye family. Jiang Wenbin, on his deathbed, confesses the truth.
He reveals that years ago, he and Gu Huaiheng disregarded Ye Nanchuan's warnings about the design flaws in the "Garden in the Air" project and proceeded with construction to achieve fame. The project eventually collapsed. During the collapse, Ye Nanchuan sacrificed himself to save Jiang Han's mother, both ultimately dying in the rubble.
Jiang Wenbin admits that he had lived with immense guilt ever since, feeling he owed Ye Nanchuan greatly, and his kindness towards Ye Chengshu was an act of atonement. Upon hearing this confession, Jiang Han is finally shaken. Although he tells his father he won't hate him anymore, he asserts that he will never forgive him. As Jiang Wenbin passes away, Jiang Han chooses to surrender and makes a phone call to turn himself in to the authorities.
Five years later, the Dingzhuang Group holds a news conference. Ye Chengshu, now more mature, stands alongside his wife, Gu Lingse, and their child. He announces the launch of the Eco-Floating Island Bionic Project, an unprecedented initiative aimed at transforming challenges into opportunities. He invites everyone to join them in building this epoch-making project, which will officially begin its pilot phase in Mulin Town and Yushan Street. Gu Lingse then steps forward to announce the launch date: in 99 days. Among the attendees, Quan Zimo and a pregnant Ming Rixin proudly watch the couple, as the ambitious project finally gets underway.
