Zheng Shu Yi boldly flirts with Shi Yan, sending him a text message asking him to come pick her up. To Zheng Shu Yi's surprise, Shi Yan really shows up, leaving her utterly shocked. Bi Ruo Shan notices the unique chemistry between Zheng Shu Yi and Shi Yan, and she decides to give them some space. However, Zheng Shu Yi ends up getting out of the car with her, much to the latter's dismay.

Zheng Shu Yi, taking advantage of her injury, acted cute and pitiful toward Shi Yan. Shi Yan accepted everything without reservation. In the end, Shi Yan invited Zheng Shu Yi to live with him to make it more convenient for him to take care of her. Zheng Zheng Shu Yi felt that it was too soon for them to move in together. After contemplating for a moment, she eventually agreed to Shi Yan's invitation to move in together.

At Le'an's listing ceremony, Shi Yan, as one of Le'an's shareholders, goes on stage to ring the bell together. At the celebratory dinner, Shi Yan delivers a speech. At the end of his speech, he says that he has one more goal in life that he wants to achieve at this stage, which is to get promoted in Zheng Shu Yi's life as well. Zheng Shu Yi runs to the balcony to calm down the excitement of being proposed to. After a while, Shi Yan comes out to look for her, and Zheng Shu Yi makes jokes and agrees to the proposal.

Qin Shi Yue officially goes back to work. When she teases Zheng Shu Yi about being her uncle's girlfriend, Xu Yu Ling overhears her. Xu Yu Ling thinks that with Qin Shi Yue's age, her uncle must be a middle-aged man. She thinks that Zheng Shu Yi has a complicated relationship with Qin Shi Yue's uncle. After some inquiries, she finds out about Qiu Fu's rumor. She believes that Zheng Shu Yi is using an age-old dirty trick. Eventually, some rumors began to spread out within the company. Zheng Shu Yi finds out that Xu Yu Ling is the one who started it. So, she confronts her about it.

Shi Yan requested Shu Yi's assistance in arranging a meeting with Yi Yang. Yi Yang wondered about Shi Yan's intentions. Shi Yan proposed that the two companies collaborate on research and development to jointly overcome the current technical challenges, achieve an upgrade, and share the honors and results. While Yi Yang was swayed, he did not fully commit to the proposal.

When Shi Yan learns that he is going to be interviewed by journalist Xu Yu Ling, he decides to change the interviewer to Zheng Shu Yi, a journalist who has already been selected before. Before Shi Yan designates Zheng Shu Yi, he has already read an article written by her and is deeply impressed by her sharp perspectives. He is looking forward to meeting her and exchanging views.

At this point, Shi Yan decides to have Qin Shi Yue start her work and learning journey at Financial Introduce. However, he sternly orders her not to reveal her family background, emphasizing the need for her to rely solely on her own abilities to excel at her job. Qin Shi Yue realizes that her uncle Shi Yan is very serious about this, and she quickly turns to Guan Ji for help.

Despite facing setbacks in her love life, Zheng Shu Yi remained extremely dedicated to her work. Although Qin Shi Yue had taken a leave, she remained attentive to Financial Introduce and realized that she had truly fallen in love with this job. Thus, she returned to the University of Finance and Economics to gain more insights. After class, Qin Shi Yue and Yu You strolled around the campus. Yu You's student mistakenly referred to Qin Shi Yue as Yu You's girlfriend. Seizing the chance, Yu You prompted Qin Shi Yue to consider the student's suggestion.

Zheng Shu Yi goes to interview Shi Yan at Mingyu Yunchuang, only to discover that Xu Yu Ling has already seized the opportunity. Unwilling to give up, Zheng Shu Yi shamelessly pretends not to know that Xu Yu Ling has already been there and requests an interview from Shi Yan. Sensing Zheng Shu Yi's predicament and understanding that she has been preempted, with the possibility of her interview outline being stolen, Shi Yan softens for a moment and decides to give Zheng Shu Yi another chance for the interview.

While Zheng Shu Yi is in the process of composing an interview draft for Shi Yan, she learns from her colleague Kong Nan that Xu Yu Ling not only seeks to appropriate her special report resources, but has also plagiarized her interview outline. Zheng Shu Yi is incensed, yet she soon discovers that Shi Yan remains remarkably patient, allowing for a second interview. However, at the same time, he manages to embarrass Zheng Shu Yi multiple times, leaving Zheng Shu Yi unable to comprehend Shi Yan's intentions.

The deadline is fast approaching, and if her draft is not approved soon, Xu Yu Ling's article will become the front-page content. This also means that Mingyu Yunchuang’s special coverage news is in jeopardy, and her desire to lead the redesign of the digital magazine will be in vain. Zheng Shu Yi can't help but feel compelled to confront Shi Yan and demand an explanation.

On the day Qin Shi Yue and Shi Yan rushed to Qing'an, Zheng Shu Yi attended a classmate's wedding as planned. During the banquet, a verbal conflict arose between Zheng Shu Yi and Qin Le Zhi. Qin Le Zhi deliberately revealed the alleged improper relationship between Zheng Shu Yi and Qiu Fu. Unable to defend herself, Zheng Shu Yi angrily left the table, feeling isolated and helpless. At that moment, all she wanted was to see Shi Yan. However, when she stepped outside, she discovered that Shi Yan was indeed waiting for her.

Zheng Shu Yi and Yi Yang collaborate seamlessly, turning the first issue of the special report into a hit. Even amid their work, Shi Yan continues to keep an eye on Zheng Shu Yi. Upon seeing the special report she has crafted, he sarcastically comes to the realization that he is not indispensable after all.

When Shi Yan arrives at Zheng Shu Yi's home, he indeed finds Yue Xing Zhou disturbing her, attempting to reconcile. Shi Yan boldly enters Zheng Shu Yi's home and keeps Yue Xing Zhou outside. Only when Shi Yan comes out from Zheng Shu Yi's home, forcefully declaring his sovereignty, does Yue Xing Zhou finally understand that he and Zheng Shu Yi have no chance of reconciliation. Dejected, he leaves. After socializing, Shi Yan returns to Zheng Shu Yi's home, and the two savor a sweet moment together.

Zheng Shu Yi places the bracelet that Yue Xing Zhou has given her on Yue Xing Zhou's car door handle and leaves. After bidding farewell to Qin Le, Yue Xing Zhou notices the bracelet on the car door handle and realizes that Zheng Shu Yi has seen everything. In a state of panic, he hurriedly makes his way to Zheng Shu Yi's home.

During the halftime break, a journalist from Jiangcheng Daily adds Zheng Shu Yi on WeChat, and the two of them have a pleasant conversation. When Shi Yan sees this, he becomes displeased and calls Zheng Shu Yi over. Confused, Zheng Shu Yi approaches him, and Shi Yan inquires about the whereabouts of the female journalist accompanying her. Zheng Shu Yi suspects that he might be interested in Qin Shi Yue.

When Shu Yi changed into the red dress that Shi Yan liked the most to accompany him while he worked overtime at Yunchuang, she suddenly realized that she had already made plans with Yu You and Qin Shi Yue to visit an art exhibition. To avoid making Shi Yan jealous, she didn't mention it to him. Although Qin Shi Yue didn't know much about art, she stayed up all night doing her research to impress Yu You. However, on the day of the exhibition, due to staying up late, she forgot most of what she had researched and had to improvise on the spot.

Qin Shi Yue finds out that Yu You will attend the Chip Conference. So, she begs Guan Ji to take her there. After agreeing, Guan Ji receives an invitation from Bi Ruo Shan to travel together. Bi Ruo Shan can hear his hesitation. Shu Yan travels to Fucheng where the Chip Conference will be held in advance. And he sends his driver, Fan Lei, to take her there.

Zheng Shu Yi cannot control her longing for Shi Yan. She calls him and tells him that she suddenly feels too hungry to work. Shi Yan is clearly downstairs, but he tells Zheng Shu Yi that it will take him 20 minutes to arrive. However, when Zheng Shu Yi goes downstairs and touches the completely cooled car, she knows that Shi Yan has been waiting for her downstairs all along. She realizes she can't escape her feelings for him.

Zheng Shu Yi's condition still shows no signs of improvement. She goes to the hospital alone to receive intravenous therapy. When Shi Yan learns from Qin Shi Yue that Zheng Shu Yi is back in the hospital, despite being busy and unable to rearrange his schedule, he still rushes to the hospital. Zheng Shu Yi is touched to find Shi Yan by her side. Encouraged by the warming of their relationship, Zheng Shu Yi is determined to win back Shi Yan.

After returning to the magazine office, Zheng Shu Yi still can't be certain whether Shi Yan has overheard her conversation with Bi Ruo Shan. So, she musters the courage to send a message as a probe. Shi Yan sees the text but doesn't respond. Frustrated, Zheng Shu Yi questions why Shi Yan hasn't replied, and he retorts in response. Zheng Shu Yi concludes that Shi Yan has indeed heard her complaints about him, which makes her anxious as it could potentially affect Yunchuang's special report. She feels increasingly flustered.

Shi Yan almost believed that both she and Zheng Shu Yi had ulterior motives, but he couldn't comprehend why Zheng Shu Yi had waited until now despite having numerous opportunities. Upon returning home, Zheng Shu Yi was still deeply troubled by the fact that she had approached Shi Yan with a specific purpose. However, she couldn't confess directly to him, which left her in great distress.

Zheng Shu Yi and Shi Yan have started going out. Their friends and colleagues immediately notice that something is going on with them. However, they choose to hide their relationship and end up being teased. During lunch, when Zheng Shu Yi is texting Shi Yan, Qin Shi Yue misunderstands that she's chatting with Yu You. Zheng Shu Yi quickly explains that she only admires Yu You as a friend. Upon hearing that, Qin Shi Yue is delighted. She reiterates her thought that Zheng Shu Yi and Shi Yan are a match made in heaven.

Qin Shi Yue arrives at a hotel in Fucheng late at night, only to run into Shi Yan immediately. Shi Yan informs Shi Yue that his niece has arrived. Afraid that Shi Yan may bring up Qin Le Zhi, Zheng Shu Yi lies to Shi Yan, claiming to be tired, and goes to bed early. With nothing to do, Shi Yan has no choice but to seek out Yu You and Guan Ji. As they talk about their love lives, Shi Yan tacitly admits that he has found the one he loves and has long seen Zheng Shu Yi as a wrong crush made right.

Zheng Shu Yi tosses and turns all night, unable to sleep. However, in the morning, she still heads to the agreed-upon location with Shi Yan. After the agreed-upon time passes and Shi Yan doesn't show up, Zheng Shu Yi, fearing that he has already learned the truth, takes the initiative to call him. Confirming her suspicions from his words, she is left disheartened before she can even apologize, as Shi Yan hangs up the phone.
