At eighteen, Shancai began her studies at Ming De University amidst a series of comical mishaps, quickly earning the displeasure of the campus’s most sought-after and admired student, Daoming Si.

Having rejected his patronizing proposal, Shancai found a Joker card dealt to her by Ah Si for her friend Qinghe. The rejection ignited a confrontation between Ah Si and Huaze Lei, their disagreement centering on Shancai.

Visiting Ah Si at his family’s home offered Shancai an unexpected glimpse into another facet of his character. Later, in Sanya, she happened to overhear a conversation between Lei and Tengtang Jing, revealing fragments of their shared histo…

A relentlessly curious classmate of Shancai showed Ah Si a video, sparking a fierce argument that transformed Ah Si into Shancai’s deepest fear.

At her twenty-fourth birthday gathering, Jing delivered an unexpected declaration concerning her professional path. Meanwhile, Shancai resolved to mediate between Jing and Lei, hoping to mend their strained relationship.

Having lost a wager to the F4, Shancai unexpectedly found herself sharing a date with Ah Si. A sudden malfunction in an elevator offered them an unexpected intimacy, drawing them closer together than before.

A photograph of Shancai appeared online, instantly subjecting her to widespread embarrassment. Determined to find those responsible, Ximen Yan and Feng Meizuo began searching for the source of the image's publication.

Having returned from France, Lei seemed transformed, and confessed to Shancai that his heart was still aching for Jing. It dawned on Shancai then that her own feelings for him hadn’t fully subsided.

Ah Si remains resolute in his intention to exclude Lei from the group known as F4. Shancai finds herself profoundly touched by the anecdotes Daoming Zhuang shares, revealing glimpses of Ah Si’s childhood.

The air crackled with tension over a fiercely contested game of bridge, pitting Shancai and Lei against Ah Si and Meizuo. Just as play was about to begin, however, Ah Si abruptly withdrew. Elsewhere, Shancai’s father announced a significant…

Just before their departure for London, Ah Si created a disturbance at Shancai’s place of work. A promising opportunity to become head chef was slipping through Tian Ye’s fingers, until Shancai intervened and resolved the situation.

Discovering the truth about Tian Ye’s background, Shancai found herself at a crossroads. Bolstered by Ah Si’s support, she resolved to enter a cooking contest, hoping to secure the prize money and ease her family's burdens.

With the patient instruction and gentle urging of Zhuang and Ah Si, Shancai honed her culinary abilities in preparation for the contest—though a worthy rival stood firmly in her path.

As the final round approached and panic threatened to overwhelm Shancai, Ah Si offered encouragement, inspiring her to create a Shanghai specialty infused with an unexpected flourish – a dish that captivated the judging panel.

The tea shop thrived, propelled by the efforts of Lei, Ximen, and Meizuo, affording Shancai an opportunity for a vacation in Canada. There, amidst the scenery, her playful arguments with Ah Si continued unabated.

Amidst the tempest, Ah Si pressed on, seeking out Shancai. Though she had acted wrongly, Shancai nonetheless intervened to help Xinhui and Baihe when they found themselves threatened with expulsion from the lodge.

Jing surprised Lei with an urgent phone call. Meanwhile, consumed by jealousy, Ah Si interfered with Shancai’s plans to meet her friends and became embroiled in a confrontation with Yan Shunping, the brother of one of Shancai’s former class…

The truth of Shunping’s hidden intentions began to surface. Shancai, with a defiant spirit, mocked those who had wronged her, silently hoping Ah Si wouldn't intervene on her behalf and risk his own safety.

Shancai found herself amidst the refined elegance of Ah Si’s lavish birthday gathering, only to witness a sudden and unexpected event that sparked a sharp conflict between him and his mother—a woman clearly determined to publicly embarrass …

Determined to set Ah Si up, Daoming Feng orchestrated a meeting and invited Shancai to observe. However, his carefully laid plans went awry as Ah Si’s behavior proved counterproductive, unexpectedly leading to a budding friendship between S…

With a heavy reluctance, Ah Si conceded to a meeting with Xiao Zi, though his thoughts remained tethered to Shancai. A sudden commotion at the spa prompted Lei to swiftly intervene and assist Shancai.

A simple miscommunication caused Shancai to mistakenly assume that Ah Si and Xiao Zi were romantically involved. This fueled yet another fiery argument between her and Daoming Feng.

Shancai diligently carried out her household chores while Ms. Yu firmly established her rules and expectations within the home. Meanwhile, Ah Si requested that Shancai grant their burgeoning relationship a trial period of one month.

The cracks appeared in Jiang Xiaoyou’s relationship when her boyfriend revealed a less appealing side of himself, prompting Ah Si to abruptly leave their double date in frustration. Sensing an opportunity, Ximen proposed assisting Xiaoyou i…

Concerned about Terence’s intentions, Zhou Caina arranges a dinner with Meizuo. Meanwhile, Daoming Feng unexpectedly returns to his family's residence and engages in a spirited argument with Ms. Yu, who resolutely champions Shancai’s cause.

By chance, Meizuo encountered Terence at Caina’s home. Meanwhile, Lei cautioned Shancai that Daoming Feng would likely employ underhanded tactics against those dearest to her.

Driven to a corner, Shancai reluctantly conceded to Daoming Feng’s wishes. Meanwhile, Caina located the architect her father had been searching for—a familiar face, unexpectedly revealed.

With Shancai’s disappearance leaving her friends anxious, Ah Si retreated into solitude. Meanwhile, Shancai herself contemplated a business proposition put forward by the owner of her family’s land.

As Ye Mingchuan prepares to embark on an overseas assignment, Caina finds herself grappling with a difficult choice. Meanwhile, Lei unexpectedly discovers a recording of Shancai cheerfully hawking squid from her lively market stall.

With a heavy heart, Meizuo declared his devotion to Caina, a love offered freely but never returned, and gently encouraged her pursuit of Ye Mingchuan. Meanwhile, Ah Si faced Shancai, who relinquished the necklace he had given her.

Tears brimming, Shancai confided in Ms. Yu the depth of her feelings for Ah Si. In response, Lei orchestrated a heartfelt declaration, playing his violin for all to witness his devotion to Shancai.

Having declared his unwavering pursuit of Shancai, Ah Si found himself subjected to a test by Lei, who challenged his commitment by requesting that she disconnect her phone for two full days.

Determined to move forward, Ah Si and Shancai resolved to begin anew. As she made her way home, a group of sharply dressed men followed Shancai, prompting Meizuo’s suspicion that they were connected to Daoming Feng.

Yu recounted to Ah Si the devastating way Daoming Feng had dismantled Zhuang’s romantic relationships. Meanwhile, Xiaoyou declared her affections for Ximen, who offered only an ambiguous and unsettling reply.

Though Ximen tried to maintain a distance, Xiaoyou remained persistent in her attentions. Meanwhile, Shancai observed that someone had taken residence in the apartment beside hers.

Under the watchful eyes of Daoming Feng’s security detail, Ah Si and Shancai devised increasingly clever plans to evade them, with Zhuang offering his discreet assistance.

Ximen confided in Xiaoyou, revealing the roots of his difficulty with commitment. Meanwhile, Zhuang offered a sum to the guards, securing their silence regarding Ah Si’s location.

Xiaoyou led Ximen to a place where Xiao Geng had previously wished to show it. Meanwhile, Ah Si understood that he and Shancai could no longer conceal their secret for long.

Daoming Feng severed Ah Si’s access to his accounts and dispatched guards in pursuit. Following this, Shancai found herself in London, searching for Ah Si.

The Daoming family’s entire wealth hinges on an agreement struck with Xiao Zi’s father, leaving Ah Si facing a painful choice regarding his feelings for Shancai.

Having encouraged Ah Si to reach out to Shancai, Xiao Zi and his partner shared a poignant day in London before parting ways.

While Daoming Feng desperately searches for those who took them captive, Shancai and Ah Si unexpectedly land on a lonely island—only to discover they’ve been caught up in an elaborate, good-natured deception.

Awakening in the hospital, Ah Si found himself unable to recall Shancai. This unsettling blankness sparked a worry in Shancai’s mother, who began to question the nature of her daughter’s connection with him.

Xiaoyou requested Ximen lead a workshop for the members of her tea society, but the session unveiled an unexpected connection: Geng Yifen was, in fact, someone Ximen knew as Xiao Geng from years gone by.

At a humble wonton shop, Ah Si proposed to Shancai, only to have her mother suggest he seek Daoming Feng’s blessing before taking their relationship any further.

Ximen planned an elaborate surprise for his first formal date with Xiaoyou. However, Daoming Feng’s interference threatened to unravel the carefully laid plans.

Xiao Zi pleaded with Shancai to persuade Ah Si to end his fast. Meanwhile, Ximen, Meizuo, and Lei reflected on a confidential business proposal Ah Si had once drafted for the Daoming Group.

Xiao Zi formally declared her choice concerning her marriage to Ah Si. Meanwhile, bolstered by Ah Si’s detailed proposal, the Daoming Group secured significant investment from a range of backers.

Meizuo, Ximen, and Lei formally offer their presence to Shancai as prospective suitors, only for the gesture to reveal itself as a carefully constructed deception. Adding to the unexpectedness of the scene, Ah Si arrives with an unanticipat…
