Black will always be a classic on the red carpet.

The material of this dress can show off your slim waist.

The tailoring is perfect.

You clearly have your motives.

I do.

I want everyone to know

we're married.

Who are you?

Hello, ma'am.

I was Yao Liang's classmate.

My name is Xia Lin.

So you're the tramp who left my son for money.

Hello, Ms. Jiang?

What did you call me for?

It's nothing.

There have been so many negative comments on your social media page.

Do you want to disable the comments for a while?

Don't bother.

We can't shut them up even if we disable the comments.

All right. You shouldn't go online for the time being.

There are a bunch of trolls online.

I don't want them to affect your mood.

I know.

I won't be going online.

I'll try not to be bothered by it.

Good.

How are you and Ling Yizhou?

What does he plan on doing?

I realized

there are a lot of things I don't know,

so I'm really confused right now.

I want some time alone.

Okay, take a few days to rest up

and recalibrate your mind.

I'll cover for you at work

and I'll handle everything else.

Okay. Thank you, Ms. Jiang.

MUZHOU

But I did all that

because I love you.

So your love for me makes it okay to hurt an innocent person?

Mumu, do you also think I'm involved in Yao Liang's accident?

Why didn't you tell me you were there?

It came up so suddenly.

Someone is deliberately linking these two matters together.

I wanted to wait until everything was resolved before telling you.

I was afraid you would misunderstand.

Ling Yizhou.

Can I still trust you?

UPLOAD POST

-Hello? -Boss, have you gone to bed yet?

Not yet. What is it?

I just received news that

Ms. Xia posted on Weibo that you two broke up.

What did you say?

Do you and Ms. Xia have specific intentions behind this?

The PR team asks if we need to make a reply right away.

I have a lot on my mind right now.

I need some time alone.

Mumu!

No.

Don't reply.

Okay.

We have broken up after growing apart due to our hectic work schedules.

We hope you will all give us some privacy. Thank you for your concern.

Sir, do you need anything to eat?

All right. Get some rest soon.

BOJUE PHOTOGRAPHY

A PHOTO SHOOT WHERE YOU WANT IT

Any feedback is welcome.

We were in the tourism business in the past,

but we couldn't compete with bigger brands in the market.

Your combination of travel and photography

can only be considered an innovation in delivery.

Can you guarantee it can be competitive in the market?

Photo shoot tours place more emphasis on photography.

Furthermore,

travel is now a necessary commodity among the younger generation.

On the whole, they travel at least once or twice a year.

Most young people

travel for leisure and adventure.

These are worth capturing on film.

Compared with all the usual indoor photo shoots,

shooting while having fun offers more freedom and personalization.

This is more in line with young people's view on photography.

Take photos while having fun.

But we have no experience in photography.

Moreover, these two industries have very small markets.

As far as I know, to this day,

nobody has been able to become a nationwide brand.

That also happens to be the advantage of vacation photo shoots.

The flexibility of photo shoot tours

can fill in this gap

and go on to spread across the entire country.

Moreover,

there will also be a demand for high quality in smaller cities.

The flexibility of vacation photo shoots

can allow surrounding small cities to enjoy superior service as well.

That is a good idea.

But you also mentioned

that everything is done online.

Wouldn't that be too risky?

After all, the majority of consumers

prefer something that they can see in person.

Nearly all traditional industries

are looking for ways to integrate the Internet into their business.

Moreover, our main consumer group will be young people.

Everything from making inquiries to ordering is done online.

This not only decreases costs for both parties,

but it is also the preferred method for young people.

E-commerce only covers ordering.

What's crucial will be offline operations.

What makes you stand out in this aspect?

You're right.

We will still need brick-and-mortar stores.

We can locate these stores in smaller tourist cities.

We will see a lot of foot traffic

and the cost of rent will also be a bargain.

Now on to quality.

I have many resources and connections in the entertainment industry.

First-rate photographers

and top makeup artists and stylists

will give customers an outstanding experience.

In addition,

I'm planning on hiring a celebrity spokesperson

to boost our credibility.

Don't we already have you?

Well...

We can think about it once this proposal is approved.

All right. I have no more questions.

Mr. Chu is a promising young man with a bright future.

Very well.

Bojue Photography

is officially launched.

Hey, Yizhou. Congratulate me.

The board approved my proposal.

Congratulations.

Are you free this afternoon?

I want to talk to you about something.

Sure, let's meet at the usual place.

By the way, you and Xia Lin...

There are some misunderstandings between us.

It's complicated.

I can't explain.

I don't know how I can help.

But if there's a misunderstanding, it needs to be addressed.

Neither you or Xia Lin are impulsive people.

The number you dialed is turned off.

XIA LIN

We have broken up after growing apart due to our hectic work schedules.

We hope you will all give us some privacy. Thank you for your concern.

MUZHOU

MUZHOU

Am I heavy?

Far too heavy!

Because at this very moment,

I'm carrying my whole world.

Yizhou?

Yizhou?

Are you ready, Grandma?

Let's go home.

Are you okay?

-Yes. -Are you sure?

Yes.

Grandma, have a seat.

I'll get some water for you.

Okay.

Yizhou?

Why didn't Mumu come today?

Grandma.

Mumu is busy filming

and said she'll visit you when she has time.

Yizhou.

I've been through it all before.

I'm guessing the two of you had a fight.

No.

Of course,

for two people who are in love,

fighting can sometimes bring them closer together.

However, in moments of anger,

it's easy to say hurtful things.

So, love and marriage must be carefully managed.

I understand, Grandma.

You've kept too many things from me.

I can trust you unconditionally

but you've lied to me again and again.

My trust can be destroyed.

I really don't know if I can still trust you!

What if she no longer trusts me?

Xia Lin?

Linlin?

Why haven't you answered my calls?

I've been so worried.

I turned off my phone.

I want some peace and quiet.

Sorry to make you worry.

It's okay if you need some time alone,

but why did you break up with Mr. Ling?

Are you serious about that?

We haven't broken up yet.

I just

need some time to myself.

Is that what your post on Weibo meant?

Weibo?

You seem to be doing well.

If you have time, pay off your debts.

Okay.

I could've won it all back last time but lost my winning streak in the end.

Can you give me two more days?

No more than that.

It's so hot here.

We don't want to keep coming back here.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you for making the trip.

I'll definitely pay you in two days.

If you don't pay then,

we'll get rid of you and your collateral!

You better watch it.

SCAPEGOAT, IMPORTANT RECORDING

I'll have to squeeze more money out of this.

Am I interpreting it incorrectly?

You wrote that you two broke up.

I didn't post this.

You didn't?

Was your account hacked?

There's one other possibility.

What do you want?

It's me. I came here a few months ago.

Your boss, Mr. Jin, personally welcomed me.

-Move it. -So it's you?

Are you after more money?

Mr. Jin gave orders that

if you show up again,

we are to break your legs.

From a security guard like you? Move!

The person you're looking for isn't here.

-Leave! -You...

Leave already.

Fine, I'll go.

Hello, Ms. Jiang?

Did you upload that post?

Yes, it was me.

But it was a team decision.

How could you decide for me?

This is a personal matter between me and Ling Yizhou.

Xia Lin, I know you won't be able to harden your heart to break up with him.

From what I know about you,

you and Ling Yizhou must be having problems.

But you won't accept it so you're still clinging on.

This is detrimental to you and your career.

It would be better to cut things off quickly.

My personal life and work are separate.

I respect your advice at work,

but I make my own decisions in my personal life.

Xia Lin, you're not alone.

Do you know how much the team behind you has been impacted

because of the news about Ling Yizhou?

I apologize to have caused the team so much trouble.

I will do my best at work but this is non-negotiable.

I won't allow this to happen.

You cannot meddle in my personal life with such disregard for boundaries.

I apologize.

Sorry, Xia Lin.

I did not consider your feelings,

but I hope you can understand

that I did all this for your future.

I'll delete the account, okay?

I'll do it right away and handle the fallout.

What are you going to do?

I'll have to announce that your account was hacked

and you were asleep at the time.

So you weren't aware of this.

Okay.

Don't do something like this again.

Your team crossed the line.

How could they post this without your approval?

The comments are saying that

you're distancing yourself from Ling Yizhou as soon as things go bad.

I didn't expect it either.

I woke up

to find that we've broken up.

That's right.

Since you're not ready to break up,

shouldn't you explain it to Mr. Ling?

Boss.

-Hand it over to our legal team. -Okay.

Let's go.

He turned his phone off.

Forget it.

There's a statement online.

He'll probably see it.

The situation is complicated enough.

There's no way to explain it.

I think that

since Mr. Ling already admitted that he had a crush on you,

then he has nothing more to hide.

Besides,

you and Yao Liang weren't in a relationship.

Mr. Ling wouldn't have been crazy enough to commit murder.

He's very self-disciplined.

He would never drink and drive.

I don't think he's a suspect.

I did a lot of thinking last night.

I came to understand one thing.

What I can be certain of is that Ling Yizhou didn't do this.

I just can't figure out why he deceived me.

After finding the data on me and the mask,

I realized that

we met a long time ago

and he had fallen for me back then.

It just so happens that Yao Liang was also at the bar.

There has been too much on my mind lately.

I didn't know how to react.

I just wanted some time alone.

I didn't plan on breaking up with him.

I told you my idol is innocent.

It's Mr. Jin's doing.

Xia Lin must be beating herself up

for breaking up with him over this.

-Wasn't her account hacked? -You believe that?

She must have deleted it because of all the hateful comments.

LINGSHI GROUP'S ATTORNEYS POST AUDIO RECORDING

PROVING LING YIZHOU DID NOT INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENT

So it seems

Mr. Ling had nothing to do with Yao Liang's car accident.

What a terrible injustice.

He probably wanted to find evidence and fix the problem on his own.

It must be a terrible feeling to be suspected by his loved one.

EVIDENCE HAS BEEN REVEALED

IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT

Is that how you see me?

Mumu.

Answer me.

Hello, the number you dialed is turned off.

Jia Fei, let's go and see him.

Ms. Xia!

Our boss really isn't here.

Where is he?

I'm not sure.

He just left.

All right, thank you.

-Thank you. -You can leave now.

I'll ask Wen Li.

Feifei, Ms. Xia, why are you two here?

I want to ask you something.

Don't be scared.

Come on.

Go. Hurry.

Hurry up!

Ling Yizhou!

I'm not the one

who uploaded the breakup post.

I don't have such intentions.

It doesn't matter if you were the one who posted it.

What matters is that you said you wanted time apart.

So let's give each other some space.

No.

There was too much to process at the time.

I didn't know that we met much earlier.

I felt as if I was kept in the dark about so many things.

I didn't know how to react.

I came to apologize.

I shouldn't have questioned your character.

Okay, I understand.

Ling Yizhou!

Stupid!

Idiot.

Sorry, I'm not talking about you.

Miss, can you help me take a photo?

Just one. Thank you.

Okay.

Turn around.

Can you turn around?

What are you doing here?

My friend is helping me take a picture.

What a coincidence.

Are you here for business?

Why don't we go to eat after you're done?

I don't know how long my meeting will last.

Sorry. Maybe next time.

Do you like Chu Yan?

Feifei, I think Ling Yizhou is really angry this time.

What should I do?

So what?

-Just win him back. -How?

He's ignoring me.

You two are in the same boat.

By the way,

my name is Ruan Meng, but you can call me Xiaoyou.

-Ruan Meng? -Xiaoyou?

-I see. -I see.

You're pursuing Chu Yan?

Not really.

I just want to see him all the time.

Look at you two.

Don't call yourselves modern women.

The female characters in my script are more admirable.

If you're so amazing, give us some ideas.

I've written so many love stories.

This is a piece of cake.

The three of us will form an alliance

called the Alliance in Pursuit of Love.

-Alliance in Pursuit of Love? -Alliance in Pursuit of Love?

Yes, and as your trusted adviser,

I guarantee you'll reach your goals in no time at all.

If you want true love,

you'll have to go step by step.

The first step is to know the enemy in order to win.

Do you think you know the person you like?

You don't know him at all.

Or you might only know a little bit about him.

At this point,

we need a spy.

King Bomb!

I won again!

I'm so sorry.

Tape the paper on yourselves.

Feifei, how come you asked me to come over to play cards?

I know!

You must think I work too hard, don't you?

You wanted me to come out and have some fun, right?

-I must be right. -Wen Li.

I have something important to tell you.

What could be more important than the game?

Let's talk after we're done.

Mr. Wen?

Do you know what Ling Yizhou has been doing lately?

I follow a code of professional ethics.

You can't even tell me?

I am loyal only to my boss.

Wait!

Hello, my name is Ruan Meng.

Hi.

So...

I want to ask...

I want...

-Let's talk after we finish playing. -I...

You...

You...

You...

-You... -Enough.

Get down.

You're embarrassing.

You two are idiots.

Wen Li.

Who did you say you're loyal to?

Aren't you missing someone?

I am loyal to my boss at work,

but in love,

I am loyal to you.

Do you know what is most important between lovers?

It's trust!

I have a lot of trust in you.

You should have trust in me too, right?

Yes.

Wen Li, make a peace sign.

A photo?

Linlin.

Wait, you guys!

You can't team up on me like this.

I'm sure you'll do a good job as our spy.

You'll supply us with reliable intel.

Boss doesn't seem hurt on the surface

but he is just using work to distract himself.

I've noticed that he has been absent-minded during meetings.

This is a good sign.

It means that Ling Yizhou still cares about you.

Chances of success are high if you act now to win him back.

What about Chu Yan?

Tell me about Chu Yan.

I haven't had much contact with Chu Yan lately.

It's okay.

He's easier to figure out than Ling Yizhou.

I'll find out more for you.

Okay!

After doing our homework, comes the second step.

Create a chance encounter.

That sounds cliché, but it works

because every person believes in fate.

Extra credit points if you manage to get body contact.

Body contact...

I'm an expert at creating chance encounters.

Look.

Chu Yan and I don't have any social connections,

so I have to rely on chance encounters.

Even if I don't get to see him, I'll create chances to bump into him.

Your awareness and proactive approach are excellent.

What about you, Linlin?

I have a thick skin for this,

but there's nothing I can do if he doesn't want to see me.

So what?

Don't we have someone on the inside?

I...

Can I make a tiny request?

-Go ahead. -Go ahead.

Can we pretend that I was never here?

We didn't see you today.

I'll delete it.

Bye!

As if!

What is wrong with you?

Were you playing me for a fool?

You fell for Ling Yizhou's trap again.

The recording is now public.

Are you telling me it's fake?

Can't evidence be fabricated?

And is Lingshi Group not related at all to the car accident?

He pushed all the blame onto Mr. Jin because Mr. Jin is no match for him.

Isn't it obvious?

You're right.

Ling Yizhou would certainly come up with a way to escape blame.

No matter how you slice it,

they ruined Yao Liang's life.

That's right.

Ling Yizhou has hurt a lot of people.

Aren't you hot?

Lower the temperature.

BOJUE PHOTOGRAPHY

I think the overall result is pretty good.

What do you think?

The background is how I want it

but these outfits don't seem to match me or the scenery.

Can we try on other outfits?

Miss, these were the outfits you chose during your fitting.

But I'm not satisfied with the photos.

Besides, the look would be different out here compared to in a room.

Miss, we confirmed these outfits in advance.

I'm afraid you can't request more outfits now.

What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm being unreasonable?

I'm sorry for being late!

There was traffic.

I am one of the stylists.

I was supposed to be in charge of styling the bride.

Why don't I help you with a new look?

Let's go.

All right.

This is a traditional dress.

It fits in nicely with the local scenery.

-We're in an ancient town. -It's not bad.

This costume looks luxurious and grand.

You can try this one too.

It's a bit simpler,

but it'll showcase your figure.

-It's okay. -Not bad.

-The scenery is beautiful. -Mr. Chu.

Ms. Ruan, thank you so much.

We're very pleased with today's photo session.

Mr. Chu, you chose an excellent stylist.

I'm glad you're satisfied.

Bojue Photography's goal

is for customers to be left with lasting memories

while traveling and taking photos.

Honey, I think we could consider other styles

and have a few more photo sessions with Bojue Photography.

That would be wonderful.

-Liu? -Coming.

They are interested in more photo shoots.

You can discuss the details with them.

Okay. Sir, please come this way.

-Watch your step. -We'll be going first.

You were a big help today.

I had no idea how to handle her.

It's nothing. Women understand other women.

You could hire a few more female stylists

for a more diverse range of opinions and perspectives.

That's something to consider.

-Let's go. -Okay.

What's the matter? Did you sprain your ankle?

I'm fine.

Come, I'll help you find a seat.

Feifei?

Is Linlin inside?

Is she here?

I didn't see her.

Smart.

Take a few photos for me.

Okay.

What should I do?

Ling Yizhou,

based on the storyline, shouldn't you give me CPR?

Is that so?

I can do it for you now.

I really did choke on the water! It wasn't an act!

Ling Yizhou!

Sit here and rest for a bit.

I'm fine.

I'll just rest at home.

By the way, what were you doing here?

Last time, you said you were traveling here.

What about this time?

I'm here for work.

Last time, I discovered how beautiful the scenery is.

I can take photos here of my model wearing my clothes.

Your clothes?

Yes, I design my own clothes.

People kept asking me where I bought my clothes,

so I went ahead and created my own indie brand.

It's gaining a lot of attention.

I'm even getting stressed about it.

Right.

When you go out dressed like this and people look at you differently,

don't you get mad?

I'm used to it already.

After all, I'm not wearing these clothes for other people.

If you like something,

you should have the courage to accept its downsides as well.

I want to spread the happiness that I get from my dresses

to others who also love them.

I hope that people who didn't understand before

can learn to admire different kinds of beauty.

After all, there are already so many restrictions in life.

Why can't we wear what we want?

For example, look at what I'm wearing today.

I knew it. You need to treat your foot right away.

Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital.

Go slowly.

No broken bones.

However, it'll take time for the swelling to go down.

Avoid strenuous exercise during this time.

Apply medication twice a day.

Okay.

Ruan Meng, wait here.

I'll bring the car over.

Okay.

Ladies, step two was successful.

What are you giggling at?

Do you think Chu Yan has fallen for me?

He asked me twice about my foot.

He even said he'll bring me dinner tonight.

Do you think I should get changed?

What should I wear?

You're a lousy adviser.

We used the same trick, so why are the results so different?

Chu Yan is being so gentle with her

while Ling Yizhou is still treating me with biting sarcasm.

I finally understand the saying,

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

Right, Xia Lin?

Ruan Meng, I must commend you.

You're a self-taught genius.

Not at all.

The third step I'll teach you today

is making him feel a sense of responsibility toward you.

The rose tamed the little prince.

Though there are millions of other roses in the world,

you must become the only one he cares about.

Needing his care when you're injured is the best example.

Get it, Ms. Xia Lin?

Ling Yizhou, I'll be the one doing the chasing this time.

Wen Li, how many bosses do you have?

You're my only boss. I am loyal only to you.

Really?

I'm sorry, Boss.

I promise it won't happen again.

I wasn't blaming you.

It's so late. What are you doing?

Drinking before bed can help you sleep, honey.

Did you hear something?

It's the air-conditioning.

Why would the air-conditioning work when the power is out?

-Are there pets in your office? -No.
