The episode opens with an intense confrontation. Fu Linshen fiercely argues with his mother, Yang Sufang, over her forceful arrangement of a meeting and marriage with Cheng Xin (Xinxin). Yang Sufang threatens to sever their mother-son relationship and invokes an old "childhood engagement" between the two families, along with promises made to Cheng Xin's deceased parents, forcing Fu Linshen to take responsibility. To ease the deadlock, Yang Sufang proposes a one-month trial period. If Fu Linshen still doesn't love Cheng Xin by then, she agrees to their divorce. Just as Fu Linshen reluctantly agrees, the meticulously dressed protagonist, Cheng Xin, arrives, signaling the beginning of an awkward and tentative "marriage first, love later" story.
