A “sweet” secretary with a hidden agenda. A CEO who sees right through her—and lets her stay anyway. Lies, tests, and a game neither of them wants to lose. And somewhere along the way… it stops being just a game.

In the dead of night, Li Weixi confronts Jia He in the office. Initially, Jia He dismisses Li Weixi as too ambitious and unqualified. However, Li Weixi is prepared, pointing out that despite Jia He's nominal control of the Jia Group, real power rests with his stepmother, Wang Meilin, and his favored younger brother, Jia Mu, who has returned to the country. Jia He is facing a crisis of his authority being undermined. Using this as leverage, Li Weixi presents a two-month-long risk assessment of the Mo Group's (Jia He's intended marriage partner) financial flows as his bargaining chip. Finally, Li Weixi gently mends the cuff of Jia He's sleeve, demonstrating sharp insight and execution. He then asks again if he is qualified, intensifying the game of strategy and tension between them.

Li Weixi passes the initial test as Jia He's secretary. Jia He then presents her with a gown and orders her to accompany him to that evening's engagement party. When Li Weixi inquires about the task, Jia He directly states he wants her to pose as his girlfriend and disrupt the banquet. Faced with Li Weixi's polite refusal, citing it's outside her job scope, Jia He forcefully threatens her with termination. Internally furious at Jia He's arrogance, Li Weixi deliberately asks if he wants to watch her change. Jia He unexpectedly replies "yes" and calmly lights a cigarette. Li Weixi curses him as a pervert in her mind, then makes a stunning entrance into the banquet hall after changing.

Jiahe meticulously selects a dress, transforming her secretary Li Weixi into the center of attention. She instructs Li Weixi to be "fierce and bold" tonight. At Jiahe and Mo Xiaomi's engagement party, Jiahe arrives late but makes a stunning entrance with Li Weixi, sparking gossip among the guests. When Mo Xiaomi questions him, Jiahe publicly introduces Li Weixi as his girlfriend. Enraged, Mo Xiaomi humiliates Li Weixi, who sharply retorts. Ultimately, Jiahe announces the cancellation of the engagement in front of everyone and passionately kisses Li Weixi.

This episode focuses on the power struggles and emotional confrontations within the Jia Corporation. At the engagement banquet, Jia He publicly rejects the arranged marriage with Mo Xiaomi by kissing Li Wei Xi, causing Mo Xiaomi to break down. Her stepmother, Wang Mei Lin, immediately leads board members to confront Jia He, threatening to remove her as CEO due to the financial risks of the failed alliance, and intending to promote her own son, Jia Mu. Jia He counters the board by offering increased performance as leverage. When Wang Mei Lin, enraged, attempts to resort to physical force, Li Wei Xi steps in to protect her husband, dominantly declaring herself as Jia He's "family" and officially declaring war on Wang Mei Lin.

This episode showcases the tense psychological game between Li Weixi and Jia He. In the banquet hall corridor, Li Weixi exposes Wang Meilin's scheme to use Mo Xiaomi for a marriage alliance with Jia He, only to discard her later, attempting to leverage this against Jia He. Jia He responds assertively, disgusted by being manipulated, and powerfully carries Li Weixi away. Later, in the car, Li Weixi's inner monologue reveals her true objective: to obtain a DNA sample to prove Jia He is illegitimate. Jia He notices something unusual about Li Weixi's drink and issues a warning, their mutual suspicion escalating the conflict.

Jiahe confronts Li Weixi in the car, questioning why she publicly attacked her stepmother, Wang Meilin. Li Weixi responds ambiguously with "for the boss's pleasure" and "for the person," while boldly challenging Jiahe's single persona. After getting out of the car, Li Weixi潇洒ly sheds her high heels and walks away, an act that sparks Jiahe's intense interest and suspicion. Subsequently, Jiahe makes a phone call, ordering her subordinates to thoroughly investigate all background information on Li Weixi from birth to the present.

Jiahe, through an in-depth background check, uncovers the tragic past of his secretary, Li Weixi, and uses this information as leverage to propose a "contract girlfriend" agreement. He wants Li Weixi to cooperate with him in a charade to help him gain complete control of the Jia Group and escape a forced marriage. Li Weixi appears to agree to the contract to pay for her adoptive mother's medical treatment, but she harbors a hidden agenda. The episode concludes by revealing Li Weixi's true objective: she has been secretly plotting revenge for years, aiming to make Jiahe kneel before her mother and beg for forgiveness, thus uncovering the complex family feud between them.

This episode showcases the intricate power struggle between Li Weixi and the two Jia brothers. Jia Mu attempts to win over Jia He's secretary, Li Weixi, to his side and have her work for him. However, Li Weixi fiercely rejects him with sharp wit and merciless ridicule, directly stating that Jia Mu is inferior to his elder brother and is a "mama's boy." Yet, this seemingly loyal act towards Jia He is actually a deliberate performance by Li Weixi for Jia He, who is watching from behind the scenes. Jia He, in complete control through surveillance, views Li Weixi as a sharp "good knife" in his hand.

In this episode, Mo Xiaomi desperately pleads with Jia He in the office not to break off their engagement, while harboring intense hostility towards Li Weixi. Li Weixi, as Jia He's secretary, enters the office to remind him about a meeting and is verbally insulted by Mo Xiaomi. Li Weixi calmly retorts, pointing out that Mo Xiaomi's intrusion into the office is the true display of rudeness. Jia He publicly expresses his support for Li Weixi through intimate gestures and invites her to the family dinner that evening for Jia Mu. Facing Mo Xiaomi's taunt about being kicked out by her stepmother, Wang Meilin, Li Weixi boldly retaliates, proposing a bet to see who will be kicked out first that night.
