Faced with Gu Yu Fan's public poaching attempt and verbal provocations, Su Wantang stands her ground and retorts fiercely. After the confrontation, Su Wantang discovers Lu Ming and her best friend Lin Chuchu together. They hastily use "preparing a birthday surprise" as an excuse, raising her suspicions. At the end, Su Wantang wakes up from a nightmare, seemingly recalling painful past events. In shock, she witnesses a scene outside her door, setting the stage for future betrayal and revenge.

The episode opens with the revelation of the affair between the female lead Su Wantang's fiancé, Lu Ming, and her best friend, Lin Chuchu. In a hotel room, they plot not only to drug and incapacitate Su Wantang but also to steal her design drafts to enter a competition. Their plan is to have Lin Chuchu win the competition, then list the company to completely sideline Su Wantang. Su Wantang overhears their entire scheme from outside the door, igniting a fire of revenge within her. Afterward, Lu Ming falsely invites Su Wantang to meet with "new investors." Su Wantang calmly engages with him, sensing that Lu Ming is trying to lure her into an unknown trap.

Su Wantang is betrayed by her fiancé Lu Ming and her best friend Lin Chuchu. Lu Ming takes Lin Chuchu away under the guise of meeting a client, but in reality, they secretly go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married. Su Wantang sees through their scheme. As she prepares to gather evidence outside the bureau, she encounters Gu Yufan, a CEO who urgently needs to get married to inherit his family fortune but is stood up by his fiancée at the last minute. To escape Lu Ming, Su Wantang impulsively hugs Gu Yufan. Thus, two strangers with their own agendas cross paths, setting the stage for their subsequent contractual marriage.

The episode opens with the protagonist, Su Wantang, being betrayed by her ex-fiancé Lu Ming and her former best friend. President Gu Yuvan intervenes to "rescue" her and witnesses the entire scene. Eager to marry, Gu Yuvan rejects his assistant's "self-recommendation" and sets his sights on Su Wantang. Meanwhile, Lu Ming boasts to his business partner, Mr. Li, promising great success for their company. Gu Yuvan immediately calls Lu Ming, issuing an ultimatum for commercial competition. Finally, Gu Yuvan meets with Su Wantang, offering to help her reclaim everything. However, the true condition is not a business partnership, but a proposal for a contract marriage, leaving Su Wantang stunned.

To get revenge on her ex-fiancé Lu Ming and former best friend Lin Chuchu for betraying her, designer Su Wantang enters into a contract marriage with Gu Yufan, the CEO of Gu Group. Gu Yufan needs the marriage to secure his inheritance rights and promises to fully support Su Wantang. At the International Fashion Design Competition, Lu Ming and Lin Chuchu triumphantly win an award for plagiarizing Su Wantang's work and openly provoke Gu Yufan. However, at the crucial moment when Lin Chuchu is giving her acceptance speech, the competition president publicly exposes her work for suspected plagiarism of Su Wantang's, causing her to fall from grace instantly and fall into a major crisis.

At the award-winning launch event for designer Lin Chuchu's "Dawn Series," she is publicly accused of plagiarizing the work of her former best friend, Su Wantang. Lin Chuchu's current lover and Su Wantang's ex-fiancé, Lu Ming, vehemently defends her on stage, but is exposed by business rival Gu Yu Fan, who demands to see the design drafts. Cornered, Lu Ming is forced to call Su Wantang, luring her with marriage and the promise of helping her achieve her dreams, begging her to appear and lie to save the day. On the other end of the line, Su Wantang, while applying makeup, calmly listens, and finally agrees with a sarcastic "I'll help you," signaling the imminent start of a revenge drama.
