Lin Xiaoxiao brags to her best friend Jiang Sheng about finding a mysterious, high-paying job with a monthly salary of 100,000, but is vague about company details and refuses Jiang Sheng's offer to verify. When Jiang Sheng casually reveals she has been promoted to secretary for Li Tingyan, the president of Li Corporation, Lin Xiaoxiao reacts unusually agitated and begins to subtly probe into Jiang Sheng's relationship with Li Tingyan. Her jealous and ulterior motives begin to surface, foreshadowing the subsequent identity theft and betrayal.

This episode follows Lin Xiaoxiao, the protagonist Jiang Sheng's "best friend," who, under the guise of concern, probes Jiang Sheng's opinions about President Li Tingyan. Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately spreads negative rumors about Li Tingyan's chaotic private life. Jiang Sheng outwardly dismisses Li Tingyan, claiming she only "desires his body" and that they are from different worlds, reassuring Lin Xiaoxiao. However, when the scene shifts, Lin Xiaoxiao, after Jiang Sheng falls asleep, secretly calls Li Tingyan. She declares she has made her decision and is willing to go to "Lan Garden," revealing her true intention of getting close to Li Tingyan behind her facade of fake concern.

The episode opens with Lin Xiaoxiao's inner monologue, rationalizing her betrayal of her best friend Jiang Sheng in pursuit of "immense wealth." Subsequently, Lin Xiaoxiao is picked up in front of her old residence by a luxury car. She boasts to her neighbor, Aunt Huang, that the owner of the car is merely her boyfriend's assistant, implying her boyfriend's distinguished status. Aunt Huang is both envious and jealous. That evening, Aunt Huang informs Jiang Sheng, who has just returned home, about the incident, mentioning the detail of the "three eights" license plate. Jiang Sheng shifts from disbelief to shock and confusion, unable to comprehend why her best friend would hide all of this from her, setting the stage for future conflict.

Lin Xiaoxiao impersonates Jiang Sheng and moves into the male lead Li Tingyan's luxurious villa as "CEO Li's woman," enjoying pampered treatment. Meanwhile, the real heroine, Jiang Sheng, faces malicious harassment and workplace bullying from her superior Linda on her first day at Li Group, being tasked with an impossible assignment in minutes. In a rush to catch an elevator, Jiang Sheng bumps into and complains about CEO Li Tingyan without knowing who he is, leading to their first formal meeting in an awkward atmosphere, setting the stage for future conflicts and relationship developments.

Secretary Jiang Sheng, while sharing an elevator with her boss Li Tingyan, awkwardly claims she was chosen for her "uncool" appearance to show she has no ulterior motives, inadvertently saying she "doesn't see him as a man," which displeases Li Tingyan. Subsequently, Li Tingyan's special assistant mentions settling in a "Miss Lin." In the evening, Jiang Sheng, preparing to leave work for a date with friends, is forcibly assigned by her boss Linda to pick up Li Tingyan from a restaurant. She is shocked to learn from Linda that Li Tingyan actually has a girlfriend.

Secretary Jiang Sheng learns from colleagues that her boss, Li Tingyan, already has a girlfriend and that she is the only woman living in his private residence, "Lanyuan," which sparks her dissatisfaction. In the parking lot, Jiang Sheng mistakenly believes Li Tingyan's girlfriend is her best friend Lin Xiaoxiao and privately curses Li Tingyan as a "scumbag." Later, while on the phone with her friend Han Jiayin, she complains about Li Tingyan to his face while saying one thing and doing another behind his back, only to be caught red-handed by Li Tingyan. Just as they are in an awkward confrontation, Li Tingyan's sleazy business partner, Boss Wu, appears and harasses Jiang Sheng with inappropriate remarks and unreasonable demands, igniting a new conflict.

Boss Wu verbally harasses Jiang Sheng in the parking lot. President Li Tingyan arrives just in time, violently intervenes, and immediately cancels an important cooperation with Boss Wu to protect Jiang Sheng. On the way home while taking the drunk Li Tingyan, Jiang Sheng is confused and moved by his actions. Li Tingyan, emboldened by alcohol, possessively declares Jiang Sheng as "his person" and uses the idiom "even beating a dog depends on its owner," stirring emotions in Jiang Sheng. Meanwhile, Jiang Sheng's "best friend," Lin Xiaoxiao, is meticulously getting ready at home, determined to "cook the rice into cooked rice with Li Tingyan," laying the groundwork for future conflicts.
