Abandoned by the family she spent her whole life trying to please, Elara suddenly finds herself with nowhere to go. Then she crosses paths with Vincent Hale—a powerful man known for keeping everyone at arm’s length. One unexpected encounter changes everything. Because for the first time, the man who lets no one in can't seem to stay away from her.

This episode tells the fated encounter between the impoverished female student Shen Zhouyuan and the powerful magnate Gu Sichen. Shen Zhouyuan pins her hopes on the school's first-place scholarship to raise money for her brother's leukemia surgery. Meanwhile, Gu Sichen, the head of the Emperor Group, visits the school for sponsorship, accompanied by his friend Ye Chen. Gu Sichen, unable to have heirs and severely allergic to women, refuses to seek a partner. However, Ye Chen firmly believes a master's prophecy: Gu Sichen will meet his destined person at noon today. As the clock strikes twelve, Gu Sichen and Shen Zhouyuan brush past each other in the hallway, their fleeting eye contact signaling the intertwining of their destinies.

This episode follows Shen Zhouyuan, who is taken to a nightclub by her selfish and greedy brother, Shen Haochen. Shen Haochen claims to be using his connections to help his sister find a job to earn money for surgery, but in reality, he intends to sell Shen Zhouyuan to the sleazy Boss Wang for 5 million. Inside the nightclub's private room, Gu Sichen is drinking with his friend Ye Chen, who is trying to cure Gu Sichen's "heterophobia." Gu Sichen unexpectedly recognizes Shen Zhouyuan through the surveillance feed or a隔窗. Later, during her service, Shen Zhouyuan is forced by Boss Wang to keep him company and he attempts to assault her. Just as Shen Zhouyuan desperately struggles, Gu Sichen coldly appears and intervenes, stopping Boss Wang.

Gu Sichen, the head of the Gu family, rescues Shen Zhouyuan from being assaulted by Boss Wang at a nightclub. During the rescue, Gu Sichen is surprised to find that he is not allergic to Shen Zhouyuan, a rare occurrence as he is usually allergic to women. Driven by a "heat" within him, Gu Sichen takes Shen Zhouyuan to a hotel and they have intercourse. Afterwards, he promises to take responsibility. Shortly after, Shen Zhouyuan discovers she is pregnant with Gu Sichen's child, leaving her conflicted about whether to seek him out.

Through his friend Ye Chen's investigation, Gu Sichen finally finds Shen Zhouyuan, the girl he had a one-night stand with a month ago and who is the only one he is not allergic to. In his memory, Gu Sichen left in a hurry for work, leaving his business card, but never heard from Shen Zhouyuan, mistakenly believing she didn't want him to take responsibility. At the hospital, Gu Sichen witnesses Shen Zhouyuan acting intimately with her attending physician, Zheng Yu, and mistakenly believes they are a couple. Out of pride and principle, Gu Sichen decides not to intrude on her "new life" but still leaves fifty million yuan as compensation, leading to a misunderstanding of mistaken identities.

Shen Zhouyuan is informed by Doctor Zheng Yu that she is carrying triplets but is in a weak condition and needs hospitalization for recuperation. Gu Sichen's friend Ye Chen witnesses their interaction and misunderstands. Entrusted by Gu Sichen (but actually driven by personal bias), Ye Chen finds Shen Zhouyuan and offers her a 50 million check as "breakup compensation," cruelly calling her "promiscuous." Heartbroken, Shen Zhouyuan mistakenly believes this is Gu Sichen's true intention. She resolutely refuses the money, declares she will no longer pester him, and plans to raise the children alone. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhouyuan's mother, who favors sons over daughters, and her sick brother Shen Haochen suddenly appear. They forcibly abduct her, intending to compel her to undergo surgery (to provide medical sacrifices for her brother).

Gu Sichen's grandmother, upon learning her grandson has finally met Shen Zhouyuan, the only girl he's not allergic to, strongly urges him to "poach" her, even threatening to die if the Gu family line ends. Though Gu Sichen has principles and refuses to be a "homewrecker," his friend Ye Chen decides to investigate privately. Meanwhile, Shen Zhouyuan is suffering inhumane torment from her biological family. Her own mother and brother, Shen Haochen, forcibly abduct her, demanding she continue to be a "mobile blood bag" for her ailing brother. Shen Zhouyuan desperately calls for help.

Shen Zhouyuan is forcibly taken to an underground clinic by her cruel mother and sick brother, Shen Haochen. They intend to extract a certain resource from her (implied to be to save her brother) through surgery for payment, disregarding the fact that she is pregnant. To protect her unborn child, Shen Zhouyuan desperately fights back and reveals that the child's father is Gu Sichen, the richest man in the capital. However, her family mocks and humiliates her, and her mother insists on anesthetizing her for the surgery. Meanwhile, at the Gu family's old mansion, Grandma Gu urges Gu Sichen to find the girl from that night. Just then, his friend Ye Chen brings shocking news: the girl, Shen Zhouyuan, is not only pregnant but is carrying triplets.

Grandma Gu is overjoyed to learn that Shen Zhouyuan is pregnant with Gu Sichen's triplets, seeing it as the Gu family's last hope for survival. Her friend Ye Chen reveals Shen Zhouyuan's tragic past: she grew up in a severely patriarchal family, where she was long treated as a "blood bag" for her gravely ill brother, Shen Haochen. The scene shifts to the hospital. Shen Zhouyuan's mother, desperate to save her son, disregards the safety of Shen Zhouyuan's unborn babies. She forces Shen Zhouyuan to sign a surgical waiver and attempts to proceed with the operation against her will. In despair, Shen Zhouyuan remembers Gu Sichen's business card and manages to send a distress message before her phone is smashed by Shen's mother.

Gu Sichen, through his investigation, finally unraveled the misunderstanding and confirmed that Shen Zhouyuan had no boyfriend and that the child she carried was indeed Gu family's bloodline, much to Gu's grandmother's ecstatic joy. However, Shen Zhouyuan was in grave danger. The wicked Shen mother, in a bid to save her son Shen Haochen, colluded with doctors to forcibly abort Shen Zhouyuan's fetus, compelling her to undergo surgery. Upon receiving Shen Zhouyuan's distress message, Gu Sichen rushed to her rescue with his men. Amidst the desperate torment in the operating room, Shen Zhouyuan pleaded with her mother to spare the child, her life hanging by a thread.
