Episode 1 recap: Lin Shuang discovered that Wei Ming is having an affair.
Lin Shuang (played by Zhang Xiaofei) felt a bit bewildered when she saw Jiang Xi (played by Zhang Jiani) approaching. She felt like she was seeing her past self, her former obsession. Jiang Xi didn't pay attention to her and simply ordered an iced Americano. Lin Shuang commented that their preferences were quite similar. Jiang Xi asked if Lin Shuang came to see her today to ask her to leave her husband. Lin Shuang said she didn't want to cause a scene, she just wanted to collaborate with her.
The story goes back two weeks ago when Lin Shuang was still a devoted wife and mother, taking care of her husband and children. She heard that her friend had given birth, so she hurried to the hospital. Holding the baby, everyone in the hospital envied her for marrying a handsome and wealthy husband. Wei Ming (played by Li Zefeng) enthusiastically introduced his product, claiming that sometimes even robots could understand his thoughts. Then he showcased his product, leaving a deep impression on everyone and claiming it was the best robot he had ever seen.
In the hospital, everyone praised Lin Shuang, saying she was lucky to have such a good husband. Her friend mentioned that her current task was to take good care of her husband, as someone as outstanding as him could be unsafe outside. Lin Shuang received a call from her mother, informing her that the money they had recently invested was losing value every day, and they wanted to withdraw it, but the other party disagreed. Lin Shuang said that if the latter half of the year was better, they might earn it back, and if they lost, she would make up the money for them. Lin Shuang arrived at the school at a critical moment and said that Guo Guo (her child) couldn't handle it emotionally, and sometimes intangible assets were more important than cars and houses; once Guo Guo learned all this, she would have judgment.
When Wei Ming received Lin Shuang's call, he straightforwardly said he still had work to do and wouldn't come back for dinner tonight. Lin Shuang took care of Guo Guo at home and immediately brought in the takeout when she heard it arrived. Wei Ming called her and said she could take it easy tonight, not cook, and take a day off. Then they exchanged a few sweet words and hung up the phone. Lin Shuang's daily work was taking care of the household and her husband and children. She had been living this kind of life for many years. Every time Wei Ming sent a message saying she worked hard, Lin Shuang would reply with a "thank you." Looking at the awards on the shelf, Lin Shuang could hardly recall her time working outside.
Lin Shuang asked Wei Ming when he came back, and he said he came back very late because he was busy with work lately, which caused him to neglect them. Lin Shuang said that this time she wanted to take the baby to learn ice hockey. Wei Ming said it wasn't suitable for girls to learn that. Lin Shuang mentioned that the coach said Guo Guo had talent, and she herself liked it. Wei Ming said it was just a suggestion and that ice hockey could be risky, and what if Guo Guo got hurt. He suggested that she learn ballet instead.
Lin Shuang asked Wei Ming if he used the extra money to buy financial products for his parents. Wei Ming said his extra money was approved by his wife, and it was just a small amount. After seeing Wei Ming off, Lin Shuang noticed a fingernail in his pocket and suddenly became nervous, remembering her friend's words. Jiang Xi intentionally avoided handling other business at the company, using Wei Ming's name as an excuse, as her purpose was to serve him. After Wei Ming finished talking about work, he took out a necklace and said he had bought it for her. Jiang Xi said she wanted something else, which was him. Wei Ming bluntly commented that she had a big appetite. Jiang Xi tested his boundaries, and Wei Ming said he had no boundaries when it came to her.
After doing some research, Lin Shuang found the nail salon and realized that many girls had the same nail design. She left and coincidentally saw Wei Ming eating outside near a ground floor window. Wei Ming was surprised to see her and quickly made up an excuse, saying she was the director of the company. Lin Shuang immediately felt embarrassed and said she was just here to buy a cake. Lin Shuang originally wanted to check Wei Ming's phone for secrets, but he beat her to it and commented that she was acting strange today. Wei Ming sensed that Lin Shuang was unhappy and tried to find a topic to get closer to her, but at this moment, Lin Shuang despised his behavior.
The next day, Lin Shuang arrived at the gym and the first person she saw was Jiang Xi, with her eye-catching nail design and innocent face. Lin Shuang was convinced that the woman in front of her was her husband's affair partner. Filled with anger, she approached Jiang Xi and slapped her hard across the face.
