Episode 14 recap: The truth of the sister's case is revealed.
After Shen Qingru strangled Shen Qinghe, she disguised herself as Shen Qinghe, opened the window, tore up a letter, pretending to be depressed and unable to cope, and had the reporters take photos. After Shen Qingru finished everything, she changed back into her own clothes and prepared to leave. She coincidentally encountered Shen Qinghe's nanny and lied, saying that Shen Qinghe didn't want her to come in and asked the nanny not to disturb Shen Qinghe for now.
After Shen Qingru left, she went to accept an interview with the reporters. She denied that the person in the photo was her and claimed that she didn't know Qiao Yunfei. While Shen Qingru was explaining to the reporters that the person in the photo might not necessarily be Shen Qinghe, the nanny went upstairs and discovered that Shen Qinghe had hanged herself.
Gu Yuan went to Shen Qinghe's house to gather information and asked the nanny about Shen Qinghe's situation. He found out that Shen Qinghe and Shen Qingru had spent some time alone together. After talking to the nanny, Gu Yuan also had a conversation with Shen Qingru, who intentionally acted as if she couldn't accept the situation and didn't want Gu Yuan to inquire further.
Just as Gu Yuan was sorting out the clues of Shen Qinghe's case, Nie Xiaojing attempted suicide at home, and he had to go deal with it immediately. Nie Xiaojing was angry with Qiao Yunfei because his relationship with Duan Xiuchan and Shen Qinghe was complicated. She cursed at Qiao Yunfei and said she no longer wanted to be with him. Qiao Yunfei explained to Nie Xiaojing, stating that it was all acting and a diversion to shift Nie Xiaojing's attention. Meanwhile, Gu Yuan and the others found a way to save Nie Xiaojing. After Nie Xiaojing was rescued, Gu Yuan and Qiao Yunfei questioned her about Shen Qinghe's situation, wantingto know if the person who was with Qiao Yunfei was indeed Shen Qinghe.
Qiao Yunfei stated that he only had a private meeting with Shen Qinghe once, and it was only after he expressed his intention to divorce Nie Xiaojing that Shen Qinghe opened up to him. Based on Qiao Yunfei's words, Gu Yuan carefully analyzed the case and still found Shen Qinghe's actions before her death to be somewhat suspicious. Gu Yuan believed that Shen Qinghe closed the curtains to avoid being photographed by the reporters but deliberately opened the window and dropped the fragments of the letter, which seemed intentional.
Gu Yuan suspected that Shen Qinghe was murdered. At that moment, Che Su Wei brought the forensic report, indicating that Shen Qinghe was first strangled and then hanged. Gu Yuan suspected that the killer used the same method as Chen Fei, creating an alibi by creating a time difference. In Shen Qinghe's room, Gu Yuan discovered a water stain, and the fan was still running, further confirming his reasoning.
Gu Yuan believed that Shen Qingru used ice to make the chair tip over after she left, providing herself with an alibi. Che Su Wei agreed with Gu Yuan's idea and decided to visit Shen Qingru. This visit allowed her to discover that Shen Qingru was very different from the person they had previously encountered.
Shen Qingru no longer had obsessive cleanliness and was allergic to dog hair, which further confirmed to Che Su Wei that the person she saw was Shen Qinghe. After Che Su Wei's confirmation, Gu Yuan investigated the Shen sisters once again and brought Shen Qingru back to the police station for questioning. Shen Qinghe was unaware that her identity would be exposed, and when Gu Yuan called her Shen Qinghe, she instinctively agreed, revealing her own identity.
Once Shen Qinghe was inside the police station, she still didn't want to confess everything until Che Su Wei presented Zheng Xiaoyu's contract, which had Shen Qinghe's fingerprints on it. She had no choice but to admit her true identity. Zheng Xiaoyu and Shen Qingru were originally good friends who were selected by Fan Wenkai during a commercial performance. Eager for fame, Zheng Xiaoyu and Shen Qingru quickly signed contracts with Fan Wenkai. Fan Wenkai noticed their resemblance as twins and wanted to use that to create a gimmick, so he had one of them undergo plastic surgery.
Shen Qingru made great efforts to please Fan Wenkai, and eventually, Fan Wenkai had Zheng Xiaoyu undergo surgery to look like Shen Qingru. Meanwhile, Shen Qingru constantly stole the spotlight from Zheng Xiaoyu and trampled on her. Zheng Xiaoyu endured all the unfair treatment until she met Qiao Yunfei by chance and developed feelings for him. When Shen Qingru learned that Qiao Yunfei liked Zheng Xiaoyu, she believed that Zheng Xiaoyu had seduced him with her appearance. So she took on Zheng Xiaoyu's identity and got involved with Qiao Yunfei.
After the journalists exposed the truth, Zheng Xiaoyu found out about Shen Qingru's actions and couldn't bear it anymore, so she killed Shen Qingru. Zheng Xiaoyu admitted everything and made only one request to the police station: to have a perfect farewell performance in the identity of Zheng Xiaoyu. Gu Yuan agreed to Zheng Xiaoyu's request and allowed her to perform her last dance in the police station, bidding farewell to her entertainment career.
