Episode 23 recap: 冉姝 was startled.

冉姝 reopened the notebook written by Gu Yibai. Gu Yibai hurriedly came over and took the notebook away, telling 冉姝 that there was no ending anymore. 冉姝 was curious about what the world of writers like Gu Yibai was like. How did he have so many imaginative ideas? Gu Yibai himself didn't really know; he just felt that he had more ideas than others when he was a child.

冉姝 developed a professional habit and wanted to take notes to interview Gu Yibai. Gu Yibai earnestly asked 冉姝 if he could be her new beginning, if she could give him a chance. 冉姝 was momentarily stunned and didn't know what to say. Gu Yibai felt that this was an opportunity to make up for 冉姝 and give them both a chance. It didn't feel abrupt at all; in fact, they should have started long ago.

冉姝 reminisced about the past and felt that she finally had a family that loved her. Gu Yibai told 冉姝 that every encounter between them was actually a result of their deliberate coordination, whether it was making Zhang Zeyi jealous or deliberately letting herself be seen, leaving behind the bag, shoes, and letter for him to find 冉姝. All these things were carefully planned by 冉姝.

冉姝 returned to work at the editorial department. The editor-in-chief informed 冉姝 that the ending of Gu Yibai's new book had been written and asked her to pay attention to it during the interview. Gu Yibai showed 冉姝 the ending, and she was shocked when she saw that everyone turned out to be villains. She found Gu Yibai a bit scary.
