Episode 12 recap: The truth behind the plagiarism incident is revealed.
Tang Xin proposed the fifth revision plan, but it deviated greatly from the original fantasy setting, which would make the movie lose its unique flavor. Feng Cheng didn't think it was a good idea, while other colleagues in the editing department believed that no matter how they changed it, they couldn't escape the accusation of plagiarism. Some of them lost their motivation. Tang Xin felt very upset, so Lu Zhi Xing gave her some time off to go home and adjust.
Tang Da Wei is Tang Xin's father, a person with a low level of education, but he couldn't put down Tang Xin's book. He had a special notebook to record his emotional journey while reading "Dreaming for You." Tang Xin was deeply moved when she saw it, realizing that Tang Da Wei was supporting her in his own clumsy way. Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
Early the next morning, Tang Ding Ding called Tang Xin and informed her that Tang Yu had made a pledge to confront those who were trying to harm Tang Xin directly. Tang Xin was extremely worried, so she rushed back to the city in the afternoon and went straight to Tang Yu to ask him why he did it.
Tang Yu admitted that he had personal feelings for Tang Xin, but the most important thing was that as a producer and the one in charge of Time Film, he had great confidence in Tang Xin's book and believed it could make money for the company. Tang Xin was concerned about the possibility of financial loss and felt guilty, but Tang Yu reassured her and told her to focus on writing the script while he would take care of everything else.
Tang Ding Ding knew that hiring an online army to attack someone was illegal and wanted to sue the person behind it. Huo Chen Dong agreed with Tang Ding Ding's reasoning but suggested discussing it later and advised Tang Ding Ding to have a good meal first.
Tang Yu was ready to send a lawyer's letter. After reviewing the drafted document, he found that the tone was not firm enough and the wording was not precise, so he asked his secretary to make some changes. While Tang Ding Ding was eating, she suddenly let out a scream, frightening Huo Chen Dong, who thought she had been caught by Tang Yu for eating. However, it turned out that Tang Yu had sued all the marketing accounts on behalf of the company.
Upon hearing this, Huo Chen Dong praised Tang Yu for acting swiftly and suggested celebrating with Tang Ding Ding. Lu Zhi Xing purposely brought a pile of books for Tang Ding Ding to read thoroughly and write her thoughts on them. Tang Ding Ding couldn't help but complain that it was harder than the college entrance examination, but she promised to do her best. Lu Zhi Xing knew there were too many books and originally wanted to help Tang Ding Ding deliver them to the company, but Tang Ding Ding didn't want to bother Tang Yu, who had a lot on his plate lately. So she left with the books by herself.
Tang Xin didn't want to passively be attacked, and Tang Yu had already identified, based on the information provided by Tang Xin, that someone close to Tang Xin had plagiarized her work. Soon, Tang Yu discovered the author of "A Thought, Three Lives," and it turned out to be Sun Jieping, who attended the same university as Tang Xin.
Tang Xin wanted to force Sun Jieping to reveal her true colors, so she intentionally posted a color palette on Weibo to prove her innocence. Tang Yu wanted Da Jiang Film to back down, so he deliberately had Huo Chen Dong naturally leak this information to Zhu Jiang. However, Zhu Jiang, upon receiving the news, had no intention of stopping the project "A Thought, Three Lives." Instead, he brought Sun Jieping and wanted her to prove that Tang Xin was the plagiarizer. But Sun Jieping knew in her heart that she was the one who plagiarized, so she could only tell Zhu Jiang that Tang Xin could not produce the manuscript as evidence.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiang knew that the manuscript was in Sun Jieping's possession, and Tang Yu would never let Sun Jieping off easily. To persuade Sun Jieping to completely eliminate Tang Xin, Sun Jieping hesitated for a long time and eventually released the manuscript online before Tang Xin. Seeing that the plan had achieved its goal, Tang Xin couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Tang Yu had originally planned to sue Sun Jieping directly, but Tang Xin wanted to have a chat with her. Soon, the two of them met under Tang Yu's arrangement.
Sun Jieping maliciously mocked Tang Xin, saying that she only had the confidence to confront her because of Tang Yu's support. When Sun Jieping was about to leave, Tang Xin directly revealed her trump card. It turned out that the doodles on the manuscript were a signature designed by You Huan for Tang Xin. The most interesting part of this signature was that it had to be read backward. Sun Jieping saw that it was indeed Tang Xin's name and quickly begged for mercy.
Tang Xin looked at Sun Jieping tearfully pleading, thought about what she had done, and decided to ignore her and leave with Tang Yu. However, when Tang Yu was about to sue Sun Jieping, Tang Xin chose to let her go. It was because Sun Jieping regarded her work as her child and wanted to be a pure author, unwilling to let her work be in the center of public opinion.
Tang Yu respected every choice made by Tang Xin, and Sun Jieping also posted an apology on Weibo. Da Jiang Film immediately terminated its contract with Sun Jieping, and everything was settled. Tang Yu escorted Tang Xin home, and as Tang Xin was about to close the door, Tang Yu quickly stepped forward, insisting on staying at Tang Xin's home for twenty minutes, being persistent and shameless.
