Episode 5 recap: Tang Xin intended to give the bookmark to Lu Zhi Xing.
Tang Ding Ding revealed her identity and explained that the credit card she just used belonged to Tang Yu. This made Tang Xin feel somewhat guilty because Tang Yu knowingly sold expensive clothes to Tang Ding Ding but was still willing to foot the bill. However, Tang Xin didn't need those feelings of guilt.
You Huan, seeing that Tang Yu's sister was being taken advantage of, quickly presented Tang Ding Ding with handmade items as a way to ease the tension. Tang Ding Ding really liked those clothes and asked Tang Xin to inform her when new designs were available. With farewell gestures from Tang Xin and You Huan, Tang Ding Ding left.
Lu Zhi Xing invited Tang Xin to meet again. This time, when Tang Xin heard Lu Zhi Xing say that there was no reason, he just really liked his novel, she realized that her feelings for Tang Yu were similar. As a result, she decided to let go of her obsession with signing a contract with Time Vision Media and agreed to sign with Lu Zhi Xing after the copyright expired. This made Lu Zhi Xing extremely happy, and the two ended up drinking together.
Lu Zhi Xing and Tang Yu were college classmates, so he talked a lot about Tang Yu. For example, Tang Yu was particularly prone to jealousy and insisted on having vinegar with every meal. He also mentioned how she would wake up in the middle of the night to practice dancing. But what impressed Tang Xin the most was that Tang Yu was very good at cooking fish, which reminded her of six months ago when she was reading a recipe book and Tang Yu made the exact dish right after she finished reading it. Now she realized that he had known how to make it all along.
In order to go out for a meal with Huo Chen Dong, Tang Ding Ding disguised herself as if she were a secret agent, making it difficult for people to recognize her. She justified it by saying that she didn't want Tang Yu to misunderstand that she was with Huo Chen Dong, but deep down she actually wished they were together.
Huo Chen Dong had a principle of not starting trouble but also not avoiding it. When he heard Tang Yu's name, he instinctively looked around, which made Tang Ding Ding feel somewhat uneasy. Huo Chen Dong and Tang Ding Ding saw Tang Xin and Lu Zhi Xing having a pleasant conversation in the restaurant. The next day, Huo Chen Dong went to tell Tang Yu about it, which made her mood very bad, and she wanted to hold a meeting with the screenwriting department immediately.
Huo Chen Dong quickly reminded Tang Yu that it was already time to leave work, which dispelled her thoughts. Instead, she scheduled the meeting for the next morning at ten o'clock. Tang Xin had many fans, and when they heard that she was going to collaborate with a person surnamed Lu, they were all excited about the possibility of turning her book into a film or TV series. For a while, fans speculated about who would work with Tang Xin.
Tang Yu called the meeting to find out Tang Xin's attitude, but she was surprised to learn that Tang Xin wasn't interested in the good script "The Beginning." Tang Yu criticized Tang Xin for not being proactive and then asked her to come to her office privately. Tang Yu wanted to know why Tang Xin didn't renew the contract with Time Vision Media and if it was because of her. At the same time, Tang Yu mentioned that she was about to start the project "Dreaming for You." However, Tang Xin had learned to refuse. She clearly pointed out that Tang Yu didn't like that genre of drama, which was why she hadn't filmed it in the past four years. Now that she had found Lu Zhi Xing, who truly appreciated the novel, she wouldn't change her mind for money reasons.
Tang Xin couldn't help but feel that Tang Yu didn't like her, and by extension, didn't appreciate her book. Without giving Tang Yu a chance to explain, she turned and left. When she was leaving the office, she ran into Tang Yu in the underground parking garage. However, Tang Yu didn't greet Tang Xin with a friendly face, which made Huo Chen Dong sense that something was wrong. He knew that the two of them were at odds and couldn't help but be interested in watching the drama unfold.
Feeling frustrated and with no outlet for her emotions, Tang Yu latched onto the issue of Huo Chen Dong and Tang Ding Ding having a private meal together. She arranged to meet Huo Chen Dong at a boxing gym and vented her frustrations on him, leaving Huo Chen Dong feeling miserable as he became Tang Yu's punching bag. But at the same time, it confirmed his belief that Tang Yu cared about Tang Xin.
Lu Zhi Xing invited Tang Xin to have a meal together, and they continued their discussion about the copyright. Due to Lu Zhi Xing's endorsement on Weibo, "Dreaming for You" had gained more popularity and had additional printings. Tang Xin didn't demand a higher price due to the increased demand but instead proposed sticking to the original price agreed upon with Time Vision Media. What she valued more was Lu Zhi Xing's love for the novel.
Lu Zhi Xing was deeply moved by her attitude. He promised that once the contract was signed, they would start filming next year for sure. As they continued talking, they became happier. When they were leaving, they happened to encounter Tang Yu. The meeting between Tang Yu and Lu Zhi Xing was filled with tension as Tang Yu openly mocked Lu Zhi Xing for poaching and undermining her. However, currently, both the book and Tang Xin were still under Time Vision Media.
Lu Zhi Xing stated that he and Tang Xin were just friends having a meal together, and he ridiculed Tang Yu for being petty. Tang Xin decided to leave first, and Tang Yu called out to her, but Tang Xin was in her rebellious phase and completely ignored Tang Yu, walking away directly. In her office, Tang Yu was conflicted about Tang Xin's current attitude towards her. She overheard office gossip about her and Tang Xin, with someone mentioning the most complicated types of relationships, which piqued Tang Yu's curiosity. So she opened the door and directly asked about it.
