Episode 30 recap: Fan Xiao Xiao has been arrested.
Qi Lian knew that Jiang Bo had been frequently visiting Fan Xiao Xiao recently, hoping to record any conversations about the experimental cabin. Jiang Bo was reluctant to help, but Qi Lian reminded him that it was the only way to stop Fan Xiao Xiao and rescue Jiang Xiao Yuan. Jiang Bo eventually agreed but was quickly discovered by Fan Xiao Xiao. In no time, Fan Xiao Xiao gained control over Jiang Bo and used his trust with Jiang Xiao Yuan to send a message to her through Jiang Bo's WeChat, asking for her assistance with a client's makeup.
With Jiang Xiao Yuan's upcoming competition the next day, Jiang Bo's request raised her suspicions. She immediately called Qi Lian, and the two of them drove to the designated location. However, upon arrival, they found the place to be desolate and nothing like an art studio. Unbeknownst to them, there were many people skateboarding in the small plaza. As soon as Jiang Xiao Yuan entered, she became the target of someone's attention.
Qi Lian accompanied Jiang Xiao Yuan to find the art studio. At the time, a woman wearing a veil was painting and asked Jiang Xiao Yuan to wait. Meanwhile, someone asked Qi Lian to move his car, and as soon as Qi Lian left, the woman removed her veil, revealing a partially disfigured face that shocked Jiang Xiao Yuan. At the same time, a man who had been skateboarding at the entrance had somehow entered the studio and caught Jiang Xiao Yuan off guard, injecting her with a tranquilizer. Jiang Xiao Yuan immediately collapsed.
Qi Lian reached the entrance and realized there was no delivery truck as they had been led to believe. He quickly turned around and rushed into the art studio. By then, Jiang Xiao Yuan had already disappeared, and due to concerns about Jiang Xiao Yuan being ambushed, Qi Lian was also taken away. Upon learning that the assistant not only captured Jiang Xiao Yuan but also took Qi Lian, Fan Xiao Xiao angrily criticized the assistant for their lack of intelligence. After all, Qi Lian had always been in contact with the police, and his disappearance would surely attract their attention. Fan Xiao Xiao demanded that the assistant quickly retrieve the chip from Jiang Xiao Yuan, but Jiang Xiao Yuan had not reached the critical point yet, and the chip's data was useless for the upgrade system. Ignoring the assistant's advice, Fan Xiao Xiao insisted that the chip must be removed within twenty-four hours and suggested using external stimuli to force Jiang Xiao Yuan to reach the critical point earlier.
In order to obtain successful data, Fan Xiao Xiao brought Jiang Xiao Yuan, Qi Lian, and Jiang Bo into the laboratory. After dismissing all the staff, Fan Xiao Xiao woke the unconscious Jiang Xiao Yuan by splashing cold water on her and put on gloves while brandishing a knife. In order to make Jiang Xiao Yuan suffer, Fan Xiao Xiao viciously stabbed the unconscious Qi Lian.
Jiang Xiao Yuan watched in agony, wanting to intervene but unable to do anything due to being restrained.
Jiang Bo, seeing Fan Xiao Xiao's madness, quickly knelt down and begged her to stop. Fan Xiao Xiao looked at Jiang Bo in this state and ripped off the tape from his mouth, reproaching him for betraying her for Jiang Xiao Yuan. Ignoring Jiang Bo's pleas, she lunged at Qi Lian again. Jiang Bo, seeing Qi Lian injured, pleaded with Fan Xiao Xiao to stop, but instead, it enraged her, and she stabbed Jiang Bo, who was trying to intervene.
Qi Lian regained consciousness and witnessed this scene. He suddenly exerted force and used his feet to tightly hold Fan Xiao Xiao's neck, seeking revenge for Xu Jing Yang. Jiang Bo tried to persuade Qi Lian to think about Jiang Xiao Yuan's well-being and not take a life. However, Fan Xiao Xiao took advantage of the situation, picked up the knife, and stabbed Qi Lian once again. Fortunately, the police arrived in time, and Qi Lian, Jiang Xiao Yuan, and Jiang Bo were rescued.
Qi Lian was urgently taken to the operating room. Just before entering the operating room, Qi Lian asked Jiang Xiao Yuan to promise him that she would participate in the competition. Jiang Xiao Yuan agreed. Once Qi Lian entered the operating room, her critical point suddenly arrived, and she struggled between illusion and reality. In the end, with the support of Qi Lian and her friends in the real world, she overcame herself and participated in the makeup competition as planned. Although she didn't win the championship, her talent received recognition even from the usually strict Jiang Bo.
Jiang Bo had been entangled by Fan Xiao Xiao's nurturing for many years, but he never truly hated her. In his eyes, Fan Xiao Xiao was once the best mother. However, later on, Fan Xiao Xiao fell seriously ill, which led her to become what she is today. Now that Fan Xiao Xiao has received punishment, Jiang Bo's life will also take a positive turn. Jiang Xiao Yuan looks forward to showcasing her skills together with Jiang Bo.
As another Spring Festival arrives, Jiang Xiao Yuan returns home with Qi Lian to visit Grandma Jiang. Seeing the fireworks Grandma Jiang specifically bought, Jiang Xiao Yuan feels particularly happy. Qi Lian, witnessing her cherish her family like this, reconciles with his father, Qi Maoqing. Jiang Xiao Yuan had two dreams last night, two different paths from her current life. Now she has chosen this path, believing that through her own efforts, her future will be bright. Qi Lian, who accompanies her, will also pull her back when she goes off track, and they will be together forever.
