Episode 17 recap: Xie Quan Jia helps her best friend see through the scumbag.
Guchuan doesn't know who Zhao Yangyang is, so he asks Liu Lang why he is so wronged. Xie Quan Jia says that she used to be wrongly accused all the time, and later intentionally gave her a nickname. Unexpectedly, she now receives a letter from her friend, telling her that she is getting married. Everyone is confused because getting married is a good thing for a best friend. Why did she reply with the word "separation"? Does Xie Quan Jia like her friend's fiancé?
Fan Zhong Ju just took out the written words and they were torn apart by a bird. At this time, Guchuan complains that Liu Lang stole his things and holds the leaves that Liu Lang often brags about. This is evidence. Liu Lang explains that it was done by a bird, and they have the pigeon's letter as proof. Everyone takes the letter and goes to find the owner of the pigeon, Xie Quan Jia. As soon as they arrive, they see her getting angry, and everyone immediately retreats. They learn that Xie Quan Jia is upset because her friend is foolishly marrying a despised man. That man often belittles her friend and flirts with other women.
The next day, Xie Quan Jia is in a better mood because her friend has already broken up with that man. Her friend has set off to Changle City to find her. Xie Quan Jia hopes her friend can be as free as she is and reminds everyone not to mention anything about not being able to get married to avoid causing her friend sadness. Guchuan analyzes that her friend Zhao Yangyang is someone who is obsessed with love. Xie Quan Jia asks Guchuan to help change her. Guchuan initially wants to refuse but ends up saying that her friend's matters are his.
Zhao Yangyang arrives at the Li residence, and Xie Quan Jia takes the opportunity to introduce her friends to her. She praises Guo Dong Li for being young and promising, but when she learns that he is married, she immediately avoids him. Later, when she finds out that Liu Lang is the future successor, she warmly greets him. Fan Zhong Ju, the author of "Shanhejing," impresses Zhao Yangyang, but she learns that he already has a girlfriend and feels sad.
To comfort Zhao Yangyang, Xie Quan Jia specifically introduces Guchuan to her. Guchuan starts talking about wheat, making everyone feel awkward, but Zhao Yangyang's eyes light up. During the welcoming banquet, Zhao Yangyang talks about how unlucky her life is and how she doesn't have the strength to love, while Guchuan suggests that it's important to solve the problem of hunger first. Xie Quan Jia comforts Zhao Yangyang while asking Guchuan to help persuade her. Zhao Yangyang shares that her fiancé broke up with her because of her fingernail, and Guchuan believes that the scumbag is just a waste of air, and he resolves to help her.
Afterward, they go boxing and shopping together to change her mood. The next day, Zhao Yangyang proactively asks Guchuan about the day's schedule. She feels fulfilled in life and had a dream last night where she rejected her fiancé, making her feel great. Her task for today is shopping, and before Xie Quan Jia leaves the house, the two of them have already disappeared.
That evening, Zhao Yangyang asks why Xie Quan Jia, who has so many outstanding men in the Li residence, is still single. She originally wanted to learn calligraphy from Fan Zhong Ju, but Yuhuan is holding a stick, which immediately frightens her.
In addition, Guo Dong Li, a young and promising man, has become a boss, which is indeed impressive but unfortunately, he is married. She even advises Xie Quan Jia to consider Liu Lang since he is the future successor. Xie Quan Jia reminds Zhao Yangyang not to think that every man is good, especially Guchuan. At this point, Zhao Yangyang claims that Guchuan is even better and even fantasizes about having children with him, already having their names planned out. Xie Quan Jia and she are speechless. She is just someone whose mind is consumed by love, unable to listen to anything, completely infatuated with a man.
As soon as Guchuan wakes up, Zhao Yangyang drags him to a teahouse without bringing Xie Quan Jia along. Guchuan and Zhao Yangyang return, explaining a bunch of reasoning to her, while Xie Quan Jia feels that Guchuan is taking advantage of the situation. He is the real scumbag. The two of them argue because of this. During the meal, they don't eat and stare at each other, not even speaking, leaving Liu Lang stuck in the middle to pass messages.
After the meal, Zhao Yangyang says goodbye to Xie Quan Jia, expressing that these few days have broadened her horizons and increased her confidence. She promises not to go back to her hometown to find that scumbag. When Zhao Yangyang leaves, Xie Quan Jia prepares many gifts for her. When Guchuan says goodbye, he mentions that he will write to them about something. Xie Quan Jia feels that Guchuan is once again plotting against her best friend. They argue while walking, and Xie Quan Jia accidentally trips. Guchuan quickly catches her, and this action instantly dissipates their anger. She remembers that Zhao Yangyang once told her that all the profound truths Guchuan taught her were about Xie Quan Jia.
A warm feeling arises in Xie Quan Jia's heart. It turns out that Guchuan can't go a few words without mentioning her. One month later, during a meal, Guchuan and Xie Quan Jia still ignore each other. It turns out that Zhao Yangyang returned to her hometown and reconciled with her fiancé. She even blamed Xie Quan Jia for almost missing her chance at marriage because of her. If they don't attend the wedding, they can't get away without giving a gift.
