Episode 12 recap: Song Yao's mother is critically ill.

Song Yao hurriedly rushed from the wedding venue to the hospital. Just as she was about to go in to see her mother, she was stopped by the doctor outside. Song Yao anxiously watched her mother being treated from outside, feeling very worried. Her mother was her whole hope, and she couldn't even imagine her mother leaving her. She waited outside anxiously. Ji Chengchuan also hurried to the hospital and saw Song Yao there, feeling distressed. As soon as he reached Song Yao's side, the doctor came out and told Song Yao that her mother's condition was not optimistic and that the family should prepare themselves mentally.

Song Yao pleaded with the doctor over and over again to save her mother. At this point, she was completely distraught. Ji Chengchuan heard the doctor say that there was still hope, but the surgery would be difficult. Ji Chengchuan thought of the professor and wanted him to come and help with the surgery for Song Yao's mother. Jiang Nan Xuan was very worried that the professor would discover Ji Chengchuan's true identity, but Ji Chengchuan felt that they had to deal with the current situation first and leave other matters for later.

The professor arrived, and Ji Chengchuan believed that the surgery for Song Yao's mother would surely be successful. Song Yao and Ji Chengchuan waited outside the operating room. Song Yao kept counting the number of times the light flashed. Ji Chengchuan told Song Yao that she could cry if she wanted to, that she didn't have to hold back in front of him. Song Yao couldn't hold back any longer. She felt very sorry for Ji Chengchuan. The bride had run away from her own wedding, and she felt that her mother's situation was like a big black hole with no support for herself.

Song Yao recalled when her mother had been sick when she was a child, with no other family members around. Song Yao took on the responsibility of taking care of her mother at a very young age. Later, Gu Zi Jun's mother came to the island and took her away. Song Yao knew that she often caused trouble and offended many people, and she had been living cautiously all these years.

The professor told Song Yao that she had already passed the life-threatening stage and that it would depend on the patient's willpower to determine whether she would wake up. The professor didn't want Qin Hao to come back and interfere in this matter, but Qin Hao felt that certain things needed to be resolved. Song Ling Ren told Ji Chengchuan that the matter of entering the board of directors might have to be put on hold because of this incident.

Ji Chengchuan asked Song Ling Ren to investigate Song Yao, hoping that all of this was just a coincidence. Song Yao was very grateful to Ji Chengchuan for helping her this time. She saw unfavorable news about Ji Chengchuan online and felt that she had caused trouble and had to help Ji Chengchuan resolve it.

Ji Chengchuan informed the board of directors and even made a bet, saying that if he failed, he would voluntarily withdraw. Ji Chengchuan saw Song Yao voluntarily live streaming to clarify things for him, but the netizens kept criticizing him. He hurried back. Song Yao saw those people intensifying their attacks and angrily confronted the netizens. When Song Yao saw Ji Chengchuan return, she quickly turned off the live stream, but unexpectedly, it wasn't closed and the netizens saw it. Thus, the rumors continued to spread.

The netizens suddenly realized that they were eating dog food (a metaphor for feeling jealous or envious of others' romantic relationships). Liang Jing Yi, upon seeing the news, was furious and asked Song Yao to meet up. Song Yao asked Ji Chengchuan to accompany her, and he gladly agreed. Liang Jing Yi was infuriated by Song Yao's actions and felt that Song Yao was using her own tactics against her, so she angrily left.

Shen Shuang Shuang watched her idol singing alone with her and Sheng Si Lin wanted to use this opportunity to win over Shen Shuang Shuang. As expected, Shen Shuang Shuang fell into the trap. Gu Zi Jun was also successfully won over by Sheng Si Lin.

Sheng Si Lin successfully infiltrated Song Yao's inner circle. Sheng Si Lin didn't believe that Song Yao would fall in love with Ji Chengchuan and wanted to play the role of a white knight to save Song Yao. Meanwhile, Song Yao was taking care of her mother in the hospital and wanted to prepare a meal for Ji Chengchuan.

When Ji Chengchuan returned home, he thought there was a fire, but he saw the meal prepared by Song Yao, which warmed his heart. Seeing that Song Yao's hand was injured, Qin Hao decided to personally cook a meal for her. Seeing Song Yao looking beautiful, he couldn't help but take a picture and share it on his social media.

While Sheng Si Lin was eating instant noodles with Shen Shuang Shuang and Gu Zi Jun, he wanted to post something on social media. However, when he saw that Ji Chengchuan had already shared a photo of a sumptuous meal, Sheng Si Lin felt the need to take immediate action. While Song Yao was having a meal, Shen Shuang Shuang called her. Song Yao hurriedly went to meet her, and when Ji Chengchuan saw that Sheng Si Lin was also there, he knew that Sheng Si Lin must have been up to something. He considered Sheng Si Lin to be a playboy without much ability, and not a worthy opponent.

Sheng Si Lin felt that Ji Chengchuan was looking down on him and felt a great sense of shame.
