Episode 19 recap: Chen Shu Zhen suddenly fell ill and passed away.
Mai Cheng Huan came to the hospital to visit Chen Shu Zhen, only to find that she had already passed away. Deeply saddened, Mai Cheng Huan was grief-stricken. Yao Zhi Ming rushed over upon hearing the news. In her will, Chen Shu Zhen left her garden villa to Yao Zhi Ming, and the Xing'an Hotel group to Mai Cheng Huan.
Earlier that day, Chen Shu Zhen had been discharged from the hospital, in high spirits as she danced with the roses that Mai Cheng Huan had gifted her. Suddenly, she suffered a heart attack and collapsed. Yao Zhi Ming had picked up the custom-made cheongsam to take Chen Shu Zhen home from the hospital.
Mai Cheng Zao accompanied Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian to the hospital early on, only to learn that Chen Shu Zhen had passed away due to the failed treatment of her heart condition. Knowing Chen Shu Zhen's love for dancing, Mai Cheng Huan had bought her a pair of dance shoes, and rushed to the hospital, devastated upon seeing that Chen Shu Zhen had already departed.
Family and friends attended Chen Shu Zhen's funeral. Yao Zhi Ming and Mai Cheng Huan placed the cheongsam and dance shoes in front of her casket, mourning her passing. The lawyer played a video recording of Chen Shu Zhen's final messages to her loved ones.
Chen Shu Zhen felt her life had been fulfilling, surrounded by the love of her family and friends. She left behind heartfelt words for each of them, including her non-biological grandson Mai Lai Tian, urging Liu Wan Yu to live more freely, and wishing for Mai Cheng Huan's happiness. She was most concerned about Yao Zhi Ming, hoping he would become closer to the Mei family.
After the funeral, Mai Cheng Huan sat in the gazebo, weeping. Liu Wan Yu approached her, and the two reconciled, with Mai Cheng Huan tending to Liu Wan Yu's injured feet. Mai Lai Tian invited Mai Cheng Huan to have dinner at home, but she wanted to visit Chen Shu Zhen's residence first.
Mai Cheng Huan came to the nursing home and stood in the room where Chen Shu Zhen had once lived. She recalled Chen Shu Zhen's lively demeanor, but now it was a different world. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions as she lay down on Chen Shu Zhen's bed and fell asleep.
Yao Zhi Ming had lost his only family member. He sat in the courtyard, crying uncontrollably as the sadness overwhelmed him. That night, Chen Shu Zhen appeared in Mai Cheng Huan's dream and had a heartfelt conversation with her, and Mai Cheng Huan bid farewell to Chen Shu Zhen with tears.
Yao Zhi Ming came to the nursing home early and shared his childhood experiences with Mai Cheng Huan. His father's business failed, and creditors frequently came to demand repayment. His mother had to wander around with him. At a critical moment, Chen Shu Zhen came to Yao Zhi Ming's aid, bringing money to pay off his father's debts and providing living and tuition expenses.
Yao Zhi Ming worked hard, and today he has achieved success. Mai Cheng Huan believes that Chen Shu Zhen is watching over them from heaven and blessing them. Mai Cheng Huan quickly immersed herself in her busy work, and Shelly advised her to take a proper rest, but Mai Cheng Huan just gave a bitter smile.
Yao Zhi Ming was devastated and worked overtime without eating or sleeping, trying to numb himself. He Dong was worried, so he asked Mai Cheng Huan to persuade Yao Zhi Ming. Mai Cheng Huan came to see Yao Zhi Ming, tidied up the room, and urged him to go visit Chen Shu Zhen's grave with her.
At the cemetery, Mai Cheng Huan brought Chen Shu Zhen's favorite butterfly cookies and advised Yao Zhi Ming to rest well so that Chen Shu Zhen could visit him in his dreams. Yao Zhi Ming wanted to tell Mai Cheng Huan something, but Chen Shu Zhen's lawyer suddenly called to notify Mai Cheng Huan of a meeting. Yao Zhi Ming decided to wait until after her meeting with the lawyer.
Yao Zhi Ming, Liu Wan Yu, Mai Lai Tian, and Mai Cheng Huan arrived at the law firm on time. The lawyer read Chen Shu Zhen's will, which stated that she had given all her jewelry to Liu Wan Yu, all her assets to Mai Cheng Huan, and a villa in the garden to Yao Zhi Ming, as well as entrusting the Xing'an Hotel Group to Mai Cheng Huan.
