Episode 6 recap: The story takes another twist.
Fei Ke had always been critical of Zhang Xuan, but later Zhang Xuan understood that it wasn't Fei Ke who found her unsophisticated, but Fei Ke's mother. After being rejected by Fei Ke, Zhang Xuan decided to undergo plastic surgery, completely changing her appearance.Through a gold watch on the table, Zhang Xuan noticed something was wrong and asked Fei Ke about the watch. Fei Ke remained calm and said it belonged to Lao Jin. He explained that Lao Jin got drunk last night, called Fei Ke his brother, and even gave him this expensive watch worth hundreds of thousands. Zhang Xuan dismissed her suspicions and Fei Ke changed the subject, mentioning that his mother also attended the performance last night.
Fei Ke's mother was pleased with Zhang Xuan's performance on stage, so Fei Ke revealed their romantic relationship to her. Although his mother didn't express a clear stance, she didn't object either. Afterward, Fei Ke arranged for Zhang Xuan to meet his mother formally. Before the meeting, Zhang Xuan spent a lot of effort selecting clothes, but Fei Ke criticized them as either too unsophisticated or outdated. In short, none of the clothes were suitable for meeting his mother.
After finally choosing suitable clothes, Zhang Xuan started applying makeup while Fei Ke was texting on his phone. Zhang Xuan asked him who he was talking to, but Fei Ke didn't say anything. When she turned her head and saw her heavily made-up face, Fei Ke immediately said that they were going to a high-end restaurant called Cloud Peak's Western Cuisine, not for a stage performance or to participate in the county TV station's Spring Festival Gala.
His words were too harsh, so Zhang Xuan immediately removed her makeup and snatched Fei Ke's phone. She saw his conversation with his mother and finally realized that Fei Ke's mother didn't approve of her at all, and she hadn't agreed to meet at the restaurant. Fei Ke tried to comfort Zhang Xuan, but his words of consolation had no effect. Instead, they triggered even more feelings of inferiority in Zhang Xuan, and her self-esteem led her to break up with Fei Ke.
For Cheng Hao, Chen Shu Fa, and others, the matters between Zhang Xuan and Fei Ke were very personal, and there was no need to discuss them openly.
Zhang Xuan then revealed a surprising detail. On the night of the gathering with Mr. Jin, the drink she had was spiked, and her life started to fall apart after breaking up with Fei Ke.
After the breakup, Zhang Xuan was filled with anguish and even began self-harming. Eventually, she managed to contact Fei Ke again, and her roommate accompanied her to the private room to find him. However, Fei Ke didn't suggest getting back together. Zhang Xuan saw other attractive women in the room and developed the idea of getting plastic surgery.
She went to a plastic surgery hospital and used her credit card to undergo the procedure. Later, she moved out of the dormitory and started living in a hotel. There was a period of time when she couldn't get in touch with Fei Ke. When she saw Fei Ke again, it was still at a KTV. Fei Ke was impressed by her beauty, but their relationship couldn't return to what it used to be. Naive Zhang Xuan, in order to stay by Fei Ke's side, started frequenting various KTV venues, playing the role of a friend with Fei Ke.
To become even more beautiful, Zhang Xuan continued to undergo cosmetic procedures and injections without heeding the doctor's advice to quit smoking and drinking. Lost in the world of indulgence and debauchery, she not only failed to change Fei Ke's mind, but she also began to regret her decision to get plastic surgery. He Shan asked what Fei Ke had deceived her of, and Zhang Xuan earnestly replied that Fei Ke had taken away her innocence. Chen Shu Fa and Cheng Hao, both men, sneered simultaneously, considering innocence worthless.
Next, it was He Shan's turn to tell her story with Fei Ke. However, Cheng Hao grew suspicious of He Shan because he noticed that He Shan had been guiding others to tell their stories from the beginning, and he was able to point out overlooked details. Cheng Hao found a recording in He Shan's bag and discovered that He Shan had been investigating Fei Ke and the people around him.
Cheng Hao confronted He Shan, and suddenly, Chen Shu Fa stood up and revealed that he had hired He Shan to investigate Fei Ke. The person who had invited them wasn't Fei Ke, but Chen Shu Fa himself. Chen Shu Fa opened the sofa he had been sitting on, and inside was Fei Ke, bound and gagged.
