Episode 7 recap: Gu Ji Ming's Past.
In the past, Su Zhen Zhen was left disabled after a car accident, and while she was still hospitalized, she felt desperate and tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrists. It was Gu Ji Ming who discovered her and called the doctor. Su's father asked Shang Lei to stay by Su Zhen Zhen's side, as she now needed someone to accompany her. Gu Ji Ming left Su's father (Su Zhe)'s business card, and a plan started to form in his mind.
The grand opening of Su Zhen Zhen's pottery shop was coming up. Jiang Guang Ming was asking Shi Luo what kind of gifts are usually given for a new store opening, and they went to the hotel together. To their surprise, Jiang Guang Ming's husband Xu Kang was there. It turned out that Jiang's mother had told him about Jiang Guang Ming's pregnancy, so he had taken time off work to come and take care of her, knowing that Jiang Guang Ming would not give up work just because of the pregnancy.
Xu Kang had booked a room next door, saying he wouldn't interfere with her work, and would just cook for her and take care of her. In the evening, Jiang Guang Ming called her mother and asked why she had told Xu Kang about the pregnancy. Seeing that her mother was about to nag her again, Jiang Guang Ming found an excuse to hang up.
The grand opening of Su Zhen Zhen's pottery shop was a success, and many people came, including Shang Lei. In the past, Shang Lei and the Su family had arranged a marriage for them, but at the time, Shang Lei had looked down on Su Zhen Zhen after her car accident and hospitalization. Now the situation was different. Su Zhen Zhen proudly introduced her fiancé, the renowned writer Gu Ji Ming, to Shang Lei. Gu Ji Ming, aware of their past relationship, made a point of saying he loved Su Zhen Zhen in front of Shang Lei, which made Su Zhen Zhen very happy.
Jiang Guang Ming and Shi Luo came to the shop opening and brought a gift, but did not stay long. Su Zhen Zhen asked Gu Ji Ming to see them off, and Jiang Guang Ming intentionally brought up Jiang Na. Gu Ji Ming's reaction was quick, saying he did not know her. This was precisely what Jiang Guang Ming was suspicious about, but he knew he needed evidence.
After they returned to the hotel, Xu Kang made soup and called both Jiang Guang Ming and Shi Luo to come and drink it, worried that Jiang Guang Ming might not want to. During the soup-drinking, Shi Luo accidentally discovered a magazine called "Nan Liu", which happened to be the magazine Gu Ji Ming had worked at before.
The two hurriedly took the magazine to the front desk, only to find that the hotel did not have a subscription to this magazine. This magazine belonged to Jiang Na, and it contained an article she had written, titled "Wheat Ears." Jiang Na was quite proud at the time, and the pen name she used in the magazine was Jiang Yin Lu.
The two then went to inquire at the magazine office, but found that the record of her submission was missing. The editor took the article and asked the other editors, and one of them recalled that the article had not been accepted for publication. Comparing it to another magazine, they found that only page 35 was different. Based on the clues available, Gu Ji Ming and Jiang Na seemed to know each other.
A year ago, at a banquet, Gu Ji Ming had no reputation, so he asked Su Zhen Zhen for help in reviewing his manuscript, but was rejected. He was later humiliated by Su Zhen Zhen's ex-boyfriend, which shattered his self-esteem. Feeling dejected, he took his novel manuscript and got into his car, but found that the luxury car parked next to him was too close, and the driver refused to move it, treating him with disdain.
Gu Ji Ming struggled to climb into his car through the window, his shame and anger making him cry. He saw Su Zhen Zhen and her ex-boyfriend driving away, and then he started his own car and followed the same mountain road. On the way, he discovered the car that had been in an accident and promptly rescued Su Zhen Zhen.
Su Zhen Zhen was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the doctor said her leg was disabled. Gu Ji Ming went to visit her, and the devastated Su Zhen Zhen could not accept her disability at first, and her emotions collapsed. Su Zhen Zhen's father, Su Zhe, thanked Gu Ji Ming for saving his daughter and offered him a bank card as a gift, but Gu Ji Ming declined.
Su Zhe did not insist, and instead gave Gu Ji Ming his business card. Shang Lei was willing to marry Su Zhen Zhen, but he would not love her in her disabled state. Su Zhen Zhen angrily told him to leave, and then tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrists in the hospital room. Fortunately, Gu Ji Ming came to visit her and saved her life again.
Gu Ji Ming returned home and contemplated Su Zhe's business card, and a plan began to form in his mind.
