An unexpected fire broke out in the editing studio, resulting in the complete destruction of the hard drives containing footage from "Poisonous World." Jiang Xiao Shan suspects that Lv Jing is responsible for burning the hard drives, but there is no evidence to support this claim. He Jia Ru returns to Pingcheng, where experts express little hope of recovering the hard drives. Overwhelmed with despair, He Jia Ru takes full responsibility.

It is natural for Jiang Xiao Shan to have suspicions about Lv Jing. However, the more one tries to shift the focus onto someone, the more it indicates that person's involvement. Lv Jing is a powerful woman who may have some shortcomings in innovation, but she excels in interpersonal relationships. It would be foolish if she attempted to eliminate her competitor, He Jia Ru, by setting fire to the hard drives.

From a logical standpoint, it is highly unlikely that Lv Jing would take such a risky action. The danger far outweighs the potential benefits, making it an unworthy gamble. Therefore, it can be preliminarily concluded that Lv Jing is not responsible for the arson, as it lacks logical reasoning, and there must be another culprit.

Upon returning home, He Jia Ru's family treats her with caution, which only adds to her sense of oppression. Seeking solace, He Jia Ru visits Tian Tian's bakery, where her best friend consoles her, suggesting that if she loses her job, she can work at the dessert shop. This brings some relief to He Jia Ru's mood.

Her best friend's comforting words provide a temporary consolation for He Jia Ru. However, if she does lose her job, she would not actually work at Tian Tian's dessert shop. In order to maintain a lifelong friendship, these two individuals should clearly differentiate between personal interests and economic matters; otherwise, the so-called best friends will inevitably become enemies.

Hou Yuan Yuan tells Jia Qi not to contact Chen Li anymore, stating that Chen Li no longer cares about their mother-daughter relationship. During the Spring Festival in Pingcheng, Chen Li spends New Year's Eve alone, drinking in a fast-food restaurant, highlighting her desolation. While everyone eagerly anticipates reuniting with their loved ones and enjoying the bliss of a harmonious family during this festival, for those who are alone, it only intensifies their sense of loneliness and despair. They face empty houses and silent televisions, accompanied only by solitude.

Despite having a seemingly happy family, Chen Li finds herself in such a sorry state due to misunderstanding with Hou Yuan Yuan, but also because of her own unstable and selfish desires deep within her heart. Sometimes, it is necessary to let go of certain things and establish clear boundaries with certain people. Unless one has intentions to pursue a different life, it is better to adopt a humble attitude and quell the restlessness within the heart.
