Zhou Ying and her father put on a performance to win some money for themselves, and Wu Pin arrives in the guise of a businessman.

As Zhou Ying tends to Shen Xingyi's injuries, her frankness leads to both trouble and a closer connection with him. Xingyi gets upset when she declines his offer of becoming his mistress, which requires bearing a child, and punishes her harshly.

Zhou Ying attracts trouble due to her clumsiness at Wu Pin's residence. She quickly impresses her classmates with her knowledge of math and business.

Shen Yuesheng is suddenly found murdered. Wu Pin thinks that Zhou Ying is not safe in the Wu residence anymore and decides to send her off.

The Shen family is surprised to see Wu Pin attend Yuesheng's funeral, and is attacked after the ceremony. Shen Xiying is held responsible and is arrested.

Wu Weiwen believes the only way to wake Wu Pin up from his coma is marriage. Zhou Ying steps in when Hu Yongmei does not show up at the altar.
