Consequences

Xiu is packing and scared of her friend finding out why. Zhao is surprisingly agreeable. At work she hears buzz of a video and asks to leave early. There is a portion of the altercation and it puts them in a bad light. Right after her prior arrangements with the park holders was cancelled to have her rent raised, Zhao is sent the complete video which she posts in defense. She then apologizes to Xiu. I love their friendship. They are truly sisters through thick and thin and will defend each other no matter what. The friend even approves of her apartment sharing tho whether it’s because she’s worried about her safety or approves of Yu I’m not sure yet. Slimeball landlord gets rebuked strongly for the mess he has created when just appointed there. He is told to go and apologize. He is furious and sees the two driving away from the cafe and he actually tries to run all of them off the road. This has an unexpected additional consequence, they hit Pei’s car. Pei makes sure they are ok and now we see a cobra go after a rat, I gotta admit I find myself rooting for the cobra. I enjoyed him scaring the crap out of the rat and the evening continues to the police station to file reports. Zhao and Pei exchange info in case there are any further costs involved. He is wealthy enough he can just choose to toss the car and get one without defect. His view of corrected defect still making the object defective is an interesting choice. When he mentions the long game and has a smiley pic of Xiu on his phone I have to wonder if he’s after the girl or using her to get to Yu. He has had unexpected interest in her from the superior air in the elevator, to the more interested that his offer refused look, to the closer scrutiny of her personally measuring on the job site and her willingness to get in the face of someone she thinks will cause trouble for her boss on a project. I don’t think he is used to somebody out of the blue capturing his attention. The fact that Yu is obviously so invested in her in such a short time has piqued his interest as well. I really want him off the same continent as Xiu, but there is no denying he is intrigued enough to step in on three different occasions to protect her. Even his aide wants to understand his efforts. One thing worth noting is the consequence of Xiu converging paths with Yu and Pei. Whether by fate or coincidence her meeting of these two has inadvertently drawn their attention and has them acting completely out of character from their usual habits by becoming shields for her in time of need. The s hits the fan when dad once again just walks on in. Here I am so disappointed in his selfishness. I am clapping for Xiu standing up for herself and I am glad the dad reflected on her wishes growing up and how much she has already given up for him. He is so shortsighted. If he could see the behavior of these men he wants her to be an assistant to, I would like to think he would apologize to her. I really wanted Yu to say something on her behalf. The dad left when he started to speak and I think he was hoping to get a response from the staircase. She has gone into wallow mode again and Yu is tired of playing nice. He calls and makes her show up to fix the pipes. She finally admits he was right about the bomb of not telling her parents about the job switch. He countered with she was still standing and had defused it all by herself.🥰Zhao called happily recounting the apology she received and the promise that all prior agreements have been reinstated and there is no rent increase. Xiu is aware that Yu made the call questioning their choice of leadership. When Xiu thanks him he said he was just getting compensation for his hand.😂 They then hit the work table and continue contest design. She is a sponge soaking up insights from a master of the craft. He chides her when she makes the same mistake twice and she became even more determined to do well. He sees a worthy apprentice and her innovative ideas combined with his guidance is helping her speed along and make up for lack of degree. This is my favorite scene so far of them in real life. She is intently focused on her design following his refining touches and he is looking down on her with that start of a smile.🥰She is radiant because she truly loves this work and he admires and respects that kindred appreciation.They are far more romantic in the game, but this is how they could be as a real life couple creating the work they love in harmony. I find myself just as happy with this view of them. ❤️

Loyalty

Qin saves Xiu from the jerk by shooting the chandelier. Everybody scatters and they escape to outside. There is a moment when he asks about the watch and she tells him she will rely on her intuition and never betray him. 🥰 With the game, I am grieved with Xiu’s friends. They were so busy getting couple time for a change that they did not even once check on their friend to ascertain what kind of guy this “client” was. They not only left her flat they put her safety in question as well. This came to a head in the ballroom where that jerk claimed how fickle their friend was wanting to buy a new character, etc. he was verbally abusive and when Zhao stepped in he slapped her.🤬 Before hubby could respond Xiu went and slapped him hard enough for his ears to ring.👏🏻👏🏻 The game police arrive and in the confusion a statue is knocked over and Qin saves her. This was heroic, but his hand was injured as a result. Xiu takes him to the hospital but she is scrambling around looking inept in her attempts to assist. She feels so guilty and he is so calm. Fortunately it isn’t serious, but there is soft tissue damage that needs time to heal. This is untimely because the project deadline has been moved up. Omg. That park director is such a creep. He is worse than Pei because he is a liar, handsy, and a bully. He tried to blackmail Xiu into a date so that her friend’s coffee shop would not be in trouble for allowing a live in resident. She now tries to bargain to get Yu to move out and he isn’t budging. He does give her the pocketwatch she returned to him. That will be a coveted keepsake. When she opens it, she finds a picture of Yu and his dad. This explains his desire to be on that lane. To reduce negative publicity of the incident at the game, they decide to reimburse everybody that participated and offer discount tickets, They need to keep members happy and this seemed the best way to go about it. Yu knows that Xiu is being pushy about the apartment. To the point she is willing to share. He has almost put the pieces together and having Gong check up on the cafe. He has just added 2 years to their contract and I am hoping will have pull when jerky boy complains about the cafe and its resident. If he dares bring up Xiu, I want to see exactly how Yu responds to that. I did not think anybody could creep me out more than Pei. But this sleazy overbearing bully is so nauseating in his behavior. That he will slap women in public without fear or regret just shows how amoral he is as an individual. This is not a client worth having. I hope Zhao gets rescued from him and gets to keep her business intact. She has worked very hard to establish it. Xiu feels guilty about him and her friend and is making herself Yu’s girl Friday to take on any and all tasks Yu needs assistance with. This amuses him some as he gives way to a hint of a smile, but he knows something is up about where she’s been staying. He wants Gong to find the missing pieces quietly.

am so confused, Jeong U chose to remain quite…

am so confused, Jeong U chose to remain quite for 5 yrs & am 99% sure, the sec he realized that the project his company was working with was headed by Han Gyeol, he took on the job so they could work together. but the lack of communication is frustrating. Han Gyeol is justified in his anger & animosity. ************************************************************************* as him hearing Jeong U's bff telling his gf that Jeong U was dating & the rumors where just that... even though am sure it was a lie - Han Gyeol didn't think to ask & assumed wrong, but Jeong U's sudden disappearance & lack of communication cemented his conclusions. & now after 5 yrs just walking in like they were classmates & not in a relationship, anyone would be seeing red - especially if u don't come hat in hand, apologizing & explaining the ghosting.

Justice, closure, and quiet devotion

Episode 7 was deeply satisfying on many levels. Seeing Dynamism finally clear its name felt like a long-awaited relief, but what truly made this episode unforgettable was Hu Xiu’s emotional closure with her past. The wedding sequence was brilliantly executed—quiet, humiliating, and painfully deserved. The moment when Qi Ran dropped the ring, only to be forced to kneel in front of Hu Xiu to retrieve it, was powerful without being loud. It wasn’t revenge driven by anger, but by truth revealing itself naturally.Hu Xiu’s words to the bride were especially striking. Her calm apology, gratitude, and honesty showed how far she has come, while the bride’s reaction made it clear that dignity and respect matter more than appearances. It was cathartic to watch Qi Ran finally face the consequences of his actions.At the same time, Xiao Zhi Yu’s presence throughout the episode was quietly reassuring. From protecting Hu Xiu’s dignity to carrying her away from the chaos, his actions spoke louder than any confession. His lighthearted promise to create another award-winning design instead of worrying about consequences showed both confidence and care. The episode ended by revealing more about his complicated family ties, adding another layer of intrigue. Overall, this chapter delivered justice, emotional release, and a deepening bond between the leads in a way that felt both elegant and earned.
