Ruan Nianchu, a quirky theater actress, encounters the aloof but intelligent Li Teng, who saves her during a crisis. After parting ways, they reunite …
Ruan Nianchu is an actress in the Xiwei Theater Company. She is optimistic, energetic, and loves the stage, wholeheartedly wanting to revive the declining theater troupe. However, beneath this sunny exterior, she harbors a secret: Five years ago, just after graduating from university, she went to the seaside in Taicheng to shoot a graduation project but was swept into the water by a wave.
Ruan Nianchu asks Li Teng about his relationship with Li Xiaoyan. Li Teng clarifies that it's just work. It turns out Li Teng is the boss of Yuntai Security Company, which is responsible for the banquet's security, with Jiang Hao being a key subordinate.
In the morning, Li Teng is tying his tie, and Jiang Hao helps him, suggesting that Li Teng should seize the opportunity now that he has reconnected with Nianchu. However, Li Teng decides not to disrupt Nianchu's life and plans to leave her as soon as he retrieves the microchip, just like five years ago.
While searching for an electronic keyboard, Li Teng enters the theater troupe and amiably answers questions from Nianchu's colleagues. The troupe leader, knowing that Li Teng is acquainted with Li Xiaoyan, asks him to help persuade her to act in their play, to which Li Teng agrees.
Five years ago, when Nianchu was trying to escape, she was blocked by a group of men who intended to assault her. As she struggled, Li Teng appeared and rescued her. While Li Teng was teaching those men a lesson, Nianchu suddenly ran away.
Jiang Hao had someone decrypt the chip that Li Teng brought back, but Li Teng seemed more preoccupied with reminiscing about his previous kiss with Nianchu. Seeing Li Teng in such a state, Jiang Hao asked if Li Teng had mentioned breaking up with Nianchu.
