Episode 1

Su Xing is a popular actor who was being courted by a reality tv to make ‘a reveal all’  about himself.  When he agreed to do it, the producer of the reality tv was flabbergasted because it was so easy to convince Su Xing who had a reputation of being a diva.

Sun Xiaoai works in a very popular restaurant with her fiance, Fang Peng.

Xiaoai first encountered Su Xing during her city location prenup photos.  He was running away from his hoard of fans when he bumped into her.  As compensation, he gave her his grilled squid as he continued running.

Xiaoai’s cousin Julie is also an artist at Su Xing management.

She asked Xiaoai to allow Su Xung to film his reality show at her restaurant.

Xiaoai declined at first but Fang Peng was all for it.

Episode 2

Su Xing was now on location for his reality tv.

It was Xiaoai’s restaurant which is providing Su Xing’s food.  But when Xiaoai arrived with Su Xing food, all she got was abuse because she put Chinese coriander to his food which he could not abide.

Later on, Su Xing looking incognito went to find a restaurant.  He then saw a queue of people in front of a restaurant.  He joined the queue.  He then asked a man in front of him why there was a queue.

He was told that the chef cooks the most divine rice noodles. The man then warned him that he was too late.  He was number 101.  Only 100 people are going to be served.

Su Xing just laughed it off and then when it was his turn, Xiaoia came out and told him that there were no more rice noodles.

These are really not getting along well.

Xiaoai’s boyfriend was not the good sort.  He was her childhood sweetheart but does not stop him from cheating on her with their waitress, Yuting.  Added to that, he was also addicted to getting rich quickly and had been investing using borrowed money.

Now Fang Peng is tempted to sell the restaurant from under Xiaoai, who owns it.

Then he overheard the producer of the reality tv that they wanted to hire Xiaoai as a partner for S Xing.  He approached them and managed to get a deal that he will get all the fees for her.

Episode 3

I am loving this drama.  Nailiang and Ivy Chen had loads of chemistry. They are so likable.

Su Xing had forced Xiaoai to let him stay in her house after their first filming day.

Meanwhile, the cheating Fang Peng found out that the person who was handling his investment of every cent of his money and more had absconded abroad.

His own creditors are asking for him to pay up.

Now, he was looking for the deeds of the restaurant which he remembered Xiaoai telling him that she would hide it under their soon-to-be marital bed.

He immediately rushed to their new marital house but what he did not know was that Su Xing was hiding in the closet after Xiaoai shoved him in there.

Episode 4

From the closet, Su Xing saw Fang Peng rummaging through the bedside tables, under the mattress but he did not find what he was looking for.  He then noticed the slats a la Venetian blinds of the closet door moving.

He was just about to open the door but Xiaoai came back.

When Xiaoai was gone, Su Xing told her what he saw but she ignored him.

She shouldn’t have because when she went to the shop to try her wedding gown, she saw that Yuting was wearing it.

Yuting said that she could not resist.

Xiaoai then found the ultrasound image of Yuting’s baby.

She went downstairs and congratulated Yuting for her baby and proceeded to ask her who the father was.

Fang Peng could not take the guilt anymore and admitted to the shocked Xiaoai that he was the father and that he had been shagging Yuting behind her back.

Xiaoai run away followed by Fang Peng who was useless because he did not find after running after her immediately.

Finally Xiaoai went home to a raucous house because without permission Su Xing used her house to throw a party.

Xiaoai did not care, she grabbed a glass of wine and drank it followed by a bottle of win.  She went to her balcony and hallucinated that she was talking to Fang Peng and castigated him for not loving her and dumping her.

She almost fell on the balcony but Su Xing caught her and they fell together, videoed and photographed at every second.

Episode 5

Fang Peng blamed Xiaoai for what happened.  He said that she was controlling.

She believed him and offered to pay off all his debts with the restaurant and remortgaging her house. She gave away all her money.
