Episode 1 – 2

Only the first two episodes and the dramas and angst are already aplenty.

Chu Ni, Zhi Zhi and Xiao Xiao are best friends.

Xiao Xiao was an architect who just got fired because of a mistake she had nothing to do with.  She submitted her plans for a bid to a new art gallery, but her boss binned it immediately.

The janitor was being paid by an industrial spy, who took all the rubbish from the offices.

Shi Guang worked for an up and coming architecture film which paid the janitor for the rubbish.  He was the one who found the drawings of Xiao Xiao amongst the smelly thrash.

He copied the text by Xiao Xiao almost word for word that went with her drawing. He then improved on her plan and their firm ended up winning the commission.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao’s boss thought that she was secretly collaborating with the other firm because their drawings and summation were almost the same as Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao cannot really give an explanation of how it had happened.

Xiao Xiao was still upset when she went to lunch with Chuni and Zhizhi.

Chuni announced over lunch the Old Qiao was finally making an honest woman of her and not only that she was three months pregnant.  He gave her a diamond ring.

Poor Zhi Zhi was upset but she can’t let her friends know how upset she was.

Zhi Zhi seemed to have a secret life that her friends did not know about.  It looked like Zhi Zhi had a relationship with Old Qiao, she was his mistress, the reason his first wife got so depressed and committed suicide.

She finally gave Old Qiao the heave-ho and told him that Chuni is a good woman and not to let her down. she deserves love.

Old Qiao looked at Zhi Zhi rather regretfully, he said to her that she should have not introduced Chuni to him.

During the lunch, Xiao Xiao felt nauseous and they said she might be pregnant as well.

Xiao Xiao went to get testest for pregnancy.  She was with the baby’s father, Jian Fang.

The doctors asked them if there was a history of epilepsy in their family.

It turned out that Jiang Fang had which had troubled their family for a generation.

Jiang Fang broached the subject of abortion to Xiao Xiao which shocked her to the core.  She was even willing to break up with Jiang Fang and looked after the baby herself. Her mother was also against the idea of raising an epileptic child.

But not as demented as Jiang Fang’s mother and father who came to visit Xiao Xiao and her mother.  Jiang Fang’s mother was hysterical, forcing Xiao Xiao to get an abortion pronto.

Such were their bad behaviour that Xiao Xiao’s mother finally told Xiao Xiao that although she was against the idea, she will support her daughter.

Old Xiao brought Chuni to meet his mother.  She was a little daunted how big Old Xiao mansion was.  Then she met Si Chun, the 15 year old daughter of Old Xiao, who started being nasty to her, which was overheard by his mother, who was against his marriage with a coquette.

Old Xiao told his mother that Xiao Xiao is not a coquette, she is pregnant with his child.

His mother said he was a sinner.

Anyway, Si Chun heard the argument between her father and grandma.

She then told his father that she would like to study high school in America as soon as possible.

At first he would not agree but she made up her mind.

At the airport, his daughter would not even look at him before she checked in.

it was his wedding to Chuni.

Episode 3 – 4

Chuni had married Old Xiao.  After a few months, she had the baby.  She has a very uneasy relationship with her domineering mother-in-law.  She was getting so much grief from her because she kept firing the servants and Chuni ended up doing the chores.  Chuni is missing Tingting, her secret daughter.  Her father would not like her to reveal the existence of Tingting to her husband and his family.

Chuni does not get much support from her husband who was having some work problems and much too busy and too tired to listen to domestic affairs.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao had also married. Despite his parents opposing the union, he went ahead anyway and they also had the baby, but after just a year, their relationship is full of tension, mostly because of money.

Looking after their child not only costs a lot of money but attention as well.

Xiao Xiao tried to find a better paying job than serving in a coffee shop but she was turned down when she said in the interview that she cannot spend days away because she has a child.

As to Zhi Zhi, she was hopeful of a new relationship but found out what he really thought of her behind her back.  She had a friend though who looks after her and care for her and they had the most hilarious relationship.  He is Mao Damao, who was very metrosexual, to the point that he appears rather girly at times.

Episode 5 – 6

Jian Feng and Xiao Xiao always ending up fighting whenever they were together.  So much so that Jian Feng had taken to confiding to Kanglan, sister of Old Qiao who is his student.

Jian Feng’s mother is as annoying as her character in Ever Night 1 & 2 as Aunt Quni

Xiao Xiao has been offered to send her resume to JK.

She was visited by Chunni who was rather upset.  She said that she saw Zhi Zhi and her husband eating lunch.

Xiao Xiao said that it was only natural they were in business together.

Chunni, however, said that it was different, they were eating oysters.

Again Xiao Xiao, said it was normal.

But Chunni cannot be dissuaded. She said that she has a woman’s intuition.

That night, Chunni asked her husband why he married her.

Old Xiao said because she was very suitable wife material.

She then asked if he loves her.

He did not say anything but to turn off his bedside light as a signal to sleep.

Poo Xiao Xiao relationship with her husband is getting worse.

He told her that she was not quite middle age yet and yet she was as sour as a middle age woman.

Kanglan had asked her brother, Old Qiao to give the vacant position in the company for the design manager to JianFeng.

Old Qiao was not very enthusiastic about the idea at first but Kanglan said that if he wanted her to work for his company then he had to give the job to JianFeng.

JianFeng got the job and excitedly went to tell Xiao Xiao about it.

Xiao Xiao said that she was against the idea because his strength is not in design but in research.  It is better for him to stay on in the university and publish a couple more academic books.

Jian Feng started arguing with her and she with him as what had became with them lately.
