Spoiler Alert
The shoot wraps successfully, and everyone is thrilled with Su Miao's performance. The team congratulates Tang Qi for his persistence in casting her, even after her initial refusal. However, Su Miao, wanting to downplay the male lead's role, reveals that she only agreed to the shoot because of Su Chengcheng's generosity and understanding. Seizing the moment, Su Miao praises herself, subtly reinforcing her assumed identity and securing her position in this new environment. She immediately uses this goodwill to request that Su Chengcheng, the intern, be promoted to a full-time employee.
Tang Qi, however, has a different take on Su Chengcheng. He believes that while pretending to be Su Miao, Chengcheng shirked her responsibilities and left her colleagues to pick up the slack, leading him to think she took time off to rest. To celebrate the successful shoot, QianNiao Ji Company holds a dinner party. Tang Qi invites Su Miao, but she firmly declines. Back at the office, Su Chengcheng, now back in her original identity, also tries to skip the party. Tang Qi makes some sarcastic remarks, while Gu Yu believes that employees should attend company gatherings to foster a sense of community and a harmonious work environment, and he doesn't want Su Chengcheng to take the time off.
At the dinner, Su Chengcheng tries to apologize for her earlier behavior by constantly serving her colleagues meat. However, because of her perceived laziness, they remain cold towards her. Even when Gu Yu offers a toast to Su Chengcheng, no one is willing to clink glasses with her, and they even try to get her drunk under the guise of toasting. After the meal, the group plays Truth or Dare. Gu Yu is chosen and asks who among them has never been in a relationship. It turns out that only Su Chengcheng and Tang Qi are single.
Drunk, Tang Qi calls Lin Yuan to pick him up. Gu Yu, also intoxicated, mistakes Lin Yuan's car for his own. Urged by the security guard, Lin Yuan has to drive away. Gu Yu, still believing it's his car, ends up vomiting inside.
Su Chengcheng has no choice but to head home alone. Just as she's about to leave, her boss asks her to take care of Tang Qi, who is completely drunk. Initially reluctant, Su Chengcheng finally gives in to her boss's repeated requests and carries Tang Qi away. The next morning, Su Chengcheng wakes up to find Tang Qi lying next to her. Shocked, she remembers the previous night: after carrying Tang Qi home, she was so drunk that she collapsed on his bed and fell asleep. She tries to sneak away before Tang Qi wakes up, but he stirs. To cover herself, Su Chengcheng transforms into Su Miao, surprising Tang Qi.
Tang Qi also remembers, vaguely, that someone was lying next to him in bed, and he had his arm around them. He mistakenly believes it was Su Miao. Confused, Tang Qi calls Gu Yu to tell him about sleeping with "Su Miao." During the call, Lin Yuan angrily confronts Gu Yu, which further fuels Tang Qi's misunderstanding. After hanging up, Tang Qi finds Su Chengcheng's bracelet under the pillow.
Tang Qi, believing the bracelet belongs to his goddess, Su Miao, is in high spirits. He's even excited during the company meeting to review the photoshoot posters and sends Su Miao a message to celebrate. Zhou Jinli also takes the opportunity to announce Su Chengcheng's promotion to a full-time position, but none of the other colleagues seem happy about it.
To improve her relationship with her coworkers, Su Chengcheng buys coffee and cake as a celebratory gesture. However, she overhears her colleagues gossiping about her. She vents to her best friend, Lin Yuan, and even admits to resenting her Su Miao persona out of jealousy. During their conversation, Tang Qi calls. Su Chengcheng tells Lin Yuan about the drunken night at Tang Qi's place and vows to never let Tang Qi see "Su Miao" again.
