Spoiler Alert
In Episode 6 of "Filter," the drama intensifies both at the office and in Su Chengcheng's increasingly complicated personal life.
Office Politics: Su Chengcheng, unable to attend the crucial company meeting regarding the Paralympics project, sends her proposal to her colleague, Xu Yue, hoping Xu Yue will present it on her behalf. However, Xu Yue seizes the opportunity for herself. She presents Chengcheng's work as her own, earning praise from everyone. The only one suspicious is Tang Qi. He recognizes some of the data in the proposal as information he personally provided to Chengcheng. Xu Yue, quick on her feet, covers her tracks by claiming she and Chengcheng worked as a team, with Chengcheng only responsible for gathering data while she (Xu Yue) crafted the actual proposal. This allows her to take full credit for Chengcheng's hard work.
Hospital Hijinks and a Bracelet Upgrade: Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, upset over negative feedback on her new book, crosses paths with Gu Yu at a cafe. Because Chengcheng has called in sick, Gu Yu visits Chengcheng's sister, Su Qingli, with some get-well gifts for Chengcheng. Back at the hospital, Chengcheng is frustrated by the slow update progress of her magical bracelet. Anxious about the proposal, she tries to contact Xu Yue, but gets no response. Suddenly, the bracelet's update speeds up, alarming Chengcheng, who fears her secret identity will be exposed. She tries to leave the hospital room, but her injured leg causes her to stumble. Tang Qi, who is there to check on Su Miao (one of Chengcheng's alternate identities), catches her.
The Identity Crisis Deepens: Su Qingli, having figured out something is amiss between Chengcheng and Yu Hao, brings Lin Yuan to the hospital. Su Miao makes up a story to get rid of Tang Qi for a bit, then wraps her head, planning to sneak out. Unluckily, she bumps into Tang Qi in the hallway, and he recognizes the bracelet on her wrist. Tang Qi pulls off the head covering, revealing Su Chengcheng's face. Just then, Lin Yuan and Su Qingli arrive. Chengcheng uses the opportunity to have her sister check her out of the hospital, trying to escape Tang Qi's scrutiny. However, Tang Qi's questions trigger Su Qingli's suspicions, particularly about Su Miao's identity. Tang Qi returns to the hospital room to find Su Miao gone, and the nurse hands him Su Miao's computer – which, shockingly, is company property issued to Su Chengcheng.
Truth and Transformations: Back at Lin Yuan's place, Chengcheng finally confesses the truth about the bracelet to a stunned Su Qingli. To prove her unbelievable story, Chengcheng demonstrates the bracelet's power, leaving her sister speechless. Tang Qi then arrives at Lin Yuan's, looking for Chengcheng. In a panic, Chengcheng transforms into a bronze acupuncture statue. Lin Yuan, to give Chengcheng time to change back, distracts Tang Qi with a tour of her house. Chengcheng manages to run upstairs, and after a few close calls and more transformations, she finally reverts to her original form. She apologizes to Tang Qi and retrieves her computer, and he leaves. Lin Yuan is puzzled by the variety of Chengcheng's transformations. It turns out the upgraded bracelet can now transform her into not just people, but also objects and even animals.
Confrontation and Revenge: After a discussion with her sister and Lin Yuan, Chengcheng decides to make "Su Miao" disappear from Tang Qi's life. She, as Su Miao, arranges a meeting with him. When Chengcheng returns to work, she discovers Xu Yue's blatant theft of her proposal. Xu Yue is arrogant, even taunting Chengcheng. Using the bracelet's powers, Chengcheng transforms into the Monkey King (Sun Wukong) to scare Xu Yue, leaving her terrified.
