Spoiler Alert
Let’s just say Dr. Qin Wenbin is dodging drama like he’s auditioning for the Olympics. After ghosting Pan Yue (and skipping yet another awkward family dinner under the classic "hospital emergency" excuse), he’s also giving Liu Ziyi radio silence. But hey, Ziyi’s too busy hyper-focusing on her BFF Gu Shiyi’s worsening health to care. Her ex’s avoidance tactics? A solid meh. Even Wang Gaosheng—the show’s resident truth-teller—is side-eyeing Qin, bluntly stating he’d have dumped the guy ages ago. Savage, but fair.
Over at the hospital, Dean Lv drops a bombshell: He’s retired from surgery. Turns out, he secretly had a brain aneurysm treated a year ago (shoutout to sneaky Director Fan for the assist!). With a risk of post-op seizures, the dean refuses to gamble with patients’ lives—including Gu Shiyi’s. Her tumor’s getting uglier by the minute, but all hope now rests on Director Yin. Cue the collective gulp.
Meanwhile, hustler Wang Wanli’s living his best life, racking up commissions by funneling clients to his funeral-planning biz. He’s splurging on family dinners and niece toys like a proud uncle, preaching his mantra: "Money’s meant to be made." The Wang brothers even FaceTime their mom back home, serving peak #FamilyGoals vibes. But let’s be real—this show loves to yank the rug, so enjoy the wholesome moment while it lasts…
Key Spoiler: Tissues Required
Gu Shiyi’s storyline? A knife twist. During a fun squad trip to the mall for nostalgic photo-booth pics (her childhood dream!), she suddenly coughs up blood. Diagnosis: Her tumor’s invaded a stomach artery. Liu Ziyi—the designated "emergency contact for all things Gu Gu"—is emotionally wrecked, but still scribbles hopeful messages on hospital windows like a guardian angel with a Sharpie.
Then comes the romance bomb: Jiang Yu confesses he’s been crushing on Gu Shiyi for 5-6 years! Flashback to his newbie doctor days—when a patient’s death reduced him to tears, Gu Gu handed him eye drops as a cover. Smooth move, girl. Even his apartment choice? All because she lived nearby. Someone give this man a "World’s Most Patient Simp" trophy.
Back at the Qin household, Mama Qin pulls a sneaky "Pan Yue needs you!" lie to drag her son home. Awkwardness level: 11/10 when Qin blurts out he’s dating Liu Ziyi… post-divorce. Pan Yue’s face? The human embodiment of ????. Let’s just say that family dinner table now needs a flamethrower cleanse.
Next Episode Tease: Will Director Yin save Gu Shiyi? Can Jiang Yu’s decade-long pining pay off? And will Qin Wenbin ever stop being the human equivalent of a "Do Not Disturb" sign? Stay tuned!
