Spoiler Alert

Hold onto your snowboards, folks—Episode 19 is a wild ride of vindication, corporate drama, and a workplace reunion that’ll make you go, "Wait, did she really delete his WeChat twice?" Let’s dive in.

Wei Zhi’s Crisis & Zhang Yu’s Redemption Arc

Our girl Wei Zhi’s manga career is hanging by a thread after another wave of online hate (thanks to lingering rumors about that messy AI plagiarism scandal). Just as her team panics about potential censorship, her former mentor Zhang Yu drops a truth bomb online. In a very public post, he admits he’s the one who messed up years ago by using AI for a rushed project—not Wei Zhi. To save the company back then, she took the blame and quit. But wait, there’s more! Teacher Zhang also exposes their ex-boss, Mr. Wang, for copyright theft, labor violations, and general sketchiness. Mic drop.

The result? Wei Zhi’s manga wins first prize in the competition (yasss!), while Zhang Yu gets fired by a seething Mr. Wang. Cue the waterworks as the entire creative team—who clearly adored their kind, talented mentor—sends him off with gifts. But here’s the kicker: Mr. Wang’s toxic "don’t sympathize with him or quit!" ultimatum backfires hard. Half the staff rage-quit on the spot, leaving the company in shambles. Good luck replacing that talent, Wang.

Shan Chong’s Silent Support & Family Feels

While brooding hottie Shan Chong hasn’t directly reached out to Wei Zhi during this chaos, he’s been lowkey stalking… er, closely following her career drama. After breathing a sigh of relief over her win, he vows to "train harder" to stand by her side. (Cue collective awww.) Meanwhile, his sister Shan Shan joins Wei Zhi’s team onstage at the awards ceremony, and their parents tear up watching both their kids thrive—especially as Shan Shan prepares for her prosthetic leg fitting.

The Office Rom-Com Subplot We Didn’t See Coming

Ex-ski bum Li Keyan (aka Lao Yan) has accepted his lack of shredding talent and… gasp… joined the corporate world! After applying to random jobs, he lands an interview at a company run by none other than Jiang Nanfeng—his childhood crush. Turns out, these two attended the same elementary school, and Jiang vaguely recalls a "chubby-cheeked kid" who once confessed his feelings… only for her to delete him on WeChat. Keyan casually mentions her pineapple allergy (a detail only someone who’d pay attention would know), and Jiang has an "Oh. My. God. It’s you?!" moment over dinner. The kicker? She’s deleted him twice. Savage.

Spoiler Snacks:

  • Mr. Wang’s downfall isn’t over. That copyright lawsuit’s gonna bite.
  • Shan Chong’s "training" mission? Bet it involves swoon-worthy snowboarding stunts.
  • Jiang Nanfeng’s HR team better brace for awkward tension if Keyan gets hired.

Final Thoughts:

Justice for Wei Zhi! Corporate villains crumbling! A second-chance romance brewing! This episode’s got it all—plus the chaotic energy of a boss who thinks threatening his employees is a great retention strategy. Can’t wait to see who quits next.
