Shan Chong overcomes past injuries to win a snowboarding championship, breaking a world record. Later, a botched proposal attempt (thanks to a rival couple’s timing) leads to a romantic do-over on a snowy mountain, where he and Wei Zhi finally get engaged.
Spoiler Alert
The Big Showdown
When Wei Zhi hears her boyfriend Shan Chong is competing in a high-stakes snowboarding championship, she bolts to the venue like a fangirl at a BTS concert. The competition’s stacked with elite athletes, and let’s be real—Shan Chong’s got baggage. Last year, a tiny mistake during a routine left him with a brutal back injury that nearly ended his career. Now, as he gears up, even Wei Zhi’s holding her breath. Coach gives him the classic "you got this" shoulder pat, but Shan Chong’s inner monologue is all about summoning his inner beast mode.
Dude delivers. After watching other competitors choke on key moves, Shan Chong glides onto the slope like he’s part of the mountain itself. His tricks? Butter-smooth transitions, gravity-defying curves, and a finale that smashes the world record. His rival Dai Duo snags silver, and the two share a nod on the podium—because only athletes know the weight of that gold. Meanwhile, Wei Zhi’s parents watch live on TV, finally admitting Shan Chong might just be husband material.
The Proposal That Almost Wasn’t
Post-victory, Shan Chong takes Wei Zhi and the squad (including besties Jiang Nanfeng and Lao Yan) for a cozy group getaway. Over hotpot, Jiang Nanfeng pulls Shan Chong aside: "Bro, propose already. Girls live for that stuff." Turns out, Shan Chong’s way ahead of her—he’s planned a whole rom-com moment with flowers, confetti, and a diamond ring burning a hole in his pocket.
Cue the chaos. Just as Shan Chong’s about to kneel, a neighboring table erupts with screams—another guy’s beaten him to the punch! Our hero freezes, mentally facepalming: "Copycat proposals? Not cool." The moment’s ruined, and Shan Chong’s left clutching the ring like it’s a grenade.
Snowy Redemption
The next day, the crew hikes to a pristine mountaintop. With Lao Yan filming, Shan Chong seizes his do-over. Against a backdrop of endless white, he drops to one knee. Wei Zhi’s face does that whole "I’m crying but also laughing" thing as she says yes. They seal it with a kiss so long, you’ll wonder if they’ve forgotten how oxygen works.
Verdict: Episode 23 serves icy thrills, secondhand embarrassment, and a climax so sweet it’ll rot your teeth. Also, PSA: Always check for rival proposals before whipping out the ring.
