Spoiler Alert
An ambitious sister, a rebellious one, and a corporate showdown in Shenzhen.
The premiere episode of With Love with You kicks off by introducing us to two sisters from Leshan with lives that couldn’t be more different.
Meet the Sisters: Wang Yan & Wang Lingjun
Wang Yan is the definition of a high achiever. She’s smart, polished, and a total boss lady. After graduating from a top university, she moved to Shenzhen and quickly climbed the ranks to become a senior executive at one of the city’s most well-known advertising firms. Think power suits, high heels, and a schedule packed with client meetings and crisis management.
Her younger sister, Wang Lingjun, is... well, let’s just say she’s not exactly following the same path. Lazy, headstrong, and full of attitude, Lingjun hides behind the excuse of studying for her pharmacist license while actually spending most of her time napping in her sister’s room. Her real plan? Ditch their hometown and move to Shenzhen — even if it means working odd jobs to support herself. But she’s too scared to tell their parents, so instead, she keeps blowing up Wang Yan’s phone.
Wang Yan, ever the pragmatist, sets one condition: Pass your pharmacist exam, and then do whatever you want. But for Lingjun, this isn’t just about freedom. She’s tired of living in her sister’s shadow and wants to reclaim something — anything — that feels like hers.
Back in Shenzhen: Corporate Drama Unfolds
It’s 9 a.m., and Wang Yan is already juggling crises. She gets a call from her assistant, Zhou Mengmeng, who brings bad news: their company just lost the Lingyue pitch to rival agency Zhiyi. Worse, their competitor snagged the coveted Shenzhen Bay venue and is holding a press conference tonight. Wang Yan knows this is more than just a lost deal — this is a power play.
As if that’s not enough, corporate sends a bombshell email: after the resignation of GM Li Weixin, everyone assumed her boss Gao Qian would take over. Instead, the company parachutes in an outsider — a man named Fang Li — to take the lead. Wang Yan is fuming. She calls Gao Qian immediately and jumps into action, working from the backseat of a car while her driver navigates traffic.
Fang Li wastes no time. His first day on the job? He’s already holding meetings and asking pointed questions about the Lingyue fiasco. Wang Yan, meanwhile, is racing against the clock to salvage the deal. She records a pitch showcasing premium ad space at Huamao (a top-tier media location) and negotiates for a prime advertising slot on the 27th of next month. Her secret weapon? A potential collaboration with internet heartthrob Yi Zhe — the kind of crossover that could steal all the buzz.
Lingjun's Delusional Escape Plan
Back in Leshan, Wang Lingjun is still dreaming of Shenzhen. She gets a call from Liao Fanmu, a mutual family friend, who gently defends Wang Yan’s strictness — saying she just wants Lingjun to be able to stand on her own. Of course, Lingjun cherry-picks what she wants to hear and convinces herself that Fanmu is actually supporting her move. She immediately starts planning: buys a suitcase, picks up her favorite snack (sweet-skinned duck), and hides her luggage outside the house.
She casually brings up her Shenzhen dreams at dinner, but her parents shut it down hard. No support. No sympathy.
Meanwhile, The Clock Ticks in Shenzhen
Wang Yan pulls every string she can. She tracks down Zhao, the Lingyue exec, at the Shenzhen Bay beach venue and pitches her bold counter-offer — not just a venue swap, but a strategic partnership with Yi Zhe’s agency, Jixing Entertainment. Zhao is intrigued. She knows the Shenzhen Bay venue isn't ideal, and Huamao’s screen time, paired with a hot celeb, could be a game-changer. He tells his assistant to hold off on signing with Zhiyi — Wang Yan has until the fireworks show at 8 p.m. to deliver.
At 3 p.m., she meets with Tang, the head of Jixing, and pitches Yi Zhe as Lingyue’s new face. Her confidence is unwavering: You handle the fans, I’ll lock down the client. It’s a risky move, but it might just work.
Fireworks & Final Moves
At 8 p.m., the fireworks light up the sky. Wang Yan delivers. Zhao agrees to give her another shot — one more round of pitching. It’s not a win yet, but it’s not a loss either. In the ruthless world of advertising, sometimes all you need is a second chance.
Final Thoughts
Episode 1 of With Love with You sets the stage for a compelling sibling rivalry and a high-stakes corporate drama. Wang Yan is a warrior in heels, balancing family pressure and professional sabotage. Wang Lingjun is chaotic, immature, but secretly desperate to prove herself. With Shenzhen as the backdrop, this story promises ambition, backroom deals, and emotional baggage — all under one glossy skyline.
