Episode Summary
Pan Yue’s marathon surgery ends successfully, while Liu Ziyi and Jiang Yu scramble to save Gu Shiyi. Jiang Yu confesses his feelings during a late-night hospital vigil, and shady hustler Wan Li gets caught peddling funeral services. Meanwhile, Liu Ziyi and Jiang Yu ambush Dean Lv at the airport, and Pan Yue moves into Qin Wenbin’s home – reigniting Sister Liu’s matchmaking schemes.
Spoiler Alert
1. The Never-Ending Surgery Saga
Sister Liu’s patience evaporated faster than hand sanitizer in an OR. After just 90 minutes of Pan Yue’s surgery, she was pacing like a caffeinated hamster. Qin Wenbin tried calming her with "Don’t worry, some surgeries take eight hours!" (Translation: "This might take longer than binge-watching a whole season of 'Grey’s Anatomy’.") Meanwhile, Jiang Yu sent Dean Lv a War and Peace-length text begging him to operate on Gu Shiyi. Dean Lv? He shut off his phone mid-meeting like a boss avoiding Group Chat Hell™.
Back in the OR, Liu Ziyi and Director Yin played a Where’s Waldo? game with Pan Yue’s facial nerves. Eight hours later (!!), the surgery wrapped successfully. Qin Wenbin nearly gave Liu Ziyi a teary-eyed TED Talk about her skills… until he remembered Pan Yue’s parents were there. Awkwardness: avoided.
2. Love, Chemo, and Brutal Truth Bombs
Post-surgery, Gu Shiyi dropped truth nuggets sharper than surgical scalpels during a late-night bathroom chat: "You’re a rockstar surgeon, Liu Ziyi… but your taste in men? Yikes." Cue Gu Shiyi’s heartbreaking chemo hair loss and Liu Ziyi’s "I’m not crying, you’re crying" face.
Gao Chen, Gu’s MIA sorta-boyfriend, ghosted harder than a Snapchat filter. Liu Ziyi hunted him down, demanding he "fake it till you make it" with emotional support. Meanwhile, Jiang Yu became the MVP of Crushing Hard, bringing Gu Shiyi four types of congee (because why choose one flavor when you’re simping this hard?).
3. Shenanigans in the Hospital Underworld
Wan Li, the hospital’s resident hustler, tried peddling funeral services to grieving families like a morbid Uber Eats driver. When angry relatives shoved him, rookie security guard Xiao Hu swooped in to apologize. Wan Li? He threatened Xiao Hu to keep quiet about his sketchy side gig. (Pro tip: Never take life advice from a guy who hawks coffins between cafeteria breaks.)
4. Confessions & Airport Ambushes
At a group dinner, Jiang Yu’s face turned Hulk green hearing about Gao Chen’s ghosting. Later, he pulled a rom-com move: camping at Gu Shiyi’s bedside for a full confession! Next day, he lied to his boss about "family illness" to get leave. (Jiang Yu’s resume now reads: Professional Simp & Master of White Lies.)
Meanwhile, Liu Ziyi and Jiang Yu stalked… er, respectfully awaited Dean Lv at the airport to beg for Gu’s surgery. (Spoiler: They looked less like doctors and more like Taylor Swift fans waiting for merch drops.)
5. Awkward Ex Reunions & Mama Liu’s Masterplan
Pan Yue moved into Qin Wenbin’s house post-discharge, finding their old couple photos still up. Cue "aww" moment… until Qin tried to bolt. Sister Liu, however, was ready to play matchmaker again. (Plot twist: Moms in Chinese dramas have Godfather-level scheming skills.)
