Spoiler Alert
Welcome back to Such a Good Love, where love is messy, money is tight, and everyone’s dreams are just one heartbreak (or scam) away from collapse. Episode 7 delivers a rollercoaster of emotions, fake weddings, real gallstones, and a financial gut-punch no one saw coming. Let’s dive in.
Wedding Photos, Gossip, and Fake Fans
The episode kicks off with Su Zihao and Tong Leyi’s wedding promotion photos making waves. One of Su’s classmates, clearly loving the drama, warns him about the “dirt” circulating online about Tong Leyi. But the second Leyi shows up? That same classmate flips like a pancake, claiming to be her biggest fan and begging for a selfie. Leyi handles it like a pro—and not-so-subtly declares that Su Zihao is her boyfriend. Message received.
A Misdiagnosis, a Miracle, and a Bold New Plan
Meanwhile, Zhou Shui and Dai Daji finally manage to snag an appointment with a real doctor after being told she might have cancer. The twist? She doesn’t. Turns out it was just gallstones, and the previous hospital? Not even legit. Daji’s overjoyed, practically ready to frame the test results, and decides to stay in Beijing for good. With new hope, she and Zhou Shui set their hearts on entering a screenplay competition. China’s version of “we’re gonna make it!”
24-Hour Boyfriend and Post-Surgery Feels
Tong Leyi ropes Su Zihao into being her “24-Hour Boyfriend” for a vlog called 24-Hour Love Diary. It’s cute, it’s staged, and viewers eat it up. Deep down, Leyi might want something real, but for now, she’s sticking to shipping herself with Su for the likes.
Elsewhere, Dai Daji goes into surgery for her gallstones, and Zhou Shui is left pacing outside with a thousand thoughts. Two years ago, he thought he’d conquer Beijing—now, he’s just hoping to afford rent. As Daji is wheeled out, half-conscious, Zhou Shui cries while holding her hand. It’s raw, it’s real, it hurts.
The A/C of Love, Office Drama, and a Juicy Secret
For her two-year anniversary as a “Beijing drifter,” Daji gets a practical (and poetic) gift: an air conditioner that cools two rooms. Unfortunately, her job still hasn’t made her permanent, and she’s stressed.
To cheer her up, Zhou Shui spills some wedding gossip. Turns out his intern Xiaolong is secretly dating Director Wen. Plot twist! But the realization hits fast: if the director’s boyfriend is also an intern, Daji’s chances of going full-time just plummeted.
Five Grand, a Bad Investment, and a Vanishing Act
Zhou Shui finally repays a loan to Shen Jingshu, only to find out she borrowed that money herself—a financial game of hot potato. Meanwhile, after six months of hustling, Zhou Shui has saved ¥50,000. But instead of investing in his filmmaking dreams, he’s focused on survival: rent, bills, and decent food for Daji.
Then comes the biggest misstep of the episode. Zhou visits his senior, Yiming, who just bought a fancy new place (¥10,000 per square meter!). The visit leaves Zhou feeling like a failure. Enter Hunxiang, who slyly pitches private equity as a way out. Zhou resists—at first—but eventually caves under peer pressure and hands over all his savings.
You already know where this is going.
Hunxiang disappears. Her “office” is stormed by angry people claiming she owes them over ¥3 million. Zhou tracks her down, only to learn the swanky apartment she showed off? Rented.
Trust Issues and Oily Mouth Corners
Zhou Shui is now broke and panicked, unsure how to break the news to Daji. When he goes to pick her up, he sees Yiming—the same guy with the fancy flat—wiping food off Daji’s mouth. Is it innocent? Maybe. Will Zhou read into it? Absolutely.
Meanwhile, Daji’s job situation still hasn’t improved. Yiming offers to help… for a price? We’ll see.
Final Thoughts
Episode 7 hits hard. It’s a sobering reminder that chasing dreams in Beijing comes with heartbreak, hustle, and the occasional scam. Zhou Shui’s desperation is painful to watch, and Dai Daji’s quiet strength holds everything together. With trust unraveling and money gone, we’re left wondering: Can love really survive when reality hits this hard?
Stay tuned—because if this episode taught us anything, it’s that nothing in “Such a Good Love” stays good for long.
