Shuyu, I need to talk to you

I'm going in to see Great-aunt. Talk to you later

Wait up

Great-aunt

I missed you so much -I missed you too

Let's sit

Great-aunt, our parents aren't around?

Your mum took your dad to the doctor's. They'll be back soon

Mum said you had something important to tell me. What is it?

Great-aunt, you must be thirsty

Shuyu, get her a drink of water

Don't bother. I have tea

You're behaving oddly. What's wrong?

Nothing

Shuyu, it's been tough on you

I'm all right

I've found the jinxed guy

I even helped him find a match

I no longer have to sacrifice my own happiness

What jinxed guy?

Didn't you say...

so long as I found a match for the jinxed guy,

I'd be able to break the curse of my growing old alone?

I don't know what you're talking about

Besides, it's your destiny to grow old alone. It cannot be altered

Yan Shuze

Where are you going?

What's going on?

Your lie only gave Shuyu false hope

Did it occur to you how upset your sister would be...

once your lie was exposed?

Moreover, we'd be worried too

How could you make up a story about the jinxed guy to dupe your sister...

in your great-aunt's name?

I only wanted Shuyu to pick herself up

She went into hiding after finding out she'd grow old alone

So I approached Kent

He was the one who came up with the idea

Kent?

He knew my destiny all along?

Shuyu

I understand how you feel

Don't dwell on the fact that you'll grow old alone

Your life as a matchmaker can be fulfilling

How do you expect Shuyu not to dwell on it?

She thought the jinxed guy could help her break the curse

That's why she got together with Kent

I'm sorry, Shuyu

What do you plan to do?

I'll talk to Kent

Hi

You OK?

Why did you change our meeting time out of the blue?

I'm sorry, Kent

Let's end things now

What happened?

Is there a misunderstanding between us?

No

I know the jinxed guy isn't real

You got my brother to make up a story

Oh, it's about that

Shuyu, hear me out

I didn't mean any harm when I suggested that to your brother, it's just...

I get it

But since the jinxed guy doesn't exist,

it means my destiny of growing old alone cannot be altered

Don't waste any more time on me

Listen

You mean a lot to me

Shuyu

Don't believe him

Dingyi?

What are you doing here?

He's a two-faced liar

He's been making use of you

Don't be ridiculous. I'm serious about Shuyu

You and Violet colluded with each other

You got her to put the ring in Zhen Qing's locker to frame her

When the matter was brought to light,

you got Kang to be the fall guy

Violet?

You and Violet...

Shuyu, don't believe what he said

Dingyi, I know you've got a thing for Shuyu

But please keep your emotions in check

Don't make untruthful allegations. Shuyu will get the wrong idea about me

Kent, drop the act

Yang Dingyi, what's wrong with you?

I've been good to you. Why are you maligning me?

Everything I said is true

That's enough

Sorry, Kent

It's over between us. Don't waste your time on me

Shuyu

Why drink so much?

That darned Yang Dingyi...

I put so much effort into making up a story and planning a ruse

In the end, he still managed to ruin my plan

Stop drinking

Leave me be

Violet, how was work today?

If you're free, let's have a meal together. I'll go pick you up

Look, Shuyu is starting to suspect our relationship

We've to keep our distance from each other

Are you listening to me?

The priority now is to win Shuyu back

For some women, once they've given up on a man,

they won't go back to him no matter what he does

I can't let Shuyu leave me

Whatever it is, we've to stop her from suspecting our relationship

Too late

Nothing you do will work

I don't believe that

I'm sure I can handle her

From now on,

you're in charge of tarnishing Yang Dingyi's reputation...

whereas I'll convince Shuyu

Great-aunt

Great-aunt

Remember me?

Little Mimi?

It's been a long time! You're all grown up now

I remember you loved...

the tau sar piah I brought back from Malaysia

I bought a lot this time

Remember to take some home

I knew Great-aunt is the best

Dinner is starting soon

I'll help you

She's changed a lot

That's right

Great-aunt, you like veg. Have more

You have more too -OK

Mimi, this is your favourite

Why are all of you staring at me?

You two are an item?

Why didn't you tell me?

No way. They are just like siblings

You're wrong

Great-aunt, you can still see the red thread binding them?

I can feel it

There's a red thread binding them?

I'm done eating. Bye

You only had a few mouthfuls. I'm sure you're still hungry

Nobody's throwing you out. Why the hurry to leave?

I'm on a diet

Shujing, what were you thinking?

Mimi is five years your senior. She's like your elder sister

How could you have fallen for her?

Beats me

Unlike playing games, your feelings can't be controlled

He's spent too much time gaming

Mum

Didn't you use to worry...

when Shujing was cooped up in his room all day?

You were worried he wouldn't be able to get a girlfriend

Now that he's seeing someone, you disapprove of it

Why?

I'm not against his being in a relationship

But why Mimi?

They grew up together

Their feelings for each other developed over time

I watched Mimi grow up. I see her as our daughter

I know all her strengths and flaws

How do you expect me to accept her as my daughter-in-law?

You're prejudiced against Mimi

Forgive me for being blunt,

but your eccentric son doesn't have communication skills

Finally there's someone who fancies him

Yet you think she's not good enough for him

He's your son too, you know

No father says that of his own son

OK... I was wrong

Our son is our precious

But Mimi is also the apple of her parents' eye

It's just that she's a "big apple"

It's not that Mimi isn't good enough. I just think Shujing and she are incompatible

She's five years older than our son

Yet she's like a kid with no clear goals in life,

and she job-hops

She can't take care of herself, much less build a family

Our children have their own lives

So long as Shujing and Mimi truly love each other,

let them decide what they want

We shouldn't interfere in their affairs

Great-aunt, try the fruit I cut

Thanks

Not bad. He's becoming Mr Nice Guy

Mr Nice Guy? What do you mean?

It's a guy who's sweet and caring

Oh? I didn't realize I was becoming like that

Just a little bit

But your communication skills leave much to be desired

Don't make Mimi feel awkward

I've always been candid. Can't I do that?

Sure, you may

If you truly love a girl,

you'll put yourself in her shoes

We can't control who we fall for,

but we can choose how to love someone

I don't get it

In love, we can't control "who"...

but we can choose "how"

What do I have to do?

Go online to look for ideas

So long as you're serious about what you do, you'll succeed

It's the 15th day of the lunar month again

I remember my 30th lunar birthday fell on the 15th too

I could see the red thread after that day

I could see the red thread after my 26th lunar birthday

Why are we destined to be matchmakers?

My great-aunt said...

the women in our family were chosen by Yue Lao to be matchmakers

We're equipped with a special ability...

to bring couples together

It was supposed to be a blessing,

but the matchmaker from a particular generation...

did something against her conscience for the sake of money

She told a lie and broke up a couple who was meant to be

So Yue Lao got angry and decided to punish the future matchmakers?

All of them shall grow old alone?

I'm a living example

But why me of all people?

That's because you have what it takes to be a matchmaker -

a heart of gold

Congrats, Zhiming and Xiumin! Our mission today is a success

See you next week

Cut. Good take

It's a wrap

Congrats -Thank you

Am I destined to only bring couples together...

but not find my own happiness?

You will find your happiness

I'll make you happy

What are you talking about?

I told you, we cannot be together. I'll bring harm to you

Shuyu, stop running away

I know you have feelings for me

Watch out!

Dingyi!

Dingyi...

Dingyi

Wake up, Dingyi!

Dingyi

Wake up, Dingyi

No...

No

No... Dingyi

Dingyi

No, Dingyi... No

Shuyu -Don't go

Had a nightmare?

Great-aunt

You said the man you loved got stabbed when he tried to save you,

and died in your arms

I had a similar dream

Don't be afraid. You only had that dream because you listened to my story

If I get together with him,

will my dream become a reality?

Thank goodness it was only a dream

He'll be fine if I stay away from him, right?

Great-aunt, Dad, Sis, good morning

Morning

Shuze called. He won't be coming back for dinner

Morning, Mum -Morning

How are things between him and Zhirong?

Didn't we ask him to give it his all and not to give up?

Another break-up for Bro?

It's already "season four". Why doesn't he change the plot?

Don't be absurd

Bro lacks self-confidence and resolve

He's the cause of the knot in their red thread

Some people need others to help them...

find their resolve

How do we do that?

We give him a push

Bro, come to the pastry shop, quick

The police are arresting Zhirong for operating an illegal gambling den

Don't arrest Zhirong. I'm the mastermind

I stole the keys to the shop and gave them to Xiangting's dad

That's how he could operate an illegal gambling den here

Arrest me instead

Put me behind bars

Please go back first. I'll call you, thanks

Why did you utter nonsense?

Aren't they police officers?

The matter has been resolved

The police say I can continue to operate my business

Those two were here on behalf of the landlord...

to discuss the rent with me

Hurry up! My brother is going to be here any minute

Hurry...

Xiao-mi?

Xiao-mi was filming

What a small world

Have some tea

Zhirong, we wanted to put on a show

We didn't expect Bro to get here so soon

As a result, Xiao-mi lost the chance to perform

I spent so much time memorizing my lines

I even prepared props so I could showcase my talent for acting

But that's OK. Things worked out in the end

Zhirong got to see my brother's resolve

Nonsense. Why did you lie to me?

If they hadn't lied to you, you wouldn't have come?

Go after her, quick

Fight for your own happiness

Zhirong

Give me another chance

I'm no longer weak. Believe me

I won't believe you again

Every time you encounter a problem, all you do is run away

I've given you so many chances

But you always let me down

I don't wish to delude myself anymore

You'll never change

Zhirong

Can I borrow your mic?

Play the guitar for me later, OK?

Jiang Zhirong, I really, really love you

I won't run away again

I once said...

I'd sing and propose to you in public

But that never happened

I'm going to fulfil my promise right now

The sky is shrouded in darkness

It swallows my thoughts

I can't see, I can't wake up

I need you in my life

My tears speak of my longing for you

It's silent and simple

My yearning for you

Is boundless and endless

I know it now

Your tenderness

When you left me without a word

I know it now

The tenderness you gave me

Will fill my every thought

Like how you steadfastly

Loved me

Zhirong

My feelings for you have never changed

I know you still love me

This is how I show my resolve

Ever since the reminder from Dad,

I've been wearing our rings on a chain around my neck

I don't want to lose you again

Zhirong

Will you marry me?

Will you be solemnizing your marriage?

Yes

I've decided to give up my place and move back to Zhirong's

What about the pastry shop?

The landlord has decided to take the shop back

But as I'm innocent, he'll compensate me accordingly

What are your plans now that you don't have a shop?

Why don't you come back to Li Hongniang to help me?

I've discussed this with Shuze

I'd like to launch my own wedding cakes at the wedding shop

I wonder if Lunar would be willing to endorse them?

Sure, only if you pay me

No problem

I'm glad the problem between you two has been resolved

I wish you conjugal bliss

Thank you, Great-aunt

Of course you should thank her. She deserves all the credit

You're a master indeed

Of course

Mum, your green bean soup is delicious

Have another bowl of it, then

Mum, Zhirong and I will do the dishes. Go out and rest

That's right

OK, I'll leave you to it

Zhirong, how has Xiangting been?

Is she working on new cake creations with you?

She didn't tell you she'd left?

Where did she go?

She was feeling down after breaking up with Dingyi

So she decided to go overseas to pursue her dream

Do you see her?

She's enjoying the air con inside

How do you use this app?

Hello

I can help you

Let me demonstrate

This app allows you to turn the air con on and off

You can also adjust the temperature...

or preset the temperature

Isn't it convenient?

Thank you -You're welcome

I'll crush her later

Are we really doing this? I feel really bad

No... There's no right or wrong in love

You either fight for your love or give it up

We're not harming anyone

We're just doing our best for love

No pain, no gain

You've got a point there. Are you sure your idea will work?

You see this all the time in period dramas set in the palace

When the emperor sees his consort hooking up with another man,

that man is dead meat

Then the consort will be banished to the cold palace

That means you'll be dead meat?

So long as it makes Master happy, I'm willing to sacrifice

You're my good disciple indeed

Mimi, what a small world! Going home?

I was shopping and felt hungry. I'm going to grab a bite

You're hungry? Poor thing

There's a cafe nearby that sells fantastic buffalo wings

Want to go together?

No, thanks. I'm craving the Hokkien mee at my block

I should go queue up before it sells out. Bye

Hold on

Cockroach!

Cockroach!

Over here

Where is it? -Over there

Over there

The cockroach's gone

Sorry, I haven't been on a diet lately. You OK?

I'm OK

Go get your Hokkien mee. We'll meet next time

OK

Bye

Should I send him the photo or not?

Bro

You've been making good progress

You go on dates with Xiangting till late every day

Xiangting and I have broken up

That's so sudden. What happened?

Is it your...

It's not that problem

She's left

Did you ask Lunar for help?

It's pointless

Besides, Shuyu has a more pressing matter to settle

What is it?

The man she fell for is a two-sided liar

He resorted to devious means to get close to her...

and make her fall for him

Truth is, he's been two-timing her

If Lunar finds out, she'll be sad

He pretends to be a good guy to get what he wants

But he gets up to no good behind her back

I've to make him show his true colours, or Shuyu will be hurt

I don't want to be a bad person

What happened between you and Xiangting?

Put this on

Why?

You'll find out in a minute

Have you settled everything?

I don't want to help you deal with Yang Dingyi anymore

You'd better quit

What's that supposed to mean?

Didn't we agree to tarnish Yang Dingyi's reputation?

Only then will Shuyu believe me

Violet

My plan is only one step away from success. You can't give up now

I don't want to frame anyone again

It eats at my conscience

I promise you this is the last time, OK?

Haven't I done enough for you?

To help you oust Yang Dingyi,

I purposely made Lunar's mask drop so her identity would be revealed

I also spiked her drink to knock her out

She almost couldn't appear on the show

I did all that for our future

I don't exist in your future

Why are you jealous?

I've told you umpteen times Yan Shuyu is just a pawn of mine

A pawn?

You think I can't tell how much you care for Shuyu?

To get her to pull herself together,

you made up a story about the jinxed guy

I only did that so she'd continue to appear on our show

What about the ruse?

You staged an accident and almost got run over by a car

If she were just a pawn, would you have risked your life for her?

Where are they?

Over there

I'm sorry

Don't be spiteful anymore

I know I'm to blame for neglecting you

I promise you once I've taken Shuyu to China and made big bucks,

I'll come back to be with you

Shuyu?

Why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

Anything you don't want me to hear?

Of course not

Violet, explain things to Shuyu

What's there to explain?

You're ganging up on me?

I learnt it from you

Shuyu, don't believe them

Violet wants to be with me, but I've always rejected her

That's why she colluded with Yang Dingyi to set me up

It's not that I'm too naive

You're simply too scheming

That slap was for wasting five years of my youth

Violet did so much for you

Yet you didn't treasure her

It's your own fault you lost her

I was wrong. Shuyu, I've realized my mistake

Sorry

I took the wrong step

I admit all my mistakes

I admit I was in a clandestine relationship with Violet

But after I met you, our relationship began to have problems

Shuyu

I'm serious about you

Drop the act

I've recorded what happened just now

We won't ever believe you again

I saw your red thread with Violet break

If you continue to be so selfish...

and put yourself first,

and be blinded by greed,

you'll lose everything eventually

Shuyu

Don't be upset over that kind of man. It's not worth it

I'm not upset

I just didn't expect him to be so crafty

I wasn't aware of it at all

I want to be alone

My love sits at the bow of the boat

I tread along the bank

The rope lightly sways and love is in the air

You wanted to be with Kent

So I told Xiangting I had feelings for her

I wanted to help you break the curse of your growing old alone

Turns out Kent is a rat

Xiangting decided to leave when she found out the truth

She encouraged me to be brave and pursue my happiness

I don't know when it started,

but I've fallen for you

Will you...

give me a chance...

to be with you...

and protect you?

Dingyi!

Dingyi...

Dingyi

Wake up, Dingyi!

No

I've always seen you as my brother

I want to find you a suitable match

Since things with Xiangting didn't work out, I'll help you find another one

Kent

I know what you did

Apologize to everyone

What did I do?

Yang Dingyi, what did you do behind my back again?

Still denying it?

Kang, tell us why you left the company

Kent told me if we couldn't find the mole who helped Carol steal the ring,

Bro Yi would be forced to resign

I took the rap to protect him

Kang, I've always treated you well

Yet you're helping Yang Dingyi malign me

I'm telling the truth -Are you sure...

Drop your pretence

Violet has come clean with us

Your relationship with her...

has been proven in this video

Kent

I don't want things to turn ugly

Tender your resignation

Don't disappoint me further

Fine

I'm not playing this game anymore

Brother, listen,

although Shuyu won't be working with us,

I have many other splendid ideas

Take a look

Here

Your ideas?

Who cares for them?

If Yan Shuyu isn't working with us, don't waste my time any further

Brother, give me a chance

I'll produce a show that's good enough to break into the international market

I'm ready. This...

Who do you think you are?

Without Yan Shuyu,

you're useless

There are many other producers in China who are better than you

I'm made of money. I can easily find another producer

Get lost

I've gone through many case studies recently

Although there isn't one that is exactly like yours,

I suspect in your case, it has to do with pheromones

Pheromones?

It's the natural body scent you secrete when you meet someone of the opposite sex

The smell usually isn't obvious

Perhaps you have an endocrine disorder

So when you see the girl you fancy,

the pheromones you produce emit a strong odour

Not anyone can accept this odour

Is it curable?

I'm not sure, as there isn't any precedent case

Never mind. I'll try anything as long as there's a glimmer of hope

I suggest you have your hormone levels checked

If the levels are abnormal, you can tune your endocrine system with medication

Then you can undergo surgical removal of your sweat glands to reduce the odour

Thank you, Zihao

I'll heed your advice

Thanks

I've been wanting to ask you if your clinic is moving

No. I'm closing down my clinic and going to the US to teach

You're my last patient

I see

All the best

I wish you and Shuyu happiness too

I doubt that would happen

She only sees me as a friend

You and Shuyu are a perfect match indeed

You're in love with each other, yet you have no idea

Shuyu is in love with me?

Shuyu is smart and has character

She's always been decisive in love,

and she wears her heart on her sleeve

I don't know why she's so wishy-washy this time round

I know why

Thanks for telling me! You're my saviour

I'm off

Come in

Shuyu

Who let you in?

Your brother says you have a cold

It's nothing serious. I'm fine

I have something important to...

Sorry... Stay away from me, or I'll infect you

I'm not afraid

Even so, you've got to keep your distance. Surely you don't want to fall ill?

I mean, I don't fear your destiny of growing old alone

I don't know what you're talking about

You do have feelings for me, don't you?

You're imagining things again

You deny having feelings for me...

because the jinxed guy doesn't exist

You're afraid your destiny of growing old alone will bring harm to me

Am I right?

No. Stop deluding yourself

Whatever it is,

I won't let you go this time

We can't be together, or you'll get hurt

Shuyu

Yes, I'm in love with you

That's why I'm scared

If we have any physical intimacy, you'll die

I'm not afraid of death

I couldn't care less about your destiny

I just want to be with you

Shuyu

I'm serious about you

Give me a chance,

won't you?
