EPISODE 1

Faster! Faster!

Quickly now.

I was the first to stick it in!

I want to thank--

Being pushed down like this is nothing to me.

Being trampled on by people, is a small price to pay.

As long as I am the first to stick the incense in,

as long as the gods protect my husband,

promote him and keep him healthy...

Ah?

Are you laughing at me?

I love my husband. So what?

For my husband,

I can become the fiercest wife ever.

-I can be a fearless woman. -Hear me, oh gods!

It is I. I am Xie An Zhen.

I got the first incense stick.

It was me!

Hello?

So did they catch him yet?

No, not yet.

But, I'm getting this feeling today.

That pervert's definitely going to show up tonight.

How are things on your end?

I've been waiting for an hour. Still no one.

It's midnight already. I'm at my limit.

That bastard came back as expected.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

Move!

-Honey, please save me. -Leave. I'll take care of it.

A woman who can't vanquish vixens like you

can't call herself a good woman.

A wife who can't protect her husband

is not a good wife.

You are the ones who forced me to use these cruel methods.

Cower at my kitchen knife!

Die!

Hey!

Hey!

Who are you?

I'm here to pick up my husband.

-Is that okay? -Huh?

Sure.

Please wait here.

Thank you.

I'm not sure which client it is,

but he's screwed.

Hao Kang De, you're dead!

Mr. Wen.

Were you just going to leave me in there by myself?

You left without saying a word.

Ms. He.

I know that I'm a lightweight drinker.

You also know that I don't do well here.

So you're saying I'm a natural here?

I never asked you to come out.

Today, the client insisted on meeting you.

Its not my fault you're the favorite of the media.

Then, please apologize to them on my behalf.

Tell them I really can't drink anymore.

You're not helping me because I'm a contender for VP.

Why are you saying stuff like that?

If I didn't want to help you,

I would not be here in the first place.

Really? I'm really that big of a deal?

Since I'm already quite sober,

I have a lot that I wanted to tell you.

We've known each other for many years.

And to be honest,

I've always had...

I've always had a very...

Just say it!

I've always...

respected you.

So, if you do become the new VP.

I wouldn't mind at all.

-I had thought you forgot about our-- -Hey.

We promised.

Whoever brings up the past first is the loser.

To be honest, Rui Fan.

If you want me to back you up for VP,

I wouldn't exactly resist.

Are you willing to follow me?

If you follow me,

you may discover

that we make the best team.

Sorry, I have to get this.

Hello? Honey?

Yes.

I'm about to leave. Just give me one more minute.

Okay, bye bye.

I'm sorry.

I knew that I would be drunk,

so I asked my wife to come get me.

We'll talk some other time.

You should get back, too.

I think you've drank enough as well.

Don't be too aggressive.

Bye bye.

Mr. Wen, you have to come again.

Careful now. Careful.

Mr. Wen, please come again.

-Honey. -Be careful.

Thank you, girls.

Thank you.

Thank you, girls.

Thank you for taking care of him.

Thank you.

Let's go home!

Picking up your husband at a hotel bar?

She's way too fierce.

Here's a towel.

Here's a hangover cure.

Honey.

I'm so lucky to have you.

Thank you.

No need to thank me. You're the one who's working so hard.

If it weren't for our sake,

you wouldn't need to work so hard.

You have to go drink and entertain clients.

Rui Xuan, what's up?

What?

Okay, I know.

Okay.

I know, I know.

What's the matter?

Its nothing.

Aren't you sleepy? Take a nap.

I'll wake you when we get home.

Go to sleep.

-You shameless piece of-- -Hey! Hey!

Miss! Miss!

You are at the police station. Please calm down.

Yeah.

You shameless scum.

You're a father. You have a kid!

And you're out with that young thing!

You're shameless! You're scum!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Don't accuse me falsely!

I was just dropping off some documents.

Who says I was making out with a girl?

Dressed like that with red high heels?

That's your client?

Sir, listen to me.

That girl he was with looked underage.

Hurry and report him for kidnapping!

Listen to her! She's obviously nuts!

I had no idea who that girl was!

You had no idea? The way you looked at her seemed otherwise.

Scumbags like him need to be tortured to confess.

Waterboard him with pepper spray.

Sir, do you see how vicious she is?

You'll have to be my scapegoat.

Alright. Miss. Please understand.

I'm a police officer, not a mob boss.

I wouldn't do anything of what you just said.

You men are all the same.

You all act pure and innocent.

Hao Kang De, drop the act!

I found lipstick in your car before.

You told me you lent the car to your friend.

I caught you red-handed this time!

You had the balls to do it. Now admit your faults!

Let me handles this. Excuse me.

What do I have to admit? I've done nothing to admit!

You're a crazy bitch!

-Bitch? -Yeah.

-Crazy? -Yeah.

I am a crazy bitch?

You assaulted a police officer, and you are obstructing them.

Sir, please lock her up immediately!

Lock her up!

-Rui Xuan! -An Zhen.

Look at Hao Kang De!

He bullies me and threatened to hit me.

-I don't want to live anymore. -Wait a second.

How did you two end up here?

-She... -What the hell are you doing?

I'm sorry for all this, sir.

Please plead with them, ma'am.

Why is this old married couple fighting?

Okay.

An Zhen, stay out of this.

I've decided to divorce you.

Sure. Go ahead. You better not regret it.

I won't regret it at all!

Your house, car, savings and our child will all be mine.

You can then run back naked to that vixen of yours.

What gives you the right?

Our son has my last name!

I'll take him to the USA to my parents.

You can wait and cry then.

Enough!

What's wrong with the two of you?

I suggest that you both divorce.

Just do it!

-Stay out of this! -Stay out of this!

That's right. I want to stay out of this.

If you two go on like this, I'll arrest both of you.

Go ahead and try!

-Go ahead! Arrest me! -Stop being so erratic!

-This is a police station. -You won!

MOM CALLING

Everyone, shut the hell up!

It's Mom.

Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?

Rui Fan? He's fine now.

Us?

I'm with Rui Xuan and Kang De.

We're chatting over tea.

Yeah, An Zhen. This pu-erh tea you made is amazing.

Yep.

Yep, no problem here.

You can still joke in this situation?

Do you want to get my mother involved?

Hao Kang De.

Even if my mom showed up,

I'd still divorce you.

Bring it. I'm not afraid of you.

Let's make it clear right now.

I can't take being treated like a criminal anymore.

-Here. -Okay.

Sir, you be the judge.

Why would I think he's a criminal unless he did something a criminal would do?

-Yeah. -Okay.

Don't you run a background check on those you arrest?

-Yeah. -Let me tell you something.

He's a lowlife through and through.

He's also a repeat offender.

So are my suspicions without grounds?

You're right.

Enough.

Rui Xuan, Kang De.

I'm begging you two, please.

It'll be the New Year's in a couple days.

After the New Year's is over,

you two can decide then whether you want this marriage or not.

We have to be filial to our parents.

-Right? -Right.

-Who asked you? -Who asked you?

Rui Xuan, don't be rude.

Sir, I apologize for all of this.

Just stop and act like a happy couple for our parents.

Okay?

I'll take it that you both agree.

Sir, let me say something.

Spats between couples

should be left alone. You'll only make it worse.

Family matters may be too hard to resolve even for an officer.

Yeah.

Sorry for the trouble, sir.

We troubled you over our couple's spat.

How about I treat you to a cup of tea?

No need. Just go.

If you don't, I'll arrest the lot of you.

Honey, let's go.

So sorry.

What's wrong now?

My husband's still in the car.

Why do I care about your husband?

I think you were a little too impetuous this time.

You wanted to catch him in the act,

but you saw nothing.

Look at Kang De, all smug.

Perhaps he really didn't know that girl.

Please.

Just looking at her high heels,

I could tell something was up.

Also, I know from personal experience.

I know the types of tricks they have.

I trust my senses. I can smell a vixen all over him.

This woman is also a fox.

What? Smell of a vixen?

You have no proof. How could you say that?

What do you mean no proof?

There's abnormal increases in his mileage

and receipts from convenience stores outside his normal routine.

I'm telling you.

If I wasn't this sure about this,

I would never suspect him of cheating.

Rui Xuan.

We've been friends since we were sixteen.

Hear me out here.

You were so in love with Kang De.

Wasn't it because he was so humorous and interesting?

He knew how to make you laugh.

Even now, he likes to flirt.

But, that's just how he is.

Look at these dumplings.

The dough is able to encompass all the meat filling.

That's why they can stick together.

These dumplings will have to go in hot water later.

They'll be cooked, boiled and steamed.

They go through thick and thin to become these tasty things.

These delicious dumplings.

The process is not easy.

Let me tell you.

If the dough didn't accept the meat, they would fall apart in the water.

What an analogy!

Where'd you learn that bit?

Did you google it?

What?

This all comes from my life's experiences.

Okay.

Perhaps I really did misjudge him.

From here on out,

I will work hard to be accepting.

-We wish you good fortune! -We wish you good fortune!

-Happy New Year! -Happy New Year!

Great!

Alright...

Now, onto the red envelopes.

Honey, where's mine?

How old are you?

Wen Yu Meng.

Don't be rude.

Dad, Mommy's so mean.

Today's the New Year.

I'll tell Mommy to be nicer.

-I'm the best behaved. -Yes.

That's my mom!

Yu Meng, we have to share.

What will you do if your mom gives birth to a little brother?

I don't want a brother.

Don't say that!

The bigger the family, the better.

The more, the merrier.

The size of the family is not important.

Harmony within the family is the most important.

Rui Fan.

An Zhen takes care of our family.

She's worked very hard.

I hope that this year

you won't be so busy

so that you can be with your wife.

No, no, no.

Dad, don't you know?

Our VP has decided to move abroad.

Our CEO is looking at Rui Fan and other candidates

to pick a successor.

Rui Fan will be swamped with work.

Our Rui Fan is the best.

An Zhen, you're our daughter-in-law!

You should have told us this sooner.

We should go to the temple

and pray for our Rui Fan's success.

Mom.

You don't need to bring that up.

This is An Zhen we're talking about here.

For Rui Fan's promotion,

she's already gone to the temple to pray.

Hao Kang De.

I told you not to say anything.

I still have to say it.

When it comes to ability and accomplishments,

you pale in comparison to that scheming He Ai Lin.

But in terms of character,

Rui Fan is famous for that.

Everyone in our company

has praised Rui Fan for that.

Well, he had a good upbringing.

-Good character, you say? -Yep.

You should learn from him.

Rui Xuan.

You should learn from your sister-in-law.

Your older brother and sister-in-law

never bicker or quarrel.

But you two

fight every second you get a chance to.

It's not like I like to quarrel.

You guys don't understand me one bit.

Yeah, not one bit.

My wife hates fighting. She's so gentle.

Are you being sarcastic?

No, of course not.

-Honey, I love you the most. -Oh drop the act.

Remember the dumplings?

Oh, right. I have to try hard and accept the dumpling filling.

Who's that? I'll go open the door.

All this talk of dumplings is making me hungry.

-Let's go eat. -Let's go eat.

Red high heels!

It's that vixen! Don't you run away!

Get back here!

Hao Kang De, that girl had the guts to come to our home.

I'm going to make you pay.

"I want you."

"I love you."

"You look very nice."

Hao Kang De!

Happy New Year everyone!

-Happy New Year! -Happy New Year!

Okay.

Now, I would like to humbly make a toast to everyone here.

-I wish that-- -You wish what?

I hope you and that skank grow old together happily.

-What's the matter? -What the hell?

Okay.

Yu Meng, why don't you go upstairs with Zhuang Zhuang, okay?

Rui Xuan, did you forget?

The dumplings!

Dumpling? Screw that!

This dumpling here is rotten!

Rui Xuan, it's the New Year's! Come on.

Please, An Zhen accused me earlier for being mistaken.

This skank just came to our doorstep.

She left a box of chocolates.

"Yes" and "I do"

and "Very good". Sweet, isn't it?

-What are you talking about? -Rui Xuan, calm down.

Right. Calm down.

What did you see outside?

I saw a hot and spicy pair of red high heels.

It was her. That skanky vixen.

Honey.

Are you going crazy?

You're so obsessed with busting me

that you've started to hallucinate.

Hallucinate?

Even if that vixen with red high heels is a hallucination,

what about these chocolates?

Did they fall from the sky?

These are obviously not meant for me.

Or, could it be that...

Why are you looking at my husband?

Sorry, An Zhen.

Could this be for...

What?

Kang De.

Never mind. These are not for me.

I definitely didn't imagine all that.

I really did see that girl.

Hao Kang De, stop trying to trick me.

I've decided to leave you.

Nonsense!

Enough of this!

Everything is still unclear.

You often threaten divorce.

Do you really want to?

If you really want to divorce so badly,

I'll decide the date for you. You'll divorce him tomorrow.

Dad.

Rui Xuan, just be quiet.

If you don't want to, then shut up.

Before we get to the bottom of this,

I don't want to hear those words.

Dad, you're so dignified and wise.

And you!

I don't care if it's a misunderstanding.

It seems to me that you're always involved in trivial things.

Why are there so many suspicions

surrounding you and not Rui Fan?

-Those chocolates may be for him. -Hey.

Don't drag me into this.

That's not what I mean.

I'm saying that Rui Fan's the best.

The bottom of the problem is that,

you and Rui Xuan

are lacking in traditional values.

Husband and wife should respect each other.

Do you understand?

Okay.

Dad, I'm sorry.

It was my fault.

No kidding. Of course it's your fault!

Alright. That's enough.

Dad has heart disease. Did you forget?

We were having such a nice dinner

until the two of you ruined it.

Don't be angry, okay?

Please, eat up.

I'm so angry that I lost my appetite.

Cook me noodles when we get back. Let's go.

Dad...

You kids!

I'm angry. Forget about this dinner.

Mom...

Okay, explain.

What's going on?

I'm willing to confess

that the past incidents

may have had something to do with me.

But I swear. This time it wasn't me.

I really was just dropping off some some documents for the client.

And, that short-haired girl with the red high heels?

I have no idea who she is.

She must've been a fan.

She must've had a secret crush on me and was following me.

So, you're a narcissist.

You've got a severe case of narcissism.

What do you mean narcissism?

Ever since being caught last time by Rui Xuan,

I've seen the error of my ways,

and I've come up with a whole new set of strategies

so that she'll never detect any trace.

I really don't get you.

How can you talk about cheating on your wife so proudly?

Who are you? I don't want to talk to my brother-in-law.

I want to talk to my good friend, Rui Fan.

Rui Fan, talk to me. Are you there, Rui Fan?

Alright, bro. Then tell me.

That's more like it.

Do you remember? I asked a girl out on a date.

-She had big beautiful eyes. -You did this again?

Nothing happened between us.

I just asked her out for dinner, a conversation, a walk.

Technically, she was never my mistress.

She was just my...

"close female friend".

Why isn't your wife your close female friend?

A wife is for life.

That's why I didn't tell my wife.

You're hopeless.

You're the one that's hopeless.

The way I see it,

you've already forgotten the feeling of dating

when you become short of breath, and your heart beats faster,

and you get all excited.

It's like walking through clouds,

as if every cell in your body is singing.

Enough.

Are you talking about dating or drugs?

That's right. Love is like a drug.

It feels like

you're under a spell.

You can't talk right.

Good thing you're a marketing manager for a cosmetics company.

How could you not know how to admire and enjoy women?

So unprofessional!

You can appreciate women passively.

Dude, what is a married man's most important thing?

His conscience. What happened to yours?

Let me tell you something.

This incident will pass soon enough.

But if this happens again,

I won't be able to help you.

Alright, bro.

I know.

How about this? If you're ever caught,

and need someone to cover for you, I'll be with you.

I'm sorry.

I don't need it.

Hey. We still bros?

Of course we are.

But you're real piece of work.

I hope you like these chocolates wishing you happiness. Wei Wei An

WOMEN LEARN THEIR TRICKS FROM PJ.

WOMEN LEARN THEIR TRICKS FROM PJ.

Hello?

Yes, manager. Yes.

We're all set here.

No problem. We can begin immediately.

-Okay. I understand. -Ah Tang.

-Okay. Thank you. -Who said to take down the display board?

Our focus today is the products.

All this flare and ornate effects. There's no focus at all.

Are you incompetent?

-Rui Fan. -Its okay.

Just do whatever she says.

But this is the Marketing Department's event.

What is the Sales Manager doing here?

She's got a temper.

If she wants to be VP, this isn't the way.

Cut her some slack.

The important thing is that the event goes smoothly.

You're the bigger person here. You act like a true VP.

Stop flattering.

Hurry up and get ready to begin.

What you see here is PJ.

Every season, we present a variety of themed limited edition products,

including eye shadow, contour and lipstick.

They bring out a woman's strength while keeping her cuteness,

innocence and elegance.

She'll exude confidence with her eyes.

Let's have our makeup artist here demonstrate.

I'll take this simple look

and apply some rouge.

Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen, the exhibition is exceptional.

That's because the product itself is attractive.

By the looks of things, our sales numbers will end up in the double digits.

-No problem. -Mr. Wen.

Can I have your phone number?

If we have any questions about the products,

we'd like to call and consult with you.

If you have any questions about the products,

you can call the company's training center and consult the trainers there.

The trainers there will give you a much more comprehensive consultation.

Okay...

I'm counting on you two.

Oh, okay.

-Bye bye. -Okay.

He has no weak spots.

He's a hard one to bait.

You better just quit now.

The man has a beautiful and capable wife at home.

I don't care if he has a wife.

Can't we just have an innocent chat?

Chat?

If you want to chat, you can always chat with me, the Director of Sales.

Chatting can increase sales, you know?

Chatting is a natural part of sales.

Chatting is my personal specialty.

-Come on. Talk to me. -Okay.

Let's go provide service for other customers.

Hey, Jessica.

Excuse me miss, do you use makeup?

No, thank you. I'm here for my husband.

A woman with a husband

needs makeup even more.

With makeup, you won't become an old hag.

I mean look. You have lifeless eyes and dark circles around your eyes.

Your skin is dark and stiff.

You have chapped and dull lips.

Men won't be able to look at you.

How much is this set then?

The original price was $220.

But today, it's on sale at 30% off.

It's only around $150.

$150?

I can get a whole week's worth of groceries for $62 alone.

I don't think I need this.

I just use mung beans and egg whites.

It's quite effective. You should try it.

Wait a minute.

A woman needs to love herself.

You cannot be stingy on yourself.

-It will help you hold onto your husband. -Honey!

Are we going now?

Not yet. There's still an interview.

Oh okay. Go get 'em!

You got this!

Okay.

Mr. Wen is her husband?

No way.

Our products this time

get their inspiration from a symphonic fusion of energy and elegance.

The products have many features,

be it eye shadow or compacts.

That's right. It's like the makeup I have on now.

It's from our French Princess series.

How does it look?

Ms. He is our number one spokesperson.

You can tell just by looking at her.

Our company's products are very convincing.

All our products complement each other.

Do your roles at work

also complement each other?

Of course. The Sales Department

has provided much help to the Marketing Planning Department.

They're not stingy with their feedback.

So, they really keep us on our toes and help us improve.

This is the challenging part of sales.

Sometimes you try to help, but they won't necessarily be grateful.

Would you two like to take a picture together?

-Sure. -No need.

It's fine.

Our products are targeting people

like Ms. He here, who is all about being a new kind of metropolitan woman.

She's also the best spokesperson we have.

A man like me can't compare, so I'll be going now.

Thank you.

Honey.

-Sweetie. -Let's go.

Honey, what's with you and that Ms. He?

Are you upset because you're both competing for the VP position?

I guess I can't hide it.

It's so obvious.

Last time, when we were entertaining clients,

I offended her.

But, it's fine.

Working women like her aren't petty.

So, you're saying housewives are petty?

Of course not.

Don't be angry. If you're angry over this, then that's being petty.

To be honest, I envy her.

She's both beautiful and capable.

Must be nice being her.

If you were like her, I would have never married you.

You're more capable and beautiful than she'll ever be.

You're such a suck-up.

Honey, let me tell you,

it doesn't matter how beautiful they are.

They mean nothing to me.

I know exactly how they think and how they are on the inside.

I'm not the least bit interested in them.

Narcissist.

But, you're my narcissist.

-Let's go home and eat. -Okay.

I'll help you carry those.

No need. Just stay handsome like this.

Look. I bought your favorite, eggplants.

Eggplants!

What are you going to cook it with?

Ginger?

-Diamond! -Twinkle!

Grandma!

Yu Meng!

-Oh, my precious granddaughter. -Mom.

-Mom. -Hey.

Rui Fan.

You're always so busy.

You're finally able to take a break.

You all must've gone through hellish traffic.

We're always so busy, and never have time to see you.

I wanted to come visit you with An Zhen.

Our An Zhen

She really lucked out with you.

The heavens favored her and gave her such a wonderful husband.

Oh Mom, you're too much.

Rui Fan has really been craving

for your pickled white radish.

Speaking of which,

my batch this year came out nicely.

Rui Fan will definitely like it.

Let's go inside then.

-This is heavy. Can you carry it? -Sure.

Oh, my precious granddaughter!

There are so many.

Look at Yu Meng.

The older she gets, the smarter and cuter she becomes.

Here you go, Yu Meng.

An Zhen.

I remembered something the other day.

You're going to be thirty two this year.

Yes.

What's wrong with that?

If you don't have another baby, you're going to be too old.

You should go get checked out.

Find out why you haven't conceived.

We already have Yu Meng. It's fine.

What do you mean its fine?

Your mother-in-law won't verbalize it,

but what if she's patiently waiting?

You didn't heed my words that year.

You should've just gotten it all over with.

You wouldn't have to worry now.

I am already so tired raising Yu Meng.

If only your uncle were still in Taiwan, he'd be able to check you.

He's an obstetrician.

I remember him.

He came with his family to my wedding.

That's right.

Then, they all immigrated to the US.

Then, they got divorced.

Your uncle got remarried to a Korean woman.

Don't they have a daughter?

She was only in middle school at the time.

Yep. Her name is Wei En.

Oh right. Speaking of which,

your uncle called me a couple of days ago,

and wanted me to ask you something.

Ask me what?

He said Wei En just graduated from college.

But, both her parents remarried.

Both parents have children of their own.

So she's having a hard time finding a place to call home.

Wei En said she wants to come here to look for a job.

She wants to know if she can temporarily stay at your place.

Just temporarily.

When she finds a job and familiarizes herself with the environment,

she'll move out.

Oh.
