Relying on her late father's influence, she throws down a divorce agreement, packs her belongings, and moves with her servants to one of the estates she brought as dowry.

He also wants to take her back and restore her status as his legal wife. Gu Xinzhi looks at the handsome and dashing Grand Tutor Xie, who is thirty-two, and smiles. She says, "I'm willing to return to the Xie family, but I want to do things differently." Grand Tutor Xie remains composed. "Go on." Gu Xinzhi smiles sweetly.

She plays... the fifth female lead, the male lead's bratty younger sister. To get on the Best Actor's good side, Xu Yunwei calls him "Big Brother" nonstop on set, acting as sweet as can be. Everyone thinks she's a sweet little angel through and through. Xu Yunwei: "I'm serious about acting!" On the third day of filming, production is delayed due to an accident. The moment Xu Yunwei gets her phone back, she hurries off to a corner to return a missed call. "Is that idiot Yun Feiyang online yet? No? Is he scared? Fine, I'll get online in half an hour!" She hangs up and turns around to find the Best Actor standing a few steps away, phone in hand. He didn't hear her swear, did he? Xu Yunwei quickly puts on a well-behaved smile. "Hi, Big Brother. I have something to take care of, so I'll be going now. Bye, Big Brother." She promptly makes her escape.
