Mr. Wen, do you have a girlfriend?
I want to focus on work. I don't want to date right now.
If a man really was interested in you,
he'd do something about it.
Ms. Huang works for Grandma.
If she finds out we don't sleep together, she'll be suspicious.
But we signed a contract.
An Ran, she isn't my friend.
She's my wife.
I don't have an ulterior motive.
Ling Yizhou is an adult.
Do you think I could trick him?
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
EPISODE 4
This isn't what I wore yesterday.
He should be gone by now.
Morning.
Don't you normally leave at eight?
I got up late today.
So, last night when I was drunk...
I didn't do anything weird, right?
You don't remember anything?
It's the first time I've blacked out.
You barfed all over me.
Really? I'm so sorry.
This is my first time getting drunk.
-I'll be careful next time. -There won't be a next time.
No drinking anymore.
Yesterday I had a curfew, today, I can't drink. Any more restrictions?
Might as well tell me now.
We'll see how you do and adjust accordingly.
Is he mad?
So, my clothes...
Ms. Huang changed you.
Something came up. The meeting has been pushed back an hour
The real reason they postponed the meeting is that Mr. Ling is late.
The sun will rise in the west before Mr. Ling ever runs late.
But the group chat has never been wrong.
Oh, no! Mr. Ling's eight-year perfect attendance record is going to be broken!
I just want to know why he was late. Could he be dating someone?
-Ms. Huang. -Yes?
Get rid of all the alcohol in the house.
Yes, sir.
Is there something on my face?
I'll get it.
That's mine. Don't you only drink coffee?
I know. I just wanted to drink yours.
I'll give you a ride.
Park here! Stop.
Sorry, my foot slipped.
Don't you know that the paparazzi always camp out by the entrance?
If they get a photo of us, it's over.
Who cares if they do? Then we can go public.
For you. Take it.
What is it?
No way, this is too expensive. I can't take it.
This is a necessary prop for our act.
Grandma would be suspicious.
Props are always fake. This is overkill.
Reporters are sharp. They'll notice right away.
I can't take it.
What are you doing?
Keep it on.
It really is you, Director Ling.
I thought this car looked familiar. What are you doing here?
Just passing by.
How lucky.
I have something to discuss with you. Can you talk right now?
Sure. What is it?
Are you alright?
-Let me see. -I'm fine!
There are mosquitos in my car.
I just remembered something. I have to get to the office.
Did you do that on purpose?
How do you know Lin Shuangshuang?
She's our company's new spokesperson.
She seems quite interested in you.
Are you jealous?
You're going to be late.
Hurry up and go now. Bye. I'll get going.
What a player.
Did I get an answer last night?
Passing out at the most important moment, I'm such an idiot.
He has all these rules for me.
It's like I'm one of his employees.
Not him again.
Hold it.
Are you here to talk about the red carpet event?
I'll do my buddy Ling a favor
and give you a tip.
What's your problem?
Your face looks better covered.
Now you've got a shot.
Trust me.
Guess why Ms. Shuangshuang's assistant came to PR?
To find out about Ling Yizhou again?
She went to Marketing, too?
Isn't she embarrassed? Causing such a stir?
She finally became the Lingshi Group spokesperson.
Now she's trying to go after Ling Yizhou.
No wonder there's been so many rumors about them lately.
So, she is going after Ling Yizhou.
If talking to her didn't work,
I'll have her come to me.
Sorry, Mr. Ling.
I need to use your name.
You were talking about Ling Yizhou?
I actually kind of know him.
Write down the four points I just made.
Or else you'll be on your own for the report.
Ms. Shuangshuang.
I heard you know Director Ling's housekeeper.
Ma'am, you're home.
-Is he home? -Not yet, but he should be soon.
Ms. Huang.
What does Ling Yizhou like?
He's never really been too fond of anything.
But there is one thing now.
What is it?
You, ma'am!
I guess I'll have to risk it then.
I'm sorry, Mr. Ling.
It's so clean in here.
He was such a cute kid.
How can there be nothing here?
Maybe it's a study?
Hi...
What are you doing in my room?
I didn't get a good look last time.
So I came for another visit.
I hate when people mess with my stuff.
I'm sorry.
I just wanted to get to know you more.
So last night's incident won't happen again.
Can't you just ask me?
What do you like?
I mean, do you have any interests or hobbies?
I like work.
That's not what I mean.
I want to know
what kind of gifts do you like to get for your birthday?
Nothing. I've never celebrated my birthday.
Never celebrated your birthday? Why?
I get up at six o'clock to work out. Breakfast is at seven. Only coffee.
At eight, I go to work.
If nothing comes up, I'm home by seven o'clock.
I hate spicy food and weird-tasting vegetables.
I only wear tailor-made clothes. That's about it.
Did you just...
I'm introducing myself. Didn't you want to get to know me?
Should I introduce myself then?
Your favorite color is blue.
You like spicy food and anything strawberry-flavored.
You hate the smell of smoke and love to sing.
Your dream is to win Best Actress.
How did you know?
Because I do my homework.
What are you doing?
This is my room.
I can do whatever I want.
I'm going to shower. Would you like to join me?
Did he just flirt with me?
And I still got no answers.
What am I supposed to tell Yin Shuangshuang tomorrow?
Robots. Right. He likes robots!
He doesn't really seem like the kind of person who'd like these things.
Don't worry, Ms. Shuangshuang.
This information is totally reliable.
Alright then. Grab this. Come visit the Lingshi Group with me.
Visit the Lingshi Group?
I want to invite Director Ling to attend the film premiere with me.
We can check whether your information is true or not.
Director Ling.
You have five minutes.
Start talking.
I wanted to ask you yesterday
if you'd join me at the movie premiere tomorrow evening.
Miss Yin, you should know that I never go to events like that.
Director Ling, I know that
you collect robots like this.
So I went out and bought one just for you.
Thank you for your gift.
But I can't accept your invitation.
Five minutes are up. Goodbye.
-I'm in trouble. -Director Ling! I...
I...
Do you think I look like an idiot?
No. I would never lie to you.
Xia Lin, I thought you were an honest person.
That's why I believed you.
You're just a D-list actress. How dare you fool me?
I wasn't lying.
When Director Ling was a kid, he had the exact same robot.
Where's the proof?
You're still lying to me.
Xia Lin, you listen to me.
You're not walking the red carpet tomorrow.
Not just the red carpet,
you're not going to any company events ever again!
How can I make you believe me, Shuangshuang?
Director Ling.
You...
Do you know me?
I didn't before.
Now I do.
Then why did you say that
I had the exact same robot when I was a child?
I...
It was a guess.
Don't all boys like cars and toy models?
I couldn't afford a car.
Director Ling, I had her buy this gift for you.
If you don't like it, that's fine.
I'll keep it in mind next time
-and buy you a different gift. -No.
I like the gift a lot.
-I'll go to the event. -Really, Director Ling?
Mr. Ling, you have a meeting tomorrow.
-Reschedule it. -OK.
Hey.
You.
Come here.
Give it to me.
-Goodbye. -Bye-bye! Bye.
You really got lucky, didn't you?
But, since you completed your mission,
I'll uphold my end of the deal.
Pick up your dress from the company tomorrow.
I'm sorry. If I buy you a shirt, will you forgive me?
What if I bought you some pants?
What should I...
Miss.
Can you get me one of these?
Sorry, miss. This is the last one.
Why?
Sir.
Could I buy that tie from you?
Why?
Because they said it's the last one.
And I saw it first.
I just wasn't as quick as you.
But I like it, too.
My boyfriend and I are fighting.
I want to buy him a present to make up for it.
I spent so much time looking for a good gift.
Please let me have it.
Please.
Alright. I won't be a bad person.
This tie is really nice. Your boyfriend should forgive you.
Really? Thank you.
How much was it?
Sir!
What a nice man.
I'll pay him back some day.
Sir, she's not in a good mood today.
She hasn't eaten any dinner.
She's been in her room and hasn't come out.
I understand.
Can I help you?
Do you have a minute?
I have something to tell you.
Go on.
For me?
Haven't you already given me a toy robot?
Sorry about the robot thing.
When I went into your room last night, I saw the picture on your nightstand.
-So... -So when you asked about my interests,
it was all for Yin Shuangshuang. Why?
I can only go to the premiere if I help her.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have violated your privacy.
I apologize.
One of my family members gave me this robot when I turned eight.
I lost it a long time ago.
I should thank you for buying it for me again.
I really just didn't think it all through.
I'm really sorry.
Besides this...
is there anything else you should apologize for?
You didn't wear the ring today.
That's my bad.
If you forgive me,
I'll agree to whatever you ask.
Are you sure?
What I mean is, I'll do whatever I can do for you.
You've already done it.
I'll gladly prove you wrong.
-You... That night... We... -Remember now?
So you're not...
Looks like I need to prove you wrong again.
Fine. I forgive you.
Don't let it happen again.
What should I do? Xia Lin, you're an idiot. Why did you drink?
What should I do?
Hello? An Ran?
What about this pair?
They look good. I think they suit you really well.
Thank you for coming.
I'm sorry it was so sudden.
It's fine. I forgot to buy shoes yesterday anyways.
I'm going to the premiere tonight. I might as well buy a pair.
I'm an expert at this.
I'll choose some for you.
Sure.
Are you and Yizhou getting along?
We're doing OK.
It's just that he can be a bit domineering sometimes.
He actually has a pretty good temper.
He's used to calling the shots at work. It probably affects his personal life.
I know, right?
When he doesn't like something, there's no room for discussion.
He always has so many rules and demands.
What do you think of this pair?
Can't let your shoes steal the show, right?
That's true.
No, these are way too expensive.
I ran through my credit card yesterday.
Let's try another pair.
Just have Yizhou buy them for you.
He's always been generous with gifts.
So, of course, he wouldn't be stingy with you.
But I don't want to...
We'll take this pair. Don't worry about it.
If you really aren't comfortable with it, I'll buy them for you.
Don't do that.
I have another card.
I'll just use this one, I guess.
Give me a minute. I'll go pay for them.
This is all that Marketing has done in one month?
Tell them that I want a completely new idea,
not just putting lipstick on a pig.
If they can't even grasp this simple concept,
we'll fire them all today.
Yes, sir.
Boss, I didn't buy that tie for you, did I?
Mumu bought it for me.
Your wife has a good eye.
That's for sure.
YOUR CARD WAS CHARGED 3,980RMB AT 11:40
Wen Li.
Tell Marketing I'll give them another three days.
Yes, sir.
Not bad.
Don't forget that the designer sponsored this dress.
This is the only one. Don't damage it.
Go find Shuangshuang and try to match your walking paces.
Got it. Don't worry, Lisa.
Go now.
You must be Xia Lin. Hello, I'm Su Xi.
Hello.
You'll be walking the red carpet with me tonight?
Oh, good. I finally found a partner!
I'm so nervous. I'm worried my legs will give out.
Imagine yourself walking through a zoo and you'll be just fine.
Don't you know who's going to be there? How could they be animals?
Humans are just advanced animals.
I guess so.
Your dress looks a lot like mine.
It's to accentuate Shuangshuang.
Let's go.
WET PAINT
Xialin, are you OK?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry, Xia Lin. I wasn't standing steady.
It's fine. It's not your fault.
Hey, hey, hey.
Which drama are you two supposed to be acting in?
Su Xi, go ahead and find Shuangshuang.
-But you... -I'm fine, just go.
-Are you alright? -As if you care.
Great job there.
Oh, God!
This dress is mainly made of silk.
I bet the stain won't come out.
Keep talking and I'll--
What's the matter?
Gosh, Xia Lin!
How many times did I tell you?
This is a haute couture piece!
Use that backed-up brain of yours and think about what that means!
Do you know how much this dress cost? How will I explain this to the designer?
I'm so sorry, Lisa. I'll find a way to fix it.
Fix it? How are you going to fix it?
I warned you.
This is all your fault.
The company is going to blame this on you.
If you can't take care of this, the brand will blacklist us.
Don't bother going to the event tonight. Su Xi will go on her own.
Do you feel good about yourself right now?
Someone like you wouldn't survive two episodes in a TV series.
Don't waste your time trying to get the stain out.
She wouldn't have pushed you if you could get it out.
How is this your business?
Actually, you wouldn't even last one episode.
What do you want me to do?
Take Su Xi's dress and blame it on her?
Then walk with Ms. Shuangshuang on the red carpet with a smile?
Then I'd be just like her.
At least she showed me her true self right off the bat.
I'm going to get this dress clean.
She wants all the glory for herself? Not going to happen.
-Hello? -Did you get the stain out?
No. What's going on over there? Any news?
My friend has a similar dress. I'll meet you at the entrance.
Really?
I've asked so many people. I knew I could count on you.
I love you so much, Fei!
Ma'am.
Wen Li, what are you doing here?
Miss Jia sent me. Mr. Ling is waiting for you in the lounge.
Please.
That traitor Feifei.
Hi.
Why didn't you tell me?
You're always busy.
I didn't want to bother you.
I'm your husband.
You'd rather get help from Jia Fei and not me?
You're my nominal husband.
But she's my true family.
-What are you doing? -Say that again.
Ouch.
What's wrong?
It's fine. I just accidentally bumped into something.
Don't go to the event.
Why?
I can deal with the curfew and no drinking,
but this is my job. You can't decide things for me.
Isn't that the tie I bought you?
It suits you well.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to talk to the designer
and see if they have a similar outfit that I can wear.
Why didn't you just ask me for help?
It didn't cross my mind.
There are 12 custom-made versions of that dress.
I'll have someone bringing over the most similar one.
Just change into that.
What about the dress I ruined?
-Will they make me pay? -No.
I bought out their design and supply chain.
Did you do that because of me?
You think too much.
We've been planning it for a while. I just pushed things forward a bit.
Either way, thank you so much.
No need to thank me. I wasn't helping you anyways.
I was helping out Mrs. Ling.
She's a reflection of my reputation.
-Nobody knows that we're married. -I do.
Wait here a while.
After you change, you can eat and head out.
Su Xi.
You'll walk behind Shuangshuang and Chu Yan.
Don't make any weird faces.
Remember that you're only here as an accessory.
Got it, Lisa.
Since Xia Lin isn't here, I won't embarrass the company.
Who says I'm not here?
Xia Lin?
Lisa, I'll do my best as well.
Let's follow the original plan.
Get ready and let's go.
Nice dress.
Thank you, Ms. Shuangshuang.
-I'm going to the restroom. -I'll go with you.
Xia Lin, I...
Looks like you're not nervous anymore. Good luck.
I hope what you did was worth it.
Mrs. Ling is quite impressive. She can even wash out paint stains.
You were acting all self-sufficient a while ago.
But you still went to Ling.
Yes, he's my husband.
Who else would I go to? You?
You...
That's right, Mr. Chu.
I know feelings can be hard to control.
But he's already married.
So it would be best for you to give up.
You're crazy.
Let's go.
This way, please.
THE 12TH ANNUAL GANGDONG FILM FESTIVAL
This can't be real.
How can shoes this expensive be such poor quality?
My red carpet...
My media exposure...
What are you doing?
Here's some ointment.
I... I can do it myself.
You weren't this polite yesterday when you used me to suck up to Yin Shuangshuang.
I thought you'd forgiven me for that.
OK. Lie down.
Hurry up now. On your side.
Don't move.
Do you want me to force you?
You can just have Ms. Huang do it.
My foot also got hurt.
Anywhere else that hurts?
No, I don't mean it like that.
It's nothing major.
It'll be fine by tomorrow.
You can just do your own thing.
We need to talk.
About what?
You worked so hard.
In the end, you still missed the red carpet. Do you regret it?
Even if I knew this would happen, I'd still do it all over again.
Because this is a job I like.
Has it ever occurred to you
that if you want to be successful
there's a great shortcut?
Just go public with our relationship and the media will be all over you.
No.
I don't want my work to be drowned out by scandals and gossip.
In two years, I don't want
the news to say that I'm just Ling Yizhou's wife.
I can keep our marriage secret.
Ouch... Really?
But I have one condition.
What is it?
I'm always busy with work.
To make sure we spend time together and to fool Grandma,
you need to have breakfast with me every day.
I was thinking a lot worse.
Pinky promise.
Don't sleep on that side tonight.
Thank you for helping me today and for agreeing to keep us a secret.
Good night. I'll leave the ointment here for you.
Stay strong, Xia Lin.
You must stay strong!
Can you just cut it out?
You're yelling at me. How dare you yell at me?
If you calm down, I'll do whatever you want.
Really?
Then I want to win Best Actress.
Try something else.
I want... a secret marriage.
Fine, I'll agree to that.
Also... I want to change clothes.
-I'll get Ms. Huang. -No!
I want to change right now.
No... Don't...
Subtitle translation by D. Jake Eberts
I want to bring a dog home. Just for a few days.
No way.
My friend needs me to look after a dog for two days.
Could you help me persuade Ling Yizhou?
If I hadn't gone abroad two years ago,
I'd be married to you right now, wouldn't I?
An Ran.
Some things in this world are destined to be.
No matter how many times you reset it, the results will still be the same.
