♫ Legend has it that humans long ago ♫
♫ Lived in the darkness far underground ♫
♫ They dispatched the dainty hummingbird ♫
♫ To find the tunnel leading to the light ♫
♫ Flying over the islands one by one ♫
♫ Really wanting a place to stop and rest ♫
♫ Creating dreams one by one ♫
♫ Will there be someone who will hear it? ♫
♫ The dream of finding the sun, overestimating myself to say ♫

Third Uncle.
Third Aunt, we're here to see you.
- You came. - What are you doing?
What is this? So scary.
Don't be scared. Sit and I'll tell you.
It's nothing. Those are the silver needles for acupuncture.
Are you not hurting with all those needles poking you?
- Try it and see if it hurts. - No!
You guys came.
- Third Uncle. - Auntie Lan.
Did Third Uncle have a stroke?
Xiao Xu Tian. You even understand this.
Okay, Third Uncle,
tell the kids what happened.
Leave me some face, can't you?
What happened?
Never mind that your Third Uncle was competitive when he was young.
But now, he already at this age and he's still not curbing it.
How is it? Do you still have no feeling?
No.
Then there's no other choice, I'll have to poke a few more needles in you.
Who told you to get jealous so easily?
I think I know.
Third Uncle, did you go to the Chaozhou Club to flirt with girls again?
What flirting...
In my life, besides your Aunt Lan,
who have I ever been serious about?
Yeah. You only like drinking beer.
Drinking to such that your blood vessels bursted.
He snuck himself entirely under the table.
Why did you say everything?
Third Uncle...
Third Uncle, let me massage you.
No. You don't know how.
Look at how your Third Aunt does it.
Eat some fruit. Xu Tian.
Once your Third Aunt massages me, I immediately feel comfortable.
You are so old.
Your speech also isn't as agile,
yet still acting so inappropriately in front of the kids.
I'm like this in front of anyone.
You two don't know your Third Aunt was so beautiful when she was young.
If I wasn't this inappropriate, I don't know when I would've gotten the chance to date her.
Aren't you talking a bit much today?
Third Uncle, tell us a bit about your past.
I don't dare to say.
I heard someone mention it before.
Third Aunt, I heard you even resorted to violence with a foreigner once.
Didn't we say that we won't mention this?
I'm hungry, go make me some abalone stew.
Do you think there's abalone stew every day?
If other people want to eat it, of course there isn't any.
However, if I want to eat it, Auntie Lan will definitely make it for me.
Isn't that right, Auntie Lan?
Of course.
Don't make Auntie Lan angry. Go.
Aunt Lan. Let's go.
I'll go to the kitchen with you. Teach me how to make it.
Let's go.
Be frank, was it that old Yun Fei who sent you here?
You even know this?
She hasn't left the house in 2 weeks. Of course, he's going crazy.
Third Uncle, a sly, old devil like you
can't be defeated even if it was 10 Yun Fei's going against you.
How can you talk to your elder like that?
I'm sorry.
You jerk.
Qiming. What is this for?
Why didn't you tell me about such a happy event?
I had to hear it from Zhengzheng.
She said that Sheng Xia is getting married.
Now you must be happy.
Weren't you always hoping Sheng Xia would come back to Beijing?
So she can keep you company. Now it's good, she's not coming back by herself.
But bring a son-in-law with her.
I need to hurry and prepare all the things Sheng Xia needs for the wedding.
This... This was used by the auntie next door during her wedding.
I bought this from an old shop. This old shop was difficult to find. I walked around in circles a few times.
I sent Zhengzheng out for stuff. She'll be back soon.
We didn't even settle the marriage date yet.
You are more stressed than me.
Wait, it's not set...isn't it already settled?
You even went to look at the wedding venue.
I did look at the wedding venue.
I wanted to know the venue better first. Good places are popular and will be booked right away.
I wanted to plan out the strategies first to be prepared.
We're also just doing preparations as well.
Let's look at this one first.
Old Tan, Auntie Feng...
Zhengzheng, you're here too.
You guys spent a lot on these.
It's fine. Sister Sheng Xia is getting married, we're all happy for her.
- Come in. Come in. - Let me take off my shoes.
No need. No need.
The house is so clean so it's fine.
Fengying, come look at this. Is it straight? Come.
Broke up?
How come they broke up?
Dad. It doesn't look good.
But we have to put it up and try it.
- How is the height– - Take it off.
What's wrong?
Just put it up in advance.
They broke up!
Broke up?
Take it off. You guys leave.
Take it all off and leave.
My God.
Sheng Xia. Tell me.
What kind of mess did you do this time?
Weren't you perfectly fine meeting his parents?
How did you break up just like that?
What did you do wrong again? (lit. did your nerves get connected wrong?)
Why do you think that breaking up is my fault?
I am your daughter.
If it's not your fault, who's fault is it?
Shen Kai? He has another woman?
No.
Then it's your fault. You have someone else.
How is that possible? Okay, I'm going home.
That's it. I'm hanging up.
Sheng Xia. Sheng Xia!
- You dare hang up on me. - Auntie I'm leaving first.
Fengying, don't be mad.
They might just be squabbling and they'll get back together in a few days.
Jia Xiaoduo told me Sheng Kai is very good, loves and spoils her to bits.
How can she not know the difference?
Isn't dating just like this? Breaking up and getting back together.
Shen Kai has a good background and he's a good guy.
How come she didn't know to cherish him?
Wouldn't it be too late by the time she knows how to cherish him?
Tell me. Who did she get that temper from?
Whoever temper she gets from, it's not from you. Sit, sit. I'll go make you some late-night snacks.
Tan Qiming. Do you have a head?
Can I still eat at this time? I'm already full from anger!
Eat what?
Because we take notice, that's why we care.
It's just that we neglected
the power given off by those few words
was inversely proportional to how short it was.
Sometimes, we would think, what exactly is genuine care?
Sheng Xia.
Sheng Xia. You really broke up?
Listen to me. Buy a ticket to fly to Shen Kai's house. You still have time.
I'm tired. I want to go to bed.
Sheng Xia.
Actually, today Kaven called me.
He doesn't really want to break up with you.
He's just waiting for you to go back to him.
As long as you don't just focus on your work and neglect him,
he still loves you.
I don't need that type of love.
Sheng Xia. Listen to me. The most important thing to a woman is marriage and love.
These are more important than having a career.
Besides, you lost the lawsuit, what do you have to make a living?
This is real life, not some fairy tale world.
Can't you wake up?
If you really don't have him, you'll really have nothing now.
I didn't come abroad to marry someone.
Yes. You came for design.
But...they have so much money.
If you want to design, they can open a store for you within minutes, isn't that good enough?
Xiaoduo, do you think that is good?
My life should be coming from my own effort.
In love, it's not that the more you give me, the better.
It should be growing together, supporting each other, and becoming better versions of ourselves.
I don't want to listen to your big concepts.
This is not a big concept.
Xiaoduo.
Me and Kaven...he's giving me a kind of love as if giving to a charity,
eventually, it will turn into a business transaction.
It can change. I can't accept that, do you understand?
Then let me ask you. Do you love Kaven?
Love isn't everything.
Okay. I know.
Suit yourself.
Xiaoduo.
Life should be coming from your own effort.
I'm not obligated to keep you company.
Who is it?
- Hurry and help me. - Let me.
You're in the wrong room, aren't you?
Did Xu Tian not come back?
You two left together. Why are you asking me?
It's better if he didn't come back.
I want to make a Chinese feast for Xu Tian.
This is the specialty that Third Aunt taught me.
Help me take all of it out.
You, make Chinese food? And a special recipe?
Of course. Third Aunt is who Xu Tian most admires right now.
Fine then.
- You wash the tomatoes. - I'll look for the tomatoes.
- Forget it, I'll do it. - You do it then.
I'll cut the onions later.
The wok isn't clean either.
You wash it.
Is this the biggest the fire can go?
- Put in the...ginger and garlic. Hurry. Put the ginger and garlic in. - I'm coming.
And then put in the onions.
You—
Why are you hugging me?
I'm also...I'll go explain it to him.
I'm so furious.
Hey. Wait. Let me explain. It's not what you think.
Just now, oil splattered. I was just shielding her.
- Because she was.. - Relax. I didn't misunderstand.
If you're serious about her then be with her.
She really did it because of you. You can't walk away. You can't leave.
I know. Tonight I'll come back later.
It's not what you're thinking. Salina was making Chinese food for you.
That's even more reason for me to not go back.
If you don't go back, she will be sad.
If I give her hope and then disappoint her, she'll be even more upset.
So I can't accept it.
I don't understand. Selena is such a good girl.
So Han Brother, you need to take the chance.
You and Selena being together.
Compared to those other hoodlums she runs around with, I'm so much happier about this.
You don't want this problem, so you push it on me. I have my own dates.
Who are you dating?
Then if I have a date, you'll go back?
How about it? Deal?
Okay.
Hello?
Hank, how come you suddenly have time? Come and get a drink with me.
Hello? Hank, are you listening?
Hello?
Coming soon.
What? Doing feel good?
What?
Why else would you call me?
Then what about you? Drinking beer all alone. Isn't it dangerous?
i've encountered every scary event. What else is there?
Last time, I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Hurry and tell me.
Have you captured the heart of that girl you so bravely saved before?
No. Her heart is only Xu Tian.
Let me think about it.
I understand. If she got together with Xu Tian, you'll feel bad.
If they don't get together, you'll feel even worse. Am I right?
Yeah.
How do you know?
Do you remember that show, "The Phantom of the Opera" where we bumped into each other that time?
Yes. If you can only see one show in your life, it should be "The Phantom of the Opera".
I'm telling you I'm like that phantom.
I remember I once saw...
I saw the PHantom
I really cried like crazy.
Really. Actually...
don't you think love is sacrifice; it's not possession.
We're all phantoms.
A Christian Bale lives in all our hearts.
Who's your Christine?
Drink.
Hello?
Hello. Is this Sheng Xia? I'm Mike, from Community Services.
Tomorrow morning at seven in the morning, please report for duty at the court.
The court?
Yes. This is the community service you were assigned to.
The court's sanitation service is quite good. Please be there on time tomorrow.
Okay. I'll be there tomorrow.
Since we are Chinese people, people are taking care of you.
Or you would have been picking up garbage.
Who is taking care of me? Why?
It'll be from 7am until 4pm. You'll have an hour to rest in between.
Every day work for 8 hours.
Your supervisor will use video and written material to record your work.
These will be given to the person in charge. Do you have any other questions?
Uh...no.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Aren't you supposed to report tomorrow morning. Why are you here now?
The person taking care of me is you?
When you lose a case, you can only make it up in some other way.
Heard that you went to go meet the parents.
How was it?
I wasn't right, was I?
Hey.
Are you okay?
What gives you the right to talk about me?
Tell me. Every time I make a spectacle of myself...
How does he think about me?
I always thought I was depending on my own designs,
getting a foothold here...I was so proud of myself.
But it was all fake.
It was all fake. Do you know?
I'm not afraid of other people laughing at me.
Struggling again and again, fatigue...that's fine with me.
but at least I know I'm worth something.
But now I don't know if I can do it.
I don't know if I'm talented in design!
I feel like a parasite!
Sometimes, I think the same thing.
Are the things that I love to do really the things that I'm best at?
When I look back, all that effort is wasted.
That hurts the most.
Didn't think that you know how to comfort someone.
Does this count as comfort?
Should be?
Your free therapy is over.
If you want me to continue talk to you, then you'll have to pay.
Okay. Let's talk about something that's worth $5.
Are you paying by cash or card?
Actually, I feel sorry for him.
I always thought that I'd keep him company after I was done.
Then I'd keep pushing it.
One day, I suddenly lifted my head and realized...
I suddenly realized we were very far from each other.
Do you think I'm very selfish.
Do you want to hear the truth or not?
I'll give you 5 more dollars. Say something that sounds good.
All people are difficult.
You have to learn to love yourself and then love someone else.
You are just a normal person.
Don't just follow society's values.
What are you wiping with that, lady? That's my coat.
Could you stop always butting in? Can you just let me cry a while?
Here. Cry.
What kind of fabric is this?
It's so rough.
Can't cry anymore right?
Can't cry anymore.
I'll give you 2 options.
First. Even though you're heartbroken right now, you must not give up hope. Think about it.
Some day, when you run into Shen Kai and his new girlfriend in your current state
your loss will be more tragic.
Second. You don't have that blockhead in money matters who will pay the bills for you anymore.
So, your clothing designs will definitely be tested by the market.
Have you prepared yourself for that?
Of course not.
Do you think I'll collapse after a single setback?
That's good then.
How about this? Since we're friends,
I'll be in charge of providing you tissues from now on.
I don't want it.
I will continue to do my design.
Since I have no man, I can still design and I think that's enough.
Next, I'll do my very best to complete my social obligations.
Then, I'll dedicate myself to managing my small shop.
A heartbroken person chasing her dreams is only effective for about 24 hours.
So, I have to turn my grief into physical labor.
Okay.
My best wishes for this soon to be strong woman in the fashion world to become
extremely strong, sunny days with no clouds, breezes that don't stop.
Thank you.
Tomorrow, don't curse me for this goodness.
Are you hiding some coming evil from me?
Ask your supervisor.
There are no stars tonight.
Listen to me. The responsibility here isn't sorting or typing files.
These are yours.
Now there are 10 bathrooms in this building.
And I want you to clean them tidily and nicely every hour.
Here is your cleaning schedule.
I have a question.
How about the men's room?
Of course. What do you think? You want me to do this one?
No.
I will not follow you but that will.
You better watch out and don't be lazy.
Because I will always know what you are doing. Follow me.
All of these and each section of floor. You also have to clean.
Is that clear?
Clear.
Okay.
[Closed]
Is anybody here?
I'm ready to clean.
Hi.
[Closed]
These are some supplies for you.
♫ Legend has it that humans long ago ♫
♫ Lived in the darkness far underground ♫
♫ They dispatched the dainty hummingbird ♫
♫ To find the tunnel leading to the light ♫
♫ Flying over the islands one by one ♫
♫ Really wanting a place to stop and rest ♫
♫ Creating dreams one by one ♫
♫ Will there be someone who will hear it? ♫
♫ The dream of finding the sun, overestimating myself to say ♫
♫ I have an idea of becoming the sun ♫
♫ Sometimes I am lonely, I can barely carry the burden ♫
♫ The words are stuck in my throat with no one to tell ♫
♫ What exactly are we pursuing? ♫
♫ Why do we continuously, unceasingly push forward? ♫
Hey. It's Charles calling.
I just wanted to act if I can pay in installments for the council fee.
Thanks. Get back to me when you can.
Didn't think that you know how to comfort someone.
Does this count as comfort? This should be.
Be what?
Your free therapy is over.
If you want me to continue talk to you, then you'll have to pay.
Okay. Let's talk about something that's worth $5.
Are you paying by cash or card?
[Bill for lawyer fees]
Try to find some time to meet me at noon. I have something to give you.
In there, over half is time you frittered away.
Data. Use data to prove it.
- That day at the market, didn't you buy jeans? - Just in passing.
In passing? To buy a pair of pant, you tried on four pairs and used half an hour of my time. You call that 'in passing'?
I did indeed buy the pants in passing.
But my objective was checking out your abilities as a designer.
The most important element in plagiarizing are the details.
I wanted to see with two identical patterns,
if you really see the difference in those tiny details.
Don't question my professionalism.
I am your lawyer. I have to understand you more than anyone.
That's the only way I can represent you in court.
Every detail in a court can be used by the opposing lawyers to attack our weak points.
Don't talk to me about that stuff, okay?
That day at the coffee shop, I paid for the coffee.
You're not even embarrassed to charge me for that again?
If it wasn't for getting to understand you, I wouldn't have drank that coffee.
That day, we talked about the dress that you copied out of adoration.
Didn't I use that in court?
Then pay for your own coffee.
Then pay for that cup of coffee on your own.
I won't drink it then.
You already ordered.
Look. Do you plan to pay online or in cash?
Over 30,000 ¥. I know that you can't come up with so much money at one time.
Let me give you an idea.
Pay in installments.
You won't be short even a penny of the interest.
- Then, we... - In addition, I'll write you an IOU.
Excuse me. Could I take a picture of you?
Yeah. Of course. thank you.
1,2,3
Okay. Thank you.
Hold on.
Good afternoon sir.
You are late.
I'm not late. It's 1 o'clock.
You have been late for 30 seconds.
30 seconds?
It's not just about being 30 seconds late. It's about your attitude.
Unfortunately, what you have done today doesn't count.
I hope that you will not be late again tomorrow.
Do you understand?
Xiaoduo.
Where did you go?
Why are our store's accounts all out here?
The apology has been published.
This is the first time I've seen "Sheng Xia" on the newspapers here.
And it's in both Chinese and English.
On top of that, the four orders from Alice have all been canceled.
Could we say that I have gotten a little fame?
Nothing to be done about it. I went to a few markets.
Everyone knows about Sheng Xia's workshop.
Publicity is very effective.
Why did you go to the markets?
First, put down that nutrient drink and listen to me.
You've already looked at these accounts.
If it weren't for Kaven's support, we would have deficits every month.
So, now, did he love you or harm you?
From now on, I think it will be very difficult for you to sustain this store on your own.
Xiaoduo. I still have you.
I went to the markets today...to rent a stall.
After all, the rent here really is too expensive.
There is no point to open a shop here.
No way.
This isn't a matter of your agreeing or not. We just can't advance anymore.
Xiaoduo, you have to believe me.
I can make our store good.
I've been spent a lot of time, walking the main streets checking things out these last few days.
I've decided. I want to take part of my designs and adjust them a little, then make my style a little more pointed. I could...
Do you know understand? It's not a design problem.
A young girl like you doesn't have the actual strength or background for that. No one will disseminate or sensationalize it.
How can you get a foothold?
Xiaoduo, regarding dissemination, I want to strengthen it a little.
Look at this. In the next quarter, there are some competitions and shows. I've written them all down here.
Everyone in the industry go down this road. Why would you get the prizes?
Maybe this path is something only one person can walk down.
It means that this path isn't wrong.
Fine. Since you're going to stick with it, I won't accompany you.
I went to the markets today to promote your clothing.
I didn't make a single sale.
However, someone asked me to be their salesman.
Xiaoduo, don't be that way. How can you be a salesman?
This shop can't sustain both of us.
Xiaoduo.
Before I wanted to do it with you
because we were the same.
We were both caught up in the beautiful illusion created by Kaven.
Then, I thought that even if we didn't make it big in fashion,
Opening a store is pretty cool.
But now Steven broke that dream.
This newspaper has put the reality in front of our eyes.
Once we get past this, it will get better.
I know that you won't leave me here alone.
Right?
Sheng Xia, if I try to persuade you anymore, you'll start looking down on me.
I will move out tomorrow and continue to find work. Xiaoduo.
You must know that I'm not the type to act impetuously.
Maybe with this collapse, my salary can help you sustain this a little longer.
Xiaoduo.
I'll go clean up.
Xiaoduo.
Used to someone accompanying you
So, in such a big city, you don't feel lonely.
You're accustomed to someone caring about you.
So when you feel bad, that won't last long.
I'm sorry Sheng Xia.
If I don't force you, you won't wake up.
When, in a single day, the place beside you is empty,
you finally understand the challenges that come with facing life alone.
Even if you pretend to be strong,
you still fell very alone.
Where is my phone?
Xiaoduo.
Mrs. An?
Mrs. An, how is it that you have time to come here today?
Sheng Xia, how did such a young girl achieve something like this?
At first, I saw you as very honest and rented this place to you.
Now you've fallen. You've begun to steal.
Stealing?
Plagiarism. Isn't plagiarism stealing?
You have to have grounds to say that. It's not like you think.
Okay. You stealing or not has nothing to do with me.
I will notify you now.
I won't rent this place to you.
Why?
Why? Your reputation has been sullied.
You're ruining the feng shui of my place.
No way. What does a stained reputation have to do with the fengshui of this place?
And what the newspaper said is a misunderstanding.
- What blot is there on my reputation? - Nonsense!
Let me tell you. This house was sent to me.
If I want to rent it to you, I'll rent.
If I don't want to rent it to you, I won't.
No.
An auntie. We have a contract.
Until right now, I haven't given you one cent less than you've asked.
What does the rent contract count as?
I can return the rent to you.
3 days. If you won't move in 3 days.
I have the right to take all of your stuff and throw it out.
But 3 days. How is it possible?-
- Auntie An... - Out of my way.
Hi. Mrs. Sheng Xia, we were supposed to meet at 3:00 for the proposal and you are now late.
Yes. I will be there immediately.
We heard about you copying Steven's work. We don't think it is necessary for us to work with anyone with a bad reputation.
Okay.
Nothing is going smoothly. I'm just a joke.
Xu Tian, how is my case going?
Well you don't have to take it to court and you can still get your compensation.
That's a good idea.
Well of course. More money no problems.
That's great.
But you have to guarantee that you didn't drink that day.
I promise in the name of God, I didn't.
You aren't even a Christian. God won't care about you.
You are right. Then I will swear in the name of love.
If I were drunk that day, I will never get to see Ying Fei.
I believe you since you swear.
Okay. I'm going to see my prince charming.
Wait a second.
Take this to Ying Fei.
Are you sure? Yeah. Of course.
But I don't know what to say.
Just drink the tea and let the tea do the talking.
Xu Tian, you are so smart.
I'll get going. Good luck.
Hello? Hello? Can you come pick up your friend?
What? This is City bar.
A girl named Sheng Xia, she's drunk.
