Chen Jiahui, a well-known art curator in Macau, is renowned for her unique approach to love and work. Though her ex-boyfriend often sends her flowers in an attempt to rekindle their relationship, Chen graciously accepts them, not out of romantic intent but to avoid waste.
Jiahui faces a setback when artist Marlena rejects her proposal, citing a lack of understanding of the creator’s perspective. Despite her disappointment, Jiahui’s friend Yvonne secures her a second chance, urging her to delve deeper into the meaning behind each artwork. The potential success of the Asian exhibition in Macau could attract significant collaborations.
Later, Jiahui comforts her friend Isabella, who is struggling post-breakup. With Jiahui’s encouragement, Isabella regains composure, though Jiahui ultimately steps in to resolve work-related issues with her expertise.
Meanwhile, Xu Junle accompanies Mai Youge on her location scouting. What he expects to be a leisurely outing turns into a high-energy, non-stop exploration of Macau’s landmarks. On the other hand, Han Junhao struggles on the first day of his team training. A minor mistake in brake disc adjustments disrupts the session, prompting the team leader to encourage Junhao to overcome his lingering doubts from past failures.
Workplace Tensions and New Connections
At Star Harbour Hotel, staff member Shaohui requests two hours off to attend his grandfather’s 80th birthday celebration. PR manager Wu Kaitong, upset by the disruption to her department’s plans, denies his request and threatens to penalize his performance record. Shaohui accuses Wu of being cold-hearted, highlighting the importance of balancing work and family—a sentiment that deeply unsettles Wu.
Junle continues to accompany Youge throughout the day, sharing insights about Macau’s architecture and treating her to local delicacies. Over dinner, Youge opens up about her struggles at work and in life, earning Junle’s sympathy and his promise to take her out for more culinary adventures. Afterward, Junle snaps a candid photo of Youge’s silhouette and accidentally sends it to her, sparking a subtle shift in her feelings.
Han Junhao’s Intrigue
At a bar, Junhao recognizes Chen Jiahui as the mysterious rider he encountered earlier. His team manager, Charles, informs him that sponsors are considering his rival, Tang Ben Douzhen, as the new brand ambassador. To improve his public image, Charles advises Junhao to bring a girlfriend to the sponsor’s event, hinting that his bachelor status fuels negative rumors. Distracted, Junhao’s gaze remains fixed on Jiahui.
Later that night, Junhao approaches Jiahui outside the bar as she strikes a match. Curious about her actions, Junhao learns she is merely enjoying the moment’s ambiance. Before leaving, Jiahui gives him the matchbox, and through her taxi mirror, she smiles at the sight of Junhao mimicking her gesture.
The next morning, Jiahui dismisses another bouquet from her ex-boyfriend, reflecting on relationships and remarking that some men are suited to be boyfriends but not husbands. Meanwhile, Junhao’s teammates encourage him to express his feelings if he finds someone he truly likes.
