Story Guide
Episode 1
Li Sheng has been married to Lu Yanzhou for three years, and nobody at Yunyi Airlines knows it. On the surface they're just colleagues—she's his flight attendant supervisor, he's the captain and company president. Behind closed doors, everything is different.
Then Lu Yanzhou drops a cold order: the doctor says to hold back, and starting tomorrow she's off his flight schedule. Go see a doctor, get her body ready—Grandfather is waiting to hold a grandchild. Meanwhile, the crew gossips about Lin Jianwei's return, calling her Lu Yanzhou's real match. Li Sheng has always known there was someone in his heart. She just never knew it was her own half-sister.
Episode 2
Li Sheng tries to switch off Flight 0312, and she quietly decides that if this marriage is only his last resort, she'll set him free.
But mid-flight, the plane hits severe convective turbulence and starts dropping. Panic erupts in the cabin—a passenger insists they're going to crash, demanding a parachute, while another begs to get home before his wife gives birth. Li Sheng takes charge as flight attendant supervisor, telling everyone the crew trains every day for exactly this, and asks them to stay calm and trust the team. It's her competence under pressure, not her marriage, that keeps everyone steady.
Episode 3
A stranger's call comes in—something about a name that only brings trouble. Li Sheng steps forward as the supervisor of Flight 0312 and offers to help.
The plane lands safely. She apologizes to the passengers on behalf of the crew and thanks them for flying Yunyi Airlines. On the ground, the attention shifts fast: Lu Yanzhou arrives to a stir, and beside him is Lin Jianwei, the new safety supervisor who reportedly turned down a high-paying job abroad for him. People call them a perfect match. Someone nudges Li Sheng to call her husband and report she's safe—and she admits she forgot to tell him she's fine.
Episode 4
Li Sheng's handling of the crisis earns her triple year-end bonus, but Lin Jianwei is the one handing out the praise—and the subtle jabs. Li Sheng pushes back: Lin Jianwei is just the safety supervisor, so why is she managing a flight attendant supervisor's rewards?
Lin Jianwei claims she's only speaking for Lu Yanzhou, whose throat is bothering him. Then comes the sting—after three years, Li Sheng still has no public place in Lu Yanzhou's life, nothing but a name. Li Sheng calls herself what she believes she is: a childbearing tool forced on him by Grandfather. And when a one-hundred-million offer comes in, she turns it down flat.
Episode 5
A one-hundred-million job gets refused, and Li Sheng's appetite and stomach have been off—she doesn't feel like taking any work. She asks a favor instead of seeing a doctor.
Lu Yanzhou learns that the top engineer rejected Yunyi Airlines' invitation. The reason? Word is the engineer only follows money. So he doubles it—two hundred million, because a top expert is worth the price. His team moves to contact the engineer's people. Meanwhile, ugly rumors about Lu Yanzhou and his three-year marriage start spreading, mocking him as a husband who can't produce an heir.
Episode 6
The mockery outside the company building traces back to Li Sheng—she's the one who sent those people. Lu Yanzhou confronts her, accusing her of being shameless and staging a scene just to force him to publicly admit she's his wife.
Li Sheng fires back that she doesn't want the title at all. She's endured three years and is done. She reminds him of the deal: three years ago her family went bankrupt, Grandfather paid the debt, and their agreement says they can divorce only after she bears an heir. When Lu Yanzhou taunts that she's the one who won't have a child, she throws it back at him—maybe he's the problem.
Episode 7
Grandfather summons them to the old house for dinner, and Li Sheng's aunt wastes no time needling her—can't even hold a man's heart, useless. The aunt compares her unfavorably to Lin Jianwei, and Li Sheng coolly reminds her to worry about the ten-billion hole she dug doing business with Lin Jianwei.
At the table, Lu Yanzhou warns her to hide their fight from Grandfather. When seafood appears, Li Sheng points out she's allergic—seafood is Lin Jianwei's favorite. Then the family doctor is called over, and the question lands: is she pregnant?
Episode 8
The doctor confirms it: Li Sheng is two months pregnant. Grandfather is overjoyed, calling his future great-grandchild precious, and orders the seafood swapped for something Li Sheng likes. He warns Lu Yanzhou that if Li Sheng comes to any harm, he'll hold him responsible.
Lu Yanzhou tells her to rest, and she twists the knife—she'll voluntarily divorce him, freeing him to marry Lin Jianwei, the star-crossed pair kept apart. He protests that Lin Jianwei is only a work partner. Then Lin Jianwei appears, saying she came to pick him up for a meeting with the engineer's agent. Li Sheng says flatly: the engineer will never take Yunyi Airlines' job.
Episode 9
Li Sheng's friend is furious at how badly Lu Yanzhou treats her—even twenty billion wouldn't be worth taking his job, so let Yunyi Airlines go bankrupt. She insists Li Sheng has already repaid whatever she owed Grandfather and Lu Yanzhou.
To cheer her up, the friend lines up pilots, flight attendants, and engineers—take your pick, free delivery. Then Ou Yanqing, president of Feiyue Airlines, shows up and recognizes Li Sheng. He asks if she's planning to marry, and offers himself. Li Sheng says she's pregnant with another man's child. He doesn't mind—he can afford it. He's smitten and proposes.
Episode 10
Ou Yanqing isn't joking—he says they can go register their marriage right now. Onlookers are stunned that a wealthy young airline president would fall for a flight attendant, and the crowd starts chanting for Li Sheng to say yes.
She tells him to get up, but he refuses until she agrees. When someone scoffs that a single bouquet of roses is a cheap proposal, Ou Yanqing raises the stakes: if Li Sheng agrees, he'll hand over fifty percent of Feiyue Airlines' shares plus two billion in cash as a betrothal gift. The crowd cheers that he's far more generous than certain stingy men. Now Li Sheng has a real choice in front of her.
Will Li Sheng walk away from three cold years and take the offer, or does Lu Yanzhou finally realize who he's about to lose? Hit play and find out.
