On the same day that we crushed the ratings, I also got an invite to an award ceremony and learned ahead of time that I won for "Outstanding Impact".

Keeping my award a secret. I invited Victor to attend. Upon arrival, we ran into the president of the Film and Television Association, and I invited her to sit and chat.

As we chatted, I learned Victor had already been invited! I asked the president to keep my award a secret, but then my dress got ruined by a little boy.

Wearing a back-up dress, Victor and I went out to mingle. Award time was quickly approaching, but Victor was gone. Suddenly, there he was on stage! He presented me with my award!

Outside, I told Victor why I wore these earrings, and how I'd strived to belong by his side. I joked about giving him an award as a gift, and he gave me a "thank-you gift"...

I came to Lucien's classroom. He joked that I must have come for work again. I had to admit it was true, although not completely. Aside from looking for good materials for the next episode, I really just wanted him to go to this place with me.

The Matchmaker Temple that we were about to go to was a little mysterious, all because of a love story happened decades ago. On our way there, we discovered that the elderly lady who taught me how to make peace knots lived at the foot of the hill where the temple was...

We bought some offerings at the store by the temple. I was just about to head out when Lucien spoke...

The temple had a lot of visitors. It was about an hour later that we finished visiting every room and came to the courtyard. I put the red ribbon that the temple staff gave me up on the tree, and tied mine with Lucien's.

I tied the ribbon that I got from the Matchmaker Temple into a true lover's knot and wore it around my wrist. I told Lucien that I not only figured out how to tie the knot well, but also had some ideas for the next episode...

Lucien turned down an interview, saying that he didn't want to spend the vacation doing anything other than being with me. I was moved.

While we were drinking saki together, Lucien suddenly thought of a game he had played before. I was immediately intrigued. We started playing, and I found myself lightening up. Then Lucien told me that there was another reason he wanted to play this game with me...

The snow got lighter, so we decided to take a spring bath. But we found to our surprise that the spring here was a bit different from the ones we had been to: it didn't have planks to separate bathers. Lucien and I had to share the same pond. A subtle tension arose...

Back in the hotel room, the first thing I saw was the other gift I prepared for Lucien -- an egg-shaped cake. He said he noticed that I really cared about the whole prize thing, so he turned on his phone to check the winner list with me. I got nervous again...

The first scene Gavin and I encountered when we entered a VR game world was an intel station set up by NW in Loveland City! Seeing such a secretive place in the virtual world made me uneasy.

It was the first time we met since the "Eternal Winter" incident. Gavin's casual clothes gave me an illusion of familiarity and I was just relieved to see him safe and sound. Unexpectedly, shortly after our separation, we met again in a VR game center.

Savin and Apple Box had been plotting something in the other room for ages. Kiro dragged me along to discover their plans! It turned out that Savin wanted Kiro and Apple Box to enter a Pet Competition!

On the day of the competition, Kiro and I are playing computer games, waiting for the contest to begin. Kiro has a lot more confidence in Apple Box than Savin, who is fretting like a worried parent.

I interviewed an old teacher of Lucien's, a reclusive professor. In the course of our discussion, I found out something about Lucien's past. Professor Forrest asked me to tell Lucien that he had an old photo of his, and that he should come and collect it.

After the interview, as I was making ready to leave, a crew member hurried over to warn me it had started snowing heavily. Watching the snow fall outside, I am reminded of a meeting, several weeks ago.

The story of a thief that stole a princess for love spread throughout West City. While evading assassination attempts and the pursuit of elite troops, Lucien still led me around West City in broad daylight. He also kept probing me, trying to lower my defences.

During this tim, there was a heavy snow in West City. Seeing how novel this was to Lucien, I took him to the desert to the west of the city to appreciate the snowy desert landscape. In the heavy snow, Lucien told me all that he desires.

I took Lucien back to the palace and prepared a true wedding celebration. The day before the celebration began, Lucien came to my bed chamber in his formal clothes and told me that, greedy as he was, he wanted even more from me.

A quiet holiday begins, but little did I expect the power would go out for the entire apartment complex, just as Lucien "prophesied". Even worse, the water was cut too, so I had to go out to take care of my half-washed laundry.

In the parking lot, I ran into Pete, who was out picking up a document for Lucien. On the spur of the moment, I decided to complete the task for him. When I see Lucien, a stray remark from Pete makes me take a sudden notice of Lucien.

The heavy rain caused a huge traffic jam, but our conversation makes the time pleasant. Lucien's question puts me in deep thought, during which Lucien charges out the car and into the rain...

I both happily and anxiously bring him back to the hotel room that the academic conference arranged for him. Lucien seemed secretly happy at my anger. I quickly ran hot water and told him to shower, but apparently he "tricked" me...

Little did I expect that Gavin would be at the party too. But it seemed that he wasn't there as "Gavin," but someone else. I was relieved at seeing him. I didn't approach him lest I jeopardize his mission. And then, as I was chatting with Eason, Gavin chimed in?!

In the cramped room, Gavin and I talked about how we had missed each other. As I was about to leave, a knock came on the door. Whoever was it must be onto Gavin about his false identity. Instead of hiding as Gavin told me to, I pushed him onto the sofa to show him that we were in this together...

We managed to get the intruder to leave us alone. Gavin and I each returned to our positions and continued to do what we were supposed to do. I prayed in my heart that Gavin would get through the mission safely...

I saw some negative news related to LFG and thought Black Swan Collection was behind them, so I quickly called Victor. His response was rather indifferent, but at least he agreed to meet me!

I finally managed to escape and, luckily, met Victor when I exited the elevator! After hearing me out, he was somehow not surprised and only reprimanded me for my recklessness. Relieved, I followed him to another room and met the man just now who planned everything.

I got an urgent call from the hospital from Kiro. When I rushed to the hospital and saw him, he held my hand and told me a story.

The story about his fan made me sad. Before I could pull myself together, Kiro announced a plan. I agreed to help with the shoot, but deep down I wondered if this plan really would work.

I thought Kiro was acting on a whim, but it turned out that he had everything ready. I, the "bride", was the last piece of the puzzle.

The wedding was held at dusk. I could not see anything behind the red veil, but when I put my hand into Kiro's, I suddenly felt the gravity of this solemn ceremony.

The wedding shoot was over. Finally we now had the room to ourselves. Being slightly drunk, Kiro was more candid and, I felt closer to his warm heart.

I planned to use the red wine and sugar at hand to tease him a little, hoping it would trigger his other side. But it turned out I overestimated my ability to improvise: I not only messed up the plan, but also gave him a chance to "fight back".

Back in Loveland City, Victor took me to his house in the suburbs for a vacation. Since I couldn't find my pajamas, I used that as an excuse to borrow his skirt in an attempt to bring out his shy side again. But before I could act on my plan, I fell asleep.

Our last year's Double Seventh performance was quite a hit. Mr. Keller rounded up everyone last year to prepare a happy ending for the audience. Because of this, Gavin and I were on stage together again.

We had to shoot some stills for the new show in between rehearsals, so Gavin and I changed into traditional wedding outfits. The unusual colors and looks created a different air around us.

The photo shoot was not as easy as we thought. To satisfy the photographer's extremely high standards, eventually Gavin took a strand of my hair and tied it with his. The photographer was finally satisfied with his work, but I was blushing like a tomato and my heart was beating fast.

The performance had started. I was going to read off a letter but somehow there was nothing on the paper. Just when I was about to make a fool of myself on the stage, Gavin said my lines for me. He was always there for me when I needed him the most. There was nothing that Gavin could not fix.

Gavin led the Special Task Force to successfully solve an international case, and the municipal government gave a special award to him. However, rather than receiving the award after finishing the task, Gavin came directly to my home.

After acknowledging the story, I suggested that Gavin should organize a team building with those stouthearted team members. He thought for a moment and accepted my proposal. I excitedly booked a bar for him.

In the bar, I met the team members, who were different from usual times. Through the conversation with Eli, I knew some old stories about Gavin.

Gavin worried that I might get drunk and stopped me from drinking. However, I had already been a little drunk. I witnessed how elated Gavin was and couldn't help but give him a lot of promise when I began to recall his past.

Gavin said I needed to sober up. He took me to the lounge, and kissed me against the door. His mood seemed to fluctuate because of my words...

Our new intern Vivian was growing fast. When we worked till late evening one day, she accidentally revealed she had a crush on someone out of her reach, Just then, I received a call from Victor.

Victor had accepted an invitation to shoot a short film about wedding traditions in an old town in the south. I was so surprised that I did not realize until much later that he was going to bring me along.

After we finished filming, I went to the hotel with Victor. When we discussed the theme of the film, my interpretation was people subconsciously idolize those who they deeply love, In reality, I was no exception. However, Victor responded in a different way.

On a rare day off, Kiro and I took Apple Box to the pet store. After his new cute look came out, we both felt he should meet new friends.

Apple Box ran into his dog friend when we arrived in the nearby pet park, so he was already a star in the neighborhood even without our help.

Shortly after we found a place to sit to watch Apple Box playing with his friends, a dog fight broke out on the lawn, and Apple Box rose to the occasion like a superhero, who really deserved an extra can when we got home.

Apple Box got himself all dirty again because of this episode, so we decided to bathe him at home, who was surprisingly uncooperative and splashed us all over with water. The three of us, a drenched family...

After everything settled down, I found a magazine that did an interview on Kiro and was totally absorbed in it when Kiro crept behind me and slyly suggested a personal interview that would help me know him better.
