Hanrong, inspired by Xianhong's powerful speech back in high school, becomes his personal assistant. Hanrong secretly harbours a long-term affection for Xianhong but is a witness to Xianhong's romantic entanglements, including the one with Xiaowen.

Xianhong meets Lilian, a young woman who has just returned to Taipei after living in New York City. Xianhong sets up a social media account to impress Lilian, and Hanrong grows suspicious of Lilian's intentions.

Lilian reunites with college friends at a welcome party. As friends reminisce about the old days, she thinks about Jay, her college crush who quit school to pursue a deep-sea fishing career.

A heated debate between Xianhong and Ax at Lilian's college reunion goes viral online. Backlash erupts over an edited interview of Xianhong, dragging him into a major PR crisis, which becomes a broader public discussion on the generational conflict.

Xianhong is hit by a series of setbacks, both in his professional and personal life. However, through it all, Lilian stands by him, and even helps him steer public opinion through social media.

As the generational debate fades, Xianhong is hailed as a youth advocate. Later, Xianhong makes a drastic decision and asks Lilian to start over with him in Shanghai.
