She has a good impression of Yu Haitao (played by Zheng Junli) from the publishing company. There is a doctor in the school, Dr. Wang (played by Wang Naidong), who is married but often harasses Wei Ming. Wei Ming has already seen through Dr. Wang's personality. Wei Ming's sister brought Wei Ming's daughter to Shanghai because of financial difficulties. The three people's lives were very difficult, but at this time Dr. Wang used a trick to get Wei Ming fired. When his daughter falls ill, Wei Ming has no choice but to betray himself, only to find that the person who possesses her is Dr. Wang. The sister saved Wei Ming from committing suicide, but her daughter died young. Tabloid reporter Qi Weide once had a grudge against Wei Ming. He published the news of Wei Ming's suicide in the newspaper. Wei Ming saw the newspaper and knew that her novel was published. This inspired her to have the courage to live, but in the end she closed her eyes unwillingly.
