Love for You

Chen Yi and Miao Jing end up together. Zhang Bin, the boss behind a smuggling ring and the fire that split them up, is arrested in the last two episodes and sentenced to life in prison. Chen Yi survives the final showdown, and the couple move to Haicheng, where Miao Jing proposes to him on a rooftop. No wedding is shown. It's a happy ending.

The backstory comes out in pieces. In 2005, Zhai Fengmao, who owned the club where teenage Chen Yi worked, was under investigation for tax fraud and smuggled liquor. His partner, Zhang Bin, told him to find a scapegoat, then called Chen Yi to the company building at midnight on the night Miao Jing's exam results came out. The building burned and firefighters pulled Chen Yi out. Episode 28 reveals that the fire also killed Wenwen, the fiancée of police officer Zhou Kang'an. Afterwards Chen Yi secretly changed Miao Jing's university application, told her coldly that they "aren't the same kind of people", and pushed her off to university in Haicheng. He spent the missing years abroad, in a country the drama calls Jinguo, fighting in boxing matches. Baidu Baike's character profile says he spent six years working undercover for the police against Zhang Bin. The episode summaries only show him passing information to Zhou in 2011.

Miao Jing's secret comes out in episode 17. She's an auditor with Mingtong Audit, sent to audit Haoyun Logistics, which Zhang Bin secretly owns. Chen Yi lets Zhang Bin make him Haoyun's project head so he can keep her safe, while she and Cen Ye, her boss and ex-boyfriend, dig through the books. They find that Haoyun swaps license plates between identical trucks to slip past inspections. In episode 29 they find what the trucks carry: banned goods hidden inside plush toys whose barcodes start with 7, a cargo hazardous enough to make the drivers sick. Along the way Chen Yi's billiard hall is burned down by one of those drivers, and Miao Jing's mother, Wei Mingzhen, comes back into her life and dies of cancer in episode 26.

In episode 30 Zhang Bin praises Chen Yi in front of the whole company and exposes his years in Jinguo to isolate him. Chen Yi quietly passes the shipment details to Zhou. In episode 31 Zhang Bin takes Chen Yi's phone and makes him drive the shipment himself. When police checkpoints close in, Zhang Bin stabs him in the thigh and forces him to lose Miao Jing, who is tailing them, and her car crashes. She calls Zhai Fengmao, who has been hiding as a delivery man since Zhang Bin pinned his own crimes on him. At a dockside warehouse Zhang Bin tortures Chen Yi. Miao Jing knocks the knife away, but she's tied up and pushed off a ledge, and Chen Yi holds her rope. Zhai attacks Zhang Bin with a cleaver, and the police arrest them both.

Episode 32 jumps ahead a few months. Chen Yi has recovered. Zhang Bin gets life in prison for smuggling banned goods, arson and attempted murder. Zhai Fengmao, who the finale confirms set the 2005 fire to destroy evidence, also gets life, and Haoyun manager Tao Jiang gets eight years. Outside the court Zhou salutes the national emblem and finally lets Wenwen go. Miao Jing is promoted at Mingtong's Haicheng office and the couple move there. Chen Yi admits he came to watch her secretly several times while she was at university, and stayed away because his life was too dangerous. He opens a bigger billiard hall in Haicheng with Bo Zai. In the last scene, on a rooftop like the one they talked on as teenagers, Miao Jing asks him to be her husband. He kisses her as fireworks go off.
