Your boyfriend's side chick moves in. Plot twist: she might be your only friend.
Daiping hates Haili. Haili came out of nowhere into her apartment, her life, and her romising relationship with Chen Jin and she bullies Daiping mercilessly. Then one day, Chen Jin disappears, leaving Daiping pregnant again. Haili has also experienced many difficulties in her life, and might be the right person to help Daping in these troubled times. Although her mocking attitude doesn't change, there's still a chance for a bond to form between these two women's hearts.
