### Recovering of Happiness and Future

As an artist, she had deemed GuanTing as "responsible" for shattering her career's future. She becomes very intolerant towards TianYu's unsevered ties with LuoFamily and believed that she has given him plentiful patience in their relationship after the separation with WenYan. She was cold-hearted and cunning in her words when approaching the arrogance attitude of GuanTing. Despite wanting to seek revenge against the latter, she retained her conscience as her motives were only to agitate GuanTing by ruining HuiLin's marriage with TianYu. She was devastated and clearly resented him for taking her hatred further and voluntarily hurt the lives of LuoFamily and understood that TianYu had favored his personal pride and Dora instead of considering her feelings.

"*Once I knew about your marriage and intended to exit, but you kept coming to pesteurize me, deceived me with your lies, leaving my entire self full of wounds and caused my future to be shattered apart. This was your "love", love constructed through your lies? Zhao TianYu, you're really selfish, how could you be so selfish?!*"

Because of my fragility and hesitant, for something that I deemed as love but ended up harming those that truly loved me. But that Zhao TianYu that claimed about loving me, has kept hurting those around me and even at the last moments, he selfishly insisted on targeting my sister and brother-in-law and only for me to remember him for an entire lifetime. I felt very naive after coming to think about it again. I want to see him, there must be an ending between me and Zhao TianYu.*"

―episode 266, JiaXiu to WeiKai.

During that time, JiaXiu received confrontation from LiLin and YanXi for her unacceptable actions, where the latter invited BaoNa in an attempt to safeguard the marriage between TianYu and HuiLin.

While receiving motivation from her family members to make the right decisions, JiaXiu finds herself painfully betraying the love and trust towards TianYu. Her sisters' relationship with YanXi was almost strained, as the besties of HuiLin had amorally viewed JiaXiu as the mastermind of the accidents involving LuoFamily until the reassurance from HuiLin herself changed their viewpoints. Now on better terms with Dora, JiaXiu fulfilled her promise to her by indirectly allowing HuiLin to clear her name from false criminal accusations where TianYu had deliberately blamed the former to face the law for his crimes and finally restored the kinship between Dora and HuiLin. Once forgiven the prior actions from GuanTing, JiaXiu almost sacrificed herself to protect the latter and her daughter, who later ended the marriage ties with TianYu. Despite accepting the marriage proposal from TianYu, she achieved her desire of returning QinTian-Group to LuoFamily.
