Let's Fall in Love Again

Episode 1

Seven years ago, Nina Wright left Hayes Peyton. Back then she was the campus outcast, and their three-year love stayed hidden. Now she's a slim, successful designer—and when she brings her daughter Sui Sui in for a checkup, the cardiac surgeon who examines the girl is Hayes himself. He doesn't seem to know her. Then Sui Sui asks the question Nina dreads: "Mom, is the doctor who treated me today my dad?" Nina's careful new life is already cracking.

Episode 2

Nina shuts the question down fast, telling Sui Sui that her father is Chen Shao'an—the man she married and divorced in a flash two years ago so the girl could enroll in kindergarten and he could answer to his sick father. Sui Sui protests that the doctor looks like the man in Mommy's wallet, but Nina insists it's just a resemblance, then steers her home to cook for Grandmother. Meanwhile, classmates mock the "fat girl" from Hayes's past, unaware Nina is standing right there listening. She remembers exactly who she used to be—and why.

Episode 3

At work, Nina's design draft gets rejected, and she threatens to quit over it. Talk turns to the upcoming class reunion, and Nina quietly doubts anyone will recognize her now. At the reunion, old classmates trade cruel memories of "that fat girl" who ran the 800 meters and wheezed like a pig. Then someone drops a bombshell: they heard she died. The gossip spreads fast, and Hayes's name keeps surfacing alongside hers. Nina stays silent in the crowd—until she realizes just how close the past is standing to her.

Episode 4

The rumor hardens: a classmate claims she saw the "fat girl" six years ago, heavily pregnant, pale and sick, visiting the hospital at night for what looked like a tumor. Others insist Hayes could never have wanted someone like her. Then the group spots Nina—and Hayes walks in. Someone calls her name. The room goes quiet as the two of them lock eyes across the reunion. Seven years of distance collapse in a single moment, and Nina's cover is gone. There's nowhere left to hide.

Episode 5

Later, Nina notices Hayes still wears the same brand of cufflinks he always did. She tells him flatly that they have no relationship now and never should again. At home, Grandmother urges her to stop delaying Sui Sui's heart surgery and offers money; Nina insists her upcoming project bonus will cover it. Meanwhile, Hayes's mother pushes him to meet Ling Shixuan, the elegant daughter of a business family. Hayes refuses, saying he isn't interested. But his mother has no idea who he's really thinking about.

Episode 6

Hayes digs into Nina's disappearance, asking around and learning even her closest friends lost touch with her years ago. He's stung that she never came back for him. When they finally confront each other, the old wound spills out: he accuses her of packing up his things and ending their relationship without a word, as if a month apart meant nothing. Nina pushes back, and neither admits the truth—that someone once forced her hand with a threat.

Episode 7

A scare with Sui Sui brings Nina and Hayes together again. After a minor accident, Hayes insists on checking the girl himself, warning that internal injuries can be far worse than they look. A colleague teases him about how much Sui Sui resembles him, and soon the hospital is buzzing: the aloof Dr. Peyton, they joke, must like them plump, curvy, and fair-skinned. Nina deflects every question about their history. Hayes, meanwhile, keeps circling the same suspicion—that this child is his.

Episode 8

Sui Sui's knee turns out to be minor, and Hayes hands Nina his card, offering to help anytime. Then he asks the question that stops her cold: haven't they met before? Nina claims he simply sees too many patients—she once brought her daughter to his clinic. But he means something older than that. Later, Sui Sui mentions her dog is still in the car of "the doctor who looks like Daddy." When Nina calls Hayes about it, a woman's voice answers, and Nina's stomach drops.

Episode 9

A late-night call turns awkward when another woman answers Hayes's phone, and Nina hears enough to assume the worst. She keeps it businesslike, asking only about her daughter's dog, and they agree to meet next week. A woman on the line needles him about the "gentle-voiced" female patient and pushes him to date—mentioning Ling Shixuan again. He waves it off, then lets slip his type: tall, curvy, fair-skinned, and not too thin. It's a description that sounds suspiciously like the girl he once knew.

Episode 10

At the office, rumors fly that Director Ling is dating someone from a powerful family, and Nina gets roped into delivering a lunch to the cardiac surgery department on Ling's behalf. The gift is meant for Ling's supposed boyfriend—Hayes. When Nina hands it over, Hayes says flatly that he has no idea he has a girlfriend. Ling is his boss, nothing more. The woman pursuing Hayes is Nina's own superior, and everyone at work believes they're a couple.

Will Nina and Hayes finally say what's really between them—or will the people around them keep writing the story for them? Keep watching to find out.
