Ye Qiu gets inspiration for her designs, meeting fashion master Jiang Lifan who offers her guidance. Unbeknownst to Ye Qiu, Li Zhihua steals her drafts and passes them off as her own, winning an international award. Li Si Yue flaunts her cousin's supposed victory to Ye Qiu, who is shocked and determined to uncover the truth.

Ye Qiu burst into Li Zhihua’s studio, her face full of anger as she looked at her.

"Why are you here at this time?" Li Zhihua seemed unaware, "What’s happened? You don’t seem to be in a good mood."

"You’re asking me what’s wrong?" Ye Qiu said, suppressing her anger, then she threw a magazine in front of her, "Take a look at this yourself!"

Li Zhihua glanced at it sideways and laughed, "Ah, my award-winning feature, why are you so angry?"

"Shouldn’t I be angry?" Ye Qiu said, holding back her voice, "This is my design, why are you the award recipient?"

Li Si Yue, Xia Meng, and Yu You walked in just in time to hear this, the three of them looking at each other in shock.

Li Zhihua looked at Ye Qiu and smiled, "You must be confused from the holiday; this is my design, what makes you say it’s yours? Ye Qiu, I admit you’re talented, but to win internationally, you still need more polish."

"You’re lying, these designs were drawn by me! You’re plagiarizing, you’re stealing my ideas!" Ye Qiu yelled, her face turning red with anger, looking ready to explode.

Li Zhihua’s expression also turned cold at this moment, and she said seriously, "Ye Qiu, you don’t actually think that just because you saw my designs once, they become yours, do you? You’re so young and yet so out of line? I don’t want to argue with you about today’s matter, just go back."

"Are you feeling guilty? That’s why you want to drive me away, isn’t it?"

"Ye Qiu, I’m really thinking of what’s best for you. Do you know how much it would affect you, a newly enrolled student, if news of plagiarism got out?"

"Exactly." Li Si Yue stepped in to shield her sister, looking at Ye Qiu with disdain, "I’ve never seen someone so confident about plagiarizing, just leave, or I’ll expose all your actions."

"It’s your sister who’s lying, she’s the one who stole my ideas!" Ye Qiu said furiously, "Where are my other design drafts? I expect you to return them to me."

"Ye Qiu, what nonsense are you still spouting?" Li Zhihua said with a very disappointed look, "Didn’t I help sell your designs to major brands? Even if you’re talking nonsense, make some sense. You’re just a new student, no matter how talented you are, you couldn’t have that many projects in one semester! And the styles are so varied, who would believe it?"

"You..." Ye Qiu looked at her in shock, "You planned all this from the start, didn’t you? While having me design ordinary clothes for money, you encouraged me to create haute couture on the other. You’ve been calculating against me from the beginning."

Li Zhihua sighed, "Ye Qiu, you’ve disappointed me so much. After everything I’ve helped you with, you turn around and slander me? You claim this design is yours; do you have evidence?"

"You took all my design drafts, saying they’d be submitted for competition. There are security cameras, and they can prove everything," Ye Qiu recalled that this was Li Zhihua’s studio and turned pale.

Li Zhihua saw her like this and secretly felt triumphant. Since she planned to do this, how could she leave any evidence? Ye Qiu is talented but too naive. If it were her, she wouldn’t have come here to confront.

"Ye Qiu, if you continue making trouble here, I’ll call the police," Li Si Yue threatened, "You lack any capability yet you dream up fantasies. Why don’t you say Jian Lifan is your teacher too?"

Ye Qiu clenched her fists, her eyes red, "I won’t give up on this. I will prove that this is your plagiarism of my work."

"Since you are so unapologetic, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Regarding your slander against me, I will have a proper talk with your teachers," Li Zhihua threatened blatantly.

"Just you wait!" Ye Qiu wiped away her hatred, shoved Li Si Yue aside harshly, and left without looking back.

"This..." Xia Meng and Yu You exchanged glances, then nervously looked at Li Zhihua.

"Senior, sorry for the disturbance today, we’ll go check on Ye Qiu," Yu You said apologetically.

"It’s fine," Li Zhihua waved her hand, "Go catch up with her, before she does anything foolish."

On the way back, Xia Meng said to Yu You, "Senior is truly kind; even after Ye Qiu went too far, she still cares about Ye Qiu’s safety. What on earth happened to Ye Qiu today, did she really let it get to her head? Why go crazy claiming Senior’s design is hers? A freshman winning an international silver award?"

Yu You pondered, "It’s hard to say, let’s find Ye Qiu first."

"What’s hard to say? No matter how talented one is, can they design two different styles simultaneously? And let’s not forget she’s just a freshman, with our courses already so demanding. I just can’t believe she has such capacity," Xia Meng scoffed, clearly looking down on Ye Qiu.

Yu You didn’t respond, she actually also doubted whether Ye Qiu had enough free time to create so many designs, but Ye Qiu’s shocked expression upon seeing the magazine today didn’t seem fake, so she couldn’t make a judgment.

Ye Qiu didn’t return to her dormitory but went straight to the dean’s office. She knew Li Zhihua might have destroyed all evidence, but she still wanted to blow this matter up.

Soon this matter spread all over the school. Several deans personally went to Li Zhihua’s studio for questioning and to investigate evidence, but all results indicated that the award-winning series by Li Zhihua was completely unrelated to Ye Qiu.

The surveillance clearly showed Li Zhihua staying up late drawing the designs and comparing fabrics, and those repeatedly revised drafts could prove that they were created solely by Li Zhihua. Then everyone saw the scene where Li Zhihua showed her final drawings to Ye Qiu, and the smile on Ye Qiu’s face appeared to congratulate her.

Facing a few teachers from the dean’s office, Li Zhihua said with a sad expression, "I don’t know why Ye Qiu came early this morning to question me saying these drafts were hers. Maybe because I asked her opinion, she feels she participated in designing. I’ve always appreciated her talent, and I believe in a few more years of effort she’ll achieve my accomplishments, but there’s really no need to go this far."

The teachers felt sympathy for her, especially since she always had a good image in their eyes, so they comforted, "Rest assured, Li, we have now cleared your name. We’ll discipline her when we get back, give her a mark, and let her remember this lesson."

"Isn’t that too harsh?" Li Zhihua frowned with difficulty, "After all, she’s just a child with a bright future ahead; I don’t want to ruin her."

One of the female teachers said sternly, "Every adult should be responsible for their actions. Education first builds character, and then it teaches knowledge. Morality is the most critical in education, and we must not tolerate this case, or what would become of campus atmosphere?"
