Jiang Qian-Fan finds out his former girlfriend, Elise Quentin (played by Xu Xia-Wen), kept information about the competition which he is invited to be a mentor to one of the contestants from him because of his condition.

Jiang Qian-Fan loses his sight due to overdosing of a medication taken to counteract a slow acting poison his former girlfriend, Elise, gave to him in an effort to make him rely on her & become a couple again.
