Background / History

Tang Yao is revealed to Tang Chen after he sees a photograph of a child resembling himself from five years earlier. She immediately mistakes him for her father, and Shen Qingyan confirms his paternity through a DNA test. Although Shen Qingyan initially leaves with Tang Yao without engaging Tang Chen, the child’s curiosity and affection establish the beginning of their reunion 2.

Tang Yao later recognizes Tang Chen as her father, tearfully reunites with him, and forgives him for returning late. They spend the day together at an amusement park, beginning a close father-daughter relationship 5.

She suffers bullying at her former kindergarten after Chen Hao calls her a child without a father. Though frightened and upset, she had defended herself after he insulted Tang Chen. Tang Yao eventually tells her father what happened, allowing Tang Chen and Shen Qingyan to intervene; Tang Chen transfers her to Yinghong International Bilingual Kindergarten, where she quickly makes friends 26 27 31 34 35.

Tang Yao later assists Tang Chen’s public confession to Shen Qingyan by presenting him with roses during the fireworks and drone-light-show event. She subsequently joins her parents onstage during their ring-exchange ceremony, where the three embrace and cry together 62 205.
