It can't be said that several women are vying to grab Xu Zhimo's diary, but Lin must grab it. After Xu Zhimo's death, Lin Yinhui let go of her reserve and let her and Xu Zhimo's good friend Hu Shi cheat Xu Zhimo out of his Cambridge Diary in Ling Shuhua and burn it. This may be because she doesn't want her past with Xu Zhimo to be leaked.

As a modern poet, Xu Zhimo has the habit of keeping a diary like most literati, so some things about Lin should be recorded in Xu Zhimo's diary, which makes Lin have to get Xu Zhimo's diary. Cambridge Diary was written by Xu Zhimo when he was studying in England. It records Xu Zhimo's life in Britain, and may have a record of his acquaintance with Lin. After the love affair between Xu Zhimo and Lin failed, Xu Zhimo returned to China to marry Lu Xiaoman. After they got married, because it was not convenient for Lu Xiaoman to check the contents of the diary, Xu Zhimo gave the "treasure chest" containing the diary to his friend Ling Shuhua for safekeeping. When Lin Yin Hui knew that the Cambridge Diary needed to be given to its new owner, Lu Xiaoman, after Xu Zhimo's plane crash, he joined the struggle for the diary.

Lin Yinhui knew that Cambridge Diary was kept by Ling Shuhua. Lin Yinhui couldn't sit still when he learned that Ling Shuhua was going to return the book to Lu Xiaoman, probably because he didn't want his past experience to be exposed to the public. Lin called Hu Shi, who cheated his diary on the grounds of literary creation and burned it quickly. Perhaps because Ling Shuhua didn't want Lu Xiaoman to know something about Lin Yinhui and Xu Zhimo, Ling Shuhua hid the two most important diaries in Cambridge, and then Lin Yinhui forced Ling Shuhua to hand them over and destroyed them after reading them.

Lin is eager to destroy Cambridge Diary, which makes people suspect that there may be too many records in the diary that Lin doesn't want people to know, so Lin will compete with Lu Xiaoman for the diary.
