We provide details of the study of $\psi(3770)$ non-$D\bar D$ decays into $VP$, where $V$ and $P$ denote light vector meson and pseudoscalar meson, respectively. We find that the electromagnetic (EM) interaction plays little role in these processes, while the strong interaction dominates. The strong interaction can be separated into two parts, i.e. the short-distance part probing the wave function at origin and the long-distance part reflecting the soft gluon exchanged dynamics. The long-distance part is thus described by the intermediate charmed meson loops. We show that the transition of $\psi(3770)\to VP$ can be related to $\psi(3686)\to VP$ such that the parameters in our model can be constrained by comparing the different parts in $\psi(3770)\to VP$ to those in $\psi(3686)\to VP$. Our quantitative results confirm the findings of [Zhang {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 172001 (2009)] that the OZI-rule-evading long-distance strong interaction via the IML plays an important role in $\psi(3770)$ decays, and could be a key towards a full understanding of the mysterious $\psi(3770)$ non-$D\bar{D}$ decay mechanism.
