The episode opens with a tense scene in the bedroom between the female lead, Gu Yanluo, and the gravely ill male lead, Qin Wuwang. She is cold in her words, while he is forceful yet frail. Later, Gu Yanluo is alone on the balcony, smoking and lost in painful memories from two years ago. At the birthday party of her adopted daughter, Lin Yuyun, Gu Yanluo's father, Gu Hongying, publicly declares Lin Yuyun his "precious daughter," while his biological daughter, Gu Yanluo, is treated as an imbecile and ignored, revealing the root of her trauma of abandonment by her family. The memories end, and the distressed Gu Yanluo returns to the bedroom and lies down beside Qin Wuwang. After waking up, Qin Wuwang, despite his harsh words, notices her icy body and pulls her into an embrace for warmth, revealing a sliver of unexpected tenderness in their complex relationship.
