The episode opens with intense conflict. After achieving success, husband Gu Heng, married for thirty years, forces his wife Zhao Shuran, who has dedicated her life to the family, to divorce him, bringing along his mistress Li Qing. Zhao Shuran is filled with grief and anger, recounting her years of sacrifice, only to be met with ruthless humiliation and mockery from Gu Heng and Li Qing. Gu Heng threatens Zhao Shuran with money and violence to sign the divorce papers, while Li Qing smugly boasts about her illegitimate child with Gu Heng who is about to get engaged to the richest man's daughter. As she is forced to sign, Zhao Shuran fights back and tears up the agreement. Finally, Li Qing points to a family photo and viciously accuses Zhao Shuran, questioning whose bastard child is in the picture, leaving a huge cliffhanger.
