The episode opens with intense conflict. Xu Fanxing's beloved bracelet, a memento from her mother, is deliberately smashed by her cousin Xu Jiaojiao. To make matters worse, her husband, Shen Xingchen, not only fails to defend her but instead sides with Xu Jiaojiao and resorts to violence against her. Through flashbacks and inner monologues, the root of this tragedy is revealed: seven years ago, Xu Fanxing was slapped deaf by her father, Xu Mingyuan. This caused her to be unable to hear Shen Xingchen's cries for help during a fire. After saving him, she fainted, and Xu Jiaojiao took credit for her rescue. Years of misunderstanding and torment from Shen Xingchen, coupled with her father's betrayal, finally break Xu Fanxing's spirit. She resolves to abandon this marriage and family, initiating the countdown to her divorce.
