The episode opens with a somber flashback, revealing that before the female lead Chi Xi's mother (President Chi) passed away, she entrusted the male lead Ye Mu with a promise: to protect Chi Xi as she grew up, but never to develop romantic feelings for her. Back in the present, Chi Xi awakens from a nightmare and confronts Ye Mu intensely. She resists his attempts to control her life as her guardian and sarcastically accuses him of staying only for the money. Finally, Chi Xi tearfully questions Ye Mu whether her mother's death is connected to him, escalating the conflict and suspense between them to a climax.
