This episode tells how Xie Yunwang, with the help of his mother, Old Madam Xie, and his mistress Lin Wan'er, staged a "fake death" to embezzle his legal wife Lu Ning'an's dowry and the Duke's mansion's property. Lu Ning'an had long seen through the plot. At the mourning hall, under the guise of "excessive grief," she unleashed a violent onslaught on the Xie Yunwang in the coffin, beating him until his nose was bruised and bleeding profusely. Faced with Old Madam Xie's accusations and the obstruction of the Xie clan elder, Lu Ning'an forcibly took back the authority to handle the funeral arrangements, citing "deep affection." Upon discovering that Xie Yunwang's "corpse" could bleed and his complexion turned red, Lu Ning'an realized the flaw in his fake death and harbored the idea of turning the tables and eliminating him for good.
