This episode revolves around the emotional entanglement between Commander Mu Tianhong, his adopted daughter Shen Xingyao, and his son Mu Zixuan. Mu Tianhong probes Shen Xingyao's feelings for Mu Zixuan, and states that he will prepare a generous dowry regardless of whom she marries, a remark that deeply hurts Shen Xingyao, who loves him profoundly. Shen Xingyao painfully confesses that if she cannot marry him, marrying anyone else would be the same, and tries to draw a line between them by claiming her debt of gratitude has been repaid. Subsequently, Mu Zixuan appears, claiming he won a bet and that Shen Xingyao is now his fiancée. Mu Tianhong immediately and coldly denies this, then forcibly takes Shen Xingyao away, leaving a tense standoff.
