This episode reveals the dual identities of Li Xunzhi and her cousin Ji Sui. Ji Sui unexpectedly time-travels and becomes the Emperor of Da Ye. He is utterly panicked by this sudden change in identity and the immense pressure of his thesis (from his modern memories). Li Xunzhi, a transmigration character, secretly meets with Ji Sui in the deep palace. She not only calms the flustered Ji Sui but also reveals a shocking "spoiler": in the original novel, the male protagonist Xiao Xing's rebellion was actually due to the "illicit affair" between the Emperor (Ji Sui) and Princess Chang Le (Li Xunzhi), which made Xiao Xing feel "green with envy." This revelation plunges Ji Sui into greater shock and a sense of crisis.
