This episode revolves around the intense conflict concerning the marriage of Commander's son, Mu Zixuan. Commander's wife, Qin Wanyu, in an attempt to align with the wealthy Shen family, forces her son Mu Zixuan to marry Shen Qianqian. Mu Zixuan publicly rejects the marriage, confessing his deep love for Shen Xingyao, who is fostered in their manor, claiming she is the true heiress of the Shen family. Qin Wanyu is enraged, curses Shen Xingyao as a vixen, and accuses her husband Mu Tianhong of favoring her as well. Commander Mu Tianhong steps in to stop the commotion, and though he reprimands his wife, he firmly settles Zixuan's marriage and forbids Shen Xingyao from leaving. At the end, under Mu Tianhong's questioning, Shen Xingyao meaningfully admits to feeling "a pang of guilt," leaving a cliffhanger.
