The episode opens at a banquet where the female lead, Xu Fanxing, argues with her husband, Shen Xingchen, over a project proposal left by her mother. Her stepsister, Xu Jiaojiao, pretends to mediate but instead provokes her stepmother (aunt) and father, Xu Mingyuan, into verbally abusing Xu Fanxing. Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Fanxing publicly exposes the family scandal: her father's affair with her aunt, his role in her mother's death, and how he caused her deafness. She decisively severs ties with the Xu family. The scene shifts to the divorce registration office. After repeatedly withdrawing her divorce requests, Xu Fanxing finally makes up her mind. Shen Xingchen leaves midway due to a call from Xu Jiaojiao and mistakenly believes Xu Fanxing will compromise again. However, Xu Fanxing firmly requests a divorce from the staff.
