This episode's plot revolves around a fierce conflict in the Gu family's main hall. Incited by his mother, Old Mrs. Gu, Gu Wu (the father) slaps his legal wife, Su Minlan, in front of everyone and accuses her of looking down on his concubine, Yu Feng'er, all to protect Yu Feng'er. At a critical moment, the reincarnated daughter Gu Nuannuan steps forward. Ostensibly crying out with childish innocence about her father "favoring his concubine over his wife," she actually leverages her maternal grandfather's (the Prime Minister's) power and the imperial family's emphasis on the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children to apply pressure. Fearing power and the exposure of scandal, Gu Wu and Old Mrs. Gu instantly soften their stance. Gu Nuannuan seizes the opportunity to set a trap, quoting her maternal grandmother to force her father to divorce Concubine Yu to "solve the problem fundamentally," pushing Gu Wu into a difficult predicament.
