He sold everything to raise the three girls his parents died saving. On his 28th birthday, they repaid him by letting him die. Seven days before it happens again, Ryan wakes up—with a system that rewards him every time love ruins them.

Xia Yan returns home to find his adopted sister, Shen Qinghan, has taken it upon herself to sell his 50-million-yuan property for a mere 20 million, all to raise funds for his childhood sweetheart, Boda, to debut. Faced with Shen Qinghan's entitlement, as well as the moral blackmail and threats from his other two adopted sisters, Shen Youwei and Shen Dongyu, Xia Yan's long-suppressed anger finally explodes. He refuses to back down any further, displaying extreme "ruthlessness" towards the three sisters' unreasonable demands. This act unexpectedly triggers and binds him to the "Ruthless System," beginning a prelude to revenge and rebirth.

This episode showcases the complete eruption of conflict between Xia Yan and the three Shen sisters. To help their beloved Ji Boda raise money for his debut, the three Shen sisters join forces to force Xia Yan, who raised them for many years, to sell the old house left by their parents. Shen Dongyu first feigns pity to test the waters, then the three sisters take turns, not only verbally humiliating and morally blackmailing Xia Yan but even claiming that Xia Yan "trapped" their freedom with the household registration book. Ji Boda, hypocritically playing a strategic retreat, further incites the sisters' emotions from the side. Seeing through the true colors of these "ungrateful wretches," Xia Yan can no longer endure. She violently expels Ji Boda and slaps her unrepentant younger sisters. Finally, Xia Yan produces the household registration book, fulfilling their request to move their registered residence, and officially declares an end to all relations with these three ungrateful sisters.

This episode details the complete eruption of conflict between Xia Yan and the three Shen sisters. Incited by the manipulative scoundrel Boda, Shen Qinghan, Shen Youwei, and Shen Dongyu not only disregard Xia Yan's years of upbringing but also falsely accuse him of threatening them with the household registration book. They then instigate security guards to violently expel him from his own villa. Boda feigns peacemaking while cunningly plotting to seize the property. The three sisters even plan to sneak into Xia Yan's room to steal the property deed and forcibly sell the house. Finally, expelled to the doorstep, Xia Yan ceases to tolerate their actions and decisively makes a call to the police, preparing to reclaim the property that has been "usurped."

This episode details the Shen sisters' (Shen Qinghan, Shen Youwei, and Shen Dongyu) attempt to secretly sell Xia Yan's 50-million-yuan property. They are in the process of signing the contract with Manager Liu when Xia Yan arrives with law enforcement officers, accusing the sisters of trespassing and robbery. The sisters, relying on their former "family" status, show no remorse. Instead, they falsely accuse Xia Yan of filing a false report and demand the officers detain him. However, when Xia Yan produces the household registration book and requests an online verification, the harsh truth is revealed: the sisters' names have long been removed from the property's household registration information, completely stripping them of any legal claim to the home.

Shen Qinghan and her two sisters are shocked to discover that Xia Yan has removed them from the household registration, meaning they've lost their eligibility to sell Xia Yan's property to fund Ji Boda's debut. Xia Yan coldly reveals this is the "freedom" they once pursued. Facing Shen Qinghan's arrogant threats and emotional blackmail, Xia Yan remains unwavering, insisting she is the sole owner of the property. Security personnel confirm Xia Yan's legal rights and order everyone to leave. Shen Qinghan attempts to entice Xia Yan to sell the house with a "last chance," but is angrily told to "get out of my house." Ultimately, security personnel warn and expel everyone for trespassing.

Xia Yan, feeling immensely satisfied, mobilizes security personnel to forcibly expel his three ungrateful sisters (Shen Qinghan, Shen Youwei, and Shen Dongyu) from the family home. At this moment, the rebirth system bound to Xia Yan prompts him that his "rebirth progress" has increased, and he is rewarded with the gratitude of the great Xia actress Jiang Wanqing. It turns out that ten years ago, Xia Yan rescued Jiang Wanqing from human traffickers. After discovering the identity of her savior, Jiang Wanqing decides to host a lavish banquet on Xia Yan's birthday and offer him a top-tier artist contract as repayment. Meanwhile, the three Shen sisters, who have been driven out, show no remorse. They stubbornly believe that Xia Yan is acting and using tricks to force them away from Ji Boda, vowing never to forgive Xia Yan.

Xia Yan learns in a mansion that someone is hosting a birthday banquet for him at the top hotel "Cloud Peak," triggering painful memories of his past life where he was ruthlessly exploited and ultimately met a tragic end at the hands of the Shen sisters (Shen Qinghan, Shen Youwei, and Shen Dongyu) and outsider Ji Boda. The Rebirth System informs Xia Yan that his current rebirth progress is 30%, and his mission is to make these three ungrateful wretches suffer the "bitterness of love." Meanwhile, the three sisters, driven out of the villa by Xia Yan, are crammed into a shabby apartment with Ji Boda. Instead of reflecting on their actions, they blame all their misfortunes on Xia Yan's "jealousy." Upon receiving the mysterious invitation to the Cloud Peak birthday banquet, the sisters arrogantly assume Xia Yan regrets his actions and is seeking reconciliation. They plot to severely humiliate Xia Yan at the banquet, forcing him to kneel and apologize.

Under Jiang Wanqing's meticulous arrangements, Xia Yan arrives at "Cloud Top" by private car to attend a birthday banquet. Inside the banquet hall, the three Shen sisters (Shen Qinghan, Shen Youwei, and Shen Dongyu), along with Ji Boda, are stunned by the luxurious scene and the presence of celebrities from all walks of life. Due to their extreme arrogance, the Shen sisters mistakenly believe this top-tier feast, personally organized by the acclaimed actress Jiang Wanqing, is prepared for Shen Qinghan. They even begin to fantasize about making Xia Yan beg for mercy after they become famous. Meanwhile, Jiang Wanqing announces on stage that the birthday banquet is to welcome a "special guest," just as Xia Yan makes a grand entrance into the venue.

This episode follows Jiang Yinghou (Jiang Wanqing) as she meticulously plans a "surprise" for the Shen sisters at the "Cloud Top Birthday Banquet" to repay Xia Yan for saving her life. Shen Qinghan, Shen Youwei, and Shen Dongyu, accompanied by the "green tea boy" Boda whom they fiercely protect, attend the event and viciously curse their disgraced adoptive brother Xia Yan from the audience. Jiang Wanqing outwardly praises the three sisters as outstanding newcomers in the entertainment industry and invites them onstage, intending to elevate them only to bring them crashing down. Just as the sisters believe they are about to reach the pinnacle of their lives, Jiang Wanqing announces the arrival of a "special guest." Xia Yan makes his grand entrance in a distinguished capacity, leaving the entire venue, especially the three sisters, in extreme shock and terror.
