Male protagonist Fu Tingshi is caring for the seriously ill Song Nanqiao in the hospital, an act that breaks his lover Luo Jingxue's heart. In despair, Luo Jingxue makes a mysterious transaction, sacrificing her "threads of affection" and thereby losing her ability to love. The very moment she severs these emotional ties, Fu Tingshi, far away in the hospital, feels an inexplicable pang of heartache and loss. Freed from emotional shackles, Luo Jingxue resolutely calls her mother, agreeing to an arranged marriage. She is determined to completely bid farewell to the past and embark on a brand-new, unknown chapter of her life.

The protagonist, Luo Jingxue, is pressured by her family to marry the heir of the Su family as repayment for her upbringing. At the same time, she receives provocative messages from Nan Qiao, the current girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend, Fu Tingshi. During a call with Fu Tingshi, Luo Jingxue firmly retorts and hangs up, signaling her resolve to sever ties. Fu Tingshi dismisses this, believing Luo Jingxue will soon come back to him. In the end, Luo Jingxue's arranged marriage partner, Su Huainan, the heir of the Su family, makes a dashing entrance on a motorcycle. He turns out to be Fu Tingshi's sworn enemy, thus initiating Luo Jingxue's revenge plan.

After breaking up with her ex-boyfriend Fu Tingshi, the female protagonist Luo Jingxue quickly went on a blind date for an arranged marriage with Su Huainian, Fu Tingshi's sworn enemy. Luo Jingxue displayed determination and coldness, claiming she had no "romantic feelings" left and regarded the marriage as a transaction to repay her family. Su Huainian felt both humiliated and thrilled by this. To exact revenge on Fu Tingshi, he deliberately spread the news of his impending engagement to Luo Jingxue. Upon learning of this from his friends' gossip, Fu Tingshi became furious. He immediately ordered a lesson for Su Huainian and those who spread the news, thus kicking off an intense feud between powerful families.

This episode opens with the male lead, Fu Tingshi, plunged into pain and anger because his ex-girlfriend, Luo Jingxue, married his arch-rival, Su Huainian. He stubbornly believes this is a clumsy trick orchestrated by Luo Jingxue to make him jealous. Fu Tingshi calls Luo Jingxue to confront her, but she coldly reminds him that he has already registered his marriage with Song Nanqiao, and there is no longer any relationship between them. During their heated exchange, they agree to completely break ties, and Luo Jingxue will move out of Fu Tingshi's villa. However, after hanging up, Fu Tingshi arrogantly believes Luo Jingxue is merely throwing a tantrum and waits for her to give up and come back to him.

After receiving a call from her new ally Su Huainan, Luo Jingxue went to her ex-boyfriend Fu Tingshi's mansion to pack her personal belongings, determined to make a complete break. At the mansion, she had a direct confrontation with Fu Tingshi's new wife, Song Nanqiao. Song Nanqiao first feigned innocence, then dropped the facade in the bedroom, maliciously provoking her with the fact that she and Fu Tingshi had registered their marriage on Luo Jingxue's birthday. Luo Jingxue responded calmly and remained unfazed. However, after being provoked, Song Nanqiao issued a sinister threat, hinting that she would frame her in the future, forcing Fu Tingshi to choose between them, thereby laying the groundwork for future conflicts.

This episode revolves around a meticulously planned setup. Rival Song Nanqiao deliberately harms herself in front of the female lead, Luo Jingxue, and feigns being pushed down the stairs. The male lead, Fu Tingshi, without questioning the truth, fully believes Song Nanqiao, severely scolds Luo Jingxue, and demands an apology from her. Under Song Nanqiao's hypocritical act, Fu Tingshi's disappointment in Luo Jingxue reaches its peak, leading him to demand a breakup and the return of the engagement ring. A heartbroken Luo Jingxue, in despair, reveals a twist, hinting that the ring on her hand was not given by Fu Tingshi, leaving a turning point for the plot.

Inside a luxurious villa, the male lead, Fu Tingshi, in front of his current partner, Song Nanqiao, grabs his ex-girlfriend Luo Jingxue's hand, arrogantly questioning the origin of the expensive engagement ring on her hand, which he believes doesn't belong to her. Both Fu Tingshi and Song Nanqiao firmly believe that Luo Jingxue, who was once deeply infatuated with him, is merely doing this to gain attention and provoke him. However, Luo Jingxue, uncharacteristically, displays a resolute attitude and sharp words, completely denying any feelings for Fu Tingshi. To prove she has a new fiancé, she immediately calls him, giving him one minute to arrive, otherwise, she will cancel the engagement, pushing the dramatic conflict to a climax and leaving intense suspense.

This episode revolves around an intense emotional confrontation. Fu Tingshi, accompanied by his current wife Song Nanqiao, gets into a fierce conflict with his ex-girlfriend Luo Jingxue at home, issuing an ultimatum.

As the tension peaks, Luo Jingxue's husband, Su Huainian—Fu Tingshi's sworn enemy—makes a powerful entrance in a luxury car, publicly asserting his claim over Luo Jingxue and directly challenging Fu Tingshi, leaving a strong suspense and a promise of escalating conflict for the episode's end.
