Born a monster, raised as a blessing. Zara swallowed death, spit out miracles, and stole the spotlight from every schemer. Zara wasn’t their curse—she was their crown jewel.

This episode tells the story of the terrifying warlord Gan Gandang encountering the orphaned girl Zhao Zhao on the street. Unusually, Zhao Zhao is not only unafraid of him, but through her special sense of smell that can distinguish good from evil, she determines that Gan Gandang is a good person. Deeply moved by Zhao Zhao's innocence and frankness, Gan Gandang immediately decides to take her as his adopted daughter. However, the heartwarming moment is shattered by a sudden assassination attempt. Zhao Zhao senses "death energy" and steps forward at the critical moment to protect her newly recognized "sugar daddy" father. The story ends abruptly in a tense standoff.

The episode opens with the young protagonist, Gan Zhaozhao, showcasing her powerful divine strength as the ancient fierce beast Taotie to protect her adoptive father, the warlord Gan Gandang, referred to as her "meal ticket," at an assassination scene. She not only devours the bullets aimed at her father but also unleashes a "Taotie Roar" that defeats all enemies, dispelling the "death energy" surrounding Gan Gandang. The adjutant, Li Han, is terrified by her power, exclaiming she is a "demon," but Gan Gandang regards her as his "little lucky star" and publicly declares Gan Zhaozhao the sole "apple of his eye" in the Gan family. However, upon hearing this news, a relative of the Gan family, Gan Zonglong, is extremely displeased, foreshadowing future family conflicts.

The episode opens with intense family conflict. Old Master Gan, enraged after seeing the newspaper, insists that the time-traveling woman Gan Qiutang is the only treasure of the Gan family, listing her "lucky star" deeds. Gan Qiutang, however, is internally panicked because a new character, the little girl Gan Zhaozhao, has appeared in the plot, a character not present in the original book she knows. Fang Shuanghua, a relative from a side branch, outwardly offers comfort but inwardly relishes the discord, hoping for family chaos to seize assets. Amidst the tension, Warlord Gan Gandang returns with his adopted daughter, Gan Zhaozhao. The Old Master furiously calls Zhaozhao a "bastard" and forbids her from entering the house. At the end, the innocent Gan Zhaozhao asks her father what a "bastard" is, leaving a cliffhanger.

General Gan Gandang returns home with his adopted daughter, Gan Zhaozhao, only to be publicly reprimanded by his father, Old Master Gan. The Old Master accuses Zhaozhao of being crude and disrespectful, while highly praising Gan Qiutang, whom he considers a "lucky star." Gan Gandang is furious. He refutes the feudal superstitious beliefs of praying for blessings and averting disaster, and with unquestionable authority, declares that Gan Zhaozhao is his only daughter and her status in the family registry is second only to his own. This move completely disrupts the original plan of the transmigrated woman, Gan Qiutang. She had expected the Gan family to be destroyed according to the "original story," with her inheriting everything. Now, she is shocked and unwilling due to the unexpected deviation in the plot.

The episode opens with a heated family conflict. Qian Qiutang, a relative from a collateral branch of the Qian family, questions his adoptive father, Qian Gandang, about his favoritism towards his adopted daughter, Qian Zhaozhao, which displeases Old Master Qian, who intends to discipline the "disrespectful" Zhaozhao with family law. Warlord Qian Gandang forcefully defends his daughter, drawing his gun and declaring that his rules are his pistol. Relatives Qian Zonglong and Fang Shuanghua attempt to mediate but are instead humiliated by Qian Gandang and his daughter. When Fang Shuanghua curses Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao surprisingly draws her own small pistol, pointing it at Fang Shuanghua and imitating her father's overbearing behavior, threatening to invite everyone to a funeral feast, causing the situation to spiral out of control.

The episode opens with adopted daughter Qian Zhaozhao playing a "fake death" prank on her family with a toy gun. Her mother, Qin Ruoya, and relatives Qian Zonglong and Grandpa Qian all play along, creating a humorous scene. When their warlord father, Qian Gandang, returns home, he enthusiastically praises Zhaozhao's "performance," showing a warm and doting father-daughter interaction. However, Qian Gandang also subtly expresses his dissatisfaction with the somewhat stiff welcome he receives from his other family members, hinting at the delicate family dynamics. The episode concludes with the appearance of the eldest son, Qian Yao, setting the stage for future plot developments.
