After surviving a Divine Calamity, Nyra awakens decades later—trapped in the body of her ten-year-old descendant. Her once-glorious house is rotting from within, swallowed by a creeping black curse. So she starts cutting out the rot, crushing dark forces, and reminding the world exactly who she used to be.

Ye Yuanmo returns to the Ye family and encounters the reborn Ye Lingyin (possessing Ye Xunyin). Arrogant about his status, Ye Yuanmo mocks Ye Lingyin as a "country bumpkin little cousin" and demands an apology for her earlier reprimand of the butler. Faced with provocation, Ye Lingyin, the Ye family's ancestor, unleashes her full aura and retorts, calling Ye Yuanmo's modern hairstyle an "oddity" and "ugly fruit." Ye Lingyin declares herself "the rules of the Ye family" and forcefully intimidates the maid Wang Ma into fetching scissors. Amidst Ye Yuanmo's terrified struggle, Ye Lingyin mercilessly cuts off his proud pink hair, making Ye Yuanmo experience unprecedented suppression.

This episode details the first direct confrontation between Ye Lingyin, the Ye family's ancient ancestor possessing Ye Xunyin, and Ye Yanlin, the current Ye family patriarch. Ye Yuanmo complains to his uncle, Ye Yanlin, about his hair being cut. Upon seeing his supposedly dead daughter "resurrected," Ye Yanlin shows no compassion but instead accuses her of returning to disrupt the family's fortune. Ye Lingyin publicly exposes Ye Yanlin's foolishness in abandoning his own daughter based on false accusations and declares him unworthy of being a father. Facing Ye Yanlin's physical threats, Ye Lingyin, protected by the power of the Black Wood Whip, prevents him from getting close. In the end, Ye Yanlin furiously locks Ye Lingyin in the ancestral hall, where Ye Lingyin intends to use the opportunity to "hold the Ye family's ancestors accountable."

After surviving a Divine Calamity, Nyra awakens decades later—trapped in the body of her ten-year-old descendant. Her once-glorious house is rotting from within, swallowed by a creeping black curse. So she starts cutting out the rot, crushing dark forces, and reminding the world exactly who she used to be.

Ye Yuanmo publicly accuses Ye Xunyin (actually Ye Lingyin, the old ancestor of the Ye family, possessing Ye Xunyin's body) of being mad and rude for daring to offer incense to the ancestors without permission. However, Ye Xunyin unleashes the long-lost Ye family secret technique, "Incense Burning Art," which causes the ancestors' spiritual tablets to resonate, filling the air with smoke. The eldest elder of the Ye family, Ye Zhongyong, observes from the side. The familiar movements and demeanor trigger a strong sense of déjà vu. With Ye Xunyin's utterance of "little one," Ye Zhongyong finally confirms that the young girl before him is indeed the ancestor Ye Lingyin who enlightened him ninety years ago.

Ye Lingyin (possessing Ye Xunyin) publicly addresses Ye Zhongyong, the highest-ranking elder of the Ye family, as "Little Brat" in the Ye family ancestral hall. This shocking act enrages the Ye family disciples present (such as Ye Yanlin), who deem her disrespectful and threaten severe punishment. However, this private nickname, known only to the ancestors, triggers Ye Zhongyong's memories of ninety years ago. As the crowd clamors and Ye Zhongyong suffers a heart attack due to emotional distress, Ye Lingyin decisively intervenes, using her life force to stabilize his condition, thus revealing her extraordinary abilities.

Ye Zhongyong suddenly faints, and Wei Shanbao and Wei Yuze seize the opportunity to accuse Ye Lingyin (possessed by the Old Ancestor) of harming an elderly person, intending to beat her to death. Dr. Chen examines Ye Zhongyong on-site and discovers that his pulse is miraculously stabilizing. Faced with Wei Shanbao's order to arrest her, Ye Lingyin remains calm and composed, using her spiritual power to intimidate everyone and haughtily declares that she is saving a life, not taking one.

This segment takes place in the Ye family ancestral hall. Ye Yanlin, due to the Ye family patriarch (Ye Zhongyong) being in a coma and the Wei family's imminent revenge, decides to use the cruel family law "Blackwood Vine Whip" on Ye Xunyin (actually the reincarnation of the ancestor Ye Lingyin), instigated by Ye Yuanmo. Facing the threat, Ye Lingyin remains calm and composed. Just as Ye Yanlin swings the whip, the unconscious patriarch miraculously awakens. Ye Yanlin and his son expected the patriarch to severely punish Ye Xunyin, but to their surprise, the patriarch recognizes Ye Lingyin as the Ye family ancestor who disappeared a hundred years ago. He then kneels in front of everyone to pay homage, calling her "Ancestor," plunging the entire hall into stunned silence.

This episode features the core identity reversal of the entire series. Ye Zhongyong, the most senior elder of the Ye family, kneels before his "granddaughter" Ye Xunyin, who is only ten years old, in front of everyone's astonishment, calling her "Ancestor." Faced with the doubts and obstruction of Ye Yanlin and Ye Yuanmo, Ye Zhongyong confirms that the reincarnated Ancestor Ye Lingyin is indeed within Ye Xunyin's body, using the ninety-year-old nickname "Little Dot." Ye Lingyin touches Ye Xunyin's head with a majesty beyond her years, lamenting, while Ye Zhongyong insists that "rituals must not be abandoned," affirming their master-servant relationship. Faced with Ye Yuanmo's curse of "shortened lifespan," Ye Lingyin霸气 declares that she was born to face tribulation and her lifespan is as eternal as the heavens.

The ancient ancestor of the Ye family, Ye Lingyin, awakens within her seventh-generation descendant, Ye Xunyin. Ye Xunyin's father, Ye Yanlin, mistakenly believes his daughter is possessed and intends to hire an exorcist. However, Ye Zhongyong, a former patriarch of the Ye family who knows the truth, treats Ye Lingyin with great respect. Ye Lingyin inquires about the current situation of the "Four Great Families" from Ye Zhongyong and learns that the Ye family has been declining while the Wei family has risen to become the wealthiest. Faced with his arrogant cousin Ye Yuanmo, Ye Zhongyong suppresses him forcefully and makes him acknowledge his ancestors. At this moment, the Wei family suddenly attacks, using the reason that the Wei family patriarch died with unfinished business to arrogantly demand burial in the Ye family's ancestral land, igniting an imminent family conflict.
