Meanwhile, Shen Zhiyi's parents, Jiang Yancheng's original fiancée, beg him on their knees, revealing their daughter is imprisoned abroad for a hit-and-run.

During their intense confrontation, Jiang Yancheng stops Song Yanzhi from leaving and, with a contract worth five million, demands she impersonate "Shen Zhiyi" and marry him, becoming his fiancée.

Song Yanzhi resists based on the contract terms, but Jiang Yancheng corners her again by referencing "Shen Zhiyi's" habit of only wearing silk pajamas.

However, this apple is from Northern Shaanxi where the elder Mrs. Jiang lived during her youth, evoking her most profound memories.
