After reincarnating, Li Mingwei (Li Chunhua) reunites with her second brother, Li Mingye, for a heart-to-heart talk. Li Mingye reveals the shocking changes that occurred after her death: her childhood sweetheart, Xie Jingyuan, staged a coup, placed Emperor Gu Chen under house arrest, and declared himself Regent. Even more surprisingly, Xie Jingyuan not only released the imprisoned Li brothers but also allowed Li Mingye to inherit his title and serve as Minister of Revenue, while their third brother, Li Mingxuan, became a Great General. Li Mingye firmly believes this is the blessing of their deceased father's spirit, but Li Mingwei is filled with deep suspicion: if Xie Jingyuan murdered their father, why did he save and promote them? Could there be a hidden truth behind the tragic massacre of their family?

He explains that the family concealed the truth from Li Mingwei to protect her innocence. Upon learning the truth, Li Mingwei angrily strikes Li Mingye and then inquires about their fourth brother, Li Mingyu. Li Mingyu, once ambitious and adhering to the principle of "poverty cannot sway," has, under the stimulus of the family's upheaval and severe injuries, degenerated into a profligate troublemaker at a winery, even arrogantly flaunting his connection to his brother, the Minister of Revenue. Li Mingye feels helpless about this and chooses to let it be, leaving Li Mingwei deeply regretful of their actions.

Regent Xie Jingyuan, observing from the shadows, is stirred by Li Mingwei's familiar military combat moves, triggering intense heartache and suspicion.

Amidst the chaos and memories, Xie Jingyuan grows increasingly convinced that this woman is his childhood sweetheart who disappeared ten years ago.

Unaware of her true identity, Li Mingyu tries to intimidate her by invoking the name of Xie Jingyuan, the Regent of Northern Qi, to assert his authority. Li Mingwei, unfazed, publicly likens Li Mingyu to a "barking dog" and warns Xie Jingyuan to control his subordinates, exuding an imposing presence. Shortly after, their second brother Li Mingye and third brother Li Mingxuan arrive, escalating the tense atmosphere. Unexpectedly, Xie Jingyuan, a figure of immense power, not only refrains from punishment but senses a resemblance to an old acquaintance in Li Chunhua.

Li Mingwei (in the guise of Li Chunhua) confronts the Regent without subservience, questioning if he intends to eliminate them all, while the Li brothers desperately protect their sister.

Startled, Li Mingwei, to conceal her true identity, falsely claims to be Li Chunhua, a cook who has worked at the Duke's mansion since she was eight. As the two stand at an impasse, Li Mingwei's third brother, Li Mingxuan, arrives and takes her away under the pretense of protecting his sister's reputation. Watching Li Mingwei's retreating figure, Xie Jingyuan grows even more convinced that she is the person he has been searching for all these years.

She is shocked to learn that her political enemy, Xie Jingyuan, personally collected her body and buried her in their old place of affection. This revelation causes immense cognitive dissonance for her, as she had always believed Xie Jingyuan to be the murderer of her father. Subsequently, Li Mingwei asserts her authority as the eldest sister, iron-fistedly disciplining her dissolute fourth brother, Li Mingyu, and her second and third brothers within the mansion, forcing them to take responsibility and kneel as punishment. Despite not knowing her true identity, the three brothers, under an inexplicable "bloodline suppression," obey her without question. Just as everyone is being punished, an imperial edict suddenly arrives.
