Once a legendary appraiser, Lynn retired as a housewife, living peacefully with priceless treasures. Her best friend mocks her advice to leave an abusive marriage, but Lynn’s discovery of her husband’s affair with a secretary uncovers more than just betrayal.

Lin Yueyi tries to accompany her husband Xu Rui to his company (Jun Rui)'s jewelry launch event, but is perfunctorily rejected by Xu Rui with the excuse that "important guests are attending and he'll be too busy to attend to her." Xu Rui is solely focused on currying favor with the mysterious jewelry magnate "Golden Finch," unaware that this magnate is precisely Lin Yueyi's hidden alter ego. Lin Yueyi receives a call from her subordinate Sun, learning that Xu Rui has actually sent an invitation to "Golden Finch." She decides to play along and make a stunning appearance as "Golden Finch" in her true identity. At the launch event, Xu Rui's secretary, Julie, enjoys VIP access and enters directly, while Lin Yueyi is stopped by security. When Lin Yueyi reveals her top-tier invitation, the entire venue is shocked, and the prelude to her identity reversal officially begins.

At an important business event, Xu Rui is extremely displeased by his wife Lin Yueyi's sudden appearance. He despises her cheap earrings, fearing embarrassment in front of the VIP guest, "Golden Finch," unaware that Lin Yueyi is "Golden Finch" herself. Shortly after, Xu Rui's mistress and secretary, Julie, arrives under the pretense of delivering documents, staging a scene of the "considerate secretary" before Lin Yueyi. Lin Yueyi observes coldly. As Julie prepares to leave, Lin Yueyi keenly notices something unusual about Julie's earrings and asks to see them, causing Xu Rui to become instantly tense.

At the press conference, Lin Yueyi confronts Julie, Xu Rui's lover, head-on. The two unexpectedly clash when they are seen wearing the same jade earrings. Julie arrogantly flaunts that the earrings were a gift from her boyfriend, while Lin Yueyi calmly declares hers are "replicas." To verify their authenticity, Lin Yueyi proposes weighing them publicly. The result proves that the earrings Julie is wearing are indeed Lin Yueyi's unique, 23.6-gram genuine pair. Under the guise of discussing "real and fake items," Lin Yueyi subtly mocks Julie's lowly status and privately warns Xu Rui to return the rightful property. Despite being put in her place, Julie ambitiously declares, "What's truly mine will eventually be mine anyway," creating a highly charged atmosphere.

This episode showcases the immense wealth and principles of Lin Yueyi, the top mysterious figure in the collecting world known as "Golden Branch Sparrow." While inspecting her private collection, Lin Yueyi receives a report from her subordinate, Sun: her nemesis, Dong Li, has publicly announced the auction of the heirloom treasure, the "Sea Blue Oriental Pearl." However, the true Oriental Pearl is actually in Lin Yueyi's possession. Lin Yueyi realizes Dong Li is setting a trap and orders Sun to monitor him closely. Meanwhile, Lin Yueyi's husband, Xu Rui, is furious because "Golden Branch Sparrow" has stood him up, completely unaware that this person is his own wife. Xu Rui's mistress, Julie, seizes the opportunity to sow discord, suggesting a collaboration with the Dong Group instead, intending to profit from the Oriental Pearl auction.

Lin Yueyi makes a surprise visit to Junrui Company and notices her husband, Xu Rui, and his secretary, Zhu Li, looking flustered. Instead of getting angry on the spot, Lin Yueyi takes Zhu Li away from the office under the pretense of having coffee. At the cafe, Lin Yueyi calmly exposes Zhu Li's affair with Xu Rui by noticing the new Chanel bag Zhu Li is carrying, which is beyond her salary. She then advises Zhu Li to "wake up." Meanwhile, Lin Yueyi receives a call about her son, Xu Wenjing, being bullied at school. She sternly tells her son to "fight back himself," showcasing her sharp demeanor and determination for revenge.

Lin Yueyi meets Yan Ting at a coffee shop, asserting her claim and issuing a warning not as "Mrs. Xu" but as "Miss Lin." Yan Ting then reports to her superior that Lin Yueyi has discovered Xu Rui's affair. Lin Yueyi picks up her son, Xu Wenjing, from school in her modest car, only to be met with his disdain and defiance. Influenced by Xu Rui, Xu Wenjing not only pursues designer brands and materialistic comparisons but also insults his mother. Xu Rui uses work as an excuse to avoid picking up their child, maintaining his facade of a "good father." Lin Yueyi sees through his greed and hypocrisy and secretly plots her revenge.

Lin Yueyi dines with her son Xu Wenjing at a high-end French restaurant. Xu Wenjing throws a tantrum, demanding a burger. Lin Yueyi seizes this opportunity to expose Xu Rui's hypocrisy: he enjoys expensive French cuisine alone while only buying his son cheap fast food. Just then, Xu Rui arrives at the same restaurant with his mistress, Julie. To prevent her son from witnessing his father's infidelity, Lin Yueyi, suppressing her grief and anger, covers his mouth. Xu Rui is tender and attentive to Julie at the next table, even ordering identical dishes. Lin Yueyi witnesses his betrayal unfold before her eyes. Heartbroken, she realizes their marriage is irrevocably broken and hints to Xu Wenjing that he will soon have a "new mom."

During a restaurant date with his secretary Julie, Xu Rui spots someone who looks like Lin Yueyi. However, Julie insists that Lin Yueyi is tied down by domestic chores. Meanwhile, Lin Yueyi is in a car with her son, Xu Wenjing, coolly dealing with his cries of "Daddy doesn't want us." Instead of offering comfort, Lin Yueyi logically exposes Xu Wenjing's secret fried chicken indulgence with Xu Rui, forcing the young boy to choose between wealth and lifestyle. Ultimately, Xu Wenjing, under the pressure of reality, chooses his mother, Lin Yueyi.

This segment presents two contrasting scenes: unwavering emotion and the trap of greed. Faced with frozen assets and financial hardship, Lin Yueyi receives her son Xu Wenjing's steadfast support, and the mother and son make a heartwarming pact to "earn money to support the family." Meanwhile, Xu Rui, in pursuit of a so-called "referendum spot" and rare collectibles, falls into a trap set by Dong Li. Under Dong Li's relentless pressure and verbal humiliation, Xu Rui, blinded by greed, decides to go all in, diverting all company funds and personal savings, a total of twenty million, into the trap, all under the watchful eye of Sun, Lin Yueyi's subordinate.

Lin Yueyi returns home to find her bank card frozen. Her husband, Xu Rui, lies, claiming it's due to a company financial audit and makes a large transfer on the spot to prove his loyalty. After Xu Rui leaves, Lin Yueyi immediately calls to investigate the truth behind Xu Rui's property transfer. Meanwhile, the mastermind Dong Li is plotting with Xu Rui's secretary, Zhu Li. Dong Li reveals that Xu Rui has transferred his assets to Zhu Li's account, intending to make Lin Yueyi mistakenly believe Zhu Li is a mistress taking over. Dong Li plans to use this situation to "catch a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," and tempts Zhu Li with the position of "Vice President" to assist him in seizing the precious "Eastern Pearl."
