This episode depicts Cheng Qingye seeking treatment from TCM doctor Yu Song for insomnia caused by restlessness. Yu Song directly states the cause is "desire giving rise to illness," and Cheng Qingye takes the opportunity to boldly tease him, suggesting they "sleep it off" as a cure. Before entering the consultation room, Cheng Qingye, who is attracted to good looks, asks Yu Song to remove his mask for a "visual inspection." After witnessing Yu Song's handsome appearance, her heart races, but she hides her fluster through inner monologue. Later, in the private treatment room, Yu Song asks Cheng Qingye to undress for treatment. Though shy and nervous, Cheng Qingye decides to "be bad this time" for Yu Song. After removing her outer clothing, she calls Yu Song in, and the ambiguous atmosphere between them reaches its peak.

In this episode, under the treatment of TCM doctor Yu Song, the female lead Cheng Qingye enters a dream filled with the pleasure of revenge. In the dream, Cheng Qingye and Yu Song are extremely intimate. She deliberately kisses Yu Song passionately in front of her ex-fiancé Lu Xudong, who betrayed her, declaring her intention to get revenge on Lu Xudong in the same way. Upon waking, Cheng Qingye realizes that the intimacy and revenge were just illusions. Facing the gentle and caring Yu Song in reality, she feels shy and tries to explain her original intention of seeking "sleep therapy" to draw a clear line between professional treatment and emotional ambiguity.

This episode depicts the emotional game between the female lead Cheng Qingye and her ex-fiancé Lü Xudong and her current guardian Yu Song. Lü Xudong displays his controlling nature regarding wedding preparations over the phone, informing Cheng's mother (or Lü's mother) that she's also involved, and pressures Cheng Qingye to go to the hotel. That evening, after Cheng Qingye's moxibustion treatment, Yu Song drives her home, but unexpectedly encounters Lü Xudong at their destination. To prevent Lü Xudong from discovering their relationship, Cheng Qingye falls into extreme panic and requests Yu Song's help to conceal themselves in the car. Lü Xudong senses something unusual outside the car and becomes suspicious of the identity of the people inside, leading to an imminent confrontation.

In order to escape her cheating fiancé, Lu Xudong, Cheng Qingye hastily hides in Yu Song's car. A subtle atmosphere develops between them in the cramped space. After thanking Yu Song, Cheng Qingye quickly leaves. Later, while riding an elevator with Lu Xudong, he mentions seeing a girl in his car who looked and dressed exactly like her. Cheng Qingye forces herself to remain calm and dismisses it as a "coincidence." However, inside, she is filled with panic and self-doubt.

Yu Song carefully prepares traditional Chinese medicine for Cheng Qingye indoors. Cheng Qingye initially thought making medicine was simple, but Yu Song uses this opportunity to professionally explain the importance of controlling the heat and suggests she opt for the hospital's pre-decoction service. Cheng Qingye keenly realizes this means they will see each other every day from now on. Yu Song not only tacitly agrees but also offers to personally deliver the medicine when he has free time. While handing over the medicine, Yu Song gently tests its temperature and reminds her to "be careful, it's hot," creating a subtle romantic atmosphere between them. Cheng Qingye finally directly asks Yu Song about the true intentions behind his actions.

Cheng Qing directly exposes Yu Song's behavior of "rejecting while leaving room," enumerating his contradictory actions: refusing but leaving his number, choosing incense and massage over overstepping boundaries when she stayed at his place, and taking care of her intimately despite knowing she had a fiancé. Faced with Cheng Qing's almost provocative question, "Don't you want something to happen between us?", the usually restrained Yu Song finally drops his pretense, forcefully pushes Cheng Qing onto the sofa, instantly creating an ambiguous and dangerous atmosphere.
