This episode tells the story of Jiang Rou, the true daughter of the Jiang family (who is in a state of intellectual disability), suffering inhumane bullying at the engagement banquet of Gu Yunshu and Yan Chen. Gu Yunshu and her mother not only verbally humiliated her, but also instigated others to mock Jiang Rou, even pouring red wine on her head. Meanwhile, Jiang Zhiwei, the head of the Jiang family, who was overseas, witnessed the tragic scene of her daughter being humiliated through video. Jiang Zhiwei angrily called her husband Gu Yanzheng to question him, but was perfunctorily dismissed with the excuse of "hallucination." Jiang Zhiwei immediately returned to the country, forcefully broke into the engagement banquet, and appeared at the critical moment when Gu Yunshu was about to further harm Jiang Rou, thus kicking off the prelude to revenge.

Jiang Zhiwei, the formidable matriarch of the Jiang family, makes a powerful return, only to discover her biological daughter, Jiang Rou, is being treated as a foolish nanny and shamelessly bullied within the Gu family, even being forced into a marriage with a dog. Illegitimate daughter Gu Yunshu not only impersonates the identity of a young lady but also colludes with her mistress mother to provoke Jiang Rou. Amidst heartbreak and rage, Jiang Zhiwei calmly retaliates, publicly exposing the true identities of the mother and daughter as "mistress and bastard," igniting the crowd's doubts about the Gu family's secrets. This episode features intense conflict, with Jiang Zhiwei's domineering protection of her daughter starkly contrasting with the Gu family mother and daughter's ugly facades, officially launching the battle for the truth of their identities.

At the banquet, Jiang Zhiwei publicly slaps Gu Yunshu, who is impersonating the daughter, and declares herself the true mistress of the Gu family, with Jiang Rou being the only legitimate eldest daughter. However, Gu Yunshu and her mother (the mistress) retort, falsely accusing Jiang Zhiwei's family of being servants dreaming in broad daylight and maliciously revealing that Jiang Rou has been tortured into an idiot. Enraged upon learning of her daughter's plight, Jiang Zhiwei is met with threats from Gu's mother to have her apprehended, and the conflict between the two sides erupts completely.

During the call, Gu Yanzheng dotes on his mistress and illegitimate daughter, even threatening to punish the "crazy woman." Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiwei takes over the conversation. Upon hearing Jiang Zhiwei's icy voice, Gu Yanzheng instantly shifts from rage to extreme terror. The climax of this episode is Jiang Zhiwei's official declaration of her return, directly tearing down the facade of betrayal Gu Yanzheng has maintained for years.

She then commands the venue to be locked down, showcasing her formidable aura as the head of a top-tier wealthy family. The prelude to her revenge has officially begun.

Gu Yunshu, Gu Yanzheng's illegitimate daughter, his mistress, and her former fiancé Yan Chen were subdued but remained unrepentant, shouting threats and invoking Gu Yanzheng's power to intimidate Jiang Zhiwei, vowing to disfigure her. Jiang Zhiwei, unfazed, punished them again and drew her whip, ready to escalate. Just as tensions peaked, Lin Sen rushed in with news of Gu Yanzheng's arrival, making the situation even more unpredictable.

Gu Yanzheng makes a forceful arrival at the banquet.

Incited by his mistress, Gu Yanzheng fully sides with the illegitimate daughter, hurling insults at Jiang Zhiwei, pushing the betrayal and conflict within the wealthy family to its peak.

Jiang Zhiwei makes a strong comeback, revealing Gu Yanzheng's pathetic true colors before his mistress and illegitimate daughter. Faced with the instigation and pleas of his mistress and illegitimate daughter Gu Yunshu, Gu Yanzheng, fully aware of Jiang Zhiwei's power, not only fails to protect them but publicly slaps his mistress to save himself. He grovels and admits that everything he owns, including the entire "Gu family" fortune, actually belongs to "Jiang." He publicly declares Jiang Zhiwei as his one and only legitimate wife, plunging the mistress and her daughter into despair.

Jiang Zhiwei, the "Godmother of Jiangcheng" and head of the Jiang family, makes a powerful return and reveals that Jiang Rou is the true heiress. Gu Yanzheng, who was arrogant and unyielding, collapses under Jiang Zhiwei's pressure. To survive, he not only begs for mercy but also shifts all blame to his mistress (Gu Yunshu's mother) and turns violent towards her, even beating his own daughter, Gu Yunshu. Yan Chen, Jiang Rou's former fiancé who betrayed her, also changes his tune and tries to use Jiang Rou's feelings to escape. Witnessing the pathetic acts of these clowns, Jiang Zhiwei coldly declares that her revenge has begun, vowing to make them pay a hundredfold for the suffering Jiang Rou endured over the past three years.

However, Gu Yanzheng unexpectedly receives a call from Lin Sen, an executive at Dihao Group, informing him that he has been appointed as Dihao Group's designated partner. This turn of events causes Gu Yanzheng to change his demeanor instantly.
