A childhood promise died in a fire—and so did their trust. Three years of marriage couldn’t soften his hatred or heal her wounds. When Stella stops begging and listens to a stranger’s offer, fate quietly changes direction.

The episode opens with Shen Xingchen's friends making a dismissive bet, convinced that the abandoned Xu Fanxing will return begging Shen Xingchen for forgiveness within three days. Shen Xingchen harbors deep resentment towards Xu Fanxing due to a fire seven years ago and is confident of her quick submission. However, Xu Fanxing's arrival is not for reconciliation, but to reclaim her mother's heirloom, a bracelet, which Shen Xingchen had given to her cousin, Xu Jiaojiao. Amidst the humiliation from the crowd and Xu Jiaojiao's provocations, Shen Xingchen uses the return of the bracelet as a condition, forcing Xu Fanxing, who is severely allergic to alcohol, to drink. Despite her best friend Tang Tian's attempts to intervene, Shen Xingchen insists on forcing her to drink. This moment of cruelty shatters Xu Fanxing's heart, making her realize that he not only doesn't love her but even wishes for her death.

The episode opens with intense conflict. Xu Fanxing's beloved bracelet, a memento from her mother, is deliberately smashed by her cousin Xu Jiaojiao. To make matters worse, her husband, Shen Xingchen, not only fails to defend her but instead sides with Xu Jiaojiao and resorts to violence against her. Through flashbacks and inner monologues, the root of this tragedy is revealed: seven years ago, Xu Fanxing was slapped deaf by her father, Xu Mingyuan. This caused her to be unable to hear Shen Xingchen's cries for help during a fire. After saving him, she fainted, and Xu Jiaojiao took credit for her rescue. Years of misunderstanding and torment from Shen Xingchen, coupled with her father's betrayal, finally break Xu Fanxing's spirit. She resolves to abandon this marriage and family, initiating the countdown to her divorce.

Hearing-impaired and financially struggling photographer Xu Fanxing takes on a high-paying job to afford a new hearing aid. To her shock, her clients are her estranged wealthy husband, Shen Xingchen, and her rival cousin, Xu Jiaojiao, with whom she is currently divorcing. At the photoshoot, Xu Jiaojiao makes things difficult for Xu Fanxing, and Shen Xingchen publicly humiliates her as a "third-rate photographer," demanding a replacement. However, Shen Xingchen's inner monologue reveals his cruelty is a facade to hide his concern and his attempt to maintain control over Xu Fanxing. The episode ends with the cliffhanger "25 days until divorce," hinting at a painful and entangled tug-of-war between the two.

The episode opens with Xu Jiaojiao feigning remorse in the hospital room towards Shen Xingchen, "blaming herself" for him saving her before his wife, Xu Fanxing, a clear attempt at instigation. Shen Xingchen's inner monologue intertwines with memories of the fire, revealing his deep resentment towards Xu Fanxing. He wrongly believes Xu Jiaojiao's lie that Xu Fanxing caused her deafness to save another man and had deceived him. He relishes the pleasure of mentally retaliating against the comatose Xu Fanxing. However, the comatose Xu Fanxing, who was thought to be unconscious, has actually woken up and heard all the conversation and her husband's true feelings, finally exploding in anger.

She is accused and threatened with divorce because her crush, Xu Jiaojiao, faked an injury. Heartbroken, Xu Fanxing confides in her best friend, Tang Tian, revealing her decision to marry a mysterious, unseen wealthy man to fulfill her late mother's public welfare project. Tang Tian's flashback unveils Xu Fanxing's tragic past: her mother's fatal car accident due to her aunt's scheme, her own hearing loss, and the shattering of her family. At the end, Xu Fanxing receives a call from her father, asking her to attend Xu Jiaojiao's birthday party. She calmly accepts, setting a condition, hinting at her impending retaliation.

At the birthday banquet of Xu Jiaojiao, the second daughter of the Xu family, Xu Fanxing, the eldest daughter, endures humiliation. Her father, Xu Mingyuan, forces her to attend to save face and coldly returns her mother's遗物 (yíwù -遗物), a project file. Xu Fanxing's ex-husband, Shen Xingchen, not only publicly humiliates her but also ostentatiously presents a priceless gift to Xu Jiaojiao, sparking guest discussions about Xu Fanxing being neglected. Xu Jiaojiao further provokes her by snatching and stepping on the file, declaring Xu Fanxing will forever be her defeated opponent. Enraged, Xu Fanxing retaliates by pushing Xu Jiaojiao to the ground, while Shen Xingchen immediately rushes to Xu Jiaojiao's side, escalating the conflict.

The episode opens at a banquet where the female lead, Xu Fanxing, argues with her husband, Shen Xingchen, over a project proposal left by her mother. Her stepsister, Xu Jiaojiao, pretends to mediate but instead provokes her stepmother (aunt) and father, Xu Mingyuan, into verbally abusing Xu Fanxing. Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Fanxing publicly exposes the family scandal: her father's affair with her aunt, his role in her mother's death, and how he caused her deafness. She decisively severs ties with the Xu family. The scene shifts to the divorce registration office. After repeatedly withdrawing her divorce requests, Xu Fanxing finally makes up her mind. Shen Xingchen leaves midway due to a call from Xu Jiaojiao and mistakenly believes Xu Fanxing will compromise again. However, Xu Fanxing firmly requests a divorce from the staff.

After witnessing her husband Shen Xingchen's affair with the popular actress Xu Jiaojiao, the female lead, Xu Fanxing, is utterly disillusioned. Xu Jiaojiao plays the victim in front of the media, claiming to be genuinely in love with Shen Xingchen and slandering the wife, Xu Fanxing, as the "other woman." Faced with betrayal, Xu Fanxing doesn't make a scene. Instead, with a calm and resolute demeanor, amidst memories and reality intertwining, she packs all her belongings, including their once-sweet tokens of affection. Finally, she resolutely leaves the home, putting an end to this broken marriage.

This episode uses flashbacks and dreams to reveal that the male lead, Shen Xingchen, was saved by the female lead, Xu Fanxing, seven years ago, but he harbors doubts after waking up. The supporting female character, Xu Jiaojiao, jealous that Shen Xingchen called out Xu Fanxing's name in his dream, feigns distress over cyberbullying and successfully persuades Shen Xingchen to take her out for a change of scenery. Shen Xingchen agrees and coldly informs Xu Fanxing, causing her to lose all hope. On the road, Xu Fanxing's car passes by Shen Xingchen and Xu Jiaojiao's vehicle. She resolutely throws away her phone, determined to break free from her past completely.
