In this episode, Lin Que, the female lead seeking revenge for her father, deliberately bumps into Mu Jiuzhou, known as "Master Nine," the male lead, on the neon-lit streets. Under the guise of her superb card-handling skills, she successfully steals his important invitation. Master Nine immediately sees through Lin Que's "borrowing beams to replace pillars" trick, trapping her in front of his car for a tense confrontation. He tests her abilities by having her identify cards blindfolded. Lin Que not only accurately identifies the "Royal Flush in Hearts" but also cleverly defines the last card as her own "good fortune," gaining the upper hand in this initial clash of wit and charm, showcasing her extraordinary courage and skill.

The episode opens with Lin Que showcasing her extraordinary memory at a card game, catching the attention of influential figures from both the underworld and legitimate society, including Ninth Master (Mu Jiuzhou). Seeking revenge for her father, Lin Que infiltrates the tiger's den, arriving at the casino of "盅王" Long Wu, a subordinate of her enemy, Ghost Master. Without chips, she gambles away a month of her "use rights" for sponsorship. Ninth Master unexpectedly appears and "buys" her with a single chip, a move that, while seemingly humiliating, grants her entry into the game. Seizing this opportunity, Lin Que challenges Long Wu, vowing to win the entire table with one chip, shatter his undefeated legend, and take the first step in her revenge.

In a high-end casino, the protagonist Lin Que, under the alias "Jiang Xia," challenges Long Wu, the Dice King under Boss Gui, to a game of "higher or lower." She initially feigns weakness, leading Long Wu and the onlookers to underestimate her. However, at the critical moment, she defeats Long Wu with a massive bet and her inherited skill, "Clearing Clouds and Playing the Moon," stunning the entire venue. Observing from upstairs, Jiu Ye Mu Jiuzhou recognizes the move and becomes intensely interested in Lin Que's mysterious identity. After the game, Lin Que is summoned by Boss Gui. Mu Jiuzhou outwardly claims not to interfere but secretly orders his subordinates to investigate her background.

The episode opens with the female lead, Lin Que, using the alias "Jiang Xia" to feign weakness and approach her target, "Ghost Master," quickly subduing him. During their confrontation, Lin Que reveals that the "Ghost Master" before her is merely a double and demands the whereabouts of the real one. Under duress, the double discloses that the true Ghost Master never appears in person due to numerous enemies. Lin Que then makes her escape, triggering a full pursuit by the Ghost Master's subordinates. While fleeing down a corridor, Lin Que is pulled into a room by the male lead, Mu Jiuzhou, resulting in a wall-slamming embrace, setting the stage for their relationship and future plot developments.

Mu Jiuzhou cornered Lin Que in the room, demanding to know her true motive for approaching Master Gui. Lin Que initially tried to brush it off by claiming she was caught cheating, but Mu Jiuzhou didn't believe her and threatened to cut off her hands. At this moment, Master Gui's men arrived to apprehend them. Mu Jiuzhou used this crisis to intensify his pressure, hiding Lin Que behind him. Under Mu Jiuzhou's extreme duress, Lin Que was finally forced to admit that she had a vendetta against Master Gui.

To avenge her father, the female lead Lin Que, under the alias Jiang Xia, sneaks into the room of Master Mu Jiuzhou, only to be caught red-handed. Mu Jiuzhou becomes suspicious of Jiang Xia's identity and investigates, mistakenly believing she is the daughter of his enemy. Through flashbacks, their deep gratitude between Mu Jiuzhou and Lin Shu, Jiang Xia's father, is revealed. Mu Jiuzhou decides to use Jiang Xia in the "Sparrow King Competition" to avenge Lin Shu. To get closer to her father's killer, Ghost Master, Jiang Xia pretends to cooperate with Mu Jiuzhou. Amidst testing and maneuvering, they embark on a revenge journey filled with coercion and misunderstandings.

To test Lin Que's abilities, Mu Jiuzhou (Master Jiu) arranges a mahjong match called "Snatching the Sparrow" between her and his top subordinate, Sister Thirteen. Sister Thirteen, with her superior skills and imposing presence, quickly gains the upper hand, overwhelming Lin Que. Onlookers begin to doubt Master Jiu's judgment, believing Lin Que to be a fraud, while Lin Que faces immense pressure to prove herself.
