Katherine Taylor woke up inside a book—her husband was in a coma, the rest of his family was dead, leaving only her and his two siblings. Her brother-in-law was a rebellious rich kid, her sister-in-law a hopeless lovesick fool; the whole family was doomed to fail and die, paving the way for someone else to inherit a billion-dollar fortune. Katherine: Huh? Her three life goals—Glowing up, getting paid, watching her husband laid—just came true overnight? No one’s taking that inheritance from her. Touch her money, and she’ll take your life. But wait—why did her supposedly dead husband just open his eyes?

In the hospital ward, Lin Yahhan and other members of the second branch, including Lin Xiuyuan, heap abuse on Shu Jiaran, who is guarding the unconscious Lin Yutian's bedside. Lin Yahhan mocks Shu Jiaran for feigning deep affection and falsely accuses her of stealing a ring worth tens of millions, attempting to search her handbag. Shu Jiaran not only slaps Lin Yahhan in public but also agrees to the search with the wager that she will eat feces live if the ring is not found. As it turns out, the bag is empty, and the ring "miraculously" appears on the lawn outside. After the conflict temporarily subsides, Lin Xiuyuan shamelessly confesses his love to Shu Jiaran, using Lin Yutian's potential permanent coma as an excuse to rekindle their past relationship, but is met with a cold stare.

While Lin Yutian is unconscious, Lin Xiuyuan attempts to seduce his sister-in-law, Shu Jiaran, in the hospital room. Instead of falling for his advances, Shu Jiaran publicly mocks him and demands millions as "payment." Afterward, Lin Yutian's assistant, Zhao Wei, delivers a falsified medical report. Shu Jiaran stages a "deeply emotional farewell" at Lin Yutian's bedside before leaving. After Shu Jiaran departs, Lin Yutian, who was in a "vegetative state," immediately sits up, revealing his plan to feign illness and "lure the snakes out of their holes." He then instructs Zhao Wei to continue investigating the true culprit who framed him.

Shu Jiarán is deeply shocked by the extravagance of the Lin family mansion upon entering. She marvels at the limited-edition designer bags in the walk-in closet and even indulges in fantasies of a wealthy lifestyle where eight "puppy boy" butlers gently wake her. In reality, however, she falls asleep while soaking in the bathtub with red wine. All of this is being monitored in real-time by Lin Yutian, who is in a hospital ward, through his tablet. Lin Yutian finds her dramatic antics both speechless and amusing. Finally, Lin Yutian returns home and carries the sleeping Shu Jiarán from the bathtub to her room.

After getting drunk, Shu Jiaran loses her composure and teases Lin Yutian relentlessly in a "dream," calling him a "puppy" and even touching him inappropriately. Seeing his wife, who is like a different person, Lin Yutian's heart wavers, and he decides to stop holding back and go with the flow. The next day, after waking up, Shu Jiaran finds herself in Lin Yutian's bed with a splitting headache. She mistakenly believes everything that happened last night was just an absurd dream about her "vegetative" husband, feeling immensely ashamed. To distract herself, she decides to go out and start a "shopping spree," hoping to numb herself with consumption.

Shu Jiarán enters a luxury boutique and activates her "rich lady" mode, shopping extravagantly. Her goal is to intimidate the Lin family's collateral branches with her wealth, solidifying her position to inherit the estate. During her shopping spree, she receives a call from her second aunt, who falsely apologizes on behalf of her daughter, Lin Yahan, and invites her to a dinner party. Shu Jiarán decides to attend, planning her counterattack. Meanwhile, her husband, Lin Yutian, who is hiding his identity and wearing a mask, appears at the mall accompanied by his assistant, Zhao Wei. Witnessing Shu Jiarán spending money like water, a stark contrast to her seemingly devoted demeanor by his bedside yesterday, Lin Yutian inwardly makes a snarky remark. At the end of the episode, Shu Jiarán encounters them and mistakenly identifies her own husband as a newly hired bodyguard for Zhao Wei, casually "inspecting" him, leading to an awkward and subtle atmosphere.

Shu Jiaran makes a strong comeback to the Lin family dinner, seeing through her second aunt's hypocritical facade of caring for Lin Qiaoan and Lin Yinannan while actually coveting their shares. Facing Lin Qiaoan's provocation, Shu Jiaran is ruthless, slapping him in public and ordering him to work at a construction site for experience. At the same time, she holds Lin Yinannan, who is blinded by love, hostage by threatening to cut off his credit card. Her second aunt tries to assert authority as an elder, but Shu Jiaran counters with even more commanding dominance. Finally, Shu Jiaran turns the tables, demanding Lin Yahan to come in and apologize in person, showcasing the absolute authority of the Lin family's matriarch.

This episode focuses on the Second Branch of the Lin family's scheme and Lin Yutian's covert counterattack. Siblings Lin Yahhan and Lin Xiuyuan plot to seize the family fortune by drugging Shu Jiaran and eliminating Lin Yutian while he is "unconscious." However, Lin Yutian has long been awake and has deployed surveillance with his assistant Zhao Wei. At the banquet, the Second Branch members feign apologies and bring up old matters to humiliate Shu Jiaran. Lin Yahhan seizes the opportunity to drug Shu Jiaran's wine, inducing her to drink it. Although Shu Jiaran perceives their intimidation tactic, she chooses to drink the wine and then leave the venue, luring the enemy deeper.

After attending a banquet and having only one drink, Shu Jiarán feels dizzy and suspects her drink was tampered with. Just as she tries to call a designated driver, Lin Xiǔyuǎn appears and forcibly takes her to a hotel. Upon discovering Shu Jiarán's disappearance, Lin Yútiān quickly tracks her down using vehicle GPS. Inside the hotel room, Lin Xiǔyuǎn ignores Shu Jiarán's identity as his "sister-in-law" and attempts to assault her, spewing vulgar insults. At the critical moment, Lin Yútiān kicks down the door, rescues Shu Jiarán just in time, and angrily punishes Lin Xiǔyuǎn.
