Episode 32 recap: Shen Yu Rong intended to commit wrongdoings and ended up in prison.
Xiao Heng told Xue Fang Fei to just enjoy life to the fullest as they parted ways. Si Tu Jiu Yue, who overheard this, was saddened. Xue Huai Yuan's condition has recovered well, and Si Tu Jiu Yue left her a prescription as Xue Huai Yuan prepared to return to the Da Zhao temple, hoping that Xue Fang Fei would cherish the people in front of her.
Si Tu Jiu Yue noticed that Xiao Heng wasn't wearing a bell and felt somewhat disappointed. The Prince of Da Zhao realized her thoughts and wanted to arrange a marriage between her and Hong Xiao Di, but Si Tu Jiu Yue did not want to be forced into it. Shen Yu Rong successfully completed the alliance meeting, and the Emperor was greatly pleased, so he held a banquet at home to entertain guests, including Xue Fang Fei's name on the guest list, which Shen's mother discovered.
Shen's mother tried to stop it, believing that Shen Yu Rong should not have made a mistake and was worried that Wan Ning would cause trouble for the Shen family. Shen Yu Rong remained calm and pretended to pour water for her, but he had actually added a sedative to the tea, temporarily calming her to sleep. Everyone congratulated Shen Yu Rong on becoming a favorite of the Emperor, toasting each other. Xue Fang Fei left alone, and when she passed by the woodshed, she suddenly recalled her past experience of being locked in the woodshed by the Shen family, causing her to space out.
Shen Yu Rong followed her, and Xue Fang Fei discovered him. Shen Yu Rong no longer wanted to pretend, and he knew that Xue Fang Fei was not Jiang Li. Xue Fang Fei was honest with him, and she understood that it was Shen's mother who had framed her, but she was disappointed in Shen Yu Rong's avoidance and tolerance. She knew that he still had a conscience and wanted him to personally apologize to the Emperor, to find his way back.
Shen Yu Rong was distressed and apologized to Xue Fang Fei, but he could not put Shen's mother and Shen Ru Yun in danger. Xue Fang Fei was furious, accusing him of being cowardly and timid, and wanting to expose his and Wan Ning's plot. Shen Yu Rong stopped her, telling her not to offend Wan Ning, and forcefully hugged her.
Xue Fang Fei struggled and shouted for him to let go, and Ye Shi Jie appeared, using a baton to knock her unconscious. Xue Fang Fei hoped he would not get involved and quickly left, telling him that offending Wan Ning would put the Ye family in danger. Ye Shi Jie insisted on not leaving, as he had already discovered that she was not Jiang Li, and directly called her Xue Fang Fei, wanting to help reveal the truth.
Xue Fang Fei pleaded with him to leave and not cause her more trouble. Shen's mother suddenly woke up, realizing she had been drugged, and quickly ran out of the room to find Shen Yu Rong. Everyone was unaware of the situation and followed Shen's mother in search, discovering that Xue Fang Fei had knocked Shen Yu Rong unconscious and was about to take him to the authorities.
Ye Shi Jie stepped forward to testify, saying that Shen Yu Rong had intended to commit wrongdoings against Xue Fang Fei, and Shen's mother fainted in shock.
After Mrs. Jiang found out, she hurriedly sent a message to Jiang Yunbai. When Jiang Yunbai returned, he did not want the Jiang family's reputation to be tarnished, and he also wanted to seek justice for Xue Fang Fei, fulfilling his responsibility as a father.
Wan Ning was released from the ban, and Hong Xiaodie deliberately revealed the assassin's matter, taking down the Imperial City Guard, wanting to see Wan Ning's expression. Wan Ning pretended to be calm, but upon hearing that Shen Yu Rong had defiled Xue Fang Fei, she could no longer suppress her inner turmoil and hurriedly left to find Shen Yu Rong at the Dali Temple.
Wan Ning admonished Shen Yu Rong, but Shen Yu Rong did not want to live anymore, as he was already weary of this life and only hoped that Wan Ning would spare the Shen family. Wan Ning became even more obsessed with and passionate for him, and she wanted to keep Shen Yu Rong, not letting him die easily. Xiao Heng suddenly returned and was displeased with her behavior.
Xue Fang Fei knew that Wan Ning would save Shen Yu Rong, and she wanted to involve Wan Ning. Xiao Heng felt that she had broken her promise to him twice, but Xue Fang Fei stated that she had her own sense of propriety and also wanted to help him. The King ordered Li Zhongnan to send a message to Wan Ning, asking her to eliminate Shen Yu Rong, but Wan Ning refused.
Xiao Heng was worried that Xue Fang Fei would not be able to withstand Wan Ning's counterattack and did not want her to be in danger. Hong Xiaodie was angry and warned him not to get emotionally involved, fearing it would affect their grand plan. Xiao Heng told him not to forget their original intention, and promised that the Xiao clan would protect him.
Ye Shijie wanted to continue helping Xue Fang Fei, not caring about her true identity, and supporting all her actions.
Wan Ning invited Xue Fang Fei to the manor, and Jiang Yunbai voluntarily accompanied her, but they were stopped at the door. Xue Fang Fei went in alone, and Wan Ning was playing the "Fallen Petals of Fragrant Plum Blossoms" on the zither, pretending to want to compete with her in music. Xue Fang Fei ruthlessly refused, believing that Wan Ning had harmed the innocent.
Wan Ning grabbed her neck, threatening to kill her. Wan Ning expressed that she liked Shen Yu Rong, and since he had passed the imperial examination and entered the palace, she was unwilling to let him fall into decline, so she wanted to pull Shen Yu Rong down and control him. Xue Fang Fei did not believe that Wan Ning could have such power, and thought she could not save Shen Yu Rong.
Wan Ning was not in a hurry, and wanted to take her to meet an old acquaintance.
