Episode 2 recap: In the middle of the night, Xie Yun warmed Yin Ji's body.
Xie Yun rushed to the factory gate, but just as he was about to reach the gate, his clothes were pierced by an arrow and the token in his hand fell to the ground. Xie Yun desperately tried to pick up the token, but Yin Ji directly split the token in half. Even now, Yin Ji still couldn't let it go, and Xie Yun said that Yin Ji had promised him a three-year deadline to leave.
Yin Ji said that since Xie Yun had already become a servant here, he would be here for the rest of his life, and Xiao Baobao was quite happy to see Xie Yun in this state. Xie Yun knelt on the ground, and at night they heard someone shouting to summon the imperial physician, as Yin Ji had been seriously injured in an assassination attempt. The assassin had been caught, and Yin Ji's condition was still critical, but he had survived for now. Xue Baobao fainted at the sight of the blood, so the butler could only ask Xie Yun to take care of Yin Ji, as he was the only one he could trust.
As heavy snow fell outside, Xie Yun came to Yin Ji's room. Seeing Yin Ji's pained expression and hearing him say he was cold, Xie Yun gently stroked him, which seemed to soothe Yin Ji a bit. Xie Yun then drank an entire bottle of wine, took off her outer garments, and used her body heat to warm Yin Ji. Xie Yun knew that this was the only moment Yin Ji truly belonged to her.
Years ago, Yin Ji had knelt at the gate, and due to the cold weather, he had fainted. Now, Xie Yun was saving Yin Ji in order to repay a debt, and after this, they would be even.
The next morning, when Yin Ji woke up, he saw Xiao Baobao by his side, but he had felt that it was Xie Yun who had been with him the previous night. He asked the butler about Xie Yun's whereabouts, but he did not dare to tell the truth, especially with Xiao Baobao present.
Xiao Baobao claimed that he had kept Yin Ji company all night, but Yin Ji did not believe him, as Xiao Baobao was known to faint at the sight of blood. Qi Yan came to inform Yin Ji that the recent incident was the work of the Zhu family, as they usually did not get involved in such conflicts, but for some reason, they had seen Yin Ji as an enemy.
Qi Yan felt sympathetic towards the current Xie Yun, as they had once been friends. Yin Ji questioned Xie Yun about her absence when he needed her the most, and Xie Yun replied that the Madam of the city was by his side, and that she had nothing to do with him. Yin Ji was furious, and Xiao Baobao quickly brought out his own brewed wine, asking Xie Yun to pour it for them, as the two deliberately acted affectionate.
