The Huahua Stream regained its lively atmosphere as various dye houses came to wash their silk. Ji Yingying, distracted, prepared her dye. She struggled to suppress her traumatic memories, determined to create a red dye. However, when she saw the flowing red dye, she was reminded once again of the moment Ji Guinan was executed. Zhu Xiaoniang passed by and noticed Ji Yingying nearly fainting. She advised her to stop pushing herself.

Ji Yingying, unwilling to give up, insisted on completing her new dye formula, having worked hard to develop a method to fix the color. Zhu Xiaoniang offered to help mix the formula, and Ji Yingying had no choice but to guide her from the side. At the bustling Dou Fangfei event, Yang Jinglan instructed Zhuge Hong to draft a notice promoting fair and honest transactions at the venue.

Hua Xiangrong tried to curry favor with Yang Jinglan but was dismissed by him. Zhu Xiaoniang still hoped to participate in Dou Fangfei. Unable to bear her disappointment, Sang Shisi decided to use his connections to sneak her into the event. Yang Jinglan noticed an empty booth and learned that its original owner, the Liu family, had withdrawn due to an unexpected illness. Some dye house owners tried bribing Yang Jinglan to secure the booth.

Hua Rong, following her employer’s orders, tested Yang Jinglan’s limits with a bribe. Although Yang Jinglan publicly accepted the gifts, he did not assign the booth to them and warned them not to break the law. Hua Rong was displeased, feeling tricked by Yang Jinglan. Sang Shisi swaggered into the event but was caught by Yang Jinglan, who confined him to prevent trouble. Zhuge Hong noticed Ji Yingying’s absence and assumed she had given up, but Yang Jinglan disagreed.

Suddenly, flower-decorated silk rained down from the sky—Ji Yingying had been in the attic all along, tossing flower balls. Yang Jinglan and the others followed her to the attic, where her flower balls dyed with the new formula captivated everyone. Other dye house owners wanted to place orders for the new color, but Hua Rong intervened, criticizing the dye for not being registered and thus not compliant with regulations.

Ji Yingying declared that the new color was called *Zhuyan Tuo* (Crimson Glow). Hua Rong’s remarks caused some concern, but the Yang family matriarch stepped in, paying a deposit to support Ji Yingying. Yang Jinglan, however, punished Ji Yingying by making her clean the venue, saying her flower balls amazed the crowd but failed to win their hearts. Late that night, Yang Jinglan brought out imperial silk for Ji Yingying to examine.

Ji Yingying recognized it as a counterfeit, explaining that the real imperial silk required a complex fixing process. Yang Jinglan’s words inspired Ji Yingying, and Yu Linglong delivered her a warming soup. As the repayment deadline approached, Hua Rong arrived at the Ji residence to demand payment, threatening to make Ji Yingying work off the debt if she couldn’t pay. Ji Yingying offered to supply *Zhuyan Tuo* for free and share profits, but Hua Rong refused.

Left with no choice, Ji Yingying accepted all pre-orders for *Zhuyan Tuo*, tore up the IOU in Hua Rong’s hand, and finally cleared all the Ji family’s debts. Hua Rong, however, had a backup plan. She had bribed officials from the Brocade Bureau to discredit Ji Yingying’s *Zhuyan Tuo*. Ji Yingying visited the Zhao family, where the Zhao patriarch expressed interest in purchasing *Zhuyan Tuo* and praised its vibrant hue, noting that the Yang family had placed an order first.

Ji Xuanshi felt vindicated but still cautioned Ji Yingying, fearing she might face mistreatment in the Zhao family. Zhao Xiuyuan came to meet Ji Yingying for a date. During their conversation, Ji Yingying shared her dreams, expressing a desire to reconcile with Chen Sanlang and the others first. Ji Yingying visited them one by one, but they refused to listen to her. Feeling dejected, she went to a tavern to drink and unexpectedly ran into Yang Jinglan again.

Zhu Xiaoniang brought Ji Yingying to Huahua Stream, but Chen Sanlang and the others avoided her. Zhu Xiaoniang stepped in to persuade them. When Ji Yingying was bullied by people from other dye houses, Chen Sanlang and his group came to her rescue upon hearing the commotion. After the fight, Ji Yingying apologized to Chen Sanlang and the others, proposing to reorganize the silk-dyeing association and naming it the *Feihua Society* (Flying Flower Society).
