Shen Du stepped into Hongwen Pavilion, where the noise outside was deafening. Yan Xing and Pan Chi had cleverly staged a realistic "Han Shiyuan's escape" scene using the interplay of light and shadows. The scholars mistook it for reality, exclaiming that "Han Shiyuan" had fled. Shen Du, however, scrutinized the scene and questioned its authenticity. Despite Lan Guizhou’s attempts to deflect, the truth behind the fabricated scene was eventually revealed under Shen Du’s sharp gaze, and everything came to light.

Afterwards, Pan Chi quietly appeared, and Yan Xing expressed her gratitude. However, Shen Du, witnessing their cheerful interaction, felt a mix of emotions and left silently. Shen Du conducted a private investigation on Pan Chi, while Lan Guizhou was interrogated but remained tight-lipped. It turned out that Lan Guizhou had a grudge with a classmate over a poetry collection, mistakenly killed the classmate, and then blamed the missing Han Shiyuan for the crime, hiding his friends to avoid detection.

Yan Xing and Shen Du rushed to the western market, only to find bloodstains left by Lan Guizhou. Han Shiyuan had vanished. A signal flare cut through the night sky as Shen Du and Yan Xing raced on horseback. Yan Xing nearly stumbled as she dismounted. The two broke into a secret chamber to find Yan Caiwei and Han Shiyuan suspended in mid-air, surrounded by swirling moths, creating a strange atmosphere.

A mysterious woman appeared, claiming to be the former serial killer Chen Huo E, and declared that no one could obstruct her path to resurrection. Shen Du stepped forward to fight Chen Huo E, while Yan Xing cleverly avoided the confrontation. At a crucial moment, Han Shiyuan and Yan Caiwei were rescued, and Princess Yong’an’s assistance arrived. Zhang Baohuan conveyed the princess’s intentions, which seemed to hold deeper meaning regarding Han Shiyuan, raising Shen Du’s suspicions.

Afterward, Shen Du and Yan Xing exchanged views, both feeling that the relationship between Han Shiyuan, Princess Yong’an, and Zhang Baohuan was complex, while Yan Caiwei seemed to be kept in the dark. Shen Du made it clear that he had no intention of making things difficult for Yan Caiwei, and Yan Xing, feeling remorseful for having bitten Shen Du out of urgency, deeply apologized.

Yan Xing returned to the crime scene, where Shen Du thoughtfully provided candles to aid in her investigation of Chen Huo E’s arson. As the investigation progressed, Chen Huo E was captured, and her claims of resurrection bore striking similarities to those of Lady Tang, suggesting a deeper conspiracy or identity swap behind the case.

Both Yan Xing and Shen Du felt the gravity of the situation, with the sinister hand behind the scenes seemingly closing in, and its cruelty was chilling. Elsewhere, Lu Chuichui encountered a masked man at her mother’s grave, who, despite the conversation, was revealed to be Jiang Langxing. Yan Xing, feeling guilty for injuring Shen Du, carefully tended to his wound, which inadvertently became sensitive.

In the confusion, Yan Xing mistakenly immersed Shen Du’s hand in her own bath, an incident that unexpectedly brought them closer. Shen Du was deeply moved by Yan Xing’s innocence and care, his heart stirred. Meanwhile, Yan Xing reminisced about Shen Du’s bravery from years past, and their feelings began to quietly grow. The next day, Wu Zhushi remained absorbed in the strange tale of Chen Huo E’s "resurrection," while Lu Chuichui submitted her report as usual.

Yan Xing wished to delve deeper but was politely refused by Wu Zhushi. At that moment, Lai Luozhi unexpectedly appeared, offering to borrow Yan Xing’s help. Although Shen Du did not agree, Lai Luozhi gladly accepted. However, after careful consideration, Yan Xing ultimately declined Lai Luozhi’s offer. Lai Luozhi, seeing this, did not press the matter further and left. Meanwhile, Han Shiyuan had an unexpected encounter with Princess Yong’an in the market.

The princess’s gaze fell on the medicine bag he carried, revealing her respect and fulfillment regarding Han Shiyuan. Yet, as she turned to leave, the Buddhist beads in her hand broke, reflecting inner turmoil. This subtle scene seemed to foreshadow deeper emotional entanglements about to surface.
