As night fell, Yan Xing continued to practice the piano diligently, her mind filled with the image of her mother's careful guidance. Despite her fatigue, she remained resolute. Shen Du happened to come in and saw her in this state, advising her to abandon her obsession with pursuing the murderer.

Yan Xing, however, remained determined, instructing her servants to bring some candied fruit to ease her exhaustion while firmly expressing her resolve: she vowed to bring the culprit to justice and lure them out, refusing to back down. Yan Xing then cleverly devised a plan to have Shen Du introduce her to Wu Zhushi and proposed that she disguise herself as his beloved wife to lure out the real culprit.

Although Wu Zhushi was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree. Yan Xing quickly changed into her costume, making a stunning appearance at the banquet, which drew everyone's attention. Even the Empress Dowager, who was present, praised her outfit. During the banquet, Yan Xing took the opportunity to announce that she would perform herself. Her piano performance was enchanting and quickly became the center of attention.

After her performance, the applause was thunderous, but Yan Xing suddenly detected a strange fragrance and was soon enveloped in a hallucination, being quietly taken away by a man in black. Noticing Yan Xing’s disappearance, Shen Du was frantic and immediately began searching for her. Wu Zhushi, however, was completely unaware of what had happened.

Guided by the man in black, Yan Xing seemed to be transported back to her childhood, with memories and reality intertwining, making it difficult to discern what was real. The man in black remained mysterious, revealing his deep resentment towards the world’s injustices. Yan Xing tried to buy time and find a way to escape but was threatened by the man in black who strangled her.

At this critical moment, Shen Du arrived like a divine savior and rescued Yan Xing from the clutches of death. Yan Xing, with tears in her eyes, was deeply touched by Shen Du’s concern. It turned out that Yan Xing had previously sprinkled bean powder on her clothes to leave a trail for Shen Du to follow. Later, Jing Lin revealed the true identity of the man in black, who turned out to be someone well-known.

Despite her weakened state, Yan Xing held on, waiting for this moment. However, just as the truth was about to be revealed, Yan Xing collapsed from exhaustion. The intense confrontation came to an end with Yan Xing's wisdom and Shen Du’s bravery, but the conspiracy and the full truth still awaited further discovery. Only an hour after Yan Xing woke up, she learned that the murderer was actually Madam Tang, which shocked the Empress Dowager.

Yan Xing volunteered to personally interrogate Madam Tang. Lu Chuichui was deeply concerned, but Yan Xing was confident, believing she could touch Madam Tang's heart. Facing the Empress Dowager’s doubts, Yan Xing slowly revealed Madam Tang’s motive for the murders: the victims were all betrayers, having both a marriage engagement and committing infidelity. Yan Xing intentionally mentioned the crucial date of the solar term day, provoking Madam Tang’s emotional breakdown.

Shen Du, understanding the situation, cooperated seamlessly, creating an affectionate atmosphere to attempt to break down Madam Tang's psychological defenses. At this point, Xu Xiangren arrived with new discoveries, presenting evidence from the corpse and a sketch.

Yan Xing displayed the sketch publicly, which caused Madam Tang to become agitated and attempt to seize it, tearfully recounting her past: her sister was abducted, returned only to be involved with her husband, and on the solar term day, she mistakenly poisoned her husband with wine, leading to her sister’s disappearance. In the end, she clung to her husband’s corpse at the grave, with tragedy compounding. Everyone was moved by her story.

Madam Tang completely broke down, her jealousy and desire for revenge twisting her into a killer whenever she saw someone resembling her sister. She confessed to Shen Du that there was nothing wrong with loving deeply and that couples should support each other. Surprisingly, this sentiment resonated with both the Empress Dowager and Xu Wan, while Shen Du held Yan Xing’s hand tightly, his expression complex. Madam Tang attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the fire but was stopped.

Shen Du took Yan Xing home. Although Yan Xing feared reproach, Shen Du treated her with forgiveness. They both reflected on the case and the direction of public sentiment. Yan Xing visited Madam Tang again, hoping to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes but found her to be insane, uttering only the phrase "moth to the flame.

" Yan Xing knew that there must be hidden secrets behind the case, but the clues were now lost, and Madam Tang was to be executed the following day. Xiao Zhong returned, expressing gratitude for Yan Xing's wisdom and bravery, and acknowledging her as the key to solving the case.
