Jiang Xiaoyuan practiced all night in Chen Fangzhou's office, startling him the next day. She couldn't figure out where she went wrong; every haircut turned out differently. Chen Fangzhou, helpless, sent her back to sleep, but Jiang Xiaoyuan collapsed after a few steps. Despite a high fever, she insisted on practicing, as she had nothing left, and only excellence could prevent her from being ignored. In this world, no one cared about her, and she feared that if Chen Fangzhou knew she wasn't the original Jiang Xiaoyuan, he would despise her like Qi Lian.

That night, Qi Lian brought food, even if Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't want to eat, her body needed nutrition. Jiang Xiaoyuan, with teary eyes, ate the plain congee under his gaze, reminding Qi Lian of the time she ate in tears, having suffered grievances. They were both fond of putting on a brave front. Qi Lian's words provoked Jiang Xiaoyuan, and suddenly she smashed the bowl, asserting that crossing was not her fault, so why was Qi Lian angry with her!

Qi Lian received a call, and later knocked on the door, saying that Jiang's grandmother suddenly fell ill in the afternoon but was saved. Qi Lian requested Jiang Xiaoyuan to call her grandmother, considering it a favor returned. However, Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't do it; her grandmother died before she was born, and her parents never cared for her. Softening his approach, Qi Lian pleaded once again for Jiang Xiaoyuan's help. She eventually relented, and Jiang's grandmother, hearing Jiang Xiaoyuan's voice, became emotional, causing tears to flow from Jiang Xiaoyuan's eyes. After the call, Qi Lian said he was looking for a way to send her back but warned it wouldn't be quick. Jiang Xiaoyuan needed to prepare for an extended stay in this world. As for the junior stylist exam, she didn't need to push herself too hard.

The next day was the promotion exam. Chen Fangzhou asked Qi Lian to come and show support, but Qi Lian felt that Jiang Xiaoyuan might not want to see him. Despite this, Qi Lian still showed up the next day. Both Jiang Xiaoyuan and Xiao K registered for the assessment, scoring full marks on the theoretical part. In the practical section, Jiang Xiaoyuan received the advanced stylist test, making Chen Fangzhou realize that Qi Lian had switched the questions. Qi Lian stated that if Jiang Xiaoyuan wanted to prove herself, she should strive for absolute fairness. Xiao K's speed was impressive, and while Jiang Xiaoyuan was doing well, her speed was not fast enough.

With only five minutes left, Jiang Xiaoyuan's hairpin broke. However, she improvised by tying a scarf around her hair to create a unique hairstyle. Despite this creative touch, Helen argued that Jiang Xiaoyuan's mistake was too noticeable. Qi Lian agreed, and they didn't approve Jiang Xiaoyuan's assessment. The winner was Xiao K. Frustrated, Jiang Xiaoyuan confronted Qi Lian, questioning if it was so difficult to acknowledge her excellence.
