After Su Ruoshan finished playing, the judges deliberated and concluded that her performance was not as good as Su Ruofei's. However, because Su Ruofei had allegedly set fire to the instrument room, she was disqualified, and Su Ruoshan was declared the winner. Just then, someone arrived with evidence. It was discovered that a significant amount of lamp oil had been found at the scene, more than usual. Someone then mentioned that Su Ruofei had borrowed lamp oil from them.

Su Ruofei explained that she had spilled her sister’s oil and had borrowed some as a result. However, when they checked Su Ruoshan’s lamp oil, it was all there. Su Ruoshan refused to speak on Su Ruofei’s behalf and even accused her of lying, stating that her lamp oil had never been spilled.

Every lamp oil container had its owner’s name on it, and Yun Shang asked everyone to check the bottom of the container, which indeed had Su Ruoshan’s name. Su Ruoshan confidently told everyone that her lamp oil had never been spilled. With no other choice, the officer took Su Ruofei back into custody, as she remained the primary suspect. Yun Mu reassured Su Ruofei to trust him and follow the officer for now, promising to uncover the truth.

Jin Shangyu chased after the officer, attempting to stop them from taking Su Ruofei, but Yun Shang intervened, ordering the officer to arrest anyone who interfered. Not wanting to implicate Jin Shangyu, Su Ruofei willingly followed the officer. In the cell, tears streamed down Su Ruofei’s face as she repeatedly thought about Su Ruoshan's words, confused as to why she would treat her so harshly.

Meanwhile, Yun Mu stayed in his room to investigate the root of the issue, sending Xiao Qi to gather information about Su Ruofei. Yun Mu was certain Su Ruofei had been framed, but without concrete evidence or knowing who was behind it, he couldn’t understand why anyone would harbor such animosity toward an innocent girl. Still, Yun Mu swore to bring Su Ruofei back.

The lord and his wife were watching the musicians perform, and Lady Yaoshan praised Su Ruoshan, having also heard that Yun Mu had once publicly kissed a girl with the surname Su at Huan Yue Fang. She assumed it was Su Ruoshan, and the lord’s opinion of Su Ruoshan improved. The lord praised Yun Mu for his essential role in selecting musicians for the event and rewarded those who performed well.

He especially praised Su Ruoshan, seeing her as a promising candidate for the position of chief musician. He believed Su Ruoshan had the same grace as Lady Yaoshan in her youth. The lord then suggested giving a grand gift to both Yun Mu and Su Ruoshan, strongly implying a potential marriage arrangement. Yun Shang overheard this and quickly pulled Yun Mu aside, scolding him for getting involved with Su Ruoshan.

Yun Mu suggested they go speak to the lord to clarify things. Yun Shang explained to the lord that he and Su Ruoshan were mutually in love, while Yun Mu was actually in love with Su Ruofei. Upon hearing Su Ruofei’s name, the lord immediately recalled that she was the one accused of burning down the instrument room.

In Huan Yue City, such a crime was a serious offense, and the lord declared that Su Ruofei was unworthy of Yun Mu. Yun Mu tried to argue, but the lord was too angry to listen and insisted that a decree for the marriage would be issued in a few days. Yun Mu knelt in the side hall for an entire night, refusing to leave or eat.

When Lady Yaoshan learned of this, she chastised the lord for not caring about Yun Mu. The lord argued that he was only granting the marriage because of Lady Yaoshan’s suggestion, but he wasn’t heartless. However, he also felt that he couldn’t go back on his word. Lady Yaoshan blamed herself for mismatching the couple and vowed to kneel alongside Yun Mu if the lord didn’t forgive him.

Although the lord loved his wife, he still insisted that Su Ruofei could not be with Yun Mu and should be banished from Huan Yue City. Lady Yaoshan went to comfort Yun Mu and learned from him that he didn’t like Su Ruoshan at all but truly loved Su Ruofei.

Lady Yaoshan reflected on how the lord had become a great ruler after marrying her, the chief musician, and hoped that Yun Mu would also marry someone of high standing to secure his position. She then informed Yun Mu that the lord had decided to banish Su Ruofei, considering it the best outcome.

Yun Shang, who had been waiting outside, found out that the issue remained unresolved and immediately declared that he wouldn’t let Su Ruoshan be taken by anyone else. Yun Mu then went to Su Ruoshan and told her that they couldn’t be together, as it would only cause harm. He promised to do anything for her except marry her.

Su Ruoshan, however, expressed that she had spent years dreaming of being with the young jadeite boy, and seeing Yun Mu made her want nothing more than his heart. Unable to convince her, Yun Mu had no choice but to leave. Su Ruoshan’s second personality appeared in the mirror, reminding her that emotions didn’t matter, and her ultimate goal was to advance in her career.

Su Ruoshan had originally concocted the night-blooming flower scent to please Lady Yaoshan, but it had unexpectedly come in handy. She had also planned the chandelier incident, and this latest scheme was no accident either. Yun Mu, feeling helpless and defeated, blamed himself for not being able to protect the one he loved. Though he knew Su Ruoshan was innocent, he couldn’t exonerate her. Desperate, Yun Shang ordered Master Huang to lead an assassination attempt on Yun Mu.

Master Huang hesitated, concerned that this would expose them, but Yun Shang, blinded by love, didn’t care. He had spared Yun Mu before out of sentiment, but now, for the sake of love, he was determined to kill Yun Mu.
