Huang Ying and Jin Shangyu came to visit Su Ruofei. Su Ruofei told them that Su Ruoshan had framed her but didn’t understand why she was being set up. Huang Ying, speaking too quickly, also revealed the news about the lord's arranged marriage, causing Su Ruofei to tear up. She guessed that the reason for the framing was that Su Ruoshan wanted to marry Yun Mu.

Yun Mu carefully inspected the place where the chandelier had fallen and discovered marks on the bamboo from the strings of an instrument, suspecting that Su Ruoshan had orchestrated the event and wondering what her true motives were. People at Huan Yue Fang gossiped, believing Su Ruofei to be a villain, but both Jin Shangyu and Huang Ying defended her. Yun Mu teamed up with the two of them to cautiously investigate Su Ruoshan.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qi was poisoned and injured, remaining unconscious. After examining him, the doctor predicted that he might stay unconscious for several more days. Yun Mu took good care of him. Lord Huang's men were behind the attack on Xiao Qi. Hearing that Xiao Qi had only been injured, Lord Huang felt satisfied, thinking that Yun Mu had lost a key ally, and it was now time to eliminate Yun Mu.

Yun Mu had a nightmare in which Yun Shang captured Su Ruofei for Su Ruoshan and killed her. He woke up in a fright. Su Ruoshan came to visit Su Ruofei in her cell and told her that she could leave, but her musician registration had been revoked, and she had to leave the area.

With only the two of them there, Su Ruoshan dropped her facade and revealed her true nature, admitting that she was only after the position of chief musician. She told Su Ruofei that none of this would have happened if Su Ruofei hadn’t come here. At that moment, Yun Mu arrived and took Su Ruofei’s hand, leading her away, leaving Su Ruoshan visibly disappointed.

Su Ruofei explained that she didn’t commit the crime, and Yun Mu believed her, but he felt powerless because all the evidence pointed to her. Yun Mu suggested that Su Ruofei should leave, as that would be the best option. Su Ruofei, heartbroken, cried as she looked at Yun Mu, thinking that he wanted her gone so he could marry Su Ruoshan.

Su Ruoshan wanted to go explain the situation to the lord, but Yun Mu stopped her, believing that no one would listen to Su Ruofei’s words. He ordered his subordinates to escort Su Ruofei out of Huan Yue City without any stops. As Su Ruofei left, she cried and couldn’t help but look back at Yun Mu, who coldly turned away and walked back inside.

Su Ruofei, drenched in the heavy rain, left, while Yun Mu hid behind the door, crying. On the street, Jin Shangyu and Huang Ying encountered the guards escorting Su Ruofei. Jin Shangyu volunteered to escort her himself, assuring the guards that he would take responsibility if anything went wrong, and the guards left. Su Ruofei, persuaded by Jin Shangyu, decided to return to Lu Guang Music House, where Shi Yi and Ah Biao were waiting.

Huang Ying also agreed to join them. Lord Huang felt that an assassination attempt at this time would be unwise, suspecting that Yun Mu was setting a trap. However, Yun Shang pressured Lord Huang to act, claiming that Yun Mu was celebrating his upcoming marriage to Su Ruoshan since Su Ruofei had already been sent away. Although Lord Huang sensed danger, he couldn’t resist Yun Shang's urging and left with a resolute expression, ready to face death.

Huang Ying, Jin Shangyu, and Su Ruofei drank together, and Huang Ying, without realizing it, got drunk. Craving some candied hawthorn, Jin Shangyu quickly went out to buy some. Huang Ying smugly thought that Jin Shangyu must like her but was too stubborn to admit it. At that moment, they overheard people discussing how Yun Mu's residence had been attacked by assassins and that Yun Mu was injured.

Huang Ying, anxious with worry, asked someone to take care of Huang Ying and rushed back. Lord Huang had indeed fallen into the trap and was captured by Xiao Qi, who revealed that he had faked his injury and poisoning earlier to lure Yun Shang into making a move. Upon realizing it was Lord Huang behind the plot, Xiao Qi’s suspicions were confirmed.

Lord Huang, using a special fire pill called Huo Lin Wan, set himself on fire, reducing his body to ashes and leaving no evidence for Yun Mu. Yun Shang was devastated when he heard the news. He wanted to rescue Lord Huang, but the guards stopped him, telling him that Lord Huang knew he wouldn’t return when he left.

Lord Huang had also instructed Yun Shang to take good care of Yun Mu and to protect him for the rest of his life. Yun Mu was filled with guilt. Su Ruofei came to Yun Mu's room and saw the jadeite stone, surprised to find it there. Upon questioning, they realized that Su Ruofei was the real jadeite youth, and she had named the stone.

Su Ruofei recalled their first meeting in the woods, when they had split the jadeite in half with plans to cultivate it and use it as a symbol of their encounter. However, the larger piece had been taken by Yun Mu, which led Su Ruofei to nickname him “the stingy ghost. ”Su Ruofei took out her pan flute and played the song she had played the first time they met.

Yun Mu, moved, embraced Su Ruofei, realizing that it was really her all along. However, they couldn’t understand why the jadeite had ended up with Su Ruoshan. Su Ruofei had thought she lost the jadeite but was shocked to discover that Su Ruoshan had been using it to impersonate her. Su Ruofei had mistakenly believed that Yun Mu had sent her away because of his feelings for the jadeite girl.

Yun Mu explained that he was forced to act by the lord’s orders, but Su Ruofei was even more heartbroken. She left in tears, thinking Yun Mu had abandoned her for wealth and the jadeite girl. As Su Ruofei walked away, Yun Mu reached out to stop her but, in the end, didn’t extend his hand.
