Su Ruoshan and Jin Shangyu led their band, performing in the streets with unique and innovative instruments, gaining much praise from the onlookers. Colleagues from Fantasy Music Hall, upon hearing the performance, were full of admiration and actively chatted with Su Ruoshan, remarking that she didn’t resemble her elder sister at all. Shi Yi nearly revealed Su Ruoshan’s true identity, but Su Ruofei stopped him.

The colleagues who heard the performance later went back and praised Su Ruofei's playing, dismissing previous rumors. They believed Yun Mu truly loved Su Ruofei, as evidenced by the fact that no marriage decree had been issued and Yun Mu had traveled a great distance to find her. Su Ruoshan overheard this conversation and, seeing that everyone wanted to listen to the performance, stepped in to stop them, sarcastically dismissing the performance as mere attention-seeking and lowbrow entertainment.

During dinner that evening, Su Ruofei’s wrist was hurting, but she pretended nothing was wrong, not wanting Yun Mu to worry. Jin Shangyu also seemed deep in thought, as if the absence of Huang Ying had drained his spirit. Yun Mu approached Su Ruofei, gently taking her hand and dancing with her. Immersed in their love for each other, Yun Mu couldn’t help but kiss Su Ruofei again, and she smiled in response.

Su Ruoshan went to Yun Shang, blaming him for failing to deal with Su Ruofei properly, which led to her provocation. Yun Shang hurried to calm her down, explaining that Jin had indeed injured Su Ruofei’s wrist, but perhaps not severely enough. He planned to harm Su Ruofei again, but Su Ruoshan stopped him, saying Su Ruofei was no longer qualified to compete and was not a threat. The real focus should be on dealing with Yun Mu.

As it rained heavily, Jin Shangyu wandered aimlessly with an umbrella and encountered an admirer who drunkenly asked for guidance. Jin Shangyu quickly avoided them, and when he reappeared, the admirer had gone. He thought he glimpsed Huang Ying, but when he looked closer, she was nowhere to be seen. Su Ruoshan's group was assigned to lead the music at the Nine Rites Feast and received an invitation.

Ling Yuezheng held high hopes for Su Ruoshan, believing that after this performance, her status would change. Two members of Su Ruofei's former group overheard this and became resentful. When they went out, they happened to run into Hou’er and told him how Su Ruoshan had persecuted Su Ruofei. Hou’er was furious, cursing Su Ruoshan as the daughter of a coachman who dared to bully the daughter of her master, calling her an ingrate.

After getting this information, the two went back and spread the news. Everyone at Fantasy Music Hall ridiculed Su Ruoshan, calling her a pretentious fraud who was just the daughter of a coachman. Yun Shang stood up for Su Ruoshan, punishing a musician named Xu Hao, who had led the bullying. Yun Shang comforted Su Ruoshan, telling her not to be angry, as those people were just spreading rumors.

Su Ruoshan then revealed the truth, saying if Yun Shang cared about status, they should no longer be in contact. But Yun Shang replied that he would soon become the lord, and Su Ruoshan’s status would surpass anyone else’s. Yun Shang showed Su Ruoshan the items from the qin room that had burned down, knowing all along it was her doing, but he had always protected her.

He wasn’t blind, but he truly loved her and knew she was using him, yet he willingly accepted it. As long as he could be with Su Ruoshan, he didn’t care and promised to stay by her side always. Yun Shang hoped Su Ruoshan wouldn’t have feelings for Yun Mu and offered to help her become the Great Music Master. Touched by Yun Shang’s sincerity, Su Ruoshan kissed him and assured him she had never liked Yun Mu.

When Hou’er was being beaten, someone saved him with a flying knife. Jin Shangyu recognized it as something belonging to Huang Ying. Su Ruofei also scolded Hou’er for revealing Su Ruoshan’s identity. That night, Su Ruofei went to Su Ruoshan’s room and played a funeral song in honor of A Biao, while blaming Su Ruoshan for hurting Hou’er. If Hou’er had a loose tongue, then Su Ruoshan was a villain.

Su Ruofei warned Su Ruoshan that their sisterly bond was over and threatened to play her funeral song if she dared to touch her brothers again. Su Ruoshan sneered, mocking Su Ruofei for being incapable of threatening her. Su Ruofei calmly stated that she would become the Great Music Master. Though Su Ruoshan scoffed at this, she felt a hint of unease.

Su Ruofei and her band returned to the streets to perform, playing a flawless piece that drew a large crowd, who cheered for them. After the performance, someone requested to meet Su Ruofei. Yun Mu accompanied her to meet the person, who turned out to be Madam Yaoshan. Su Ruofei immediately knelt, overjoyed to meet her idol.

Madam Yaoshan greatly admired Su Ruofei’s rendition of her song, "Green Light Chant," and personally handed her an invitation to the Nine Rites Feast, hoping Su Ruofei would bring her band to perform. Madam Yaoshan detected some flaws in Su Ruofei's playing, and Su Ruofei explained it was likely due to playing for too long, though in reality, it was because of her injured wrist.

Madam Yaoshan expressed her desire to hear Su Ruofei’s perfect performance on the day of the feast. Jin Shangyu also sensed something was wrong with Su Ruofei, though she didn’t admit it. Yun Mu, however, noticed it was her hand that was the issue and insisted on taking her to see the royal physician. After an examination, the physician said that with proper treatment and massages, there wouldn’t be any serious problems.

Su Ruofei was relieved that she would be able to perform at the Nine Rites Feast. Jin Shangyu smiled with relief as he watched Yun Mu carefully massage Su Ruofei's arm.
