Jiang Shi had planned for Qiao Niang to testify in court, ensuring that Ji Chongyi's affair with her would be exposed. This way, Qiao Niang could also successfully marry into the An Guogong Manor. Qiao Niang directly accused Ji Chongyi of pushing Jiang Shi into the river. The evidence was undeniable, and Ji Chongyi had no choice but to admit it. However, he remained arrogant even in court and was punished.

When Zhen Hang pressed further, asking Qiao Niang whether Ji Chongyi had done it deliberately, she suddenly fainted. That night, Ji Chongyi and Lady Wei went to confront Qiao Niang. Jiang Shi used Qiao Niang’s unborn child as leverage, forcing Ji Chongyi to marry her openly and honorably. However, Lady Wei refused, claiming that the child’s father was uncertain. Jiang Shi then brought up Ji Chongyi’s future prospects, threatening that his reputation would be ruined.

Fearing the consequences, Ji Chongyi persuaded his mother to agree to the marriage. After returning home, Jiang Shi was still unsettled. Without an official letter of annulment, there was always a risk of things changing. Just as she was anxiously waiting, Jiang Ancheng arrived with the annulment letter from An Guogong Manor. Seeing the letter, Jiang Shi was overjoyed—she had finally escaped a disastrous fate. She immediately withdrew the lawsuit.

Zhen Hang, noticing that Jiang Shi had inexplicably dropped the case, suspected that she had been threatened and wanted to continue the investigation. However, Jiang Shi had no interest in digging further. While organizing a tree stump in Jiang Shi’s courtyard, A’Man discovered a symbol engraved on it. Upon closer examination, Jiang Shi realized that the symbol was a sacred totem. This puzzled her deeply, and memories of her past life resurfaced.

She began to suspect that this totem was linked to her time living in Nanwu. Yu Qi and Zhen Hang visited Jiang Shi’s home as guests, where her family warmly welcomed them. That night, Yu Qi secretly sneaked into Jiang Shi’s courtyard and discovered one of her paintings—a landscape depicting the divine mountain of Nanwu. He was certain that Jiang Shi must have been to the mountain before to be able to paint it so vividly.

This made him even more determined to investigate further. The next morning, Jiang Shi woke up to find her painting missing. Thinking back, she recalled that Yu Qi had paid close attention to it when he visited, leading her to suspect that he was trying to investigate her identity as the sacred maiden. To test Jiang Shi’s family, Yu Qi invited Jiang Shi and her brother, Jiang Zhan, to visit his home.

However, Jiang Shi did not want to stay long and left after a brief appearance. Yu Qi deliberately showed the painting he took from Jiang Shi’s home to Jiang Zhan, but Jiang Zhan seemed unfamiliar with it. Summoned by her grandmother, Jiang Shi went to the manor. She did not want to make things too difficult for her father at home.

Upon arrival, she saw Jiang Qian happily chatting with the Grand Madam, which reminded her of how Jiang Qian had betrayed her in their past life. Jiang Shi could not understand why a woman would help her husband harm her own sister. She began to harbor resentment toward Jiang Qian and spoke to her coldly. Jiang Shi’s sharp words angered the Grand Madam, who scolded her.

Jiang Qian, noticing Jiang Shi’s hostility, decided it was best to leave and invited Jiang Shi to walk her out. As they walked alone, Jiang Qian extended an invitation for Jiang Shi to visit her home. Before leaving, Jiang Qian hesitated, looking at Jiang Shi with reluctance. It turned out that she was acting under duress—her husband, who was infatuated with Jiang Shi’s beauty, had ordered her to invite Jiang Shi over.

He had even physically abused Jiang Qian to force her compliance. Meanwhile, Jiang Yi, Jiang Shi’s eldest sister, sent a gift along with a letter to comfort her. Jiang Yi knew that Jiang Shi had broken off her engagement and assumed she must be feeling down. Reading the letter, Jiang Shi recalled how, in their past life, Jiang Yi had been abandoned after her own engagement was broken.

She had returned home, only to be neglected and left to die in sorrow. Determined to change her sister’s fate in this lifetime, Jiang Shi swore not to let history repeat itself. On a rainy day, Jiang Shi walked through the streets under an umbrella and came across a deranged woman, Xiu Niang, searching desperately for her daughter.

From the gossip around her, Jiang Shi learned that Xiu Niang had once been a tofu seller, but her daughter had suddenly gone missing. When she heard that the child had disappeared near the Changxing Marquis Manor, Jiang Shi’s suspicions deepened. She remembered that Jiang Qian’s husband had always lusted after her beauty. It was highly likely that he had kidnapped the girl because she resembled Jiang Shi. Determined to rescue the child, Jiang Shi decided to take action.
