Princess Wanning could be described as a beautiful but mad woman. Whenever things don't go her way, she makes Shen Yurong kneel, yet she also likes him. Shen Yurong is forced to comply with Princess Wanning's arrangements.

Shen Yurong reported the exam situation to the Emperor, and at this time, Princess Wanning came forward and suggested having men and women cooperate in the exam. The Emperor, however, believed the exam to be a serious matter and could not be taken lightly.

Princess Wanning then used the Emperor's current status to threaten him, and eventually, he agreed. Shen Yurong realized that even if he didn't comply with Princess Wanning, she would find a way to achieve her goal; he ultimately couldn't defeat her.

Soon, Xiao Xuefangfei informed Xue Fangfei about the mixed-gender team exams at Mingyi Hall and the Imperial Academy. This was the first time in history. Xiao Xuefangfei wondered who would be on his team, and Xue Fangfei offered herself. Xiao Xuefangfei laughed, saying that Xue Fangfei had never attended a school, so she wouldn't know anything. To team up, she must first enter Mingyi Hall.

Xue Fangfei then went to see her grandmother, ostensibly to thank her for choosing a good maid for her, but in reality, she wanted her grandmother to agree to let her study at Mingyi Hall. Her grandmother agreed readily, and Xue Fangfei showed her the calligraphy she had practiced.

Her grandmother warned her that studying was tough. Originally, her grandmother wanted Xue Fangfei to ask her father herself, but Xue Fangfei claimed she didn't dare, so her grandmother went to speak to her son about letting Xue Fangfei study at Mingyi Hall.

Ji Shuran naturally opposed this and suggested bringing in a scholar to test Xue Fangfei's abilities. Initially, her grandmother chose someone, but Ji Shuran said that person wasn't suitable and proposed her own candidate. Xue Fangfei's father approached Shen Yurong, hoping he could test Xue Fangfei's knowledge. Shen Yurong remembered Xue Fangfei's face and didn't dare refuse.

Ji Shuran first called Shen Yurong over and gave him a large sum of money, saying she wanted Jiang Li to pass the exam but actually aiming to make Shen Yurong despise Jiang Li. When Xue Fangfei entered the room, she was surprised to see Shen Yurong. She held back her tears, putting on a distant expression.

Shen Yurong was very polite, saying Xue Fangfei resembled someone he used to know. He then handed her the test paper. Before leaving, Xue Fangfei asked Shen Yurong if he had ever been to Qingcheng Mountain, indirectly reminding him not to cheat.

Seeing Xue Fangfei's calligraphy confirmed for Shen Yurong that she was his deceased wife, but he didn't dare look at her directly. Xue Fangfei, now in tears, couldn't understand why Shen Yurong had killed her. She realized she had misjudged him, leaving Shen Yurong speechless.

Shen Yurong reported to Jiang's father that Xue Fangfei's skills were enough to enter Mingyi Hall. Although Ji Shuran smiled outwardly, she was furious inside. Xue Fangfei had once told Shen Yurong that she hadn't misbehaved and that he should visit Mingyi Hall. Jiang Ruoyao felt very uneasy when she learned Xue Fangfei would also be attending Mingyi Hall.

Soon, Xiao Heng heard about the new rules proposed by the Princess and that Shen Yurong had helped Xue Fangfei get into Mingyi Hall. Xiao Heng thought it would be an interesting show. Shen Yurong returned home, haunted by Xue Fangfei's questions and the storm outside, driving him to tears. His sister knocked on the door, and Shen Yurong stumbled out, determined to go to Qingcheng Mountain. There, he found a body and his flute, confirming Xue Fangfei's death. Xue Fangfei had anticipated this day.

Now that Xue Fangfei was going to school, Tong Er worried about her. When Xue Fangfei got on the carriage, she saw Jiang Ruoyao and Jiang Yue, who ignored her, forcing her to get off. Luckily, Xiao Xuefangfei invited her to ride in his carriage. He assumed Xue Fangfei was going to see Zhou Yanbang.

The ones most likely to win first place were the two sons of the Li family. Since their father, Li Zhongnan, was an enemy of Xue Fangfei's father, they couldn't collaborate. Jiang Ruoyao and Jiang Yue would be with Zhou Yanbang, and the third tier included Shen Ruyun. They were in the fourth tier, and Xue Fangfei saw Ye Shijie, her cousin, who was always alone.

When Xue Fangfei entered, people looked down on her, knowing she came from the Maiden Hall. Jiang Ruoyao pretended to be considerate but aimed to embarrass her. During class, Xiao Deyin started teaching, and Liu Xu fell asleep, scaring Xue Fangfei into standing up.

Shen Yurong couldn't face Xue Fangfei directly. After class, Zhou Yanbang prepared pastries for Jiang Ruoyao, but when he saw Xue Fangfei, he was captivated by her. Someone made a joke about Xue Fangfei, but Liu Xu beat them up. Xue Fangfei wanted to approach Liu Xu, but she wasn't easily won over.

Xiao Heng went to eat but found that the Li family's sons had taken his seat, so he naturally went to question them.
