Shan Dandan saw that the smugglers were pulling out knives, creating a dangerous situation. She quickly stepped forward and explained that Pei Pei was visiting for the first time and that it was all a misunderstanding. Just as the smugglers were about to believe Shan Dandan, they discovered an official's jade pendant on Pei Pei. Whether or not he was a government official, they decided to kill Pei Pei. Seeing the danger, Shan Dandan hurriedly escaped with Pei Pei.

It turned out that the black market was owned by Su Yu's family. Upon hearing that Pei Pei was causing trouble there, Su Yu rushed over. Shan Shuangshuang also heard about the situation and, worried about her sister Shan Dandan, secretly went to help. Pei Pei and Shan Dandan hid in a corner, trying to stay quiet, but a goose revealed their location. The two had no choice but to face the smugglers, though they were outmatched.

Suddenly, a masked person arrived, swiftly defeating the smugglers before disappearing. Pei Pei's servants and A Liu then arrived, escorting Pei Pei and Shan Dandan back to Qipei Pavilion. Pei Pei had been stabbed in the arm during the incident but didn't dare tell the matriarch, Pei Qin. Shan Dandan tenderly treated his wound. Though they kept it secret, Pei Qin had already heard about it but pretended not to know, trusting Shan Dandan to take care of Pei Pei.

This made Pei Pei start to appreciate Shan Dandan, feeling reassured about her representing Qipei Pavilion in the Jade Competition. Pei Pei's actions in the black market disrupted Su Yuxuan's business, leading to its closure. This made the Su family hate Pei Pei even more. Those who relied on smuggling through the black market had no choice but to turn to legitimate markets. The Su family, initially suppressed by the Pei family, had regained their position by leveraging some secrets.

Shan Shuangshuang overheard this from outside the room. Someone reported that the Su family's jade mine had also been taken over by the Pei family, further angering Su Yu, who swore enmity against Pei Pei. After Su Yu left the room, Shan Shuangshuang sneaked in, discovering a hidden compartment but sensing danger, quickly left. Shan Dandan suggested to Manager Hao that they should focus on Nanhong and white jade.

Surprisingly, sales surged, making Pei Pei realize Shan Dandan was quite capable. Despite his detachment, Pei Pei was highly skilled in carving. Under his guidance, the craftsmen quickly mastered the techniques. Shan Dandan believed that if Pei Pei and she teamed up for the Jade Competition, they could win the championship, but Pei Pei showed no interest and walked away. Shan Dandan was puzzled by Pei Pei's aversion to the Jade Competition.

Pei Qin arrived and explained that Pei Pei had unresolved issues from past events. He was once the most talented individual in the area but had since changed. Pei Qin hoped Shan Dandan could help Pei Pei rediscover his potential, as their family now relied on her. Su Yu was also preparing meticulously for the Jade Competition, planning to create a "Bishui Yuanyang" ornament as his winning piece, intending to present it to Shan Dandan to win Shan Shuangshuang's favor.

A Liu informed Shan Dandan that Pei Pei developed a psychological barrier after participating in the Jade Competition. However, A Liu was vague about the details, increasing Shan Dandan's curiosity about Pei Pei's troubles. Shan Shuangshuang sneaked into Su Yu's secret room again to find the real design for the competition. She discovered only one design drawing, missing another one. Su Yu and a servant then entered, forcing Shan Shuangshuang to hide.

They discussed who might have stolen the missing design, blaming the Pei family. After Su Yu left, Shan Shuangshuang also left, puzzled about the missing design. Shan Shuangshuang visited her father's grave, recalling his dying words. He had been used by someone, and the amber on the Fengguan (phoenix crown) could not be used as medicine. He urged Shan Shuangshuang not to seek revenge.

Shan Shuangshuang felt that clues might be found in the Pei family, as she had found nothing significant while infiltrating the Su family. Pei Pei felt disheartened by Shan Dandan's criticism, calling him talented but a coward for not participating in the Jade Competition. He attempted to carve but couldn't get into the right mindset due to his psychological barrier. Turning to alcohol for solace, Shan Dandan joined him.

She praised Pei Pei, pointing out his hidden talents despite his seemingly frivolous attitude, and encouraged him to rediscover his skills. Pei Pei recalled being scolded by his father, Pei Chufeng, for carving the Fengguan. His father accused him of stealing the Fengguan for personal gain, forbidding him from participating in the Jade Competition or carving again. In defiance, Pei Pei argued, leading to his father breaking his wrist.

Since then, Pei Pei had lost his motivation, indulging in a carefree lifestyle to spite his father. After learning about Pei Pei's issues, Shan Dandan reassured him that he was still talented and could regain his confidence. Touched, Pei Pei kissed Shan Dandan's forehead, surprising her. Drunk and exhausted, Pei Pei fell asleep on Shan Dandan's shoulder.
