Princess Chang Ping encountered a newlywed bride on her way out of the palace, who was forced to marry a man with a deceased wife's spirit. Princess Chang Ping felt sorry for the bride and wanted to help her escape the situation. However, the bride's escort blocked Princess Chang Ping's path, and she nearly fell but was saved by Sha Pingwei, who happened to pass by. Although the bride appreciated Princess Chang Ping's help, she had already boarded the bridal sedan, and even if she returned to her parents' home, she would be a jilted bride with no face to show in the future. The bride resigned herself to her fate and was willing to marry.

Princess Chang Ping didn't approve of the bride's resignation and felt sorry for her as a woman who couldn't choose her own marriage. Because of Sha Pingwei's words, Princess Chang Ping developed a favorable impression of him. However, at this moment, Sha Pingwei had to leave in a hurry, and Princess Chang Ping didn't inquire about his name.

Princess Chang Ping continued her journey with Zhang Gonggong and others. Later, she unexpectedly encountered the county magistrate bullying a father and daughter in the county. She learned that the county magistrate had occupied this place and intended to take away the daughter of this family against their will. Seeing the lawlessness of the county magistrate, Princess Chang Ping wanted to intervene, but the county magistrate, upon seeing her beauty, harbored desires. Only when Zhang Gonggong showed the Emperor's token did the county magistrate back down. Princess Chang Ping ordered that the county magistrate be buried in the ground as punishment and made him plant five hundred trees for the father and daughter. She also required him to write a confession of his crimes to atone for them, sparing his life.

Liu Ruoqian, in his capacity as the steward of Duke Dingbei's residence, received Princess Chang Ping and her party. He escorted them to the mansion and informed them that starting the next day, Duke Dingbei's residence would be responsible for the princess's safety. Afterwards, Zhang Gonggong came to see Princess Chang Ping specifically and informed her that from the next day onwards, the Marquis Yuan Buqu would accompany her on a tour of Ling Mountain.

The next day, Liu Ruoqian had Princess Chang Ping brought to the Yuan residence to meet the general. In the Yuan residence, Princess Chang Ping saw Sha Pingwei, who was assigned to guard duties. She mistakenly believed Sha Pingwei to be Duke Dingbei, but later, she learned that Sha Pingwei was not Duke Dingbei Yuan Buqu, which disappointed her.

Liu Ruoqian brought the princess to Yuan Buqu's room and then took his leave. Princess Chang Ping unexpectedly saw the memorial tablets of Yuan Buqu's previous two deceased wives. She also witnessed the scene of Yuan Buqu mourning and entering a trance-like dream state, which frightened her. Princess Chang Ping hastily left, crying, and ran back to the palace to tell Zhang Gonggong that she didn't want to marry Yuan Buqu. She also expressed her dislike for Yuan Buqu, considering him old and ugly, and felt wronged, unwilling to marry him.

Yuan Buqu, following Du Bingyan's plan, successfully scared Princess Chang Ping away. This careful planning allowed Princess Chang Ping to mention her unwillingness to marry Yuan Buqu voluntarily, avoiding the accusation of deceiving the Emperor. Zhang Gonggong saw how upset Princess Chang Ping was and advised her to return to the palace immediately, asking the Queen to help find another suitor for her. He also suggested using this opportunity to punish Yuan Buqu for disrespect. Liu Ruoqian, aware that Du Bingyan's plan had avoided the charge of deceiving the Emperor, was concerned that Princess Chang Ping's temperament and complaints might incriminate Yuan Buqu for disrespect. To resolve this potential trouble, Liu Ruoqian proposed that the princess climb to the Bixia Temple to seek guidance through divination the next day to ease her mind.

On his way back home, Liu Ruoqian informed Sha Pingwei of Princess Chang Ping's intention to give Yuan Buqu a charge of disrespect. Liu Ruoqian believed that as a member of the imperial family, Princess Chang Ping was proud and opinionated. To help the general, she would need to voluntarily raise the matter of canceling the accusation. Liu Ruoqian asserted that Sha Pingwei had a noble benefactor in his fate, using his knowledge of physiognomy. He advised Sha Pingwei to wear a purple robe and climb to the summit before sunrise the next day, lingering in front of the Bixia Temple. At the appointed time, the benefactor would appear, not only bringing good fortune to Sha Pingwei but also helping Yuan Buqu escape danger.

To ensure the success of his plan, Liu Ruoqian specifically sought his wife's assistance for the next day. The county magistrate, still angered by his humiliation at the hands of Princess Chang Ping, was determined to ignore the Emperor's token in their possession and had his men follow Princess Chang Ping and her party's movements.
