The princess persistently sought out Liu Fuyi, causing Ling Miaomiao to glance anxiously at Mu Yao while stepping in to interrupt the princess's conversation with him. Mu Yao, however, remained emotionless, finally leaving with a cool expression. Liu Fuyi noticed and quickly followed her. Ling Miaomiao tried to sneak away as well, but the princess called her back, recognizing her as Lin Yu, the daughter of the Taicang prefect.

The princess assured Ling Miaomiao she wasn't offended by today’s events but wanted to make it clear that in matters of love, timing doesn't matter—she was the one who met Liu Fuyi first. Back when he saved her during a patrol, she hadn’t had the courage to step down from her carriage to greet him. Later, after much searching, she learned his name. Now that they’d met again, she wanted to express her feelings.

Although Liu Fuyi might have feelings for Mu Yao, the princess wanted him to know she was also someone worth loving. Upstairs, the young marquis was missing Ling Miaomiao when he suddenly spotted the princess below, startling him. Upon closer look, he saw that Ling Miaomiao was there as well. Fearing the princess might bully Ling Miaomiao, he quickly rushed downstairs, positioning himself protectively in front of her.

Both rolled up their sleeves in sync, and the servants skillfully grabbed their weapons. Just as Ling Miaomiao was at a loss, the princess picked up a stick and chased the young marquis around. After the commotion, the princess returned to the palace. The young marquis, gritting his teeth in anger, instantly softened and turned gentle toward Ling Miaomiao. Meanwhile, Mu Sheng didn’t quite understand the meaning of love.

Staring thoughtfully at an injured wind chime, he felt uncertain about giving it away, growing increasingly irritable. Ling Miaomiao, meanwhile, was racking her brain on how to help Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi confess their love. After much thought, she decided that a new, memorable scene might help them seal the deal.

She asked Cui Cui if there were any romantic spots in the capital, and upon hearing of a meteor shower that night, she immediately went to ask Mu Sheng for help. Busy with his training, Mu Sheng impatiently refused to open the door. Cautious, Cui Cui warned Ling Miaomiao not to provoke him. Undeterred, she and Cui Cui staged a fake crying act outside his door.

Initially unmoved, Mu Sheng finally opened the door in a panic when he thought something might have happened to her. With her plan underway, Ling Miaomiao led Mu Sheng and Cui Cui to the outskirts to set up a scene for Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi’s confession. However, they lacked flowers and a swing, and none of Cui Cui’s chairs met Ling Miaomiao’s expectations.

Frustrated, Mu Sheng eventually stepped in, somehow intuitively knowing what sort of swing she had in mind. As Ling Miaomiao sat happily on the swing, Mu Sheng found himself lost in thought beside her. Soon, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi arrived. Ling Miaomiao quickly pulled Mu Sheng aside to hide. Mu Yao sat on the swing, lost in thought, and Liu Fuyi soon joined her, thinking Mu Sheng had challenged him to a duel based on a note he’d received.

Mu Sheng, brought there by Ling Miaomiao under the pretense of discussing important matters, watched silently. After a long pause, Mu Yao offered Liu Fuyi a spot beside her, and Ling Miaomiao grew excited. Yet Mu Sheng wondered, must feelings always be spoken aloud to bring people together? Many people never find a happy ending with their true love; if it only leads to heartbreak, then what's the point?

Ling Miaomiao, however, believed differently—how many people could truly be with their beloved? As the meteor shower streaked across the sky, Ling Miaomiao clasped her hands together to make a wish, while Mu Sheng's feelings grew even more conflicted. Awkwardly, Mu Yao rose to leave, but Liu Fuyi finally reached out and confessed his feelings. Watching them kiss, Ling Miaomiao covered her eyes in excitement.

Just as their kiss deepened, Mu Yao suddenly heard a haunting melody from a woman’s song. In an instant, she drew her rope weapon, assuming a defensive stance, and Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng immediately stepped out to assess the situation. Meanwhile, the young marquis was planning a romantic confession scene, bringing out his father’s keepsake—a bracelet his father had cherished throughout his life and held onto until his final moments.

As a child, the young marquis had once asked about the bracelet's origin, but his father had merely brushed it off as a long-forgotten dream. Late at night, Pei Yun visited her true master, who instructed her to place a wooden bracelet on the princess’s wrist. Made from a demoness's strand of hair, the bracelet would make anyone who wore it fall hopelessly in love with the giver.

Although Pei Yun had been hiding by the princess's side to avenge her sister, she’d developed genuine feelings for her, now holding a grudge solely against Dowager Zhao and reconsidering her original plans. Guo Xiu secretly approached Mu Yao, revealing that Dowager Zhao was indeed involved in the fire at the Hall of Flourishing Goodness. He had kept this from Liu Fuyi, as it implicated Mu Yao’s ancestors.

In the meantime, Mu Sheng had spent days pondering love, finally deciding to act, spurred on by Ling Miaomiao’s smile. He had Cui Cui distract Ling Miaomiao, then began setting up flowers, a swing, and even caught many dust sprites, just as she had wanted. Simultaneously, the young marquis sent people to Ling Miaomiao’s inn to arrange his own confession setup.
