Zhuo Jiu is reborn as Ming Meili and discovers that her adoptive mother's Ming family is preparing to "sell" her again; Ming Meili uses her past life memories to fight back against the family: she seizes the ledger, exposes corruption, helps Zhuo Jiu escape, but is forced to marry Dong He herself. Just as she is about to go down with Dong He, Si Chen, who has noticed something amiss, makes a domineering entrance. Ming Meili was taken by Si Chen into the "Nameless Manor" for protection and testing, where Si Chen's extreme possessiveness began to surface; Ming Meili countered his control with rationality; the two engaged in multiple psychological confrontations, filled with ambiguity, tug-of-war, and danger; Wang Rui pretended to "save her," but she refused and instead used him to cause Si Chen a headache, then took the opportunity to leave, only to find that Zhuo Jiu (young form) had been kidnapped by Dong He, forcing Ming Meili to show up. Ming Meili, in order to save Zhuo Jiu, cooperated with Si Chen to jointly deal with the Ming, Dong, and Wang families.
