> In a Class of Her Own Recap
Inspired by Wen Bin's rapid progress on the flute, other students also sought guidance from Feng Chengjun. However, Feng Chengjun, seeing they were merely seeking shortcuts before the exam after neglecting their studies, turned them down. Believing that anyone with a desire to learn should be helped, Wen Bin took it upon herself to teach her classmates, who were deeply grateful. Soon, the music theory exam began. Wen Bin and Lei Zexin's remarkable improvement surprised the teacher, and both passed.
After a discussion, the Principal and other masters decided to end Wen Bin and Lei Zexin's observation period, allowing them to remain at the Academy. Furious that his adversaries were allowed to stay, Han Shengzhi interpreted Feng Chengjun's support for them as a challenge to the academy's rules and a personal provocation, vowing to make their lives difficult. Meanwhile, Wen Bin happily thanked Feng Chengjun for his help. Feng Chengjun acknowledged her own efforts contributed to her success.
Lei Zexin then playfully interjected, asking for his share of the credit, which Wen Bin graciously gave. Just then, Yu Lexuan arrived to discuss an important matter with the talented writer Wen Bin. Having finished the fourth volume of her romance novel, Wen Bin found herself lost in her own story, imagining herself as the heroine and Feng Chengjun and Lei Zexin as two handsome rivals vying for her love.
She informed Feng Chengjun of her plan to hold a book signing event, promising to focus on her studies afterward. Feng Chengjun reluctantly agreed, cautioning her since her observation period had just ended and offering financial help if she ever needed it. Organized by Yu Lexuan, the signing event at Mu Lai Bookstore drew a large crowd of readers. Wen Bin, disguised as "Mr. Bai" with a fake mustache, charmed many young female fans with her dashing appearance.
The profits were to be split seventy-thirty, with Yu Lexuan taking the larger share for handling publicity. Among the attendees was Han Shumin, who, knowing Yu Lexuan was an academy student, asked for his help in connecting with Feng Chengjun. For a fee, Yu Lexuan agreed, suggesting that love letters would be an effective strategy and even offered to find a ghostwriter.
Upon returning home, Wen Bin shared her compiled academy notes with her younger brother, hoping they could switch their identities back once his health improved. The herbs she had been getting from the academy for him were now scarce and expensive, and the school could no longer provide them. Desperate for money to buy the medicine, Wen Bin accepted a commission from Yu Lexuan to ghostwrite love letters for Han Shumin, unaware they were intended for Feng Chengjun.
When Feng Chengjun received a mysterious letter, he sought out Wen Bin for help interpreting it. Wen Bin was shocked to realize Han Shumin was the admirer and the "Min" in the letter referred to her. After she explained the letter's meaning, Feng Chengjun was dismissive, stating his intent to reply that he was dedicated to his studies and had no interest in romance.
He also criticized the writer's poor skills, suggesting Han Shumin shouldn't waste money on such an unlettered scribe, leaving Wen Bin dismayed at having dug her own pit. Tasked by Han Shumin to receive the reply, Yu Lexuan intercepted Feng Chengjun's letter. Instead of conveying the rejection, he lied to Han Shumin, claiming Feng Chengjun was deeply touched and had praised the writer's talent. Overjoyed, Han Shumin instructed Wen Bin to continue writing letters to Feng Chengjun daily.
One evening, while Wen Bin and Han Shumin were discussing new content at Mr. Chao's establishment, Feng Chengjun unexpectedly appeared. He was concerned, having searched the entire academy for Wen Bin, who had been absent for two days. Cornered, Wen Bin lied that she had been at Yu Lexuan's place to learn from him, explaining she kept it secret because she knew Feng Chengjun disliked him. Seemingly accepting her explanation, Feng Chengjun reminded her to prioritize her safety and to discern right from wrong.
