Zhu Yun was reported to Dean Jia by Zhang Xiaobei for offending her. Dean Jia believed Zhu Yun's behavior had undermined the university-enterprise cooperation and must be severely punished with a major demerit, which would directly affect Zhu Yun’s future. The class advisor defended Zhu Yun, insisting she was not a bad student, and reminded Zhang Xiaobei not to ruin a student's future. However, Zhang Xiaobei warned the advisor not to risk their own future for one student.

News of Zhu Yun’s situation quickly reached Li Xun. He also learned that Han Jiakang, to protect himself, had signed a statement admitting Zhu Yun’s wrongdoing. Li Xun immediately confronted Han Jiakang, ordered him to apologize to Zhu Yun, and realized Han Jiakang had received benefits. Han Jiakang admitted that Zhang Xiaobei promised to make his position permanent. Li Xun couldn’t help but mock him for settling for such a cheap promise.

Afterwards, Li Xun went to Zhang Xiaobei and voluntarily handed over the Blue Crown project to her. Zhang Xiaobei was very pleased and guessed that Li Xun was doing it for Zhu Yun. She thought if it had been this easy, she could have just targeted Zhu Yun from the beginning. Li Xun warned Zhang Xiaobei that one day she would regret her actions.

Gao Jianhong was displeased when he found out that Li Xun had handed the project to Zhang Xiaobei, believing it was a joint effort between the two of them. But upon learning it was to save Zhu Yun, he reminded her this was the last time. Zhu Yun found out from Fang Shumiao that Li Xun had gone to talk to Zhang Xiaobei, and she immediately went looking for him, but couldn't find him anywhere.

She anxiously called him, and Li Xun appeared behind her. He scolded her for taking risks for him, saying he could easily produce more of those things. Zhu Yun knew Li Xun had sacrificed a lot and felt a complex mix of emotions. Back home, Zhu Yun took the initiative to call her mother for the first time and told her that her grades had dropped. Her mother, worried, asked why.

Zhu Yun lied, saying she was dragged into some university-enterprise alliance. Her mother was so angry that she wanted to confront Zhang Xiaobei. Zhu Yun’s father was a business mogul with business ties to Director Wang from Zhang Xiaobei’s company, while her mother held a leadership position in the education bureau. With their combined influence, Director Wang immediately arranged for Zhang Xiaobei to apologize. To show her sincerity, Zhang Xiaobei poured a glass of water over her own head.

But even after this was resolved, Zhu Yun felt no joy; instead, she felt that relying on her family’s power to suppress Zhang Xiaobei was no different from what Zhang Xiaobei had done to her. When Li Xun heard about Zhu Yun’s situation, he teased her for being a true princess. But he also reminded her to tell him first when something happens. Zhu Yun made the same request of him.

The project was reinstated because of Zhu Yun’s incident, and Li Xun and Gao Jianhong resumed their work together, though Gao Jianhong felt complicated emotions. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaobei was exposed by new media and became a cautionary tale, leaving in disgrace. Han Jiakang, realizing his mistake, apologized to Zhu Yun and left, planning to go home to help his parents with their fishpond. Xiao Liu had deep feelings for Ren Di.

To get her to return to singing at the bar, he agreed to work for Director Wang as a menial laborer. When Ren Di found out, she angrily scolded him and warned him never to make such sacrifices again, especially since she didn’t like him. If that was the condition for returning to sing, she would rather not do it at all. Zhu Yun’s mother visited the class advisor, Ms. Zhang, to learn about Zhu Yun’s school performance.

Hearing that her grades were good in all areas, she felt reassured and had already planned for Zhu Yun to study abroad. But when she saw the back of Li Xun, she seemed thoughtful and asked Ms. Zhang whether Zhu Yun was in a relationship. Ms. Zhang thought it was normal, as they were already in university, and hoped Zhu Yun’s mother would listen more to her daughter’s opinions.

But Zhu Yun’s mother insisted that Zhu Yun was still young and that her future should be decided by her parents. Li Xun brought Zhu Yun a piece of bread and playfully teased her. Zhu Yun, in turn, poured a cup of hot water to prank him back. Just as they were messing around, her mother arrived. Zhu Yun’s mother and Li Xun exchanged a glance, both revealing odd expressions. During dinner, Zhu Yun’s mother specifically asked about Li Xun.

Listening to Zhu Yun speak so highly of him, her mother brought up Li Xun’s past. It was Zhu Yun’s 18th birthday, and it was pouring rain. Li Xun braved the storm to confess to her mother that he alone was responsible for the altered exam scores and requested that only he be punished. However, Zhu Yun’s mother felt it was a serious matter and insisted both students be held accountable.
