In order to truly understand what romantic feelings between men and women are, Cheng Shaoshang bribed Fu Deng to find her relevant books, only to discover that most of the content was too indecent to read. Lou Yao heard that Cheng Shaoshang was diligently studying inside her room and specially brought wine over.

The two of them read the books together, but Cheng Shaoshang completely disagreed with the views presented, opposing the notion that women should always cater and submit without a trace of independence. In Cheng Shaoshang’s view, the most beautiful kind of love is walking side by side—not one high and one low, not one dominant and one subordinate.

Lou Yao agreed with her idea, believing that as long as the two get along well, it shouldn't be constrained by the words in a book. So they simply threw the book aside and drank together. Sang Shunhua advised Xiao Yuanyi not to interfere too much in their children’s marriage matters, especially since the girl in question was Cheng Shaoshang. However, Xiao Yuanyi believed Lou Yao was upright in character and indeed a rare good husband candidate.

But since he came from a secondary branch of the family and had few family members, he might easily be bullied. Xiao Yuanyi feared that her daughter would suffer if she married him. Sang Shunhua understood her concern and offered advice, saying that couples who love without parental support will inevitably face hardships like star-crossed lovers. So why not let them freely develop their relationship, and time will reveal whether this match is suitable.

Sure enough, without Xiao Yuanyi’s obstruction, Cheng Shaoshang and Lou Yao acted without restraint. On the surface, they pretended to be obedient and nodded respectfully, but the next day they were once again riding a carriage to visit a tea plantation. While traveling through scenic fields, Cheng Shaoshang improvised a tune on the flute. The music rose with the wind, lively and full of vitality, enchanting all those present.

After the tune ended, a steady and mature voice suddenly called out from a hillside. It was Huanfu Yi, dressed in a rain cloak and carrying a bamboo hat, slowly approaching them and introducing himself, which caught Cheng Shaoshang's attention. Because he still thought about her third aunt, Cheng Shaoshang defended her uncle Cheng Zhi in every word, hoping Huanfu Yi could let go of the past.

Seeing that rain was approaching, Huanfu Yi invited them to his villa to take shelter. Cheng Shaoshang, wanting to learn the story between him and her third aunt, pretended to agree reluctantly. The slope was gentle, and soon they could vaguely see a tall, spacious pavilion at the top. Inside were two men—Ling Buyi and Yuan Shen. Cheng Shaoshang proactively asked about Ling Buyi’s injuries, but he didn’t respond at all.

Instead, Lou Yao eagerly shared that he had proposed marriage to the Cheng family’s Fourth Miss. Upon hearing this, both Ling Buyi and Yuan Shen were visibly displeased. At that moment, thunder rolled across the sky, and Lou Yao hastily covered Cheng Shaoshang’s ears with his hands—an intimate and ambiguous gesture. As the rain grew heavier, the attendants had already prepared carriages.

Ling Buyi instructed Cheng Shaoshang to take his carriage to the villa, while Lou Yao put on a cloak and rode alongside. Inside the carriage, seeing the neatly arranged broken arrows and Shaoshang’s bow, Cheng Shaoshang couldn’t help but recall the moment she treated Ling Buyi’s injuries—her emotions complicated.

Yuan Shen used the pretense of reviewing lessons to question why Lou Yao had gotten engaged to Cheng Shaoshang, even insinuating that she was scheming and calculating—but Lou Yao didn’t believe it. That evening, Huanfu Yi hosted a banquet. Yuan Shen deliberately separated Cheng Shaoshang and Lou Yao, arranging for Cheng Shaoshang to sit opposite Ling Buyi. As Huanfu Yi drank more, his gaze fell upon Cheng Shaoshang, suddenly recalling an old friend and becoming melancholic.

He shared a story—how he had once disliked Sang Shunhua’s plain looks and quiet personality, but later his uncles were implicated after criticizing Emperor Li in court. Overnight, all the men in his clan were beheaded, and only Huanfu Yi escaped by fleeing far away for seven years. His fiancée, Sang Shunhua, defied everyone to care for his family and waited silently for his return. However, seven years later, on her parents’ birthday, Huanfu Yi was ambushed en route.

His loyal servant died protecting him and entrusted an orphan girl to him before passing. It was this orphan girl that caused him to miss the event and brought disgrace upon Sang Shunhua, ruining their marriage. When he finally returned, he learned she had married someone else and has been unable to let go ever since. Cheng Shaoshang called it a heartless and self-important story.

For a man, seven years might be about braving dangers and seeking revenge, but for a woman, it means enduring blame from relatives, making sacrifices, and doing everything to protect the vulnerable. Yuan Shen defended Huanfu Yi and accused Cheng Shaoshang of being too harsh. The two argued endlessly.

Always reserved, Ling Buyi suddenly spoke up, saying that if he were the man in the story, he would never let the woman he loved suffer, and if two people truly loved each other, heaven would not separate them. Everyone in the hall was shocked. Lou Yao echoed the sentiment and exchanged a smile with Cheng Shaoshang. Huanfu Yi also admitted his earlier faults, showing deep regret that lingered even after the banquet ended.

Ling Buyi brought Cheng Shaoshang a mandarin fish and referenced the story, saying that in a lifetime, choosing the right person and the right path is the greatest fortune. He hoped Cheng Shaoshang would choose wisely. Before she could answer, Lou Yao arrived with another mandarin fish, and Cheng Shaoshang turned to him without hesitation. The two walked away together, hand in hand.
