Three days before the fashion show, Ms. Lie meticulously directed the rehearsal with Nuannuan's assistance, instructing Lin Jiayi on her movements and accessories to ensure a graceful presentation. She also guided Fang Hanchen on his stage cues with Lin Jiayi. Ms. Lie's attention to detail extended to the lighting for "Master King" during the show. Soon, Mr. Liu arrived, praising Lin Jiayi for perfectly embodying HOCO’s seasonal style and commending Fang Hanchen, whose songs were popular with his daughter.

He also acknowledged Han Che as a young and accomplished professional. Mr. Liu concluded by thanking everyone for their hard work and significant contributions to the HOCO fashion show, singling out Ms. Lie as the company's backbone for launching a new plan in less than half a month. Following the rehearsal, Han Che revealed to Nuannuan that he knew she was the one who bought his collaborative item at the auction.

When Lin Jiayi brought up the topic in front of everyone, Fang Hanchen quickly interjected, feigning concern that Nuannuan was running a fever and attempting to take her away. Though Nuannuan protested, Fang Hanchen later admitted he just wanted to see Han Che’s frustrated reaction. He then pressed Nuannuan about her relationship with Han Che, asking why they hadn’t made it public. Nuannuan confessed that she was the one who didn't want to go public yet, fearing office gossip.

Han Che, having followed them, overheard and challenged her, demanding to make their relationship official immediately. He insisted he wouldn't be her "underground lover" and declared his love for her. Later, Mr. Fu summoned Nuannuan, expressing his regret that her talent was now benefiting the Design Department. Nuannuan reassured him that she considered herself his "soldier" no matter where she worked.

She then showed him the special handmade, feather-adorned shoes she had to pick up for the show from an independent workshop. As she was leaving, Han Che unexpectedly arrived to pick her up. Nuannuan also met with Han Xue, who was feeling lost because Gu Li had become cold and distant towards her after a past misunderstanding.

Han Xue questioned if Nuannuan was only working at the company to spy on Gu Li, and Nuannuan admitted she was trying to understand him, confessing her own uncertainty about her feelings and the emptiness she felt without him. The day before the fashion show, amidst frantic preparations, Ms. Lie shared a personal moment with Nuannuan. She spoke of the industry's cruelty and the passion that fueled her designs, reiterating that every show felt like a battle.

Nuannuan tearfully thanked Ms. Lie for the opportunity and guidance. Ms. Lie then presented Nuannuan with a black outfit, explaining that black is the perfect color for a designer's solo curtain call and expressing her hope that Nuannuan would wear it for hers one day. The next morning, Han Che joined Nuannuan, applying lipstick for her and reaffirming their plans for a victory celebration at home that night.

With only ten hours left, chaos erupted during the final rehearsal when all the models' shoes unexpectedly broke, leaving no spare pairs. While the director was furious and Ms. Lie suspected foul play, Nuannuan proposed a bold new plan. She called Han Che, asking for his help to completely change the visual plan and music to create a passionate, unrestrained Hawaiian theme. Han Che agreed, playfully demanding a kiss as payment. With Ms. Lie's trust, Nuannuan rallied the team.

She instructed the models to walk barefoot, and despite initial hesitation, Fang Hanchen and Ms. Lie’s swift support inspired the others to follow. The team repurposed materials like silk and flowers, transforming the original elegant style into a vibrant, Dunhuang-inspired aesthetic. As she helped Lin Jiayi prepare, Lin Jiayi expressed her gratitude to Nuannuan for always helping her when it mattered most.

The fashion show was a resounding success, and afterwards, the show’s visual director—the renowned "King"—praised Nuannuan for her composure and ingenuity. After the show, Nuannuan excused herself from the team celebration, eager to share her joy with Han Che. As she approached, she overheard a distressing conversation between him and Lin Jiayi. Lin Jiayi confronted Han Che, questioning his inconsistent behavior and revealing that he had helped her win the finals. She then called him "King," her secret hero.

Shocked and heartbroken, Nuannuan interjected, accusing Han Che of being the "King" who had helped Lin Jiayi while harming her and Han Xue. Han Che confirmed he was King and apologized for not telling her. He then tried to explain to Lin Jiayi that his actions were a "payback" or "compensation," as he had mistakenly believed she was the person from his memory, confessing he never loved her.

Before Han Che could explain further to Nuannuan, Fang Hanchen intervened and took the distraught Nuannuan away. Han Che pursued them, only to be confronted by Fang Hanchen, who fiercely declared that Nuannuan was his unwavering motivation and he would not allow Han Che to hurt her. Fang Hanchen then drove Nuannuan away. Still deeply distressed, Nuannuan asked Fang Hanchen to drop her off at the company, insisting on being alone.

Upon entering her office, Nuannuan frantically searched for a pair of shoes before confronting Han Xue, demanding to know if everyone had been aware of Han Che’s identity as "King" and had kept it from her. Han Xue tearfully apologized and tried to reassure Nuannuan that Han Che genuinely loved her.

However, Nuannuan, feeling as though a knife had been plunged into her heart, was devastated by the thought that everything Han Che did for her might have been mere compensation. Meanwhile, Lin Jiayi returned to confront Han Che again, demanding a full explanation. Han Che reiterated that his sole intention had always been to help Nuannuan and that he had mistaken Lin Jiayi for her because of a hairpin.

He apologized for the misunderstanding, stating explicitly that he was never her "hero" and had not loved her, not even for a second. Lin Jiayi tearfully accepted the painful truth, confessing that she had fallen for him—her first love—because of his mistake. Acknowledging her affections were misplaced, she said a final, sorrowful goodbye and walked away.
