Jiang Mengmeng, feeling ravenous, longed for meat, and Xiao Ai shared her craving. Chang Kong ventured into the forest and skillfully hunted a pheasant, earning high praise from Xiao Ai. To their surprise, Song Che returned with a freshly caught sheep. The group promptly roasted the meat, devouring it heartily. Murong Chen meticulously sliced some for Jiang Mengmeng, who, still wanting more, expressed a desire for wine.
As if by magic, Murong Chen produced several jars, and the five companions spent the evening feasting and drinking to their hearts' content. Overcome by the alcohol, Jiang Mengmeng quickly became intoxicated. In her drunken state, she first proclaimed her own perfection, then made heartfelt pronouncements, praising each of her friends. She called Xiao Ai kind and cute, and Chang Kong reliable and a source of security.
Turning to Song Che, she described him as occasionally dull and straightforward, prone to impulsive and reckless actions, yet always the first to charge forward, their bravest general. When asked about Murong Chen, however, she suddenly felt nauseous. Murong Chen quickly helped her to a secluded spot. There, in a moment of drunken honesty, she confided in him a secret, urging him not to tell Murong Chen.
She confessed that Murong Chen's sincere declaration of love had moved her deeply, especially after she had mistakenly believed he was dying and agreed to create a "last beautiful memory" with him. Despite her attempts to ignore her feelings and pretend their shared intimate moments were just a dream, she found herself constantly recalling his genuine confession, her own false one, and their kiss.
She acknowledged that she already held Yun Ya in her heart and felt she should not regard Murong Chen as anything more than a friend. Listening to her heartfelt words, Murong Chen was filled with tenderness and almost revealed that he was, in fact, Yun Ya. He silently resolved that perhaps he had pressured her too much and should grant her more time to discern her true feelings.
Murong Chen whispered that he wished to be with her forever, calling her "Xiaomeng." Later that night, Jiang Mengmeng was plagued by a nightmare in which she, Yun Ya, and Yun Qi were pursued by attackers. Yun Qi bravely fought back, but was gravely wounded and collapsed. As a menacing female demon advanced to strike Jiang Mengmeng, Yun Ya swiftly appeared to shield her. Startled awake by the terrifying dream, Jiang Mengmeng found the sun rising and her head throbbing.
Xiao Ai offered comfort, but Jiang Mengmeng, anxious about her drunken behavior, immediately sought out Murong Chen. She questioned him about any inappropriate remarks she might have made the previous night. Murong Chen, to cover up her actual confession, playfully fabricated a story, claiming she had declared him the most handsome man she had ever seen, regretted breaking off their engagement, and wished to marry him on the spot, with Song Che as their matchmaker.
Jiang Mengmeng was not amused by Murong Chen's playful pretense and quickly dismissed him, remarking on his "ugly" headwear. Reflecting on her momentary confusion, she was relieved to have secured Yun Ya’s place as her "beloved one." Unbeknownst to her, Song Che had overheard her pronouncement about the "beloved one" and, mistakenly believing she was referring to him, was overjoyed. The group of five soon arrived in Liang City.
Jiang Mengmeng observed that despite its desolate appearance, the streets were filled with prosperous-looking pedestrians and luxury goods. Song Che explained that Liang City, while geographically challenging, was a crucial trade hub connecting North Desert, Nan Cang, Ruo Shui, and Cang Yun, thus presenting a unique blend of poverty and wealth. Murong Chen, hearing this, was transported back to his childhood memories of begging with Jiang Mengmeng in Liang City.
He recalled how he, as "A Mu," struggled to cry for alms, and Jiang Mengmeng would chide him for their lack of success. In a past event, Jiang Mengmeng discovered a dropped money pouch. Instead of begging, she promptly used the money to buy roasted chicken and wine to share with Yun Qi. Yun Qi, suspicious of the sudden bounty, pressed them about the money's origin.
They confessed to finding it, and Yun Qi insisted they return it to its rightful owner. They discovered a distraught mother lamenting the loss of her hard-earned money, vital for her sick son's treatment. Realizing her mistake, Jiang Mengmeng immediately returned the money and apologized to Uncle Qi, who imparted a lesson about not depriving others of their livelihood to secure one's own.
Back in the present, Jiang Mengmeng noticed the proliferation of beggars in Liang City, remarking that they resembled "professional beggars in tourist spots" and teasing Murong Chen that he would have to spend a fortune. She handed some money to a couple of young beggars, who then deliberately dropped a money pouch and fled. Jiang Mengmeng, keen to return their forgotten item, chased after them, with Song Che close behind.
Meanwhile, Murong Chen and Chang Kong were occupied dispersing a larger crowd of beggars that had encircled them. Upon learning that Jiang Mengmeng and Song Che had pursued the children, Murong Chen immediately sensed trouble. He suspected the beggars were a diversion and feared Jiang Mengmeng and Song Che were in danger. Worrying they might be kidnapped and sold across borders, he and Chang Kong set off to find them, leaving Xiao Ai to wait.
Jiang Mengmeng and Song Che, having lost sight of the elusive children, were suddenly shoved by an unseen force into a bustling establishment: Yun Xiang House. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Jiang Mengmeng and Song Che, Murong Chen, after leaving Xiao Ai, found an old beggar in a street corner. He relentlessly questioned the beggar about the whereabouts of the young beggars and discovered they had been bribed by a masked woman to lure Jiang Mengmeng to Yun Xiang House.
Inside Yun Xiang House, it was packed, all eyes fixed on the stage where Xie Yumian, the newly debuted popular courtesan, was performing a captivating dance. The audience cheered enthusiastically. Jiang Mengmeng and Song Che, too, found themselves drawn in by her graceful movements. After her performance, the procuress announced a unique challenge: from forty boxes of rouge, patrons must select the exact shade Xie Yumian wore on her lips.
The winner would earn the privilege of spending the night with the courtesan. Jiang Mengmeng, observing Xie Yumian's elaborate purple attire and plum-colored lip makeup, quickly discerned that the solution was not a single shade. She correctly identified that Xie Yumian had achieved her lip color by layering matte No. 32 plum rouge with shiny No. 15 light pink rouge.
The procuress, impressed by her astuteness, congratulated "this childe" (Jiang Mengmeng, still disguised as a man) on becoming Xie Yumian's exclusive guest. Before Song Che could intervene, staff members unceremoniously escorted Jiang Mengmeng into a private room. Inside, Xie Yumian immediately began to approach Jiang Mengmeng with seductive intent, much to Jiang Mengmeng's bewilderment, who had expected a "damsel in distress" scenario.
Jiang Mengmeng dodged her advances, remarking to herself that the storyline was completely off and questioning if the game included a "girls' love line," despite being straight. She inquired about Xie Yumian's predicament, suggesting she might have a story or hardships to share, and offered to listen. Xie Yumian, in response, offered a cup of wine. Jiang Mengmeng hesitated, suspecting a trick, so Xie Yumian drank it herself, then pressed closer.
Just as Jiang Mengmeng felt increasingly uneasy, Song Che and a masked Yun Ya burst into the room. Yun Ya swiftly disarmed Xie Yumian, knocking a dagger from her hand, and came to Jiang Mengmeng's rescue. Jiang Mengmeng, stunned, realized Xie Yumian had intended to harm her. Yun Ya noted a cut on Jiang Mengmeng's arm and tended to it, asking if she was hurt.
Jiang Mengmeng dismissed the pain and jokingly said that this time she wanted him to save Song Che, not her. Song Che immediately engaged Xie Yumian in a fierce struggle. Yun Ya quickly subdued Xie Yumian, demanding to know her identity and the reason for the assassination attempt. Xie Yumian, now revealed to be Zhe Xiang, confessed that she hailed from Nan Cang and sought revenge for her brother, who had died fighting against the Ruo Shui Kingdom.
She recounted how the war had left her an orphan, forcing her into the brothel, and how she intended to take her own life but first wished to avenge her brother by killing the 9th princess of Ruo Shui. Jiang Mengmeng interjected, arguing that she was innocent and that Zhe Xiang's revenge should be directed at Song Che, the general.
Zhe Xiang countered that those in high positions, who wielded the power of life and death, were responsible, and soldiers were mere tools. She declared that since her revenge was thwarted, she was ready to face any punishment. Song Che, enraged, seemed willing to oblige, but Jiang Mengmeng intervened. She untied Zhe Xiang and returned her dagger, imploring her to abandon her path of revenge.
She explained the history of peaceful coexistence and trade between Nan Cang and Ruo Shui, and how Nan Cang's recent ambition had led to invasions and innocent deaths. Jiang Mengmeng reasoned that Zhe Xiang's brother, like countless others, was a victim of those in power, and that a cycle of endless revenge would only lead to more suffering. She urged Zhe Xiang to choose life. Zhe Xiang, stripped of her revenge target, found living unbearable and preferred death.
Jiang Mengmeng, determined to save her, declared she would redeem Zhe Xiang. Song Che, however, questioned how Jiang Mengmeng could afford it, given her stolen belongings and Murong Chen's absence. Jiang Mengmeng insisted she had a solution, eyeing Song Che.
