Fuyuan returns to the Yin family and recalls the painful memories of being humiliated by Yin Huai alongside her mother. She applies for the position of a violin teacher, silently counting down the downfall of the Yin family. Fuyuan observes the relationship between Yin Jiarou and Shen Nianwen, attempting to catch Shen’s attention. During a passing moment, Fuyuan deliberately drops her bracelet, and Shen Nianwen helps her put it back on. Yin Jiarou, seeing this, angrily slaps Fuyuan, and Xu Wei steps in to intervene. At the dinner table, Fuyuan subtly touches Shen Nianwen’s leg, arousing his curiosity. At Yin Jiarou's birthday party, Fuyuan suggests a violin performance, but Yin Jiarou sees Fuyuan and Shen Nianwen in a seemingly intimate moment, enraging her. She storms upstairs, followed by the others.
