Nowadays, every move of Prince Su's Mansion affects everyone's hearts, and the fate of the aristocratic family and the Han clan is tied to Li Cheng's life and death. If he dies due to poisoning, the throne will definitely fall into Li Chuan's hands, and the Shangguan family will not be spared. In order to block the news, Concubine Rou ordered the imperial doctor to be executed secretly until Xiao Ming brought a young man who looked like Li Cheng.

It turned out that Xiao Ming had been instructed by Su Rongqing. He was worried that if something unexpected happened to Li Cheng one day, it would be difficult for the Xiao family to turn around, so he found someone with similar appearance in advance for emergencies. After years of training, the boy is indistinguishable from Li Cheng, and even those close to him find it difficult to tell the difference between the real one and the fake one.

Xiao Ming reminded Concubine Rou that once the substitute is used, it means that the fate of the Xiao family and Su Rongqing are connected, and life and death are related to honor and disgrace. In order to prevent being discovered, he planned to move Li Cheng's body to the outskirts and burn it. Concubine Rou was dazzled by the desire for power and adopted Xiao Ming's suggestion despite her daughter's dissuasion.

On the other hand, Su Rongqing was chased by Pei Wenxuan's men. Fortunately, Li Rong sent someone to rescue him at the critical moment. Jinglan wanted to report the progress to Li Rong, but saw Pei Wenxuan present and stopped talking. Pei Wenxuan noticed something strange and left the princess' mansion with an excuse. Li Rong decided to see Su Rongqing in person, but was stopped by Pei Wenxuan at the door, telling her that she would not be able to see Su Rongqing until the prince ascended the throne.

Therefore, Li Rong confessed the truth about her poisoning to Pei Wenxuan. She laughed at herself and lured the wolf into the house. Everyone betrayed her relatives and separated, everyone she loved betrayed, and everyone she protected turned against her. She lived like a joke all her life, whether it was Li Chuan, Su Rongqing or Shangguan Ya. , no one believed that the eldest princess valued feelings, let alone that she would be merciful. Originally, Li Rong thought that Pei Wenxuan was the only one trustworthy, but reality told her that Pei Wenxuan was always Li Chuan's person.

Li Rong now has no hope in anyone. If Pei Wenxuan becomes her enemy, she still doesn't care. Pei Wenxuan felt heartbroken after hearing this, and took the initiative to stay and apologize. He knew that Li Rong was strong on the outside but extremely fragile on the inside. She needed his company, and so did he. However, Li Rong told Pei Wenxuan how much she cared about the overall situation in the past, and now how eager she is to change her destiny and live for herself. Pei Wenxuan understood Li Rong and expressed that he would share some little-known secrets with her before that.

Su Rongqing returned home safely. When Su Ronghua saw that his brother was in good condition, he raised a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time and asked Su Rongqing whether he personally planned the assassination of the prince. After hearing Su Rongqing's reply, Su Ronghua angrily took out the Su family's ancestral precepts and warned him that as a descendant of the Su family, he should not participate in the fight for the right to inherit the throne. But next, Su Rongqing shared a dream with his brother, which related to his future with the Su family.

That night, Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing were in different places, facing different people, recalling the same past event: Back then, Su Ronghua, the eldest son who was supposed to inherit the position of head of the family, became a disciple and traveled out in the early years, and later returned to Beijing to serve as King Su's teacher. , whose character is naughty and informal, often hangs out in the Jucai Pavilion, and unexpectedly gets acquainted with Shangguan Ya, the eldest daughter of Shangguan.

After going back and forth, Shangguanya and Su Ronghua didn't know each other before they met, and they fell in love with each other. Although Su Ronghua intended to marry Shangguan Ya, considering the high position of the Su family, he was worried that directly proposing marriage would appear too strong, so he planned to ask Shangguan Ya's wishes first. That day, he was wearing the clothes chosen by his younger brother and holding a hosta that he had polished himself. He came back near dusk and was completely lost, which puzzled Su Rongqing.

From that day on, Su Ronghua rarely went out until a palace banquet, where he, as King Su's teacher, was forced to attend. At this palace banquet, Su Rongqing learned that Shangguan Ya was about to marry Li Chuan, and she could not escape the fate of becoming the crown prince or even the queen. However, Li Chuan did not want Shangguan Ya to be trapped in the court and decisively rejected the marriage, but was scolded by Li Rong for this.

Su Ronghua learned that Shangguan Ya had no interest in the prince, and was determined to fight for it. He voluntarily left the family and proposed marriage to the Shangguan family in person. According to the rules of the Su family, Su Ronghua had to undergo a battle and kneel in the ancestral hall for three days before leaving the Su family. During these three days, Shangguanya also tried to fight, but finally waited for the imperial edict of marriage. If she eloped with Su Rongqing at this time and abandoned the Shangguan family, the Shangguan family would become a laughing stock of the government and the public.

Shangguan Ya was bound by her family and could not decide her own future. She could only go to see Su Ronghua for the last time and persuade him to let go of each other, travel around and spend the rest of his life with the person of his dreams. It was this narration that shocked Su Rongqing, because what Su Rongqing said was exactly the plan he was going to implement, and he had to doubt the authenticity of the dream.
