Shen Qingci descends the mountain on her master's orders, carrying three engagement letters and a debt note, intending only to break off the engagements and collect the debts. Unexpectedly, at her first stop at the Gu family's engagement banquet, she breaks off the engagement in public and reclaims the usurped shares and debt; at her second stop with the Fu family, she discovers that Fu Hanting is not disabled but poisoned, and proceeds to detoxify and cure his legs, ferret out the internal traitor, and help him reclaim family power; at her third stop with the Pei family, she uses a fake seal to fish for information, counter-attacks at the Hongmen banquet, and exposes the truth of the Pei father and son killing the father and seizing the seal. All three engagement letters are returned, yet she writes an engagement letter of her own for Fu Hanting, saying, I choose you.
