Rebirth from the Ashes
Gu Huai travels abroad to clear his mind, only to stumble upon his biological mother, whom he believed had died of illness and been cremated, living a leisurely life with her illegitimate son, Yan Yang, his wife, Shang Suisui, and a newborn. He suddenly realizes that his wife's miscarriage and his mother's death after leaving a farewell letter were all elaborate deceptions. To support Yan Yang, his mother faked her death to force Gu Huai out of his marriage, leaving him depressed and subjected to public criticism. Gu Huai joins forces with his friend Song Ye to plan a counterattack, staging his own death by wrist-cutting to expose the lies. When the deception is revealed, the conspirators turn against one another in suspicion and hostility. Gu Huai's mother suffers a mental breakdown and dies, while Shang Suisui breaks with Yan Yang. Gu Huai conceals his identity and retreats to heal, eventually reuniting with Shen Yun. Freeing himself from the shackles of his dysfunctional family and failed marriage, he finally embraces a new life of his own.

Gu Huai pergi ke luar negara untuk menenangkan fikiran, tetapi tanpa diduga terserempak dengan ibu kandungnya yang disangkanya telah meninggal dunia akibat sakit dan dibakar selepas kematian. Ibunya rupa-rupanya hidup dengan selesa bersama Yan Yang, anak luar nikahnya, Shang Suisui, isteri Gu Huai, serta seorang bayi yang baru lahir. Gu Huai akhirnya menyedari bahawa keguguran isterinya dan kematian ibunya selepas meninggalkan surat terakhir semuanya hanyalah penipuan. Demi menyokong Yan Yang, ibunya sanggup memalsukan kematian untuk memaksa Gu Huai meninggalkan perkahwinannya, sehingga dia mengalami kemurungan dan menjadi sasaran kecaman orang ramai. Gu Huai bergabung dengan sahabatnya Song Ye untuk merancang serangan balas, dengan berpura-pura mati selepas melukakan pergelangan tangannya bagi membongkar pembohongan itu. Selepas penipuan tersebut terbongkar, mereka saling mencurigai dan bermusuhan. Ibu Gu Huai mengalami keruntuhan mental lalu meninggal dunia, manakala Shang Suisui memutuskan hubungan dengan Yan Yang. Gu Huai menyembunyikan identitinya untuk memulihkan luka hati, sebelum bertemu semula dengan Shen Yun. Dia membebaskan diri daripada belenggu keluarga yang bermasalah dan perkahwinan yang gagal, lalu memulakan kehidupan baharu miliknya sendiri.
