Episode 3 recap: Duan Yu suspected that Qiao Qing was a reverse star.
Shao Yi had always been unruly, so he sent Duan Yu to Jizhou Academy and had someone contact the tailor to make a few clothes for Miss Gu. Xing Si was surprised and asked Duan Yu if he was really going to propose to Miss Gu, and Duan Yu said that the matter of proposing was not what Xing Si said.
Gu Xing Mi told Gu Qing Qiao about Duan Yu wanting to invite her to the Duan mansion to get measured for clothes. Gu Qing Qiao did not understand why getting measured and having clothes made had to be done at the Duan mansion. Gu Xing Mi told her that although the proposal had not been explicitly stated, it was essentially the case, but this was something she needed to think carefully about herself.
Shao Yi brought some story books to find Ruo Yun and told her that he might have to leave for a while to go to Jizhou Academy. Ruo Yun was dejected, saying she would have one less playmate. Shao Yi said he would write to her, as Ruo Yun had always had feelings for Duan Yu and wanted to become Shao Yi's aunt.
Gu Qing Qiao found the maid Zhang Niangzi in the manor and asked to borrow some cosmetics. She heavily made up Lü Zizhen, saying that if he went out looking like that, no one would be able to recognize him.
Lü Zizhen was puzzled as to why she liked Duan Yu, and Gu Qing Qiao said there was no reason, it was the wish of her two lifetimes. Since Gu Qing Qiao was going to the Duan mansion, Dong Xi wanted to dress her up nicely, but Gu Qing Qiao said she was not used to wearing makeup. Dong Xi said she could help her find a veil to wear.
Gu Qing Qiao entered the Duan mansion wearing the veil, and Duan Yu kept looking at her, instructing the servants to turn away and not look at her. Gu Qing Qiao said she had put on makeup just for him to see, and Duan Yu said she looked good with or without makeup, and the veil did not suit her. Gu Qing Qiao happily said he was very thoughtful, and took off the veil.
Duan Yu took Gu Qing Qiao and introduced the Duan mansion, saying it was built on the foundation of the Qilin Bow and had an irreconcilable hatred with the Shexue Gate, as Duan's father died because of the Shexue Gate. He then took Gu Qing Qiao to the Duan ancestral hall, and Gu Qing Qiao thought he was going to introduce her to his family, so she knelt down to pray that she and Duan Yu could be together forever and have children soon. Duan Yu said it was a bit too early for that. Gu Qing Qiao asked if Duan Yu had seen her before, and he said this was the first time he had seen her at the Gu mansion. Gu Qing Qiao asked then why he wanted to propose to her, and Duan Yu said that was what Xing Si had said, not him. Gu Qing Qiao said couldn't he see it as a special fate between the two of them, and Duan Yu said she was a very special lady. Gu Qing Qiao said this was the happiest thing she had heard since coming here.
Gu Qingqiao and Duan Yu were boating when they encountered an assassin. In the struggle, Gu Qingqiao was about to fall into the lake, but fortunately Duan Yu pulled him up. However, Duan Yu's shoe fell off in the process. He wanted to put the shoe back on for her, but Gu Qingqiao said that before marriage, a man should not see a woman's feet, mainly because he was afraid of being ticklish, so he put the shoe on himself. At this time, the tailor also came to take Gu Qingqiao's measurements, but Gu Qingqiao said there was no need to trouble him, just send over a garment and make it according to the size.
In fact, the whole day was Duan Yu testing Gu Qingqiao, deliberately speaking incorrectly about weapons and mentioning the Holy Blood Gate. Even the falling into the water was a setup by them, just to see if Miss Gu had any marks on her feet. They also sent Xingsi to inquire about her from Doctor Dong. Duan Yu originally suspected she was related to the Holy Blood Gate, and later suspected she was the Reverse Sky Star, who was said to be able to restore the Holy Blood Gate, causing the Duan family's downfall. But after a day of testing, they didn't find anything, so Duan Yu suspected that Gu Qingqiao might be pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
Lu Zicheng found Gu Qingqiao and asked her to help with a matter, then told her that he knew about the Four Spirits, and took out the treasure of the Mandu Sect - the Nine Turn Clear Sound Bell, which was actually Spring Jiao's electronic watch. Because Gu Qingqiao had greatly improved the business of Qingfeng Pavilion, the manager Yang of Chunfeng Pavilion also came to Qingfeng Pavilion and told Gu Xingmi that if the food festival was held at Chunfeng Pavilion, it would be like making a suit for others.
Gu Qingqiao went to Duan Yu and suggested that they could arrest the right protector of the Mandu Sect and its followers during the food festival, but the food festival must be held at Qingfeng Pavilion. Gu Qingqiao reorganized the training at Qingfeng Pavilion, established a takeout service, and made Ada the head chef.
