Episode 2 recap: Liu Yueqing traveled back in time to before her marriage.

When the eunuch brought the poisoned wine, Liu Yueqing said that she was already familiar with the procedure and could handle it herself. She drank the poisoned wine. Pei Xun, who saw this, was also shocked.

When Liu Yueqing woke up, her mother was crying by her bedside, saying that even if Liu Yueqing didn't want to marry Pei Xun, she didn't have to go to such extremes. Liu Yueqing felt that something was wrong and asked what time it was. She learned that she had just been married to Pei Xun and hadn't consummated the marriage yet. She was very happy.

Liu Yueqing didn't want to marry Pei Xun and sought death. Her father went to see the emperor. Liu Yueqing's maid brought medicine from the garden for Liu Yueqing to drink, but Liu Yueqing said she didn't know what her future would be like and didn't have the mood to drink the medicine.

Liu Yueqing's father returned and said that the emperor, considering their family's hard work, had agreed to cancel the marriage. Liu Yueqing was extremely happy and immediately drank the medicine. Pei Xun also learned about this and his subordinates said that Liu Yueqing lacked vision and would surely regret it in the future.

Both Liu Yueqing and Pei Xun had nightmares of Pei Xun choking Liu Yueqing. They woke up from the dream. Pei Xun now didn't know who this woman was but had been having nightmares. Liu Yueqing went to participate in the lantern riddles and encountered a refined and elegant young gentleman.
