Episode 2 recap: Tu Qian Zhou advances in the competition.
Tu Qian Zhou suspects that Wan Yu is a spy from the Southern Qi Kingdom, so he intentionally asks Shu Chen to assign them the same participant number. He challenges Wan Yu to determine who is superior. Jia Yue Gong Zhu, a fan of Wan Yu, watches her with admiration.
Tu Qian Zhou warns Wan Yu to keep his identity a secret, otherwise neither of them will be able to participate in the competition. The two reach an agreement and collaborate on a performance that earns them praise from the audience and advances them to the next round. Jin Xin Xin, a wealthy heir, particularly likes Wan Yu and eagerly showers her with compliments, which annoys Tu Qian Zhou. In a mishap, Tu Qian Zhou trips and his height-boosting shoes fall off, exposing his height secret.
As the advancing contestants begin changing clothes and doing portraits, Wan Yu hesitates to change clothes in front of everyone. Tu Qian Zhou gives her a disdainful look, indicating for her to go outside to help her. Jin Xin Xin invites Wan Yu to join him for a bath in the evening, but she rejects his invitation. The contestants in the advancing round are assigned dormitories, and Wan Yu ends up living with nine other men. She deliberately chooses a spot at the edge, and Tu Qian Zhou selects a place next to her to protect her identity as a woman.
During a break when everyone is resting, Tu Qian Zhou secretly meets with Shu Chen, who urges him to accelerate his practice of the musical piece. The performance is approaching, and the contestants begin applying face masks and skincare for the sake of their appearance. Some even suggest going for a milk bath. Wan Yu starts to handle the bathing matter and suddenly realizes she can use Tu Qian Zhou to her advantage, pretending to save his musical piece.
