Episode 11 recap: Li Caiwei persuaded Liu Jingshu to cooperate.
Upon seeing that Huai Jin was not intimate with her, Liu couldn't help but recall the tragic memory of her child's stillbirth. If her child were still alive, she wouldn't have such worries. Shen Huaijin brought pastries for Li Caiwei, who happily invited him to sit down. Shen Huaijin mentioned that he had to study and took his leave. Before leaving, he asked Li Caiwei to address him as Huai Bin. Li Caiwei, who had been calling him "Second Young Master," now found it unfamiliar.
Observing that Shen Huaijin was a cheerful and straightforward young man, Li Caiwei concluded that he wouldn't harm Shen Huaijin. She pulled Lanxin aside to inquire about Liu Jingshu. Liu Jingshu used to be an educated and polite girl, but upon meeting Shen Huaijin, she seemed like a completely different person. That evening, she came to see Shen Huaijin again, but he declined, citing the late hour, and only handed her a coat before closing the door.
Liu Jingshu wondered why, if Shen Huaijin didn't like Li Caiwei, he couldn't be in a relationship with her. Shen Huaijin immediately corrected her, stating that he only liked Li Caiwei. Disappointed, Liu Jingshu turned around. Li Caiwei approached her and revealed that she knew Liu Jingshu's approach to Shen Huaijin was forced because Liu's mother had used Liu Jingshu's own mother as leverage. Li Caiwei proposed that instead of being used, they should cooperate and work together to bring down the Liu family and save their respective mothers. Liu Jingshu looked at Li Caiwei with doubt and uncertainty.
Liu ordered Liu Jingshu to put aphrodisiacs in the pastries that Huaijin would give to Li Caiwei, and then instructed her to bring Shen Huaijin back. Liu Jingshu obeyed the command, while an evil smile appeared on Liu's face.
