Episode 2 recap: Li Caiwei is trapped in a death loop.
The pursuers were chasing after Li Caiwei, pressuring her to return for burial. Li Caiwei would rather die than comply and jumped off a cliff. When Li Caiwei woke up again, time had rewound to twenty days before the wedding. Li Caiwei realized that she had entered a death loop, where she would be captured and buried every time the prince died. Determined to break free from this cycle, she decided to find the prince, Shen Huai Jin, and cancel their engagement.
The Pingyang Prince's mansion was incredibly vast, and Li Caiwei searched high and low but couldn't find the prince. However, she overheard two people discussing using poison to kill the prince. Li Caiwei wanted to see who those two people were, but someone covered her mouth from behind and stabbed her to death. Li Caiwei woke up again, and time had rewound to thirty days before the wedding.
Li Caiwei counted that she had died five times already. She was eating buns in her room when she heard Lanxin and Dingxiang arguing. It was clear that Dingxiang was falsely accusing Lanxin. Li Caiwei remembered that it was Dingxiang who had poisoned her, so she became furious upon hearing her voice. Li Caiwei burst out of the room and without hesitation slapped Dingxiang across the face.
Dingxiang sought help from the queen with a grievance. Li Caiwei took immediate action and kicked Dingxiang towards the queen. The queen was about to order her men to deal with Li Caiwei when the prince arrived and stopped the queen and others from acting, taking Li Caiwei away from the scene. During their conversation, Li Caiwei learned that the queen was the prince's stepmother.
She quickly informed the prince that someone was trying to poison her, but the prince thought she was acting crazy. When Li Caiwei heard Lanxin describe the prince as handsome and wealthy, the prince charming of all the women in the capital, she concluded that he was a scumbag.
