Episode 23 recap: Shen Huai Bi plotted to seize the position of Crown Prince from Shen Huai Jin.
While Shen Huai Bi was studying, Shen Huai Jin and Li Cai Wei came to find him. Shen Huai Jin placed incense and flower tea in front of him, and Shen Huai Bi understood everything. Shen Huai Jin asked him why he wanted to harm himself, but Shen Huai Bi remained silent. Shen Huai Jin warned him not to assume that a medical student like him would be unaware of the toxicity that occurs when these two things are combined.
Shen Huai Bi recalled the night when Wang Zong Guan attempted to assassinate Li Cai Wei. That night, Liu Jing Shu came to find him and tried to persuade him to leave the Wang Mansion and live a life of their own. However, Shen Huai Bi insisted on staying because he was determined to obtain the position of Crown Prince, believing that it was the purpose of his existence. When Wang Zong Guan attacked Li Cai Wei, Shen Huai Bi appeared in time and acted as a hero, gaining the trust of Shen Huai Jin and Li Cai Wei.
Li Cai Wei couldn't understand why, despite being the Crown Prince, Shen Huai Jin still treated him as a son, but Shen Huai Bi replied slowly, emphasizing that there can only be one Crown Prince. He had always envied his elder brother Shen Huai Jin and felt that no matter what he did, he couldn't gain the favor of the Crown Prince. He saw himself only as a tool used by the Queen to deal with Shen Huai Jin, and he didn't want to live such a life.
Li Cai Wei told him that Shen Huai Jin had already made a decision. After their grand wedding, they would leave the Wang Mansion together and live a life of their own, and at that time, the Crown Prince would belong to Shen Huai Bi. Shen Huai Bi was surprised and speechless upon hearing this, and he sat heavily on the chair. Shen Huai Jin and Li Cai Wei went through hardships and finally got married. Li Cai Wei knew that the despicable cycle had finally ended, but she also felt a sense of loss because it meant she would be separated from Shen Huai Jin and return to her own world.
