Episode 15 recap: The bride was scared to death by the groom with a ghostly face.
In the dead of night, as Lihua, the bride, was about to marry into the Tong family, Wang Po hastily brought the wedding entourage to fetch Lihua and hurriedly placed her in the bridal sedan. Lihua had some suspicions about the timing of the procession, but Wang Po assured her that it was arranged by the Tong family and had to take place at that specific hour for auspiciousness. As Lihua was carried to the Tong residence, she immediately went to the hall to pay respects to the young master of the Tong family. However, the hall was pitch black with no lights, which made Lihua feel uneasy.
With doubts in her mind, Lihua secretly peeked at the groom from under her veil, only to discover that the groom had no face. This sight terrified her to the point of fainting on the spot. Startled, Lihua woke up on her bed, realizing that everything that had just happened seemed as though it hadn't occurred at all. The maidservant from the Tong family hurried Lihua to get up and dress, mentioning that Lihua had been sleeping for a long time, leaving Lihua confused.
While Lihua was still questioning whether it was all a dream, Wang Po entered and urged her to go to the hall. Seeing that Wang Po seemed fine, Lihua concluded that it must have been just a dream. As Lihua got up and prepared herself, Che Su Wei came to deliver a wedding gift and reminded her to take her medication on time to prevent a recurrence of myocarditis.
Lihua wanted to discuss the nightmare with Che Su Wei because it had deeply disturbed her, but Wang Po didn't have time to listen to their personal matters and urgently insisted that Lihua proceed to the hall. Che Su Wei couldn't attend the wedding, so Lihua had to face the ceremony alone, while the guests in attendance started gossiping about the Tong family's wedding.
The Tong family's tea sales were poor, resulting in a significant debt. To silence the creditors and tea farmers, they had no choice but to take Lihua and rely on her family to help repay the debt. During the wedding ceremony, Lihua discreetly glanced at the groom and was relieved to see a handsome man. After the ceremony, Lihua eagerly awaited her groom, but before they could exchange a few words as a couple, Chen, the estate manager, knocked on the door, asking Tong Jiu Long to prepare for the new tea launch event.
At the tea launch event, Tong Jiu Long performed exceptionally well, securing direct orders from all the distributors and alleviating the Tong family's financial concerns.
Yan Jun Jie and Wang Liang followed a habitual thief to the slums, only to encounter Che Su Wei and learn that she was there providing medical assistance to the people in the slums. After Che Su Wei found out that her patient had a relapse upon Yan Jun Jie's intrusion, she treated him and told Yan Jun Jie and his group to leave. Lihua brought some supplies for Che Su Wei to aid the people in the slums and took the opportunity to discuss matters concerning the Tong family.
Lihua had been married to the Tong family for a couple of months but had rarely seen Tong Jiu Long. Every time they met, they exchanged only a few words before Tong Jiu Long was called away by someone else, leading Lihua to suspect that something was amiss in the Tong family. Lihua explained the situation and sought Che Su Wei's help in analyzing it. However, since Che Su Wei was not familiar with the Tong family's circumstances, she could only advise Lihua to be understanding, communicate more with Tong Jiu Long, and be a supportive wife.
Upon hearing Che Su Wei's advice, Lihua returned to the Tong family to continue her role as Tong Jiu Long's wife. However, in the middle of the night, she felt a presence outside her window, which frightened her and made it difficult for her to sleep. Just as Lihua was feeling scared, the estate manager, Chen, appeared. Lihua questioned him about Tong Jiu Long's whereabouts, but Chen claimed that Tong Jiu Long was away on a business trip.
Unable to see Tong Jiu Long and frustrated, Lihua insisted on going to the police station to report the situation. It was only then that Chen assured her that Tong Jiu Long would return once it was daylight. True to Chen's words, Tong Jiu Long appeared at the Tong family's home early the next morning, looking troubled. He revealed that the Tong family had fallen into decline and expressed his intention to divorce Lihua and have her leave the Tong family.
Lihua couldn't accept Tong Jiu Long's decision to divorce her. She questioned herself, believing she had done nothing wrong to deserve being divorced. However, Tong Jiu Long remained firm in his decision, offering no explanation before being called away by Chen. Lihua didn't know what to do and turned to Che Su Wei to explain everything. Upon learning about Lihua's situation, Che Su Wei advised Lihua to seek help from her lawyer friend and fight for her rights to reclaim her rightful share of the family's assets.
Following the lawyer's advice, Lihua confronted Tong Jiu Long at home and demanded a fair division of the Tong family's assets, which infuriated Tong Jiu Long. That night, as Lihua went to sleep, Tong Jiu Long returned to their room, and Lihua hoped to have aheart-to-heart conversation with him, making him understand that she didn't want the Tong family's wealth but rather wanted to live a happy life with him.
Lihua believed that her sincerity could change Tong Jiu Long's mind, but to her shock, she saw Tong Jiu Long with a ghostly face, which scared her to death.
