Episode 18 recap: Jing Qi Er and Huan Yun Hua are acting.
Jing Qi Er holds onto Huan Yun Hua and says that they are actually very much in love, but the officials claim that they have been monitoring the people's every word and action. Now there is solid evidence. Huan Yun Hua pushes Jing Qi Er away and says that they were indeed in love before, but their relationship has recently broken down, and they are preparing for a divorce. Jing Qi Er looks at him in surprise. Huan Yun Hua continues, saying that they can stop selling "Mandarin Duck" tea, but please don't ban their other products. The official glances at Uncle Er and agrees, but requests that Huan Yun Hua and the others comply with their statements. If they say they will divorce, they must divorce, as the authorities will be watching them closely.
After the matter is settled, Uncle Er hands a bag of money to the official. Sai Mudan disagrees with Huan Yun Hua's statement about getting a divorce during the day, but Huan Yun Hua says that divorce is the only solution to this crisis. Jing Qi Er asks why, and Huan Yun Hua explains that someone behind the scenes cannot stand seeing them in love. As long as they appear distant, the situation can be resolved. Jing Qi Er asks who would be so twisted, but Sai Mudan figures it out and asks if it's Uncle Er. Huan Yun Hua smiles but remains silent, and the three of them share a laugh.
The next day, Jing Qi Er and Huan Yun Hua behave as if their relationship is not good. They don't sleep together and both have a restless night. They go out to admire the moon and happen to meet each other. They were about to have a sweet moment when Uncle Er suddenly appears, and they quickly pretend. During breakfast, they continue their act of revenge while actually caring for each other.
