Episode 23 recap: Zhu Ying Hua discovered that the murderer who killed her son was actually her father.
Zhu Ying Hua is now determined to seek revenge. She has her gun aimed at Romeo, but fortunately, her accomplice steps in to stop Zhu Ying Hua. Wanshitong and Zhu Ying Tai quickly take Romeo and leave. Romeo wants to go back to Juliet, but Wanshitong knocks him unconscious because he doesn't want him to go and get killed. After all, Zhu Ying Hua's current target is Romeo.
Juliet still refuses to marry anyone. Just when Uncle Er is about to kill Zhu Lihua, luckily Zhu Ying Tai's mother arrives. Juliet pleads with her aunt that if Romeo is already dead, she doesn't want to live either. In that case, she takes out a poison and Juliet consumes it without much hesitation.
By the time Uncle Er arrives, it's already too late. Juliet lies on the sofa, no longer breathing. Romeo soon learns about this news, but she refuses to believe that Juliet is actually dead. Wanshitong says he saw Juliet's body with his own eyes, and Romeo becomes extremely distraught. She still refuses to believe any of it and accuses Wanshitong of lying.
Romeo states that even if it's a corpse, she will save Juliet. Romeo does see Juliet, but by this time, Juliet has already ceased to breathe, and Romeo becomes highly agitated. She blames herself, thinking that if she had come earlier to pick up Juliet, this wouldn't have happened. Romeo plans to commit suicide to be with Juliet, and just as she is about to pull the trigger, Juliet miraculously wakes up.
Later, Juliet reveals that it was all Zhu Ying Tai's mother's doing. It turns out Zhu Ying Tai had misunderstood them. The godmother also discovers Romeo's biological mother and learns that Uncle Er had secretly met with her. Zhu Lihua takes this opportunity to try to escape, but Uncle Er tracks them and captures Romeo, Juliet, and Zhu Lihua together.
Zhu Ying Hua doesn't intend to kill Romeo first. Instead, she wants to lure Romilin out so they can all be killed together, including the sons of the Luo family. After learning about this, Romeo's biological mother still wants to lure Romilin over, as she actually wants to kill all the brothers in the Luo family. Molly, who knows her mother's intentions, wants to expose all the brothers in the Luo family. Originally, her mother promised Molly that everything would end once Russell died, but now she refuses to stop.
Molly says that if any of the brothers loses a single hair, she will never forgive them in her lifetime.
Molly, feeling upset, went to drink and get drunk with Rose and her companions. In reality, she doesn't know what to do now because, after all, this person is her own mother. Someone tried to harass Molly but ended up being taught a lesson by her good friends; however, Molly still got injured.
At night, Molly's mother had a nightmare in which she was strangled to death by her daughter. At that moment, she received a phone call informing her that Molly had been taken to the hospital, so she hurried to visit her daughter. Molly pleaded with her mother to spare them, and her mother agreed, saying she would bring Romilin back, and they would get married. Molly stayed by Romilin's side, helping him overcome his drug addiction. Romilin was locked in a room, and soon he claimed to be better, but in reality, he was in a very bad state. He was still emotionally irritated, so Molly sang to him, hoping to ease Romilin's pain.
Zhu Ying Tai's mother met Zhu Ying Hua and said she was leaving but wanted to see Juliet before she did. Zhu Ying Hua agreed. In reality, Zhu Ying Tai's mother wanted to persuade Zhu Ying Hua to give up, as turning away from violence would be the best choice. However, Zhu Ying Hua had made up her mind.
Juliet and Zhu Lihua were prepared in their room, ready to forcefully break out if someone entered. Juliet told Zhu Ying Tai's mother that she had a gun hidden in the secret compartment of the study. If she could get the gun, she was confident they could escape. However, when Zhu Ying Tai's mother went to steal the gun, Uncle Er discovered her. Just as Uncle Er was about to kill her, Zhu Ying Hua arrived and stopped him in time. Uncle Er didn't say much.
Zhu Ying Tai also learned that his mother had been shot, and he was determined to take the bullet for her. He also promised to rescue Juliet and Zhu Lihua. Zhu Ying Tai's mother went to meet Wanshitong and gave him a jade pendant left behind by Zhu Ying Tai's father, which was a sign of her approval. She also took out a ping pong ball that she found in Uncle Er's study and sent someone to investigate whether Uncle Er had left District Eight after Haoge's birthday.
