Episode 5 recap: Xiao Xuan frowned and tested Tang Wanwan.
Tang Wanwan's father, who initially didn't believe it, asked Tang Wanwan to pretend to be sick and test it out. As expected, it worked, and they had Tang Yiner and her mother taken away. Xiao Xuan found Tang Wanwan's behavior towards him strange, suspecting that she might remember things from their past life and wanted to test her. Xiao Xuan visited the Tang family and claimed to want to check the accounts of the Minister's Mansion. Tang Wanwan thought this matter might be related to the false accusation and treason that her father suffered in their past life.
Tang Wanwan asked Xiao Xuan if he was targeting her, but Xiao Xuan dismissed her concerns, stating that it was merely official business. Xiao Qing'an came to find Tang Wanwan and mentioned a new restaurant he had opened, inviting her to try it. Xiao Qing'an asked Xiao Xuan if he wanted to join them, and to Tang Wanwan's surprise, Xiao Xuan agreed.
The three of them went to the restaurant to have a meal, and Xiao Xuan had osmanthus porridge. Tang Wanwan knew that Xiao Xuan was allergic to osmanthus but didn't pay much attention. Xiao Xuan realized that Tang Wanwan didn't react, perhaps indicating that she didn't remember their past life. Xiao Xuan attempted another test and concluded that Tang Wanwan might truly have forgotten. The strategist informed Xiao Qing'an that he must seize the throne.
Xiao Qing'an felt that the Empress Dowager treated him well, but the strategist believed that she was only deceiving him. Xiao Xuan visited Tang Wanwan again, and she noticed that he was having an allergic reaction, so she had to administer medicine to him.
