Episode 12 recap: Yunhuan desperately tries to salvage the relationship with Qingque.
Yunhuan, aware of the truth, is deeply shaken and drinks alone in the pavilion. Qingque finds Yunhuan in the pavilion and, upon hearing him call her "Qingqing," she becomes furious and slaps him hard, reminding him that she is now his stepmother. Despite Qingque's struggles and refusals, Yunhuan carries her back to his room and obsessively claims her as his own.
The next day, Qingque wakes up, tidies herself, and prepares to leave. Yunhuan quickly approaches her, expressing his feelings and promising to send Qingcheng and Muwang to the estate if it would make her happy. However, Qingque rejects continuing the relationship and leaves without hesitation, leaving Yunhuan feeling deeply disappointed. On that day, Yan Xuncao enters the Wang Mansion to treat Muwang's illness. Qingcheng accuses Yan Xuncao of having an affair with Qingque. Yan Xuncao skillfully restrains Qingcheng and even touches her body to diagnose her, explaining that Qingcheng's internal fire is too strong and he needs to prescribe medicine for her.
Feeling like a failure, Qingcheng is baffled as to why both Yan Xuncao and Yunhuan love Qingque. Yan Xuncao takes advantage of the situation and provokes Qingcheng. Today, Qingque is leaving the mansion and as she boards the carriage, she notices the familiar kite, causing her to drop it in surprise. Yunhuan catches Qingque in time and takes her to the place where Qingque was killed, recounting their past relationship. Unable to forget the pain Yunhuan caused her, Qingque intentionally cuts the kite string in her hand and then asks Yunhuan, who has his eyes covered, to retrieve the kite from a high platform. Unexpectedly, Yunhuan leaps over the railing and plummets face-up, resembling the posture of a kite.
