Episode 2 recap: Yun Huan recognized Qing Que.
Mu Wang discovered powder in the wine cup and suspected that Qing Que had poisoned it. He forced Qing Que to drink the wine, but Yun Huan immediately revealed a half-length dagger from his sleeve. Seeing this, Qing Que quickly drank the wine to prevent Yun Huan from taking action and ruining her plan to enter Mu Wang's residence. Mu Wang saw that Qing Que drank the wine without any harm and asked Yun Huan how to deal with her. Yun Huan suggested bringing Qing Que back to the Wang residence to investigate her background thoroughly.
In Mu Wang's residence, Qing Que finally stepped into her enemy's home. Confronted by Yun Huan's offensive sword, Qing Que didn't get angry but instead teased him, urging Yun Huan to join forces with her and wreak havoc in Mu Wang's residence. Yun Huan knew that Qing Que had been harmed by Qing Cheng in the past, leaving a large scar on her face. Although her face was now flawless, the red birthmark on her tiger mouth, symbolizing good luck, was still there. Yun Huan had already confirmed that Qing Que was the same Qing Que he had fallen in love with.
When Qing Cheng, the princess of Qing Cheng County, learned that Mu Wang had taken a concubine and came to visit, she saw the ambiguous interaction between Qing Que and Yun Huan and the face of Qing Que. She immediately lost her composure and demanded that Yun Huan kick Qing Que out of Mu Wang's residence. However, Yun Huan reminded Qing Cheng that they were only contractual husband and wife and that he had never touched her. He advised her to be sensible. Angry, Qing Cheng turned and left. The next day, the suspicious Mu Wang deliberately tested Qing Que with snacks from the southern frontier. Since Yun Huan had already confirmed Qing Que's identity, he quickly made up for her mistakes, and they became like two fleas on the same rope.
Qing Que specially sent soup to Mu Wang to seek reconciliation, but Mu Wang asked Qing Que to give the soup to Yun Huan. When Qing Que accidentally spilled the poisoned soup, Mu Wang immediately raised his hand to slap her. Once again, Yun Huan helped Qing Que avoid the slap, but Mu Wang was determined to consummate his marriage with Qing Que that night.
