Episode 2 recap: Gu Zhiyao and Green Junliu are wanted.
Gu Zhiyao and Nong Die's performance marked the official beginning of their competition. However, Nong Die had secretly snapped the strings of Gu Zhiyao's pipa in advance. To her surprise, Gu Zhiyao took out a modern instrument, a guitar, and played music flawlessly. The audience around was impressed and gave unanimous praise. They even caught the attention of important figures who came to watch the competition.
After finishing the performance, the audience wanted Gu Zhiyao to continue playing. However, Gu Zhiyao declined, stating that she only played one piece every seven days. As she was about to leave the stage, Qian Sanshao, a medicine merchant, offered her a thousand taels of silver to play exclusively for him. Delighted by the large sum of money, Gu Zhiyao agreed. Suddenly, the prince appeared and offered an even higher price to invite Gu Zhiyao to play for him. Gu Zhiyao saw both of them as fools and intended to take advantage of their competition. She decided to accept the prince's offer first.
The owner of the music house saw the prince and Qian Sanshao competing to spend a fortune on Gu Zhiyao and was delighted. She went to Gu Zhiyao's room to congratulate her. Meanwhile, Green Junliu showed the broken strings of the pipa to the music house owner, indicating that someone was trying to discredit the music house. The owner became angry upon seeing it. Gu Zhiyao knew it was Nong Die's doing but pretended not to know in order to inquire about the news of the national teacher.
Feeling happy upon seeing the gold, Gu Zhiyao, Green Junliu became concerned about Gu Zhiyao's safety. They suggested returning to their temporary residence. However, their wanted posters were already posted on the streets, and they couldn't go back there. Gu Zhiyao decided to buy a new house instead.
