Episode 3 recap: Gu Zhiyao refused the prince's plea to stay.

Gu Zhiyao easily bought a house, but she felt it was cheap and the owner was in a hurry to sell. So she inquired and learned that the neighboring prime minister's house had a silver-haired, odd-eyed creature that fed on blood. Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyao became worried. Just then, Green Lord Liu suddenly appeared. He thought Gu Zhiyao believed what others said and was no different from anyone else. He was about to bite Gu Zhiyao when he suddenly returned to normal.

Puzzled, Gu Zhiyao asked Green Lord Liu for the reason. It turned out that Green Lord Liu was originally a child of the prime minister's household. The prime minister was falsely accused by the treacherous minister Luo Haijie and was killed along with his family. The prime minister sent Green Lord Liu away for cultivation. Due to scars from his early years, Green Lord Liu couldn't control himself whenever he got excited. The day Gu Zhiyao met him was when he was being pursued and injured.

The guard of the prince's residence, Zhui Feng, felt that the prince wasn't worth it for the sake of listening to lavish spending. However, the prince realized that Gu Zhiyao was putting a lot of effort into getting close to him. Zhui Feng also suspected that Gu Zhiyao might be someone sent by the emperor. It turned out that the prince's invitation this time was a test for Gu Zhiyao. In order to find out what he wanted, Gu Zhiyao decided to meet him alone at the prince's residence. The prince was also testing Gu Zhiyao, but he didn't get any answers.

When Gu Zhiyao played music in the prince's residence, both the prince and Zhui Feng were enchanted. Seizing the opportunity, Zhui Feng proposed that Gu Zhiyao stay by the prince's side. However, Gu Zhiyao declined the offer of a life of luxury. Gu Zhiyao also realized that the prince had been testing her all along, but she admired the prince's admiration for her unruly spirit.
