Episode 20 recap: Duke Zhengguo and his daughter Yun Jiao recognized each other.

In fact, the reason why Xueqing and Yun Jiao were able to stand on the same side was also because they both liked Murong Cang. Yun Jiao pleaded with Xueqing for help, and Xueqing, who actually had good intentions, revealed that she herself had been picked up by Duke Zhengguo. In the past, Xueqing was also ignored on the streets until Duke Zhengguo took pity on her and brought her back, pretending that she was Yun Jiao. At that time, Duke Zhengguo gave Xueqing two options: either to marry into another family or to enter the palace. Xueqing chose the latter so that she could stay by the side of the person she cared about. Yun Jiao was curious about why Xueqing liked Murong Cang, but Xueqing herself couldn't explain it clearly. Initially, Xueqing was worried that the real princess would appear, but when Yun Jiao showed up, Xueqing felt relieved.

Yun Jiao knew that she was just a pawn, but she hoped to be able to help Murong Cang. Now, Yun Jiao has returned to Duke Zhengguo's side and has been conferred the title of princess. Duke Zhengguo took Yun Jiao to her former room, but Yun Jiao doesn't remember anything about it.

Nowadays, Duke Zhengguo is holding Xueqing accountable again, as she had bullied Yun Jiao before. Xueqing doesn't understand why, despite all her efforts, Duke Zhengguo still refuses to look at her directly. Murong Cang is very worried about Yun Jiao, but fortunately, a letter arrives that makes him very angry when he reads it.

Yun Jiao is contemplating how she can help Murong Cang next. Just at that moment, a group of people dressed in black suddenly breaks into the room, and to her surprise, Yun Jiao discovers that it is actually Murong Cang. He wants Yun Jiao to go back with him and tells her everything, but Yun Jiao refuses. She wants to stay here and be able to help Murong Cang. In order to achieve this, Yun Jiao says many hurtful words, intentionally making Murong Cang think that she no longer loves him.
