Episode 21 recap: Jiang Changqing's Heartlessness Curse takes effect.
Yan'er insisted on getting close to Jiang Changqing no matter what. Wherever he went, she followed. She thought everything could continue as planned, but the unexpected visit of Yingying and Jiang's mother disrupted her plans. The fox demon didn't hide her true identity either, and her true nature was exposed, causing Jiang's mother to faint in fear. Yan'er relentlessly pursued Jiang Changqing, incessantly pressuring him to be with her. At a critical moment, Yingying brought Jiang's mother to the hall. Seeing everything in front of her, Yan'er seemed somewhat incredulous. She couldn't understand how Yingying and the others had discovered her. Didn't she leave with her belongings? How could she have returned?
In fact, Changqing had already noticed something was amiss with Yan'er before. He always felt that she was deliberately getting close to Jiang's mother and intentionally sabotaging their relationship. This also reminded Changqing of the white-robed woman from before, with her foxy temperament that was truly unpleasant. However, Yan'er carried a sachet with her, which masked any scent, making it impossible to discern. So the group discussed and decided to stage a play.
They deliberately made Jiang's mother misunderstand and dislike Yingying, driving her out of the Jiang residence. They also pretended to create a rift between Changqing and Yingying, with Changqing deliberately being cold towards Yingying, creating an opportunity for Yan'er to take advantage. Only in this way could they make her completely let her guard down. Upon hearing the entire plan, Yan'er suddenly felt that she had underestimated Yingying. She immediately launched an attack, but Yingying was always protected by the Matchmaker and couldn't defeat the fox demon. As a result, Changqing was injured, and it was only at the critical moment that the Matchmaker intervened to save him.
Due to the effects of the Heartlessness Curse, Changqing had long forgotten about Yingying and didn't even recognize who she was. Yingying looked at Changqing in front of her, feeling deeply saddened.
