Episode 8 recap: Ji Lingsu undergoes a test to marry Lin Yumeng.

Just as Lin Yumeng returned to the store, her father called her. She answered the phone trembling with fear, and her father immediately started scolding her, not revealing what had happened, but warning her to be careful of the family's disciplinary measures. At this time, Ji Lingsu took the initiative to go to Lin Yumeng's house to propose marriage. However, Lin Yumeng was worried that he would be badly beaten by the alliance leader, so she advised him to return to his own home. The two returned to the martial arts studio, where all the senior brothers had gathered, which made Lin Yumeng nervous. Ji Lingsu greeted everyone warmly with gifts, but Lin's father publicly refused to let his daughter marry into a disreputable family, especially considering Ji Lingsu's numerous scandals that had occurred even before they were officially engaged.

Ji Lingsu expressed his sincere desire to marry Lin Yumeng and presented a dowry of five million yuan and a villa. However, Lin's father didn't take it seriously. He wanted his future son-in-law to take over the martial arts studio. Ji Lingsu said he could help promote the studio and contribute to its growth. Lin's father proposed a condition that Ji Lingsu had to pass three challenges in order to be accepted. Lin Yumeng was worried about his safety and was about to refuse, but Ji Lingsu agreed to the challenge.

The first challenge was for Ji Lingsu to chop three hundred onions, each with a thickness of no more than 0.5 cm. Lin Yumeng looked at Ji Lingsu, who was cutting onions with tears streaming down his face, and couldn't help but laugh. After completing the first challenge, Ji Lingsu gained the approval of Lin's mother. The second challenge was for him to fetch water back and forth multiple times. Ji Lingsu didn't complain at all, even though he had never done any physical labor before. As he stumbled and swayed, Lin Yumeng protected him and declared that she would not marry anyone else except him. However, at that moment, Ji Lingsu fainted, and Lin's father hurriedly carried him back into the house.
