Episode 10 recap: Lv Dong Bin tested Chen Mu Kun.
Bai Xue Hua felt that Jin Ye would not let her go easily, and she should go back; otherwise, it would also affect the other sisters. Chen Mu Kun didn't want Bai Xue Hua to go back and believed that she could escape. Bai Xue Hua felt that she had no way to leave, but Chen Mu Kun assured her that he had a plan. He had already arranged things in another town, and he suggested that Bai Xue Hua go there first and wait for him. They would then go to the county together. As long as they reached the provincial capital, Jin Ye wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
Bai Xue Hua found the plan feasible and agreed. Now, Xin Zheng Yi and the others had no choice but to go with Zhi Nan to seal Jin Ye's gambling den. Chen Mu Kun suggested arranging a reconciliation banquet for Jin Ye and Xin Zheng Yi, believing that their ongoing conflict was harmful to the townspeople. It would be better for them to shake hands and make peace, which would also benefit the residents.
Both Jin Ye and Xin Zheng Yi attended the banquet. Since there was a deity present, the dishes served should be vegetarian. However, a meat dish was served instead. Jin Ye used this as an opportunity to express his dissatisfaction, questioning why they would serve meat dishes. He wanted to teach them a lesson. He Xian Gu asked her son what was going on, and he admitted that he deliberately ordered the meat dish.
Xin Zheng Yi considered it a minor issue and asked Jin Ye not to make a big deal out of it. However, Jin Ye insisted that he wanted to use this opportunity to resolve all the matters at hand. He mentioned that his gambling den had been sealed and demanded an explanation from Xin Zheng Yi. The police chief clarified that he had not ordered the sealing of Jin Ye's gambling den. Jin Ye blamed Zhi Nan for acting on his own and demanded that the police chief handle the situation. The police chief suggested imposing a fine on Zhi Nan, but Jin Ye insisted on having him fired. Xin Zheng Yi felt it hadn't reached that point, but Jin Ye was relentless. Zhi Nan then voluntarily resigned.
Chen Mu Kun wanted to take all the money and elope with Bai Xue Hua.
Lv Dong Bin had long known about Chen Mu Kun's plan. He obtained a bottle of Huangliang wine from He Xian Gu, who warned him about its powerful magic and advised him not to use it casually.
However, Lv Dong Bin felt that there was no other option at the moment and decided to give the Huangliang wine a try. Chen Mu Kun approached Lv Dong Bin with a bottle of wine and made various excuses to drink with them, intending to get Lv Dong Bin and the others drunk so that he could go find Bai Xue Hua.
Lv Dong Bin handed the Huangliang wine to Chen Mu Kun, who drank it and became intoxicated. Chen Mu Kun had a dream in which he did indeed go to find Bai Xue Hua, but she never showed up.
Chen Mu Kun called Bai Xue Hua, who explained that she had gone to the train station but was captured by Jin Ye. He demanded that she become his concubine, and she had no other choice but to agree. Chen Mu Kun was devastated and couldn't believe that Bai Xue Hua had agreed to become Jin Ye's concubine.
Chen Mu Kun overheard others discussing how the townspeople had given their money to the temple, only to have the charlatan run away with it. Jin Ye incited a riot, and many people were injured. Chen Mu Kun was shocked to see that Xin Zheng Yi, who had gone to handle the riot, had suffered a head injury and was now mentally impaired.
Li Hao Cai believed that all of this was caused by Chen Mu Kun. They had placed so much trust in him, never expecting that he would betray them in such a way. Chen Mu Kun was filled with guilt and tears streamed down his face. Lv Dong Bin witnessed this and believed that Chen Mu Kun could still be redeemed.
A-Xian Gu instructed Lv Dong Bin to try to wake up Chen Mu Kun, but despite trying various methods, Lv Dong Bin was unsuccessful. He went to seek He Xian Gu's help, but the current He Xian Gu was no longer the divine being she once was and had no idea what Lv Dong Bin was talking about.
