Episode 12 recap: Li Muyu suddenly started changing the plot.
Zhang Yimeng leaned against Jing Cheng, unsure of how to explain to him. So, she told him the story of Zhuang Gong's dream of a butterfly, implying that the person who is dreaming might be the most awake. While they were talking, the maid Linglan suddenly ran in and told Jing Cheng that someone had died. Since this wasn't part of the script, Jing Cheng only learned from Old Zhang that it was Li Muyu causing mischief. Li Muyu brought Zhang Yimeng in front of a corpse and told her that the woman had drowned.
Jing Cheng angrily warned Li Muyu that his reckless actions could turn everyone's efforts into nothing. Zhang Yimeng leaned against Jing Cheng, unsure of how to explain to him. So, she told him the story of Zhuang Gong's dream of a butterfly, implying that the person who is dreaming might be the most awake.
While the two were talking, the character played by Li Muyu, the Third Prince, suddenly entered. Jing Cheng wanted Li Muyu to leave, but Li Muyu took the initiative to sit down. As Jing Cheng was contemplating how to get rid of him, the maid Linglan suddenly ran in and told him that someone had died. Since this wasn't part of the script, Jing Cheng was greatly surprised and thought that something had happened to one of the actors. He asked Li Muyu to accompany Zhang Yimeng while he hurriedly went to find Old Zhang.
After meeting with Old Zhang, Jing Cheng learned from him that it was actually Li Muyu causing trouble. Worried about what Li Muyu might do, he hurriedly returned. Li Muyu brought Zhang Yimeng to a morgue where there were some prepared corpses. Li Muyu originally intended to scare Zhang Yimeng to dissuade her from committing suicide. Zhang Yimeng initially appeared calm, but it wasn't until Li Muyu brought her in front of a female corpse and told her that the woman had drowned, and she saw water oozing from the body, that Zhang Yimeng's face turned pale.
Seeing Zhang Yimeng's reaction, Li Muyu thought his method had worked. When Jing Cheng arrived, Li Muyu told him that Zhang Yimeng was afraid of water. Only then did Li Muyu realize that he had caused trouble.
