Episode 5 recap: Yu Wen Yuan drove away Ye Ruyu.
Yu Wen Yuan expressed his desire to eat osmanthus cake and asked Su Yan to bring him a plate. Su Yan returned with the osmanthus cake, and Yu Wen Yuan pulled Ye Ruyu into his arms. Yu Wen Yuan asked Su Yan what she should do if she were not human. Since she could only kneel down and bring the osmanthus cake to Yu Wen Yuan, he asked Ye Ruyu to feed him. Ye Ruyu took a piece and fed it to Yu Wen Yuan.
Ye Ruyu mocked Su Yan's sister, saying that Su Yan had always liked Yu Wen Ying Ren, so when he became available, she immediately married him. Ye Ruyu wondered what Su Yan's sister would think if she knew about this. Su Yan slapped Ye Ruyu, asserting the dignity of her sister and criticizing Ye Ruyu for freely mocking her. She regarded herself as nothing more than a substitute, so there was no reason for her to be proud. Su Yan also questioned whether Yu Wen Yuan would truly be happy as an emperor.
Su Yan left directly, and Ye Ruyu reminded Yu Wen Yuan not to forget her position as the empress. However, Yu Wen Yuan considered himself a substitute and believed that he was not worthy of being an emperor, so he ordered Ye Ruyu to be sent back. A maid informed Su Yan about this and mentioned that Ye Ruyu was carried back in a sack.
If Yu Wen Yuan comes to find Su Yan, it means that he no longer wants to wait and demands to receive what he believes he deserves today. Su Yan tells Yu Wen Yuan not to stay here.
