Episode 2 recap: Ye Shao discovered that Yuan Ming Yu had lost her memory.
Ye Shao thought she was still the promiscuous Fourth Princess and believed that she was infatuated with her own beauty. He firmly refused to move into the princess's quarters. While Ye Shao was bathing, Yuan Ming Yu unexpectedly arrived on her own. Ye Shao felt embarrassed and dirty as she looked at him from head to toe.
Ye Shao confided in his uncle Feng Congshan, expressing his belief that the current Yuan Ming Yu was different from before. However, when she asked him to move into her quarters, he staunchly refused. His uncle advised him to comply with Yuan Ming Yu, not only moving into her quarters but also seducing her. Ye Shao was unhappy with his uncle's suggestion of sacrificing himself. In response, his uncle recounted the events of the previous dynasty, urging him to quickly obtain the fish talisman in order to achieve the great cause of restoring the country.
Helpless, Ye Shao reluctantly agreed. When the Prince Consort learned that Yuan Ming Yu had allowed Ye Shao to live in her quarters, he became furious. He rushed to reprimand Yuan Ming Yu for disregarding moral principles by engaging in an affair with a man other than her husband within the residence. Yuan Ming Yu reminded him to be mindful of his identity, which further angered the Prince Consort. He insisted that she stop using her princess status to oppress him and suggested that the Third Princess was far superior to her. Yuan Ming Yu knew that the Prince Consort had originally been close to the Third Princess and that the emperor had forced him to marry her instead. In a slip of the tongue, the Prince Consort blamed the emperor for the situation. Yuan Ming Yu pointed out that it was his own words, leaving the Prince Consort shocked and speechless before hastily leaving.
Assassin Sun Xiang woke up and revealed that she sought revenge on behalf of her brother, Sun Jia. However, Yuan Ming Yu had completely forgotten about the past events. Ye Shao noticed that Yuan Ming Yu had changed completely, and she warned him not to reveal her amnesia to anyone.
