Episode 12 recap: The sulfur explosion protected Yin Ji from Xie Yun.

Xie Yun and Yin Ji together released the first lantern, and afterwards, Xie Yun also gave Yin Ji a handmade gift, which made Yin Ji very happy, as it meant they could finally return to the past. The Madam held a brazier ceremony, and Xie Yun supported her as she walked over, but the Madam said she had accidentally sprained her hand, and asked Xie Yun to perform the ceremony in her place, which Xie Yun agreed to.

Xie Yun used a bamboo pole to reach into the brazier, which made the maid nervous, and the butler also suddenly smelled a strange odor. Yin Ji also detected the sulfur smell and immediately went to embrace Xie Yun, but they were both knocked to the ground by the explosion. When Xie Yun woke up, the maid was by her side, but Yin Ji, who had shielded Xie Yun from the brazier, was more seriously injured. The Madam was unharmed, just startled.

The maid told Xie Yun that Yin Ji cared deeply for her, and there may have been misunderstandings between them. Xie Yun quickly changed clothes and went to see Yin Ji, as the physician was still treating him. The butler told Xie Yun to rest, but she said she was fine and just wanted to stay by Yin Ji's side.

Yin Ji's burns were quite severe and he may need to rest for some time. He has been given medication to help with his injuries and is currently resting.

Xie Yun slowly approached Yin Ji, looking at him still unconscious, and wanted to reach out and hold his hand, but she hesitated and withdrew it.

Xie Yun remained by Yin Ji's side, and when he suddenly awoke, he saw Xie Yun sleeping next to him. He moved his hand slightly, relieved that he was not badly injured. Yin Ji turned to face Xie Yun, gently touching her, and when Xie Yun woke up, she started to cry. She told Yin Ji he was too foolish, but Yin Ji felt that as long as Xie Yun was alright, he could not lose her again.

At this time, an attendant reported that it was the maid of Xiao Baobao who had orchestrated everything. Xiao Baobao and the maid were then summoned. The maid initially tried to defend herself, but Qi Yan produced the letters of her dealings with the Xiao family, as well as the pearls she had used to bribe others, leaving her speechless. This time, Yin Ji harshly punished them.

Xie Yun remained by Yin Ji's side, caring for him, and he was very content. Xie Yun went to the dungeon, and the Xiao family's master was also imprisoned there due to this incident. Xiao Baobao's position as the city lady was also revoked. Xie Yun brought out her meager savings, vowing to clear her parents' names.
