Episode 4 recap: Xiao Yao decided to marry Feng Long.
Xiao Yao and A Nian opened a medicine shop in Yingzhou. Xiang Liu came to get some medicine, but in reality, he just wanted to see Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao expressed that she was in a bad mood and hadn't made the pills properly. Hearing this, Xiang Liu was very concerned, but he didn't want to reveal his feelings and just emphasized that he only hoped Xiao Yao wouldn't delay his medical treatment.
Xiao Yao was playing the zither, and Xiang Liu said he could not play it. Then, in front of Xiao Yao, he demonstrated his own zither skills. Since Xiao Yao left, Qiang Xuan had been writing letters to her, but Xiao Yao felt they should maintain their distance to avoid trouble, so she decided not to reply.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Qiang Xuan came to see Xiao Yao in person. Xiao Yao was startled and accidentally cut her hand with a knife. Qiang Xuan was very nervous and quickly treated Xiao Yao's injury. Xiao Yao felt Qiang Xuan's actions were too reckless, as the ruler should not visit commoners. However, Qiang Xuan missed Xiao Yao and wanted her to return to Xi Yan as soon as possible, so he came in person.
Qiang Xuan said he would be wherever Xiao Yao was, and if Xiao Yao wanted to stay in the market, he would not be the Xi Yan King anymore. In the end, Xiao Yao compromised and decided to go back with Qiang Xuan, but she made it clear to him that she was not willing.
After returning to Xi Yan, Xiao Yao was arranged to stay in Xiaoyue Ding because Grandfather lived there, and he did not like the Zijin Palace. Qiang Xuan guessed Xiao Yao would want to be closer to Grandfather, so he arranged for her to stay there. Xiao Yao was gloomy, and Qiang Xuan patiently tried to cheer her up. Since he had no choice, but wanted to keep Xiao Yao by his side, he could only do this. They sat together on the swing, and Qiang Xuan told Xiao Yao that she should not think about leaving him anymore, as he would be able to find her wherever she went.
Grandfather was very happy to see Xiao Yao return, but he got angry when he saw Qiang Xuan was still there. He told Qiang Xuan to go back to the Zijin Palace immediately, even though Xiaoqiao had been helping to cover for him. The ladies in the harem were not fools.
The next day, Xingyu came to visit Grandfather and also wanted to see Xiao Yao. When Xiao Yao met the Queen, she still did not forget to bring her luggage. Xingyu still hoped they could interact like before, but Xiao Yao felt that in front of outsiders, they should maintain basic etiquette.
Since Grandfather had gone out and was no longer at Xiaoyue Ding, Xingyu left after seeing Xiao Yao. On her way out, she saw a phoenix tree and was reminded of the night of Qiang Xuan's visit to the Phoenix Forest. Xiao Yao explained that the phoenix tree and the swing were Qiang Xuan's childhood memories. Xingyu felt a little depressed, coldly commenting that the Emperor was nostalgic, and then left.
Tu Shan Jing wanted to recover his previous memories, especially the memories of that night when he was intimate with Fangfeng. He wanted to know what exactly happened that night, as avoiding the past cannot solve any problems. However, delving too deeply into the past could seriously harm his heart and life. The past cannot be reclaimed, and old acquaintances cannot be kept, so Lirong Uncle did not agree with Tu Shan Jing's desire to recover his memories.
However, Tu Shan Jing was very determined. Even if it meant risking his life, he wanted to try. Lirong Uncle finally agreed. Lirong Uncle took out the Time Cup, using Tu Shan Jing's hair as the wick, his blood as the oil, and his life as the flame. Without hesitation, Tu Shan Jing was willing to give up his life to uncover the truth for Xiaoyao, because his heart was so small that it could only hold Xiaoyao.
After the operation, Tu Shan Jing was left with only half a life and needed to recuperate. But the only thing he could remember was that Fangfeng had transformed into Xiaoyao's appearance to seduce him, and he could not recall what happened afterwards. Xiaoyao had accepted Fenghong's marriage proposal and decided to marry him as soon as possible, which deeply saddened Qiangxuan.
After Fenghong left, Qiangxuan kept urging Xiaoyao to think it over carefully. He wanted to express his feelings for Xiaoyao, but was stopped by his grandfather, who told Qiangxuan to let go, so that his emotions would not end up hurting more people.
