• After dinner, Zi Ji warned Bi Ji that Dan Heng wanted her as a wife and urged her to stay away from him and his cooking.
• Dan Heng told Gu Yuena, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Zhu Zhuqing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red's legend, how it chose its owner, and its power.
• Bi Ji tried to pick the flower but failed because she had no one in mind as she offered her blood.

• Zhu Zhuqing declined to try, and Gu Yuena offered her blood, causing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to detach from the Wu Jue Stone and fall into her hand.
