• Ye Yang decided to keep close to Tang San, and the viewers became more eager to watch the live stream after learning that the future had changed.

Qian Xunji discovered that Dai Mubai was a reincarnator and watched him juggle dates with several women, then took Zhu Zhuqing to Suotuo City to show her what Dai was doing. Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Mubai with a pair of twin sisters, and her hopes for him were about to be tested.

• Zhu Zhuqing questioned why Dai Mubai had wasted three years instead of cultivating and concluded that he had betrayed her twice.

Zhu Zhuqing learned that her martial soul fusion with Dai Mubai would compel her to forgive his betrayals, and she tried to kill herself rather than accept that fate. Qian Xunji stopped her, revealed that the future had changed, and offered her a choice of replacement martial souls in exchange for becoming his maid.

• The black-robed man told Zhu Zhuqing that her martial soul fusion with Dai Mubai would make her forgive him despite his betrayals.
