Qi Si woke up in Bo Yanqi’s arms, embarrassed by their closeness, while Bo Yanqi sought answers about whether Qi Si’s personalities could control one another. Bo Yanqi recalled that Dun Dun had briefly awakened overnight and explained that Jiang Zhijie’s experiments had created many personalities inside Qi Si.

• Qi Si woke up curled in Bo Yanqi’s arms, pulled at his injured rib, and hurriedly avoided Bo Yanqi’s attempts to help him.

• Qi Si told Bo Yanqi that he cared about him as much as he cared about his brother and promised to explain the actor secret after winning the battle.

After returning to the hospital to rest, Bo Yanqi woke to find Qi Si behaving like a hostile stranger who thought he was in a palace.

• Jiang Nantian said he would hand Jiang Honghu and Jiang Zhijie over to the law, and Bo Yanqi offered Li An's records of Jiang Zhijie's human experiments as evidence.

• Bo Yanqi realized Qi Si's new personality, like the others, seemed obsessed with pretty faces.

Bo Yanqi played along with Qi Si’s belief that he was an emperor, claiming he admired him to avoid suspicion and becoming his personal guard. Qi Si then assigned Yu Zhen and Qi Wang elaborate identities from his imagined imperial court, leaving them stunned by how completely he had woven the fantasy into his memories.

• Qi Si accused Bo Yanqi of serving the regent and grabbed him by the throat, but Bo Yanqi calmly removed his hand and denied the accusation.
• Qi Si quickly believed Bo Yanqi was not the regent’s man and demanded to know why he was in the bedchamber.
• Bo Yanqi claimed he admired Qi Si and wanted to serve him, so Qi Si appointed him as his personal guard.
• Qi Si treated Yu Zhen as his sister-in-law and asked Qi Wang whether her forgetfulness had been cured.
• Qi Si explained that he remembered Yu Zhen’s recurring illness and the Imperial Medical Bureau’s treatment, leaving Yu Zhen, Qi Wang, and Bo Yanqi astonished by his detailed imagined plot.

Qi Si’s injuries healed, but his dissociative identities continued to appear, so Qi Wang took him back to A City while Bo Yanqi stayed behind to handle matters in G City. After the Jiang family’s crimes were turned over to the authorities, Jiang Nantian decided to restore his mother’s family name, Zhong.

• Bo Yanqi visited Jiang Nantian, who said the case against Jiang Zhijie’s family was nearly settled and that he planned to change the Jiang family name back to Zhong.

Bai Yanqi stayed with Jiang Nantian in G City after learning that people connected to Jiang Honghu, including Bo Fuyu, had conspired against Qi Corporation. As G City prepared for a major purge, Bai Yanqi reassured his uncle that his mother’s death was not his fault and later urged Jiang Nantian to consider finding a partner.
