During a strange time-travel event, Emperor George of the Daming Kingdom unexpectedly found himself in the modern world. Everywhere he looked, there were sights and wonders he'd never seen before. In this unfamiliar world, he accidentally witnessed a modern woman bathing, which both shocked and intrigued him. While George was still trying to make sense of this new world, the son of the Wang family appeared and demanded that the woman marry him. Faced with this unreasonable demand, George decided to step in. He took out a priceless jade pendant, a symbol of the royal family in Daming, but in the modern world, his action raised doubts from those around him. To prove the authenticity of the pendant, George sought out a master appraiser. After careful inspection, the appraiser confirmed that it was indeed real, surprising everyone present, including the Wang family’s son. Then, the woman presented a painting she claimed was by Tang Bohu, hoping the appraiser could verify its authenticity. After a detailed examination, the appraiser confirmed it was genuine. However, George disagreed, arguing it was a fake. As the debate heated up, George decided to prove his point. Using his deep knowledge of ancient artworks and his unique understanding of Tang Bohu’s style, he pointed out numerous flaws in the painting. His strong reasoning ultimately proved it was a forgery. The appraiser was impressed by George’s expertise and logic. He publicly admitted his mistake and, out of respect and curiosity, invited George to his home to discuss more artworks and have him appraise additional items.

In despair, Lin Hui drove herself, Shen Lixiao, Xu Shanshan, and her mother-in-law Zhang Guizhi to their deaths. Reborn, Lin Hui is calm and decisive, determined to take revenge. She immediately transfers her father to a private hospital, cutting off all contact from her enemies. She also terminates her pregnancy and begins gathering evidence of Shen Lixiao’s affair by installing surveillance and hacking his phone. With the help of her lawyer best friend Shen Qing, Lin Hui devises a divorce strategy, demanding Shen Lixiao leave the marriage with nothing due to his grave misconduct. She teams up with Shen Lixiao’s industry rival, director Zhao Qiming, to obtain evidence of Xu Shanshan’s chaotic romantic history and her pregnancy report, discovering that Shen Lixiao was abroad when Xu Shanshan conceived—proving the child is not his. Meanwhile, the truth about Shen Lixiao’s severe oligospermia is exposed, revealing his near-zero chance of natural conception. Throughout the divorce proceedings, Lin Hui navigates with composure and ultimately secures 70% of the cash assets, a villa, and 10% of the company’s shares. After the divorce, she collaborates with Zhao Qiming to expose Shen Lixiao’s scandals—such as “affair during pregnancy” and “Xu Shanshan’s romantic history”—during his award ceremony, utterly destroying his career. Upon learning the child is not his, Shen Lixiao assaults Xu Shanshan, causing a miscarriage that leaves her infertile and eventually drives her insane, leading to her hospitalization.
