In this chapter, we learn that Bingjian's daughter, Lin Wei, is a talented poet, but that she has recently cancelled her engagement to a man named Mingran. We also learn that Mingran's brother, Hu Mingran, is also a poet, and that he has a poem called "Chmery Appreciation" that he would like to discuss at the upcoming poetry festival. We learn that the poem is similar to a poem that Lin Wei wrote, but Mingran has hidden a mystery in the poem, which is also similar to Lin Wei's own. Mingran is a good writer, but he's also a loser, and Lin Wei is not a loser.
