In this chapter, we learn that feng yichen has been engaged to Yun yehan for some time, and that the emperor has issued an imperial edict that the couple will be married the next day. The father is furious at the news, but he is willing to sacrifice his marriage for the sake of the throne. He tells his wife that he will help her clean up the house if she will give him a kiss. She refuses, however, because she is afraid that if she does not give in, she will fall in love with him again.
