In this chapter, the servant tells the king that he has prepared a special soup for the king. He tells him that the soup is very hot, and the king should be careful with it. He also tells the servant that the heroine of the novel, the princess yongning, is not a whiny crybaby, nor a womanizer, but rather a virtuous one. The king is surprised that the servant has prepared such a hot soup for him, and he asks the servant if he can borrow some clothes. The servant replies that he can, and that he will make another soup for his majesty. He explains that the princess is not like the male lead in the novel. The male lead has been sentenced to death, and turned into a "womanizer" . He says that he must hurry to get the two of them together. The next day, the king complains that he needs a guard.
