Yin Ya badmouths Ji Yang to Nan Ya. He offers to sleep in her bedroom to protect her but ends up bunking with Ji Yang. In the morning, Nan Yan finds Ji Yang coughing badly as the candlelight beetles attack his body. She sacrifices her beloved pet scorpion, Xiang Xiang, to help remove the beetles. She is heartbroken but does not utter a word. Ji Yang feels her sadness through the seal and clumsily carves out a wooden sculpture of Xiang Xiang to comfort Nan Yan. He goes to find Nan Yan but soon realizes Nan Yan and Yin Ya have disappeared. (Source: Chinese = Baidu || Translation = AnastasiaWun at MyDramaList)
