Pushed past endurance after another malicious setup, Wei fakes a fatal accident and vanishes into the night to reclaim her freedom. As police reports confirm her supposed drowning, the horrified family stumbles upon evidence exposing Anran's deceitful machinations. Left holding the hollow remnants of their favor, the parents spiral into desperate remorse while Wei begins an untouchable life far beyond their grasp.
