Gun Yueliang takes a break from the festivities to play wingman. She helps Xiaodie fix her clothes. She notices Xiaodie hasn't been talking to Liu Yangxuanyu much lately. Yueliang tells her to step it up and create some opportunities for romance.
The Livestream Hustle
Wu Aicao is all about the content game. He rushes over to Yueliang. He wants to start a livestream right now and edit the highlights later. Yueliang agrees. She gathers the embroidery ladies. They show off their intricate traditional dress to the camera. They invite viewers to come experience the village culture firsthand.
Meanwhile, Xu Baiyun needs a favor. She has a friend from Singapore interested in local history and the Xiang Shrine. She asks Ma Qinghao to play tour guide. He agrees.
Later, Aicao is stuck in the editing room. Long Fengbi hovers over him. She tells him to hurry up and post the video to get those views.
Dad vs. The Boyfriend
Qinghao brings food to Yueliang. He mentions the gig with Xu Baiyun and teases Yueliang. He asks if she is jealous. She isn't. She trusts him completely.
The cute moment dies fast. Gun Dayue shows up. Qinghao tries to duck out of sight. Yueliang isn't having it. She grabs Qinghao’s hand and walks him right out the front door. Her dad explodes. He screams at Qinghao to leave. He demands Yueliang move back home. She refuses. She is staying in the old house.
Business Moves

Aicao takes the livestream to the water. He films the scenery along the Wujiang River. Over at the shrine, Qinghao impresses the visitors. A boss on the tour offers him a job on an upcoming project. Qinghao turns it down. He is sticking with his homestay business.
The Lock and the Hammer
Dayue plays dirty. He locks Yueliang out of the old house. Her brother, Gun Changpu, doubts this will work. He is right. Yueliang calls Qinghao. He brings a hammer. They smash the lock open.
Dayue waits for her at dinner. She doesn't show. He storms over to the old house and sees the broken lock. He grabs a stick. Yueliang tells Qinghao to run. She faces her father alone.
Dayue throws insults. He calls Qinghao a dog. But Yueliang stands firm. Dayue realizes he can't win this one fully. He offers a deal. She can stay, but Qinghao is banned from the yard. Changpu signals her to just take the deal. She does.
Qinghao tells his dad, Ma Yongbing, about the smashed lock. Yongbing loves it. And despite the ban, Qinghao keeps visiting anyway.
Upgrades and Gossip
