The Mystery Guest
An Ying checks into the "Come to My Home" homestay. She asks a lot of questions. Gun Changpu gets annoyed. She calls Ma Qinghao to handle the guest.
Changpu notices something odd. An Ying isn't just asking about room service. She wants to know about room counts and cultural integration. Changpu gets suspicious. She switches gears immediately. She puts on a fake smile. She starts lecturing An Ying about the hard work of renovating the old house and preserving local heritage.
An Ying leaves. Changpu laughs at Qinghao’s stiff acting. Qinghao has a theory. He thinks An Ying is an undercover reporter. Changpu panics. She regrets her rambling. She worries she embarrassed the whole village.
The Grind and The Reveal
Yueliang finds Qinghao later. He is asleep on a table. He has dark circles under his eyes. Yueliang feels bad for him. He is running the homestay and the Via Ferrata project alone. It is exhausting work.
Nearby, the embroidery ladies chat. They realize how much effort the industry needs. They think back to the poverty of Cliff Village. The speed of change is shocking.
An Ying visits the Village Committee. She meets Xiao Baihe. She praises the embroidery and the climbing project. She speaks highly of Qinghao. Baihe takes her to the construction site. Qinghao finally learns the truth. An Ying is not a reporter. She is the new Director of Culture and Tourism.
Qinghao drops the act. He gives a serious project update. An Ying makes an offer. She invites Qinghao and Yueliang to a promotion event in Shanghai. Qinghao will speak. Yueliang will demonstrate embroidery.

Baihe texts Qinghao and Yueliang for a meeting. Qinghao gets clingy. He begs Yueliang for a piggyback ride. She laughs and indulges him. The neighbors watch and chuckle.
The team finalizes the Shanghai plan. Yueliang borrows a vintage wedding dress from Grandma Wu. Grandma strokes the fabric. She is happy her art is finally leaving the mountains.
But there is a snag. Gun Dayue forbids his daughter from going. He doesn't trust Qinghao. Ma Yongbing is the opposite. He is thrilled. Tian Yanzi is proud but worries about Dayue’s temper.
Baihe almost convinces Dayue to agree. Then Yongbing shows up. He gloats. Dayue gets angry again. He shuts down the conversation. He refuses to let Yueliang go.
The Peacemaker
Luo Xiaolin and Ye Mei need a solution. They brainstorm. They decide to call in the heavy artillery. They ask Grandma Wu Enyun to help.
Grandma Wu visits Dayue. She speaks gently. She tells him it is time to end the family feud. Meanwhile, Qinghao scolds his father. He tells Yongbing he made things worse. Yongbing actually feels bad. He realizes he should have backed off.
