Overview

At Sheng Gong’s party, A Qing dances among strangers and longing, while his past crashes back when he finds his mother ill and broken in a basement. Her grief over Di Wa’s death turns into blame, pushing A Qing further into isolation. Meanwhile, Xiao Yu is showered with gifts by Old Zhou—new clothes, and a gold chain once worn by his late wife—pulling him deeper into a world where affection often comes with a price.
