Ming Yi follows Shao Tong’s plans and pretends to be the third party with Ji Shi in order to aggravate Ting Ting, in hopes that she would reconcile with him. The plan, unfortunately, does not work. Shao Tong notices that Ming Yi cares deeply for Ji Shi, and suggests that she carry through with the plan and be with Ji Shi for real. This stuns Ming Yi. Bi Zheng finds out about this, and purposely asks Ming Yi to cook a herbal dish he developed, so that Ming Yi would have no time to spend with Ji Shi.
