The timeline reset to Zhang Wei's arrival. Bai Lian feigned kindness, while secretly monitoring him.
"Zhang Wei, thank you for your hard work," she said with a smile, hiding her suspicion.
Meanwhile, the sisters discovered their ability to hear Zhang Wei's thoughts.

"He's not who he seems," Bai Mei replied, her trust crumbling.
As Zhang Wei's manipulations faltered, he grew desperate. The system suggested a final gambit: orchestrate a dangerous scenario to save Bai Lian and win her love.

"You saved me," Bai Chen said, his voice cracking.
"Of course I did," Bai Lian replied, tears streaming down her face. "You're my brother, and I'll never abandon you again."
