Amid Zhongxiu and Zhongyu’s feud, their father receives alarming information about a company ship.

Despite public criticism, the Yi family hold a beauty contest sponsored by the disaster relief committee at Xinghua Mall.

January 1922. After the Japanese invade Shanghai, the Yi family scrambles to find new roles to aid in the war.

An unmarried Zhongyu returns from France, only to reveal how a secretary came between her and Tang Fengwu – who later protects the Yi family from a bomb.

After meeting with Shen Bin, Zhongyu learns that Zhongjie and Ayuan are no longer together. Meanwhile, Wang Jianchi urges Huang Yingru to leave Shanghai.

The sisters reaffirm their loyalty to the family and business before being introduced to Takashi, a Japanese businessman interested in Xinghua Mall.
