In the evening of Lantern Assembly, SHUI, LEUNG and other people join the fanatic competition to snatch buns on a bun-hill (buns piled up like hill for people to seize in festival). SHUI first discovers one half of the matching jade inside the stuffing of a bun. As LEUNG finds the other half in another, she feels she has some kind of affinity to SHUI.

When day breaks, SHUI piggybacks NGUN home. NGUN confesses to LEUNG that she loves SHUI. When NGUN knows that KUEN has made promises that she will marry the one who saves her, she hurriedly goes and verifies from KUEN.

LEUNG convinces SHUI to see NGUN and it is a pity that she has left. SHUI drinks his sorrow away with wine and meets an old man. He invites the old man to drink and tells him the love trouble. The old man asks SHUI to piggyback him home, saying that he has a foot problem. NGUN and LEUNG come to the Moon Temple, where the temple attendant says to NGUN that, if she wants a good marriage, she needs to copy texts earnestly. NGUN falls asleep at her work and LEUNG finishes the task for her. Actually, the temple attendant and the old man who drank with SHUI the other day is Master TIN CHUK. CHUK visits the Prime Minister’s Palace and tries to make a match between SHUI and NGUN, and he also convinces KUEN to promise their marriage once SHUI wins the top scholar in the imperial examination.

The angry SHUI takes the emperor, who is unable to explain, for a philanderer. The personal eunuch, FAI, appears in time and saves the emperor. The king is injured by SHUI’s fist and his anger is still there. Picturing the image of NGUN in his mind, the king decides to hide his true identity and to win her heart with his own ability.
