A Familiar Stranger

Shi Qi, a painter for courtesans, is engaged by Shen Qin, daughter of the prime minister. She wants Shi Qi to draw a portrait for her in exchange for her sister's whereabouts.

Shi Qi wakes up to find out she became Shen Qin. And she would have to marry Han Xiaosheng. She immediately tries to escape.

Shen Qin threatens Shi Qi to do her bidding unless she wants her sister to die. Shi Qi agrees to a deal made by Shen Qin, which is to assume her identity and get married to Xiao Hansheng until Shen Qin gives birth to her child.

Shi Qi returns to Xiao Hansheng. Hansheng is suddenly reminded of his encounter with Shi Qi long ago. He feels something familiar with this woman standing in front of him.

Shen Qin forces Shi Qi to find out what Han Xiaosheng had gotten from the crown prince's body. Meanwhile, Han Xiaosheng's daughter seems to rely on Shi Qi a lot.

Han Xiaosheng discovers the wound on Shi Qi's shoulder. Xiaosheng is sure that the Shen Qin that he is seeing right now is in fact Shi Qi.
