She thinks all she has to do is send Cen Ji away, but the stove man refuses to leave even after finishing his work. He blocks her between the steaming stove and says, "Shopkeeper, call me your husband again." Cen Ji has spent half his life as a proper gentleman, never knowing what it feels like to love someone. His father wanted him to marry a woman from a poor family and become a lofty scholar, so he did. His stepmother arranged a noble concubine for him to continue the family line, and he didn't refuse. He once thought he'd live out his life following this path. Until one day, he saw a girl by the roadside at a flatbread shop, her hair tied up in a blue headscarf and flour on the tip of her nose. He suddenly stopped walking. That night, Cen Ji entered a strange, fantastical dream. In it, he and Xie Chan were married. In the dream, he married her unwillingly, ignored her, and treated her coldly. But on the day he heard she had fallen off a cliff, his hair nearly turned white overnight. After waking, Cen Ji goes to Xie Chan's flatbread shop to ask her what happened, only to see her joyfully welcome a tall warrior and throw herself into his arms. He hears her call that man by the same endearment she once used for him, calling him her husband with tender affection. He suddenly understands the heart-rending pain he felt in his dream.
