Due to its geographical location, there were many merchants from the south and the north in the county. Wang Ru saved an illegitimate son who was almost killed by his stepmother. After learning his name, she found it familiar. This illegitimate son was a fierce one; not only did he kill his father's legitimate son, but he also got involved in the fight for inheritance, ultimately losing and dying as one of the villains in the story.
Only then did Wang Ru realize she had traveled into a book, knowing that Xue Han was the female protagonist who would start to target and trap Xue Han and the Zhou family after the new year.
Zhulan had a toothache and was filled with regret, feeling as if she couldn't breathe properly. She was first angry at the novel for not explaining who became the Emperor at the beginning, and then angry at herself for not insisting on finishing it before. Even if she fell into a trap, she could have followed the plot to figure out who claimed the throne!
