-Ruan Zhizheng proceeds to roughly interrogate him on the whereabouts of the “Shadow Stealing” book technique. MC insists that he doesn’t know, so RZZ kills his parents in front of him, and later on a cloaked guy appears who RZZ calls his master.

-The Imperial Preceptor starts pushing his niece to be married to ML since he’s single now, but gets refused, so he attempts to erase MC’s soul with the help of the cloaked guy. ML sacrifices his life to give MC another chance at life. -MC wakes up having regressed, he doesn’t remember what happened after his death, only before it. Unlike before, he now isn’t afraid of the ML and grows close to him. He moves into the ML’s house and meets his previous master in medicine, along with this, he also gets his cure from the seal from his grandfather 7 years earlier than before for some unknown reason.
-He also gets a child from who knows where, one day he just wakes up and has an egg. This egg quickly hatches into a full fledged child who looks identical to his husband.
-He quickly builds up his cultivation and starts hinting to his father that they’re being plotted against by the Wu family. He uses his knowledge to save his family from a few sabotaged events.

-MC also saves the Crown Prince coincidentally, and he gives MC his jade brooch as a token to see him anytime.
-MC and his family get invited to the Imperial Preceptor’s birthday, and they cross Gaoling city to get there. By the way, the Imperial Preceptor is part of the Main Wu family in the capital.
-News gets out that Gaoling City, the city where the Wu family lives is getting attacked by hundreds of ghosts, and that many people died as a result, including the entire Wu branch family. MC’s family doesn’t visit Gaoling City despite this and just cross over it straight to the Imperial Preceptor’s mansion for the event.
-Once MC and ML get there, Wu Weixue, the woman who was originally meant to marry ML, starts showing interest in him due to his looks. She originally rejected ML due to rumors that he was ugly. She also starts getting jealous of MC for looking better than her.
-Later on however, she gets cursed with a love spell and becomes obsessed with the ML to the point of lowering her pride, though she gets healed, she still likes ML and hates MC.
-MC’s family goes to visit their grandma, but suddenly his father is accused of killing the Ren family head’s wife. He rushed over and his mom says that his father disappeared in the middle of their meal when he went to the bathroom and never came back. A servant who claims to be present at the murder scene says his father killed the head’s wife.
-MC’s father is currently asleep, and they attempt to wake him up to question him but MC objects and brings over the Ren family head’s mother, she testifies that she was also there when the wife was attacked and that MC’s father actually protected them, and was obviously getting framed
-MC and his family go back to their lodgings and MC wakes up his father to find that his father was infected with a gu parasite like he suspected, and was programmed to immediately testify that he killed the wife as soon as he was awoken. He cures his father.
-MC has also encountered the Crown Prince again in the party and the Prince helped him even in the previous situation above.
-MC also tells the CP that Wu Weixue has Huarong Water—an acidic poison that causes disfigurement; she's used this numerous times on other women she grew jealous of. With this info, CP frames her into having disfigured her niece, Wu Yanli. She ultimately loses against the pressure and without any proof of her innocence, ends up also being disfigured by the Huarong Water as a punishment.
