Concubine Zhao hears marketplace gossip about Ye Zhao, and the rumours paint Ye Zhao as a ruthless living Yama (King of Hell) with no regard of human life. Although Concubine Zhao's son, Zhao Yujin was a man, he was very handsome and spent his days drinking and partying without doing anything useful. The Dowager Empress decreed Ye Zhao to marry Zhao Yujin, and Concubine Zhao was so horrified that she fainted on the spot. Yujin was put on house arrest by the Emperor, and he writes a letter to his friends to ask for help escaping the marriage. Ye Zhao who had just returned with the army, was secretly overjoyed after finding out about her betrothal. Ye Zhao's sister-in-law was worried that Ye Zhao would not know proper conduct, and tried to tutor her into being a good wife and loving mother.
