Xia Ning discovered her feelings and urged Gu Qinghan to marry her. After six months of being completely ignored by Gu Qinghan, she drugged him with an aphrodisiac but he remained indifferent and would rather suffer the drug's effects than touch her. She completely broke down and ended her life by jumping into water. Before dying she confided in her senior sister that she never blamed Gu Qinghan and believed she was not good enough for him.
