On this day's broadcast, Soon-deok Jeong (played by Yi-hyeon Jo) sensed that Sim Jeong-woo (played by Rowoon) was lying when he said that he no longer loved her, and asked the reason, but did not receive a clear answer. He comforted Jo Ye-jin (played by Oh Ye-joo), who was disappointed by the fact that she had to get married despite the death of her father, Jo Yeong-bae (played by Lee Hae-young).

Jo Ye-jin, who heard the news of the joint wedding, was shocked as she mistakenly thought that she had to marry Lee Si-yeol (played by Son Sang-yeon) in front of Yoon Boo-gyeom (played by Choi Kyung-hoon). However, Jeong Soon-deok said that Yun Bu-gyeom had already given up on the wedding and offered to help her if she revealed her feelings for Yun Bu-gyeom, but Jo Ye-jin refused out of fear of her reputation.

Soon-deok Jeong headed to Mrs. Cho's house (played by Hee-jin Choi) and confessed that she was the second daughter-in-law of Mr. Jwa Sang-daek, who was preparing for the wedding, and that she had been living a double life as the matchmaker Yeo Joo-dae. At this time, Maeng Du-ri (played by Park Ji-won) declared that she would not look at potential husbands in advance, and when her mother, Mrs. Cho, blamed herself for being blind because of her and confessed the reason for her cold reaction to the wedding, Jeong Soon-deok expressed regret.

Meanwhile, when the crown prince (played by Hong Dong-yeong) said that he had read in a book that if a double love magician marries his significant other, the other person's life will be short-lived, Sim Jeong-woo met Mrs. Jo, and when Mrs. Jo said that her fiancé also died a week before the wedding, Princess Hyo-jeong (played by Park Chae-young) ) became sullen, doubting whether his death was caused by him. Jeong Soon-deok, who met the frozen Shim Jeong-woo, lightened the mood by saying, "You said you don't like me anymore, but I still like you, so you should tell me."

He emphasized that the death of the princess was not the fault of Shim Jeong-woo, but of those who used poison to plot a traitor, and encouraged her to never blame herself. Moreover, Soon-deok Jeong said that he seemed to have found the answer to his problem and said, "I like you more and more," and smiled brightly, making Sim Jeong-woo's heart flutter.

That night, Jeong Soon-deok told Mrs. Park that her attempt to kill the crown prince in the name of saving the family was a foolish act that led to the deaths of her husband Jwasang (played by Lee Hae-young) and her younger brother Park Bok-ki (played by Lee Sun-won), and declared that he was trying to find his own way. This increased tension.

On the other hand, Lady Park met with Jungjeon (played by Jin Hee-kyung) and proposed that Jinseong-gun be the head of the envoys and receive the crown prince's investiture letter with Sim Jeong-woo, and Jungjeon told the king (played by Jo Han-cheol) to file an appeal for annulment of the marriage so that Sim Jeong-woo can assist the crown prince. asked for permission to do so. Afterwards, Sim Jeong-woo accepted the king's proposal that he would allow the appeal of marriage invalidity after this wedding.

Before the official wedding, Jeong Soon-deok deliberately had the soft-spoken Mr. Lee (played by Jeong Yeon) spread the news that Jo Ye-jin was marrying Lee Si-yeol, the daughter of the Byeongpan family, and to announce that Jwasang's family was alive and well. Furthermore, Soon-deok Jeong asks the double lover Shim Jeong-woo to tell him that the real Yeo Joo-daek (played by Park Hwan-hee) and Ahn Dong-gun (played by Kim Dong-ho) are a match made in heaven. After creating an opportunity for the two to overcome the pain of the past and connect again, he sees them leaving happily. I watched.

Afterwards, Jeong Soon-deok asked Shim Jeong-woo if he should stop pretending that he doesn't like her, and Shim Jeong-woo responded, "Then what should I do? There's no way, but I'm still worried about my wife and I'm dying to see her. Would I want to do this?" It evoked sadness. After confirming Sim Jeong-woo's sincerity, Jeong Soon-deok smiled brightly and said, "Do you know what I hate the most in novels? It's that we break up because we love each other." At the same time, he said, "I am much braver than you think. So please trust me and wait for me," and gave Shim Jeong-woo a hug, making his anticipation boil over.

Meanwhile, as the three couples' wedding ceremony finally began, the bride and groom bowed, and at that moment, the faces of Sim Jeong-woo and Jeong Soon-deok were slightly revealed, causing shock. The two people, surprised to see each other, froze in bewilderment, asking “Madam, why are you standing there?” and “Why are you standing there, sir?”, and the shocking ending of the bride and groom swapping was drawn.
