Episode 7: I left no way out for myself. That's the meaning of life.

Will the competition for the pearl at the bottom of the sea (Duan Wu's specialty) happen? The villains changed the script and the pearl girl had to face a different fight. She almost succeeded, but was sabotaged. And the heartless pirate saved her at the last minute, preventing the worst from happening to her. And the protective clothing that the master had previously given her cushioned the impact of the blade. Mr. Zhang worries about Duan Wu; if it were up to him, she wouldn't be in this competition. Yan Zi Jing confronts his opponents, emphasizing that they were dishonest but decided not to revoke their victory. Mr. Zhang took Duan Wu to a hospital and tried to dissuade her from her plans, inviting her to go with him to the commercial city of Chang Yan. She refused, as it would go against her true plans. Yan Zi Jing plays his sad instrumental music and remembers how his relatives died. And he says to his friend, a perhaps premonitory line of this drama: “I left no way out for myself. That is the meaning of life.” She always wants a reward. And ends up getting it with her negotiating charm. He says no. He says yes. How contradictory. (And the friend says to Yan Zi Jing: “She is looking more and more like you.”). He listens and seems to like it. The two brothers dream of the big store and the fireworks in their innocent optimism. Duan Wu gets his place in the trade board, and the first one shares it with his friends, and with that old man (who once tried to scam her).
