Bai Ruo Li (Ch 1-98)
After coming to teach Huang Yue Li a lesson for what happened to Bai Ruo Yan, Huang Yue Li hits her acupuncture points so she can't move and claims she is "possessed" thus Cai Wei must slap her. This causes her head to swell so that Bai Ruo Qi is described as having a "pigs head."

Thus Ruo Qi accuses Huang Yue Li of betting more than she actually has. Thus they make a bargain; if Huang Yue Li does not have the funds Huang Yue Li will pay for it and Bai Ruo Qi will get the pills for free; if Huang Yue Li does have the funds, then the reverse happens. Huang Yue Li does have the money thus making her lose face.

Peach Blossom Banquet (Ch 184-317)
Ruo Qi's Mother comes up with a plan to make it look like Bai Ruo Li has a miscarriage at the viewing by spiking her wine and bribing the court doctor. At the Peach Blossom Viewing, Ruo Qi proposes an apology toast with wine. Huang Yue Li see her spike the drink and thus makes it so Ruo Qi drinks the wine instead. Thus Huang Yue Li start to heavily bleed in a way that looks like she had a miscarriage. Seeing how anxious Ruo Qi is for the doctor to see her, Huang Yue Li convinces the Ladies in Waiting to hide her identity causing the doctor to misdiagnose her as pregnant. This completely screws up Ruo Qi's plan so she throws the doctor under the bus in front of the Empress Dowager. The doctor retaliates by revealing that every time Bai Ruo Li was invited to the palace, the Bai family would get medicine from him to make her sick and that he supplied medicine so that the aforementioned attempted rape could happen. This causes the Empress Dowager to deeply dislike Ruo Qi.

Barely escaping punishment due to Concubine Si, they all realize that the Peach Blossom Banquet is about to begin and thus go there (after changing for Bai Ruo Qi). The Imperial Empress requests a talent show. Huang Yue Li plays the Gu Qin so well it completely overshadows Ruo Qi's performance that follows. Ruo Qi is victorious over Liu Yi Yi and shows her Ninth Level Qi Profound Realm status. She is praised as being a genius and the Imperial Tutor offers to be her teacher. The Emperor is about to declare the engagement between Bai Ruo Qi and Li Mo Jun, when Huang Yue Li interrupts.

To prove that Ruo Qi is not the strongest female, Huang Yue Li challenges her and defeats her with her own Profound Skill. Ruo Qi cannot handle her defeat and calls the for-hire-attempted rapist to come slander Bai Ruo Li when the Emperor is about to name Bai Ruo Li as the Crown Prince's fiancee. For her crimes against Bai Ruo Li she is sent to jail.

Revenge Plot of Traitors (Ch 521-610)

Road to Sky Cloud City (Ch 611-649)
She travels with Li Xue'er and the now ex-Imperial Tutor to go to the Examination for new students for the Celestial Light Academy. On the way, they bump into Huang Yue Li who is able to oppress them - even the ex-Imperial Tutor - with Armaments. They follow her closely on the road; thus, when Huang Yue Li is attacked by a 5th Realm expert, she uses the carriage with her enemies to harm him.

In order to bring Huang Yue Li out from hiding, the assassin cuts off two of Bai Ruo Qi's fingers as he doesn't believe they are enemies. When this doesn't work, he takes most of her blood and puts it in an amulet. The amulet allows the assassin to fing Huang Yue Li and Bai Ruo Qi passes out.

Examination (Ch 726-780)
Bai Ruo Qi and Li Xue'er arrive ahead of Huang Yue Li - believing her to be dead. Bai Ruo Qi uses her relationship with Bai Liu Feng and to obtain insider information on the test from Tang Jinhua. She is able to strategize and practice before taking the test.

After Huang Yue Li arrives, Bai Ruo Qi tries to turn Song Yaru against her. This somewhat works, As has practiced, she is seen as a genius for sussing out how to control her strength in such a short time and they mention that they will give her a prospective core student qualification.

The second challenge is to walk across a tight rope as fast as possible while being attacked by arrows. Lu Zicheng goes first and Bai Ruo Qi goes next and reveals her inside knowledge by moving on the wire incredibly slowly; the Array that controls the arrows strength makes the strength proportional to the speed of the crosser. As they cannot believe she is a 4th Tier Array Master, the Vice President and the rest of the viewers believe that she is cheating, but wait to see her continued performance.

The third challenge is to resist pressure from an higher tier opponent. The contestants are placed in an Array that mimics the pressure. Bai Ruo Qi waste no time and sits in the exact place where the Array is weakest (30%) of it's strength. This shows the Vice President that they indeed had a spy and she is definitely cheating as she could not be a 6th Tier Array Master. She watches as Huang Yue Li walks into the center of the Array where the pressure is 10x that normally and is kicked out of the Array.

When the names are read for who has been approved to join, Bai Ruo Qi's name isn't listed. She believes this is because they mentioned she was pre-selected in Round 1, but is quickly told she wasn't chosen. She can't understand why and makes a scene where her cheating is revealed. She denies it and tries to use her uncle's name as a way to force her way in, but Huang Yue Li reveals that she is his daughter and her father would be utterly upset with her conduct. President Jiang appears and she begs him for mercy and admits her wrong doing and ends up being whipped as punishment as well as her name spread to all the other Academies as a cheater.
