However, the bartender really wanted to regain her status as a woman. Hence, she decided to work at the bar behind her family's back. She wanted to save enough money if she was to leave the house completely.
After finding out her identity as a woman, Mu Huan and the bartender helped each other at the bar. Sometimes, when they met guests who were troublesome and easy to offend, she would say that the bartender was her boyfriend. Hence, her grandma and stepmother thought that the bartender was her boyfriend, so they approached her to drug Mu Huan and fake evidence so they could control her.
The bartender was so short of money and wanted to have her own life so much that when she heard that Mu Huan's grandma did not really want anything to happen between them, she agreed.
