At the imperial hall, court officials argue over a wedding date for a woman of the Shaw family and Prince Alex. Mid-discussion heavy rain breaks out, and onlookers pronounce the bride a jinx and urge them to leave. She recalls her past life—marrying Jason in a storm, then suffering misfortune—and offers the third day of the sixth month instead. Attendants say it's already the fourth month, too rushed to reschedule. Despite the omen and warnings, she insists on marrying Prince Alex as soon as possible, forcing the court to decide whether to risk the wedding now or delay.
