In a distant ancient dynasty, the city of Jun'an, a beautiful and prosperous city, was ruled by a remarkably intelligent female city lord named Gu Qingzi. Gu Qingzi possessed not only extraordinary beauty but also a sharp intellect and exceptional political wisdom. She employed a highly strategic approach, pretending to be weak to deceive her opponents, successfully balancing the various factions within the court and leading Jun'an City to prosperity under her governance.

However, at the moment when General Li Yinzhi led his 150,000 troops to triumphantly return to the city, Gu Qingzi's plans encountered unexpected twists. Li Yinzhi, a brave and skilled general, had always been a political rival whom Gu Qingzi feared. Gu Qingzi had intended to use her wisdom to once again restrain Li Yinzhi, but she never expected to be forced into a marriage proposal herself.

Grand Tutor Qi brought a bottle of medicine for the esteemed concubine Yun Feiran and instructed her to take good care of Lord Cheng, and to get rid of Gu Qingzi as soon as possible, so she could take the position of the Empress. Gu Qingzi came to deliver the wedding attire to Li Yinzhi, but secretly placed poisoned needles inside. She intended to harm Li Yinzhi, but he was already prepared, and the needles ended up pricking Gu Qingzi herself. Li Yinzhi offered to draw eyebrows for Gu Qingzi, and she was surprised by his skill. Li Yinzhi mentioned that the fallen soldiers looked completely different, and he was the one who arranged their appearances.

Gu Qingzi and Li Yinzhi paid their respects in front of the ancestral shrine. Li Yinzhi was brought in, and Yun Feiran handed him a drink. After consuming it, Li Yinzhi fainted. When Gu Qingzi returned and discovered that Li Yinzhi was missing, she immediately called for help, believing that everything would be under her control. A masked person ordered others to carry away the Empress.

The next day, Gu Qingzi tearfully claimed that Li Yinzhi had been kidnapped on their wedding night. Gu Yuanting presented evidence, stating that someone saw Yun Feiran poisoning him. They suggested investigating to find out if it was true.

Gu Qingzi confronted Yun Feiran upon her return, and Yun Feiran admitted that Grand Tutor Qi had indeed brought medicine for Li Yinzhi, but he didn't use it. Instead, he used the medicine provided by Gu Qingzi. Gu Yuanting came to meet Gu Qingzi and informed her that the Ministry of Justice received a ransom letter demanding ten thousand taels of gold. Gu Qingzi declared that they would not abandon any of the citizens of the city.

Yun Feiran went to various ministers' houses and collected ten thousand taels of gold. Gu Qingzi objected to sending it like that and decided to poison the silver taels.

Gu Qingzi brought the silver tickets to pay the ransom, and Li Yinzhi appeared wearing a mask. Gu Qingzi asked where Li Yinzhi was, and he replied that she would see him when she returned. Gu Qingzi set up a mechanism to bind Li Yinzhi, wanting to see what the kidnapper looked like.

Li Yinzhi claimed that there were assassins behind him, but Gu Qingzi thought he was lying. Unexpectedly, there was indeed an assassin behind him, intending to assassinate Gu Qingzi. Li Yinzhi offered to help save her if Gu Qingzi provided another ransom. Li Yinzhi managed to break free and deal with the assassin, but Gu Qingzi was knocked unconscious by her own trap.

Subordinates informed Li Yinzhi that there were spies from the Lord's Mansion, but they were very cautious. Li Yinzhi needed to stay here for a few more days. When Gu Qingzi woke up and realized she was bound, Li Yinzhi was bathing behind a screen. Gu Qingzi shouted that someone had kidnapped her, but Li Yinzhi told her to stop and reminded her that she still owed him a ransom. Angry, Gu Qingzi rushed towards him, and Li Yinzhi quickly covered her eyes with a cloth.

Gu Qingzi asked which faction Li Yinzhi belonged to and accidentally bumped into him, nearly kissing. Gu Qingzi recognized Li Yinzhi and didn't expect him to be shy.

Gu Qingzi returned to the Lord's Mansion and was surprised to find Yun Feiran bound. Xiang Wanqing said that Yun Feiran had drugged Li Yinzhi before, leading to the previous incident.

Fortunately, Li Yinzhi had been prepared in advance, and Yun Feiran was being manipulated by Grand Tutor Qi. Grand Tutor Qi wanted to retire and return home, so Gu Qingzi ordered him to be imprisoned.

Li Yinzhi was already waiting inside, and Gu Qingzi entered. Yun Feiran brought a cup of wine and gave it to them to drink. Gu Qingzi noticed a mark on Li Yinzhi's body, indicating that she had drugged the silver tickets. Any contact with the silver tickets would leave this mark.

Gu Qingzi wanted to call for help, but Li Yinzhi said that it wasn't just Grand Tutor Qi who was manipulating Yun Feiran; the other person was already obvious. Gu Qingzi couldn't expose herself and could only dismiss the person. Li Yinzhi stated that he needed to firmly secure the position of the Empress, so tonight everyone needed to see them together in bed, and he tied up Gu Qingzi.

The next day, Li Yinzhi said he wanted to invite Gu Qingzi to appreciate the flowers. Gu Qingzi thought that Li Yinzhi wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate her and became very worried, wearing full armor. Li Yinzhi remarked that without fastening the straps properly, she wouldn't survive on the battlefield for half a day. He helped her fasten the straps, saying that it would give her an extra half-day of life, and with him present, it would be a lifetime. Gu Qingzi didn't expect Li Yinzhi to say this and wondered if he liked her.

Li Yinzhi knew that the ransom Gu Qingzi had paid was borrowed from the ministers, and he incited them to demand repayment from Gu Qingzi. Gu Qingzi was furious, feeling that the money was borrowed for Li Yinzhi's sake, but he told her to handle it herself.

Li Yinzhi said that his dowry had arrived, and when Gu Qingzi opened it, she found that it was filled with weapons. Li Yinzhi explained that these were the belongings of fallen soldiers and reminded Gu Qingzi that the days on the throne were obtained through the lives of these soldiers.

Gu Qingzi realized that they couldn't be open about their plans now; they had to resort to covert methods. The silver tickets were not with Li Yinzhi, but they were likely in Xiang Wansheng's possession. They needed to find a way to provoke Xiang Wansheng into taking action, and once she was willing to act, things would be easier.

Gu Qingzi intentionally invited many people to indulge in feasting and revelry, and she also invited Li Yinzhi, claiming that she wanted him to serve her in bed. She blindfolded him and played with others, allowing them to continue. When Xiang Wansheng came to find Li Yinzhi, Yun Feiran asked her to wait, saying that Gu Qingzi was currently busy. Yun Feiran even recorded Li Yinzhi's failed attempts to win favor with other beauties, which infuriated Xiang Wansheng.

Xiang Wansheng sent a signal to Li Yinzhi, and Gu Qingzi noticed it, believing that Xiang Wansheng had taken the bait. Li Yinzhi also saw the signal but didn't know why Xiang Wansheng was approaching him so late. Gu Qingzi also arrived, and Xiang Wansheng revealed her intention to assassinate Gu Qingzi, stating that she couldn't bear to see Gu Qingzi humiliating Li Yinzhi. She offered to take the blame herself if she killed Gu Qingzi, allowing Li Yinzhi to become the Lord of the City. However, Li Yinzhi intercepted Xiang Wansheng.

Xiang Wansheng was unwilling to accept this, but Li Yinzhi explained that he was doing all this for the sake of Gu Qingzi.

Gu Qingzi heard everything outside and couldn't believe that Li Yinzhi actually liked her. Li Yinzhi hoped that Gu Qingzi could forgive Xiang Wansheng, and without hesitation, Gu Qingzi agreed and asked Yun Feiran to escort Xiang Wansheng out. Gu Qingzi said she would send Li Yinzhi back, but when they arrived, Li Yinzhi decisively closed the door and locked Li Yinzhi outside. Gu Qingzi didn't mind and believed that she could eventually make Li Yinzhi open up his heart.

Yun Feiran informed Gu Qingzi that she had followed Xiang Wansheng last night and discovered that she had come to this mansion, but now Xiang Wansheng had already left. The two of them sneaked in and found a box that they couldn't open. It had a password on it. Gu Qingzi could only take the box away for now and figure out the rest later.

Gu Qingzi wanted to secretly climb over the wall, but unexpectedly, Li Yinzhi suddenly arrived. Gu Qingzi slipped and fell, but Li Yinzhi saved her. One of Li Yinzhi's subordinates came to report that Gu Qingzi had secretly taken a box back, possibly containing a testament. Li Yinzhi ordered him to keep an eye on it.

Gu Qingzi asked Li Yinzhi what kind of password it could be, but she couldn't understand what he was saying at all. Gu Qingzi went to attend the court session, and Gu Yuanting asked her when she would repay the debt. Li Yinzhi came holding the tablets of fallen soldiers and demanded an explanation from Gu Yuanting, who managed the national treasury, for the insufficient military funds over the years. Gu Qingzi said she didn't feel well and left the court session, saying that they would discuss this matter later.

Gu Yuanting came to find Gu Qingzi, and Gu Qingzi said that Li Yinzhi had 150,000 troops under his command, and they couldn't stop him if he wanted to investigate the accounts. Gu Yuanting should quickly resolve this matter. Gu Yuanting went to find the master and asked if they could retrieve the silver they had invested in Zi Jin's residence. The master said that the ministers were highly dependent on it now, and they couldn't retrieve it at the moment.

Gu Yuanting felt that if the accounts couldn't be balanced, he would have a big problem. The master said he had a solution. The city lord didn't have much ability, so if they let her and Li Yinzhi go out together, when there were only the two of them, they could take action. Gu Yuanting thought it was a good plan and said he would take care of it immediately.

Gu Yuanting told Gu Qingzi about the plan to have her go out and play with Li Yinzhi. Gu Qingzi agreed but also asked Gu Yuanting to balance the accounts. Gu Qingzi knew that Gu Yuanting was trying to keep her occupied and wanted to see what he was up to. Gu Qingzi discussed the plan with Li Yinzhi, and he said he needed to make arrangements for the city's defense before they could go out.

Xiang Wansheng sent a signal, and Li Yinzhi went to find her. Xiang Wansheng said they had been watching the assassin and had been surrounding Gu Yuanting's residence. However, they fell into a trap, and several of their comrades were injured. Li Yinzhi wanted to divert the attention of the gate guards and escort them out, but then Gu Qingzi arrived and said she wanted to select people for the harem and took away the injured comrades.

Li Yinzhi asked Gu Qingzi why she was at the city gate, and Gu Qingzi said she came out to check the route for their honeymoon. Gu Qingzi asked Li Yinzhi why he confronted the Marquis's mansion, assuring him not to worry because she would protect him. Xiang Wansheng thanked Gu Qingzi, but Gu Qingzi made it clear that she was protecting Li Yinzhi and had no connection with her.

Gu Qingzi suggested that they start their honeymoon now since it was still early. Xiang Wansheng was worried about Li Yinzhi, but he asked her to take the injured comrades back to the military camp first, and he would come to meet them later.

Gu Qingzi stated that she had successfully convinced Li Yinzhi, and their encounter was just a coincidence. They would embark on a spontaneous honeymoon trip. Yun Feiran brought some medicine for Gu Qingzi, saying that just a little bit would do.

Gu Qingzi imagined herself drugging Li Yinzhi, and he found her behavior strange but cute. He leaned in and kissed Gu Qingzi. Li Yinzhi noticed the medicine in Gu Qingzi's hand, and she quickly explained that it was mosquito repellent. Li Yinzhi offered to apply it to Gu Qingzi, but she quickly dodged, accidentally spilling it on Yun Feiran, who had just entered.

Yun Feiran said the carriage got stuck in a pit and asked for their help to push it out. Gu Qingzi sat in the carriage, but suddenly the horse got startled and started running forward. Gu Qingzi screamed for help, and Li Yinzhi chased after her, managing to grab the frightened horse. Yun Feiran shouted that Li Yinzhi had kidnapped Gu Qingzi and turned around to see Xiang Wansheng behind them.

Xiang Wansheng brought Yun Feiran into a cave and asked if he had arranged people along the way with the intention of harming the general. Yun Feiran sneezed, and Xiang Wansheng couldn't avoid it, feeling something was not right. Yun Feiran remembered the medicine he accidentally got on Gu Qingzi and felt worried.

Xiang Wansheng said Yun Feiran had delicate skin and tender flesh, and she quite liked it. She pressed him against the wall and kissed him. Gu Qingzi saw Li Yinzhi bringing her to a bamboo house on the mountain and thought it was a secluded place. Li Yinzhi must have wanted to do shameless things with her. However, every time Gu Qingzi approached Li Yinzhi, he pushed her away without hesitation.

The next day, Xiang Wansheng told Yun Feiran to relax and assured him that no one else would know about what happened yesterday. Yun Feiran cried and felt that he had lost his first night. Xiang Wansheng found it strange because he was supposed to be Gu Qingzi's favored concubine.

Li Yinzhi got up early in the morning to practice swordsmanship, while Gu Qingzi watched him and wondered why he liked her despite his good qualities. Yun Feiran came over and said he accidentally took the wrong path last night and just found his way back now. Gu Qingzi assured him that it was fine and told him to hurry and prepare the meals.

Gu Qingzi asked Yun Feiran if Li Yinzhi really liked her, but Yun Feiran felt that he could never understand Li Yinzhi's thoughts.

Gu Qingzi fell off the cliff and shouted for help. Yun Feiran hurriedly came to inform Li Yinzhi that Gu Qingzi had fallen off the cliff. Li Yinzhi and Yun Feiran got into a fight, with Li Yinzhi saying that Yun Feiran had strong martial arts skills and was hiding something. Yun Feiran expressed that Li Yinzhi was always so vigilant and wondered what his motives were.

Gu Qingzi waited for a long time but no one came down, so she decided to climb up and take a look herself. To her surprise, she saw Li Yinzhi and Yun Feiran arguing. Gu Qingzi was furious, saying that she had been waiting below the cliff for a long time, and she couldn't believe they were acting like this. No wonder she felt her hairpin was getting greener.

Gu Qingzi said she had been away for a while and asked Li Yinzhi if he had been worried about her. She also asked Yun Feiran where he had taken Li Yinzhi, as they had agreed. She felt that men were unreliable and left angrily. Li Yinzhi and Yun Feiran went back, only to find that Gu Qingzi was missing.

Li Yinzhi revealed that he had noticed assassins targeting Gu Qingzi before, but couldn't find any leads after investigating. Yun Feiran felt the urgency of finding Gu Qingzi as soon as possible, or else they would all be in trouble. Li Yinzhi gave him a token and told him to find Xiang Wanqing, investigate nearby, while he himself went to find Gu Qingzi.

Gu Qingzi was captured by a mysterious person who threatened to kill her first and search for the will later. Gu Qingzi mentioned that the will was in the carriage, so the mysterious person ordered his subordinates to accompany her and warned that if they were delayed for half an hour, he would cut off one of her fingers.

Li Yinzhi arrived to rescue Gu Qingzi, and she was surprised to find there was another ambush. Li Yinzhi told her to hide inside the carriage. He dealt with the assailants, but he himself was also injured.

Gu Qingzi didn't know where Yun Feiran had gone. It had been a while, and she hadn't returned. When Yun Feiran finally came back, she apologized to Gu Qingzi, and that's when Li Yinzhi realized that Yun Feiran was Gu Qingzi's undercover guard. Li Yinzhi believed that the group of black-clad individuals was targeting the carriage and asked Gu Qingzi what was inside. Gu Qingzi said there wasn't much inside and asked Yun Feiran to take a look.

Gu Qingzi mentioned that Li Yinzhi had returned victorious and only mentioned his request to enter the harem. He was not afraid of making enemies and helped Gu Qingzi cleanse the court. He also risked his life to save her today. Gu Qingzi told Li Yinzhi that she understood his intentions. Initially, she wanted to kiss him, but seeing that he was injured, she decided against it. Li Yinzhi touched his chest, not understanding why his heart was beating so fast.

Xiang Wanqing was also by the carriage, and Yun Feiran secretly took some medicine. She intended to make Xiang Wanqing unconscious but ended up making herself unconscious instead. Gu Qingzi saw them, and Xiang Wanqing knelt down and apologized, saying that it had nothing to do with Yun Feiran and expressing a desire to end her life. Gu Qingzi stopped her and didn't blame them. Xiang Wanqing was still a bit puzzled. Yun Feiran said that nothing happened between them that day.

Yun Feiran came to find Gu Qingzi and felt that the box probably wasn't in Li Yinzhi's possession either. Houye mentioned that Gu Qingzi and Li Yinzhi had already taken refuge behind Li Yinzhi's big tent. Mr. Houye said that as long as Houye was willing, he would handle the matter and assured him to rest assured.

Mr. Xiansheng took the box and asked Lord Hou to find a locksmith. Gu Qingzi saw Li Yinzhi give her the command token and felt that Li Yinzhi must really like her. Gu Qingzi saw someone outside and saw them heading towards Li Yinzhi's room, so she quickly followed.

Gu Qingzi arrived at Li Yinzhi's room and saw him put away a letter, thinking it might be a love letter. Gu Qingzi also found a bracelet here, and Li Yinzhi said it might have been left behind by a previous shopkeeper. Gu Qingzi noticed that Li Yinzhi had gone out in the middle of the night and secretly followed along with Yun Feiran.

Gu Qingzi discovered that Li Yinzhi went to the place where Xiang Wanqing had previously hidden, but found that the person there was not Xiang Wanqing. In other words, there was still another person involved. Yun Feiran advised Gu Qingzi to bear with it, but Gu Qingzi said she couldn't bear it. Gu Qingzi and Yun Feiran noticed someone approaching, so they split up and ran. Yun Feiran was captured by the person.

Yun Feiran claimed not to know her and urged her to let her go. Unexpectedly, the person turned out to be Xiang Wanqing. It was because Yun Feiran had said she liked refined ladies that Xiang Wanqing dressed up this way. Xiang Wanqing grabbed Yun Feiran and kissed her directly.

Gu Qingzi hid and saw Li Yinzhi meeting with someone who seemed familiar. She didn't expect there to be another person, Xiao Wu. Li Yinzhi's subordinate informed him that everything was ready and the time was three days later.

Gu Qingzi told Li Yinzhi that if he doesn't disappoint her, she won't disappoint him either. If he keeps showing affection to others, he shouldn't blame her for cutting off their emotional connection. Li Yinzhi saw Xiang Wanqing returning to her original appearance and asked her what was going on. Xiang Wanqing said she didn't suit the lady's appearance and preferred to stay as she was.

Xiang Wanqing said that women only show off when they have someone they like. Li Yinzhi thought of what Gu Qingzi had done before and felt that she must have deceived him. Gu Qingzi came to find Li Yinzhi, but Li Yinzhi said he needed to use the restroom. Gu Qingzi directly blocked the door of the outhouse, but Li Yinzhi had already disappeared.

During the Qixi Festival, Gu Qingzi and Li Yinzhi went out together. Li Yinzhi noticed a signal and obtained some information from someone. Gu Qingzi held the marriage knot in her hand and said she had bought it, wanting to tie it to the highest point of a tree. An arrow was shot towards Li Yinzhi from behind, shocking Gu Qingzi, who quickly warned Li Yinzhi.

Gu Qingzi rushed over and blocked the arrow for Li Yinzhi, leaving him greatly surprised. Gu Qingzi held the marriage knot and said it represents their destiny. Fortunately, Gu Qingzi was wearing armor and was unharmed. Li Yinzhi took the marriage knot and hung it on the highest point of the tree.

Xiang Wanqing told Gu Qingzi that these people were commoners who claimed they were driven to desperation by Gu Qingzi's harsh rule, which led them to attempt to assassinate her. Gu Qingzi didn't expect things to turn out this way.

Li Yinzhi interrogated the two captured refugees. The refugees insisted that they attempted to assassinate Gu Qingzi because of her tyrannical rule. Li Yinzhi asked if they were from Linzhou, and the two refugees admitted it. Li Yinzhi mentioned that relief funds had already been sent to Linzhou, leaving the two individuals stunned.

Gu Qingzi asked Li Yinzhi where the money came from, and he said it was a ransom. Li Yinzhi asked who ordered them to do it, but the two refused to say. Li Yinzhi ordered one of them to be taken out and beheaded, which frightened the other into confessing that it was Gu Yuanting who ordered them.

Li Yinzhi informed Gu Qingzi that Gu Yuanting had been taken to the dungeon and that they only needed to return to the city to eliminate his influence. Gu Qingzi asked why Li Yinzhi had planned all of this without telling her anything, and he admitted that he was wrong not to have discussed it with her due to the urgency of the situation.

Someone came to inform Li Yinzhi that Houye had been captured and that they should retreat as well. Li Yinzhi asked her to deliver the box to Gu Qingzi. Li Yinzhi asked Gu Qingzi if he had upset her, and she asked if he had planned this day since she married into the Lord's Manor. Li Yinzhi admitted it, and Gu Qingzi asked him why he did it.

Yun Feiran brought the box over, and Li Yinzhi took Gu Qingzi to the house, where her father's tablet was enshrined. It turned out that when Li Yinzhi previously mentioned doing it for the Lord, he was referring to Gu Qingzi's father.

Gu Qingzi wanted to divorce Li Yinzhi and declared that this cup of wine symbolized the severing of their vows to heaven and earth, the breaking of their parents' command, and the rejection of the matchmaker's words. This cup represented the end of their emotional bond, and from now on, they would live their own lives. After saying this, Gu Qingzi left directly, and Yun Feiran shouted, "Lord Cheng, divorce!"

Li Yinzhi finally understood his own feelings. He actually liked Gu Qingzi. Gu Qingzi looked at the marriage knot and felt very sad. Yun Feiran felt relieved that she didn't end up with the female devil, Xiang Wanqing, or else they would have to break up too. Xiang Wanqing also felt fortunate that nothing happened, and Yun Feiran teased her, asking how she knew if anything happened and told her to guess.

Gu Qingzi attended the court session, and Yan Shangshu asked her when she would return the ransom money to them, as he had borrowed from the Lamb Agency and couldn't pay it back. It was the first time Gu Qingzi heard of this, so she asked Yun Feiran to look into it.

Yun Feiran and Gu Qingzi investigated the Zijin She organization together and found that it was large and internally complicated. They lured one of the girls from inside to join them, and Yun Feiran pretended to have a stomachache and went out to the restroom to secretly investigate.

Gu Qingzi asked everyone to leave, and a masked person came in, who turned out to be Li Yinzhi. Someone came to investigate, so Gu Qingzi pretended to be intimate with Li Yinzhi on the bed, and the person didn't come in and left with their people.

Yun Feiran returned and told Gu Qingzi that Yan Shangshu couldn't repay the money and had mortgaged the official seal. Yan Shangshu was planning to organize an examination, but Li Yinzhi managed to retrieve the official seal. Gu Qingzi asked Li Yinzhi to give her the official seal and left with Yun Feiran. However, Li Yinzhi secretly took the official seal back, vowing to protect Gu Qingzi thoroughly.

Subordinates informed Mr. Li Yinzhi that the official seal was taken by someone, and they didn't know who it was yet. They are investigating it. Mr. Li Yinzhi said it's alright and that they are just baiting the fish to make it take the hook.

The supervisor asked Gu Qingzi about her special skills, and Gu Qingzi said she is skilled in appreciating the moon, listening to music, and having a drink with a beauty under the moon. The supervisor said that even if Gu Qingzi is not good at it, they can train her well and gave her a token with the words "Huang Hua" written on it, indicating that it would be her nickname from now on.

The supervisor brought out Gu Qingzi and the others, stating that they are all girls from their Zijin She organization, and the guests are free to choose. Li Yinzhi, wearing a mask, saw Gu Qingzi among them. When someone wanted Gu Qingzi, Li Yinzhi stopped him and claimed that he also wanted her, taking Gu Qingzi away directly.

Mr. Li Yinzhi believed that he had requirements when selecting allies. He was the owner of the Ting Feng Tower and collected information. No one could survive in the martial world without information, so it was natural to choose him as an ally.

Li Yinzhi took Gu Qingzi to a room, and Gu Qingzi recognized him and asked what was going on. Li Yinzhi explained that he used to work at the Ting Feng Tower, and when the city lord needed information, he also took over the position of the tower's owner. Li Yinzhi noticed someone eavesdropping outside, and Gu Qingzi helped him stretch, allowing Li Yinzhi to call out and deceive the person outside.

One of my subordinates reported that they caught a person, and Mr. Li Yinzhi ordered them to bring the person up. It turned out to be Yun Feiran who was brought in. Yun Feiran noticed the bracelet in Mr. Li Yinzhi's hand and realized that he was the person who kidnapped her last time. Mr. Li Yinzhi wanted to execute Yun Feiran, but Li Yinzhi said that even though Qi Taifu had fallen from power, Yun Feiran was his only nephew, and keeping her alive would be more useful than killing her. Li Yinzhi offered to help with the interrogation as a gift for joining the alliance. Mr. Li Yinzhi agreed.

Li Yinzhi took Yun Feiran back, and Gu Qingzi asked how she got there and nearly lost her life. Yun Feiran said that she was Gu Qingzi's undercover guard and would live or die together with the city lord. Li Yinzhi said he would let Yun Feiran stay there for the night. The next day, Li Yinzhi planned to take Yun Feiran out but coincidentally met with Mr. Li Yinzhi. Mr. Li Yinzhi said that he wanted Gu Qingzi to come to him.

Mr. Li Yinzhi played chess with Gu Qingzi, explaining that chess is all about strategic thinking and considering the overall situation. If one doesn't plan the overall strategy in advance, they will make mistakes step by step, and the whole game will be lost.

Li Yinzhi asked Yun Feiran for advice on how to pursue a romantic relationship. Yun Feiran asked if Li Yinzhi had ever been in love, and Li Yinzhi said that he got along well with Gu Qingzi. Yun Feiran said that didn't count as being in love, and if that was the case, she got along even better with Gu Qingzi. Yun Feiran demonstrated how to confess properly to Li Yinzhi, tilting his chin and saying that he made her restless and unable to stop thinking about him.

Yun Feiran picked a bouquet of flowers and asked Li Yinzhi to give them to Gu Qingzi. When Gu Qingzi saw the flowers, she was deeply saddened, thinking they were meant to mourn Yun Feiran. Li Yinzhi was speechless and threw the flowers, saying that Yun Feiran wasn't dead. Gu Qingzi then realized that the flowers were actually meant for her.

Li Yinzhi said he had a plan. First, he would have Yun Feiran hand over Yan Shangshu's official seal. Then, he would claim that Gu Qingzi had already set her sights on Zijin She and use brutal interrogation to force Yun Feiran to confess to a nonexistent plot of besieging them. This would save Yun Feiran and also force Zijin She to act prematurely.

Li Yinzhi tied up Yun Feiran for interrogation. Mr. Li Yinzhi commented on Li Yinzhi's unique interrogation methods, to which Li Yinzhi replied that Yun Feiran was different from the typical martial artists and required a different approach. Meanwhile, someone was playing the zither and made a mistake. Mr. Li Yinzhi asked her to leave and called for Huang Hua to take her place.

Yun Feiran admitted that she had confessed and led Mr. Li Yinzhi's men to retrieve the official seal. However, once Mr. Li Yinzhi's men obtained the seal, they intended to kill Yun Feiran. After everyone else left, Li Yinzhi and Gu Qingzi remained behind. Li Yinzhi said he would play a piece for Gu Qingzi. The melody he played depicted a fierce battle between two armies, sounding somewhat tragic. Gu Qingzi then offered to play a piece for Li Yinzhi. He asked if she couldn't play before, but Gu Qingzi said she could, but only for him.

Xiang Wanqing rushed over and started fighting with the person, rescuing Yun Feiran. Xiang Wanqing thought Yun Feiran was actually quite handsome, especially when he didn't speak. She felt that although he seemed delicate and not very formidable, she was attracted to him. Yun Feiran was stunned, and Xiang Wanqing embraced him and kissed him.

Li Yinzhi confessed to Gu Qingzi, saying that he had always liked her. He hadn't realized it before, but now he understood that his willingness to sacrifice his life to protect her was not because of the city lord's testament, but because he loved Gu Qingzi. Li Yinzhi pulled Gu Qingzi close and kissed her.

Mr. Li was furious that the obtained official seal had gone missing. He ordered his subordinates to gather the others and act quickly, but without alerting the master of the Listening Wind Tower, as he had already considered Gu Qingzi as one of his own.

Gu Qingzi discussed the previous events with Li Yinzhi. She had named Yun Feiran as a noble consort to support the power struggle between Qi Taifu and Gu Yuanjing. The other consorts were actually her secret guards. Gu Qingzi promised those guards that if they one day ruled Chang'an, she would grant them everlasting glory and wealth.

Li Yinzhi declared that he would protect her and promise her a reign over Chang'an. No matter what happened, they would face it together. Even if they wandered the ends of the earth in the future, they would be together and never be apart.

Xiang Wanqing handed Li Yinzhi a token, and when Gu Qingzi saw it, she took the token and discovered that it stated to use the power of the martial world to assassinate Gu Qingzi. This item was a martial world token, issued after reaching a consensus among most sects in the martial world. All sects in the martial world were required to abide by it, which meant that the entire martial world was now going to come and kill Gu Qingzi.

Li Yinzhi comforted Gu Qingzi and told her not to worry. Gu Qingzi felt that she would be pursued by the entire martial world, so how could she not be anxious? Li Yinzhi assured her that he would help her handle it. Gu Qingzi went to find Mr. Li, who allowed her to enter. Gu Qingzi presented a jade pendant and said that she had already learned about his background. When he asked her to call him Xiao Wei before, she already knew.

Gu Qingzi proposed a compromise, suggesting that they both take a step back. He should withdraw the martial world token, and she would allow him to live in the county's peaceful city. He would become the leader of the martial world. Xiao Wei disagreed, believing that Gu Yuanjing was slowly being killed by Gu Qingzi's delaying tactics. He ordered someone to take Gu Qingzi away.

Someone came to deliver intelligence to Li Yinzhi, stating that Huayang City was mobilizing troops. Li Yinzhi wanted to lead his troops there but was concerned that if the main army left, Xiao Wei might take action and try to break into Zijin She. Gu Qingzi suggested that Li Yinzhi had no evidence and could be accused, but she had a method. Li Yinzhi led his men to Zijin She, demanding that they hand over the city lord's protégé.

The supervisor knew that there were still many account books inside that should not be discovered. He took Gu Qingzi out and urged him to quickly appease Li Yinzhi and not cause trouble here. Gu Qingzi said that if he had been able to appease Li Yinzhi earlier, they wouldn't have separated. Gu Qingzi came over and said a lot of sweet words to Li Yinzhi, leaving the people around them stunned.

Xiao Wei stated that Gu Qingzi was right here and ordered everyone to follow the martial world token and kill Gu Qingzi. Li Yinzhi and his men fought against these people. Xiang Wanqing got into a fight with them, and one person stabbed Xiang Wanqing with a sword. Yun Feiran saw this and blocked the attack for Xiang Wanqing. Yun Feiran fell into Xiang Wanqing's arms and started crying. She said that she looked like a woman when she cried, but she shouldn't cry anymore in the future.

Li Yinzhi and his men fought their way in and found Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei said that he wanted to create chaos in the city and let all the officials know that Gu Qingzi was unworthy of her position. He claimed that a woman shouldn't occupy this position, and the previous city lord had given everything to Gu Qingzi without ever caring about him. It was his mother who raised him. Gu Qingzi said that there was no one who didn't love him; it was he who turned a blind eye. Xiao Wei threw the jade pendant at Gu Qingzi but was blocked by Li Yinzhi.

Gu Qingzi informed the officials that he had obtained evidence of Yang Gaoli's misconduct. If they did their job well, he would never mention it for the rest of his life. Li Yinzhi fainted, as it turned out Xiao Wei had poisoned the jade pendant.

Li Yinzhi explained everything to Gu Qingzi, then collapsed in Gu Qingzi's arms. Gu Qingzi held Li Yinzhi and burst into tears. Gu Qingzi went to find Xiao Wei and asked him to bring out the antidote. Gu Qingzi said she knew what Xiao Wei wanted, which was the position of city lord, so she would give him that position. She had already prepared the abdication certificate and self-accusation decree. Xiao Wei gave the antidote to Gu Qingzi, and Gu Qingzi instructed Xiang Wanqing to keep an eye on Xiao Wei. If he didn't bring back Li Yinzhi by dusk, she would kill him.

Xiao Wei put on the dragon robe and ascended to the position of city lord. The officials below respectfully welcomed the new ruler. Gu Qingzi and Xiao Wei became a couple in front of the thatched cottage. Gu Qingzi said that Li Yinzhi couldn't be her emperor anymore, but Li Yinzhi expressed his desire to be the emperor because Gu Qingzi was the city lord. Since that was the case, they would live as ordinary people, wandering the world together. Gu Qingzi showed Li Yinzhi the marriage token that she had hidden before.

Xiang Wanqing was about to be executed by Xiao Wei, and Gu Qingzi and Li Yinzhi arrived. Li Yinzhi was not in a hurry. One of Li Yinzhi's subordinates informed Xiao Wei that the Huayang City's army was pressing in, and the crown prince of Huayang City demanded that Xiang Wanqing be handed over to them. Xiao Wei had no choice but to hand over Xiang Wanqing. Xiao Wei was forced to step down, and the crown prince of Huayang City arrived. Xiao Wei realized that he was actually Yun Feiran and understood that everything was their plan.

Gu Qingzi reclaimed the throne, and Li Yinzhi showed Xiao Wei a wristband, explaining that the former city lord had taken in many orphans, and each one had this wristband. It was meant to foster mutual assistance among them. Xiao Wei didn't believe it and ran out in a frenzy. Gu Qingzi and Li Yinzhi sat together on the highest seat.
