Zichuan Xiu wanted to return the necklace to Budan. He had no desire to be the Lightbringer—he only wanted to leave. But Budan believed what they lacked was a leader, and Zichuan Xiu was the most suitable. She sincerely pleaded with him, promising to unite all armies under his command. She believed he was the prophesied Lightbringer who would lead them into brightness. Zichuan Xiu feared dragging everyone down, but Budan had already considered that.

They would do everything in their power to help him become Yuanzhou’s king. She even retrieved a box from the water and gifted it to him. Everyone believed the box was a rare treasure and urged Zichuan Xiu to open it. Inside were not sacred relics, but an old robe and a mask. Zichuan Xiu immediately lost interest. Bai Chuan, however, encouraged everyone, saying the humble outfit was intentional—to set an example for the leader.

Luo Minghai feared Zichuan Ning would face trouble collecting funds and wanted Canxing to step in. But Canxing declined, saying that Zichuan Ning, as the future ruler of Zichuan, needed to face these challenges, and that some hidden forces needed to be exposed and eliminated. The Three Ministries discussed the upcoming banquet. Everyone knew it was to make them contribute funds and were displeased.

Ma Wei said Zichuan Ning would also offer valuable treasures and that her hosting role signaled political backing. Not showing support might jeopardize their own interests. Some thought Ma Wei was leveraging her status to rise in power and ignored him. Others believed him. Ma Wei gave a gift to Registrar Wange, asking him to support Zichuan Ning, and Wange agreed on the spot. At the banquet, Ma Wei introduced Zichuan Ning to Wange and others.

Li Qing, Si Yilin, and Di Lin also attended to show support. Si Yilin admired how Ma Wei managed to gather such people, and Di Lin believed Ma Wei was indeed clever. The situation had become critical. Zichuan Ning issued honorary medals, but to receive one required significant contributions. She assigned the renovation project to Ma Wei. He swore to do his best. Zichuan Ning admired how he could gather such support.

When she learned he gifted Wange an East Sea Pearl, she felt indebted. Ma Wei took the opportunity to invite her to enjoy the moon together, but Si Yilin came and called Zichuan Ning away. Di Lin then spoke privately with Ma Wei. Ma Wei said he liked the knife Di Lin had auctioned and regretted not getting it—he’d pay 8,000 gold for it now. Di Lin handed him the knife. Ma Wei couldn’t refuse and accepted it reluctantly.

Di Lin had given Ma Wei a lesson. They all saw Ma Wei’s intentions—to position himself for future political power. But his methods were indeed brilliant; he made others sacrifice without even realizing it. Later, Zichuan Ning told Ma Wei she was only grateful and would offer nothing more. Ma Wei feigned melancholy, claiming he was a passionate man—just like her. Li Qing arrived and stopped him, taking Zichuan Ning away. Wange then insulted Li Qing’s reputation.

Si Yilin rushed over, warning everyone that anyone who dared slander Li Qing would face his sword. He personally escorted Zichuan Ning and Li Qing back. Privately, Li Qing stopped Si Yilin and admitted she had always loved him. She wanted to know his true thoughts—was he just protecting her or did he care for her? What did he think of this marriage? Si Yilin said none of this was what he wanted, including the marriage.

So many had died in Payi City, and it was his responsibility. Now, he would marry Li Qing and live as everyone expected. When Xiujia gave birth, complications arose. Di Lin rushed over and saw women carrying basins of blood. He seemed to see his fallen comrades and felt sorrowful. When Xiujia woke, the child was gone. She cried uncontrollably in Di Lin’s arms. Di Lin gently combed her hair, saying as long as she was well, that was enough.

Xiujia feared she might never have children again, but Di Lin said as long as he had her, it was enough—child or no child, he would love her for life. Zichuan Xiu visited Budan again, convinced that the mask and robe weren’t the real gift and asked for the true one. Unexpectedly, Budan told him to undress and soak in the holy spring—it could heal his body and renew him. But only a true king could use the spring.

While in the water, Zichuan Xiu saw Di Lin and Si Yilin fighting. Di Lin killed Si Yilin and came after Zichuan Xiu, seemingly unable to hear him. Zichuan Xiu struck Di Lin and then saw Zichuan Ning—but she disappeared. Si Yilin reappeared and entrusted the Zichuan family to him. When he came to, it felt like a dream. He told Budan what he had seen and asked for its meaning. Budan affirmed that Zichuan Xiu was the Lightbringer.

What he saw was the future—and it was coming soon. Zichuan Xiu began to believe it himself. He donned the mask and robe. The people of Yuanzhou sang praises to the Lightbringer, believing he would tear through the darkness and lead them to dawn.
