Song Xuanying wanted to strike first. In the flick of a finger, the blade was at Song Xuanren's face. Bai Fengjiu pushed herself forward and went up to him, coiling her arm along the force to twist his attack, preventing him from stabbing. Unexpectedly, as she turned, she was stabbed by the demonic blade. Song Xuanying found that her wound did not bleed and realized she was no ordinary person.

At the same time, Ye Qingti, having received the imperial decree, rushed towards the Royal Tomb. Near the entrance, he came face to face with A Mang. A Mang did not want to fight, so he used a spell to dodge the attack and quickly escaped. Ye Qingti had doubts but was also worried about the Emperor's safety, so he did not delve deeper, but instead rushed into the underground palace.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Song Xuanying had intended to seize the Spirit Rock at this opportunity, but thankfully Ye Qingti arrived in time. Song Xuanying suddenly felt the change, quickly pressed the mechanism, and locked the Spirit Rock into a stone box. Because Ye Qingti had ruined all his plans, Song Xuanying was enraged and frequently attacked with his blade. Bai Fengjiu saw Ye Qingti desperately blocking, finding it extremely difficult, but unwilling to leave easily.

Just as she was about to step forward to help, Song Xuanying found an opening to strike. Ye Qingti used his body as a shield. Their eyes met, and he let the demonic blade pierce his chest and abdomen. Holding onto his last breath, he forcefully pushed her towards Song Xuanren, then jumped up with all his might and pulled down the iron grate. The stone door was heavy and slowly closed.

Ye Qingti's armor was broken, his hair tied loosely. He appeared to be in a state of disarray, yet he still retained his unyielding spirit. He looked back with lingering affection, three quick glances, wanting to imprint Bai Fengjiu's appearance and voice into his eyes—"A stubborn stone will not rot, water has no scale to float. My love, I will not regret this life!" Song Xuanying collaborated with the rebels to cause chaos, causing severe damage to Chengyu Country.

After several changes, the battle at the Royal Tomb finally came to an end. The watchman beat the drum, marking the third watch. Since Bai Fengjiu was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Song Xuanren carried her back to the palace. After diagnosis by the imperial physician, although her pulse was stable, her injuries were strange and the root cause was difficult to determine. After the imperial physician left, Song Xuanren tucked her quilt in.

He wanted to touch her jaw but feared the dew was too heavy. He should have left immediately, but he yearned for a moment of quiet. He verbally expressed all his deep affection, until the watchman beat the drum for the fourth time, when he turned and closed the door before leaving. The Empress Dowager heard the news and was heartbroken, partly due to the pain of losing a son and partly due to the sins of her own son.

Seeing that Song Xuanying still showed no signs of remorse and even came to comfort her, she felt even more ashamed. Things having come to this, having experienced this disaster, the Empress Dowager had also come to understand much. Between Song Xuanren and Bai Fengjiu, she no longer dwelt on past matters, nor would she interfere rashly.

Bai Fengjiu met Ye Qingti in her dream and called out softly, but in her trance, he turned into nothingness and disappeared without a trace. In a flash, she opened her eyes, and it was still a vague scene. Looking back again, only sorrow remained. She tore off a white cloth strip and tied it to the top of her hair, wishing to observe mourning for Ye Qingti for three years.

Cheng Yu witnessed the whole process, deeply knowing that Bai Fengjiu had suffered a huge blow, but did not know how to comfort her. She could only descend to the mortal realm to deliver medicine, sighing that humans and immortals follow different paths. Song Xuanren visited Yuehua Palace again and saw Bai Fengjiu sitting alone in the pavilion, staring blankly. His heart was clear, yet he did not avoid her.

He walked slowly, sat down beside her, and in a humble attitude, asked Bai Fengjiu to forget what happened before and start anew. Bai Fengjiu did not respond in time, but quietly left the palace the next day. Song Xuanren searched in many places, and finally, a city guard found that Lady Jiu had ridden a horse westwards. By the time Song Xuanren arrived, Bai Fengjiu was standing at the edge of the abyss.

The white gauze curtain fluttered repeatedly, as if she was a solitary figure, like something from beyond the heavens. This place's scenery was once enjoyed with an old friend, and this white bracelet was also a gift from an old friend. Now that the old friend was gone and parting was imminent, Bai Fengjiu's heart was like dead ash.

She stated her love and then jumped down, growing smaller and farther away, leaving only Song Xuanren's heartbreaking cries and unbearable pain. Bai Fengjiu used this experience to help the Emperor Donghua overcome his love trial. After the mortal realm matters were concluded, she retrieved Ye Qingti's body and brought it to the Underworld Department.

Because Ye Qingti died by a demonic blade and was infected by impure energy, even if his fate were to be reignited, he could only turn into a demon. To find a way to save him, she would need to find a Pipa tree fruit to recreate his immortal body, dissolve the demonic energy, and wash away his mortal dust in the Nine Heavens Yao Pool, so he could be reborn as an immortal.

Although Pipa trees grow in places like the Nine Heavens and the Western Heaven Pure Land, picking the fruit is not difficult, but they have not bloomed for nearly ten thousand years. To find an immortal fruit, one can only wait for fate. Xie Gouchou could only place Ye Qingti on the Yuangi Terrace to temporarily protect him and buy time for Bai Fengjiu.

From then on, Song Xuanren vomited blood and fell into a coma, waking up after a few days appearing aged by several years. The inner palace was shrouded in sorrow. The Empress Dowager came to visit and offer comfort, but Song Xuanren had no desire to live. He asked her to establish a new ruler, and the Empress Dowager was heartbroken upon hearing this. In Yuehua Palace, a single lamp flickered weakly, casting trembling shadows.

The table was clean as new, untouched by dust. Song Xuanren, in his final moments, could not see his beloved, only holding onto memories with regret. Her valiant appearance, dancing in the courtyard, her clever eyes, her beautiful eyes. He saw the dark sky outside the window, the star river connected in a line—the beautiful person first appeared. The Emperor of Chengyu died of depression.

Several years later, Nie Chuyin led troops to attack Chengyu Country and seize the Spirit Rock. After three and a half autumns and a cycle of reincarnation, the various aspects of the mortal world, their fate ended here. When all things returned to their true nature, on the Nine Heavens, a tear dropped from the corner of Emperor Donghua's eye, as if he had just woken up, fully clear, without any love left.
