When Bai Fengjiu woke up, she saw that Emperor Donghua had ordered his servants to move his belongings over. Initially, she wanted to refuse, but he insisted, so she eventually softened and agreed to share the room—though not the bed. Chacha was still happy for her mistress. As she stepped out, she encountered Lord Chen Ye.
Chen Ye was about to apologize for the events of the previous night when, unexpectedly, he witnessed Bai Fengjiu and Emperor Donghua locked in an intimate embrace. Later, the two went to admire the lotuses in the garden pond. To please her, Emperor Donghua casually conjured a lotus lantern, placing two lotus flowers at its center to hold water, and projected a miniature rockery and a small golden fish inside.
Delighted, Bai Fengjiu snuggled with him on a low couch by the water’s edge to admire it. Though Chen Ye knew everything before him was an illusion, he still felt uneasy. He bowed deeply to Bai Fengjiu from below the pavilion, proactively apologized, and then took his leave. Emperor Donghua was displeased with Chen Ye’s evening visit and spoke with jealousy. Bai Fengjiu retorted, bringing up the past when Emperor Donghua had painted with Ji Heng in Tai Chen Palace.
This left him at a loss for words, so he pretended to be tired and turned away to feign sleep. The next day, after waking, Emperor Donghua drank the tonic soup Bai Fengjiu had personally brewed for him before returning to Qinan Divine Palace to continue forging the magical artifact. Fortunately, Su Moye had gone sleepless for days, expending immense immortal power, and finally shaped the artifact’s blank form.
After Emperor Donghua granted him leave, Su Moye seized the chance to vent his grievances to Bai Fengjiu. Amused, she listened and casually mentioned Chen Ye’s recent movements. Su Moye seemed indignant, but due to Bai Fengjiu’s curiosity, he couldn’t help but trace the origins of the story, ultimately recounting the past. After parting from Chen Ye in the study, Aranya did not wallow in sorrow like ordinary women. Instead, she became more at ease.
Aside from continuing her calligraphy practice and attending operas, she occasionally substituted as an instructor at the clan academy, teaching archery and charioteering. She worked from dawn till dusk, appearing serene. Later, Wen Tian requested to play chess with Chen Ye, and Aranya, calm and unrestrained, naturally agreed. To her surprise, Wen Tian began frequenting Mengchun Courtyard afterward, and she and Chen Ye gradually developed feelings for each other. Months passed, and their relationship grew complicated.
Xi Ze was fortunate enough to capture a Qianyin beast—a creature that caused endless trouble, moved incredibly fast, and felt no pain, making it perfect for training. Aranya received a letter from Xi Ze and, knowing Chen Ye lacked materials for his sword forging, specially invited him to join her. However, Chen Ye failed to recognize her goodwill and insisted on bringing Wen Tian along. Qinan Divine Palace opened its doors to guests.
Chen Ye and Wen Tian first went to the back mountain to collect stones, while Aranya, under Xi Ze’s guidance, took her bow and flew into the forest. Using a stone array as a barrier, she focused on maintaining distance from the beast. Her arrows flew swiftly, but the beast dodged them effortlessly.
Having been starved for a long time, the beast grew frenzied upon catching the scent of humans, moving even faster than usual and causing Aranya to miss repeatedly. In her distraction, she stepped on a loose stone and tumbled from the mountaintop. Seeing this, the beast pounced. Just as Aranya was in mortal danger, Chen Ye suddenly appeared and swiftly cast a protective barrier with a seal, shielding them both.
After narrowly escaping the stone array, Chen Ye furiously accused Xi Ze of being cold-blooded for failing to protect her. Aranya slowly regained consciousness and saw him pressing a hand to the wound on her forehead, his face filled with worry. Convinced that Chen Ye also harbored feelings for her, she couldn’t resist teasing him—only for Wen Tian to witness the scene.
When Bai Fengjiu heard this, she became deeply engrossed in the idea of Aranya and Chen Ye finally being together, quietly forgetting her earlier worries. However, since Aranya and Chen Ye had spent two years together in the manor, Su Moye, fearing painful memories, lied about urgent matters in the West Sea and left. He did not know what transpired during that time. When he returned two years later, he was met with tragic news.
Historical records state that Upper Lord Xiang Lique passed away from illness, and Crown Prince Xiang He ascended the throne. Within seven days of his coronation, the neighboring Night Owl Tribe accused the Winged Bird Tribe of allowing border residents to hunt on their lands and launched an attack. Xiang He personally led the troops but was soon slain in battle.
Since he had no sons, the line of succession dictated that Ju Nuo, had she not been stripped of her title, would have inherited the throne—otherwise, Aranya. Yet, for unknown reasons, rumors spread that Aranya had poisoned Xiang Lique. Thus, Ju Nuo was welcomed back to the capital. Chen Ye submitted a memorial requesting Aranya’s case be transferred to the Divine Palace for investigation before execution. Unexpectedly, the next day, Aranya hanged herself.
By the time Su Moye returned to Fanyin Valley, years had passed since her death, and her primordial spirit had long dissipated. Though he refused to believe the royal family’s explanation, there was nothing he could do. From then on, a deep-seated obsession—and hatred for Chen Ye’s perceived betrayal—took root in his heart. Meanwhile, the old steward reported that the Empress had arrived to inspect the sword-forging progress.
Chen Ye was both surprised and unsettled, as this event was supposed to occur half a year later. He coldly ordered Lady Qinghua brought to the forging room, then dismissed her with a frosty demeanor, prompting her to leave in anger. Jielu, determined to uncover the truth behind Aranya’s fate, knelt stubbornly in the snow. The Female Lord finally took pity and revealed the past: Lady Qinghua, seeking to secure her own power, had removed Aranya as an obstacle.
Her schemes entangled innocent lives and ruined several young souls. After witnessing Aranya’s passionate love, Ju Nuo chose to settle down, marrying a commoner as her consort. Together, they imprisoned Lady Qinghua in the palace until she went mad. In her delirium, the only name she uttered was Aranya’s.
