Though Guo Village was in a mountainous area, it was famed as the granary of the world—its annual output could feed several cities. Where there is fertile land, there must be water for irrigation. Cheng Shaoshang sent the Liang brothers to search for wells and suddenly remembered that Wang Yanji had once mentioned that Tian Shuo had planted hundreds of stones of kerosene on the Crown Prince’s secret visit to Guo Village.
If this were true, he wouldn’t burn just one village. As Cheng Shaoshang pondered where else Tian Shuo might have planted kerosene, dozens of arrows suddenly rained down on Guo Village. Many villagers couldn’t escape in time and died on the spot. In the blink of an eye, fires erupted across the village. Despite repeated attempts to douse the flames with water, the fire only grew fiercer. Cheng Shaoshang quickly told everyone to smother it with sand and soil.
A nearby village erupted in towering flames and thick black smoke that darkened the sky. Tian Shuo was overjoyed by the sight. On the other hand, Ling Buyi was filled with rage and frustration. His worst fear had come true. Known for his decisiveness, even he now hesitated—should he continue to pursue Tian Shuo or rush to save lives? Tian Shuo’s true aim was to burn tens of thousands of acres of farmland, create famine, and shake the nation’s foundation.
He was certain that his two hundred warriors ambushed in Guo Village had already struck. He mocked Ling Buyi for risking his beloved to protect royal heirs. The Third Prince urged Ling Buyi to go and rescue Guo Village to avoid repeating the mistake from five years ago. Still, Ling Buyi chose to believe in Cheng Shaoshang and swore that if she truly died because of this, he would not live either.
In the end, Tian Shuo was no match for Ling Buyi and was quickly defeated, though he kept cursing Ling Buyi as a sycophantic lackey to power. Before he could finish, Ling Buyi thrust his sword into Tian Shuo’s chest and said that when the Tyrant Emperor died, all the officials and servants with names were buried with him. The only reason Tian Shuo survived was because he was nameless and insignificant.
These words utterly broke Tian Shuo, who could not argue against the truth. Ling Buyi ended Tian Shuo’s life with one final strike and left a team to handle the aftermath before hurrying with the Black Guards to Guo Village. At that time, Cheng Shaoshang and the others were surrounded on all sides. Fortunately, Cheng Shi and his wife arrived with the entire Cheng household in time.
By the time Ling Buyi joined them, all two hundred of the so-called warriors had been slain, and the fires were fully extinguished. Though Cheng Shaoshang was covered in soot, in Ling Buyi’s eyes, she was still the most beautiful woman in the world. They looked at each other from afar and then embraced tightly in front of everyone. The Cheng family and their followers, though exhausted and burned, felt deeply comforted by the sight.
Since ancient times, heroes and beauties defending their people have always been lauded through the ages. On the calm night afterward, a vast plain on the border of the two provinces was dotted with countless tents. In one western medical tent, Liang Qiu Fei lay on the bed crying non-stop. Back in the northwest, he had once tried to persuade Ling Buyi to marry Luo Jitong. Looking back now, he deeply regretted it—he had nearly caused a grave mistake.
Cheng Song overheard the Liang brothers’ conversation and sighed that they had known too few women and thus were easily deceived. He then proudly talked about his own female confidante. Wan Qiqi brought medicine to the barracks. Cheng Shaogong deliberately exaggerated and passed the story on to their sister-in-law, gleefully watching his brother get beaten up. Elsewhere, Ling Buyi kept pestering Yuan Shen about how long he planned to lie in bed, since Cheng Shaoshang had already asked multiple times.
Though Yuan Shen’s injuries weren’t serious, he insisted on staying down. In truth, he had realized that after everything, Ling Buyi had once again reclaimed his place in Cheng Shaoshang’s heart—or perhaps he had never left it. Yuan Shen finally came to understand that he had always thought he was similar to Cheng Shaoshang—but he had been completely wrong. Because of his parents, Yuan Shen despised deep and eternal love.
From a young age, he believed that sincere emotions were like poison and blades—things that would hinder his great future and wear down his ambitions. But today, he finally saw that Cheng Shaoshang was a person who valued love and loyalty deeply—and so was Ling Buyi. That’s why Yuan Shen willingly accepted his loss and gave his heartfelt blessings. Ling Buyi, hearing this, promised that he would never let Cheng Shaoshang suffer again.
He then stepped out of the tent and saw her not far away. That night, the moonlight was perfect, the sky like silk, and the breeze was cool and soothing. As it stirred their hearts, Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi expressed their feelings to each other and sealed their love with a kiss under the moonlight. Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi stood nearby, and only after it ended did they approach to solemnly entrust their daughter to Ling Buyi.
Far away in the capital, Old Madam Cheng burst into laughter upon hearing that Ling Buyi and Cheng Shaoshang had reconciled, already imagining crates of betrothal gifts being sent to the Cheng family. But Emperor Wen, upon learning that the two planned to marry in Hua County, became anxious and flustered. After worrying about Ling Buyi’s marriage for so many years, he couldn’t believe he wouldn’t be able to attend the wedding.
Unwilling to listen to his nagging, the Empress Dowager returned to her chambers, ignoring his shouts outside. The crisp air of late autumn refreshed both mind and body. In the vast, quiet Central Plains—like a majestic temple built from rough stone—everyone stood together on a hill, gazing at the distant Milky Way. The sky was studded with stars like gems on deep blue velvet. It was breathtakingly beautiful, watching over the peace of the land, as lovers finally found their way to one another.
