> Resumos de A LOVER IN THE MORTAL WORLD
Liu Chu visited the prison with a jar of wine, the same vintage he, Xiao Chi, and Fei Zheng had brewed together years ago. He mocked Fei Zheng, revealing that Li Shichang had died from poison at court and the Changmo army was already at the gates of the capital.
Though Fei Zheng confessed to being a spy sold to the Changmo military as a child, he insisted that the warmth he felt from Liu Chu and Xiao Chi in Jinglan was the first time he truly felt human.
Liu Chu initially intended to keep him alive to witness the destruction of Changmo, but Fei Zheng, seeking a release from his guilt, deliberately provoked the Emperor by claiming it would soon be too late for Liu Chu to take his life. Enraged, Liu Chu stabbed his former brother. In his final moments, Fei Zheng begged to be buried in the bamboo forest where they once shared happy memories, praying for the Emperor’s health and the peace of Jinglan.
Covered in blood, Liu Chu went to see Jiang Wanyu. Heartbroken and horrified by the deaths of those close to the Emperor, she realized she might be the next to die. Liu Chu defended his coldness as the burden of a monarch who could no longer trust anyone. Jiang Wanyu lamented the irony of her title as Princess Heshan, as her husband and her father were now poised to kill each other.
When asked who she would choose, she declared she would not live if Liu Chu died, yet she mourned that the man she once loved had changed into someone who only loved himself and his power. To her, even the name of their unborn child seemed irrelevant now that their world had fallen apart. At dawn, Xiao Chi prepared to depart for the front lines.
His master, Liu Xiyang, presented him with an ancestral spear, urging him to use it well and return it personally after the victory. On the city walls, Liu Chu watched as Xiao Chi rallied the troops, declaring that with their families behind them, there was no room for retreat. Han Yunling, determined to help, followed the army to the battlefield to provide medical aid despite the danger.
As the battle commenced, Jiang Wanyu rushed to the front lines, pleading with her father, the King of Changmo, to withdraw. She begged him to remember his promise of peace and mentioned that her unborn child—the bond between their two nations—was proof that the fighting should end. However, the King remained unmoved and ordered a full-scale charge. Amidst the violent clashing of armies, Jiang Wanyu went into labor.
Han Yunling braved the chaos to reach her and assist with the delivery on the battlefield. Xiao Chi fought with ferocity and succeeded in killing the enemy general Gan Yi. While the war raged around her, Jiang Wanyu endured the pain of childbirth while drifting through memories of her past with Liu Chu. When a daughter was finally born, Jiang Wanyu begged Han Yunling to take the infant away and hide her so that Liu Chu would never find her.
The Hall Master tried to seize the baby to "protect the royal bloodline," but Xiao Chi intervened, allowing Han Yunling to escape with the child. Xiao Chi eventually killed both the Hall Master and the King of Changmo with his arrows. Though surrounded by the remaining Changmo forces, he fought to his last breath to secure the victory for Jinglan. Still believing Fei Zheng was alive, he called out to Liu Chu to honor his promise and release their friend.
As the battle ended, Liu Chu descended from the city walls to find Jiang Wanyu. Pale and weak, she told him he would never see his child before she died from a massive hemorrhage. Nearby, seeing the King dead and his cause lost, Fan Ershu committed suicide by taking poison. In the aftermath, a maddened Liu Chu searched everywhere for Han Yunling and the baby, but found nothing.
In a final, horrific act of vengeance, he ordered the massacre of hundreds of thousands of surrendered Changmo soldiers. Years later, Han Yunling and the young girl, Yue'er, lived in the vast desert. Yue'er questioned why they visited the border every year, and Han Yunling explained it was the only place where they could still see the shadow of Jinglan and those who loved them. Eventually, they traveled to the General's Mansion at Tianlang Pass. While Yue'er explored the house, Xiao Chi finally appeared before Han Yunling, marking a silent, long-awaited reunion between the two.
