Zhou Yinzhi was dragged back by Daoyin. Jiang Xuening glared at him with hatred. He pleaded for his life, saying the Xue family had already launched a coup. If he died, no one would do her bidding again. But to Jiang Xuening, Zhou Yinzhi’s life wasn’t worth one ten-thousandth of You Fangyin’s. Lü Xian raised his sword and killed Zhou Yinzhi in revenge.

Zhang Zhe handed Xie Wei a token granted by the Emperor, allowing him entry into the imperial city and command of the Yan family army. He said someone like Xie Wei shouldn’t die here. But the Duke of Xue arrived with reinforcements. To him, Xie Wei—his son Xue Dingfei—had lived twenty extra years by heaven’s grace, and he felt no affection for him. Daoyin led troops through a secret passage into the palace.

In her panic, Jiang Xuening twisted her ankle and could only limp along. Xue Shu took advantage of the Emperor’s drowsiness from his medicine to strangle him in his sleep. Zhang Zhe and Yan Lin supported each other against the enemy. Just in time, Yan Lin brought reinforcements from the Yan family army, capturing Xue Ye and the Duke of Xue. Xie Wei and the Emperor had laid out a plan before leaving the capital.

Xie Wei had revealed his true identity and the tiger-head shoes in the tunnel. He explained that years ago, Prince Pingnan had indeed killed part of the three hundred soldiers, using the rest to force the Emperor to appear. The Duke of Xue, seeking glory for breaking into the city, ignored the battle plan and enraged Prince Pingnan into a massacre. Over the years, the Duke of Xue had committed countless atrocities.

Xie Wei and the Emperor had staged this scheme to rise from the ashes. The Emperor had long known and approved of it—and was aware that Xue Shu was poisoning him. Xue Shu failed to kill the Emperor and was caught on the spot. Though defeated, the Duke of Xue still tried to disgust Xie Wei. No matter what, he was Xie Wei’s biological father. If Xie Wei killed him, how would he face the judgment of the world?

Jiang Xuening rushed to the palace, horrified by the carnage. The Duke of Xue tried to incite Xie Wei to join him, but Xie Wei took Yan Lin’s sword and slashed at his own hand again. The debt of blood was now repaid in full. Even if Xie Wei didn’t kill him, the Emperor would. The Duke should atone before his mother in the afterlife. Seeing Jiang Xuening arrive, Xie Wei froze.

At that moment, the Duke lunged again and shot an arrow at Xie Wei, only to be killed by Daoyin. Xie Wei was struck and collapsed into Jiang Xuening’s arms. She sobbed in fear, begging him to wake up—promising she would marry him if he did. Hearing this, Xie Wei opened his eyes. Her words were true. The chaos came to an end. The Empress Dowager was sent to guard the tombs, never to return.

Xue Shu was given poisoned wine. The rest were exiled to Huangzhou, forbidden from returning. Lü Xian grieved the loss of his beloved, while Xue Dingfei lived freely. After the Emperor’s death, the throne passed to Consort Qin’s young son, with Xie Wei as regent. Though honored with many titles, Xie Wei felt lost. He had plotted so much, yet he was just someone who should have died twenty years ago. As he came, so should he go.

Jiang Xuening dreamed of Xie Wei cutting his own throat and woke with a start, only to find him beside her, holding a cat. Outside, their children Xie Tian and Xie Yun were building a snowman, a scene of happiness and peace. They had found a secluded paradise, living like a fairy-tale couple. Shen Zhiyi, Yan Lin, and Zhang Zhe came to visit for the New Year, and Jiang Xuening invited them in. Xie Wei followed behind, carrying Xie Yun.

Xie Tian kept praising Zhang Zhe and got two kicks from Xie Wei for it. Time flew by, and Jiang Xuening and Xie Wei lived like an immortal couple. After typing “The End” on her computer, Jiang Ning received news that her book would be published in print. Soon after, she met her editor “Xie Juan. ” When their eyes met, it felt like they had seen each other before.
