Zi Jin was gambling with her wealth and life. She was betting on how much Xu Yao loved Luoping. She was betting on whether she would have such luck.
The clouds covered the moon, and the sky and the earth fell into darkness for a moment.
Zi Jin stared at the knife in Xu Yao's hand that shone with a desolate white light.
A drop of sweat slipped quietly from her forehead.
The clouds passed by and the crescent moon peeked out, becoming much brighter at night.
"You go! But you'd better remember what you promised tonight, otherwise..."
Xu Yao did not say what would happen next to this "otherwise".
But without him having to say it, Zi Jin understood it in his heart.
She couldn't help but swallow her saliva,
Tremblingly he climbed up from the ground,
He stumbled and staggered towards the lively and noisy place.
Luoping, who had just ran out of the secret passage, was left holding Xu Yao's arm tightly - the man she had relied on for her whole life.

Due to excessive blood loss, Zijin, who was in a daze, just walked towards the place where the lights were dim and the crowds were bustling.
Less than halfway through, we saw the third prince’s mansion in the distance.
That tall magnolia tree,
That wide open window,
There is also the young man in fine clothes standing in front of the window playing the flute.
The sound of the flute dances melodiously,
Like fluttering catkins dancing in the wind and falling one after another,
It's like falling snow filling the world.
It's late at night, why is this prince, who always has sad eyes and brows full of melancholy, still not asleep?
For whom is his flute played?
Whose longing is it for? It haunts him all day and all night, making him unable to sleep and lovesickness?
Seeing the third prince standing in front of the window, Zijin smiled bitterly:
Fate really plays tricks on people.
I'm looking for him but I can't find him.
But now, accidentally and unintentionally, it suddenly appeared in front of me.
When Zi Jin raised his head and looked at the third prince, the third prince in front of the independent window behind the magnolia flower also looked at him at the same time...
