Zhu Yan returned to the Wujin City after being away for ten days. She learned from her maid that Jialan had invited her to participate in the grand ceremony at Jiuyi Mountain. According to ancestral customs, the eldest daughter of the Bai family would lead the dance as the envoy of the stars during the ceremony. However, if other noble ladies performing the accompanying dance were impressive, they could also bring honor to their families. Zhu Yan hurriedly went to her father and the consorts, expressing her desire to participate in the ceremony and promising that her dance skills would pass the test within three days.

Three days later, Zhu Yan accompanied her father to Jiuyi Mountain for the grand ceremony. By the Star Lake, Shi Ying, who had grown up, practiced the Qingyin Lu Ling, hoping to present it to his mother before her birthday. Chong Ming, the divine bird, came to invite Shi Ying to the grand ceremony at Jiuyi Mountain, but Shi Ying was unmoved and ultimately angered Chong Ming, who left in frustration.

Zhu Yan asked the servants on Jiuyi Mountain if there were any ancient secret techniques that could transcend the boundaries of yin and yang. Upon hearing Zhu Yan's words, Da Si Ming, the high priest, stated that life and death were predetermined, and forcibly breaking the boundaries of yin and yang would go against the natural order and was a taboo for practitioners. Da Si Ming realized that Zhu Yan was a curious person and warned her not to trespass in Jiuyi Mountain, especially in the Valley of Emperors behind the mountain. The Valley of Emperors was the burial place of past emperors and empresses, guarded by the Earthly Ring of Queen Bai Wei, with the eternal divine beast Chong Ming as its guardian. Those who trespassed there would never return.

Shi Ying finally refined the Qingyin Lu Ling and had the divine bird deliver it to the queen. Consuming the item would restore the clear voice that had been affected by the fire on that day. Unexpectedly, Chong Ming accidentally scratched his face with a tree branch. In order to avoid disfigurement, he asked Shi Ying to help find a remedy for his facial injury. Reluctantly, Shi Ying agreed to help. Zhu Yan unexpectedly saw Chong Ming, the divine bird, on Jiuyi Mountain and noticed another person accompanying him. She believed that this person must possess powerful magic and disregarded her maid's attempts to stop her, insisting on following them.

Zhu Yan caught up to them on the mountain and asked Chong Ming if there was someone practicing with him. Unfortunately, Chong Ming refused to tell her. The servants from Zhu Yan's residence came to call her back to participate in the ceremony, so she had no choice but to give up her inquiry and hurriedly descend the mountain. Bai Xuelu, the princess of the Bai clan, had outstanding dance skills that earned praise, while Bai Xueying, also a princess, was not acknowledged. Zhu Yan always believed that her good friend, Bai Xueying, was the true envoy of the stars. She pulled Bai Xueying forward, declaring her as the true envoy and encouraging her to dance in front of everyone.

The wise ones from the Ice Tribe ordered the ten witch leaders to gather forces and plan to infiltrate the Valley of Emperors during the Jiuyi Mountain ceremony to obtain the Earthly Ring. Bai Xueying wanted to show her mother's handmade dance dress to her friend. At that moment, Bai Xuelu arrived, admitting that she acknowledged her sister's superiority in both dance steps and background. She just wanted to admire Bai Xueying's dance dress. Bai Xueying, with a kind heart, handed the dance dress to Bai Xuelu to appreciate, but unexpectedly, Bai Xuelu dropped it off the cliff. The cliff was the forbidden area of the Valley of Emperors, and once the dance dress fell, it would be impossible to retrieve it. Now, without the envoy's dance dress, the qualification to offer the dance to the gods was lost. If they couldn't find another solution before the grand ceremony, someone else would have to take the lead.

Bai Xuelu always wanted to become the crown prince's wife to silence those who criticized her background. Zhu Yan wanted to help her friend retrieve the dance dress, so she drugged her maid in the middle of the night and secretly climbed down the cliff into the Valley of Emperors. Zhu Yan found Snow Xueying's dance dress by the Star Lake and, captivated by the beautiful scenery, couldn't help but put on the dress and dance gracefully. Shi Ying sensed something unusual and came out to investigate. He unexpectedly saw Zhu Yan dancing and rescued her when she almost fell into the lake. Upon hearing Zhu Yan introduce herself, Shi Ying realized that she was the little princess of the Chi tribe from all those years ago. Chong Ming, the divine bird, saw Shi Ying and Zhu Yan meet and knew that Zhu Yan was the one destined for Shi Ying. He wanted Shi Ying to kill Zhu Yan.
