Shi Ying brought Chong Ming to the prison to interrogate the captive. Just as they were about to extract information, the person was assassinated by Wu Xian in secret. Unexpectedly, Shi Ying entered an illusion while tracing the traces and saw the Star Sovereign Emperor Langxuan in the illusion. Langxuan killed Wu Xian because he believed that the Ice Clan no longer had any use at the moment. Langxuan admitted his identity and revealed that he was still alive due to his obsession with Empress Bai Wei. Shi Ying questioned Langxuan's alliance with the Ice Clan and his intention to destroy the prosperous era of Kongsang that was co-established with Empress Bai Wei. Langxuan did not want to witness Kongsang's downfall and intended to destroy it with his own hands and rebuild order.

Shi Ying knew that Langxuan had ignited the flames of the Ice Clan's revival. Anyone who opposed Kongsang, even the Star Sovereign Emperor, he was willing to fight. Langxuan had betrayed Empress Bai Wei's deep affection in the past, leading her to believe that he was growing distant. He regretted his mistakes for thousands of years and was now tired of wandering. He had been waiting for Shi Ying and told him that he could choose to become an emperor or someone who assists the emperor. With Shi Ying around, Langxuan could finally meet Empress Bai Wei without worries. He asked Shi Ying to kill him, and without hesitation, Shi Ying killed the Star Sovereign Emperor.

After coming out of the illusion, Shi Ying told Chong Ming that the wise man in the illusion was the Star Sovereign Emperor Langxuan, who used the Ice Clan to target Kongsang due to his obsession with Empress Bai Wei. With the death of the Tenth Witch Wu Xian and the weakness of the Ice Clan, Kongsang only faced a threat from the Sea Country Army.

Bai Fenglin wanted to interrogate the captive merfolk and desired to gain military achievements through the war. On the way, Qing Gang was ordered by Shi Yu to take away the merfolk captives from the Sea Country Army, causing Bai Fenglin to hate Shi Ying even more for suggesting a ceasefire and withdrawal of troops.

Shi Yu was overseeing the troop withdrawal, and Shi Ying also received a decree to protect the safety of civilians during the conflict. Zhi Yuan thanked Shi Ying for considering their well-being and hoped that after the ceasefire, there would be no more disputes between the two clans, and the land of Yun Huang would have lasting peace. Hearing Shi Ying's conversation with Chong Ming, Shi Yu learned something. The happiest moment of Zhu Yan's life was when she joined Shi Ying's sect and spent her days with him at Jiuyi Mountain. The most painful moment was being expelled by Shi Ying and thinking that she would never see him again. Zhi Yuan knew that Shi Ying was the one who could truly make Zhu Yan happy, but he couldn't take care of her in the future due to his responsibilities to the clan. He hoped that Shi Ying would never make Zhu Yan cry again. Shi Ying agreed to Zhi Yuan's request, and Zhi Yuan shared his own heartache with Shi Ying. Two hundred years ago, the one who signed the peace treaty between Kongsang and the merfolk was Zhi Yuan's beloved, the Chieftess of the Chi Clan, Chi Zhu Feili. He recounted his past with Chi Zhu Feili, how they fell in love despite belonging to different clans. The greatest thing he ever did was to tell her that he loved her. Zhi Yuan hoped that his experience would enlighten Shi Ying and that Shi Ying would confess his feelings to Zhu Yan.

Shi Ying came to visit Zhu Yan, who didn't want her master to see her in such a messy state. She pretended to have an upset stomach to ask her master for a prescription while secretly hiding her mess. Zhu Yan unintentionally got closer to Shi Ying while hiding her things, making Shi Ying very nervous and shy. Shi Ying invited Zhu Yan to visit the lantern festival together tomorrow. Zhu Yan was delighted to know that she could go to the market with her master.

The next day, Zhu Yan took Shi Ying to a calligraphy and painting store to have fun. She explained the knowledge of calligraphy and painting that she had studied intensively overnight to Shi Ying. The curious passersby asked for explanations of other paintings, and when Zhu Yan started to make things up, Shi Ying quickly came to help explain. Zhu Yan admitted that she was mischievous, but Shi Ying found it amusing to be silly with her. Shi Ying originally wanted Zhu Yan to stop regarding him as her master, but Zhu Yan couldn't understand his intentions.

Shi Ying wanted to find a shadow puppet show ending that he had never seen as a child. Zhu Yan wandered around the market to help Shi Ying find his childhood memories. She used the excuse that her body wasn't fully recovered to hold his hand while they admired the fireworks and lanterns in the bustling market.

Finally, Zhu Yan found the shadow puppet show that Shi Ying wanted at the lantern festival market. Shi Ying asked the shopkeeper about the ending of the show ten years ago, but due to Qing Fei's announcement about the Princess of the Chi Clan entering the palace for training, they could not perform any love stories. To compensate for their regret, the shopkeeper decided to cut a small portrait for them. With the shopkeeper's guidance, Shi Ying personally cut a portrait for Zhu Yan. The shopkeeper praised it as an exquisite work from a couple in love. The shopkeeper also allowed them to pick a marriage blessing letter, and Shi Ying chose one with auspicious meaning. Shi Ying told Zhu Yan that after settling the matter of troop withdrawal, he would take off his god robe, but before he could reveal his feelings, he learned that Shi Yu had encountered trouble according to Chong Ming's message.
