The princess planned to wait for Liu Fuyi at the Hall of Flourishing Goodness, but unexpectedly, Liu Fuyi came to see her before she set out. He didn’t want her to suffer criticism on his behalf, so he came early to make things clear: no matter how long she waited, he wouldn’t come. He promised he would not appear before her again in the future. The princess couldn’t understand why Mu Yao mattered so much to him.
Liu Fuyi’s eyes were filled with sorrow as he thought of Mu Yao—a strong, determined woman. Five years ago, while tracking a powerful demon, he was injured and saved by Mu Yao. She was always silent and serious, and many in the martial world ridiculed her, doubting her ability to restore the Mu family’s honor. But Mu Yao, along with Mu Sheng, fought relentlessly, proving that as long as she led, the Mu family would not fall.
Mu Sheng had never seen Mu Yao’s vulnerable side, but Liu Fuyi had. Perhaps Mu Yao assumed he was unconscious at the time, so she allowed herself to reveal her worries. What she didn’t know was that he had regained consciousness from the very first day and heard her every word, all the way to this day.
To Liu Fuyi, Mu Yao was his true love; he wanted to protect and accompany her, whether she knew it or returned his love. Liu Fuyi told the princess that she was a remarkable woman and deserved the best love. Madam Ruyi revealed to the young marquis that Ling Miaomiao only agreed to marry him because of an enchanted wooden bracelet. Years ago, a demoness from Qilin Mountain used it to bewitch his father, Marquis Qingyi.
Madam Ruyi urged him to destroy the bracelet and stay away from demonic influences to avoid future disaster. The young servant suddenly realized that Ling Miaomiao, who didn’t seem the type to marry impulsively, was likely under the bracelet's influence. On the wedding day, Ling Miaomiao, dressed in her wedding clothes and carefully adorned by attendants, overheard them talking about Marquis Qingyi.
They mentioned how he had gone on a long journey before his wedding, only to return a changed man, eventually attacked by a peculiar little boy with a strange headband. Ling Miaomiao’s mind filled with flashes of memories, recalling Mu Sheng saying that Qilin Mountain might be connected to her family. She instinctively wanted to find Mu Sheng, but the servants prevented her.
The young marquis remembered he was supposed to exchange the wooden bracelet with a blessing bracelet for the wedding and rushed back inside. When he saw Ling Miaomiao, he feared she might have changed her mind, no longer willing to marry him. To his surprise, Ling Miaomiao hadn’t removed the wooden bracelet, thinking it symbolized their engagement and should be worn for the wedding. After hesitating, the young marquis removed it himself, restoring her clarity of mind.
She immediately wanted to find Mu Sheng. The young marquis, understanding the misunderstanding, let her go, unwilling to let a mistake continue. After she left, he broke down in tears, devastated that she had left once the bracelet was removed. Ling Miaomiao, still in her wedding attire, searched for Mu Sheng but was told her companions had already left, and her room at the inn was still unclaimed.
Heartbroken, she opened the door to find it romantically decorated by Mu Sheng, with flowers, fireflies, and a swing chair—all things she had once mentioned. Seeing the thoughtful touches, tears streamed down her face. Mu Sheng appeared unexpectedly, holding a wind chime he had prepared.
It turned out Cui Cui had found him and given him the bamboo dragonfly Ling Miaomiao had wanted him to have, along with a letter she wanted sent to Taicang County, in which she wrote, "I like Ziqi, and I am willing to marry Ziqi. " Moved by her heartfelt letter and the bamboo dragonfly with a carved heart, Mu Sheng regained his strength and resolve, setting aside the past and returning to the capital.
Ling Miaomiao, with tears still on her face, threw herself into Mu Sheng’s arms, now understanding his feelings. She repeatedly apologized, and Mu Sheng’s fondness for her had unknowingly reached ninety-nine percent. While the princess mourned her broken heart, Mu Yao found her and asked for her help with something important. Meanwhile, Guo Xiu sought out the young marquis, asking for his assistance in vanquishing a powerful demon.
Dowager Zhao once again dreamed of Tao Ying, and as she struggled to recover, a servant reported that the princess, seemingly possessed, had dressed in wedding clothes and gone to the Hall of Flourishing Goodness, claiming she was going to be married. Guo Xiu led the Directorate of Astronomy members in supporting Mu Yao from afar, as Mu Yao was determined to enter the formation to slay the demon, ready to face death.
But as she turned, she saw Liu Fuyi, Mu Sheng, Ling Miaomiao, and Cui Cui—all unwilling to let her face this alone. Liu Fuyi had thought Mu Yao saw him as unworthy of her trust, yet to his surprise, she rushed forward and embraced him. Cui Cui quickly covered his eyes.
