Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi were married. As Liu Fuyi fell asleep, Mu Yao lay beside him, feeling an unusual sense of peace. However, a voice began calling her name, causing her a sharp headache. Sensing something amiss, Mu Yao left for the outskirts of the village, where she saw someone lying on the ground, appearing lifeless. Just then, Shi Niangzi appeared, and Mu Yao naturally assumed she had killed the person.

But to her surprise, the individual suddenly woke up and praised Shi Niangzi for curing him. Only then did Mu Yao put away her weapon. However, Shi Niangzi’s expression was odd as she urged Mu Yao to return quickly. Worried, Mu Yao asked Guo Xiu to investigate whether the Han Yu Silkworm and Qi Hun Flower required human blood for nourishment.

Guo Xiu examined the ancient texts and confirmed they did not, but he also noted that these two items often attracted phantom demons—strange, natural-born entities that cocoon themselves every few years, undergoing four transformations to become eighth-level demons. Realizing Liu Fuyi might be in danger, Mu Yao rushed back to the village, where she discovered that all the villagers had scars on their chests. They explained these scars were left by Shi Niangzi when she saved them.

Mu Yao immediately thought of the person she had encountered the night before. Realizing the village was unusual, she grabbed Liu Fuyi and prepared to leave, stating that Shi Niangzi had deceived them and the villagers weren’t alive. However, Liu Fuyi, his expression blank, revealed he already knew, as someone had told him earlier. Chu Chu then appeared, and Liu Fuyi, trapped in her illusion, even turned against Mu Yao.

Mu Yao noticed a thread of black hair linking Chu Chu and Liu Fuyi, and she attempted to cut it with her sword. Chu Chu warned her that severing the thread would kill Liu Fuyi. In a shocking moment, Liu Fuyi stabbed Mu Yao, and she noticed the scar on his chest. It was revealed that Chu Chu, the one pulling the strings, was Liu Fuyi’s former rescue, as well as Shi Niangzi and Li Zhun’s daughter.

Ling Miaomiao awoke with no memory of Mu Sheng. Instead, her mind was filled with the image of an unfamiliar figure, whose identity puzzled her. Chu Chu, determined not to lose Liu Fuyi, manipulated him and the villagers alike. Mu Yao, severely injured, was saved by Shi Niangzi. Shi Niangzi revealed that three nights from now, under the full moon, Chu Chu would cocoon herself for the final time.

They had no chance to defeat her, and the only reason she saved Mu Yao was because Chu Chu needed Mu Yao’s blood. The truth surfaced: Chu Chu, Li Zhun’s real daughter, had died ten years ago. In desperation, Shi Niangzi struck a deal with her to save Li Zhun. Chu Chu had demanded the revival of the villagers. Though Shi Niangzi possessed the skill to stitch bodies together, she could not resurrect the dead.

Instead, Chu Chu split her demonic power and used a demon core to revive them. She believed that by bringing everyone back to life, Liu Fuyi would no longer be angry with her. With Shi Niangzi’s cover, Chu Chu had been able to kill so many, but Shi Niangzi didn’t care as long as Li Zhun lived. Ling Miaomiao, now part of the village, spent her days immersed in daily tasks.

While she toiled, Liu Niang explained that she had gone to the flower field. Meanwhile, Mu Sheng, trapped for an entire day, was still alive but barely clinging to hope. Liu Niang, pitying his suffering, decided to end his life herself. She took out a shard of the Glazed Heart, which was part of the demoness’ heart. Liu Niang had nourished it with her own blood daily, hoping to restore the demoness.

With Mu Sheng’s demon core and the Glazed Heart, she believed she could resurrect the demoness, allowing her to live carefree in Qilin Mountain as she once had. Liu Niang didn’t wish to kill Mu Sheng out of hatred but rather because his existence caused instability in her power. Yet Mu Sheng couldn’t die—he had someone he deeply cared for now. Liu Niang, however, had erased Ling Miaomiao’s memories of him, leaving her to live in blissful ignorance.

Ling Miaomiao, realizing her memories were missing, demanded Tao Zi return them, no matter how painful the truth might be. Though trapped in memories, Mu Sheng held onto his belief that Ling Miaomiao wouldn’t forget him. True to his conviction, she soon arrived to save him. Liu Niang declared that as long as her formation remained, her plan wouldn’t fail, even if she were killed.

Ling Miaomiao tried to take the golden pearl from Liu Niang’s hand to save Mu Sheng. Suddenly, the pearl transformed into the demoness’ image. The demoness had given her demon core and life to her child, feeling guilty only towards Liu Niang. She left the pearl to protect her beloved sister one last time. Realizing the truth, Liu Niang had a profound moment of clarity and let go of her resentment, dismantling the formation and releasing Mu Sheng.

Guo Xiu arrived hurriedly after receiving Mu Yao’s message, but no one from the Qintian Bureau came. With the phantom demon set to cocoon itself tonight and Mu Yao gravely injured, they were left with little hope. Alone, she let out a heavy sigh.
