Season 1 • Episode 24
LatestIn a brutal final clash, Shi An sacrifices himself, Xie Cizhou falls, and love proves irreversible. Years later, Fang Muwan and Xie Ciyuan rule apart — bound by memory, not destiny.
After betrayal drives Huanhua Valley into exile, its heiress Fang Muwan rebuilds her life—only to be drawn back into turmoil when an assassination case exposes the masked leader of Wufeng Pavilion as her former husband, Xie Ciyuan. As tyranny tightens its grip on the realm, old love and deep grudges resurface, forcing her to choose between the fate of a nation and the heart she once tried to forget.
