Heartbroken, Zoe let Yuzhen leave the human realm. He didn't want to hold back Yuzhen's future. Unlike in their past two lifetimes, Yuzhen was now surrounded by people who truly cared for him. Maybe, even without Zoe, Yuzhen could still find happiness—and that was enough for him.
Once Lei Wei took Yuzhen away, Zoe sank to the ground. The pain began to surface again, but even more than the physical agony, it was his heart that ached.
He recalled the happy moments he had shared with Yuzhen. Perhaps that's why tears slowly welled up in his eyes.

As feared, Bai Lu was injured and cornered, with Chen Zeng's sword pointed at his neck. The cold look in Chen Zeng's eyes revealed his intent—he meant to end Bai Lu's life.
