Cheng Shaoshang once believed that his deep love with Huo Buyi could overcome all hardships, but he was ruthlessly crushed by fate. Huo Buyi finally betrayed her and stayed with her sister, and even had a pair of twins, which became the sharpest knife in Shao Shang's heart. Heartbroken and desperate, she sought death several times, but managed to survive out of gratitude for Empress Xuan's kindness.
After the death of Empress Xuan, Shaoshang no longer had any worries, and completely turned into a black man, abandoning his good deeds and becoming cold. She spent two years establishing a sect outside the capital, bent on revenge, even abducting the children of Huo Buji and her sister, and using the children's lives as a bet, forcing Huo Buji to fight her in a life-or-death showdown.
During the decisive battle, she deliberately abandoned her sword and was stabbed, setting up a fatal situation with her poisonous body, forcing Huo Buyi to kill her with his own hands. On her deathbed, she confessed that she had never wanted to hurt the child, but she only wished that he would be trapped in guilt for the rest of his life and never have peace. She said that she would not regret her love in this life and never see him again in the next life. After Shao Shang died of poisoning, Huo Buyi and the Cheng family felt extremely regretful, but his subordinates stopped him from paying homage to him. The endless guilt became a shackle that he could not break free from throughout his life.
