The Heavenly Emperor’s death threw the entire Celestial Court into turmoil. The young and inexperienced crown prince was forced into the highest position, but no one would accept him, so he was sent to undergo a trial in the mortal realm and experience the suffering of humanity.
He entered the trial, only to find himself a piece on its chessboard. Bai Qing looked down at Wuchen as he slowly fell in love with him. Then, just when Wuchen needed him most, Bai Qing plunged a sword into his chest and said without a trace of emotion, “Congratulations, Your Highness. You have passed your trial.”
“Farewell.”

Wuchen said, “I came to find Bai Qing with my heart in my hands.”
