She mistakenly thinks he was the one who saved her, and from then on, her feelings for him change. Gu Qingshi, another prince, falls in love with Lin Wansu at first sight, but she can’t stand him and never gives him the time of day. Instead, she does whatever Gu Xiuyuan tells her. Lin Wansu uses her family’s influence to help Gu Xiuyuan seize the throne. On the day of their wedding, Gu Xiuyuan massacres her entire family. Lin Wansu watches her loved ones die before her eyes, overwhelmed with grief. At that moment, her younger sister Lin Xiyun steps forward and tells her that she and Gu Xiuyuan planned everything.
