Without her, he really will die.

A much larger conspiracy is quietly taking shape.
To keep her safe, Jiang Wang destroys everything that gives him strength. To save his life, Xu Zhi faces the past. In the end, he takes her hand and guides the knife into his own heart, trading his life for her freedom.
