The night Shen Zhaoyue was burned to death by her family, the substitute marriage contract was torn into pieces in the blood and fire. When she opened her eyes again, she was eighteen years old again, the marriage certificate was still there, and the flames had not yet started. This time, she no longer cried and begged, but burned the engagement contract in public, throwing out evidence that Pei Yunshang had an affair with the witch temple. Xie Linzhou watched with cold eyes, but when her fingertips were stained with blood, he quietly covered the traces for her. The half jade talisman handed over by Aunt Liu overlapped with the woman in red in her dream - it turned out that her death was a sacrificial ceremony that lasted for hundreds of years. And Lu Sanlang's medicine is both an antidote and a soul-locking chain.
After Shen Zhaoyue tore up the marriage certificate, she used Xie Linzhou's identity as a secret guard to find out that the Shen family and Pei Yunshang had colluded in the "life-changing formation" of the witch temple. Each generation of "substitutes" were sacrificed, just to delay the insidious disease of the Pei family's legitimate daughter. After the jade talisman of Aunt Liu was put together, it was revealed that Shen Zhaoyue's biological mother was the previous 'vessel', and that Lu Sanlang was actually the guardian of the formation. His medicine can both calm and destroy the soul. Xie Linzhou's childhood memories gradually revived - he was sent to the Shen family when he was a child, and witnessed Shen Zhaoyue's mother saving his life in exchange for her life, and he himself was the 'fate guide' of that ceremony. Shen Wanrou set herself on fire as a sacrifice in order to take her life, but was attacked by the Yin spirit. In her madness, she said, "The real sacrifice is your bones and blood connected by blood." Shen Zhaoyue finally understood that only by burning down the family ancestral hall with her own hands could she end reincarnation. And Xie Linzhou actually sealed a wisp of soul into her palm when she raised the fire: "This time, it's me who will die for you." ' A fire broke out in the ancestral hall, black mist rose, and in the distance, the bell of a thousand-year-old temple suddenly rang three times.
