After killing all the rebellious ministers and assisting the young emperor to ascend the throne, Zhai Yue returned to his fiefdom and built a temple. He repaired it every day, fasted on vegetarian food, and completely stayed away from the chaos of the court.
In the third year of Wuning's reign, an urgent letter arrived from the capital, saying that the young emperor was dying. Zhai Yue changed out of his civilian clothes and returned to Beijing.
When the Shen family was judged as a traitor and executed, Su Mu was hidden by the young emperor. Later, he was named a beauty and welcomed into the palace. Unexpectedly, the next day, the imperial guard was regarded as a traitor and was imprisoned in the cold palace. On the day she was released from the palace without charge, she was taken to thank the king for his kindness.
Su Mu knelt on the ground, raised her eyes, and saw the villain who destroyed her family. At that moment, she was chilled to the bone.
Zhai Yue opened the beaded curtain with the hand holding the wine glass, and waved to her with a smile in his stern brows: "Come, let me have a look."

In late spring three years ago, my mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen, was eager to give birth to her grandson. She often took Su Mu to the temple to pray for a son.
It rained heavily that day and the mountain collapsed, blocking the way down the mountain.
Su Mu escaped death by hiding in a cave. Zhai Yue rescued her and scrubbed her without hesitation. The palm scraped her skin inch by inch, like a sharp blade.
"Why don't Mrs. Shen dare to look at me?"
Zhai Yue once wanted her to join the palace as his concubine, but when he returned from the border, she had already married into the Shen family.
He has no interest in getting involved in other people's families, but there is absolutely no reason for others to snatch away the people he likes.
Seeing her eagerness to beg for a child every day, Zhai Yue looked at her eyes as if he wanted to devour her, but he whispered and patiently taught her: "If you want a child, you must be like me."
