Episode 22 recap: Yin Ruoshui and Yuwen Sheng, the waters of fate meet again.

Seeing his own sister tragically fall to her death, Nangong Chao revealed his true malicious nature. He shot an arrow towards Yin Ruoshui, but the Crown Prince immediately shielded her with his body. Though he was struck by the arrow, he gave his all to keep Nangong Chao's men on the other side of the bridge, protecting Yin Ruoshui. Witnessing him covered in blood from the battle, Yin Ruoshui couldn't help but shed tears of distress. The Crown Prince told her that after she healed him at Mount Wuhuang, they would part ways. At that time, he had made up his mind to conquer the Yin Kingdom and return to marry her. However, everything turned out to be a mistake. Today, he was determined to make everyone who harmed Yin Ruoshui pay the price.

The Crown Prince was covered in wounds, and he knew that Yin Ruoshui still wanted to leave him. He simply wanted to ask if she had forgiven him. Yin Ruoshui, now in tears, nodded repeatedly, expressing that she no longer blamed him. Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Yuwen Sheng's lips. Meanwhile, Nangong Chao approached the Crown Prince with a raised knife, ready to strike.

At this critical moment, Lin Cangwu arrived with his troops. He knocked away Nangong Chao's knife with a single sword strike and quickly took control of the situation. Nangong Chao was captured, and his men were completely eradicated. Yin Ruoshui hurriedly went forward to support the fainting Crown Prince. The Emperor issued a decree, and the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, announcing eternal peace and friendship with the Yin Kingdom, pledging an end to war.

Lin Cangwu's merit in saving the Crown Prince's life absolved him of his past deceptions. The Crown Prince kept his promise and allowed Yin Ruoshui to leave the palace. They bid each other farewell, and as expected, Lin Cangwu waited for her under the large tree outside the palace. However, Yin Ruoshui didn't linger but rode away under the gaze of Yuwen Sheng and Lin Cangwu. Three years later, Yin Ruoshui revisited the small town where she had once traveled with Yuwen Sheng. It was there that the two of them had a joyous and unexpected reunion...
