All eyes are on Ye Xiao Fan, but Ji Ruo Feng has a different plan. He brings in Yi Wen Jun, the only one who can persuade Ye Ding Zhi. Bai Li Dong Jun wants to join the fight but Yi Wen Jun stops him, urging him not to face the world alone.Yi Wen Jun sighs, lamenting that if she had been more resolute in the past, things might be different. But there are no "ifs" in life.
Ye Xiao Fan approaches Ye Ding Zhi, filled with complex emotions, questioning him about starting the war. Ye Ding Zhi, his eyes vacant, confesses that he has spent his life losing and can't bear the pain.
Ye Xiao Fan, heartbroken, demands he leave and never return. But unexpectedly, Ye Ding Zhi knocks him unconscious.
Xiao Ruo Jin's men close in, determined to kill Ye Ding Zhi. Bai Li Dong Jun, without hesitation, steps forward to protect him.
On the roof of his home, surrounded by the sound of wind chimes, Yi Wen Jun appears. Her arrival softens Ye Ding Zhi's gaze, and they share their feelings. He gently touches her, regretting that if she had waited just a little longer, everything might have been different.
They cherish their reunion, sharing a passionate kiss and embracing in tears. Ye Ding Zhi longs for a simple life, away from the chaos of the world, but his fate is sealed.
Xiao Ruo Jin's pursuers arrive, followed by Bai Li Dong Jun. Ye Ding Zhi reminisces about their past, recalling their dreams of a life filled with wine and swords.
Facing the siege, he embraces his fate, yearning to become a sword immortal, with Bai Li Dong Jun as his wine-loving friend. Surrounded by his brother and lover, the demonic aura surrounding him seems to fade, perhaps this is his best ending.
Ye Ding Zhi decides to let go of everything, dissipating his internal energy, drawing a final curtain on his life.
Bai Li Dong Jun and Yi Wen Jun tried to stop him, but a barrier separated them. Yi Wen Jun screamed, begging Ye Ding Zhi not to leave, but he chose to end his own life, leaving his sins to the past and a hope for the future.
He instructed Bai Li Dong Jun to remember their promise and live well. Yi Wen Jun held Ye Ding Zhi tightly, watching him close his eyes peacefully.
In the eighth year of Mingde, after Ye Ding Zhi's death, the Demon Cult fell into chaos, and Beili returned to its former glory.
Yi Wen Jun, heartbroken and consumed by the pain of losing her love, worried most about her son, An Shi. She wanted to find him, but Bai Li Dong Jun blamed her, saying she was wrong to leave in the first place. He promised to take care of An Shi, but Ye Ding Zhi's voice was gone forever.
Finally, Yi Wen Jun bid farewell at Ye Ding Zhi's grave and set out for the palace. Luo Qing Yang wanted to keep her, but he knew the journey was dangerous.
Faced with the Demon Cult's demand for An Shi, Bai Li Dong Jun stepped forward, vowing to protect him.
Mo Qi Xuan was surprised by Ye Ding Zhi's death, and the two sides reached a peace agreement, giving Tianwai Tian a twelve-year grace period. Bai Li Dong Jun decided to take An Shi away, but An Shi refused to leave until Bai Li Dong Jun promised to take him to find Ye Ding Zhi. Mo Qi Xuan agreed to take him back when he turned seventeen.
Time flew by, and twelve years passed in a blink. Si Kong Chang Feng was tightly controlled by the "queen" at home, while Yue Yao and Bai Li Dong Jun prepared to return to Qian Dong City to welcome their happy future. Bai Li Dong Jun's wish was to marry Yue Yao. They looked at each other and smiled, overflowing with happiness.
