The television drama "A Journey to Love" takes a dramatic turn in its latest episodes. After Yang Ying kills Zheng Qing Yun, she faints, leaving Ren Ru Yi to disguise herself as Princess Huyang to conceal the truth. However, to everyone's surprise, Li Tong Guang appears and publicly declares Ren Ru Yi as his master. Ren Ru Yi manages to deceive others with her acting skills, but Li Tong Guang remains convinced that she is his master, Ren Xin.

The arrival of Li Tong Guang, a rival in love, greatly disturbs Ning Yuan Zhou. He becomes jealous and apprehensive that Li Tong Guang's identity could jeopardize their plans. As a result, Ning Yuan Zhou proposes that Ren Ru Yi leave the group. This suggestion leads to a heated argument between Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou, causing irreparable damage to their relationship. They even contemplate whether they should be together and the path they should take in the future.

Apart from jealousy, their fundamental differences in personality and beliefs contribute to their falling out. However, jealousy transforms Ning Yuan Zhou into a completely different person. He envies the close relationship between Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou and takes advantage of the situation to harm Ning Yuan Zhou. Although he injures his arm in the process, Ning Yuan Zhou falls unconscious due to the Qianji poison administered by Zhang Song. If Ren Ru Yi hadn't arrived with help, Ning Yuan Zhou might have perished.

Moreover, Ning Yuan Zhou can't tolerate Ren Ru Yi accepting Yang Ying as her disciple. He sets a trap on the training ground to target Yang Ying. Li Tong Guang's actions are truly terrifying, but the real horror is yet to come. Eventually, Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou find themselves in the Kingdom of Andu.

Ning Yuan Zhou and Ren Ru Yi each have their own objectives. Ning Yuan Zhou's goal is to rescue the Emperor Wu, while Ren Ru Yi seeks revenge for Empress Zhao Jie. In pursuit of their goals, Ren Ru Yi even sacrifices her relationship with Chu Gui Fei, creating a rift between them. All she wants is to be with Ning Yuan Zhou, and she cares little about her master's love for her.

Looking back at their childhood, Li Tong Guang's love for Ren Ru Yi is indeed twisted. He has an attachment to her, similar to the reverence for a mother, but there is little romantic love between them. However, the final outcome for these three characters is tear-inducing. Li Tong Guang eventually marries Chu Yue and receives her assistance. Ren Ru Yi takes Li Sun hostage, using him as leverage to clear her and Empress Zhao Jie's names. With Li Tong Guang's powerful army and ample support, he ultimately seizes the throne from Li Sun, becoming the new Emperor of Anguo. It is because of Li Tong Guang's ascent to the throne that Ren Ru Yi, Ning Yuan Zhou, and others manage to escape.
