As suspicion spreads, the question remains—will the truth be enough to restore his honor?
A New Ally Emerges

With Wuxian restrained during the investigation, Lù Yě becomes Hei’s temporary guardian and mentor, offering guidance shaped by discipline and experience.
As their mission unfolds, Lù Yě’s past is revealed. Orphaned by war and stripped of her family, she carries deep resentment toward humans. Her journey becomes one of emotional reckoning, as long-held pain collides with unexpected bonds. Through Hei, she begins to confront whether healing and understanding can replace bitterness and loss.

Every character is given room to evolve, allowing audiences to connect more deeply with their struggles, hopes, and growth.
