《墨雨云间》沈玉容谋反失败，跳下城楼当场死亡。
Xiao Heng found himself trapped alone beneath the city tower. Shen Yurong stood on the city wall, commanding archers to prepare, mocking Xiao Heng for being abandoned by others. Suddenly, Xue Fangfei rode in on horseback, ready to stand with Xiao Heng and die for Dayan. She allowed Shen Yurong to kill her again if needed. Shen Yurong couldn't comprehend this, harboring deep hatred for the oppression by the powerful over him and Xue Fangfei. He believed it wasn't worth dying for Dayan.
At that moment, Situ Jiuyue arrived with reinforcements from Dazhao. Shen Yurong ordered Yang Qing to attack with a fish token, commanding absolute obedience under threat of death. Shen Yurong thought he could control the situation, provoking infighting between the Dragon Martial Army and the allies. Xue Fangfei, ruthless, shot two arrows as Shen Yurong reached for the token, injuring his hand. Situ Jiuyue swiftly intervened, taking the dropped token and returning it to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng and Xue Fangfei parted temporarily, Xiao Heng leading the Dragon Martial Army back to seek revenge against Cheng Wang. Shen Yurong, in pain, pulled out the arrow from his hand. Xue Fangfei approached him, urging him to accept Dayan's legal sanctions. Shen Yurong tried to hold her back, regretting his missteps and wishing he hadn't become the top scholar, longing for a peaceful life with Xue Fangfei in Huai Xiang.
As Xue Fangfei turned away, looking at the moon, she wished for Shen Yurong to be born wealthy and be a genuinely good person in his next life. After she left, Shen Yurong stood on the city tower, playing the melody they once shared, then leapt down with a loud thud. Xue Fangfei paused momentarily but continued forward without looking back. Shen Yurong watched her fading silhouette, his vision blurred with tears.
