Synopsis

Several characters are actively plotting against Emperor Xiyao, with one plan involving poisoning her wine at the upcoming Genius Banquet, and another focusing on poisoning her food and elixirs through a manipulated maidservant, Qingzhu. Gu Changge, meanwhile, is present at the banquet and seems aware of the plots, but also has his own agenda to further his goals. Additionally, Bai Ling'er and her companion have arrived at the Demonic Realm, hoping to find someone, possibly Jun Bufan, who might have a connection with Xiyao and plot against Gu Changge.
