This chapter opens with a token from the blood-thrust tower. It's the reason why the people from the tower broke into the house of the duke of Qingxue. The lady of the tower tells the lady that she's come home to find out what's going on in the house. She says that she heard that there's a new emperor in the kingdom and that lanterns and decorations are all over the place. She asks the lady if anything looks good on her, and the lady tells her that it does. She tells her sister that if she ever wrongs her in any way, she must love her more, and that she can't ever love her enough. The woman tells her to remember to summon her if she needs her help, and she leaves.
