Raymond is content with staying silently by her side and refuses to accept a relationship with the Chancellor’s daughter.
Raymond is recalled to the palace by the Emperor, who thinks the Crown Prince lacks good character to take the throne. The Crown Prince, knowing that Emperor wants to appoint a new successor, colludes with the Chancellor to interfere with Raymond at every turn. Meanwhile, the competition on the Chang’an dancing stage is heating up. Michelle defeats her rivals in the imperial dance competition, winning the title of imperial courtesan.

Li Yi’s studying finally pays off when he passes the imperial exams. He wants to marry Michelle, but is opposed by the Chancellor. Fortunately, Raymond intervenes and Li Yi is reunited with Michelle at last. Raymond then moves to the mountains so that his most beloved can lead a blissful life.
