Tian Yu slept for a long time. When she woke up, it was already broad daylight. Startled, she worried about being late. After confirming that Chen Chong hadn't arrived yet, she quickly tidied herself up. She was quite satisfied with the red wedding dress Chen Chong had chosen; the light red gauze wasn't too heavy and allowed for easy movement. She did some simple makeup and styled her hair with hairpins. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Tian Yu thought this was probably the best she had ever looked since arriving here. Usually, she only dressed up briefly for convenience and hadn't bothered with elaborate makeup. She had almost forgotten that modern makeup techniques were quite advanced.

After covering her head with her veil, Tian Yu sat upright in the room, waiting for Chen Chong to arrive. Nervously clutching the red handkerchief in her hand, she wondered what she should do and what she should say if he came. Chen Chong had said he wanted to get married at his place, and he had been preparing for three days; she wondered how well he was doing. Her thoughts wandered. Noon passed, but Chen Chong still hadn't appeared. Tian Yu grew increasingly worried and restless. She removed her veil and paced back and forth in the room, but Chen Chong still hadn't appeared. She first removed the hairpins and ornaments from her hair, feeling much more relaxed. A while later, Chen Chong still hadn't come. Tian Yu wondered if something had happened to him, or if he had fallen asleep. She quickly tied her hair up with a red string and hairpin, then ran out of the courtyard towards Chen Chong's house.

Because of the rain a few days ago, the road was a bit difficult to walk on, and Tian Yu's red dress was covered in mud, but Tian Yu didn't care and kept running while holding up her dress. Finally, she arrived at Chen Chong's house. Seeing the big red "double happiness" character on the door, Tian Yu smiled, ran to the door, and pounded on it, calling out, "Chen Chong, Chen Chong, are you home?"

The door wasn't bolted, and Tian Yu pushed it open. Red cloths hung all over the porch. Tian Yu happily ran inside. Peanuts, dates, longans, chestnuts, and wine were laid out in the room, and bright red "double happiness" decorations were pasted on the windows. Tian Yu was still happy, thinking how thoughtful Chen Chong had been, keeping the house so clean. He must not have woken up yet, or something had delayed him. But Tian Yu searched everywhere and couldn't find Chen Chong. She searched several rooms, only finding a wedding dress similar to hers on the bed. Tian Yu squatted by the bed, puzzled. Where had Chen Chong gone? He shouldn't have forgotten to prepare everything. Or had he gone hunting in the mountains again? Why hadn't he returned? Had he encountered danger?

Thinking of this, Tian Yu ran outside again, wanting to go up the mountain to look for it, but she was stopped at the door. Turning around, she saw that it was Zhao Moyan. Tian Yu was even more puzzled and asked, "What are you doing here? Where is Tangyuan?"

"Tangyuan is fine, you don't need to worry," Zhao Moyan said.

"Then what are you doing here? Are you following me?!" Tian Yu asked, noticing the mud on Zhao Moyan's shoes.

“Chen Chong has already left, you don’t need to look for him anymore,” Zhao Moyan said directly, without trying to hide anything.

When Tian Yu heard him say that, her mind went blank, and she shook her head frantically in disbelief, saying, "Impossible! He said he would come to marry me today. He wouldn't lie to me. You're talking nonsense!"

"Tian Yu, calm down. I didn't lie to you. He really left!" Zhao Moyan stepped forward and reached out to comfort Tian Yu.

"It was you! You were the one who drove him away! Wasn't it?!" Tian Yu took a step back, pointed at Zhao Moyan, and questioned him loudly.

“No one stopped him, he wanted to leave on his own.” Zhao Moyan wanted to step forward to explain, but Tian Yu kept backing away, unwilling to let him get close. He had been by her side since last night, watching her put on makeup in the room and waiting for Chen Chong, watching her run all the way here. He suddenly felt a little sorry for her. After all, she was the mother of his child, and he didn’t want to see her like this.

"Impossible! He won't leave, he won't leave here. We made a promise, something must have happened. I'm going to find him and bring him back." Tian Yu felt this was the first time she had lost her mind like this. She couldn't believe that her Brother Chen would abandon her. They had talked, and after so much time together, she had long considered him family. How could he possibly abandon her? Tian Yu cried as she finished speaking and turned to run to find Chen Chong. She believed that Chen Chong would not leave without a reason.

Zhao Moyan grabbed her, but Tian Yu angrily pushed him away and shouted, "Why did you come back?! Why?! I was finally about to have my own home, and I wouldn't have to be all alone anymore, but it's all because of you!"

Tian Yu roared and drew Zhao Moyan's sword from his waist, pointing it at him. She hysterically shouted, "Don't follow me! It's all because of you! That's why Brother Chen left. Get away! Don't follow me!"

Seeing Tian Yu like this, Zhao Moyan felt a pang of sympathy, but he was also surprised that she would point a sword at him, especially for the sake of a man. He chose to remain silent and not step forward, but his expression showed a hint of hurt and helplessness.

Seeing Zhao Moyan standing still, Tian Yu dropped her sword and ran towards the woods, crying as she ran. She wondered what had happened between them that made them unhappy. Otherwise, why would Chen Chong leave so suddenly without telling her anything? She couldn't understand what was going on. She wandered around the woods for a long time, calling out to Chen Chong, hoping he would hear her and come back, but she couldn't find him anywhere. She tripped over a tree branch and lay on the ground crying for a long time.

Why is this happening? They made a promise, why did they abandon her? She was abandoned by her parents in her early years, and now she's finally getting married, having given up everything, but the groom is nowhere to be found. Is she going to be abandoned again? Why? Why is she always the one who gets abandoned? At this moment, she fell into despair.

Tian Yu, lying on the ground crying, was a disheveled mess. After crying for a long time, she slowly got up and looked at her wedding dress, which had been so beautiful that morning, now covered in mud. Her hair was completely disheveled, with only a red ribbon holding it up and hanging down her back. But Tian Yu didn't care about that. She wiped away her tears and continued searching. After spending so many days together, she believed that Chen Chong wouldn't abandon her for no reason. She had to find him and ask him herself.

Zhao Moyan's face remained cold, revealing no hint of his thoughts. He bent down, picked up the sword from the ground, and carefully sheathed it. He followed at a distance, careful not to be noticed by Tian Yu. Seeing her lying on the ground crying, he wanted to comfort her several times, but helplessly stopped and watched from afar. Tian Yu wandered through the woods for a long time, finally following the sound of water to the pond where they had caught fish before. Standing by the water's edge, looking at her reflection, she remembered that she had come here because Xiao Tian had fallen into the water. She had thought she could live a peaceful life in this little mountain valley, but how had things turned out like this? Would falling into the water again allow her to go back?

Lost in thought, Tian Yu plunged into the water. As she sank to the bottom, images of everything she had experienced since arriving in this world flashed through her mind. She tried to find out why Chen Chong had left, and finally, the image lingered on the jade pendant and Li Xingyun's subtle expression when they first saw it. Tian Yu seemed to have found the reason and opened her eyes, touching the jade pendant on her chest. She saw Zhao Moyan swimming towards her.
