Her heart couldn't help but ripple. She never expected that the person who had done the task had never consummated the marriage with Jiang Yao in these years, and even went to great lengths to obtain this divorce certificate.
She slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the familiar scenery of the general's mansion outside the window, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
After coming back, she hesitated for a moment and thought that maybe she could stay and continue to spend the rest of her life in this general's mansion.
But then she thought, what difference does that make from her previous life? She longed for the vast expanse of beautiful land and a free life, not being confined in this golden cage.
The next morning, Tao Qingyue found Jiang Yao with the divorce letter.
Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if she had already made all the preparations. "Jiang Yao, I've decided. I want to leave here and pursue the life I truly desire." As she spoke, she handed the divorce papers to Jiang Yao.

"You are a good general. Dali is blessed to have you!" Her words were sincere and warm, as if they were the best affirmation and blessing to Jiang Yao.
"Is this a disguised admission?" Jiang Yao asked again.
Tao Qingyue nodded gently, "I guess so! We'll meet again in the future, see you later!"
After saying this, she turned around and leaped down from the tower, landing lightly on the horse's back. With the sound of crisp horse hooves, she galloped away, leaving only a graceful figure behind.
Jiang Yao stood there, watching Tao Qingyue leave. He felt a mixture of loss and relief. He knew Tao Qingyue belonged to that vast world. And he, too, would continue to protect this land, waiting for his destiny and mission.
