Chapter 63, Hexagram 64 (Already Crossing) - Upper-Middle Hexagram - Taoist Temple on Fire
Zhao Jinnu never imagined that one day, what she longed for and desired would truly be unattainable.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never failed to get what she wanted.
Little did she know that her mother, who had taught her from a young age to fight for what she wanted, would be the first to oppose her relationship with Xie Chengzhi.
She tried to win over Lady Hou with her mind and pressure Rong Yan with her, but both attempts ultimately failed.

The most surprising thing in the record is that only the gate of Hebai Temple was burned down, while most of the mulberry trees inside the temple were intact!
It was after this incident that the price of mulberry wood soared, and people regarded the Crane and Cypress Temple as an auspicious place.
The master of the temple, who could predict the future without missing a single divination, withdrew from the limelight amidst the clamor of the crowd and gradually faded from the legends of the martial arts world.
