Zifu is grateful for his gesture. Due to Qubing’s death, Duan Hong realizes that life is impermanent. Not wanting Liji to miss out on finding her true happiness, he divorces her. While she rejects this idea at first, she agrees and is thankful to Duan Hong for all his help. Zifu lights a lantern to wish for a good match for Duan Hong, as well as to bless Chen Jiao’s recovery. Chen Jiao requests to see Liu Che before her death. (Source: Viu)
