To combat the prolonged drought, the emperor appointed Haoyue of the Seven Star Tower as the "Heavenly Envoy" and ordered her to pray for rain. If the rain did not come, she would be sacrificed to appease the people's anger.
When the rain-making ritual fails, Haoyue blames Hua Zhi and has her taken to the palace. The emperor points out that Hua Zhi has been hoarding money and pardons the Hua men forever.
The devastated Hana Zhi returns home, sells off all her possessions, and cries bitterly before passing out. Then she receives an imperial command to "use all her assets to dredge the canal." Hana is in despair.
Gu Yanxi asks Zhi to leave the imperial capital with him, but Hua Zhi is determined to complete the canal construction, even at the cost of his own life, in order to restore the Hua family.
The Hua family, realizing Hua Zhi's intentions, united in a united front to donate all their assets to protect her. Gu Yanci also offered all the assets of the Lingwang Mansion and the support of the Empress Dowager to Hua Zhi, and placed the jade bracelet on her hand again.
It was a fitting.
