Story Guide
Episode 1
A legendary warrior named Ye Qingcheng has spent years fighting in the western lands, and her enemies finally corner her — only to learn she carries the Soul-Devouring Poison, a death sentence no one can undo. She refuses to fall, cutting down the provocateurs who came to end her, and her name echoes across the battlefield.
Far away, Qin Ming tells young Yaya they are finally going to see her mother, who has been wounded defending the nation. A grand return banquet is being prepared in Ye Qingcheng's honor at a grand hotel. But the Divine Lord has other plans — he names her West-Guarding King, grants her the dragon-slaying sword, and schedules a formal ceremony in three days. What should be a family reunion is already shadowed by power.
Episode 2
Behind the scenes, the Divine Lord has arranged for Hua Feng, a third-generation disciple of Longhu Mountain, to secretly treat Ye Qingcheng. Hua Feng's medicine has suppressed the poison in her body, though it cannot cure her within three years.
Qin Ming reveals his intentions: after the ceremony, he wants to hold a wedding with Ye Qingcheng — they married years ago, but he still owes her a grand celebration the world will see. He is given a top-tier residence and a black card from the Longyu Bank. Meanwhile, a tip surfaces about the person who poisoned her years ago. Qin Ming and Yaya set off to find her — but Qin Ming has brought a wedding dress, and Yaya is eager to meet her mother.
Episode 3
At the return banquet, guests praise Ye Qingcheng as the first female war god — a warrior who crushed two great enemies, conquered the western court, and now bears the title West-Guarding King. Some whisper she may become the second most powerful figure under the Dragon Emperor.
Yaya spots her mother on stage and says she wants to hug her. But the room turns hostile. Someone calls Yaya a "little bastard" for daring to call the West-Guarding King "mother." Then the crowd recognizes Qin Ming — the man who married Ye Qingcheng five years ago. He says he came to see his own wife, and that their daughter simply wants her mother. Ye Qingcheng's response is ice: she says if not for carrying this child, she would have ended the chaos long ago. Now she is accomplished and titled, while Qin Ming is nothing.
Episode 4
Yaya is frightened by how fierce her mother has become. Qin Ming accuses Ye Qingcheng of using their child as a shield in front of everyone. Liu Shao steps in, reminding Qin Ming that he has done nothing while others fought beside her for years. The crowd piles on.
Someone points out that the Divine Lord intends to marry Ye Qingcheng, which will make her second only to one. Liu Shao tells Qin Ming to stop using the child to trap her — she is no longer the woman he can hold back. Whispers call Qin Ming a useless man who dares covet her. Ye Qingcheng then declares before all the great families: she and Qin Ming are finished. She divorces him.
Episode 5
Qin Ming protests that after all their years as husband and wife, she would abandon him and their daughter so coldly. Ye Qingcheng fires back that years ago he poisoned her — otherwise she would never have endured their marriage. He insists the poisoning was an accident and not his doing, but she tells him to be silent on such an important day.
A grandmother figure coldly rejects Yaya as her granddaughter, saying her daughter will marry the Divine Lord. Ye Qingcheng offers Qin Ming a deal: hand over Yaya, and she will raise the girl to become a future war hero, not a street wanderer. She pressures Yaya to choose. Qin Ming is stunned that she would force their child to pick between her parents.
Episode 6
Qin Ming claims his betrothal gifts are worth a fortune, and the room laughs — until the gifts arrive. A share transfer from the Longyu Group, a western project contract, a top-tier villa, a Maybach, a Tang Bohu painting, and gold. The guests are stunned. Someone asks how he could possibly have so much, and whether he has a connection to the Dragon Emperor himself.
Qin Ming says he was sent by the Dragon Emperor to deliver congratulations — the Divine Lord will marry Ye Qingcheng in five days. But Ye Qingcheng accuses him of lying and calls him more disgusting than ever. Yaya is caught in the middle. Qin Ming finally says that if she won't believe him, he agrees to let Yaya stay with her — but she tells him to take the girl and go.
Episode 7
A grandmother figure sneers that Qin Ming and Yaya will only be a burden now that her daughter is about to marry the Divine Lord. A divorce agreement is presented, and Qin Ming is told to sign and leave.
Qin Ming accuses Ye Qingcheng of abandoning her own child for the sake of the Divine Lord's betrothal gifts, saying she has lost even a mother's basic conscience. She fires back that she earned her title through real battle merit, not through him. Liu Shao tells Qin Ming his status and hers are now worlds apart. The grandmother figure demands he kneel and thank them for the humiliation. Qin Ming refuses, and warns that since Ye Qingcheng is so blind, he no longer needs to cure the Soul-Devouring Poison in her body.
Episode 8
The crowd mocks Qin Ming for claiming he can cure the West-Guarding King's poison — a northern poison only the Divine Lord of the Dragon Hall could possibly neutralize. They laugh at Yaya's earlier claim that Qin Ming is the Divine Lord.
Liu Shao announces that the Liu family has brought Han Guo, the renowned physician and disciple of Hua Feng, to cure Ye Qingcheng. The guests marvel at Han Guo's skill. Han Guo boasts that his Rejuvenation Needle Technique can easily dissolve the poison. But Qin Ming warns that Ye Qingcheng has no external wounds, and that this needle technique will only increase the poison inside her. The room erupts, and Han Guo threatens to throw him out.
Episode 9
Qin Ming tells Yaya he will save her mother one last time, for Yaya's sake — after that, his debt to Ye Qingcheng is cleared. Ye Qingcheng refuses his help and demands to know why he came back after she finally buried the humiliation of years past. She insists she never poisoned him, and that she doesn't know who did.
Unnamed figures blame Qin Ming for her worsening condition and demand an apology. Qin Ming says Hua Feng is already on the way and that Ye Qingcheng still has a chance. The crowd scoffs, insisting Hua Feng is the Divine Lord's disciple and that Qin Ming is delusional for invoking the Divine Lord's name. Someone threatens him with death for disrespecting the Divine Lord — just as Hua Feng's arrival looms.
