The Wolf

In Kuizhou City, rumours swirl that a half wolf-half human creature is lurking in the nearby area. The son of the city's leader is forced to inspect the mountain after being goaded to do so by his half-sister.

Wolf Boy is seen escaping from the general's room after saving the wolf cub. However, when the general is found dead, orders to hunt Wolf Boy down are issued.

Ma Ying saves the princess because he is indebted to her family. Meanwhile, Ma Jun captures Wolf Boy after stealing Zhai Xing's bell to lure him out.

Gu Qing Ping gets acquainted with Zhai Xing and leaves an impression on her with his maturity and insights. However, Zhao Xing is unable to forget Wolf Boy and sets off to find someone with an extensive knowledge of wolves.

Gu Qing Ping suspects Zhai Xing is still alive as her bronze bell is not found on any of the burnt corpses. Meanwhile, emperor Chu Kui sacrifices general Ma Ying to push the Ma army to fight the Jin state.

Prince Bo and Zhai Xing arrive at the capital just in time before Feng Cheng launches an attack. Zhai Xing shows him and his sister the evidence that implicates Gu Ping Qing and the Jin state.

Yang Hou wants to investigate prince Chu You Gui's bloodline as the prince's mother was rumoured to have had a relationship with a Bozhou army cook before marrying emperor Chu Kui.

Prime minister Jing Xiang arrives at Bo Manor to take Lin Guang away after accusing him of being an assassin. Before being taken away, Lin Guang willingly signs a confession.

Zhai Xing believes that Lin Guang was not an assassin and that he sacrificed himself to protect someone. Later, prince Bo listens to Zhai Xing's story of her relationship with Wolf Boy and how she tried to protect him.

The second prince tells Zhai Xing that they should keep her betrothal to prince Bo a secret so as not to antagonize princess Bao Na.

Zhai Xing starts to feel jealous when prince Bo agrees to teach princess Bao Na calligraphy. Meanwhile, the second prince and Jing Xiang try to hire a mercenary to do their bidding.

After princess Bao Na angrily leaves the city, prince Bo places the perfumed sachet in Zhai Xing's hand as she lays asleep. On her way back to Khitan, princess Bao Na is kidnapped by Ji Chong and some bandits.

Ji Chong tells Zhai Xing that he is supposed to deliver princess Bao Na to the person who hired him the following day. Zhai Xing also agrees to repay him for saving her life.

After prince Bo wakes up from a nightmare of him battling Zhai Xing and killing her at Emperor Chu Kui's behest, he decides he needs to push Zhai Xing away from him in order to keep her safe.

Prince Bo purposely humiliates Zhai Xing in public by criticising her dancing skills. The suitors whom she had turned down previously join prince Bo in humiliating her.

Ji Chong catches up with Zhai Xing and advises her to forget prince Bo. The next day, prince Bo departs to meet Princess Bao Na, while Zhai Xing wakes up to find Ji Chong missing from the inn.

Princess Bao Na brings the fourth prince before prince Bo, but he befriends Ji Chong and Zhai Xing instead as he thinks they share the same antagonism towards his third brother.

Prince Bo takes up an archery challenge at a stall to win a butterfly brooch for Zhai Xing. However, Ji Chong appears and challenges him to a rapidly escalating contest.

Prince Bo rushes to meet Zhai Xing at the cliff, where she insists he admit that he is Wolf Boy. Ji Chong witnesses their reunion and is disappointed. He drags Zhai Xing away when she returns to Bo Manor.

Zhai Xing and prince Bo are stopped by chief Li, who has been demoted to a guard at the city entrance. Later, prince Bo meets up with the emperor and is honest about his relationship with Zhai Xing.

The woman asked to treat Zhai Xing tries to plant doubts in Zhai Xing's mind that prince Bo is no longer the warm-hearted Wolf Boy that she used to know. Meanwhile, prince Bo goes to Kuizhou to carry out his orders.

Prince Bo tells his assistants that should Zhai Xing really have been poisoned by the emperor, he will give up his position as leader of the Night Fury guards to get her treated.

Prince Bo doesn't report Yao Ji to the emperor as she threatens to reveal his failure to kill Mr Fang and Hong'er if he does so. Meanwhile, Ji Chong is at Kuizhou and learns about Mr Fang's death.

Prince Bo finds out from Mo Xiao that Wen Yan has taken the blame to save him. Meanwhile, Yao Ji's assistant visits her in her cell and gets orders to monitor prince Bo and Zhai Xing.

Prince Bo tries to be cold towards Zhai Xing before she leaves for the frontlines. Meanwhile, prince Li Qu Ji explains to Ji Chong that they had tried to lure general Ma Ying over to their side.
