Hao Ren brought Duke Wen Kain, he fought with the Ye General in a similar realm, he lost and died. By the evening, Hu Baihe and her forces also conquered the rest of the strong men and sent the word that the conquest was complete. Han Lingshi was busy working, but then she recalled how she had a surprise for Hao Ren, and told Hao Mei to take over the work. She left the study to find Hao Ren sitting in the rocking chair under the silent dew pavilion with a Qin in his lap. The guards and the servants were all mesmerized by the music. It was a gentle tone, Han Lingshi could sense that Hao Ren must have composed it when he was here alone. She sighed, feeling sad in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. As she stepped closer to the pavilion, the people noticed her, and she waved her hand. They all bowed to her, and left the pavilion. Hao Ren seemed to be lost in playing the music, he did not realize that Han Lingshi had come up. The young lady sat down on a stool by his side, and poured a cup of tea for him. After a few minutes, when Hao Ren stopped playing, he sensed Han Lingshi beside him. He opened his eyes and smiled at her. She was looking back at him. Hao Ren raised his hand and placed it on her cheek. She asked him softly, "What were you thinking about?" Hao Ren replied with a smile, "I was sitting here thinking when you would come over. That reminded me of this song I wrote when I was alone here. I always thought that one day, when I am playing this song, you would be here by the time I finished the song." Han Lingshi placed her palm over his and rubbed her face against the callused skin, and said, "I have always wanted to be with you. However, the elders said that I must learn how to administrate things and think like a ruler, not like a businesswoman. I wish that if I could go back in time, I will never ask you to come here." Hao Ren smiled and shook his head as he replied, "Had it not been for the distance between us, would our feelings be the same? I do not wish to change what happened. Do not worry, we will stay together forever." Han Lingshi looked at him and nodded. She said, "Come, let us go home." Hao Ren nodded, and they walked out holding hands. The people on the way bowed to them in salutation, and the two nodded to them. As they came out of the side gate of the palace, they acted like a normal couple. They changed their clothes to a normal brocade attire. Suddenly, an old lady came up to them holding a basket in her hands. Han Lingshi frowned, she was suspicious, but Hao Ren patted the back of her hand and asked, "Grandma, what can I do for you?" The old lady smiled kindly and said, "Today the farmers had a great harvest and my son sent over a great load of food. I am the only one at home, eating all this is impossible. So I am giving away what I can. You two reminded me of my husband and me when we were young. I know it is not much but please accept it."

In the coming days, Hao Ren intended to slowly turn the city around the palace into the scape that looked like a mixture of the metropolitan and history. However, it was still something that he had yet to consider seriously. While he was thinking what to do, the young man pushed open the door, and just as he stepped inside, Han Lingshi exclaimed, "Happy Birthday!" Hao Ren was taken aback, the lights turned on, and he found the five families gathered in the house. He did not know what to say. He was a star annihilation realm expert, yet he was feeling overwhelmed with the birthday surprise. Han Lingshi came up to him and held his arm as she said, 'You did not celebrate your birthday even once in all these years. Sister Mei told me that you only took the longevity noodles upon her insistence. So this is my surprise for you.' Hao Ren smiled at her and said, 'I would love to unwrap my gift right here and now, but well, god damn sophistication.' Han Lingshi chuckled as they communicated in this secret. Hao Ren thanked everyone, and then he saw Yin and Yang carry a cake from the kitchen. They placed it on the table, and greeted him. Hao Ren patted their heads and asked, "Isn't birthday supposed to start on midnight?" Han Lingshi nodded and said, "It is midnight, the city is awake because there are busy watching the golden fireworks sanctioned by her Majesty to celebrate the harvest festival." Hao Ren smiled and realized what was going on. She must have calculated everything. The young lady cut and served cake to everyone, and the people ate in relish. Michael Nord took out a small box and said, "Sister-in-law told us that you like music. This box contains a special token that was given to Maestro Xilin for the creation of Moonlight Charge Song a few hundred years ago. This token came to my family as a pawn item. Maestro Xilin passed away and this token became a keepsake. I hope you like it." Similar gifts were presented and Hao Ren accepted them all. When the women were serving cake, and food, Agnee came to Hao Ren, and beckoned him to come closer. Hao Ren lifted her in his arms and the little girl smooched his cheek hard. Hao Ren raised his brow with a smile and asked, "Is this my gift?" Agnee nodded with a proud face and said, "You are a good boy. Grandma Tang said boys love to kiss. This is my gift to you, and in return gift, you do not have to get me a beautiful cat, okay? Agnee is a big girl she understands that gifts are for children." Hao Ren was amused by her and then he pecked her cheek hard as he said, "I will get you a kitten soon then." The party had just started, when Han Lingshi received a text on her communicator, and her expression changed. She was enraged.
