The Sorceress’s Challenge

The Sorceress's Challenge

Yue challenged Li Mei to a series of trials to prove her worthiness as a guardian of the realm. Each trial was more difficult than the last, forcing Li Mei to confront her fears, insecurities, and her past.

During the first trial, Li Mei faced a shadow of her former self—a manifestation of her doubts and regrets. In this emotionally charged battle, she struggled but ultimately emerged victorious by embracing her journey and the love she shared with Zhang Wei.

Afterward, she returned to Zhang Wei, who enveloped her in his arms. "I knew you could do it. You're stronger than you realize."

"I couldn't have done it without you," she replied, her heart full. Their embrace lingered, and as they pulled away, Zhang Wei brushed his lips against her forehead, sealing the moment with tenderness.
