Summary
Jiang Xuening is a poor student and an unruly young woman. She offers nothing of value to Yan Lin, but dares to accept his regard anyway. Xie Wei is not pleased with their entanglement, and is pleased even less when she comes to him requesting special instruction with the offer of nebulous service in compensation.
She doesn't mean what he gleans from her offer, but his own interpretation is superior. The service he demands from her will force her to part from Yan Lin, sparing his cousin the headache of an unworthy woman and a lifetime of strife. There are other benefits, of course. Actions with only a single benefit aren't worthwhile.

Summary
Yan Lin spends every night at Kunning Palace. When Xie Wei visits to observe what his cousin has been doing there, he hears more than a man venting his lust and hatred. Faced with the reality of Yan Lin’s new imperial ambitions for the sake of fallen empress Jiang Xuening, he decides to take matters into his own hands.
