The subsequent season revolves around the story of Prince Ning's daughter, who yearns to marry a gentle, simple, and domesticated man. However, upon tying the knot with a reliable and robust man of the Emperor's choosing, she realizes that he doesn't fit her romanticized notions. Gradually, she discovers his true character, and it dawns on her that her seemingly frail spouse is, in fact, a stalwart individual. As they depart from the palace, the husband warns the formidable Zhao Guangyang that their carefree days are over, and it's time for them to return home. Unfazed, Zhao Guangyang simply nods his head.
