Event 1: Peizhi Route Decision 1 (Start of The Fake Exile Plan)
Peizhi has her fake crisis and you're asked to help her. You meet her at the border and bring her to the capital. After the first night your wife demands you to leave Peizhi and her women in the capital and go home to Len.
If your wife convinces you, you go on the Yaling Path.
Yaling: Tell me truthfully, with your full belief, that that woman poses no threat to our marriage in all possibilities.
Yaling speaks calmly and with a revealing softness.
MC: Peizhi poses no threat to our marriage in all possibilities. Yaling, I choose you. No matter which other choices are presented to me, I choose you. I'll choose you again and again, and every time. You, are my true love. On that, I have no worries.
MC: But, I see Peizhi's actions are shameless in excess, they're causing you embarrassment and discomfort, and therefore, I agree. We shall separate from her. I have already paid my debt to Peizhi by sheltering her and her army, and tomorrow, we'll be home in Len. Peizhi will find great company here with all the notables at the capital.
You agree that she wants you and you leave her in the capital and return to Len with Yaling.
Peizhi disappointed, quickly resolves her issues in Mireota and returns home.
If you want the Peizhi path choose the option:
You embrace Yaling.
MC: The queen has shown us true friendship, standing beside us when powerful forces sought our ruin. It is only right that we do our part to keep our alliance strong, and avoid risking otherwise.
You notice Yaling's unhappy face. You kiss her forehead gently.
MC: Look at you getting all protective of your husband. I love seeing that fire in you. You understand this burden of nobility better than most - I've always admired how naturally you grasp what must be done, even when it isn't easy.
You tilt her chin up to meet your gaze.
MC: Your strength in these moments, your wisdom... I know you'll face this challenge as you've faced every other - with grace that would make queens envious. I so love that about you Yaling.
You kiss her.
Event 10:
Event 13: Destroyer
Peizhi is in conflict with Cinean. Peizhi brags about how she has you and you chose her. Cinean said something about her abusing her status as a Queen. Peizhi destroys her by laughing at her, essentially telling Cinean in passive aggressive language that Cinean has no chance, not just because of her social status, but as a person. Even if she was a noble ruler she wouldn't come close to competing.
Event 16: The Forgetting Room
You enter a small circular library, with a large couch in the center. Books line the walls. They're journals of R4. A 3 person scribe's desk is in the center of the room, right in front of the couch. They record her memories and thoughts.
In the past R4 had been obsessive about her memories, and tried to keep them in her head as well as in writing. She would detail every moment of her life, and would write down her thoughts and feelings. She would carry her moods and grudges throughout the centuries. This is the wisdom of a thousand year old necromancer, she thought.
Eventually she realized that was unhealthy. She tells you about something particular about her. You know how people generally prefer novels to "show not tell". Well she became so knowledgeable that that became boring to her, she would have the ability to fill in any scenes in her head better than what was written on the page. She started to prefer "tell not show" instead. It was just a silly example of a lost innocence.
Her rituals became less about preservation and more about youth.
That way she would
She talks to you in a flattering way she mentally notes how easy it is to manipulate you with flattery.
Event 20: Sica
She admits she's the one who destroyed Sica, and tells you about the True Empress C2, and where she's hiding. She helps you find her and you kill C2 to reach the true ending.

- You complete her path with a full denouement.
- You decide that she is the dangerous necromancer who destroyed sica, and you want revenge. You're not interested in sharing power with another necromancer.
- You're happy with her and want to continue a relationship. She's satisfied with you and lets you get the "world conquest and dynasty building" thing out of your system, she has forever to wait, eventually your wife is going to die and you'll come around to her. She has no need to rush.
- You fully take her side in her conflicts with the other women and you elevate her to be your empress.
- Your wife is given a role of an Administrator instead of a queen and Zhenzhen starts a religion based on you.
