The Yamei Palace has become a much less lonely place-despite Jusetsu's predecessor's warnings-but the Raven Consort still cannot truly escape the emptiness in her heart. There's no shortage of visitors who come in the evenings to ask for her help, and tonight is no exception. A mystery within the Hakkaku Palace leads Jusetsu to come across the Eight True Teachings, a religion threatening faith in Uren Niangniang. Meanwhile, Koshun discovers a glimmer of hope that could free Jusetsu from the Raven once and for all. Will the two of them continue to work together?
