Laura gets a second life—and wastes no time breaking free from Ethan’s grasp. To protect Ivy and expose the hidden scheme, she fights back with everything she has. Arthur stands with her, and together they build a new future as she becomes the family matriarch. As tea is poured and jade gifts are exchanged, fragments of their past lives return. Then the Hundred-Flower Banquet turns into a reckoning, Ethan is punished, and Laura finally steps into the bliss she earned.
