However, his will proclaims loyal General Muyong as his successor. Realizing that only the king’s daughter, Fei’er, can unite and bring peace to the kingdom, Muyong tells the court that the king changed his will before death, anointing the princess. Fei’er reluctantly accepts, but leaves for military training before being crowned queen. Wu Ba dispatches his assassins, striking her with a poisonous dart before she is rescued by mountain hermit Duan Lanquan. She recovers under his care and is enlightened by his philosophy of peace.

Fei’er leaves with Muyong to join the Yan forces in battle, laying an ambush for the Zhao king. But Fei’er spares the king’s life, recalling Duan’s words of peace. After her victorious return to the capital, Fei’er decides to abdicate to return to Duan.
