As the princess was being cared for by the Disfigured Guardian, other Ram Star beings descended to Earth. Due to their fragile constitution and the long interstellar journey, combined with landing in a valley filled with toxic miasma, everyone unknowingly succumbed to poisoning. Initially unaware of their plight, panic erupted when they realized their descendants could no longer reproduce. Without heirs to carry on their lineage, extinction loomed over them, and returning home seemed impossible. Despair permeated every Ramian. At this moment, someone suggested that the Ram Royal Family possessed a reverse skill capable of altering fate, but only the royal bloodline could wield it. Everyone fervently hoped to find the princess to save their people.
Changwei Qirunzhou was the first to locate Long-Tailed Su Ruolan. At that time, Su Ruolan was still dazed but agreed to return with him upon hearing his voice, leaving Qi Runzhou pleasantly surprised. How could this seemingly warm yet somewhat distant princess express such deep affection? It left him both honored and bewildered.
Changwei Kang Wanying watched as Qi Runzhou treated the princess with such kindness and felt a surge of fear. She knew that Qi Runzhou loved her because he believed she was the one who saved him during his most vulnerable moment. In reality, it was Su Ruolan who had rescued him without revealing her identity before leaving with a smile. When she turned back to glance at him, Qi Runzhou had awakened and expressed his gratitude, joking that once he achieved success, he would treat her as his wife. To her astonishment, he solemnly agreed, and unexpectedly became a general among the refugees. Now that they were reunited, he intended to fulfill his promise, while she grappled with feelings of insecurity regarding this affection that felt stolen. Yet in such dire circumstances, he truly was an exceptional commander and a dependable partner for life; perhaps it was permissible to be a little selfish.
The disfigured guardian returned to the cave only to find that the princess had vanished. Alarmed, he searched everywhere until he discovered she had returned to the temporary settlement on Ram Planet. However, he realized he could no longer approach his beloved princess.
She had been hidden away by them, and he had no idea where she was. Completely disfigured, his appearance and voice were unrecognizable; he could not prove his identity. After inquiring at the settlement, he learned that the situation was worse than he imagined: no one could bear offspring, and everyone hoped that the princess would selflessly reveal her secret technique to change their fate.
He knew Changwei Qirunzhou had brought back the princess and felt an intense rage. He understood that he was powerless against him and could never reclaim the princess from his grasp. He firmly believed that if only he could meet her again, she would recognize him as her true love.
The Disfigured Guardian approached Longtail Jiang Zhilin of Ram Planet's noble class. Jiang Zhilin was frustrated by his inability to claim rightful authority while being overshadowed by an emerging power like Qi Runzhou. When confronted by the self-recommending Disfigured Guardian, who initially seemed contemptible but offered a way to win the princess's trust at any cost, Jiang Zhilin reluctantly agreed to give it a try—after all, if it failed, there would be nothing left to lose.
Under Jiang Zhilin's arrangement, the Disfigured Guardian finally infiltrated their ranks just as Long-Tailed Su Ruolan had agreed for the third time to be with Changwei Qirunzhou.
Long-Tailed Su Ruolan eventually sensed something unusual about Qi Runzhou and rejected him when he tried to approach her again.
"If you no longer have feelings for me, then do not engage in this act; it insults you even more than it insults me." In truth, Long-Tailed Su Ruolan had always been indifferent; when she saved Qi Runzhou years ago, it hadn't meant much to her. If not for Kang Wanying frequently mentioning that incident around her, she might have completely forgotten about him. Had it not been for his gentle care and concern during her time of need this time around, she wouldn't have felt moved at all. Since they had shared a moment of love once before, perhaps it was best to consider it settled; from now on, they owed each other nothing.
Seeing the cold and unfeeling Long-Tailed Su Ruolan stirred an inexplicable emotion within Changwei Qirunzhou. Why was she so strange? She began things only to end them just as quickly—what gave her that right? After all he'd done for her as a virgin suitor deserving of responsibility in return seemed reasonable enough. In that moment, Qi Runzhou completely forgot his promise to Kang Wanying and even felt heartache when Su Ruolan rejected him. Overwhelmed by this experience, he fled in fear.
Gradually regaining consciousness, Su Ruolan finally realized the abnormality in her body. In addition to her internal injuries, she had been poisoned. This poison caused her to only remember the first person that appeared in her mind, and once this person fully occupied her thoughts and heart, death would not be far behind.
Long-Tailed Su Ruolan thought to herself, since Qi Runzhou would no longer love her and her life was drawing to a close, she might as well contribute something for her people, thus preserving the dignity and authority of the Royal Family.
In a cave, she set up an altar. Long-Tailed Su Ruolan drained all the blood from her body and chanted ancient incantations, exchanging it for the Longtail of all her clan. She split her legs and offered her womb, ensuring that from then on, anyone who encountered their true love would regain their ability to reproduce.
The Disfigured Guardian burst in desperately only to find that his beloved princess was already dead. Until her last breath, he never knew who he truly loved. Driven mad by grief, the guard dripped his Heart's Blood into the formation. He was actually a royal bastard who had been cast out and was a cousin of the princess. Reciting a secret spell, he hoped to leave a trace of memory so that when the princess was reincarnated, she would recognize him as her true love. Satisfied, the guard lay beside Su Ruolan and breathed his last.
Suddenly, Long-Tailed Su Ruolan awoke. It turned out that the royal family could use the Heart's Blood of a beloved one to bring back their loved ones once. This secret had gradually faded away as no one could accomplish it. Now awakened again, the princess understood all the misunderstandings and regretted her lack of insight. She activated another secret spell, hoping to earn a chance for rebirth and reunion two thousand years later for herself and him.
For reasons unknown, as Longtail was severed, a panicked Qi Runzhou rushed into Su Ruolan's secret formation with Jiang Zhilin. During the fight, Kang Wanying also charged in to block Jiang Zhilin's lethal strike aimed at Qi Runzhou. In her dying moments, Kang Wanying finally revealed the secret buried deep within her heart. Shocked, Qi Runzhou realized that he had unknowingly fallen in love with two women, both of whom were now dying for him, filling him with immense sorrow and rage.
Jiang Zhilin was also gravely injured. No one noticed that due to the mingling of too many people's blood, the energy of the formation had become less pure, but no one realized it.
The subsequent history is well-known; to atone for Ramian's faith and not forget their true origins, the clan's totem became a figure with a human face and serpent body representing a man and a woman in opposition. This segment of history eventually transformed into myth within the long river of time.
