Ch. 181Bibi Dong: Qin He, I Have Seen Through You
In Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu speculated that Qin He was the missing Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and had manipulated Spirit Hall's plan to replace him. They feared Qian Renxue's disguise had helped Qin He build power, and the chapter ended with Qian Renxue asking how they could stop his schemes.
- Qian Daoliu questioned Bibi Dong's theory that Qin He's identity was more complicated than it seemed, while Qian Renxue challenged his belief that Qin He was ordinary.
- Bibi Dong concluded that Qin He was Xue Ye's missing son, Xue Qinghe, and that his apparent youth and strategic skill came from concealing his true age and upbringing.
- Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu considered how Qin He's actions at Notting Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy fit the theory that Xue Ye had supported his son's ambitions.
- Bibi Dong argued that Qin He had seen through Qian Renxue's disguise and had used her to govern Heaven Dou while he secretly gathered forces.
- Qian Renxue, shaken by the possibility that she was helping Qin He claim the empire, asked whether there was any way to break his schemes.
