Yet through saving each other in dark alleys, exploring abandoned residences, and facing life and death at the sword mound, she sees his true heart.

Using the joyful bickering of rivals as a shell, the story writes about trust, protection, and growth. True listening is not listening to others, but hearing one's inner heart and true feelings, eventually settling their love in Chang'an.
