The hero who had been sent to search for her soon discovered Tsurai. Desperate to flee, she summoned her mystical powers, shaping the smoke from her censer into foxes and dragons that raced before them as she ran. Yet after a relentless chase, the hero finally caught her, and through tears she revealed the reason for her disappearance. The smoke had chosen the seventh prince, the one she loved, as the next heir to the throne. The prince returned her love, and through their shared time crafting incense, their bond had grown deep and unbreakable. If he were to ascend to the throne, someone else would become his bride. Torn between her sacred duty as a shrine maiden and her heart, Tsurai had acted on impulse and fled. Upon hearing her tale, the king recognized the strength of their bond, affirmed the seventh prince as the rightful heir according to the divination, and named Tsurai his true consort. With her as one of the kingdom's guiding lights, Jinwen was blessed by the celestial, and an era of peace was promised.
