Li Lan is in the dark wilderness. She climbs to the top of the jungle canopy in an attempt to determine her location, and she can see the city of Malacca far off on the horizon. She rides off on Chendana in that direction, and as her journey progresses, she notices that the clothes on her spirit form, which reflect those that her actual body is dressed in, have begun to change.

Li Lan decides to stop and see Tian Bai. He is visited by an older co-worker, who congratulates Tian Bai on his upcoming nuptials. Li Lan is disappointed upon hearing this, assuming that Tian Bai has finally agreed to marry the daughter of the Quah family. After the other man departs, Li Lan lingers, willing Tian Bai to go to sleep. When he finally drifts off, Li Lan uses the thread she still carries to enter his dream.

In Tian Bai’s dream, she finds him anxiously winding many clocks. He bids her to help him, but Li Lan stops him so that she can talk to him about his marriage and other events that have transpired. Tian Bai takes Li Lan into his arms and leans in to kiss her.
