Ending Synopsis

A hidden ending that can only be unlocked through the Side Story. Wu Yuanzhao returns to Ganye Temple not as a exile, but as its head — transforming the place of her imprisonment into a center of learning and quiet power.

Ganye Redemption is the game’s most poetic ending. The temple where Wu Yuanzhao was once imprisoned becomes her sanctuary — but on her terms this time. It’s the only ending where power is neither seized nor abandoned, but redefined entirely.
