A quiet chapter after the storm. Li Zhi makes his final confession, and you choose whether to read his last will. No bad endings — this is a breathing moment before the final arc. Your choices here affect attribute distribution and trigger a reward scene.
Scene 178 — A confession of enduring love; differential scene with Li Zhi
Scene 178 — Past tense love; differential scene with Li Zhi
Ambition +, Resolve + — The coldest and most powerful answer; recommended for ambition playthrough
Scene 178 — Silence speaks louder than words
Chapter complete — Knowing his final thoughts
Chapter complete — Some things are better left unknown
No. This is the only chapter in the RtE II main line with zero bad endings. All choices are safe. The 'never loved him' option gives the best attribute boost (Ambition +, Resolve +), which helps in the final arc.
After completing the chapter, you unlock 'The Champion Chess Player' — a bonus scene that provides additional story context.
The differential scenes at Scene 177 are mainly narrative — they reflect your relationship with Li Zhi but don't lock or unlock future paths. Attribute gains carry forward.
