Episode 10 recap: Shao Yiqing was kidnapped by the Mantra sect.
Duan Yu went into the Divine Palace and encountered a dark figure. The figure claimed to have the seal of the Mansion Master of the Chang Qing Duan family and wanted to meet the Palace Master, but the figure suddenly attacked Duan Yu without a word, causing Duan Yu to faint.Shao Yi wanted to get revenge on Ruo Yun for the book narrator slandering her, so he secretly prepared a trap in the private room at Qingfeng Tower to embarrass her. However, Gu Qingqiao noticed Shao Yi's strange behavior, found Xing Si, and asked what day it was. Xing Si told her it was Shao Yi's birthday. Gu Qingqiao went to the private room ahead of time and helped decorate for his birthday. When Shao Yi entered the trap, he ended up being the one tricked. When he came downstairs, everyone was there with a birthday cake, singing happy birthday to him. Gu Qingqiao also used the trap Shao Yi set up to greatly increase the customer traffic at Qingfeng Tower.
When Duan Yu woke up, an old man told him that the Reverse Heaven Star had appeared, and asked if there was a way to avoid its impact on the Duan family. The old man said Duan Yu could use his obsession to look into the illusory realm. Duan Yu saw Gu Qingqiao trying to kill Xing Si, so he hurried to stop her. They accidentally fell off a cliff, but Duan Yu caught Gu Qingqiao. However, Gu Qingqiao chose to let go of Duan Yu's hand and fell to her death. Duan Yu woke up, unsure if he had truly been to the Divine Palace or if it was all an illusion.
Shao Yi's plot had failed, so he prepared a new scheme to target Gu Qingqiao. Yang Chunfeng noticed Qingfeng Tower's business was booming and suspected Gu Qingqiao had offended someone. Shao Yi sent a letter to the prefect, Du, saying he had been kidnapped by Gu Qingqiao to get back at Ruo Yun.
However, when Shao Yi waited for the kidnappers, Gu Qingqiao appeared instead, having caught the real kidnappers with Xing Si's help. They talked it out, and Shao Yi decided he would no longer trouble Gu Qingqiao.
On their way back, the two people encountered a group of bandits again. Shao Yi thought they were the same group he had arranged, and told them not to act anymore. Gu Qingqiao told him that the group he had arranged had already been arrested by the judicial officer. The two were then captured. It turned out that this group was from the Mandao sect, and they were looking for Gu Qingqiao to retrieve a holy relic.
Yang Chunfeng went to the magistrate Du and told him that Gu Qingqiao was colluding with the Mandao sect, and they had captured Shao Yi. The Mandao sect originally wanted to capture Gu Qingqiao, but they thought Shao Yi was a burden and were planning to kill him. Shao Yi said he was Duan Yan's son, so they did not immediately kill him.
Duan Yan, after coming out of seclusion, was very angry that Shao Yi was captured by the Mandao sect, and asked the judicial officer to invite Magistrate Du over to discuss it in detail. Ruo Yun blamed herself, thinking that if it wasn't for her desire for revenge, Shao Yi wouldn't have been captured. The judicial officer comforted her, saying that Shao Yi would definitely be fine.
Gu Qingqiao and Shao Yi were captured and taken to a cave. Gu Qingqiao told Shao Yi that these people were probably looking for the holy relic, but she had already given it to Duan Yu and it was not on her. Shao Yi said that since they couldn't find the item, they probably wouldn't easily kill us. Gu Qingqiao said they could take advantage of this to plan their escape.
