Episode 30 recap: The Governor is a Disciple of the Sacred Blood Sect

In this episode, Gu Xingmi shows no blame towards Gu Qingqiao's deception, instead feeling sorry for her precarious situation. He deeply feels his own powerlessness to clear the obstacles for Gu Qingqiao, but is grateful that Gu Qingqiao has allowed him to witness his daughter's healthy and happy growth.

Ruoyun, frustrated by being confined to the Governor's mansion, secretly changes into a maid's clothes and sneaks out. To her surprise, she stumbles upon the Governor's secret dealings with the leader of the Sacred Blood Sect in the study. The sect leader, injured, has the Governor arrange for condemned prisoners to be fed to him to replenish his powers. The Governor is also ordered to lure Duan Yan to the mansion in order to steal the hidden treasure map.

Shaoyi comes to visit Ruoyun and learns that the Governor is summoning Duan Yan under the guise of discussing Ruoyun and Duan Yu's marriage. To help Ruoyun escape, Shaoyi delays the outsiders, allowing Ruoyun to flee. However, the Governor seizes the opportunity to interrogate Duan Yan about the treasure map's location. When Ruoyun suddenly bursts in, she firmly demands Duan Yan to leave, not wanting to see the Duan family, and the Governor has no choice but to imprison her again.

The Governor informs the sect leader that the treasure map is in Duan Yan's possession, and the only thing needed is to eliminate Duan Yan. The sect leader emphasizes that they must collect the four spirit stones to open the portal before Gu Qingqiao dies, or all their efforts will be in vain. Due to Ruoyun's escape, the Governor severely punishes the maid Yuanhua, who then reveals that the Governor was once a disciple of the Sacred Blood Sect but was expelled for marrying outside the sect.

Ruoyun is seen as a miracle, as she possesses the sacred bloodline of the sect while maintaining ordinary human health.
