Episode 5 recap: Gu Qingqiao and Duan Yu prayed under a tree.
Gu Qingqiao dreamed of her modern-day parents and the warm moments she had with them while in a coma. When she woke up, she felt sad that she hadn't returned home and that no one had helped her change her mother's gas tank. Duan Yu failed to catch the Right Protector, and he felt that the Right Protector could come and go freely at Qingfeng Pavilion, so he must be a skilled martial artist. Xing Si told Duan Yu that this matter was also related to Miss Gu, which was a bit strange. Then Duan Yu asked Duan Si to lead the Black Armor Guards to protect Gu Qingqiao at the Gu Manor. Gu Qingqiao was pleased to see dozens of Black Armor Guards protecting her, and she asked Xing Si about the relationship between Ruo Yun and Duan Yu. Xing Si said he was not sure, but the young master's heart only belonged to Gu Qingqiao, which made Gu Qingqiao happily send Xing Si a silver card.
Ruo Yun said the Gourmet Festival was something Gu Qingqiao helped her with, so she wanted to go and thank her. Shao Yi heard about it and also wanted to go, as he had heard that Gu Qingqiao was determined to marry Duan Yu, and he wanted to see what kind of person she was. Gu Qingqiao was surprised to see Shao Yi, as she realized he was Duan Yu's nephew and looked just like the Shao Yi from the modern era.
Ruo Yun, Shao Yi, and Gu Qingqiao chatted happily. Ruo Yun said she grew up with Duan Yu, Shao Yi, and Xing Si, but Duan Yu became more and more indifferent to her as he grew up, and he only saw her as a sister. Shao Yi asked Gu Qingqiao why she was still asking so many questions if she was going to marry Duan Yu, and Gu Qingqiao said Duan Yu had never said he wanted to marry her, and it was all arranged by Gu Xingyu. Shao Yi and Ruo Yun both said Duan Yu was a scumbag.
Gu Qingqiao went out every day with the Black Armor Guards closely following her. She knew they were not only protecting her but also monitoring her. She asked Duan Yu to stop sending the guards to follow her, and Duan Yu ordered them to leave, accompanying her himself instead.
Grandma Xu said their astrological signs were incompatible and couldn't be reconciled, so she wanted to return their astrological readings and have them find someone else. Grandma Xu said that ever since she saw their astrological readings, she had been particularly unlucky, and that their signs together were inauspicious, but separating them would be even worse.
Gu Qingqiao was an early-deceased star, while Duan Yu was a killing god of the seven killings. They were advised to separate early before involving others. Duan Yu said he never believed in superstitions, and matching the eight characters was just a formality.
Gu Qingqiao asked Xu Mama if there was any way to resolve this. Xu Mama reluctantly told them to try the Thinking-of-You Tree. At the tree, they saw many red wishing ribbons. Gu Qingqiao used her hairpin to carve their wishes on a wooden plaque, which Dong Xi put in a box and buried under the tree, saying the words on the hanging ribbons would fade over time.
Gu Qingqiao and Duan Yu flew kites together, competing against each other. Duan Yu broke Gu Qingqiao's kite string, causing her kite to fly away. When Gu Qingqiao rushed to catch the string, she accidentally fell off a cliff, but Duan Yu bravely jumped down to catch her.
At night during a thunderstorm, Xing Shi dug up the buried wooden plaques, saying Duan Yu told him to do it. Duan Yu denied this, saying he just wanted to see what wish Gu Qingqiao had made, which was for an early birth of a noble child. Duan Yu hastily had Xing Shi rebury the box.
Xing Shi was then ordered to take a new kite, identical to the one Gu Qingqiao had lost, to the Gu Mansion and give it to Miss Gu, who happily asked him to also bring some pastries back for the young master.
