Episode 8 recap: Boqiu drank the poisoned wine given by Su Xiaohuan.
Su Xiaohuan arrived at Boqiu's chamber, concealing a dagger in her right hand, intending to kill Boqiu. However, Boqiu noticed Su Xiaohuan and greeted her proactively. Su Xiaohuan quickly put on a friendly attitude and engaged in conversation with Boqiu. But deep down, Su Xiaohuan still saw Boqiu as her enemy and was determined to kill him.
Boqiu intentionally frightened Su Xiaohuan, wanting her to become a part of his body, which caused Su Xiaohuan to drop the dagger she held in her hand. Boqiu did notice the dagger in Su Xiaohuan's hand but didn't specifically mention it. Taking advantage of Boqiu's absence, Su Xiaohuan used the symbols on her hand to investigate the surroundings. However, Boqiu discovered her, and Su Xiaohuan quickly denied her actions. Boqiu teased her a little but didn't pursue further questioning.
In the garden, Su Xiaohuan again attempted to kill Boqiu. However, with a quick move, Boqiu dodged, and Su Xiaohuan's dagger ended up stabbing a beehive instead. As a result, Su Xiaohuan was chased by bees. Failing in her assassination attempt, Su Xiaohuan decided to use poisoned wine to kill Boqiu. She deliberately poisoned the wine and planned to deliver it to Boqiu during mealtime. However, Boqiu insisted that Su Xiaohuan dine with him. Su Xiaohuan wanted to refuse but didn't dare to.
Boqiu deliberately asked Su Xiaohuan to drink the wine, but she quickly refused. However, Boqiu still drank the wine. Boqiu asked Su Xiaohuan if she had poisoned the wine, and she hurriedly denied it. Boqiu had consumed a significant amount of wine and suddenly felt a severe pain in his chest. Su Xiaohuan pretended to be concerned and asked Boqiu what was wrong. Boqiu claimed that he had been poisoned and only Su Xiaohuan's blood could save him, causing Su Xiaohuan to scream, thinking that Boqiu wanted to drink her blood.
However, it turned out that Boqiu was just frightening Su Xiaohuan, and he hadn't actually been poisoned. Su Xiaohuan's plan to poison and murder Boqiu came to an end. At night, Su Xiaohuan attempted to use a kitchen knife to kill Boqiu while he was sleeping, but she was once again discovered. Su Xiaohuan could only explain that she was practicing martial arts. Boqiu even asked her to demonstrate, and Su Xiaohuan ended up wielding the knife towards her own head, causing blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth. Boqiu told Su Xiaohuan to leave, and before she could react, a shadow suddenly attacked her.
