Episode 18 recap: Zhong Xi Wu took the initiative to confess his feelings to Hua Qian.
Hua Qian looked at her brother's body, wanting to touch it, but was driven away by her mother. Her mother even said that Hua Qian shouldn't be there and blamed her for her brother's death. The father quickly took his wife away, leaving only Hua Qian and him alone. Hua Qian thought her father would harm her, but instead, he placed his hand on her shoulder and said it wasn't her fault. He used to think that he had raised a useless son, but now that his son was gone, he couldn't bear it. Everyone thought Hua Shen was worthless, but he did something commendable.
The father also said that he had always climbed up the ranks, disregarding everything, just to make Hua Shen's future path easier. But now it seemed like it was all in vain. Hua's father mentioned that they only had Hua Qian as their daughter now, and he was willing to listen to her suggestions. Hua Qian embraced her father and cried, wanting to protect everyone in the family. Hua Qian was in a constant state of sadness, thinking about her brother's kindness. She even smelled a familiar scent and felt Hua Shen was by her side, constantly talking about things, unable to spend money without thinking about Hua Shen.
She always felt that Hua Shen was with her. Hua Qian couldn't understand why she survived the arrow, while Hua Shen would surely not die. Hua Qian collapsed on the ground, experiencing the loss of her brother for the second time. No one understood her pain. Hua Rong Zhou and Qian Zhi held Hua Qian's shoulders while she had no strength to stand up.
When Hua Qian woke up again, Hua Shen had already been buried. Hua Qian didn't dare to say goodbye, as she had witnessed her brother's death twice, which had a profound impact on her.
At this moment, Zhong Ye Lan approached and even said he wanted her to attend Hua Shen's funeral, but Hua Qian asked Zhong Ye Lan to leave. Hua Qian also stated that she had no relationship with the Zhong family anymore. Zhong Ye Lan tried to get closer to Hua Qian, but Hua Rong Zhou stopped him. Zhong Ye Lan even hit Hua Rong Zhou. Hua Qian insisted that Zhong Ye Lan leave, and he had no choice but to comply. Zhong Ye Lan said that since Hua Qian insisted on leaving, he would grant her wish. Hua Qian also asked Zhong Ye Lan to pass a message to Mu Yao, indicating that she owed her two lives this time.
Zhong Xi Wu went to inquire about the capture of the assassin from Wang Xian Ling, but Wang Xian Ling said they hadn't caught anyone. Zhong Xi Wu was furious about Hua Shen's murder, and Wang Xian Ling assured him that they had conducted a thorough investigation. Zhong Xi Wu suspected that there might be two opposing forces involved and told Wang Xian Ling not to inform anyone else about this matter.
After finishing her grooming, Hua Qian decided to leave despite Zhong Ye Lan's disturbance. In the evening, Hua Qian came to pay tribute to her brother. She stood in front of his tombstone, finally able to have a heartfelt conversation with him. Cui Zhu was somewhat afraid, but Qian Zhi believed that it was just Hua Shen and there was nothing to fear.
Hua Qian expressed all her feelings to her brother, and it weighed heavily on her heart. Just when she was about to leave, she saw Zhong Xi Wu approaching. The lantern in Hua Qian's hand went out, and Zhong Xi Wu gave her the divorce letter. Hua Qian was thrilled, and Zhong Xi Wu expressed his desire to meet her. Hua Qian thought it was improper and didn't say much.
Hua Qian actually noticed that there were two groups of assassins at the banquet. Zhong Xi Wu didn't answer, but Hua Qian knew that there were many things Zhong Xi Wu wouldn't directly reveal. Zhong Xi Wu also confessed his feelings for Hua Qian. Hua Qian initially thought Zhong Xi Wu had changed the person he liked, but she was surprised to hear Zhong Xi Wu say that the person he had always cared about was Hua Qian herself. Even making clothes was for her.
Now that Hua Qian has regained her freedom, Zhong Xi Wu said that as long as she had a tiny place for him in her heart, he would take care of everything else. Hua Qian took a step back, but Zhong Xi Wu stepped forward and reached out his hand, waiting to see Hua Qian's reaction.
