Episode 17 recap: Bao Rourou discovered mermaid blood.
Bao Rourou said that if she couldn't find her father, she wouldn't marry anyone. Gu Xinghe asked if they could be together forever if he found a way to become immortal. Bao Rourou was surprised to find mermaid blood. Gu Xinghe asked where the secret room was, and the person said that the backyard well was the entrance to the secret room.
Bao Rourou and Gu Xinghe searched for clues here. Bao Rourou felt useless because she hadn't found her father after so long. Gu Xinghe said he would help Bao Rourou. Bao Rourou said that if she couldn't find her father, she wouldn't marry anyone. Gu Xinghe couldn't wait for the longevity of the mermaids. He said that if he found a way to become immortal, they could be together forever.
Bao Rourou was moved by his words. Gu Xinghe found a letter here. The Emperor had ordered the Crown Prince and Feng Xuanzi to capture the mermaids at the Southern Lake. They did capture Bao Rourou's father. It was originally agreed that the Crown Prince would get the method of immortality, and Feng Xuanzi would get the mermaids. But now Feng Xuanzi had ulterior motives. Bao Rourou and Gu Xinghe secretly went to Feng Xuanzi and Bao Rourou was surprised to find mermaid blood there.
Gu Xinghe asked where the secret room was, and the person said that the dried well in the backyard was the entrance to the secret room. Gu Xinghe felt that they needed to plan carefully now, but Lu Qing'er suggested that they should just directly snatch the person back. Bao Rourou thought that if she could claim to know the method of immortality, she might be able to meet the Emperor and sow discord between the Crown Prince and Feng Xuanzi.
Yi Qifeng found it feasible, and the Empress had been suffering from a cough. If Bao Rourou could cure the Empress, it would surely make the Emperor believe them. Gu Xinghe reminded Bao Rourou to be careful and ensure her safety.
