Episode 16 recap: Cloud Brilliance Design allows Qingque to see Yan Xuncang clearly.
Yan Xuncang cannot bear to see Cloud Brilliance Design kissing Qingque in front of him. After Qingque leaves, he tells Cloud Brilliance Design that his love for her is only due to being affected by the Tongxin Gu. This Gu will cause one person to die within a year and a half, while the other person can live without worries. Cloud Brilliance Design listens to Yan Xuncang's threats to kill him and asks him not to tell Qingque about it, promising to wait for Yan Xuncang to come and kill him.
The military advisor feels extremely guilty. If he had protected Qingque, who pretended to be dead, on that day, the current situation would not have arisen. Opening the coffin was also an act of helplessness for Cloud Brilliance Design because the Mu King was too despicable and had put the treasure map of the hidden silver into the coffin of the Huai King. Cloud Brilliance Design is relieved that Qingque can regain her appearance and return to his side. This identity is the best protection for Qingque, and she has returned to him.
Cloud Brilliance Design does not want Qingque to grieve over his death after a year and a half, nor does he want her to hate him. He devises a plan with Qingcheng to make her impersonate Qingque, forcing Yan Xuncang to reveal the truth about saving Qingque that day, and using Qingque to infiltrate the tiger's den. Cloud Brilliance Design is interrogating Yan Xuncang when suddenly someone rushes in to rescue him. Yan Xuncang is saved, and Qingcheng is taken away. Only in an alley does Yan Xuncang realize that he is holding Qingcheng's hand.
Although Qingque has heard Yan Xuncang's words just now, she believes that at least Yan Xuncang showed some courage and is a flesh-and-blood person, unlike Cloud Brilliance Design, who is merely a son-in-law of the Mu Mansion. Cloud Brilliance Design, in an excited state, asks Qingque what their relationship means, but Qingque considers it merely a transaction. This statement angers Cloud Brilliance Design, who immediately pushes Qingque onto the bed and tries to engage in a transaction with her.
