Episode 14 recap: General Without Intentions (Part 2).
In order to become the general's wife, Xier didn't hesitate to harm her own sister, causing the general to become furious. Xier believed that she and the general shared a deep connection, but she soon realized that the general only took her in out of pity. Knowing the truth, Xier's mental state began to deteriorate. Upon hearing the depth of the general's feelings for Rongrong, Xier grew resentful. Taking advantage of the general's absence, she poisoned and killed Rongrong. The general, unaware of Xier's actions, returned to find the two of them affectionate and loving. He was shocked when he attended his wife's funeral. Xier, without any remorse, continued to act innocent in front of the general, to the point where even the servants mistook her for his new wife.
Xier always believed that the general loved her, and the general regretted not handling the situation properly, which caused Rongrong's heartbreak. However, Xier never expected that the general would sacrifice himself for her sister's sake. Qianxia and Xiao Qi were curious and thought that Xier had truly poisoned Rongrong. However, they were surprised to learn that Rongrong had already been in poor health and didn't have much time left to live. She was certain of her own death and believed that the general would follow her, leaving Xier alone and lonely.
Xier had always viewed Rongrong as a lowly person who had nothing good about her. However, their lives turned out to be completely different. Xier's husband's family fell into decline, and the two of them separated along the way. The elder sister, whom Xier had belittled and looked down upon, became the respected general's wife. How could Xier not be jealous? How could she not hate her? Rongrong was also certain of the general's feelings for her and chose to end her life in this tragic way to punish Xier.
