Episode 15 recap: The Story of the Western Xia Princess (Part 1).
Xiao Qi entrusted the task of receiving the Western Xia princess to Qianxia. Qianxia was somewhat surprised, and the princess inquired about the story of the woman in the red dress. Qianxia brought her to the Illusion Pavilion, where, with the help of the woman in the red dress, she transferred everything onto a Forget-Me-Not butterfly. Qianxia slept for a long time, and Xiao Qi couldn't bear to wake her. The princess's delegation was about to arrive, so Qianxia was specially arranged to receive them. After all, they were all women, and it was more convenient that way.
The princess asked Qianxia about the whereabouts of the woman in the red dress. The woman in the red dress gave the princess the Forget-Me-Not butterfly and told her that as long as she made a wish while looking at the butterfly, she could forget the people and things she wanted to forget. Furthermore, the woman in the red dress did it for the princess without asking for anything in return. Qianxia was quite puzzled but went along to protect the princess. In the blink of an eye, they traveled back to when the princess was a child. Yiru was the princess's companion reader, teaching her how to play the game of throwing the pot. As they grew up, the two had already understood each other's hearts. The princess had long decided in her heart that Yiru was the one for her. She even sneaked out of the palace to play, just to spend time alone with him. Yiru always considered the safety of the princess his lifelong duty, accompanying her through both mischief and laughter.
Standing on the high city wall, the two talked about the legendary seven-colored auspicious clouds. As long as their souls were connected and they made promises to each other, they knew they couldn't be together in this lifetime, but in another lifetime, that person would come on auspicious clouds to marry them. Neither of them mentioned it explicitly, but their souls had long been connected. The princess was very happy and asked Yiru to play a tune for her. That moment seemed so beautiful, but in the end, it couldn't withstand reality.
