Episode 17 recap: A Mai Shang Yi Zhi looked at the shooting stars.
Shang Yi Zhi told Xu Jing that he and A Mai made a significant discovery during their outing. A Mai found the Bei Mo soldiers. Xu Jing asked if their information was reliable, and A Mai assured him that she saw it with her own eyes. Pingjiaao was an abandoned fortress where they could set up a trap to lure the Bei Mo army in. Mu Bai informed Shang Yi Zhi that A Mai had gone missing.
Chang Yu Qing was wiping his armor when Cui Yan rushed over to call him. He asked Chang Yu Qing when they would be going out, as the city of Yuzhou was too small, and he couldn't even ride a horse freely. Chang Yu Qing told him not to worry, but Cui Yan insisted on making some achievements; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to face the marriage promised by his father.
Chang Yu Qing asked why he didn't mention it earlier and told Cui Yan to quickly get ready as they would be leaving for Mount Wulan soon. Mu Bai told A Mai that Shang Yi Zhi arranged for her to keep watch tonight. A Mai went over to Shang Yi Zhi's place.
Shang Yi Zhi laid A Mai on his bed and told her that he arranged for her to keep watch here so she could rest properly. It was convenient for her to take a bath here as well if she wanted to. A Mai asked what they would do if someone saw them, and Shang Yi Zhi said the most likely person to see her here would be himself.
But he had already seen her, and it didn't matter. Shang Yi Zhi asked if A Mai wanted to take a bath, but she declined and rolled onto the bed to sleep. Shang Yi Zhi looked at the empty space beside A Mai and mistakenly thought she wanted him to lie down and sleep.
A Mai turned her head and saw Shang Yi Zhi lying next to her. She kicked him off the bed, and Shang Yi Zhi let out a loud scream. A Mai woke up in the middle of the night and saw the little dog Shang Yi Zhi had given her next to her. She called for Shang Yi Zhi to come back quickly.
Shang Yi Zhi said he wouldn't go back, to avoid A Mai hitting him again. A Mai asked where he found the little dog, and Shang Yi Zhi said he found it on the clothes A Mai left outside. A Mai saw that Shang Yi Zhi was still angry and asked how she could cheer him up.
Shang Yi Zhi asked A Mai to come out, and he immediately kissed her on the forehead. Shang Yi Zhi told A Mai that he had calmed down, and then he asked her to go out with him.
Vice General Jiang felt that there were no enemy troops for several miles around, so he wondered why Chang Yu Qing hadn't started the operation. Chang Yu Qing thought he was being impatient. A Mai looked up at the sky and asked Shang Yi Zhi why they hadn't seen any shooting stars despite it being dark. Shang Yi Zhi asked her to wait a little longer and began fantasizing about kissing A Mai.
A Mai looked at him in a trance and asked what was wrong. Shang Yi Zhi told her that he was practicing how to close his eyes when the shooting stars came in advance. Just as he was speaking, a shooting star appeared, and A Mai quickly called Shang Yi Zhi to look. Shang Yi Zhi widened his eyes to see the shooting star, but then he remembered that he had forgotten about the important matter at hand.
As the two were about to leave, they spotted the Bei Mo soldiers and quietly sneaked away. When they returned, they saw Xu Jing and Mu Bai waiting for them. Shang Yi Zhi pretended that Mu Bai had made a mistake. He told Xu Jing not to worry about saving face and to scold him if necessary. Xu Jing asked what punishment A Mai should receive for leaving the camp without permission.
Shang Yi Zhi was afraid of A Mai being punished, so he quickly informed Xu Jing that he and A Mai had discovered the presence of the Bei Mo soldiers. Upon hearing this, Xu Jing immediately ordered Mu Bai to call for a meeting in the camp. He told A Mai that they were about to discuss important military matters and asked her to leave quickly.
A Mai said she just wanted to listen from the sidelines and would not express any opinions. Xu Jing asked if she had forgotten her promise to him, and A Mai had no choice but to leave. Xu Jing suggested that they could move to Pingjiaao now. Shang Yi Zhi asked how they could safely relocate.
Xu Jing told him they could lure the Bei Mo army by exposing a camp and quickly move the others. Once the main forces successfully relocated, they could retreat. A Mai overheard their discussion and prepared to follow behind the Seventh Battalion to lure away the Bei Mo army. Lu Gang asked them all to share their ideas on how to distract the Bei Mo army. A Mai asked Lu Gang who they were about to face.
Lu Gang told her it was Chang Yu Qing. A Mai thought that Chang Yu Qing was a competitive person and that he led cavalry troops. They could take advantage of this by luring them into the dense forest, where the advantage would shift to their infantry troops.
