Episode 10 recap: Zi Chuan Xiu exchanged information with Xiao Long.
Zi Chuan Xiu expressed that the person seemed to possess the secret of Zi Chuan Shen Xing. Si Yilin felt that if that person was indeed a problem, then all their actions would be transparent. Zi Chuan Xiu believed that those people had to be unearthed and used for their own purposes. He felt that they must dig out this person to see who they really were. Zi Chuan Xiu hinted to Si Yilin that it would require some financial resources to dig out this person.
Si Yilin gave Zi Chuan Xiu some money. Zi Chuan Xiu immediately wanted to go and have a drink with his sister-in-law, but Si Yilin wouldn't let Zi Chuan Xiu go out. Zi Chuan Xiu stated that he didn't want to stay in this mansion as he felt a bit restricted. Si Yilin couldn't understand what Zi Chuan Xiu was thinking.
Si Yilin believed that Zi Chuan Shen Xing had already agreed to hand Zi Chuan Ning over to Zi Chuan Xiu, so why did Zi Chuan Xiu want to run away? Zi Chuan Xiu said that he wasn't that capable and questioned why he should leave home, intentionally mentioning that he wanted to go and find the ten ladies in Chunfeng Garden.
Si Yilin also mocked Zi Chuan Xiu, saying that he used to live quite freely in Yuanzhou, but now he couldn't even handle Zi Chuan Ning. Zi Chuan Xiu believed that on the battlefield, he knew the enemy well and was invincible, but this approach didn't work for Zi Chuan Ning, in other words, it didn't work for women.
Si Yilin suggested that Zi Chuan Xiu find a strategist and then quickly left after saying that. Zi Chuan Xiu thought that women's thoughts were difficult to fathom. Si Yilin told Zi Chuan Xiu to capture a woman's thoughts and make Zi Chuan Ning understand his intentions. Zi Chuan Xiu knew that he understood the reasoning behind Si Yilin's words, but it seemed like he didn't understand.
Ka Dan told Zi Chuan Xiu that her method wasn't worth recommending, but he could learn from it. She told Zi Chuan Xiu to figure out what a girl really cares about and what she wants. When Si Yilin felt it was time to leave, Ka Dan stopped him and brought out a garment she had sewn for him. She said she admired Si Yilin and that he was the bravest warrior in her heart.
Si Yilin happily hinted to Zi Chuan Xiu to leave. Zi Chuan Xiu noticed that Si Yilin was interested in Ka Dan. Si Yilin knew that he couldn't deceive Zi Chuan Xiu and boldly admitted his interest in Ka Dan. However, he couldn't let personal feelings interfere with national affairs.
Zi Chuan Xiu felt that Si Yilin was even more miserable than himself. He believed that for Ka Dan, Si Yilin might have a special significance. Zi Chuan Xiu found Zi Chuan Ning and apologized, expressing his gratitude. He even brought up the childhood bedwetting incident to take the blame for Zi Chuan Ning.
Zi Chuan Xiu finally performed a duet with Zi Chuan Ning. Zi Chuan Ning wanted Zi Chuan Xiu to perform another duet with her in front of the civil and military officials, but Zi Chuan Xiu felt it was unnecessary. Zi Chuan Shen Xing watched those people in the court who were dissatisfied with Di Lin's actions, and Minghui Fang Jin vigorously opposed them.
Zi Chuan Shen Xing also feared losing public support and leaving Zi Chuan unable to stand in the future. Yang Ming Hua came over and said that only a strong Zi Chuan could hold his ground. Zi Chuan Shen Xing could only show weakness. Yang Ming Hua called Minghui Fang Jin to form an alliance.
Luo Ming Hai hinted to the two of them that all these years, Yang Ming Hua had done everything for Zi Chuan, not the Zi Chuan family. Minghui reluctantly agreed to Yang Ming Hua's request. However, Fang Jin did not want to align with Yang Ming Hua, but he was threatened with his beloved daughter, so he agreed to withdraw his troops and leave the capital tomorrow.
Lei Hong felt that Ge Ying Xing couldn't continue to endure being bullied like this, and he couldn't bear to see it. If the adults continued to endure, they would have no place to stand for themselves and their brothers. Ge Ying Xing knew Di Lin's methods and felt truly cornered.
Everyone thought Di Lin was a bastard. Luo Ming Hai believed that before anything significant could be achieved, Zi Chuan Xiu and Si Yilin must be eliminated to prevent future trouble. Yang Ming Hua had no intention of letting them go and wanted to eradicate them completely. Xiao Long came to see Zi Chuan Xiu and asked him to shave his beard.
Xiao Long asked Zi Chuan Xiu to exchange the information for an equivalent piece of news. Zi Chuan Xiu told Xiao Long that Zi Chuan Ning liked him, and Xiao Long realized he had been tricked. Si Yilin suggested that Zi Chuan Xiu celebrate a woman's birthday. Zi Chuan Xiu took Zi Chuan Ning out, and Ming Yue played a tune on the piano that was unbearable to the ears.
Si Yilin also prepared hometown delicacies for Ka Dan, showing great hospitality. Ka Dan was deeply moved by Si Yilin's actions. Ming Yue played a tune that matched Zi Chuan Ning's mood, and Zi Chuan Ning felt saddened by her own music, as if it was a chaotic dance of demons. Zi Chuan Xiu couldn't bear to see Zi Chuan Ning cry.
