Episode 7 recap: Li Mengjue and Xie Jingshu both fell off their horses.

Li Mengjue also subtly told Xie Jingshu that she only recognized one person, him. He was the one, always and forever. Xie Jingshu felt that if they couldn't stay together or forget about each other in the world, then there was still a long road ahead, and he could only admire her from afar. Li Mengjue hurriedly fled, feeling conflicted. She found it difficult to accept the words Xie Jingshu had said to her.

Lu Xier sat nearby, feeling very sad, holding a river lantern. Jing Yan, wearing a mask, came to find Lu Xier and thought he had scared her. He apologized to Lu Xier gently. Lu Xier felt that Jing Yan was a bit foolish and quietly ran away. Li Mengjue came out quietly to search for evidence and unexpectedly ran into Xie Jingshu again. Xie Jingshu asked Li Mengjue to put away her sword and exposed her deception. Li Mengjue told Xie Jingshu that she had never deceived him.

Xie Jingshu felt that Li Mengjue's identity and experiences were all fake, deceiving his emotions. Li Mengjue also felt that Xie Jingshu hadn't been any better than her and had been deceiving her all along. At this moment, a group of assassins arrived, and the two had to join forces to fight against them. Bai Rui appeared, and they couldn't let her know about the situation in Pingzhou.

Xie Jingshu was happy to see that Li Mengjue didn't kill him and cared about him. He told Li Mengjue that he had no relationship with Bai Rui. Suddenly, Li Mengjue coughed up blood, and Xie Jingshu was very worried. Li Mengjue told Xie Jingshu that in the early stages of her position in Qingzhu, she lived only for her children and didn't consider personal feelings. But Xie Jingshu had come and disrupted all her plans.

Li Mengjue felt that she didn't have much time left and told Xie Jingshu that she liked him.
