Episode 8 recap: Jiang Yu fell in love with Xu Weiwei.

Jiang Yu felt that Xu Weiwei was really going too far, constantly provoking him. He grabbed Xu Weiwei by the neck and pulled her along. Xu Weiwei quickly claimed that she was a favored person by Imperial Consort Lan, and questioned how Jiang Yu could treat her like this. She also mentioned that the Empress was currently pregnant with the dragon's child and in great danger, and she needed Jiang Yu's help. Jiang Yu thought about killing Xu Weiwei and then seeking forgiveness from the Empress, so that there would be no more problems.

Xu Weiwei tried to threaten Jiang Yu with her martial arts skills, but Jiang Yu showed no interest and brought Xu Weiwei in front of Imperial Consort Lan. Xu Weiwei saw Dai Yao and knew that she was going to harm her relationship with Imperial Consort Lan. Xu Weiwei kindly advised the Empress not to wear rouge as it would harm the dragon's child, but the Empress disagreed, thinking that Xu Weiwei was influenced by Dai Yao.

Dai Yao, who had traveled through time, actively approached Imperial Consort Lan and successfully manipulated her. Xu Weiwei just wanted to act well, but Dai Yao framed her, resulting in Xu Weiwei getting beaten. Jiang Yu felt sorry for her. Chu Cheng, upon seeing Xu Weiwei injured, quickly called out to her, and Jiang Yu kissed Xu Weiwei, bringing her back to the present. Dai Yao also returned, feeling angry for being disconnected from the situation.

Sun Zong asked Dai Yao to take a break. Chu Cheng felt that Jiang Yu was acting strange today and suspected that he had fallen in love with Xu Weiwei. Chu Cheng asked Xu Weiwei if she liked Jiang Yu, but Xu Weiwei felt that Chu Cheng was acting strange today, although she didn't believe he had fallen in love with her because he had always been harsh towards her. She countered by saying that Chu Cheng living here also meant he had feelings for her, but Chu Cheng quickly denied it.
