Episode 24 recap: No matter how hard Su Jue tried, he still couldn't make the phoenix coronet
This was driving Su Jue crazy In order to give an account to the lord, he resorted to despicable means and had Shan Dan Dan captured, demanding that Pei Pei make the phoenix coronet in exchange for her release Shan Dan Dan was outraged by Su Jue's shamelessness, but unexpectedly, Pei Pei agreed to his demand in order to save Shan Dan Dan, and quickly took the phoenix coronet to make the exchange
When Shan Shuang Shuang was giving the colorful knife and paints to Shan Dan Dan, Su Jue suddenly came over, wanting to check if there was anyone outside. Shan Shuang Shuang was nervous and wanted to lie, but was seen through by Su Jue.
Just as Su Jue was about to leave through the back door, Ayu rushed out and loudly stopped him. Su Jue was stunned, never expecting the usually docile Ayu to dare to stand up to him like this. What shocked him even more was that Ayu was quitting her job. Su Jue angrily agreed, then stormed off.
After Shan Dan Dan brought back the colorful knife, everyone was very happy.
Sun Wu and Pei Chufeng's work was completed quickly, leaving only the part that Pei Pei was most skilled at. Pei Pei had to work overtime to finish the phoenix coronet, which made Shan Dan Dan very worried about his health.
Shan Shuang Shuang knew that Ayu had deliberately helped her, so she waited for Ayu on her way out to find out her true thoughts.
Ayu was also a martial arts practitioner, and had long since seen that Shan Shuang Shuang had injured herself. But she felt the Su family was too evil, and someone had to discipline them, so she didn't expose it.
Manager Wang heard that Sun Wu was in Qipei Building, and hurriedly went to discuss strategy with Su Jue, worried that they would lose to Pei Pei.
But Su Jue was already prepared. They had to win. Back in the room, Su Jue told Shan Shuang Shuang that if they won, he would marry her. Although Shan Shuang Shuang knew the Su family was her enemy, she agreed to play along for the performance. The two embraced each other.
Shan Dan Dan went to buy squab to supplement Pei Pei's nutrition, but was knocked unconscious and kidnapped by Su Jue's men. Su Jue sent a message to Pei Pei, asking him to bring the phoenix coronet to the dilapidated temple to rescue Shan Dan Dan.
After waking up, Shan Dan Dan discovered that he had been kidnapped and was very angry.
Pei Pei rushed to the scene with the Phoenix Crown, but Su Jue reneged on his promise and demanded that only one of them could live. When Shan Shuang Shuang arrived, Pei Pei had already quietly revealed the plan, with the purpose of buying time to wait for Shan Shuang Shuang's rescue.
Pei Pei took Shan Dan Dan and left the dilapidated temple, and the two did not blame each other. Pei Pei had already anticipated that Su Jue would renege on his promise, so he had made a plan.
The next day, Pei Pei went to the Prefect's Mansion to report back, while Su Jue told Shan Shuang Shuang to wait for good news.
Su Jue arrived at the Prefect's Mansion first and presented the Phoenix Crown. The Prefect was very satisfied, but Pei Pei's Phoenix Crown was even more exquisite, earning the Prefect's praise. Pei Pei said that he had been inspired by Pei Chufeng's guidance to create an even better work. The Prefect decided to hand over the Phoenix Crown to the imperial court, and as long as the Empress was satisfied, the crimes of the Gijei Studio would be forgiven.
Su Jue lost the competition and silently returned home. Shan Shuang Shuang waited for him in her wedding dress, but their agreement was that they could only get married if he won. Su Jue openly admitted his loss, but he felt satisfied just to see Shan Shuang Shuang wearing the wedding dress for him.
He told Shan Shuang Shuang about the misdeeds of the Su family, including the murder of Shan Jingian. Then, he drank a poisonous potion and sat at the door, waiting for Pei Pei and the others to come, wanting to apologize to the Pei family. But he knew he wouldn't make it, so he hoped Shan Shuang Shuang could convey his apologies.
In the end, he passed away quietly in Shan Shuang Shuang's arms, but he could feel her grief.
After learning about the Su family's persecution of the Pei family, the Prefect thoroughly investigated the case and uncovered the truth about the loss of the Phoenix Crown years ago. He ordered the execution of the store manager, restored the reputation of the Pei family, and awarded them a gold plaque.
From then on, there was no more Su Yuxuan in Yuncui City, only the renowned Gijei Studio.
