Her Fantastic Adventures Episode 2 Recap
> Her Fantastic Adventures Recap
In the modern era, Qi Chunjiao had a childhood friend named Lu Zizheng. They grew up together, practically from infancy. Lu Zizheng told Chunjiao that she didn’t seem like a woman at all, which is why he could remain friends with her for so long. He also advised her not to have feelings for him. Chunjiao assured him that she did have someone she liked, but it wasn’t him. Gu Qingqiao noticed that the fugitive looked exactly like Lu Zizheng.
She thought he had also traveled back in time and told him not to leave the carriage, while she got out for inspection. She argued with the soldiers about social hierarchy, claiming that all people were equal, which earned her applause from the crowd. Duan Yu, noticing her debate with the soldiers, asked who she was and learned that she was the eldest daughter of the Gu family from Qingfeng Tower and the one who got the first incense.
He ordered his men to release her and keep a close eye on her. Gu Qingqiao secretly dragged Lu Zizheng into the Gu family's wine cellar. Seeing him covered in blood with an arrow wound, she was very worried and hurriedly tried to stop the bleeding. She noticed many scars on his body and asked where they came from since she hadn’t seen them before. Lu Zizheng, surprised by her concern, remarked that he didn’t know her.
He asked her to help pull out the arrowhead. Gu Qingqiao, hesitant, wanted to find a doctor, but Lu Zizheng stopped her, saying that if she did, her efforts to save him would be in vain. He asked her to remove the arrowhead herself. After drinking some wine for courage, Gu Qingqiao pulled out the arrowhead and told him he needed to eat something nourishing. She quickly made him a bowl of beef noodles.
After eating, Lu Zizheng said it was the best bowl of noodles he had ever had. Gu Qingqiao was puzzled since it wasn’t his first time eating it, and he kept calling her "Miss Gu. " She asked him how he had traveled back in time, but he didn’t understand what she meant. Gu Qingqiao thought he was pretending and got angry. Lu Zizheng then revealed that he wasn’t Lu Zizheng, leaving Gu Qingqiao feeling very disappointed.
The fugitive then told her to call him Lu Zizheng from now on. Gu Qingqiao asked why he was being pursued by the authorities. He explained that he had stolen a valuable item from the Manduo Sect. Gu Qingqiao asked if he, being a martial artist, knew about the Four Spirits. Lu Zizheng promised to find out and let her know. The governor asked the Changqing Chamber of Commerce to help capture the Manduo Sect members.
Initially, the chamber members were reluctant, believing that capturing sect members was the government's job. However, Duan Yu produced account books proving tax evasion by these merchants, and they immediately agreed to cooperate with the government. Gu Xinglian returned home feeling depressed. Gu Qingqiao asked him why he was troubled. He told her that he had to compete with Chunfeng Tower and help the government capture sect members.
Chunfeng Tower was famous for its vegetarian dishes, which outshone Qingfeng Tower's meat dishes. Gu Qingqiao suggested experiencing it herself to understand the competition. At her own restaurant, she ordered several dishes and found them unsatisfactory, realizing why Chunfeng Tower's vegetarian dishes were superior. Gu Qingqiao proposed organizing a food festival to promote Qingfeng Tower and enhance the chamber’s influence. Gu Xinglian discussed this idea with Duan Yu, who thought it was excellent and feasible.
Gu Xinglian invited him to dinner at their home, instructing the household to keep the prettier maids out of sight. He thought highly of Duan Yu and wanted to match him with Gu Qingqiao. Gu Qingqiao personally cooked a dish of braised pork so delicious it brought tears to Duan Yu's eyes. He wanted to see how it was made and went to the kitchen, where he encountered Gu Qingqiao.
She thought he was the Duan Yu she had a crush on in the modern era. In the modern era, Chunjiao wanted to confess her feelings to Duan Yu, but he told her he was going abroad to study and might not return, so she gave up. Gu Qingqiao, feeling unattractive, turned away and told Duan Yu not to come closer.
She talked about their past, and Duan Yu told her she might have mistaken him for someone else since they had never met. As she turned, she accidentally spilled the newly made braised pork on her feet. Duan Yu picked her up and put her in a water tank. At that moment, Gu Xinglian arrived and questioned why Duan Yu was in the kitchen with his daughter, suggesting they had been intimate.
Duan Si, however, denied any intimacy, and Duan Yu hurriedly left. That night, Gu Qingqiao kept thinking about Duan Yu, feeling it might be fate that they met again in ancient times after being rejected in the modern era. Lu Zizheng interrupted her thoughts, asking her to help him take a hot bath. Reluctantly, Gu Qingqiao agreed.
She thought that the only ones who didn’t mind her resurrection from the coffin were her maid, Dong Xi, and Gu Xinglian, while Lu Zizheng was the only person she knew and didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.
