Jade's Fateful Love Episode 1 Recap
> Jade's Fateful Love Recap
The Kingdom of Dongyu is about to celebrate a great event: Princess A Shi Na Zhu will marry into the Northern Shuozhou to establish a friendly alliance between the two countries. Little Princess A Shi Na Yue Ling is very happy and has prepared her older sister's favorite pastries for the farewell. Unlike her dignified and quiet sister, Yue Ling, also a princess, prefers practicing martial arts and cooking, which often gets her scolded by the King of Dongyu.
Her maid, Qian Qian, reminds Yue Ling not to miss the farewell banquet in the evening. As Yue Ling is about to return to the mansion to prepare, her younger brother, Xing Yi, runs over in a panic. Seeing that he doesn't seem to be in trouble, Yue Ling takes out some silver pieces she always carries with her and gives them to Xing Yi. The two have a tacit understanding.
In the evening, as songs resound outside the yurt, Yue Ling walks into the room and finds her older sister looking distressed. Without needing to ask, she can guess the reason: her sister and Du Er have been childhood sweethearts, and for the sake of the nation's interests, she agreed to the marriage alliance, but she has nowhere to vent her grievances.
Yue Ling can't stand seeing her sister unhappy, so she proposes to marry into the Northern Shuozhou in her place. Naturally, A Shi Na Zhu disagrees. Unable to reach a consensus, Yue Ling accompanies her sister in drinking away their sorrows. The next morning, Yue Ling wakes up groggily to find her sister missing. She asks Xing Yi and learns that the Northern Shuozhou wedding party has already taken her sister away.
Without thinking much, Yue Ling drags Xing Yi along and sets off, planning to intercept her sister. Along the way, they encounter Du Er, who was seeing A Shi Na Zhu off, and they come up with a new plan after some discussion. In the evening, Yue Ling disguises herself as a maid.
Seizing the opportunity to bring food to her sister, she knocks her out, and Xing Yi is responsible for getting her out of the camp, with Qian Qian and Du Er providing support. After the plan is successfully executed, Yue Ling sneaks into the Northern Shuozhou King Zhou Shiyu's room, intending to steal the marriage alliance document and put the blame on Northern Shuozhou.
However, King Zhou Shiyu, who was in charge of the wedding, secretly stands behind Yue Ling without her noticing. Just as they confront each other, an assassination organization, Roufengmen, storms the camp, killing indiscriminately. Poisoned arrows fly into Zhou Shiyu's room, and both Yue Ling and Zhou Shiyu are hit and die. Moments later, they miraculously recover as if they were never injured, and they both have memories of what just happened.
Yue Ling immediately accuses Northern Shuozhou of not properly protecting the alliance princess. Zhou Shiyu finds it suspicious, as if it was premeditated. Guard Lin Mu receives a secret message confirming it was Roufengmen's doing. Zhou Shiyu instructs Lin Mu not to reveal his identity, to test the two who attempted to steal the marriage document. The next day, Yue Ling, with the injured Xing Yi, tries to escape but is stopped by Zhou Shiyu.
Zhou Shiyu suggests that Yue Ling pretend to be the alliance princess while he finds the antidote to save Xing Yi. Yue Ling thinks they can sneak away once they get the antidote, so she agrees. Yue Ling doesn't dare reveal her true identity, only claiming to be a maid of the alliance princess, with Xing Yi as a guard. When asked about his name, Zhou Shiyu falsely claims to be called Yuwen and joins the wedding procession.
Roufengmen remains relentless, setting traps along the way. As the wedding party travels through the forest, they are suddenly surrounded and the entire party is killed by Roufengmen, but moments later, Yue Ling and Zhou Shiyu come back to life. This cycle happens three times. Although their lives are spared, constantly dealing with Roufengmen wastes time. Zhou Shiyu devises a diversion and takes Yue Ling along another path, still pursued by Roufengmen.
With no way out, Zhou Shiyu pulls Yue Ling off a cliff. After swimming to shore, Zhou Shiyu catches some small fish from a nearby shallow beach, cooks them, and they eat to satisfy their hunger. Yue Ling cautiously asks for permission before eating the delicious grilled fish.
