Jade's Fateful Love Episode 5 Recap
> Jade's Fateful Love Recap
Zhou Shiyu stepped closer, and Yue Ling suddenly noticed his shadow on the ground, indicating he was not a spirit. She boldly grabbed Wen Yu's fingers, discovering they were warm, and listened to his heartbeat by pressing her ear to his chest, confirming that Wen Yu was alive and only trying to scare her. Zhou Shiyu had yet to reveal his identity and explained that the Northern King had spent a fortune to save him with a renowned physician.
Yue Ling had a poor impression of the Northern King, especially after discovering a courtyard full of beauties at the Northern King's residence, leading her to conclude he was a lecher. Zhou Shiyu explained that many things were just appearances, but Yue Ling remained unconvinced, adding that the Northern King also harbored treasonous intentions.
Zhou Shiyu followed Yue Ling back to the princess's residence and discovered that someone had intentionally leaked the account book, which falsely implicated him in treason, to Yue Ling. He concluded that the princess's residence was no longer safe and advised Yue Ling to move into the Northern King's residence with Xing Yi for their safety. Knowing Yue Ling and Xing Yi's true identities, Zhou Shiyu was even more concerned for their well-being.
Back at the residence, Lin Mu advised Zhou Shiyu to rest and recover, but Zhou Shiyu insisted he could only be at ease once Yue Ling and her brother were safe. Yue Ling hesitated for a long time before deciding to move into the Northern King's residence. With the account book in her possession, she guessed the Northern King wouldn't dare harm her. With no way to escape, she had to move in and look for another opportunity later.
Zhou Shiyu stayed in the southern courtyard and allocated the entire northern courtyard to Yue Ling, decorating it in the style of Dong Yu, which made Yue Ling feel homesick. That evening, Zhou Shiyu remembered Yue Ling's request to see Wen Yu and how she had mentioned a maid named A Yue, who had been cared for by Wen Yu on the journey, leading her to have feelings for him.
Upon seeing that Wen Yu was alive, she had embraced him in relief, her emotions evident. Zhou Shiyu realized he too had feelings for Princess Yue Ling but couldn't reveal his identity yet. He arranged for Wen Yu to act as Yue Ling's steward, along with two maids and a chef, making her stay at the Northern King's residence more comfortable. Yue Ling suggested celebrating their move.
That night, Zhou Shiyu found many people in the northern courtyard, where Yue Ling, drunk, was fraternizing with everyone, turning the place into a mess. Zhou Shiyu carried the intoxicated Yue Ling back to her room. Yue Ling, staring at Zhou Shiyu’s face, repeatedly called out for Wen Yu, her heart fluttering with the effects of alcohol, dreaming that she and Wen Yu were married and intimately entwined.
Meanwhile, Gao Luoyi, the princess of Beishuo, was preparing to move back into the Northern King's residence. Zhou Shiyu was admiring a dance in the Beauty Pavilion when Gao Luoyi dispersed the dancers, expressing her desire to meet her future sister-in-law. Xing Yi went to Fengyue Pavilion to force Su Nian to reveal her true identity, but Su Nian’s delicate dancing made her seem nothing like the fierce assassin Xing Yi suspected. He began to doubt his judgment.
The Dowager Consort sent Mama Dong to teach Yue Ling Beishuo's etiquette. Used to the free-spirited ways of Dong Yu, Yue Ling found the restrictions unbearable. Gao Luoyi mocked Yue Ling for her lack of manners, but Yue Ling retorted sharply, leaving Gao Luoyi embarrassed. Zhou Shiyu quickly disbanded the Beauty Pavilion, which Zhou Jingyuan had set up to monitor him. Zhou Jingyuan then sought other ways to intensify his surveillance of Zhou Shiyu.
Assassin Ling Xi from Roufeng Sect informed Su Nian that Princess Yue Ling had stolen an important account book from their leader. The two needed to work together to retrieve it from Yue Ling. Yue Ling disliked the strict rules, so Zhou Shiyu requested the Dowager Consort to stop Mama Dong from teaching her any more etiquette.
