> Kill Me Love Me Recap

Since Murong Jinghe returned from Qingzhou, he had been in a constant state of mental decline, drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day. Despite the hatred Murong Xuanlie harbored for his younger brother, he still had to act the part of a caring elder brother, frequently visiting Prince Jing's residence to show concern and hypocritically advising Murong Jinghe to seek treatment for his leg injury.

Though the two appeared to be reminiscing about the past, in reality, they were testing each other. Murong Jinghe had already suspected that the fire in Qingzhou was somehow connected to the Crown Prince. The mastermind behind the plot knew that the Wei Bei Army had strict military discipline and would never harm civilians, which is why the citizens of Qingzhou were incited to attack the army camp.

Deputy General Yang Donghu was burned alive while trying to protect Murong Jinghe, who was also left with broken legs. As Murong Jinghe, accompanied by Qing Yan, paid tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Wei Bei Army in a secret chamber, he silently swore that this time he would not show any mercy.

Mei Lin gazed at the blackened veins on her arm, recalling the orders from the master of the Dark Workshop, and felt that there was still a fog of mystery surrounding the fire in Qingzhou. She found herself torn about whether to carry out the assassination. Princess Zi Gu came to visit Mei Lin, and her optimistic and cheerful personality alleviated some of Mei Lin's inner turmoil, helping her find the true answer she was seeking.

Meanwhile, Xi Yan's Prince Yue Qin, upon hearing that his sister had arrived in the capital, eagerly rushed to visit her. However, he caught a fleeting glimpse of Mei Lin and quickly gave chase, but she had disappeared, leaving behind only her Qingzhou knot hanging in the air. Yue Qin, the least favored prince of Xi Yan, had been helped by Mei Lin during the chaos of war and had secretly developed feelings for her.

After Xi Yan’s defeat, he had volunteered to enter Da Yan as a hostage for the sake of his sister and his mother. Little did he expect to encounter Mei Lin again in Zhao Jing, even if it was only for a brief moment. Later, Yue Qin met with his sister Zi Gu, telling her that he would wait until she had fully adapted to life here before leaving Da Yan.

In truth, Princess Zi Gu was anxious inside, filled with curiosity about her future husband. She knew well that as a princess, she had no control over her fate or love and could only resign herself to the fact that she would have to marry the emperor of Da Yan. Likewise, Yue Qin regretted that he and Mei Lin were unlikely to be together.

The grand banquet for the peace marriage was held as scheduled, and Princess Zi Gu was granted the title of Lady Yan, residing in the Hall of Blossoming Glory. Emperor Murong Qian bestowed beauties upon various princes and nobles, and Murong Xuanlie, seeking to probe the situation, deliberately requested Mei Lin in front of everyone.

Worried that his elder brother might discover Mei Lin’s identity, Murong Jinghe, in a moment of urgency, stood up from his wheelchair to declare his feelings for Mei Lin and pulled her into his arms. Before Mei Lin could make a move, she whispered a plea for help to Murong Jinghe, betting that he was not the true culprit behind the fire in Qingzhou and that he was willing to overturn the case.

She used a fake military token as bait, seeking his cooperation. Before Murong Jinghe could react, Mei Lin unhesitatingly stabbed him in the chest with her hairpin. However, since Murong Jinghe was wearing a gold-threaded soft armor, he only suffered a minor injury. Murong Qian, seeing his son stand up again, was overjoyed, while Murong Xuanlie was filled with alarm. Murong Jinghe intentionally showed weakness, hoping his elder brother would take charge of investigating Mei Lin's assassination attempt.

In the process, Murong Xuanlie discovered that Mei Lin was a Mo Veined Death Warrior, which deeply shocked him, making him suspect that she was either one of Zhang Yin’s people or connected to his brother. However, the Mo Veined Death Warriors had supposedly been wiped out ten years ago, leaving no evidence behind.

Murong Jinghe was certain that Zhang Yin, driven by profit rather than loyalty, could play the role of an obedient lapdog, only to turn into a vicious dog that would bite its master once Murong Xuanlie no longer had use for him.

Murong Jinghe personally went to the prison where Murong Xuanlie attempted to use force against Mei Lin to pressure his brother into compromising, but to no avail—Mei Lin remained completely unresponsive, as though the matter had nothing to do with her. Afterward, Murong Jinghe secretly summoned Zhang Yin, dropping hints during their conversation that led Zhang Yin to realize the Crown Prince would abandon him in a time of crisis.

Mei Lin, subjected to torture, was locked in a dark, windowless prison, almost losing her will to live. But then, she saw a flower growing between the cracks of the stones, and with great effort, she crawled over to protect it, telling herself she must not die. Witnessing this, Murong Jinghe was moved by Mei Lin's unyielding will to survive as the last orphan of Qingzhou. He ordered Qing Yan to secretly protect her life, ensuring that Zhang Yin would not silence her.
