Are You the One Episode 10 Recap
> Are You the One Recap
As night fell, Cui Xingzhou reflected on the absurd actions he had taken during the day, realizing that he might have made a mistake. Liu Miantang was not an object to be casually given away, and it would be a waste to let her life slip away before his eyes. The nanny suggested sending Liu Miantang back to her maternal family, but Cui Xingzhou had not made up his mind and did not give an answer.
When Cui Xingzhou returned to the bedroom, Liu Miantang was still in front of the mirror, combing her hair. Cui Xingzhou took the comb from her and carefully helped her comb her hair. Liu Miantang noticed that Cui Xingzhou had been acting a bit differently since his return from Qingzhou. Cui Xingzhou lied, saying that he had a dream in which he left, and Liu Miantang was left all alone.
He then asked Liu Miantang what kind of life she wanted. Liu Miantang candidly replied that having him and the Yushao Porcelain Workshop was enough for her; just managing the workshop would keep her busy for half a lifetime. After speaking, she handed him a plate with a dragonfly design, which she had fired last time, and asked him to write a short poem on it.
Cui Xingzhou casually composed a poem, and his words flowed smoothly, perfectly matching the scene. Liu Miantang praised Cui Xingzhou's talent and admitted that she genuinely liked the plate, suggesting they keep it at home. Unintentionally, Liu Miantang gave Cui Xingzhou a choice, and he decided to keep Liu Miantang by his side. The next day, Cui Xingzhou shared his thoughts with Zhao Quan.
Zhao Quan thought Cui Xingzhou was being unrealistic, pointing out that rumors were spreading everywhere about the upcoming marriage of the Prince of Huaiyang. Yet, Cui Xingzhou insisted on taking Liu Miantang as his concubine after the marriage. Zhao Quan warned that if Liu Miantang regained her memory, she would undoubtedly hate him to the core, and there would be no good outcome for him in the future.
Cui Xingzhou had never changed his mind based on anyone's advice, and Zhao Quan's words were no exception. When He Zhen heard about the Prince of Huaiyang's impending marriage, she lost her appetite. Everyone knew that she had become a so-called "leftover woman" because she had a one-sided love for the Prince of Huaiyang. Now that he was getting married, it was a heavy blow for her.
Liu Miantang noticed that He Zhen was troubled by rumors and kindly comforted her. Seeing that Liu Miantang was not like other women who were gossipy and dull, He Zhen considered her a confidante. Meanwhile, Lian Binglan also heard some rumors. Since she was determined to become the princess, she knew that concubines were indispensable in the prince's residence. After much thought, she decided that it would be best to first win over He Zhen as an ally.
Since He Zhen came from a prestigious family, taking her as a concubine would be justifiable and would certainly be more acceptable than Liu Miantang, who had a lowly background and was not even qualified to be a concubine. Lian Binglan believed that by winning over He Zhen, she could use her to achieve her own goals in the future. Lian Binglan took the initiative to find He Zhen.
Upon hearing that the future Princess of Huaiyang was willing to make her a concubine, He Zhen was overjoyed and immediately shared the good news with Liu Miantang. Liu Miantang, also genuinely happy for her, told Cui Xingzhou about it. However, Cui Xingzhou did not agree. The next day, he went to see Lian Binglan, reminding her not to get too close to people irrelevant to the trade association. Lian Binglan tactfully sent He Zhen away.
Without hope, He Zhen fell into despair, refusing to eat or drink, and soon became seriously ill. He Zhen's maid knew that her mistress had a good relationship with Liu Miantang, so she quickly called Liu Miantang to come and comfort her. When Liu Miantang saw He Zhen's haggard appearance, she naturally felt pity for her.
Zhao Quan prescribed medicine for her and ordered that she not leave the house for fourteen days, warning that exposure to wind could worsen her condition. Zhao Quan knew that He Zhen's illness was caused by heartache and thought that things might improve after Cui Xingzhou's marriage.
