Love and Sword Episode 19 Recap
> Love and Sword Recap
Lin Wanci denied all her crimes, explaining that after being captured by Shen Zuitian, she had been thinking about how to deal with him and had never intended to go against Rong Shukuang. Yan Shao saw that Lin Wanci was not telling the truth and couldn't be bothered to continue speaking with her. However, Lin Wanci stated that she did not regret her actions and that, given another chance, she would still do the same.
At least this way, Yan Shao would look at her more and be willing to be with her. She hoped Yan Shao would see her as a good person, but Yan Shao simply replied that whether someone was good or not was not for him to judge—if a person was truly good, they would always be good. After escaping through the secret passage, Rong Shukuang and the others encountered a man making coffins.
Rong Shukuang believed that since Jin Buyao had sent them here, he must have had a plan. She hoped to make a deal with this man, who proposed trading for something from their belongings. Each person placed their most treasured possession into the box before them. Lin Shaoci put in his sword, and Rong Shukuang took out her saber. However, the man noticed that Rong Shukuang was not being honest and had not handed over her most precious item.
Only then did Rong Shukuang take out Yan Shao’s eagle bone whistle. Thinking about how determined Yan Shao had been to sever ties with her, she ruthlessly threw it away, but her heart ached. The man, however, did not take their items and willingly helped them find a carriage, stating that someone had already paid for it. Despite being gravely injured, Lin Wanci refused to take her medicine unless Yan Shao personally gave it to her.
Yan Shao mocked her for using such a desperate act as a ploy, but Lin Wanci expressed her grievances. She had always envied Rong Shukuang and wanted to be like her. She liked Yan Shao, but in her father and brother’s eyes, she was nothing more than a useless patient. That was why she wanted to achieve something—to prove to her family that she was capable.
Yan Shao also believed that Lin Wanci was merely using Shen Zuitian to make Yuchi Manor dominate the martial world. However, no matter her goals, she should not have treated human lives as mere grass. He hoped she would repent. Yan Shao then showed her his Red Lotus Heart and informed her that Rong Shukuang's had already been detoxified. Because of the Red Lotus mark, Yan Shao knew his days were numbered, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
Rong Shukuang was feeling uneasy. Tang Yingluo encouraged her to speak her mind, and Lin Shaoci knew that she could not let go of Yan Shao; otherwise, she wouldn't have hesitated to throw away the eagle bone whistle. However, Rong Shukuang believed that everything was in the past and that Yan Shao had already stated they had no ties anymore.
Lin Shaoci told her that Yan Shao had done a lot for her, but at this moment, Rong Shukuang thought that everything Yan Shao had done was for the real Rong Shukuang. Meanwhile, in their downfall, Shen Zuitian and his men realized that Jiang Ruhai was missing. They recalled Hua Qi’s words—Jiang Ruhai was unreliable. Shen Zuitian swore to reclaim everything he had lost.
Jiang Ruhai led a group to block Rong Shukuang and the others' path, but she effortlessly killed all of his men within moments and captured him. She pointed her blade at him just as Tang Chanyi arrived, threatening Rong Shukuang. If she dared to harm Jiang Ruhai, Tang Chanyi would make everyone pay with their lives. Rong Shukuang warned Tang Chanyi that if Jiang Ruhai did not have his legs severed, he would never be completely loyal to her.
Tang Wu examined Yan Shao’s poisoned wounds and sealed his acupoints, temporarily extending his life but preventing him from using martial arts. Tang Wu hoped Yan Shao would live well, but Yan Shao bid him farewell, choosing to leave. Tang Wu decided to stay at Wuqing Tower to take care of those in need. Lin Wanci chased after Yan Shao, wanting to follow him, but Tang Wu stopped her, persuading her to focus on recovering.
Lin Wanci’s gaze revealed her reluctance to part with Yan Shao, and she secretly swore that one day, she would make him realize how terrifying it was to oppose her. Wuchang Ghost retrieved the weapons that had been hanging on the tree outside Wuqing Tower, sighing over the fall of the tower. At that moment, Lin Wanci appeared, proposing cooperation. The bargaining chip in her deal was the Fuxian Treasure.
The six major sects gathered at Yuchi Manor to seek the Fuxian Treasure, and they needed to choose a leader among them. Tang Chanyi did not want to get involved, but she could not resist Jiang Ruhai’s persistent pleading. He promised to help her become the leader, and Tang Chanyi was tempted. Rong Shukuang and her group arrived at Tiangang, where they were greeted by Ye Guizhou, whom Rong Shukuang recognized as the fortune teller from before.
She marveled at how Tiangang’s people were everywhere. She requested to see Chu Tianyao but was told by Ye Guizhou that Chu Tianyao was ill and unable to receive guests. However, a room had been specially prepared for her, with everything arranged by Chu Tianyao. Rong Shukuang was quite satisfied with the accommodations. A maid named Wenzhu was assigned to take care of Rong Shukuang.
She introduced herself, explaining that she had grown up there and was very reliable, so Rong Shukuang had nothing to worry about. Rong Shukuang was pleased that Wenzhu had accurately addressed her concerns, which only made her more curious about the sect leader. Late at night, Rong Shukuang tried to sneak out to investigate but was followed by someone who claimed they were worried she might get lost.
Using her status as the future sect leader’s wife, Rong Shukuang intimidated the person into letting her go alone. As expected, she saw Feiwu and Ye Guizhou conversing. She followed them and ended up outside Chu Tianyao’s room, demanding to know where Yan Shao was. Feiwu reminded her that Yan Shao had already declared they had no ties anymore, and since she was here, she should prepare for her wedding.
Rong Shukuang suddenly barged into the room but found that Chu Tianyao was hiding behind a screen. She bluntly stated that Chu Tianyao only wanted to marry her for the key, but since she had already agreed, she would keep her word. However, she did not want a blind wedding—she wanted to meet him. Chu Tianyao reminded her that there were rules to follow and that with the wedding approaching, she should not cause trouble.
Rong Shukuang still tried to rush in, demanding to know where Yan Shao was. In reality, Chu Tianyao was Yan Shao. He stood behind the screen with tears in his eyes, deliberately telling Rong Shukuang that Yan Shao had been sent elsewhere on an assignment. But Rong Shukuang sensed that the person behind the screen felt familiar. Though his voice was different and even his height had been altered, she still found him familiar.
Feiwu urged Rong Shukuang to leave, and she pretended to do so. However, she suddenly turned around and stormed in, only to find that Yan Shao was already gone.
