Love and Sword Episode 21 Recap
> Love and Sword Recap
When Chu Tianyao met Lin Shaoci, the two simply exchanged polite greetings. Lin Shaoci informed Chu Tianyao that his father would be arriving soon. After meeting Chu Tianyao, Lin Shaoci felt that his figure was very similar to Yan Shao's. Rong Shukuang quickly covered up, claiming that she had seen Yan Shao before and that the two were not the same person.
At that moment, Ye Guizhou came to see Rong Shukuang, and unexpectedly, Rong Shukuang took the initiative to discuss the wedding and deliberately proposed to get married on the sixteenth of this month. Chu Tianyao did not object and instructed Ye Guizhou to follow Rong Shukuang's wishes. However, Feng Ming could see that Chu Tianyao was distressed, hoping to get a clear answer and understand who Rong Shukuang truly loved in her heart.
He still wished that Rong Shukuang loved Yan Shao and not Chu Tianyao’s identity. Feng Ming also understood that if Yan Shao married Rong Shukuang as Chu Tianyao, it would hurt both of them. Rong Shukuang had someone bring fabric to Chu Tianyao to measure his size for the wedding attire. Shangguan Tong praised Rong Shukuang highly. While measuring Chu Tianyao's figure, Rong Shukuang deliberately dropped the eagle bone whistle and mentioned how important it was to her.
She then acted resolutely, stating that she would sever her past feelings and destroy the eagle bone whistle. After leaving, she secretly hoped that Chu Tianyao would chase after her. As expected, Chu Tianyao fell for it and hurriedly chased after her, only to find that Rong Shukuang was gone. Just then, the sound of the eagle bone whistle came from a distance. Chu Tianyao followed it to an abandoned well and saw Rong Shukuang inside.
He found a rope nearby, climbed down, and set her dislocated arm back in place. He then carried her on his back, intending to climb out, but the rope broke, and they both fell to the bottom of the well. Finally having a chance to talk, Rong Shukuang candidly admitted that she already knew his true identity and would not marry someone she did not love.
The wedding date was her deadline — if Chu Tianyao still refused to be honest, she would leave on the day of the wedding. Hearing this, Chu Tianyao finally removed his mask, revealing Yan Shao's face. The two tightly embraced, confessing their deep love for one another. Yan Shao confessed that his feelings for Rong Shukuang began from a sense of responsibility and a promise, but the woman he fell in love with was the one he had saved.
Similarly, Rong Shukuang fell for the young man in red who had always stayed by her side. They sat at the bottom of the well, recounting the experiences that had separated them. Overcome with emotion, they couldn't help but share a passionate kiss. Watching from above, Shangguan Tong and Feng Ming noticed the situation but chose to sit aside and wait for them to call for help.
After returning to Yan Shao's room, he confessed to Rong Shukuang about his poisoning and that he did not have long to live. He explained that the reason he had planned to marry her as Chu Tianyao was to protect her. Rong Shukuang, in turn, shared her background — she came from the modern world and suspected that Bai Yu had brought her to this place, along with some fragmented memories from Rong Shukuang's body.
Yan Shao recalled their time in Longyue Village. Su Shiyu, as if foreseeing danger, had given jade pendants to both children before the massacre of Longyue Village by the Beigui Alliance. Afterward, Yan Shao was taken to Tiangang by Chu Moxiong, while Rong Shukuang was brought to Yuchi Manor. Yan Shao searched for her tirelessly and finally saw her standing up for justice in an inn, brave and heroic.
However, when he noticed Lin Shaoci taking her away and sensed Rong Shukuang's affection for Lin Shaoci, he chose to quietly leave. Later, when he learned that Rong Shukuang had been captured, he risked his life to rescue her and thus met the current Rong Shukuang. Lin Shaoci and the others heard that Rong Shukuang went to see Chu Tianyao and did not return all night, so they came to his room to look for her.
Rong Shukuang panicked and wanted to leave, but Chu Tianyao insisted that since they were now husband and wife, sharing a room was natural. Hearing this, Rong Shukuang reluctantly agreed, opening the door and explaining that she had an enjoyable conversation with Chu Tianyao the previous night. Chu Tianyao then put his mask back on but continued to exchange flirtatious glances with Rong Shukuang behind everyone's back.
Watching her lovestruck demeanor, Lin Shaoci felt a deep sense of bitterness, believing that Rong Shukuang had truly moved on from Yan Shao. After returning to her room, Rong Shukuang wrote down what she considered to be the most romantic thing in the world.
