Love and Sword Episode 22 Recap
> Love and Sword Recap
Although Rong Shukuang knew that Yan Shao didn't have much time left, she still hoped that every day could be filled with happiness and did not want to live in sorrow. During the day, the two would go out and enjoy romantic outings. Yan Shao even deliberately applied red lipstick to make himself look less pale, hoping that when Rong Shukuang reminisced about him in the future, all her memories would be beautiful. At night, Rong Shukuang would ask Tang Yingluo to bring her many medical books, hoping to find a way to cure Yan Shao's illness.
One day, Rong Shukuang made a steak in the kitchen and deliberately asked Feng Ming to play the flute to create a romantic atmosphere for a candlelight dinner. However, the sound of the flute accidentally blew out the candle. Yan Shao simply kicked Feng Ming out, wanting to enjoy dinner alone with Rong Shukuang. During the dinner, Rong Shukuang suggested that Yan Shao formally propose to her.
The next day, Yan Shao specially crafted a wooden wild goose in the kitchen as a symbolic gift for the proposal and also sent the traditional betrothal gifts to Yuchi Manor. Yan Shao then formally knelt before Rong Shukuang to propose. Without hesitation, Rong Shukuang expressed her willingness to marry Yan Shao. Just as the two were about to kiss, Shangguan Tong and Feng Ming showed up, disrupting their romantic moment.
Shortly after, Lin Qianyi and the others arrived. Yan Shao and Rong Shukuang prepared to meet them, holding hands and determined to face everything together. Yan Shao promised that no one would harm Rong Shukuang as long as they were there.
Chu Tianyao went to welcome Lin Qianyi and Lin Wanci, while Bai Gui Ye Ku secretly blended in among Lin Qianyi's attendants. Privately, Chu Tianyao expressed his willingness to support Lin Qianyi in becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance. He also promised that once Lin Qianyi ascended, he would destroy the key in front of everyone, ensuring there would be no more conflicts in the martial world. Lin Qianyi immediately agreed.
Lin Wanci, however, keenly noticed that Rong Shukuang seemed genuinely happy about the marriage. Out of curiosity, she deliberately asked Tang Yingluo and Lin Shaoci about Chu Tianyao's appearance, suspecting that Rong Shukuang couldn't have fallen for someone else so quickly. This suspicion made Lin Wanci begin to doubt Chu Tianyao's true identity.
Lin Wanci then approached Rong Shukuang and deliberately mentioned how she had saved Yan Shao in the past, and how they supported and cared for each other with sincerity. Rong Shukuang, however, firmly stated that Yan Shao was just her bodyguard, and her feelings for Chu Tianyao were different. She even told Lin Wanci to continue waiting for Yan Shao and maintain her sincere bond with him.
Later, Rong Shukuang sought out Yan Shao. Ever since Lin Qianyi and Lin Wanci arrived, she had felt uneasy, fearing that something would go wrong and ruin their wedding. She expressed her desire to get married as soon as possible. Yan Shao initially thought they should wait for all the guests to arrive, but seeing how anxious Rong Shukuang was, he agreed to have a private wedding with just the two of them.
The two then traveled to another hot spring valley. While there, Rong Shukuang discovered that Yan Shao had the same tattoo on his back as hers. Yan Shao explained that it was a Ghost-Eyed Butterfly, which was also the key to the Fuxian treasure. This meant that the two were destined to protect the treasure together.
Yan Shao expressed his wish to destroy the treasure during their wedding to prevent further bloodshed. Although Rong Shukuang found it a pity, she agreed, believing that as long as everyone could live in peace, the treasure was not worth it. In her heart, Yan Shao was the most precious treasure. Yan Shao, however, worried that he might not be able to protect Rong Shukuang for long, but Rong Shukuang reassured him that she could protect him instead.
Meanwhile, Tang Yingluo and the others noticed that Chu Tianyao and Rong Shukuang were missing and began to worry. Lin Wanci, however, speculated that the two might have gone on a date since they seemed to have mutual affection. She also felt slightly uneasy since the six major sects were about to arrive.
Rong Shukuang put on her wedding dress, smiling happily. Feiwu, however, was displeased, believing that Rong Shukuang shouldn't be so cheerful when Yan Shao was close to death. Rong Shukuang gently explained that everything Yan Shao did was to make her happy, and if she spent every day in sorrow, it would go against his wishes. She also acknowledged that she understood the difference between Yan Shao's affection for Feiwu and herself and hoped that Feiwu could get along with her for Yan Shao's sake. Feiwu was deeply moved by her words.
Shangguan Tong agreed to be Rong Shukuang's flower girl and scatter petals during the wedding. Under Ye Guizhou's officiation, Rong Shukuang and Yan Shao finally held their wedding ceremony. That night, the two entered the bridal chamber. Holding hands, Rong Shukuang playfully asked Yan Shao if he felt lucky to marry someone like her. Yan Shao responded sincerely, saying that ever since he met Rong Shukuang, his life had been filled with fortune.
Yan Shao intended to draw the tattoo on Rong Shukuang's back, but then suddenly remembered that the treasure was about to be destroyed, rendering the drawing unnecessary. Rong Shukuang then teased that the wedding night was precious, and with a laugh, Yan Shao tossed the paper aside and chased after Rong Shukuang, completing their bridal chamber night.
Meanwhile, Lin Wanci had been secretly instructing Gui Ye Ku to investigate Chu Tianyao's true identity. She already suspected that Chu Tianyao was actually Yan Shao, but she kept her suspicion to herself and instructed Gui Ye Ku to continue gathering information.
