Love in the Desert Episode 25 Recap
> Love in the Desert Recap
Ge Xinwei was walking ahead and stepped into quicksand. Ruo Wen caught up to her and shielded her as both were swept into a cave by the quicksand. Ruo Wen injured his leg and, seeing Ge Xinwei unconscious, was very worried. Without hesitation, he cut his palm and squeezed his blood into Ge Xinwei’s mouth, fearing she might die of dehydration. When Ge Xinwei woke up, she pushed Ruo Wen away.
Ruo Wen saw that the skin near her mouth was wet and tore off her fake mask, discovering that she was actually Huang Beishuang. Huang Beishuang thanked Ruo Wen for saving her and promised that once she obtained the Desert Scroll, she would help him. She suspected that Rong Ruo had also fallen into this cave before. Ge Xinwei and Huo Qingyun followed footprints into the cave and found bloodstains on the ground.
Ge Xinwei, worried that something had happened to Ruo Wen, called out his name loudly. Hearing that Ge Xinwei was in Tiandu, Ruo Wen assumed that Tiandu was temporarily safe. Huang Beishuang praised Ruo Wen for his sincere emotions and tested whether he could stay true to his heart. Na Zhan and General Wu chased them to Sanjiang City. Na Zhan ordered General Wu to guard the exit while he personally went down to capture them.
Sha Qu received the news and aimed to meet up with Huo Qingyun at Sanjiang City before nightfall. Huang Beishuang suggested they split up—Ruo Wen would search for an exit while she looked for the Desert Scroll. The cave's terrain was unstable, and rocks frequently collapsed. Ge Xinwei was almost hit by a falling rock. Eventually, the four found each other inside the cave.
Huo Qingyun took out some wound medicine for Ruo Wen and urged him to apply it quickly. Huang Beishuang accidentally discovered a desk and finally found the Oasis Chapter. She noticed a bloodstained letter on the desk and confirmed that Rong Ruo had indeed fallen into this cave. Upon hearing this, Ruo Wen was deeply unsettled. Huang Beishuang read the letter aloud, which recorded the origins of the Desert Scroll.
It also revealed that before Na Qida set off to explore the desert, he entrusted the responsibility of overseeing the city to his adopted son, Na Zhan. Unexpectedly, Na Zhan had conspired with a eunuch to poison and kill Na Qida. Following the trail of blood, Na Zhan found Huang Beishuang and the others. He mockingly declared that he would silence them all, leaving their bodies to rest alongside the skeleton of Rong Ruo.
Huo Qingyun warned the Yun Pei soldiers not to get trapped, but Na Zhan ruthlessly killed a hesitant soldier and promised great rewards for killing Huo Qingyun and the others. Suddenly, the cave trembled again, giving both sides an opportunity to flee from Na Zhan’s pursuit, though the two couples became separated in the chaos. Huo Qingyun and Huang Beishuang found an exit and escaped.
Ge Xinwei expressed her hope of going to the Central Plains after their escape, but Ruo Wen deliberately said he didn’t want to go. They struggled to find an exit and, upon finding one, discovered they couldn’t climb out. Ruo Wen carried Ge Xinwei on his back and nearly fell several times. In his effort to save Ge Xinwei, Ruo Wen was injured again. After they escaped, they realized they couldn’t walk out of the desert.
Fortunately, they encountered some Yun Pei soldiers. Ruo Wen killed them and took their horses. Na Zhan and his men, following the horse tracks, emerged from the cave and pursued Ruo Wen. Along the way, they encountered Man Hu, Lang Tou, and others, whom they brutally killed. After these events, Ruo Wen promised to give Ge Xinwei an explanation. Sensing someone catching up, he deliberately urged Ge Xinwei to go ahead and find help.
Na Zhan caught up to Ruo Wen. Upon learning that his brother had been killed, Ruo Wen was furious and tried to seek revenge, but he was gravely injured by Na Zhan’s men. Ge Xinwei turned back and begged Na Zhan to spare Ruo Wen, but Na Zhan demanded she kneel and plead for mercy. Ruo Wen firmly refused to allow her to do so.
To save Ruo Wen, Ge Xinwei knelt, but Na Zhan went back on his word and shot Ruo Wen. Before his death, Ruo Wen learned that Ge Xinwei was pregnant with his child. He died peacefully in her arms. Ge Xinwei cried uncontrollably, recalling their time together and unable to believe it was real. Na Zhan captured Ge Xinwei and brought her back to Yun Pei, where she was bound and hung at the city gate.
