> Romance of a Twin Flower Recap
While Shui Niangzi was playing the qin, she accidentally broke a string, making the guest angry. Gui Bai took the initiative to drink in apology for her, but accidentally drank too much and was helped back to his room by Shui Niangzi. Even then, he was still talking about protecting Ning Yuxuan, saying that he was a good official. Shui Niangzi knew that Gui Bai had been following her for the past few days, probably with the intention of protecting her. She confirmed this because of the smell of blood on Gui Bai's body, which made her face serious.
Ning Yuxuan and Ji Man sat back-to-back separated by wooden bars. Ning Yuxuan said that the emperor already knew that Ji Man was involved in a murder case and was about to send someone to bring her to the capital for investigation. The person behind the scenes was worried that things might change, so they wanted Ji Man to sign a confession and then kill her, pretending that she had committed suicide, in order to close the case.
As a second-rank noblewoman, Ji Man had already been involved in the case when the jade pendant was lost. She knew that Ning Yuxuan had arranged for her to be put in prison in order to keep her under close protection, so she thanked him for it.
Shui Niangzi finally remembered that something was wrong that day - the smell. She was very familiar with the scent on Nie Qingyun's body, but she didn't smell it in the room when Lian Xiang was murdered. Instead, she smelled a scent that only someone who frequently traveled by sea would have.
Yuan Lang's subordinates Zhao Long and Zhao Hu found out that someone under Shen Liancheng named A Qiang suddenly became rich and went to investigate. They confirmed that A Qiang had stolen Ji Man's jade pendant and framed her for the murder.
Yuan Lang asked Zhao Long and Zhao Hu to continue monitoring Shen Liancheng, while he gathered the elders of the former tea gang to wait for the opportunity to defeat Shen Liancheng and restore the tea gang's power.
In a tavern, two men were eating together and talking in whispers, claiming that Shui Niangzi had seen the killer's face that day, but because she was too traumatized, she was in a daze for a few days. Now, she was waiting to identify the killer. The strong man nearby overheard them and quickly paid for his meal, went back to report to Shen Liancheng, and decided to carry out the plan to assassinate Shui Niangzi.
Ning Yuxuan has a good relationship with Shui Niangzi and asks her to help set up a trap to catch the real culprit. Gui Bai offers to protect Shui Niangzi and promises to fight with his life.
One day, when Shui Niangzi was arranging flowers, Shen Liancheng and his men sneak into Shui Yan Ju and attack Shui Niangzi with a knife. Gui Bai shoots out hidden weapons in time, knocks down the attacker, and protects Shui Niangzi. However, Gui Bai is outnumbered and Shui Niangzi is in danger. Gui Bai rushes over to save her at the risk of his own life, and Shui Niangzi is very grateful. Gui Bai is injured while protecting Shui Niangzi, and she quickly applies medicine on his leg, urging him to take care of himself.
Ning Yuxuan feels that it is no longer safe in prison, so he takes Ji Man home and instructs her to hide. He wears official clothes and sets up an ambush in the county yamen, waiting for Shen Liancheng to take the bait.
When Shen Liancheng and his men rush into the county yamen, Ning Yuxuan accuses him of his crimes and advises him to confess, but Shen Liancheng is desperate and leads his men to attack Ning Yuxuan. Although Ning Yuxuan was prepared, Shen Liancheng's men used tricks and shot a poisoned needle into his arm, causing him to become dizzy and unable to see clearly, and fell to the ground.
Ji Man hears the sound of fighting in the county yamen and rushes over to check on Ning Yuxuan. She sees Ning Yuxuan being tortured by Shen Liancheng and rushes to protect him, but Ning Yuxuan protects her instead.
Yuan Lang fights against Shen Liancheng while he is badly injured, and Ning Yuxuan barely survives. Zhao Long and Zhao Hu think that Yuan Lang is too soft-hearted, but Yuan Lang denies it and proposes to revitalize the Tea Gang.
Ji Man takes care of Ning Yuxuan for several days, and when he wakes up, she asks to return home. In Ning Yuxuan's unwillingness, Ji Man takes Mu Xu back to Guihai Ship. Sang Shen has been pretending to be Ji Man on the boat and is very excited to see the real Ji Man coming back, pulling her to see her room.
Ji Man's room is extremely luxurious, filled with flowers, expensive clothes and jewelry, and even the drinking cup is carved from a whole piece of jade. There are also many rare books collected. However, Ji Man still cannot recall her past memories.
Ning Yuxuan misses Ji Man very much, so he finds an excuse to repair the boat and asks Ji Man to come home to live.
