Cao Xuanxuan's Love Journey Episode 1 Recap
> Cao Xuanxuan's Love Journey Recap
Zhou Na was reading a book called Yan City Chronicles. Suddenly, she fainted, and when she woke up, she found a man sitting by her bedside. Mistaking him for a rogue, she hit him and fled the room. When she ran into the courtyard, she noticed that everything around her was completely different from her era. The people in the courtyard were all dressed in ancient clothing. Seeing Cao Xuanxuan, everyone quickly gathered around her.
Cao Xuanxuan had no time to think and assumed she had been kidnapped. She tried to escape but was eventually stopped. Unfamiliar with her surroundings, Cao Xuanxuan grabbed a yamen officer's sword and held it to a man's neck, forcing him to reveal the truth. However, she was knocked unconscious from behind. Cao Xuanxuan woke up in the room again. She tried to sneak out by climbing through the window.
During her escape, she began to realize that she might have traveled through time. Cao Xuanxuan’s sudden awakening disrupted many people’s plans. It turned out that Cao Xuanxuan’s spirit had been sabotaged, causing her to fall into a coma. The second wife of the Guo family wanted to marry off her distant relative to Cao Xuanxuan’s husband. However, the head of the Guo family, feeling guilty toward the Cao family and Cao Xuanxuan, decided not to harm her further.
Exhausted after running through the vast courtyard, Cao Xuanxuan returned to her room to eat something. Guo Zijie appeared suddenly, startling her. The two accidentally fell together, and Guo Zijie even kissed Cao Xuanxuan. At that moment, members of the Guo family rushed in. From their conversation, Cao Xuanxuan learned that she was a child bride. Disdainfully, she wanted to leave. However, as she reached the door, she overheard that her husband was Guo Zijie.
She realized that she had traveled into the book Yan City Chronicles. Determined to return to modern society, she began searching for the book everywhere. While searching for clues about Yan City Chronicles, Cao Xuanxuan decided to enjoy herself first. She went out but ended up being dragged into a brothel by two men who recognized her.
The next day, after waking up from drunkenness, Guo Zijie angrily scolded her for wandering around recklessly and decided to take her to the yamen. An imperial inspector arrived in Yan City to conduct an investigation. To prove his capability, Guo Zijie held a court session, attracting a large audience. However, the cases brought to him were all trivial matters, which he felt did not showcase his skills. Suddenly, a subordinate reported an unusual case.
A woman named Zhao Xiaolin claimed that her husband had been taken away by a fox spirit. She described the entire process of her husband’s disappearance and brought along two of his friends as witnesses. The case seemed bizarre to everyone. The imperial inspector found the story absurd, and Guo Zijie, noticing his reaction, ordered Zhao Xiaolin and the two friends to be detained before quickly leaving to consult books.
Guo Zijie’s hesitation in resolving the case caused public doubt about his abilities. Even Cao Xuanxuan scolded him for his incompetence. While searching through the books, Cao Xuanxuan found an untitled book. Guo Zijie treated it as a treasure, and during their conversation, Guo Zijie suddenly had an idea and named the book Yan City Chronicles. As Guo Zijie delayed the verdict, the audience grew restless, and the imperial inspector became impatient.
With no progress, Cao Xuanxuan stepped forward to analyze the case, claiming she could solve it within five days. She made a deal with Guo Zijie: if she succeeded, she would get Yan City Chronicles. The next day, when Guo Zijie was about to resume the case, Cao Xuanxuan stopped him, insisting they visit the crime scene together. As they walked through the streets, they arrived at a crime scene where a female coroner was conducting an autopsy.
The coroner identified the victim’s husband as the murderer, but the accused vehemently denied it. Just then, the coroner’s grandfather arrived and confirmed that the husband was the killer. Since Guo Zijie needed a coroner for the investigation, he wanted to bring the female coroner along. However, upon hearing Guo Zijie’s reputation, she walked away disdainfully. While on the street, Cao Xuanxuan noticed a Rubik’s Cube and suspected that there might be other time travelers.
She also saw a notice posted by the yamen recruiting people. To test for time travelers, she decided to use a Rubik’s Cube competition as a recruitment method.
