The Inextricable Destiny Episode 5 Recap
> The Inextricable Destiny Recap
Rong Yu carefully wrote and illustrated a book, creating imaginative stories about literati and beauties. He Jiuling was engrossed in reading the book while lying on the bed. She greatly admired the literary talents of someone who could write and draw like this. Meanwhile, He Jiuling's sister-in-law was delicately applying medicine to the injuries on He Jiuling's body. Patiently, she tried to convince He Jiuling that Rong Yu had visited the mansion today, bringing gifts for her. However, upon hearing Rong Yu's name, He Jiuling instinctively felt repulsed.
He Jiuling's sister-in-law softly told her that since He Jiuling had returned to the capital, Rong Yu had been silently protecting her. She spoke of Rong Yu as a rare good man. Drawing from her own experience, she mentioned that she and her elder brother had an arranged marriage that turned into love. She believed He Jiuling would also fall in love with Rong Yu during their interactions. With the Qiqiao Festival approaching in a couple of days, He Jiuling remembered her agreement with her sister from Shangzhou to meet on that day. She wanted her father to lift the restriction so she could enjoy the festival and take her sister around the capital. He Jiuling requested her sister-in-law to persuade her father to lift the confinement.
Coincidentally, He Liang was about to accompany Rong Yu outside. Upon hearing He Jiuling's request, Rong Yu asked He Liang to lift the confinement, and on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, He Jiuling eagerly arrived at the marketplace. Rong Yu, disguised as the way he looked on that day in Shangzhou, met He Jiuling, who was initially delighted. However, when Rong Yu removed the bamboo hat from his head, He Jiuling saw his face and once again felt emotional turmoil. Despite Rong Yu's explanations, He Jiuling refused to accept the fact that Rong Yu was the sister she had met in Shangzhou. Crying, she ran away.
He Jiuling ran home in tears, and her senior brother was waiting at the door. She rushed into his arms, crying. Her senior brother was there to bid her farewell. He informed He Jiuling that he had thought of a good way to help her break off the engagement. After careful consideration, Rong Yu made a decision. He went to the palace overnight, sought an audience with the emperor, and obtained the imperial decree allowing the annulment of his marriage to He Jiuling. Rong Yu then went to the He Liang residence, respectfully presenting the divorce letter to He Liang. He Liang thought that Rong Yu had lost interest in He Jiuling. He hinted at the complexities of love and suggested that He Jiuling, being only seventeen years old and growing up in the mountains, did not understand love and affection. Rong Yu explained that it was precisely because he loved her that he set her free. Despite Rong Yu's attempt, He Liang refused to accept the divorce letter.
During dinner, He Liang earnestly advised his daughter, emphasizing that Rong Yu liked her more than she imagined. Encountering a man who could protect He Jiuling like Rong Yu did was not easy, and he warned her not to do anything out of line again. He Jiuling took out a medicine given by her senior brother, claiming that applying this "Heartless" medicine to Rong Yu would make him lose his affection for her. She planned to sneak out but was intercepted by her elder brother Chenzhou.
Rong Yu headed to the palace, and Cheng Chong, an old enemy, noticed and followed him secretly. The guards reported this to Chenzhou. The Crown Prince informed He Jiuling that Rong Yu was planning to go to the Cold Mountain Monastery for meditation. Surprised by this news, He Jiuling realized her plan would be disrupted. She pleaded with the Crown Prince for help. He Liang, who had prepared many delicious dishes for the Crown Prince, observed the Crown Prince's subordinates carrying a large box and leaving in haste. He inquired about the box's contents, but the Crown Prince only mentioned that it was a fresh novelty given to him by He Jiuling and insisted on keeping it sealed. In the outskirts, He Jiuling emerged from the box and hastily caught up with Rong Yu, who was seated in the carriage.
