> The Inextricable Destiny Recap
Rong Yu got off the carriage, and when he looked up, he saw He Jiuling extending her hand with a smile, offering her support. Rong Yu was taken aback for a moment, but he eventually accepted He Jiuling's assistance. Rong Yu asked He Jiuling what she was doing there. He Jiuling explained that she had heard he was leaving and wanted to accompany him for a farewell meal. She suggested having a private meal for just the two of them, saying they could still be friends in the future.
Rong Yu agreed to her request, and they sat down at a simple local restaurant. Rong Yu carefully peeled many peanuts for He Jiuling. While enjoying the meal, He Jiuling thought of the peeled chestnuts he had given her during their journey to Shangzhou. She realized that Rong Yu had been the one who had prepared them. He Jiuling felt guilty for the way she had treated him and the embarrassing situations she had put him through. Apologetically, she thanked Rong Yu. Rong Yu also asked for her forgiveness, admitting that he might have caused her discomfort.
Changing the subject, He Jiuling inquired about the Astrology Hall, and Rong Yu began to tell her the story of the late emperor and empress, a touching and tragic tale. He Jiuling was moved by the story but still preferred the book she had mentioned before, saying that the scholar's book was her favorite. She showed Rong Yu the book she had brought with her, disappointed that the scholar hadn't updated it recently. Rong Yu, seeing the book he had created, hinted with a meaningful smile that as long as she liked it, there would always be more.
Their meal arrived, and He Jiuling seized the opportunity to discreetly sprinkle some "Heartless" powder into Rong Yu's wine glass. After apologizing earlier, she wanted to express her gratitude and didn't know if they would meet again. They raised their glasses and drank to each other. Today was the Lantern Festival in town. He Jiuling and Rong Yu played with lanterns, guessed riddles, and tried to win rings. They enjoyed themselves immensely. Suddenly, a flowerpot fell from above and hit Rong Yu's back. He Jiuling rushed to help him tend to the wound and gave him some golden wound medicine from her home.
She playfully scolded him, saying that he was more fragile than a girl, like tofu, breaking at a touch. Rong Yu listened to her gentle reprimands and smiled, even when she asked him why he was smiling. Rong Yu explained that, as the owner of the Astrology Hall, he always needed to appear cheerful, but today he was genuinely happy, which was why he was smiling. Reluctantly, they parted ways, thinking it was their final farewell. However, at that moment, Rong Yu saw an arrow flying toward He Jiuling. Without hesitation, he stepped forward to shield her, taking the arrow in his back.
He Jiuling turned to find that it was Cheng Chong who had come to attack them. She fought Cheng Chong with her whip, but despite her courage, she couldn't withstand the combined attack of Cheng Chong and two others. He Jiuling was injured by Cheng Chong's sword and lost consciousness. Rong Yu knelt by her side and held her in his arms, weeping bitterly. He had been willing to let her go, yet he couldn't avoid the tragedy of her leaving him. Grief-stricken and covered in He Jiuling's blood, Rong Yu fell to the ground.
A month later, Rong Yu still hadn't awakened. He Jiuling was slowly recovering, but her arm remained weak. Her family was worried for her. With the weather turning cold, a doctor suggested moving Rong Yu to a place with heated floors. With the company of He Shan and Zhan Ping, Rong Yu was taken to another residence. He Jiuling ventured out to buy a knife and encountered the siblings from the Zhongyong Duke's house. They were aware that He Jiuling's arm was crippled and took the opportunity to exact revenge by physically assaulting her.
Meanwhile, as Rong Yu's carriage passed by, he saw He Jiuling lying on the ground, beaten. He stopped and, to his shock, learned that He Jiuling had been unconscious for over a month. Upon hearing this, He Jiuling couldn't bear the thought of Rong Yu never waking up. She couldn't help but express her fear of living a life without him. He Liang, her father, comforted her and told her to bandage her wounds properly. He promised that when she was healed, he would tell her everything.
