> The Story of Pearl Girl Recap

As a pearl maiden, Duan Wu wanted to sell her pearls for the highest price, so she needed to shine as brightly as the pearls themselves. Among a group of dancers, she seemed inconspicuous, surrounded by graceful beauties. Since there had been no prior rehearsals, Duan Wu struggled to perform the dance smoothly. Realizing she was starting to embarrass herself, she focused on finding a solution and noticed the drummer in the band nearby.

Duan Wu had once observed a dancer who moved beautifully to the rhythm of the drums. Inspired, she gracefully approached the drummer and took up a small drum, beginning to play. Her dance was innovative and captivating, quickly drawing attention. The other women, realizing they couldn't compete, quietly withdrew. After the dance, the pearl maiden began selling pearls.

Duan Wu was determined to fetch a high price for her pearls, even dropping a drop of her own blood onto one, calling it a "blood pearl. " This type of blood pearl was highly valued for its supposed ability to ward off evil—one pearl, one life. Yan Zijing offered six million for the pearl, but Duan Wu knelt on the ground, unwilling to hand it over.

She had made a blood oath with her supervisor: if she couldn't sell it for seven million, she would face a brutal death. For the sake of herself and her close friends, she had to take this risk. Zhang Jinran had overheard Duan Wu's conversation with her supervisor and, seeing the tears in her eyes, felt compassion. He immediately agreed to buy the pearl for seven million.

The crowd gasped in surprise, and Zhang Jinran instructed his subordinates to give the owner a gold leaf, concluding the transaction. Duan Wu approached Zhang Jinran to thank him. He invited her to walk around with him. One was a noble scion, while the other was a lowly pearl slave. Their perspectives were naturally worlds apart. Duan Wu was captivated by Zhang Jinran's description of the bustling Chang'an, which held all the world's treasures.

He told her of an ancient wishing tree in Chang'an: if one sincerely made a wish and hung it on the tree, it would come true. Duan Wu had never heard such a wonderful thing. When Zhang Jinran learned that her greatest wish was for "freedom," he couldn't help but sigh.

He helped her write her wish on a card, hang it on the tree, and blessed her: may her heart be like a clear mirror, and all her wishes come true. Meanwhile, Yan Zijing quietly met with Cui Wu. During the auction, Cui Wu had received a gold leaf. Although he knew the pearl was worth a fortune, he couldn't sleep well, uncertain of Zhang Jinran's background.

Yan Zijing informed him that the person who bought the pearl was a sworn brother of the King of Ying, trusted by the authorities. He had recently left the capital for the south, apparently on a mission, and there was a fierce conflict between the King of Ying and the King of Tan. Given the current situation, the King of Ying had the upper hand.

To protect himself, Cui Wu had no choice but to agree to sell all the pearls from the auction to Yan Zijing at a low price. Meanwhile, Duan Wu and La La were sent to Cui Wu's room. Faced with this villain, Duan Wu stood her ground. However, Cui Wu was armed with a knife. Fortunately, the matron arrived just in time. Cui Wu ordered the matron to kill Duan Wu, but unexpectedly, the matron ended his life instead.

With Cui Wu dead, the matron desperately pulled Duan Wu to escape. However, pursuers chased them relentlessly. The matron sacrificed her life to push Duan Wu onto a boat, telling her that she was her mother and had wanted to save her for years. Now, even in death, she could finally close her eyes. Duan Wu gained her freedom but lost her mother at the same time. Overwhelmed with despair, the boat drifted until it collided with a larger vessel. Fortunately, the people on board were Zhang Jinran, and Duan Wu and her brother were saved.
