Demon Girl Episode 8 Recap
> Demon Girl Recap
You Tong was not overwhelmed by happiness, and still remembered the true meaning of love in his heart. He recounted a past event. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, a young dart escort named You Yuan was ambushed by mountain bandits while on an escort mission. In a hurry, he took the escorted goods and climbed down a cliff, inadvertently entering a hidden cave.
It was in this cave that You Yuan met the love of his life. Pian Pian woke up from hibernation. When You Yuan saw the girl appear from a snowball in front of him, he was not afraid; instead, his face was full of concern. Two souls accidentally connected. Pian Pian revealed her true form and killed the bandits who followed. Her unusual appearance did not make You Yuan distance himself from her.
A year later, their love child was born. The child slowly grew up, but because of Pian Pian's identity, the couple often moved to hide who they were. Whenever this happened, Pian Pian felt guilty, thinking it was she who prevented her family from settling down and finding happiness. Therefore, she chose to leave, not wanting her husband and son to be displaced any longer.
Pian Pian thought this would bring You Yuan happiness, but things turned out contrary to her wishes. To find her, You Yuan wandered with their child for several years, having no fixed abode. When You Yuan saw his wife sitting by the pond in the mountains where they first met, he was already gravely ill. In his last moments, You Yuan fulfilled his wish and closed his eyes.
The departure of her beloved made Pian Pian lose the will to live. She abandoned her young child, embraced You Yuan's corpse, and plunged into the deep pond. Seeing You Tong's eyes, Nie Qingcheng guessed that this was the love story of his parents.
You Tong said he wasn't trying to gain sympathy, but rather wanted Nie Qingcheng to understand that sometimes what one believes is the best gift for a loved one can actually cause greater harm to the other person. Just like his mother leaving for love, it ultimately brought lifelong pain to both of them. Nie Qingcheng seemed to understand something, turned around, and hurried towards the Ming Residence.
Seeing Nie Qingcheng's retreating figure, You Tong felt a pang of pain in his heart. The entire Ming Residence was preparing for the young master's wedding, filled with a festive atmosphere, but Ming Xia alone sat silently on the sofa. Ming Xia hadn't slept all night, Nie Qingcheng's image constantly appearing in his mind. He kept thinking about Nie Qingcheng's words, which clearly hinted at an unspeakable secret.
Regardless, Ming Xia decided he had to find Nie Qingcheng again and ask her what made her change her mind. As he rushed towards the Nie Residence, Nie Qingcheng, panting, was running towards him from the opposite direction. After experiencing stormy waters, their little boat of love continued to sail steadily towards happiness. Jiang Xuewu was trying on her wedding dress, while Fang Yaqing praised her continuously from the side.
Just then, the butler brought news that the young master was with Nie Qingcheng again. Jiang Xuewu didn't even bother to take off her wedding dress and ran out onto the street, where she saw Ming Xia holding Nie Qingcheng's hand, asking the neighbors to witness their pledge of love. This was something no words could reverse. Jiang Xuewu could only take off the veil from her head and place it on Nie Qingcheng's head.
A mournful "Congratulations" conveyed all the pain and sorrow in her heart. Fang Yaqing's joy was ultimately short-lived and came to nothing. When there are gains in love, there are often setbacks in career. Due to Nan Batian's accidental death, the "Queen of Flowers" election was suspended, and other beauty pageants took its place. Nie Qingcheng thus became an outdated beauty and was discarded by advertising companies. You Tong bought the largest storefront in Shanghai's most prosperous area.
He planned to establish a dance studio, specializing in developing children's interest in dance, and the instructor would naturally be the exceptionally skilled Nie Qingcheng. However, You Tong did not reveal this himself; instead, his servant A Xiang was sent to hire Nie Qingcheng. He hoped Nie Qingcheng could establish a career through this and be able to hold her head high within the Ming family in the future.
Jiang Xuewu, who seemed to be able to pick up and let go easily, was unwilling to admit defeat just yet. Unfavorable in love, she focused wholeheartedly on her work, intending to open branch hospitals and become a powerful woman on the Shanghai Bund. However, the recent opening of several Western hospitals caused Jiren Hospital to lose a large number of clients.
Jiang Xuewu, being highly skilled and courageous, decided to perform craniotomy in public to expand her influence and attract clients, proving her capabilities. Meanwhile, the nouveau riche Young Master Zhou Hengli, who had once pursued Jiang Xuewu only to be severely rejected, now had an idea. He thought that with both her love life and career going poorly, Jiang Xuewu would compromise herself to him. But she was once again rejected with Jiang Xuewu's sarcastic remarks.
On the day of the surgery, a sterile room enclosed by plastic sheets was set up in the hospital courtyard. Jiang Xuewu performed the surgery live in front of reporters. She knew that the reporters all wanted to see her fail, and a patient's death would be big news. Therefore, Jiang Xuewu absolutely could not afford any mistakes, which would ruin Jiren Hospital's reputation. However, Young Master Zhou Hengli deliberately set off firecrackers at this critical moment.
His scheme was simply for Jiren Hospital to go bankrupt, forcing Jiang Xuewu to seek his help for her survival. Unfortunately for him, Jiang Xuewu was not affected in the slightest, and the surgery was successfully completed.
