> Resúmenes de A Love So Romantic
Trapped in the abandoned mansion, Su Xiaowan and Gu Yanxi searched for an exit. Su Xiaowan, observing Gu Yanxi, noted he was cold and believed he had caught a chill from falling into the lotus pond earlier. Gu Yanxi, suffering from a fever and chills, mumbled for his "Mother" in his sleep. Su Xiaowan held him close to warm him, reassuring him she was there, and realizing their light source was dimming, understood they had to escape quickly.
They found a small locked door, and Su Xiaowan tried to pick the lock, but it wouldn't open easily, requiring force. Meanwhile, at the Gu Mansion, a servant delivered a letter to A'Ye, informing him that his mother, Madam, would return from her maternal grandmother's place in a few days, much earlier than expected. The servant worried about A'Ye's unfinished homework, as he had recently sneaked out to play Cuju.
Unfazed, A'Ye requested two pots of precious moth orchids to take to his elder brother's room, claiming he sought study advice, not merely attempting to bribe him. Hearing that servants were heading to the abandoned villa to rescue Gu Yanxi, A'Ye quickly joined them. Su Xiaowan cried out for help from inside the mansion. A'Ye heard her voice and shouted back, assuring her that help was on the way. She recognized his voice.
She told him they were at the back door, which was locked, prompting A'Ye to instruct the servants to break it down with a piece of wood. Once they gained entry, they found Gu Yanxi gravely ill. A'Ye ordered the servants to take Gu Yanxi to his room and fetch a physician immediately.
Overhearing the servants address him as "Second Young Master," Su Xiaowan realized that her "Brother A'Ye" was, in fact, Ziqian, the Second Young Master of the Gu family. Surprised, she quickly thanked him and rushed off, eager to check on "Mr. Long Face" (Gu Yanxi). At the Gu Mansion, the housekeeper punished several maids, including Pangya, Qiuxiang, Chunxi, Xiaotao, Sisi, and Dongmei. He accused them of slacking off and causing trouble, stating that Gu Yanxi's illness was their fault.
Pangya received a three-month salary deduction for picking a fight, while the others lost a month's pay, and the "Love Xi Society" was disbanded. Su Xiaowan, overhearing this, initially feared retaliation from the maids and contemplated escaping. However, the maids later approached her in her room, surprisingly grateful. They apologized for their past animosity and recognized her as Gu Yanxi's savior, and consequently, theirs. Su Xiaowan, surprised, downplayed her actions, claiming she merely covered him with a cloak.
The maids insisted her actions had saved his life. They then revealed Gu Yanxi's hidden compassionate side: he had taken Pangya in after her father abandoned her, saved another maid from being sold into a brothel by her gambling father, and granted another leave to care for her sick grandmother, even sending offerings for the funeral. Hearing these stories, Su Xiaowan's stern impression of "Mr. Long Face" softened, as she realized he possessed a kindness she had never known.
Later that evening, Su Xiaowan, still concerned for Gu Yanxi, sneaked into his room after his servant had lit an incense to aid his sleep. She briefly questioned the impropriety of her actions but concluded that not caring for him, given he was injured while saving her, would be "heartless" and unrighteous. She fell asleep by his bedside. The next morning, Gu Yanxi awoke to find her there and asked why she was in his room.
Su Xiaowan, flustered, claimed she was merely cleaning, as the physician had instructed that the room be kept clean for his recovery. As she attempted to leave, Gu Yanxi stopped her by pulling her sleeve. She reminded him of the social etiquette against physical contact between men and women. Gu Yanxi countered, remarking on her apparent closeness to Ziqian, the Second Young Master, and her newfound diligence, which he suspected stemmed from guilt.
Su Xiaowan clarified that she and Ziqian had only met a few times and had only discussed food, nothing more. Feeling frustrated by her unsuccessful attempts to make Gu Yanxi remember, Su Xiaowan overheard Pangya and other maids discussing secret manuals on how to win a man's heart. Believing these "confession strategies" would help her, Su Xiaowan secretly took Pangya's cherished heirloom books.
She tried various methods from the books, including attempting to create a shared pet by introducing a rabbit to Gu Yanxi, hoping they would bond over it. However, this plan backfired spectacularly when Gu Yanxi not only expressed fear of the rabbit but also suggested turning it into "braised rabbit head." Realizing these storybook methods were unreliable and difficult to put into practice, Su Xiaowan sought advice from her grandmother.
She asked if there was a way for two people who outwardly disliked each other—always at odds and finding fault—to eventually fall in love. She described this person as someone who, despite their prickly exterior, "shines like never before" in critical moments and occasionally reveals a "vulnerable" side, making her feel both sympathetic and reliant on him.
Her grandmother playfully teased her about being in love, which Su Xiaowan quickly denied, claiming she was merely studying a scenario from a novel. Her grandmother then offered a simple wisdom: if two people are destined to be together, "no technique is required;" instead, "love is bound to blossom" naturally through frequent interaction, emphasizing the proverb 'the one closest to the water gets the moon first.'
Su Xiaowan was greatly encouraged, realizing her close proximity to Gu Yanxi gave her a significant advantage, and she simply needed to patiently wait for the right opportunity. As Su Xiaowan left Gu Yanxi's room, she encountered Ziqian. He began to explain his earlier deception, but Su Xiaowan, already aware of his identity, interrupted him.
She confidently stated that she understood his reasons for pretending to be an apprentice, attributing it to the loneliness wealthy individuals often experience as often depicted in storybooks, and assured him she bore no ill will. Ziqian then revealed the full truth: the person Su Xiaowan had been searching for all along was not him, but Gu Yanxi.
He explained that the jade pendant she carried was a gift from Gu Yanxi to him when they were children, and it was Gu Yanxi who had suffered memory loss. Ziqian apologized for the misunderstanding, swearing he had not intended to deceive her. Su Xiaowan, far from being angry, was secretly overjoyed.
She immediately began to fantasize about her new prospects as Gu Mansion's young mistress, wondering about the lavish lifestyle, the challenge of managing her weight, and the social obligations. She also pondered how to make Gu Yanxi remember their past engagement, even envisioning a humorous scenario where he might initially dismiss her as a "little liar." Gu Yanxi confided in Ru Ying, revealing that he had recalled fragmented memories of his childhood.
He recounted how Wan'er had once led him to his mother, who was confined and branded "crazy" by others. During their tearful reunion, his mother urgently warned him never to let anyone touch his clothes before guards abruptly interrupted their meeting. Gu Yanxi insisted that his mother was not mad. He also remembered that on that very night, his mother's courtyard caught fire, leading to her death, and Wan'er disappeared in the ensuing chaos.
He speculated that his visit might have been connected to these tragic events. He explained that all the servants from that period were dismissed for incompetence, making it impossible to find anyone to question. He now asked Ru Ying for help in contacting government officials to use official records to locate these former servants, hoping they could shed light on the truth. When Ru Ying asked who was responsible for dismissing the servants, Gu Yanxi identified Lady Ru.
Lady Ru returned to the Gu Mansion, and the servants rushed to greet her. She immediately began to audit the household accounts with a strict demeanor. The housekeeper presented the quarterly expenses, but Lady Ru quickly found discrepancies in the clothing expenditures. She noted that expensive double-sided embroidery was used the previous winter, yet this year's cheaper, single-sided Suzhou embroidery cost twice as much.
When the housekeeper attempted to justify this by claiming he was merely supporting relatives' business, Lady Ru rebuked him for his greed, accusing him of exploiting the Gu Mansion despite its generosity. She ordered him to be given twenty strokes, permanently banished from the Gu Mansion, and never to be hired again. She then issued a stern decree to all staff: anyone caught attempting to deceive or trick others within the mansion, regardless of their status, would face severe punishment.
Ziqian was informed of Lady Ru's return and, reacting with concern, quickly hid his Cuju ball before proceeding to greet her. Lady Ru later presented Yuanshuang with a piece of authentic nephrite jade. Yuanshuang thanked her "Aunt," and Lady Ru then warned her not to seek "fleeting fame and fortune" by getting involved with the royal family, cautioning that "the grace of the royal family is not easily obtained" and could lead to trouble.
