Fight For Love Episode 30 Recap
> Fight For Love Recap
Chu Jin, experiencing life outside Huajing City for the first time, was shocked by the desperate poverty of the common people, who struggled to eat and feared for their lives daily. Witnessing their plight, she felt a strong desire to help. While considering learning medicine, she realized it would take too long, so she decided to open a pharmacy upon returning to Huajing to provide immediate assistance.
She lovingly attended to a little girl's wound, singing a soothing song and telling her that even the bravest people have fears. Her companion, Wanyue, marveled at Chu Jin's many skills, which Chu Jin modestly attributed to her time in Fengling with her sister, Chu Yu. Both reflected on the stark contrast between their privileged lives in Huajing and the suffering of those outside, acknowledging the heavy toll of war on the populace.
Wanyue also worried about Chu Yu and her brother, Chu Linyang, who were fighting on the front lines. Inspired by her sister's past bravery, Chu Jin vowed to follow in Chu Yu's footsteps, doing her utmost to help others, despite feeling less capable. Meanwhile, Lu Qiba and his team, hidden in the hot spring villa, confirmed the location of a secret octagonal crossbow workshop accessible via a zip line from under the kitchen stove.
Lu Qiba noted that the North Qi forces had learned to use military tactics and deception, even stealing his blueprints. Upon hearing reports that the King had captured a Great Sui assassin, whom he intended to sacrifice to the deer god the next day, Lu Qiba's team realized it could be Chu Yu. They immediately sped up their deployment, determined to detonate the workshop before the ceremony to create an escape opportunity for Chu Yu.
Chu Yu, shackled and enduring a whipping, remained defiant. Zhao Yue brought Li Changming to witness Chu Yu's suffering, coercing Li Changming into agreeing to his demands. Li Changming, unable to bear seeing Chu Yu harmed, tearfully conceded and begged Zhao Yue to release Chu Yu. Zhao Yue, enraged that Li Changming, who had never begged anyone before, would do so for Chu Yu, ordered his guards to take Li Changming away.
He then displayed Wei Yun's jade pendant to Chu Yu, mockingly telling her that Wei Yun, in his reckless attempt to infiltrate North Qi with a small team to assassinate Su Can, was now reunited with his entire Wei family in the underworld. This news devastated Chu Yu, causing her immense pain, which pleased Zhao Yue.
He told her that at the next day's sacrificial ceremony, blessed by the deer god, he would grant her a dignified death to join Wei Yun. The following day, King Su Can, confident of victory after allegedly defeating Wei Yun, boasted of conquering more cities and Huajing, intending to unify the world. However, his triumphant march was interrupted by an ambush led by a very-much-alive Wei Yun.
Wei Yun confronted Su Can, who was shocked to find him alive and accused Gongsun Lan of betrayal. Wei Yun declared that any betrayal was a sign of heaven's will and the people's desire. Despite the North Qi forces outnumbering his, Wei Yun rallied his men, affirming his commitment to fight and die with them.
He proclaimed that the people of Great Sui had always valued peace and never coveted others' lands, vowing to use Su Can's blood to honor the Great Sui heroes. Wei Yun then killed Su Can, shouting for the news of the North Qi King's death to be spread throughout the army, causing Su Can's forces to scatter in disarray. Gongsun Lan praised Wei Yun's brilliant "faking death" strategy. Despite his injuries, Wei Yun insisted on rushing to Fengling.
He reminded Gongsun Lan that once the homeland was reclaimed, Gongsun Lan would return to his true identity as Qi Lan of the Sixth Division of the Arsenal Bureau. Meanwhile, in Qingzhou, Shen You, arrogant in his presumed victory, celebrated with other North Qi generals, constantly humiliating the chained and wounded Gu Chusheng by ordering him to fetch wine. Shen You warned the celebrating generals not to underestimate the cunning Great Sui.
Commander Gao, however, dismissed his concerns, declaring Qingzhou subdued and intending to use Gu Chusheng to consecrate their flag when Wei Yun eventually arrived. As Gu Chusheng, covered in wounds and bound by chains, went to fetch wine, he encountered Song Shilan and Song Wenchang, who had infiltrated the city disguised as North Qi soldiers through a secret passage.
They intended to rescue him, but Gu Chusheng instead asked if they were willing to risk everything to reclaim Qingzhou that very night. Back at the celebration, as Gu Chusheng served wine, he and the Song brothers launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting North Qi generals. At that moment, the news of King Su Can's death, relayed by Wei Qiu, spread among the North Qi troops in Qingzhou. Their morale shattered, and they began to flee.
Gu Chusheng rallied the Great Sui soldiers, leading them to retake Qingzhou. When the cornered Commander Gao begged for his life, Gu Chusheng killed him without hesitation. At the sacrificial ceremony, Zhao Yue, holding a cup containing the blood of Chu Yu and Li Changming, invoked the deer god's blessing for North Qi's warriors to unify the land. Just as he finished, a massive explosion rocked the villa.
A report quickly confirmed that the underground octagonal crossbow workshop had been destroyed. This was the signal for Lu Qiba and his team; having successfully destroyed the workshop without harm, they rushed to rescue Chu Yu. Amidst the chaos, Li Changming seized the opportunity to stab Zhao Yue in the chest with a hidden dagger. A flashback revealed that Chu Yu had met Li Changming secretly after being captured.
Chu Yu revealed Zhao Yue's true identity as the son of Princess Yunyang and the Lord of Qin, the mastermind behind the conflict, including the battles of Qingzhou and Fengling. Chu Yu, aware of the danger, had devised a plan to destroy the workshop and distract Zhao Yue. Li Changming, the Eldest Princess of Great Sui, also declared her intention to resolve the consequences of her past actions.
Back in the present, North Qi generals informed Zhao Yue of the workshop's destruction, Su Can's death, and the loss of Qingzhou, urging him to retreat to North Qi to ascend the throne. Zhao Yue, still wanting to personally kill Chu Yu, was convinced to leave.
Li Changming confronted Zhao Yue, vehemently denouncing him as a traitor, rejecting his claim to the Great Sui throne and declaring his ambition a futile dream built on the blood of her people, unblessed by any god. Zhao Yue, defiant, declared that as the victor, he would rewrite history before reluctantly retreating. Chu Yu, exhausted from running and having used a key from Li Changming to remove her shackles, eventually collapsed as her pursuers closed in.
At that critical moment, Wei Yun appeared, rescuing her and carrying her away from the echoing explosions. When Chu Yu regained consciousness and saw Wei Yun, she wept tears of joy, asking if she was dreaming. Wei Yun assured her he was alive, vowing he would crawl back to her no matter what. Overwhelmed with happiness, Chu Yu immediately urged him to rush to Fengling to assist her brother, Chu Linyang.
However, Wei Yun told her that reinforcements from the court had already been dispatched to Fengling, and given their current exhaustion, they would only be a burden. Relieved, Chu Yu sat down with Wei Yun. She expressed her concern about his reckless infiltration into North Qi with so few men, recounting how Zhao Yue's false news of his death had devastated her.
Wei Yun acknowledged that his methods were characteristic of him, just as Chu Yu's proactive nature to carve her own path was characteristic of her. Chu Yu then revealed that during her near-death experience and upon hearing of his supposed demise, she realized there was something she had always wanted to tell him. Wei Yun, unable to conceal his smile, asked if it was the words he had longed to hear.
