Fighting for Love Episode 1 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
The story takes place in the Southern Capital city. The sun is bright. In the early morning, as the city gates just open, countless small vendors begin leaving the city to buy and sell goods. Amidst the lively crowd are two spirited figures, Mu Bai and Shang Yizhi. Seeing that the Prince's Mansion is about to hold a birthday banquet, Shang Yizhi specifically came to the market to purchase gifts.
Since they were out for fun, naturally they looked for the liveliest place. Shang Yizhi was attracted by a burst of noise. It was a gambling vendor. A Mai, dressed as a man, took out a large ginseng root as her stake. Shang Yizhi had never seen such a thick ginseng even in the palace, so he decided to bet all the money in his pouch.
Just as Shang Yizhi lost the bet amidst the clamor, several guards appeared, intending to overturn A Mai's stall. Shang Yizhi took advantage of the chaos and quietly took the thousand-year-old ginseng root. He was happily showing off his spoils to Mu Bai when he discovered that the ginseng he had captured was actually a radish.
Shang Yizhi's face instantly changed color in shock, and he immediately chased after A Mai to settle the score, but A Mai had secretly slipped away. Shang Yizhi was played a "scam," and he was fuming with anger. Unable to catch A Mai, he had to go to the Emerald Pavilion to vent his frustration.
Although Shang Yizhi is the heir of Marquis Dingnan's mansion, he was not born to Marquis Dingnan and the princess, but to Marquis Dingnan and an unknown woman. Now, Marquis Dingnan has won glorious military victories fighting in the north and south and holds significant power, also becoming a thorn in the Emperor's side. Shang Yizhi's name was left off the roster of those going to war several times.
Prime Minister Lin was questioned by the Emperor and immediately knelt before the Emperor to explain that it was the Eldest Princess Shenghua who had repeatedly protected Shang Yizhi, which is why his name was not included in the war roster. A Mai had been searching for "Mr. Know-It-All" and heard many people say this person was in the Emerald Pavilion, so she went there multiple times to inquire.
Finally, she accidentally witnessed someone assassinate Shang Yizhi and desperately protected him, ensuring his safety. The madam of the Emerald Pavilion, Chun Niang, saw that she had rendered meritorious service in protecting him, so she made a deal with Shang Yizhi. As long as A Mai could find a way to escort Shang Yizhi back to his mansion, she would tell her where "Mr. Know-It-All" was.
The person A Mai is looking for is Chen Qi, the son of Han Huaicheng. Only Mr. Know-It-All can get precise information about this. That night, A Mai put Shang Yizhi in a cart using her own handcart, preparing to take him to the Prince's Mansion. As a result, they encountered another pursuit on the way, and thanks to A Mai, Shang Yizhi escaped unharmed. To show his gratitude, he specifically settled A Mai in his Marquis mansion.
A Mai dismissed the maids who came to serve her and began to bathe and change. She dressed as a man and mingled among men every day in order to find Chen Qi, her father's murderer. Ten years ago, A Mai witnessed her entire family being massacred. At that time, Chen Qi, the adopted son her father protected with his life, surprisingly took advantage of his father's unpreparedness and killed him with a dagger.
From then on, A Mai vowed to get revenge. Shang Yizhi saw that the window of A Mai's bathing room was not closed. He had been saved by her twice during the day. Shang Yizhi was about to join her in bathing when he discovered that A Mai was actually a woman. He worried that her intentions were not pure, but it also seemed like she had saved him by coincidence.
A maid rushed in to report to Shang Yizhi that Marquis Dingnan had fallen ill, so this matter was temporarily put aside. Marquis Dingnan had just returned to the mansion when he was plotted against, and he was deeply poisoned, directly confined to his bed. Now seeing the Emperor's suspicion growing more severe, he simply called Shang Yizhi over and told him about his background.
