Let's Shake It! Season 1 Episode 10 Recap
> Let's Shake It! Season 1 Recap
Tang Qingfeng, weakened by the freezing Hantan, collapsed after failing to find the necessary herb. An old man, later identified as the former Nanzhao Protector General Duan Fei, discovered Tang Qingfeng and, recognizing a unique gouyu on him, brought him away for aid. Meanwhile, Tang Qingye, still distressed, thrashed a tree in frustration, only to discover it was a Ryunisian immigrant. She confided her emotional turmoil, admitting her confusion about her feelings for Tang Qingfeng.
The tree noted her state was similar to Ji Le's past infatuation with a human and began to tell Ji Le's love story, but Ji Le violently intervened to silence him. Soon after, a report reached Ji Le that Tang Qingfeng was missing, greatly alarming Tang Qingye, who insisted he must be in danger, contrary to Ji Le's belief that he had given up.
Upon waking, Tang Qingfeng thanked Duan Fei and expressed his renewed determination to retrieve the herb from Hantan. Duan Fei revealed that Ji Le had tricked him, as there was no such herb in the lake, and advised him against going. Tang Qingfeng, suspecting Duan Fei had a way to help, knelt and pleaded for a cure for Tang Qingye. Duan Fei demurred, citing his inability to enter Ji Le's territory.
He then asked Tang Qingfeng about his lineage, specifically if he was from the Li family, and closely examined the gouyu around Tang Qingfeng's neck. Before Duan Fei could explain the jade's significance, Tang Qingye arrived, calling out for Tang Qingfeng. They rushed to each other, embracing in relief. Witnessing their reunion, Duan Fei pondered that perhaps it was better for Tang Qingfeng to live unaware of certain truths.
Tang Qingfeng sternly told Tang Qingye never to endanger herself for anyone again, which deeply moved her. She asked if he would still care for her in the same way if she were no longer his sister. When Tang Qingfeng pressed her to voice her true feelings, Tang Qingye grew flustered and quickly changed the subject, expressing concern for Duo Miaomiao and Xiao Ruyi, who were still trapped in the Prince's Palace.
Tang Qingfeng suggested they seek help from Ji Le, believing she had knowledge of their adversaries. As they discussed their next steps, Duo Miaomiao frantically ran past, pursued by soldiers, shouting that Xiao Ruyi was in grave danger, trapped in the palace dungeon. Tang Qingfeng immediately engaged the pursuers in combat. Just as the fighting intensified, Ji Le appeared, using her staff to repel the soldiers.
She issued a dire warning, stating that the Xingzu village would no longer interfere in their affairs and anyone who dared to trespass again would be killed without mercy. Duan Fei, recognizing Ji Le after thirty years, approached her with overwhelming emotion, expressing his deep longing and regret, pleading for her forgiveness and offering his remaining life to make amends.
Ji Le, however, remained cold and unforgiving, striking him down and reaffirming that she would never forgive him, vowing to "kill once" every time they met. Tang Qingfeng quickly helped the bleeding Duan Fei to a nearby tree to rest. Tang Qingfeng then voiced his anxiety over his family's wrongful accusation in the Nanzhao case. Duan Fei revealed that the people of Nanzhao were not human but "Flying Immortals," extraterrestrial beings.
Tang Qingfeng, recalling his recent encounters, found himself believing this incredible truth. Duan Fei then led them to a crashed spaceship, explaining that the recent turmoil in Nanzhao was due to these alien invaders. Worried that her own alien identity might be exposed, Tang Qingye emphasized that not all "Flying Immortals" were malicious, citing Ji Le as an example of a good alien. Duan Fei then shared his tragic love story with Ji Le.
Years ago, during a Nanzhao rebellion, he was tasked with escorting a Nanzhao princess and young prince who were part of a marriage alliance to Tang Du. Before leaving, he promised Ji Le they would travel the world together upon his return. However, he lost the princess en route and spent years searching for her, only to find her deceased. By the time he returned to Nanzhao, Ji Le had assumed the position of patriarch, a role that restricted her.
Their love was thus tragically unfulfilled, leading to Ji Le's enduring resentment. Tang Qingfeng questioned why Ji Le wouldn't fight against the imposter Nanzhao King. Duan Fei explained that as a clan leader, Ji Le had to prioritize her people. Duan Fei concluded by stating his only wish was to be near Ji Le in his remaining days, even if she continued to hate him, and expressed his hope that Tang Qingfeng would succeed in clearing his family's name.
Meanwhile, Tang Qingye and Duo Miaomiao conspired to steal the spaceship before the Nanzhao King could use it, planning to return to Duo Xing. Duo Miaomiao asserted that Tang Qingfeng would only be a hindrance, so they needed to get rid of him. Tang Qingye reluctantly agreed and knocked Tang Qingfeng unconscious. As she departed, she looked back at him, vowing to restore his family's honor before they would part ways forever.
Entering the Prince's palace dungeon, Tang Qingye and Duo Miaomiao were astonished to discover it was, in fact, a hidden spaceship. Inside, they found numerous clones of imperial relatives and officials, including Xiao Ruyi and Tang Jizhong, confirming their suspicion: the Nanzhao King's ultimate goal was to covertly replace the entire Li Tang dynasty with his own people. Suddenly, Duo Miaomiao was ensnared and pinned to the wall by a mysterious vine.
The Nanzhao King then revealed himself to Tang Qingye as Ali, her childhood friend, and invited her to join his pioneering team. Tang Qingye questioned Ali about his arrival on Earth and the cloning operation. Ali explained that he had crashed on Earth after his own spaceship experienced a malfunction. While recovering, he stumbled upon the wreckage of the Star River, rescued several surviving prisoners, and subsequently created Gene Variants.
Duo Miaomiao urgently warned Tang Qingye not to trust Ali, accusing him of violating interstellar law. Tang Qingye, however, dismissed Duo Miaomiao, silencing him, and continued listening to Ali. Ali then offered Tang Qingye a tempting proposition: the chance to return to Duo Xing and jointly control Earth for vast profit. Swayed by the offer, Tang Qingye eagerly accepted his invitation.
Ali then commanded Tang Qingye to kill Tang Qingfeng, explaining that Tang Qingfeng's acute intelligence could unravel their plot to replace the Tang court officials and seize control of Datang. Sensing Tang Qingye's hesitation, Ali warned her not to develop feelings for humans, reminding her that she was from Duo Xing and such a relationship would be futile.
Tang Qingye feigned agreement, then countered with her own condition: Ali must spare Duo Miaomiao and Xiao Ruyi's lives, promising to deliver Tang Qingfeng's head in return. Suspecting her true intentions, Ali retorted that if she failed, he would personally kill Duo Miaomiao and Xiao Ruyi. Unaware of this dark pact, Tang Qingfeng frantically searched for Tang Qingye and eventually found her. As heavy rain began, he quickly pulled her into a small, dilapidated hut for shelter.
In her hurried movements, Tang Qingye inadvertently dropped a concealed "killing tool," her momentary panic evident. Tang Qingfeng, noting the cold, decided to go out and gather firewood to warm her. Before leaving, he tenderly tapped her nose. This small, affectionate gesture made Tang Qingye's heart pound, deepening her reluctance to carry out Ali's chilling command. Meanwhile, Duo Miaomiao, still trapped, mournfully reflected that Tang Qingye had driven herself into a corner, facing a stark choice between Tang Qingfeng's life and her own.
