> Let's Shake It! Season 1 Recaps
After Tang Qingye's public declaration of love and the Tang family's uproar, Tang Qingfeng and Tang Qingye swiftly fled the chaotic scene. As they escaped, Tang Qingye formally introduced herself to Tang Qingfeng, confirming she was Abu Chacha. Tang Qingfeng, who had already known this since their time in Nanzhao, proposed they seek refuge at Grandma Deng's house, change her clothes, and then he would send her back to Nanzhao.
He sternly warned her never to return to Chang'an, emphasizing that in the eyes of the world, their perceived sibling relationship made their love forbidden and against human ethics. However, a group of villagers, rallied by Tang Mother's command to capture the "evil demon," pursued them relentlessly. Tang Qingfeng, taking a stand to protect Abu Chacha, urged her to hide and promise not to use her extraordinary powers lest she hurt herself.
Alone, he confronted the villagers, demanding to know who was behind their pursuit. Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Xiao Ge tracked down Grandma Deng, recognizing her as Concubine An's former intimate maid. He pressed her for information about Concubine An's child, a secret he had long sought. Grandma Deng initially lied, claiming Concubine An died in childbirth and both mother and son perished.
Unconvinced, Xiao Ge threatened the life of Grandma Deng's grandson, forcing her to reveal the truth: Tang Qingfeng was indeed Concubine An's son, the First Prince. Unbeknownst to them, Abu Chacha was outside the door and overheard this startling revelation. Overjoyed by the news that Tang Qingfeng was the Prince, she decided to immediately inform him. However, Li Yi, who had also been lurking, burst into Grandma Deng's house.
He confronted Xiao Ge, accusing him of years of hidden agendas and expressing shock that Tang Qingfeng was the true heir. Despite Xiao Ge's pleas for him not to act rashly, Li Yi, in a fit of rage, fatally stabbed Xiao Ge with his sword, then silenced Grandma Deng. Abu Chacha arrived moments too late to intervene.
Seeing the bloodied sword in Li Yi's hand, she knew he was the murderer and fled to warn Tang Qingfeng, while Li Yi set the house ablaze to destroy all evidence. Back with Tang Qingfeng, he was still interrogating the villagers when Xiao Ruyi arrived. She abruptly killed the villagers, chastising them as useless, and then personally engaged Tang Qingfeng in a fight. Tang Qingfeng, weary and heartbroken, offered no resistance, allowing her to strike him.
However, Xiao Ruyi found herself unable to deliver a fatal blow, watching helplessly as he walked away. Later, Li Fu harshly criticized her for being soft-hearted, intensifying her grief and resentment. Wandering through the forest, Xiao Ruyi stumbled upon the dying Xiao Ge amid the burning wreckage of Grandma Deng's house. With his last breath, Xiao Ge told her to seek out Tang Qingye for the truth.
Xiao Ruyi, misinterpreting his words, mistakenly believed Tang Qingye was her father's killer and vowed revenge. Li Yi, desperate to eliminate any witnesses, chased Abu Chacha to a riverbank. He tried to appeal to their past relationship, urging her to forget everything she had seen and heard, but she refused, reminding him that she loved Tang Qingfeng and had witnessed his crimes. Just then, Tang family handles, dispatched by Tang Mother, arrived to capture Tang Qingye.
Abu Chacha, seeing them, called for help, proclaiming Li Yi as the true villain. Enraged, Li Yi killed all the handles. With his sword pointed at Abu Chacha, she was forced to use her strange powers, despite her promise to Tang Qingfeng, injuring Li Yi to protect herself. Tang Qingfeng arrived at that moment, seeing Abu Chacha in her alien form surrounded by dead bodies. His heart heavy with doubt, he suspected her of the killings.
Xiao Ruyi suddenly appeared, intent on avenging her father, and was also injured by Abu Chacha's powers. Witnessing this, Tang Qingfeng's trust in Abu Chacha completely shattered. Heartbroken and desperate, Abu Chacha vehemently explained that Li Yi was the real murderer, but no one believed her, not even Tang Qingfeng. In a fit of despair, she moved to kill Li Yi, intending to remove the obstacle for Tang Qingfeng. Enraged by her recklessness, Tang Qingfeng pointed his sword at her.
In a profound act of love and despair, Abu Chacha threw herself onto his sword. Enduring the agonizing pain, she embraced Tang Qingfeng, reaffirming her love for him without regret, and urged him to remember her true name, Abu Chacha, before dissipating into smoke in his arms. Tang Qingfeng watched, filled with immense regret and powerlessness. That night, Tang Qingfeng rushed to Xingzu village, clinging to the desperate hope of reviving Abu Chacha.
Through a twist of fate, he activated the Eye of the Universe's energy source and merged with its humanoid manifestation. A year passed. Utilizing weapon blueprints provided by Ji Le, Tang Qingfeng developed numerous specialized weapons to combat alien demons. He successfully apprehended several demons, but instead of executing them, he chose to re-educate them, fostering peaceful coexistence with humans, a policy that yielded considerable success.
Tang Qingfeng reported to the Emperor that the reformed demons were now living harmoniously with the citizens of Chang'an. The Emperor was pleased, but Li Yi, ever the antagonist, argued that demons were inherently violent and should be eradicated, openly clashing with Tang Qingfeng. The Emperor ultimately sided with Tang Qingfeng, further fueling Li Yi's jealousy. Later, Li Yi attempted to reconcile with Tang Qingfeng, claiming Abu Chacha's death was a misunderstanding and urging them to cease their rivalry.
In response, Tang Qingfeng produced a sachet Tang Qingye had made for Li Yi, revealing that Grandma Deng had clutched it in her hand as she died, implying Li Yi's involvement. Li Yi, caught off guard and feeling guilty, intensified his animosity towards Tang Qingfeng. Despite a year having passed, Tang Qingfeng still couldn't let go of Abu Chacha.
His internal energy source, now a conscious entity sharing his body, chastised him for his constant drinking, reminding him of his duty to protect himself. Tang Qingfeng was plagued by memories of Abu's disappearance at Xingzu Village. The energy source explained that it had no memory before being activated and merging with Tang Qingfeng, a mystery to both of them, but its sole mission was to protect him. Meanwhile, Xiao Ruyi's hatred for Abu Chacha lingered.
She attempted to destroy Abu Chacha's tombstone to vent her fury, but Tang Qingfeng intervened. He vowed to uncover the truth behind Xiao Ge's death and clear Abu Chacha's name. Xiao Ruyi, incensed that Tang Qingfeng prioritized Abu Chacha over her and her father, declared an unbreakable enmity between the Xiao and Tang families.
Elsewhere, the Emperor ordered the renovation of the Lecture Hall, announcing the imminent arrival of the Nanzhao Princess, who would require a special seat within the hall. Concurrently, Tang Qingfeng received a secret letter from Nanzhao, which he hesitated to open.
