Miss The Dragon Episode 27 Recap
> Miss The Dragon Recap
Upon hearing sounds of fighting in the courtyard, Qing Qing hurried over, observing from outside the room as Long Yan helped Jin remove poison. She noted that the Dragon King truly only showed gentleness towards Chenyue. After the Mandrake poison was successfully removed, Jin confessed to Chenyue her deep guilt, having mistakenly regarded Han Xiyun as her benefactor and committing countless wrongs for him. Chenyue simply comforted her, assuring Jin that she was not alone and still had her.
Later, Long Yan attended to an injury Chenyue sustained during her fight with Jin. Chenyue, sensing his constant presence, playfully questioned if he was watching her every minute. When he insisted it was his duty, she pressed for other reasons, feeling he had made her wound hurt and needed to alleviate the pain. Chenyue then asked Long Yan to take her to the city wall to watch fireworks again.
He gently declined, noting the late hour and her need for rest, but promised to stay by her side until she fell asleep. As she drifted off, Chenyue hoped to dream of fireworks. In her dream, she found herself on the city wall with Long Yan, admiring the beautiful fireworks. She expressed her fondness for fallen flowers, fireflies, and the fireworks themselves.
She then wondered if he would leave her upon waking, to which Long Yan replied that it was just a dream and she would forget it. Deciding to embrace the transient nature of the dream, she boldly kissed him. Long Yan, savoring the warmth of the moment, embraced her tightly and returned her kiss. The next morning, Chenyue woke with a vague sense of having had a wonderful dream, though she could not recall any specific details.
Meanwhile, Han Xiyun experienced severe pain, his symptoms indicating an addiction to Mandrake, which he had contracted after consuming a Life-saving Pill. He was advised to return to Dongluo immediately to take new Life-saving Pills to stop his suffering, vowing to thoroughly investigate how he had taken the pill once he recovered. Concurrently, Jin, having obtained a map from Chenyue, headed to Tiger’s Howl Valley.
She had already investigated the valley's history, learning that seven years prior, it had been a disputed territory on the border of four countries. Rumors of hidden secret treasures of the former dynasty had sparked a conflict, though the Feng Army, then guarding the border, had not been involved in the initial struggle. Chenyue encouraged Jin to seek the truth for herself. Upon reaching Tiger’s Howl Valley, Jin found evidence of a fierce battle and located her father's skeletal remains.
Next to them was a blood-written letter, Jin Ge’s last words. The letter revealed that Jin Ge, a guard of the King of Dongluo, had been sent to find the secret treasures. Just as he located them and prepared to leave, his group was ambushed by the Feng Army, who were disguised by Han Xiyun. Outnumbered, Jin Ge was stabbed through the chest.
Unbeknownst to his attacker, his heart was naturally on his right side, and the wound did not kill him. When he regained consciousness, he discovered all his comrades dead and the Feng Army packing up the treasures. He overheard their leader, the Eldest Prince, discussing bribing ministers to secure the Crown Prince's throne with the gold. The Eldest Prince then ordered the bodies burned, but a missing body count revealed Jin Ge’s escape.
Knowing Jin Ge had an only daughter, Jin, the Eldest Prince planned to control Jin Ge through her. Jin Ge, severely wounded and knowing he would not survive, wrote the letter to reveal the truth and protect Jin, hoping she would see it one day. Jin Ge explained that he chose not to fight to the death to ensure his daughter's safety, believing that if his fate remained unknown, they would not dare harm Jin.
Jin, upon reading her father’s tragic account, vowed to repay Han Xiyun for all he had done. Meanwhile, Qing Qing diligently cared for Xue Qianxun. She found herself shy and flustered around him, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor, ever since his profound declaration of affection. Observing his improving complexion, she felt relieved, but noticed his supply of Three Pearl Leaf Tea was running low.
Knowing the Star Lord who provided the tea required a feather in exchange, Qing Qing discreetly prepared to pluck one of her own, an act that caused her immense pain. Xue Qianxun, arriving unexpectedly, sensed her distress and demanded to know the cause. When she confessed to harming herself by pulling out her feathers to obtain the tea for him, he was deeply pained and angered by her sacrifice.
He pulled her into a warm embrace, forbidding her from ever hurting herself again in such a manner. Qing Qing, moved by his concern, returned his embrace. Later, Han Xiyun, still suffering from the Mandrake addiction, was confronted by Jin. He berated her as a "good-for-nothing" and ordered her to leave. Jin, however, calmly stated that she knew a way to stop his pain.
As Han Xiyun desperately pleaded for help, Jin delivered a fatal stab, fulfilling her promise to avenge her father. Just as she achieved her revenge, Han Xiyun's subordinate stabbed Jin. Jin fought with all her might to die with him, finally feeling no regret, though she knew she would never be able to see Chenyue again.
At the General’s Mansion, Chenyue received news that the Crown Prince of Dongluo had been assassinated by his own guard while leaving Wind City, and the assassin’s body had been torn into pieces, making identification impossible. Chenyue immediately rushed to the scene where the Crown Prince had been attacked. The area was empty, but she found a small smiley face drawing left behind in a corner.
Recognizing it as Jin’s mark, Chenyue understood that Jin had indeed carried out the assassination. A flashback showed a past encounter where Jin introduced herself to Chenyue as “Jin,” and Chenyue introduced herself as “Feng Chenyue,” agreeing to go hunting together the next day. Though saddened by Jin’s apparent fate, Chenyue found comfort in the realization that Jin was finally free from the control of others.
