Oh! My Emperor Season 1 Episode 1 Recap
> Oh! My Emperor Season 1 Recap
Luo Feifei, a brilliant 20-year-old trainee surgeon at Sainte-Marie's Hospital, found herself exhausted after a continuous 20-hour shift when she was called to perform another important suture on a patient in Room 10. Feeling completely worn out, she reluctantly checked her "Fortune Trend Today" app which, ironically, showed "Love Fortune: Five Stars" but warned to "Be alert when in outdoors activities."
She cleaned up and headed to the operating room, but the eerie silence and emptiness of the place made her feel uneasy. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her. Startled, Feifei instinctively executed an over-the-shoulder throw, knocking the person to the ground. To her dismay, the man she had thrown was none other than Jiacheng, the popular singer she admired.
Feifei immediately apologized profusely and, as a surgeon, assessed his injury, remarking that it might now require internal medicine or even an orthopedic surgeon rather than just a simple suture. Jiacheng, who had suffered an injury to his hand, graciously accepted her apology. He mentioned he needed to attend a show at the airport later.
Feifei, worried his injury would impact his performance, then enthusiastically revealed that she was the president of his fan club in the three northeastern provinces of China. Delighted by her devotion, Jiacheng offered her VIP tickets to his concert that very night, urging her to attend. Feifei, thrilled, readily accepted. After Jiacheng left, Feifei rushed to prepare herself, applying a special facial mask and excitedly anticipating the concert.
Determined to make it, Feifei, still in her casual clothes, hailed a taxi to the Workers' Stadium. En route, the taxi driver suddenly braked after hitting someone at a traffic light. The driver insisted on taking the injured person to the hospital, leaving Feifei stranded. Without a moment to lose, Feifei grabbed a nearby bicycle and pedaled frantically towards the stadium. However, she accidentally collided with a construction site, sending her sprawling and knocking her unconscious.
Just as she fell, the sky illuminated with the rare Ophiuchus meteor shower, and a mysterious bright light emanated from her chest. Meanwhile, in the Zodiac State, the Emperor of Capricornus, Beitang Yi, who possessed a petrifaction skill, was engaged in a lively water polo match in a candlelit pond, cheered on by his concubines and palace maids.
Observing the game from a nearby pavilion was Su Xunxian, the royal businessman of Gemini, proficient in hundreds of languages, who found the spectacle utterly boring. When Beitang Moran, the Prince Chen of Aquarius and the Emperor's uncle, known for his precognition skill, arrived, Su Xunxian complained about being invited to such a waste of time. Beitang Moran calmly suggested he had invited Su Xunxian to admire the new daisies in the palace, a hobby they supposedly shared.
As Beitang Moran settled down for tea, a water polo ball, accidentally thrown by Beitang Yi, struck his teacup. For a fleeting moment, a flicker of annoyance crossed Beitang Moran's face before he regained his composure. As he picked up the ball, the Ophiuchus meteor shower appeared in the sky, and a vision of Luo Feifei, dressed in ancient attire, flashed through his mind. He then calmly tossed the ball back into the pond.
At that very moment, Luo Feifei suddenly surfaced from the pond. Disoriented and believing she had just been in a car accident, she clung tightly to Beitang Yi, mistaking him for Jiacheng due to their striking resemblance. Unfamiliar with this strangely dressed woman, Beitang Yi reacted instinctively, performing an over-the-shoulder throw that rendered Feifei unconscious once more. Feifei's bizarre attire immediately drew the attention of the court.
Ministers, including Bai Wuchen, the Minister of Rituals of Virgo with telekinetic powers, and Zhang Tianzheng, the Imperial Astronomer of Libra with compulsion skill, debated her identity, deeming her suspicious and possibly an assassin. Mei Daren, Minister of Revenue of Taurus and an expert at actuarial science, even offered an unsolicited observation about her laced boots. When Beitang Yi asked his officials for their counsel, he quickly decided to have her beheaded.
However, Beitang Moran, having sensed something unusual about Feifei, intervened. He claimed Feifei was merely a dancing girl from his mansion who had accidentally fallen into the water and requested her release, assuring the Emperor he would take responsibility. Beitang Yi, skeptical, questioned Beitang Moran's motives, accusing him of protecting someone suspected of rebellion. Unfazed, Beitang Moran reminded the Emperor that he held military power, daring Beitang Yi to challenge his authority.
Faced with Beitang Moran's resolute stance, Beitang Yi, though angered, was left with no choice but to begrudgingly spare Feifei's life, warning his uncle that she might not be so lucky next time. After Beitang Moran departed with Feifei, Beitang Yi's nose began to bleed from simmering resentment. He confessed to his attendant, Dehai, that he was not a child to be fooled by Beitang Moran's "dancing girl" excuse.
He expressed frustration that despite Prince Chen's reputation as a romantic gentleman, his spies had never reported him having a "special preference" for any woman, and lamented that his uncle's control over the military remained a significant burden on his rule. The Emperor tasked Dehai to find Fang Jian, the Guard Commander for the emperor of Scorpio with rebouncing skill, intending to discuss a strategy to reclaim military power. Meanwhile, Mei Daren had already approached Fang Jian as he was training, informing him of the Emperor's deep concern about Prince Chen and hinting at the challenging task ahead.
