Oh My Lord Episode 9 Recap
> Oh My Lord Recap
After leaving Bai Li's mansion in a fit of rage and believing he was responsible for her father Chen Pingzhi's death, Chen Youyou found herself homeless and distraught. She was soon captured by human traffickers and taken to a Fortune Shop located in the suburb of the city. The shop's owner, Mr. Huang, exploited abducted women by forcing them to cry tears of fear, which he then used to produce and sell a unique "love tear rouge."
When Chen Youyou was unable to cry on command, Mr. Huang threatened to chop her up to make an example of her. Thinking quickly, Chen Youyou saved her life by suggesting a new marketing strategy. She presented herself as a business genius, not a cosmetic master, and proposed a plan for "love tear rouge" focusing on precise localization and small profits with quick turnover, impressing Mr. Huang who then appointed her as his "Second Chief."
He instructed his men to follow her plan, threatening to bury them all if it failed. Meanwhile, Bai Li was frantically searching for Chen Youyou, having gone sleepless for three days and nights. His men reported finding a comatose missing woman in the suburb, but no direct clues to Chen Youyou. It was only when Bai Li accidentally saw the unique rouge Chen Youyou had created being sold that he finally got a lead.
Chen Youyou's business acumen led to great success for the Fortune Shop. Mr. Huang praised her innovative idea of carving fruit onto the rouge and creating the slogan "Embrace the four seasons with beauty." He solidified her position, making her his sworn sister and the official Second Chief, much to the displeasure of the former Second Chief, who was demoted to Third Chief. Bai Li, realizing the Fortune Shop was where Chen Youyou was, went to investigate.
He attempted to enter the private backyard but was blocked by guards, who told him outsiders were not permitted, confirming his suspicion that something fishy was going on. Unable to openly raid the place without endangering Chen Youyou, he chose a covert approach. Chen Youyou, now with Mr. Huang's trust, secretly taught the other captive women coded dance movements to map out escape routes, discovering there was no easy way out.
The jealous Third Chief grew increasingly suspicious of Chen Youyou's movements and warned Mr. Huang, but the owner, blinded by the profits Chen Youyou was generating, dismissed his concerns and continued to favor her. To infiltrate the shop and reach Chen Youyou, Bai Li disguised himself as a woman, was deliberately captured by human traffickers, and successfully brought inside. Late one night, as Chen Youyou attempted to sneak out, the Third Chief caught her.
He accused her of deceit and, ignoring her reminder of the wealth she brought Mr. Huang, decided to kill her. Just as he was about to strike, Bai Li, having shed his disguise, appeared and saved Chen Youyou. Chen Youyou, still believing Bai Li had betrayed her, lashed out at him, calling him a murderer. Bai Li finally revealed the truth: Chen Pingzhi was not dead.
He explained that he had secretly sent Chen Pingzhi out of Fuxian City to protect him from Lord Xian, knowing Chen Youyou's plan to seek a reward from Madam De would not guarantee her father's safety. He presented Chen Youyou with a letter in Chen Pingzhi's handwriting, confirming his survival and thanking Bai Li for saving him.
Seeing her father's familiar script, Chen Youyou realized her grave mistake and tearfully reconciled with Bai Li, also complaining about the rats, cockroaches, and bugs in her confinement. With their misunderstanding resolved, Chen Youyou and Bai Li were interrupted by the arrival of the Castellan, who had also infiltrated the Fortune Shop. The three quickly formed a plan to rescue the other abducted women.
Chen Youyou would distract Mr. Huang and his men by discussing future business plans, including the launch of a limited edition, high-priced rouge, and the construction of a large rouge workshop with grand houses for Mr. Huang and small yards for his loyal men. While she kept Mr. Huang engrossed in dreams of immense wealth, Bai Li and the Castellan began freeing the women. However, their plan was discovered when the jealous Third Chief intervened, exposing their true intentions.
A fierce battle erupted between Chen Youyou, Bai Li, and the human traffickers. A large rescue operation began from outside the shop, initiated when the Young Prince's forces were alerted by his son, who had found Chen Youyou's token. The Castellan managed to escape and informed the commanding officer that Bai Li and Chen Youyou were still inside, prompting a full-scale rescue operation. As Bai Li rescued Chen Youyou, Mr. Huang ambushed them from behind with a hidden weapon.
Chen Youyou shielded Bai Li, taking a cut to her arm. Enraged by her injury, Bai Li killed Mr. Huang. However, moments after Mr. Huang fell, Bai Li, severely wounded from the prolonged fight, collapsed. Chen Youyou desperately tried to rouse him, crying over his unconscious body.
