> Resumos de My Dear Destiny
Lian Qiao felt remorseful for not being able to provide Qiqi with better food, but Qiqi found the simple meal perfectly satisfying and invited Lian Qiao to join her. As they ate, Lady Li entered Qiqi's sleeping quarters unannounced, claiming no one was outside to inform them. Qiqi did not recognize her, prompting Lian Qiao to explain that Lady Li was a former bully who had often tormented Qiqi and scolded their maids when Qiqi was foolish.
Lady Li then announced that Consort Ling invited Qiqi to meet her. Qiqi, however, refused to go, telling Lady Li to "get out." Lady Li, infuriated, called Qiqi a "rude shrew" but still insisted Qiqi accept a "reward" from Consort Ling. She presented a container of rouge, suggesting Qiqi try it to "be pretty." Finding the scent too strong, Qiqi sneezed, accidentally blowing the powdered rouge directly into Lady Li's face.
Lady Li, startled and covered in powder, fled in a hurry. Lian Qiao remarked on Qiqi's "amazing" feat, but Qiqi insisted it was accidental and that Lady Li had overreacted. News of Qiqi’s refusal to Consort Ling and her treatment of Lady Li reached Lv Ao. He ordered Wei Xun to continue monitoring Qiqi.
Meanwhile, Consort Ling, enraged, denounced Lady Li as "useless" and, while acknowledging Qiqi's "backbones," dismissed the influence of the Marquis of North, who was stationed a thousand li away at the border. At the Palace of Benevolence, Lv Che paid his respects to his mother, High Consort Gao. She noticed the smell of alcohol on him and he explained he had been drinking with his brother, Lv Ao, the previous night.
High Consort Gao expressed concern over their newfound closeness and Lv Che's poor health, advising him to abstain from drinking. She encouraged him to stay in the palace longer, to which Lv Che internally agreed, finding the palace "pretty interesting recently" due to Qiqi's presence. Qiqi, having noticed the Blood Jade reacting only when she was near Lv Ao, suspected a connection and resolved to approach him to verify. She declared her intention to "chase His Majesty."
Her first attempt involved bringing homemade desserts to Lv Ao’s administrative area. Yinzi, the butler, barred their entry, citing it as a "restricted area." After Lian Qiao discreetly bribed him, Yinzi went to inform Lv Ao. He returned shortly, taking the desserts but still denying Qiqi entry. Qiqi complained about not being allowed in and not getting her desserts back.
Lian Qiao suggested that sending desserts was too "old-fashioned," but Qiqi argued that "classic tricks are the most useful ones," deciding to try a different approach since this one failed. Qiqi’s next plan was to deliberately collide with Lv Ao’s sedan on the road. She fell dramatically, claiming to be injured and unable to stand. However, it was Yinzi who helped her up. Lv Ao, from within his sedan, merely offered her some silver as compensation.
Qiqi was puzzled by this response, wondering what he meant. Undeterred, Qiqi devised another plan for that night: "the beauty saves the hero" strategy. She intended to use firecrackers to lightly injure Lv Ao while he was practicing sword, then rush to his aid, with Lian Qiao shouting about an assassin, ensuring Lv Ao would be grateful. However, when Qiqi lit the firecrackers, they exploded at her feet instead, covering her and Lian Qiao in soot.
Qiqi exclaimed, "Idiot," and they quickly fled the scene. They hid in some bushes, disoriented, until they heard pleasant zither music. They followed the sound to find Lv Che playing. He noticed their disheveled appearance. Lv Che commented that Qiqi was "always so unique each time we meet," to which Qiqi replied that she normally didn’t look like that, attributing her current state to an "accident."
When Lv Che inquired about their nocturnal activities, Qiqi claimed they were "taking a walk" and had been drawn by his "wonderful" music. She then attempted to thank him for saving her earlier, but Lv Che stated it was their first meeting. Qiqi performed a "border" custom of gratitude. Lian Qiao suggested it was time to leave, but Qiqi secretly stepped on Lian Qiao’s foot, prompting Lian Qiao to also feign ignorance of the way back.
Qiqi then played helpless, mentioning how large and dark the palace was, and that two "small women" couldn’t find their way. Seeing this, Lv Che offered to escort them. Qiqi gratefully accepted. Noticing the soot on Qiqi's face, Lv Che instinctively reached out with a handkerchief to wipe it, but Lian Qiao quickly intervened, doing it herself. Lv Che then apologized for his impropriety. The next day, Qiqi, feeling joyful from her interaction with Lv Che, dressed up meticulously.
She met Lv Che, who complimented her "gorgeous" attire, prompting Qiqi to remark how "embarrassed" she had been during their previous encounters. As a token of gratitude for "saving her," Qiqi presented Lv Che with a doll she had crafted in his likeness, explaining her skill in doll-making since childhood.
She mused that if she had his hair, she could put it in the doll to make it his "substitute," and if she still possessed Witch Power, she could then use the doll to "make you love me." Lv Che asked why she needed the hair, and she explained that "it represents you." He stated that he "likes it." Qiqi then suggested he call her "you" when they were alone, but Lv Che demurred, citing it as "not proper."
When she offered to call him "savior," he again refused, insisting on calling her "My Lady," which Qiqi then accepted, saying, "Now we're talking." She told him she found him different from others in the palace, who were "all restrained" by its "many rules," whereas he seemed "free." She complimented his elegant zither playing and painting, saying it was "truly enviable" to live a life of "arts" rather than "politics." Qiqi praised his "bold painting of landscape."
Lv Che remarked that while the painted view was pretty, the real one was "prettier." He began to suggest taking her to see the real landscapes, but upon noticing Wei Xun secretly observing them, quickly changed his mind, suggesting instead that Lv Ao could take her.
An attendant then reminded Lv Che it was time to greet his mother, and he departed, lamenting silently that Qiqi was "my brother's woman" and that while his painting was just a picture, Qiqi belonged to "the man who dominates the land." He also noted he had called her "My Lady" again. Wei Xun reported Qiqi’s activities to Lv Ao, including her two meetings with Lv Che at the lake pavilion.
He admitted he couldn’t hear their conversations due to the distance but assured Lv Ao there was "no improper" behavior. Lv Ao, trusting his brother, stated, "Lord of Ji knows what he can do. I'm not worrying about that." He then instructed Wei Xun to cease tracking Qiqi, as it was "not convenient" for Wei Xun to be constantly in the rear court.
Lian Qiao managed to acquire eunuch clothes and the key to Cloud Pool, stolen from Yinzi, suggesting Qiqi go early to "try her luck" and "meet His Majesty." Dressed as a eunuch, Qiqi made her way to the Cloud Pool. On the way, she encountered Luo Jiuchen, who, noticing her direction, offered an enigmatic warning: "Sometimes the closer you get to the truth, the more blurred you see it." Qiqi ignored him and continued on.
She waited at Cloud Pool until nightfall. Finding the water warm, she decided to get in. Moments later, Lv Ao arrived at the Cloud Pool. As he began to undress, Qiqi, who had hidden underwater, resurfaced. Lv Ao, surprised, confronted her. Flustered, Qiqi couldn't explain herself. As Lv Ao called for guards, Qiqi struggled with him, but he quickly broke free. Her clothes accidentally slipped off. Yinzi and other guards rushed in, hearing the commotion.
Lv Ao quickly shielded Qiqi from their sight. Yinzi, recognizing "Ugly Lady," was shocked, but Lv Ao angrily ordered them to "get lost now." Fully dressed, Qiqi faced a furious Lv Ao, who held his sword to her neck. She admitted her wrongdoing and begged for forgiveness, asking him to "kill me quickly" if he wouldn't spare her. Lv Ao accused her of wanting to "die for your crime," which she denied, stating her offense did not warrant death.
Qiqi then claimed she had come to "tell you my affection," explaining that ever since she regained her senses, she had fallen deeply in love with him. She recounted her persistent attempts to see him and his refusal, leading to this "unwise decision" to convey her feelings. Her "biggest mistake," she declared, was loving him "so much." Lv Ao, however, found her "gullible." Lv Ao declared, "I won't kill you, but I'll punish you," sentencing her to "80 blows."
Qiqi pleaded for mercy, asking if he could not "spare me for the sake of my deep love." Lv Ao retorted that as his concubine, she "should love me deeply." Accepting her punishment, Qiqi then invoked her father, the Marquis of North, recalling his words about the Chou family's duty to "sacrifice for our country" and her own duty to "serve His Majesty well" after marrying him.
She bravely stated she would accept the "severe punishment," even if she couldn't survive the "80 blows," requesting only that her body be taken to the border so her father could "meet me for the last time." Lv Ao sternly asked if she was "coercing me," which she denied. He then questioned her memory, asking, "Didn't you lose your memory? Why did you remember your father's words?"
Qiqi admitted to having "actually remembered some" things "before I came here," but maintained that as a "fool," she had "an ordinary life, nothing fancy." Lv Ao internally concluded that "she is getting back her memory." He then told her to "rise." Qiqi thanked him. Noticing her knee pain, Lv Ao asked if her "legs hurt?" Qiqi insisted, "Anyway, I can walk." Instead of comforting her, Lv Ao abruptly shoved her back into the Cloud Pool.
