Qingchuan's Veil of Vengean Episode 18 (Ending) Recap
> Qingchuan's Veil of Vengean Recap
As they neared Qingchuan Town, Feng Shiye and his entourage stopped to rest. Xia Qiguang came to deliver something to Mo Qingchuan, who was still held in the prison carriage. He told her that he had petitioned for an imperial edict—Qingchuan would now be his fief, and he would remain there waiting for her. Mo Qingchuan gave no reply, but after Xia Qiguang left, she softly whispered with tears in her eyes, “Good.”
On the Winter Solstice, they arrived in Qingchuan Town. Feng Shiye and Mo Qingchuan held their wedding ceremony there. Everyone came to toast Feng Shiye, praising his prowess in marrying a general like Mo Qingchuan as his wife. Feng Shiye sought out Xia Qiguang, asking him to drink and bluntly questioning if he refused because he had fallen for Mo Qingchuan. Xia Qiguang admitted calmly that he indeed liked her.
Though it was a wedding for two, all the guests only congratulated Feng Shiye on winning a beauty, even changing Mo Qingchuan’s surname to call her “Lady Feng.” Yet Xia Qiguang remembered her real name, and the red wedding gown she wore, to him, was Mo Qingchuan’s battle armor. Returning to the bridal chamber, Feng Shiye was told by Mo Qingchuan that she wanted to admire the snow.
She took him to the lakeside—a place where her older brothers had trained her in childhood. It was also the burial ground she had chosen for Feng Shiye. Feng Shiye struck first and defeated Mo Qingchuan, reminding her not to forget the winds of the frontier. But what Mo Qingchuan could never forget were the sounds of children’s laughter, the clashing of arms, and endless hatred. Tonight, she vowed to take everyone home.
Just then, a signal flare lit up the sky from within the city. Feng Shiye, growing more arrogant, said that after years of battle with Mo Qingchuan, he had long prepared for this moment. Mo Qingchuan scoffed, swearing to kill him. Feng Shiye suppressed his feelings, saying that emotions had clouded his judgment, and today it would all end.
He claimed that her Dawn Break Form III could no longer harm him—but Mo Qingchuan told him he had never seen the western form of Dawn Break. As she spoke, Mo Qingchuan released two of her sealed pressure points, letting her dominant inner force surge through her body. With just one move, she ended Feng Shiye’s life. She asked if he now understood who she was. Feng Shiye called out, “General Mo,” before breathing his last.
Back in the city, as Feng Shiye’s subordinates clashed with Xia Qiguang and the others, Mo Qingchuan returned with Feng Shiye’s severed head. The soldiers scattered in panic. Mu Yun tossed aside her sword with ease, munching on her sugar-coated hawthorn as she walked away. Mo Qingchuan, exhausted beyond her limit, fainted. Everyone was alarmed. One year later, at the Qinglu Courtyard, Jiang Kui and Xia Qiguang were brewing wine with green plums.
Xia Qiguang prayed for Qingchuan to appear in his dreams, hoping his master would return. Jiang Kui also pleaded earnestly, believing that Fang Du would surely be able to bring her back to life with her skill. Just then, the wind chime at the door rang softly—Mo Qingchuan appeared, holding an umbrella. Xia Qiguang rushed to greet her.
Mo Qingchuan gently lifted the umbrella to shield him from the falling snow, but Xia Qiguang tossed the umbrella aside and embraced her tightly—a feeling of regaining what was once lost.
