To Get Her Episode 7 Recap
> To Get Her Recap
The competition continued with Yu Siyi from the Capital City taking the stage. Master Cui expressed his unfamiliarity with Yu Siyi's instrument, stating he had never seen such a musical instrument in his life. Lin Zhen'er explained that it was a guitar, a new instrument invented by Yu Siyi, capable of producing very different music. As Yu Siyi began his performance, the audience was captivated by his innovative music.
Suddenly, people sent by the Second Prince used mirrors to reflect sunlight, attempting to disrupt his performance. Lin Zhen'er quickly noticed the sabotage. Angered by the interference but prioritizing the competition, she snatched Tu Siya's sword and went on stage, dancing with the sword to block the reflected light. Yu Siyi completed his performance while Lin Zhen'er danced, and they successfully passed the first round. Li Changxiu also advanced.
Before the second round, Lin Zhen'er had already bought off A Fu, a servant in the Cui mansion, to obtain information about the upcoming challenge. A Fu later secretly delivered the rules, confirming that the second round was "Locating through sound." Contestants, blindfolded, would stand in the center of a stage surrounded by 12 drums. Each drumbeat would signal a wooden ball being shot from that direction, and contestants had to evade them to avoid being hit.
Li Changxiu, with his martial arts skills and keen sense of music, easily passed this round. Yu Siyi, despite his acute hearing, recognized his lack of swiftness to dodge the wooden balls. Lin Zhen'er proposed they compete together, with him identifying directions and her providing the swift movements. Their strategy involved using the 12 directions as clock points, with Yu Siyi calling out the "time" for Lin Zhen'er to react.
As they skillfully navigated the incoming wooden balls, their movements resembled a dance, with Yu Siyi remarking how wonderful it was to "dance" with Lin Zhen'er. He expressed that going through these experiences with her helped him understand her passion for music. However, the Second Prince's men once again intervened, shooting Yu Siyi's ear and causing him temporary deafness.
Concerned for Lin Zhen'er, who was pregnant, Yu Siyi stubbornly pushed her off the stage, intending to face the remaining attacks alone. Unwilling to let him get hurt, Lin Zhen'er rushed back onto the stage, embracing him and shielding him from the final attacks, sustaining injuries herself. Both Li Changxiu and Yu Siyi passed the second round. A doctor later assured Yu Siyi that Lin Zhen'er's pulse was stable and her unborn baby was safe.
Lin Zhen'er, despite her injuries, insisted on continuing, stating her desire to keep winning. Steward Li announced the rules for the third round: contestants must perform music that moves Master Cui to tears. As a gesture of gratitude, Master Cui had already gifted them a musical score.
Lin Zhen'er eagerly received it, hoping it was the "Ode to Lvqi" she sought, but was disappointed to find it was "Three Hundred Nursery Rhymes," which she considered Master Cui's way of mocking them. Determined to find the "Ode to Lvqi," Lin Zhen'er and Tu Siya decided to search Master Cui's room. Their search proved fruitless, as the score was not there.
As they were leaving, Tu Siya unexpectedly bumped into Cui Xun, whom she recognized as having cheated her out of money previously. A struggle ensued, but Cui Xun managed to escape when servants appeared, though Tu Siya continued her pursuit. She eventually offered to drop the matter if Cui Xun would help her steal Li Changxiu's iron flute, to which he agreed.
Later, a maid named Sister Ying explained to Lin Zhen'er and Yu Siyi that Cui Xun was actually Master Cui's grandson. Master Cui's deep devotion to music, especially after acquiring the "Ode to Lvqi," led him to neglect his wife, Cui Xun's grandmother, who eventually died of depression. Cui Xun blamed his grandfather and rebelled, constantly causing trouble and refusing to pursue music as his grandfather wished.
Sister Ying also revealed that despite his rebellious exterior, Cui Xun secretly cared for Master Cui, often bringing him medicine, and was doing so that very night. Lin Zhen'er, relating to the pressure of parental expectations, empathized with Cui Xun. While attempting to steal the iron flute for Tu Siya, Cui Xun discovered Li Changxiu, dressed in nocturnal clothing, attempting to steal something from Master Cui's room. Cui Xun shouted "Catch the thief!"
, startling Li Changxiu, who fled in a hurry. In his escape, the iron flute was dislodged and fell into Cui Xun's hands. Cui Xun later warned Tu Siya that Li Changxiu was "not a good man," but she was skeptical, calling him a martial arts master. Cui Xun then made up an excuse for being in Master Cui's study, claiming he got lost looking for the toilet with Lin Zhen'er.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhen'er and Yu Siyi discussed the upcoming third round, realizing that finding a way to mend the relationship between Master Cui and Cui Xun might be the key to moving Master Cui to tears. They pondered how to break through the animosity between the grandfather and grandson. When Lin Zhen'er and Yu Siyi asked Tu Siya about Cui Xun, Tu Siya confirmed that despite her pursuit, he had escaped in the chaos. Just as they were troubled by the situation, Master Cui arrived.
