To Get Her Episode 8 Recap
> To Get Her Recap
Master Cui had been secretly repaying all the debts accumulated by his grandson, Cui Xun, whenever he learned of Cui Xun's fraudulent activities, a fact Cui Xun was completely unaware of. Realizing the deep, albeit misunderstood, affection between Master Cui and his grandson, Lin Zhengzheng and Tu Siyi concluded that inviting Cui Xun to participate in the final round would significantly increase their chances of winning.
They found a despondent Cui Xun and revealed Master Cui’s hidden care, explaining that his continued escape from justice was due to his grandfather consistently settling his debts. They also noticed Cui Xun was carrying traditional Chinese medicine for blood pressure, meant for his ailing grandfather, highlighting the mutual affection between them. Tu Siyi urged Cui Xun to overcome his emotional barriers and reconcile with his grandfather.
Master Cui arrived shortly after to repay the silver Tu Siyi and Lin Zhengzheng had lost to Cui Xun, inadvertently confirming their story. Lin Zhengzheng then advised Cui Xun to cease his deceptive ways and apologize to his grandfather. When the final round of the music competition began, Li Changxiu was notably absent. Tu Siyi surprised everyone by introducing Cui Xun as their external aid.
Cui Xun, playing a tune Master Cui had taught him in childhood, publicly expressed his willingness to return home and inherit his grandfather’s musical legacy. Master Cui, deeply moved, shed tears, signifying their reconciliation. Following the rules of the competition, Tu Siyi was declared the champion. Later, at a celebratory dinner, Master Cui expressed immense gratitude to Tu Siyi and Lin Zhengzheng for helping him and his grandson reconcile.
During the meal, Cui Xun apologized to his grandfather for his past misbehavior, and Master Cui, in turn, acknowledged his own fault for pressuring Cui Xun and promised to support his happiness moving forward. Lin Zhengzheng seized this opportunity to subtly inquire about the whereabouts of the "Ode to Lvqi" score. Cui Xun, still reflecting on the past, asked Master Cui about the long-standing rumor of his infidelity.
Master Cui confessed that in his youth, his deep immersion in the famed "Ode to Lvqi" had led him to neglect his wife, who mistakenly believed he had betrayed her, leading to her eventual illness and passing. Out of remorse, he had since locked away the "Ode to Lvqi" and never played it again.
Unbeknownst to them, the Second Prince's plot to disrupt the competition had failed, and he had learned that the "Ode to Lvqi" was located at Cui's Mansion. Believing Tu Siyi was secretly seeking the score to curry favor with the Queen Mother of Yuanri State (who coveted it) and thus gain political advantage, the Second Prince ordered his men to infiltrate Cui's Mansion and steal the "Ode to Lvqi," with strict instructions to succeed at all costs.
That night, the Second Prince’s men entered Cui's Mansion, using an overpowering smoke to incapacitate the household. They searched the Library Box for the "Ode to Lvqi," but after failing to find it, they decided to burn the entire Library Box down. However, Cui Xun, who was not affected by the smoke, intercepted them as they tried to flee. He captured the intruders and handed them over to the authorities.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhengzheng, having seen the black-clad figures and the unconscious household members, and sensing their target was the score, quickly woke Tu Siyi. They rushed to the Library Box, realizing the intruders' true intention was not just to steal but to destroy the invaluable "Ode to Lvqi." Amidst the growing flames, they desperately searched and eventually discovered a secret mechanism, leading them into a hidden room where the score was safely stored.
They retrieved the "Ode to Lvqi," but in doing so, found themselves trapped inside the secret chamber. In the dark and confined space, Lin Zhengzheng, startled by the sound of a mouse, instinctively clung to Tu Siyi. He began to hum a familiar song. When she questioned him about it, he merely stated it was an instinctive hum and asked if she had heard it before.
Lin Zhengzheng felt a deep pang of sadness and weariness; while he remembered the melody, he had no recollection of their shared past or that he had once sung it to her. Tu Siyi attempted to console her, suggesting that their current happiness was what mattered most, and that perhaps remembering the past wasn't as crucial. Lin Zhengzheng, however, insisted on the importance of their past to her, even if he couldn't recall it.
She then expected a kiss, but Tu Siyi was actually leaning in to detect a draft, which he believed would indicate an exit. Feeling annoyed by his pragmatism, Lin Zhengzheng refused to walk, forcing Tu Siyi to carry her, playfully teasing her about her weight. As dawn approached, Tu Siyi and Lin Zhengzheng successfully escaped the secret room, bringing the "Ode to Lvqi" with them. Outside, Cui Xun had already informed Master Cui about the fire and the captured arsonists.
Despite earlier claiming indifference, Master Cui was visibly distressed by the potential loss of the "Ode to Lvqi" and deeply worried about Tu Siyi and Lin Zhengzheng's safety. Their safe return, with the score intact, brought immense relief to everyone. Tu Siyi respectfully presented the "Ode to Lvqi" to Master Cui.
Reflecting on how the score had caused much discord in his own family, and impressed by Tu Siyi and Lin Zhengzheng's harmonious partnership, Master Cui lauded them as a "heaven-made couple" and decided to gift the recovered "Ode to Lvqi" to them, believing they were the most fitting inheritors. He then revealed that he had recognized Tu Siyi as the Third Prince and Lin Zhengzheng as the Third Prince's Consort upon their arrival, having seen Tu Siyi's jade pendant.
He also identified Princess Ya. He explained that he had not exposed their identities because he felt their passion for music was genuine. Master Cui also humbly requested clemency for Cui Xun's past offenses. Tu Siyi graciously dismissed Cui Xun's previous misdeeds, stating they were unintentional. With many days passed since their departure from the palace, Tu Siyi and his entourage took their leave from Cui's Mansion.
As they journeyed, Lin Zhengzheng requested Tu Siyi to play the "Ode to Lvqi" for her, to which he readily agreed. Shortly after, Cui Xun rode up to them, dismounted, and respectfully greeted the Third Prince and the Third Prince's Consort.
