Wonderful Fate Episode 4 Recap
> Wonderful Fate Recap
In a dreamlike sequence, Li Fuzhu found herself in a modern classroom during a power outage. When a classmate jokingly asked if something was wrong with her, she playfully admitted to being "crazy," a revelation met with amusement. Back in the historical setting, a visibly drunk Yun Yi barely managed to escape Ruan Qing’s advances, rushing away to use the lavatory.
Reflecting on the close call, he vowed to abstain from excessive drinking to prevent Ruan Qing from taking advantage of him. Meanwhile, Hong Yi presented Yun Yi with Li Fuzhu’s backpack, which had been found when she first arrived and frequently made strange noises. Curious about its contents but unable to open it, Yun Yi ordered it to be split open. Just as they were about to strike, Li Fuzhu burst in, yelling for them to stop.
Apologizing profusely, she then revealed her modern belongings: a mobile phone and various snacks. Yun Yi, initially suspicious and thinking she might be trying to harm him, was reassured when Li Fuzhu explained it was a "heavenly treasure." He was then captivated by the novel taste of cola and spicy strips, wishing such delicacies could be enjoyed by all his subjects.
Hong Yi, observing Yun Yi’s genuine laughter, noted that it was the first time he had seen the Emperor smile since he became Crown Prince, recognizing Li Fuzhu’s unique influence. Later, Lan Er accompanied Li Fuzhu to the You Chamber, explaining it was where Royal Highness Yun Li was frequently confined by the Empress Dowager for his disregard of court etiquette.
After bribing the guards to gain entry, Li Fuzhu was startled by Yun Li, who playfully jumped out at her. She scolded him for scaring her, threatening to withhold the food she had brought. They soon made amends, agreeing to be "even" as Yun Li eagerly sampled her treats. Feeling disheartened, Li Fuzhu was approached by Yun Yi, who offered his assistance. To lighten her mood, Li Fuzhu taught him to play Gobang, and in return, he taught her archery.
Their playful interactions fostered a growing closeness. Li Fuzhu then shared music from her phone, further deepening their connection, and even persuaded Yun Yi to try durian. Li Fuzhu decided to make hotpot, preparing a massive, spicy hotpot, complete with an array of modern hotpot dishes. Yun Yi, initially cautious, soon found himself completely immersed in the joyful feast.
Upon hearing of the Emperor's unusual meal, Xue Paizhang and his subordinates rushed over, astonished by the sight of the "Heaven and Earth Pot" and Li Fuzhu’s remarkable culinary skills. Xue Paizhang, captivated by Lan Er, who was assisting Li Fuzhu, couldn't help but inquire about her identity, a clear sign of his immediate affection.
That night, as Xue Paizhang was diligently preparing a cooling tremella soup for Yun Yi, to alleviate the effects of the spicy hotpot, Ruan Qing arrived at the Imperial Kitchen. She brought gifts, attempting to win over the imperial chefs, particularly Xue Paizhang, to her side. However, Xue Paizhang, upholding his strict duty to ensure the Emperor's safety, politely but firmly refused her offerings.
Undeterred, Ruan Qing approached Li Fuzhu, presenting her with a pure gold necklace adorned with jade, hoping to gain her favor. Li Fuzhu, recognizing the bribe, cunningly leveraged the situation by complaining that the single necklace made her other limbs feel "monotonous" and "lacking." Ruan Qing, caught in her trap, was forced to promise more jewelry. Li Fuzhu then sarcastically told Ruan Qing to stop calling her "sister," stating it was "too dangerous" to be related to her.
Enraged by Li Fuzhu's audacity, Ruan Qing's maid, Bi Er, fumed, but Ruan Qing's cold reply, "Why don't you just stab her to death?" silenced her. Ruan Qing then stood before her deceased sister's memorial tablet, defiantly pulling out the incense and proclaiming that her father's favor and the Empress's throne belonged solely to her, vowing that no one could take what she desired.
