I’m just recapping/translating my
favourite scenes in detail, which all revolve around Weng Gui and Jie You in the
beginning of their romance. These two are love and the fact that they’re dating
in real life makes me love this couple more.
You may need to read the summary in my previous post to fully understand this post.

[Episode 1]
Jie You’s first encounter with Weng Gui was after he’s almost
killed by interveners of his peace mission between Wu Sun and China. Weng Gui’s
separation from his companions leave him vulnerable but he’s too skilled to be
slaughtered. He singlehandedly kills his enemies and Jie You happens to be
nearby because there she needed water and there was a lake where he was at. Seeing
that horrific scene doesn't make her back down on yelling at him though. But
she's not yelling at him for the brutal murders, she's grumbling at him for
dirtying the water with blood. With a menacing stare, he slowly approaches her
without a word. His eyes are enough to make her fear him. Then he’s walks away
from her but he leaves behind his precious dagger, which Jie You picks up and
keeps.
They meet again the third time and he's again in her box –
her suitcase box this time. He's now dirtied all her belongings with his blood
because he's badly injured. Jie You begs the troupe leader to save him. She sort
of likes all these near-deaths encounters with him. Yes she is an odd one. And since she's the only
one not afraid of blood, she takes out the arrow head that's still piercing his
shoulder.
Weng Gui wakes up right when she picks up his dagger (that
she had picked up earlier). He thinks she’s trying to kill him but she’s using
the dagger to take out the arrow head. In the middle of a little brawl, she
slaps him in the face and he faints over again, lol. Then she wakes him up again with the water
medication which instead of applying it gently, she spits it all over him, haha.
Weng Gui: Who are
you?
Jie You: I’m your
saviour.
Weng Gui: You’re
not bad looking.
Jie You slaps him.
This girl is so fierce when she digs that dagger into his
shoulder to get the remaining poison out of his body. She even pierces him just
to threaten him to be obedient. Pulling him close to her, she starts her
surgery and he cries in pain.
Jie You rolls her
eyes at him: Are you even a man?
Weng Gui: Are you
even a woman? Why are you so brutal? LOL.
Jie You: I dare
you to say it once more! – Jabs
Weng Gui bites her shoulder to stifle his cries.
Now it’s Jie You’s turn to cry in pain. Hahaha.
When Ah Cai takes over in caring for him, Weng Gui’s eyes
are still only directed at Jie You who cutely washes his dagger, smiling widely
at him, which ticks him off.
I think they’re in love already.
At night, Jie You sneaks over to the sleeping Weng Gui but
he’s awake all along. He trips her and she falls on top of him. She accuses him
of pretending to sleep.
Weng Gui explains:
I need to protect myself from perverted girls like you.
Jie You: Who’s the
perverted one here? Let go of me. His arms are like completely embracing her.
But he won’t let go. Jie You aims two fingers at his eyes and
pierces down and only at that threat does he let go of her. Jie You asks him for
his identity but he keeps it a secret. He doesn’t think she’ll believe him. She
tries to remind him all that he owes her and he tells her he’s grateful.
Jie You: How are
you going to express your gratitude?
Weng Gui:
Actually, I had already thanked you before you saved me.
Jie You is
completely confused: When? How come I don’t remember?
Weng Gui: When I
first saw you, I didn’t kill you. Did you think I fell in love with you? Ya. I was only sparing your
life so you’ll have a chance to repay me. LOL.
Jie You laughs too. This guy is absurd.
Weng Gui: You
don’t understand? Forget it. I’m sleeping.
Jie You wakes him up, demanding to know his identity as she
punches her fist right into his injury.
Weng Gui: You
really want to know?
Jie You nods and smiles smugly.
Weng Gui: I’m a
Wu Sun citizen and my family does business. My father had died when I was
young. I conduct business between Da Han and Wu Sun and for some reason I’m
being hunted down.
Jie You smiles:
You’re lying.
Weng Gui: Why do
you think that?
Jie You: You have
such good combat skills. How could you simply be a merchant?
Weng Gui: It’s
only basic skills. Really. My dad taught me.
After that, I think Jie You believes him. He also decides to
tag along with her and her troupe. She agrees and tells him to heal properly
before he leave. The two are so smiley now. They even overlap each other when
they talk, a common sign of
a compatible OTP. Jie You lets him speak first (because he’s injured).
Weng Gui: You’re
not tired? LOL. He’s tired!
He wants to stop talking, haha.
[Episode 2]
Jie You tells him she’s an orphan. He also likes her name. “Jie You”
actually means to “relieve one’s worries.” When he tells her to sleep. She’s like,
okay. And she plops right beside him. xD
Weng Gui: Eh.
Jie You: Hm? I swear she wants to talk more
with him.
Weng Gui: This is
my bed.
Jie You: Ahh – Looks up – Right. Hah.
The next morning he disappears and Jie You’s mad. But he just
went to find food, uh scorpions, for the troupe. Now Jie You’s all smiley again.
When he turns out to be useless to the troupe, Jie You promises she’ll
personally teach him how to perform to earn money. Apparently, when he was
drunk, she makes him sign a contract to sell his body to her. LOL. When he doesn’t perform
properly, she punishes him. This girl has a lot of fun torturing him. I love it how he can’t argue
against her.
After he tries to steal money from the troupe, Jie You
catches him red-handed. Actually, she purposely laid out the trap for him to
fall into and now she has every right to handcuff him. I’m starting to think it’s her way of keeping him
beside her forever.
 |
| Why does he look so good in this drama! |
They’re stranded in the desert. When Jie You asks him for his
water to share with everyone else, he refuses but he does offer to personally
feed her the water if they can “deepen” their relationship. Obviously, Jie You
refuses. Other than being flirtatious, he’s very useful when it comes to
emergencies and because when a sandstorm threatens them, he guides them to
safety.
Jie You goes out hunting for water alone when the sandstorm
is still a threat and Weng Gui goes out to save her. He purposely uses an old
horse to find Jie You because it’s these horses that are experienced enough to
locate water. When he finds her, Jie You had fainted over.
Jie You: Did you
touch me (inappropriately)?
Weng Gui: About
this, it’s best you don’t know now. LOL.
Jie You asks the same question but with more menace this
time.
Weng Gui: No – then he smiles – Do you believe
that? Man, this guy!
She swings at his head but he ducks.
He convinces her to drink his water by saying she needs to be
alive and healthy for him to properly tease her. Later, she does grudgingly
thank him.
Weng Gui wonders:
Is the sun too big today that you’ve gone crazy? Why are you speaking human
now?
She goes in for another punch but he grabs onto her wrist.
Jie You points her
finger at him: I’m telling you I’m thanking you so from now on I don’t owe you
anything. You got that?
Weng Gui pulls her hand closer and gives it a small peck. I love the way he’s looking at her
after he kisses her.
Weng Gui speaks
softly: I got it. This guy
is seriously turning off those charms.
When she can’t walk properly, he lifts her up and swings her
over the horse. He gets on the horse too and wraps his hands around her. He has
no choice, he claims because his hands are cuffed. She doesn’t like it but
neither will she give him the keys because he might run away. Weng Gui’s like, ‘Alright,
I’ll just hug you tighter.’ There
are two horses, he could have fully went on the other one.
When they found water, she compliments him.
Weng Gui grabs
his hands and approaches her: You need to be careful.
Jie You: Why?
Weng Gui: You’re
starting to admire me.
She finally releases him of his cuffs and he tells her he
has to leave. She asks where he’s going but he doesn’t give her an answer. He
teases her that she’ll miss him. Yup she already does.
[Episode 3]
They’re not separated for long though because he gets caught
by Xiong Nu warriors who are also looking for water. Appearing like a wimp, he
takes them to Jie You, claiming she’s the one who knows where the water is. He secretly
asks her to retrieve his stolen dagger. Jie You wants something in return when
she retrieves his dagger.
Weng Gui: I can
only give you my body. LMAO.
He never loses a chance to proclaim his sexual desires.
This
drama can win the award of how many times the heroine slaps the male in the
face.
Jie You actually
agrees: If I do retrieve your dagger, then from then on, you are mine.
Jie You proves her capability as she recovers his precious treasure
ease.
When they return home, she discovers she lost her jade. She
actually cups her breast to try to find it, which makes him look closely at her
chest; he’s probably wondering why she’s touching herself but doesn’t lose the
chance to close in on her breasts.
She’s so desperate to find her jade, she cries in a corner.
He promises to retrieve her jade within three days. To assure her he won’t run
away, he gives her his dagger, his precious dagger, for her to keep until he
returns. She smiles cutely and that induces him to pinch her cheek. She slaps
him. Slapping him is such an
automatic move for her, haha.
She’s later accused of being a Xiong Nu spy because of the
dagger. It’s the baldheaded Xiong Nu guy that spread that baseless rumour
because he wanted to get revenge on Jie You and Weng Gui. To spare her entire
troupe, she admits that daggers is hers. Wow she does so much for his dagger (i.e. him) while she does so much
for her jade (i.e. her).
When she’s about to be beheaded, Weng Gui allows himself to
be easily captured by the guard so he is to be executed the same days as her.
Whilst they’re waiting for their death, Weng Gui doesn’t fail to tease her some
more.
Weng Gui mocks
her: How capable you are to be suspected as a Xiong Nu spy.
Jie You: It’s all
your fault!
She cries in fear.
Weng Gui cries
too: I’m sad too. I still haven’t married. OMG.
Jie You can’t bear to look at him anymore.
He tries to convince her to be his wife and so when they
enter their after-life, at least they have a companion. She vehemently refuses
but when the executioners come, she hurriedly agrees, haha
Weng Gui: If you
agree, then shouldn’t you address me properly?
Jie You: Address
you what?
Weng Gui:
Husband!
Jie You: No way!
The swords are right at their necks now and Weng Gui’s voice
escalates as he tries to convince her to call him ‘Husband’.
Jie You cries in
desperation: Husband!
Weng Gui smiles
sweetly: Ahh, Darling!
Jie You sobs then
she cries: Husband (or Darling) I’m scared!
Weng Gui: Don’t
be – and he takes
down the executioners with one fell swoop. Wow this guy left everything so last minute!
Weng Gui actually knows the General because he’s the diplomat
for his country (Da Han) and Wu Sun. Hence they’re both now free of charges. General
Li asks him who the girl is.
Weng Gui: She’s
my newly wedded bride. I’d
say they are officially married now xD
He keeps calling her ‘Wife’ now. I’m smiling so wide at these two.
[Episode 4]
They now head to another city to find out about her parents
because General Li had recognized her jade and sent them there. At the new city,
there isn’t enough room at the hotel and he’s cool with it, he’ll just share
the room with Jie You. She refuses. Duh. She asks him for the letter General
Li had written for her to find her parents but Weng Gui bargains with her that
she’ll have to kiss him in exchange for it. He exposes his cheek wide open for
her to kiss but she slaps it.
Jie You: Why’s
your skin so thick?
Weng Gui: Really?
My skin is thick? – He pinches her cheeks, then she pinches his – It’s just as thick as yours. LOL.
She pinches him back. Hard. Neither of them are willing to
let go first. When he does release her, he makes sure to take the keys to her
room and she takes the letter.
Later at night, Weng Gui is off to complete his diplomatic
mission but before he leaves he says goodbye to Jie You.
Weng Gui taunts
her: I tell you I’m never coming back and you believe me? Do you remember I
said I would give you a huge present?
He gives her his dagger.
Weng Gui: Keep
this dagger and no matter where you are, I will find you.
She also returns him a present. First, he needs to close his
eyes. Then he needs to tilt his chin upwards. Finally he needs to open his
mouth. LOL. He opens
his eyes, doubting whether she’s going to do what he’s thinking. But when she
clicks her tongue, he obediently closes his eyes again. I think we all know she’s
not really going in for a kiss but what she did was completely out of my
expectation. She feeds him the purgative she had fed the Xiong Nu warriors
earlier (because she had promised to let him try it). The naïve guy thanks her for
it and he ends up having diarrhea the entire night. I LOVE HER.
This episode also has her dressing up prettily (actually she’s
always pretty) performing to her soon-to-be family members.
And this is a screencap of General Huai starting to fall in
love with her. I don`t blame him. I`m having a girl crush on her too.
