ep 7 spoilers ahead

1.We open to Jieyou undergoing extensive and intensive bride training. She has to learn everything from etiquette to formal education on classics, formal language, etc.

2.Jieyou offers A-Tsai/Cai another escape but she is adamant that she will go. Jieyou remarks that from here on out it is just the two of them...

3.Meanwhile, Wen has returned home and reports to his father. He learns Kunmi has agreed to a marriage alliance with the Xiongnu (what about Han? what will Wen do when he finds out his 'wife' is marrying someone else?)

4.Wen meets with Kunmi. From their conversatioin we learn that Kunmi will wed Hu Gu, the daughter of the Chief of Xiognu, someone who they have known since childhood, is the number 1 beauty of the Xiognu (of course) and is known to be sneaky (of course). She will be the next Queen Mother, and Wen cautions him to be careful because she is sneaky but Kunmi doesn't seem to care....

5.In the next scene, the emperor is sending Jieyou off in a stunning/unique bridal outfit. She makes one more request of the emperor, that when she dies of old age, she is buried in Han (so dramatic). She looks back once, and the look on her face/in her eyes is so sad! The scene changes to General H who is personally entrusted by the emperor to be Jieyou's personal guard and the Han envoy, and to let him know the moment there is a problem AND investigate the cause of Princess Xi Jun's death...

6.Crying buckets of tears as she says good bye to her adoptive father...

7.In contrast, we go to Mi Gu, who is leaving her father and she is vowing to 'win' (so different from Jieyou's tearful goodbye; Mi Gu is much more cool and confident)

8.Meanwhile Wen is talking to Kunmi about his future marriage (he obtained permission) to bring back Jieyou (little does he know his brother is about to marry her!)

9.On the way to Wusan they stop as they enounter a 'man' who is clearly a girl, Feng Liao. General H overreacts but Jieyou finds it amusing. She reveals the woman's identity and then she manages to gain a new friend in Feng Liao, who agrees to escort her to Wusan. (Fang Laio is Genera; H's future love interest?)

10.The Xiognu appear to be following them. Then there is an attack (epic), guess who comes to the rescue? WEN! What will she do? EVERYONE can sense there is something between these two--so sad...not fair....(why can't he turn greedy, assassinate his brother, and marry her....?)
