Tong'er--student to shifu

1.Chou Nu visits a shifu in the woods seeking aid and this little rugrat sweeping again says life and death are set by fate. Meanwhile, Lord Zhao is using fate to confirm his daughter should marry into the Qu family based on their birth dates. Lord Qu is not exactly happy with this. Turns out they gave him a fake birthday! Now they are stuck! They want Yu'er to bring Yuan'er home to address this. Back in the country Chou Nu is kneeling at Shifu's while Qing'er and loyal attendant look after Qu (he looks really cute tucked in). After hours of kneeling an intimidating shifu sees her and reports he cannot do anything because he is poisoned (this part is largely unsubbed. also this guy looks pretty awesome)

2.Even though its the third day she is hopeful until the last moment. She sends everyone out.She holds his hand....and cries....begs him to stay....(I know he isn't going to die but I can't stand to see her so sad because she is usually so invulnerable....) She finds the painting on the floor (as a woman I might be creeped out were it anyone else)(I think she believes that he has loved her since long ago)

3.Yu'er arrives and is met by Qing'er and the attendant. He learn he's been poisoned and bursts in and panics. She explains the situation including what the doctor said. The doctor returns and states that he is dead! (WHAT? THERE ARE 70 more EPISODES!) Everyone is inconsolable. Just like me, because this cast needs him to finish the series! Chou Mu is hysterical. Yu'er kicks everyone out but she won't go and must be dragged out.

4.They lock her up to keep her from doing anything stupid. Elsewhere Master Liu is troubled by guilt and cannot sleep. His brother yells at him for trying to be a hero. He blames Chou Mu, because he decided to do it for her, and he runs off to kill her (NOT GOOD). Qing'er tris to stop him and she breaks in to kill her. He argues his brother came her because she was here. She urges him to kill her. The attendant tries to stop him. He doesn't kill her.

5.A phoenix appears (it isn't clear if this is real or not) and he wakes up. Could this be....the song of phoenix? He awakens and seems to see the phoenix; he goes to it and it flies away. Both Qing'er and Yu'er see it. Yuan touches Chou Mu's face and she opens her eyes....and he's alive.She hugs him....he hugs her.....(So much feels) Yu'er ruins their scene and pretends he saw nothing. He says all the Qu family members have 9 lives.

6.Yu'er gladly supports their romance (to cover up the fact that he almost killed her). All the peasants are mourning because they think the magistrate is dead while the troublemakers celebrate. Until he appears. The doctor proclaims it a miracle.

7.Lord Zhao basically tells Cang Un to end it with Xia'er and he will allow him to continue staying in his home and see that he rises (I think)

8.Cang Yun ignores Xia'er and Elsewhere Yuan begins to make mass quantities of the medicine that saved him. Chou Mu fusses over him. (she's so cute she pretends like she doesn't care) He notices that she is stuttering a bit and apologizes to him. She also explains that she thought he was trying to seduce her but he answers she was seducing him in his dreams (so flirty!) But she seems to be happy and shy now. He explains he doesn't blame her. He tells her that they are fated. (she is adorable). They hold hands...oh I have butterflies...they almost kiss......a servant interrupts to tell them that the medicine is done....(i hate it when that happens in dramas)

9.Cang Yun plays the zither and continues to avoid Xia'er (he can't even dump her?) and explains he isn't feeling well so she should go. He finally lets her in and tells her that he doesn't like her.....OUCH.....
