The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion Episode 1

Xu Jin (who has a hat to hide his features) asks Fu Rong to predict when he will die. Fu Rong is disguised as a fortune-teller. She’s staking out at this masked man’s place because she suspects there will be danger here. She was almost in harm’s way until Xu Jin saves her. Her vision becomes impaired by the powder that entered her eyes so she can’t see him. Not that she can with his hat on. She begs Xu Jin to stay because of her temporary blindness. I like how she pulled his hat to make his head tilt awkwardly. First, he asks her why she wants to see the masked man (Ju Shui). He believes her when she says she’s curious about Ju Shui’s beautiful appearance. Then he places his arm out in front of her (he also brushes away the cloth attached to his hat so she doesn’t grab that again, heh) to allow her to latch onto his arm. When Fu Rong regains her vision, she accidentally pulls off Xu Jin’s hat. At once he puts his knife (which was a fan in disguise) at her neck demanding her for her motive. She doesn’t have any; she just wanted to warn him from attending Ju Shui’s celebration because she predicted that he’d be in danger. As Fu Rong predicted, there is something off about Ju Shui’s celebration. The pillars fall down deliberately on Xu Jin. Fu Rong starts running immediately to Xu Jin to protect him. She falls over him and he recognizes her. Did he fall in love with her? Seeing that he’s okay, she gets up to leave but he stops her. She pretends to not recognize him. She thinks she’s experienced enough misfortune with him already (all she remembers is his knife at her neck). Fu Rong’s heroic act not only captured Xu Jin’s attention but also Ju Shui’s (the masked man). At this celebration, Fu Rong learns Xu Jin is a prince. At night, Fu Rong dreams of her own marriage. It’s not a happy one. In the dream, there are whispers that her family died because of her. The image of her groom is blurry though. (Source: :cyn-lynn.blogspot.com)
