Fated Hearts

During the battle in Pingling City, Jinxiu’s military commander, Fu Yi Xiao, severely injures Susha’s eldest Prince, Feng Sui Ge, who quickly flees for safety. Meanwhile, Fu Yi Xiao becomes the target of assassins and is also severely injured, trying to escape. Both survive with the help of the physicians from Zhengnian Villa. As they try to speed recovery using the hidden medicine pool, they meet again, but Fu Yi Xiao has lost her memory, and Feng Sui Ge takes advantage of this.

Feng Sui Ge tortures Fu Yi Xiao to gain information about the battle at Pingling and, in so doing, helps her remember some of her past memories. He decides to keep her alive, hoping to figure out who tried to assassinate them. They head back to the palace, but are stopped at the city gates while Sui Ge’s brother completes his coming-of-age ceremony. Meanwhile, Jinxiu’s Prince Xia Jing Shi is forced to marry Susha’s princess for diplomatic peace.

Before striking a deal to cooperate with each other, Yi Xiao and Sui Ge get even with each other. Yi Xiao lures the assassins following her, but they hold back for some reason. The Prime Minister pressures his daughter, Empress Zhang, to prepare Princess Feng Xi Yang, Sui Ge’s sister, for marriage with the Prince of Jinxiu. Three little kids end up in Zhengnian Villa looking for their missing master.

Sui Ge comes up with a plan to not only confirm his cooperation with Yi Xiao, but also to surface the assassins after her. Xue Ying arrives at the capital, bringing Yi Xiao’s three little disciples. However, Yi Xiao is wary of them since she is unable to remember her past with them. News from Jinxiu arrives, and the imperial court ministers debate the marriage proposal between the Princess of Sasha and the Prince of Jinxiu for peace.

Sui Ge tells his sister Jinxiu’s plan to have her marry the Prince of Jinxiu, Xia Jing Shi, who is in love with Yi Xiao. Sui Ge vows to protect her and prevent her marriage. Yi Xiao entrusts her little disciples to Xue Ying, but things go awry when the disciples run away and A’Fang goes missing. Yi Xiao looks for him and falls into her assassin’s trap. Jing Shi receives news that Yi Xiao is alive and heads for Yujing to save her from Sui Ge.

Sui Ge discovers that his sister has fallen in love with the Prince of Jinxiu and therefore wants to marry him. Shocked and angry that she could marry his sworn enemy, Sui Ge blames himself for her naïveté because he shielded her from treacherous people while growing up. Concerned by his sudden change in behavior, Yi Xiao accompanies Sui Ge as he tries to drown away his sorrows. Meanwhile, the Prince of Jinxiu makes haste for Yujing.
