"A Forbidden Marriage" Episode 10: A Confession and a New Conspiracy
Episode 10 of A Forbidden Marriage begins with Yang Qing coming to make amends with Wang Yue. He even brings her some rare Furong cake as a peace offering. Although Wang Yue is secretly thrilled, she puts on a front and acts like she's still mad.
As Yang Qing is about to leave, he bumps into Ling Yin. Ling Yin pulls him aside for a serious chat, telling him that Wang Yue has changed. She warns him that if he doesn't truly like this new version of her, he should leave now before he ends up hurting her. Ling Yin also shares her suspicions about the poison affecting the children, noting that a normal poison wouldn't spread through sores. It must be something incredibly potent, and whoever is behind it is truly evil.
Later, Ling Yin finds Wang Yue and points out how thoughtful Yang Qing was to get her the hard-to-find cake. The two friends then go to make a wish under a tree. As Wang Yue throws an embroidered ball as part of the ritual, Yang Qing happens to catch it. Still pretending to be upset, Wang Yue tries to walk off, but Yang Qing chases after her.
Just as they are arguing, a fortune teller suddenly appears. Wang Yue is skeptical at first, but he shocks her by correctly guessing that she was supposed to be dead and has been given a second chance at life. Impressed, Yang Qing asks for a reading too. The fortune teller reveals that Yang Qing has been secretly in love with someone. Hearing this, Wang Yue gets jealous, assuming it's another woman. She presses him to tell her who it is. Yang Qing confesses that the person he's been in love with is the Saintess. Wang Yue is stunned to realize he was in love with her former self and is confused about why he would like the person she used to be.
Now that his feelings are out in the open, Wang Yue is about to reveal her true identity, but Yang Qing stops her. He wants to keep her identity a secret to protect her. He explains that he kept his distance because he was afraid of attracting trouble from the Sheng Yue Cult to his own Cloud Sect. But now, he has decided to take her back to the Cloud Sect with him. That night, he teaches her the Cloud Sect's signature Qinggong skill. Deeply moved, Wang Yue expresses her feelings and promises she will never betray him.
An ecstatic Wang Yue tells Ling Yin that Yang Qing likes her back. Ling Yin then drops a bombshell: Yang Qing had once infiltrated the Sheng Yue Cult and had been by her side all along. The next day, Wang Yue eagerly waits for Yang Qing, ready to leave for the Cloud Sect. However, he has a change of plans. He needs to go to Biluo Valley for a birthday celebration, and Wang Yue decides she has to go with him.
Meanwhile, Lu Xuanxuan is punished by her furious father for failing to kill the children. The Valley Master, her father, is then cheered up by the news that Yuan Yingxing is believed to be dead after falling from a cliff. He decides to make good on his promise to marry Lu Xuanxuan to Jin Buhuan, which makes her storm off in anger. Jin Buhuan and the Valley Master are secretly plotting to use the birthday celebration to publicly humiliate the Cloud Sect and usurp their position as leader of the martial arts world.
Once they arrive at Biluo Valley, Wang Yue and Ling Yin start looking for where the Sheng Yue Cult disciples are being held captive. However, many areas are restricted. When Yang Qing suddenly shows up, Wang Yue quickly hugs him, pretending to be affectionate to avoid raising his suspicion. Just then, Yang Qing's master, Feng Xingyun, appears, and Wang Yue uses the distraction to slip away.
Elsewhere, Ming Yang reports that the leader of the Cloud Sect has brought the legendary Sun Blade with him. Feng Xingyun senses that something big is about to go down. He pulls Yang Qing into a room to discuss the situation. Realizing they're being spied on, they deliberately talk about the Alliance Leader's Token to mislead the eavesdropper. It's also revealed that Yuan Yingxing and Yao Fu survived their fall and are being cared for. Finally, Feng Xingyun tells Yang Qing about the history of the Sun and Moon Blades.
