Destined (2023) Episode 1

The Great Rong Dynasty has been established for only two generations. There are floods in the Yellow River, frequent floods, and hostile forces outside. . In order to solve the financial problem, the emperor sent an envoy to make an order to marry the princess to Gu Jiusi, the only son of the Gu family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to obtain the huge wealth of the Gu family. The story kicked off in the nursery rhymes sung by a group of young children. It was the beginning of spring at that time, and the snow was white, and the city of Yuzhou was shrouded in a heavy snow. Gu Langhua, the owner of Gu's family, received the news that the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the canal was covered in thick fog. The cavalry of Liang Wang's envoy was trapped at Changfengdu Ferry and could not come to Yuzhou City.

Gu Jiusi is a playboy who is famous all over the city. Today, Chen Xun and a group of friends skipped school and hired Lan Xiaofang to have fun. Liu Yuru, the legitimate daughter of the cloth merchant Liu's family, learned that her mother was seriously ill and had no money to buy medicine. She wanted to order her maid to take the white fox fur as an emergency, but she learned that the white fox fur had been sold to Gu Jiusi at a discounted price by the concubine Aunt Yue without her consent. Masked Liu Yuru went to Lan Xiaofang with her maid Yin Hong, but was stopped outside the door. They waited under the heavy snow for a long time, and finally saw Gu Jiusi and his friends coming out. Yin Hong stepped forward to talk to Gu Jiusi, but was mistaken for Ye Shian's maid. Ye Shi'an is a well-known young master in the city of Lizhou. Gu Langhua often uses Ye Shi'an as Gu Jiusi, which makes Gu Jiusi hate Ye Shi'an very much.

Liu Yuru wanted to go back to Baihuqiu to no avail, but was asked in public by the rude Gu Jiusi what she liked about Ye Shi'an, and when the crowd gathered around, Liu Yuru became furious and scolded Gu Jiusi for being playful and rude. Gu Jiusi was also very angry, but when he learned that Liu Yuru was the daughter of a draper from the Liu family, that the head of the Liu family doted on his concubine and killed his wife, and that Liu Yuru's life was worse than that of a concubine, Gu Jiusi was different from her and asked someone to exchange the white fox fur. Liu Yuru sent it. The white fox fur was given to the little beggar by him. Because the little beggar was curled up and shivering in the heavy snow, Gu Jiusi was moved and gave him the white fox fur on his body. It can be seen from this that Gu Jiusi is not as playful and idle as the people in Wuzhou City say.

Su Wan, the official wife of the cloth merchant Liu's family, persuaded Liu Yuru not to attend Mrs. Ye's birthday tea party next month. There are so many high-ranking officials and famous ladies in Yuzhou City, and Mrs. Ye probably already has a candidate in her heart. Liu Yuru didn't listen to her mother, she knew that this was the only time. The concubine Zhang Yue'er didn't want Liu Yuru to go with her. Liu Yuru looked at her father Liu Xuan's expression, and offered a reason he couldn't refuse. Finally, she was able to go to Mrs. Ye's birthday tea party with her. The female relatives tried their best to give the old lady a lot of priceless things, but Liu Yuru gave calligraphy and painting. Everyone sighed and whispered, and the two concubines also blamed Liu Yuru for the shabby things they gave.

Mrs. Ye Liang Qingyu became interested in calligraphy and painting. When she opened it, she saw a painting of a sonorous female general. Everyone else's gifts were for the Ye family's grandmother, but Liu Yuru's painting was really given to Liang Qingyu, which made the old lady Ye, who was born in a general family, very emotional. The prostitute of the Ye family, Ye Yun, was proposed by the mistress of the Gu family. Ye Yun was very sad that she was about to marry the playboy Gu Jiusi. Liu Yuru gave advice to Xie Yun, and turned all her hobbies against her, forcing Gu Jiusi to withdraw from the engagement on her own. Unexpectedly, their conversation was heard clearly by Gu Jiusi and Chen Xun, who sneaked into Ye's house pretending to be servants. Gu Jiusi became angrier as he listened, and appeared to question her. Liu Yuru and Ye Yun called the servants, but Gu Jiusi ran away first.

After this incident, Gu Jiusi felt that Liu Yuru, a lady of great family, seemed to be elegant, but in fact she was really a black lotus with nine winding corridors and deep silt ditches in her heart. Aunt Yue soon found out that Liu Yuru had provoked Gu Jiusi, so she slapped her without saying a word, Ye Yun hurriedly stood in front of her, and then the old lady Ye appeared, and sternly stopped, Aunt Yue took her two daughters to their knees away. Liu Yuru handled this matter well, not only blocked Youyou's mouth, but also prevented Gu Jiusi from reporting his family name. If anyone asks about it in the future, they will say it was a misunderstanding, and it will not have much impact on the Ye family and Ye Yun. Mrs. Ye felt more and more that Liu Yuru was clever and smart, and he was a model of everyone's beauty. She gave Liu Yuru the jade bracelet, and when Ye Shian came back, she came to propose marriage.

Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang were punished by a little girl, they were resentful and determined to fight back. Knowing that Liu Yuru hated her, Gu Jiusi purposely appeared in front of her to annoy her. Liu Yuru and Yin Hong went to the rouge shop to buy rouge to cover the slap marks on their faces, but Gu Jiusi walked into the rouge shop and bluntly said that he would buy all the rouge in the shop.
