Qi pa coached by her mother, mumbles to herself that all men are liars... Making some excuse qi pa leaves... Inspite of his heartbreak, kui Mulang can't help but smile at her over the top pretenses.... Kui Mulang really indulges qi pa and loves her to bits.

(This episode was quite heartbreaking for the viewers to watch inspite of a perfect romantic proposal due to all lies and heartbreak of main leads... However in this series the creators always applied healing balm to the viewers frayed hearts by giving them pay off later... In episode 30, the last episode there is a parallel scene to the proposal scene in episode 10 where viewers are soothed by witnessing a true love confession)

1. So mysterious

Ep 10- qi pa is blindfolded and led by kui Mulang to see the surprise he has prepared... Qi pa retorts 'why so mysterious? '

Ep 30- qi pa closes kui Mulang's eyes and takes him to her chambers to show him the surprise she has prepared.. Kui Mulang wonders 'so mysterious'

2."Are you satisfied? "

Ep 10- qi pa wanders around the decorated proposal room to admire it. Kui Mulang asks her my queen-to-be "Are you satisfied? "... Qi pa courteously replies that she didn't expect him to propose to her.

Ep 30- qi pa wants kui mulang to confess his love, kui mulang charmingly says " The only thing, I want in this life is you. I love you". Both qi pa and kui mulang giggle like shy children who have just been gifted a box of candies... Both of then blush after qi pa lovingly kisses him on his cheek... Kui mulang adoringly looks at qi pa and inquires "Are you satisfied?".. This time she genuinely nods as her heart desires his commitment and everlasting love.
