Cruel Romance 錦繡緣華麗冒險 ep 8 Recap

Ah Lan waits for XYD but the assistant tells her if you do anything then RJX will die and you will suffer/die as well.

YMZ wants to talk with XYD and ask for 10 minutes of his time. He says no at first but then gives her 3 minute because they know each other for 3 years.

On the other side, RJX finds a job. The boss makes her sign the contract in a hurry, she didn't even have time to read over the contract.

YMZ talks about the memories between her and XYD. I think she is trying to confirm that XYD still loves her and not RJX.

She ask him "If I jump off this bridge, will you save me?" XYD doesn't answer, instead he says "times up."

YMZ jumps into the water.

Reminds me of the saying I jump, you jump.

XYD can't let her drown so he saves her.

OMG, they have an underwater kiss! Isn't that romantic?!

This is like the second time they have a water scene. The first time was with ZZ and RJX.

RJX finds out that the contract she signed is for being a cabaret girl. RJX refuses and the boss says you don't have a say because you signed the contract.
Anna on the left tries to help RJX.

The contract states that she will be his for 10 years. He will not let her go.

RJX tries to escape but is blocked by two guards.

The boss says he seen it all before. If RJX tries to escape he will catch her. He tells the guards to put her in the basement/storage area.

YMZ you mean women! You can't have two men's heart. Your just making XYD suffer.

XHC sees the interaction between YMZ and XYD but ignores it and pretends everything is perfect.

Anna ask the boss to let RJX out of the basement.

The boss says if she says anymore kind words for RJX, he will throw her in the basement as well.

Anna sneaks into the basement to give RJX something to eat. Anna gets caught and the boss hits her. RJX says Anna is here to convince her and she will wear the dress.

Anna says to stay behind her and she will protect RJX.

A few men come in to chase the piano guy. The few men were debt collectors.

Everyone is in an uproar because there is no music.

RJX goes to the piano and starts to play. Who knew a country bumpkin can play the piano.

The boss made RJX the official piano player in the nightclub.

Anna's head hurts and says it comes with age. RJX says she can heal it for her.

The other girls hear that RJX solved Anna's headache and wants RJX to heal their health problems too.

This guy has his eye on RJX and tells the boss to get her. She pays the boss lots of money.

The boss tries to convince RJX to dance with the pervert but RJX says no. The boss also offers RJX a raise in her wage but she still says no.

The pervert tries to grab her but she gets away from him.

ZZ comes in and punches the pervert. RJX says she needs to talk to ZZ. She ask him to have mercy on the pervert. Even though she hates him, killing is not an option.


ZZ buys her back from the boss.

Ah Lan is happy to see RJX is good.

RJX says she wants to become stronger so that one day she can be of help to ZZ. Since ZZ keeps on rescuing her she wants to return those favours.

She thanks him for everything. She tells ZZ she wants to be self-sufficient.

She walks away from ZZ again, but this time she turns her head to look back on him.

ZZ finally notice that RJX wants to be a strong women.

RJX comes back to the nightclub. The boss doesn't want her here because of ZZ. Anna says there is something going on between RJX and ZZ. RJX just says "We are friends, very good friends."


Anna tells her of a place to find jobs.

Ahahaha, this part is hilarious. ZZ is trying to help RJX from the shadows. He sends the guy on the bottom picture to introduce a job for RJX.

RJX points out a mistake in the flyer and to return that favour the guy takes her to introduce a job for her.

This job hunting for RJX is all planned by ZZ.

ZZ is doing something for RJX now.
