Novel Translation: How Dare You
Ep 9: Yu Wanuin tells Prince Duan that she has future telling dreams to explain why her, Xiahuo Dan and Xie Yonger are different. He seems to buy this. She then tells Xiahuo Dan that they need to plan a supernatural event for Yonger so she'll also say the same thing.
Baby version! And it seems like he's been practising calligraphy for a very long time and also waiting for the transmigrated female lead
Xiahou Dan pretends that Xie Yonger let a bunch of modern terms slip when she was drunk. They lead her to explain it as prophetic dreams as well. She is fairly freaked out and runs into Prince Duan while getting away. The plan works, she tells Prince Duan that she has foresight in dreams, making her and Yu Wanuin's stories match up.
Then the two mains send a ton of "text messages" between each other via Mr. Bei, who is exhausted by it
Xiahou Dan and Yu Wanuin meet with the scholars, whom she shames into allowing her to remain in the room by exaggerating her rope burn wound. They discuss a plan to bring in drought resistant crops despite having no money (Empress Dowager steals it) and no military power (Prince Duan). Then Xiahou Dan asks if Yu Wanuin suspects him of leaking the information about the meeting, she replies that she suspects that he isn't a CEO because he doesn't know anything about economics.
Ep 10: Xiahou Dan tells her he doesn't remember because he doesn't want to tell the entire truth and lose her. She leaves disappointed. He remembers transmigrating as a student into the body of the young prince (in the novel he's in middle school, around 14 years old). Then he has a migraine attack
Xie Yonger goes to see the emperor but is turned away. She sends Yu Wanuin thinking she'll be rejected as well but she's brought in right away. He admits that he isn't a CEO and tells her that all his hope is in her because he's a useless actor. She says she'll stay with him anyway.
I just have to mention that I'm so happy they have his hair fully down quite a bit because as a character with migraines, there is no way he'd want his hair up all the time. They actually wear pyjamas too which is great (side eye to some other dramas where they flop into bed fully dressed and coiffed, someone is going to get an eye out on those hairpins!)
Xie Yonger wanders around in the rain and finds a doctor, he will come back so remember him. She's having a pity party, which I am not judging because she's not having a fun transmigration. The doctor is very nice to her about it.
Yu Wanuin sees flowers planted in the shape of SOS. She also meets the Crown Prince and thinks he might be a transmigrator too. Xiahou Dan seems fairly uninterested in it, Yu Wanuin wants to find another friend. He has it pulled up so that Xie Yonger doesn't catch them.
The two mains go about convincing everyone in court to go along with their complicated and unrevealed plan to bringin the drought crops. They have to give everyone something they want, so part of the plan is building the Empress Dowager a mausoleum. They stage a big scene outside the palace about taxes.
We learn that baby Xiahou Dan was the one who planted the SOS.
