Fu Hao wakes up to find Yashu practicing archery. Consumed by the urge for revenge, she pleads to learn the skill. But first, she must prove herself. Her uncle Ji Li offers a lesson in patience, using rain as a metaphor: Rain builds power to fall; a soul must lie low to rise.

Just then, the village’s peace is suddenly shattered by alarming news – the River God is taking lives! Fear takes hold, and restlessness spreads. Fu Hao curbs her edge, holds fast to her resolve and bides her time.

The Queen's Sword Ep. 9 is now live. Follow Fu Hao as she lies in wait, building strength under the River God's shadow.
