Eternal Love of Dream: Episodes 16 & 17

Round 8 or 9??? Let’s go!!!

A couple of pointers that you may or may not know:

1. You DO NOT need to have seen Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (Eternal Love) to watch this. 2. If you have seen Eternal Love, ignore what happens between these two. (They weren’t able to gain copyright access to this novel for Eternal Love, so their storyline was made up and put in as a filler) 3. This is based on a novel, you don’t need to read the novel but it is a great read if you’re interested. 4. I may refer to this as The Pillow Book or TPB. 5. Lastly, there will be some comparisons and I will relate to the novel at times.

Also spoilers, maybe? (If you haven’t seen these episodes yet)

Episode sixteen

Where would historical dramas be without their loving evil mothers? Ah... She doesn’t seem to be evil so that’s something to appreciate. Not the obnoxious type of evil... at least. 

Let’s have some appreciation for all the flowers in this drama.

Please... it hurts to see him on the screen every time...

Just. Lmao. 

The stone knows more about them than those two fools know about themselves.

dONGhUA??? Is THAT YOU??? (no just a lovesick song xuanren)

The way his thumb was just running over her fingers. *sigh* I’m lonely. 

If this is the fcking content we’re getting for a kiss scene imagine the steamier scenes. My God. My body is ready. *asdfghjk*

Cheng Yu checking up on her daug- *ahem* new bestie. 

Yes. More fake instrument playing. A highlight of The Untamed. 

Yooo, yeah, so. Remember when I said I was ready for the steamier scenes. NOT. THIS. FCKING. SOON.  

*proceeds to scream internally for the rest of this* 

GOD DAMN IT SONG XUANREN!!!!!!!!!!!

Episode seventeen

Honestly, this is the most book vibing scene I feel we’ve had so far. (Spoilers: Later in the novel, Fengjiu is drafting up a weapon and takes over Donghua’s study. He doesn’t mind and continues to do his usual all while keeping her company. Then he builds her a conservatory/pavilion for her so she can study outside and admire the scenery. If that’s not couple goals, I don’t know what is Also, Donghua just wanted his study back because it was becoming crowded, lmao. It is the thought that counts.)  

Such a big a** mood. 

Bless these few scenes we get of them together. I need my man Ye Qingti to do a modern drama, I bet he looks good with short hair too. 

What a power couple. 

When evil schemes are in the plot I prefer it being shown in a subtle way before the big reveal. The Untamed did that extremely well and I mean fcking extremely well. I love it when we build up to revealing the crimes all in one blow. 

Is she really gone for good this time though??? (I suppose she is because she isn’t brought up after Ji Heng and Min Su part ways in the novel) Well... she seems like a wonderful actress. Best of luck in the future! I may see you in another drama someday and hopefully, you won’t be killed off. 

See you next time! Any questions and I will try my best to answer them!

episodes 14 & 15 

episodes 18 & 19

Eternal Love of Dream - Episode 22

Still trying to move on. Still trapped by my love for Ye Qingti. Don’t show me donghua, I don’t care about him and his tears. He woke up and a servant whose I don’t remember his name comes. He says that if he wants to know what happened, he can just ask Siming. But Donghua is like no need to since it’s already all in the past.

Nie Chuyin got his hands on the soul sealing jade and is hesitating about if he should give it or not to the Demon queen. What if she doesn’t keep her promise? Then he won’t be able to give back the power to his tribe and he might even die.

Yan Chiwu is working really hard to make Ji Heng get back her memories. Seems like he found a way. But the process hurts her a lot. I think she sealed herself her memories. He says it’s okay if it didn’t work, he’ll find another way, even though he already tried many. But it worked and she remembers everything. He’s so happy when she call out his name. I am sad for him somehow. Because he will never get her, I can feel it. Nice guys never get the girl. She asks him why is he so nice to her and he just says because he likes her, of course he should treat her well. He says he will never give up on her. She asks him to go get some herbs for her, but she’s probably going to leave.

Lian Song goes to see Siming and asks about what happened to Donghua for his trial but Siming won’t say anything. So Lian Song asks him if tries to keep protecting that person, isn’t it because he has a crush? He denies that and says the person who wants to protect that person is Chengyu. lol. He asks if it was a woman or a man though, and Siming is like who do you think Donghua spent his trial with a man or a woman?

Nie Chuyin decided to give the demon Queen the soul locking jade.

Chiyan gets back home only to see that Ji Heng left. She gave a note in which he instructed not to follow her. He then finds Nie Chuyin and fights with him. He asks him he would hurt her but he claims that he saved her. That she stayed in the mortal realm willingly.

Fengjiu is going back to Qingqiu. Chengyu is waiting for her there. She asks her if she’s wearing so plain clothes because of Song Xuanren, but she says it’s because of Ye Qingti. Yeah, you should. Poor Qingti. She says she realized now that she wasn’t trying to pay back her debt, but she just couldn’t give up Donghua. It cost the life of Ye Qingti and almost ruined Donghua’s trial. Now she really gave up.

BAI QIAN! My dear Bai Qian, she’s going to ease my heart, sill so hurt by Qingti’s death. Awww my Bai Qian <3 She scolds a little bit Fengjiu and asks how come her body’s hurt from using her powers in the mortal realm. She scolds her a little bit more, she can lose face, but she can’t let Qingqiu lose face. She trusts her though and we make the medicine for her to heal. When Fengjiu leaves, Bai Qian asks Ahli to go and see if he can make Fengjiu a little less sad.

So Fengjiu makes Ah Li dress like a girl, Wow. Maybe they used a little girl to play Ah li just for that scene, I don’t know haha. There are going to the village. Really quickly, Fengjiu lost Ahli. His love for bingtang hulu hasn’t changed. When Fengjiu tries to look for him, she saves somebody. Then that person asks for her name and she’s trying to not say it when Ah Li runs in calling her Fengjiu which makes everybody recognize her and bow to her. Hahaha. Ah Li <3 They have no choice but to go back then. Back home, Fengjiu sends Ah Li back to his mom. Ah Li is such a smart child though.

Lian Song tries to convince Chengyu to help him at organizing some event, but she doesn’t want to and he keeps on humiliating himself. I like that couple much more than the main one haha. They are more interesting. I really don’t care for Donghua and Fengjiu hahaha. Why I am still watching this? Just to know if my Qingti will come back and meet a girl a thousand times better than Fengjiu. And because the ost is beautiful. I always listen to the whole opening and the whole ending songs. I love them a lot!

[sarah-yyy]

Honestly, I would like to sincerely thank every single person who voted for Xu Shaoying, I was STUNNED, I cannot believe we got him to round 2, I'm so happy. Everyone who voted for him even one time is officially my hero, XSY FOR SURPRISE DARK HORSE DIDI.

It’s you....

Light Chaser Rescue 1.02

[woo-do-hwan]

Eternal Love of Dream: Episodes 14 & 15

Hellooo, I’m back in full swing...

A couple of pointers that you may or may not know:

1. You DO NOT need to have seen Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (Eternal Love) to watch this. 2. If you have seen Eternal Love, ignore what happens between these two. (They weren’t able to gain copyright access to this novel for Eternal Love, so their storyline was made up and put in as a filler) 3. This is based on a novel, you don’t need to read the novel but it is a great read if you’re interested. 4. I may refer to this as The Pillow Book or TPB. 5. Lastly, there will be some comparisons and I will relate to the novel at times.

Also spoilers, maybe? (If you haven’t seen these episodes yet)

Episode fourteen

Gotta appreciate Song Xuanren’s efforts in courting Fengjiu. 

I must say this kind of hurts because Fengjiu has to stop herself from falling in love (well more in love with him) while Xuanren is oblivious to it all. 

The way he stares at her though. Get a man like that. 

Don’t @ me but I ship it. 

How every jealous man begins his journey... 

Song Xuanren being a jealous babie 

She thinks of Donghua (i.e him) while he thinks of Qingti. Ah... the drama. Love it. 

Yes, how every court scheme likes to begin itself. Just add a bit of poison to the script and everything goes splendidly afterwards.

oH dear. Looks like we’re turning into a murder mystery for the next few eps. dun dun dunnnn. 

I have my eye on you sir. We all know you’re guilty. 

She. doesn’t. deserve. to. be. framed.

Episode fifteen 

Could the show stop giving us scenes like this because we all know everyone is going to end up with a broken heart. Please & thank you. A fan of the show. 

You know that scene in Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016) Wang So visits Hae So when she’s in a similar situation to right now? So. Many. Feels. 

He’s so in love with her but I’m so in love with him. *sigh* 

Ah... the villain trying to prove he’s on the side of the King. Very dramatic. I must say. *applause for the scene going somewhere I didn’t expect*

**** Sorry for this being short :/ **** (I’ve always found mortal arcs to be a bit slow but we’re trudging through it) 

See you next time! Any questions and I will try my best to answer them! 

Episodes 12 & 13

Episodes 16 & 17

[woo-do-hwan]

Eternal Love of Dream: Episodes 10 & 11

Wooo! We’ve hit the double figures. This drama is going by fast when it airs and then we hit the days where it doesn’t air, I feel empty inside.

Stuff you may know or may not know to coincide with this:

1. You DO NOT need to have seen Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (Eternal Love) to watch this. 2. If you have seen Eternal Love, ignore what happens between these two. (They weren’t able to gain copyright access to this novel for Eternal Love, so their storyline was made up and put in as a filler) 3. This is based on a novel, you don’t need to read the novel but it is a great read if you’re interested. 4. I may refer to this as The Pillow Book or TPB. 5. Lastly, there will be some comparisons and I will relate to the novel at times.

Clearly spoiler alert!

Episode ten

Of course, Fengjiu decides to visit when Dongua’s reincarnation is in trouble. Typical. 

Fengjiu does have great swordsmanship I cannot deny that but I just want to shake my head through this entire scene. The two things Si Ming tells her not to do, she does. 

As much as I love these two having a moment, staring into each other's eyes, this is not the time to be doing it. Seriously! You’re in the middle of a battlefield. Make gooey eyes in the bedroom. (even that’s a few weeks away *sigh*) 

Why do I sense he’s going to regret saying that? (I can’t really give much away about what happens in the mortal realm in the book because it’s not really focused on. The main thing that is mentioned about the mortal realm is Ye Qingti.) 

WHY WOULD HE LIE!!!??? She may have even damaged her immortal root *sigh* I fear this is going to creep up in later episodes towards the end. 

Ah, we return to the usual royal court scheming found in almost every historical drama. Name me one that doesn’t include evil schemes, I’ll wait. 

**I’m sorry, I really don’t have much to comment on in this episode**

I present to you, the devil on Xuanren’s left shoulder and the angel on the right. 

This show should not be letting me get attached to the wrong characters >.<

Isn’t Donghua always searching for Fengjiu?  I am now presenting the evidence.  Exhibit A. He was searching for her after she left as a fox.  Exhibit B. Searching for her currently.  Exhibit C. (this is to come) Then she bumped into him and fell into water appearing as a woman. He has to search for her obviously because ofc Donghua’s mortal reincarnation has to fall in love at first sight.  Exhibit D. (also to come) She disappears again, which she believes for forever, don’t worry, Donghua forces her out of hiding.  Therefore, Donghua is always searching for Fengjiu and he has to technically search for his true love. Fengjiu always disappears at the wrong times.  Thank you for coming to my TED talk. 

Episode Eleven

Welcome to Fengjiu’s ‘oh sh*t i fcked up’ face haha. Should have listened to those warnings. I’m starting to realise why people are getting fed up with Fengjiu’s character. But, I’m stubborn. I’m not letting it get to me. 

Fengjiu would have gone down in a heartbeat if you gave her the option to be Donghua’s lover. I think about that sometimes and cry. It’s okay though Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms gave us that storyline, even that was painful to get through. 

But could we just address how do mortals fly through the sky in combat scenes? I can not do that. To be fair I haven’t been in a fight to test it out though. 

Now that was just creepy the way they just died like that...

I know the show won’t word for word 100% per cent stick to the novel but Ji Heng was never in the mortal realm. But, they’re doing a great job in coming up with a plotline for the mortal realm though.

Fengjiu staring uncomfortably at Xuanren (in his opinion) for 24 seconds straight. yes. I counted. In Fengjiu’s opinion, it’s probably staring at her long lost lover admirably whilst she can. (Before she has to go back and forget about him. Pretending she’s not in love with him still.) 

Appreciating Donghua’s happy go lucky phase before he goes back to his nonchalant self. 

STOP. MAKING. ME. FALL. IN. LOVE. WITH. YOU. Can we bring Bai Zhen back real quick?  Ye Qingti is an important character, watch out for him. (Not in an evil way)

this screenshot was unintentional but i’ve decided to share. lmaooooooooo. 

The moment Xuanren falls in love. (I really want to reread the novel to pinpoint the moment Donghua fell in love with Fengjiu)

Protect this man at all costs. 

“Ah sh*t, here we go again.”

Acting. On. Point. 

She knows she won that fight with no effort. 

“Bring me, someone who can do that better, I’ll wait.”  “Haha, better than all of you.” “Men! Ha. Look what I just did better than all of you.”  “Bow down to me.” 

And we’re finished. Questions? Please ask and I’ll try my best to answer them.  See you next time!

Eternal Love of Dream: Episodes 20 & 21

Let’s head in! Beware. Spoilers!

Episode twenty 

Sad to say but we’re still on the mortal arc... [to be fair I do kind of like this mortal arc. Ashes of Love had a great mortal arc too, kind of wished that was the main story tbh.] 

I’m really not sure of this plot??? Really kind of feels like a filler to me... I’m not saying it’s a bad filler but just why...? What would the brother get for being King? The satisfaction of winning against his brother I guess... the usual route for plots like this. 

If they had stopped talking for one second and jumped onto the horses, they both could have avoided the confrontation. But no. Fengjiu had to add to her suffering and go back. 

Pain.

I should probably start taking this guy seriously knowing he’s about to go through some stuff. 

I would just like to say. DAMN. The way he literally forcefully grabs her face, I felt it through the screen. 

Oh no, no, no. 

Something bad is about to happen, right?

Ah... Yes. You can never go wrong with the brother plot. Success rates always 90~100% 

Episode twenty one

The thing I was dreading the most is finally here. *sigh* I knew it was happening from the start. I didn’t expect to get attached to him. This is why I try not to form attachments to fictional characters. We won’t get to see him for a while now. I’m gonna miss you for those 20-30 episodes... 

But I can talk about what I’ve been wanting too for a while now! Woo. Spoilers: Fengjiu promises to bring him back and mourn him for three lifetimes. Now, some may disagree with me here and I don’t mind (I love a good book discussion) but Ye Qingti is a very important character to the novel. He primarily drives Fengjiu’s plot in the novel, if it wasn’t for him dying and Fengjiu wanting to save his life she would not have risked her own to get a piece of fruit (it’s magical dw). Therefore she would have never entered Aranya’s Dream & Donghua wouldn’t have followed her in to save her thus their relationship wouldn’t have grown like it did. (I consider Aranya’s dream to be the establishment of Donghua’s feelings because, by the end of it, there is no doubt in the world that Donghua has not set aside his heart for Fengjiu.) Others may say Donghua does play an equally important role here as well and I completely agree, if she didn’t have a crush on Donghua, she wouldn’t have gone to the mortal world and met Ye Qingti and she wouldn’t have ended up in Fanyin Valley. Then it would mean, they truly did have no fate. Without Donghua & Qingti there would have been no book. 

Shh... I teared up watching this. Another fictional death to add to the book *sigh* 

Hey! Don’t play me like this! I know when he comes back so just don’t. 

There’s just something about this scene that I love... just the way it was filmed... 

Song Xuanren doesn’t believe it and neither do I. 

Back to the nine heavens we go. Yay. 

Okay... okay. I do feel bad for Song Xuanren... died of a broken heart. That’s one way to finish a love misfortune trial off in a bang. 

Donghua. Finally. But, interesting take, emotions instead of the memories. I suppose they have to give the viewers something, I’m sure this will have a bigger impact on the audience as well when he discovers it was Fengjiu. 

See you next time!  Any questions please ask and I will try my best to answer them.

Episode eighteen

Well, that’s one assassination attempt gone very wrong.

Angry babie. (I can’t take Song Xuanren seriously anymore... forgive me)

Ayeee. Yan Chiwu, you’re back! You have no idea how much I missed you. 

Why do I get Bai Qian vibes here? 

So close yet so far apart. 

I smell jealousy. (Alexa, play Jealousy by Monsta X) 

When it’s been a long day and you have to contemplate breaking a man’s heart. (Alexa, play Someone you Loved by Lewis Capaldi) 

Beautiful scenery. [screenshot probably doesn’t do it justice] 

I don’t even hate this. 

*sigh* He’s even the type to drop everything in order to run away. 

It’s starting. Now, this is when the mortal arc gets interesting, lmao. 

Episode nineteen

Hmm, my guess is you. 

Noooo. I’m gonna get you out of there! No matter what it takes.

Fengjiu, I thought we had established by now that Song Xuanren is very much in love with you and out of his mind. 

Anyone remember that scene from Eternal Love? Donghua stares at Fengjiu like he is so inexplicably in love with her, whilst she is wearing a similar outfit to this but in red. I miss those times. 

Ah, Song Xuanren. You have no idea what is about to hit you. 

See you next time! Any questions and I will try my best to answer them!

Eternal Love of Dream: Episodes 12 & 13

Into the chaos, we go...

(Apologies for the delay, I was distracted by another drama...)

*Just look at that poster. I can’t wait for these moments.* 

A couple of pointers that you may or may not know: 

1. You DO NOT need to have seen Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (Eternal Love) to watch this. 2. If you have seen Eternal Love, ignore what happens between these two. (They weren’t able to gain copyright access to this novel for Eternal Love, so their storyline was made up and put in as a filler) 3.

Also spoilers, maybe? (If you haven’t seen these episodes yet)

I think we can all agree by now, we’re all watching these episodes at least three times each, if not, what are you doing with yourself? 

Episode twelve   

You got that right but you’re still gonna act like a fool! Could we move back to the nine heavens? I miss Donghua. 

Yes!!! #president#oursaviour#fengjiu’sprotectionsquad

It’s like you’ve just woken up and your parents are here to scold you! haha. Cheng Yu being the mother and Si Ming was just dragged along. He’s just trying to be a supportive father. 

Cheng Yu is the queen in my book. (sorry fengjiu!) She’s sooo right. Fengjiu suffers emotionally the most out of all of this. 

Saying what we are all thinking at this point. Well, I am, at least... 

Really???????????????????????????????????????????????????

Yes. We would all like to know. If Ji Heng wasn’t in the mortal realm, this arc would be 5 eps at the most, not even 5. 

The seed in Fengjiu’s head is growing. (the misunderstanding that Donghua likes Ji Heng)

If people could be spirit animals, Cheng Yu is mine. 

Cheng Yu.... lmao. 

I like how she only went to collect the drawing for Fengjiu but ended up having to go on a date. Liansong’s deception skills 10/10.

Let us say yes and be done with it. We’ve got to protect Fengjiu and me from this emotional pain. I’m already preparing myself for a certain someone’s storyline and that’s painful enough.

HA! Xuanren is the exact opposite of Donghua. Hmm, maybe not though. Ignore me. 

(18+ for the next bit. It’s not explicit but it references things in the bedroom department. I’d say it’s pretty tame but still, tread lightly.)

Ah, here we go. The moment we all wait for in every show, to discover who is top and who is bottom in the realtionship.

And we’re preparing. Just a thought, although Fengjiu is EXTREMELY innocent, I could totally see her being a switch once she got used to it. But who am I kidding? Donghua wouldn’t even give her the chance. (I should shut up.) 

ICONIC. 

And we’ve established the top & bottom debate. Donghua, without even needing to discuss is the dominant one. (I’ve gotta put a warning on this part now... ahh. The warning is over now.) 

I know this is Song Xuanren, but don’t you just want to slap him? Fengjiu has been, currently and will be in love with the man standing in front of her for forever. No matter what form he appears in. 

(credits to whoever made this) 

This is going to be painful for all parties involved.  A. Fengjiu is in love with him and has now been asked to destroy his heart.  B. She’s adding to her own misery. C. Breaks Xuanren’s heart.  D. Donghua won’t even know. (shhh. this is from a future ep. shhh. I should pretend I don’t know this yet. It’s all you to keep this secret now.) E. The third-party involved in this will also end up with their heart crushed. F. I’ll be in pain from watching A-E occurring.

Episode thirteen

Yeahhhhhh you have. 

Damn it! I was just waiting for a double identity scene. She pretends to be both characters... aww. *You missed out on peak comedy here @ the writers*

*sigh* I should be happier. 

Ye Qingti... you are my only hope. Don’t let me down man. 

I think everyone saw this coming, it plays well into still keeping the plot of the novel as well. The novel didn’t say much about about the mortal realm, except (Spoilers: Ye Qingti and Fengjiu were married and I vaguely remember Donghua & Fengjiu didn’t meet whilst in the mortal realm either.) Although I like the decision to include the mortal realm because it is vital to Fengjiu’s plot and character development, I personally would have liked to have seen more relationship development between Fengjiu & Qingti (speaking of future episodes) instead of it focusing on Donghua. But, I understand the writers' decision because the show is based on Fengjiu & Donghua. I mean we’ll probably get to see more emotions on Donghua’s part when he realises Fengjiu has been accompanying him for the past too many years to count, we’re probably up to 100,000 right? 

Also this is my mood at Si Ming currently: 

Me                                                                         Si Ming

Me & Fengjiu thinking of this at exactly the same time. The power. 

IT’s YOU, YOU DUMMY!!!!!!

*facepalm* 

She misses him >.< Same girl, same. 

Ah.. this look we’ll have to get used to. 

I’m just putting it out there... but I think he had already when she was a man... ngl. I can imagine Donghua being bisexual... I said what I said. 

Side note: Their subtle references to Donghua, the purple ribbon and the thing that is hanging from his belt?? (I’m not sure... someone has said before what they are.) 

And we’re finished! Any questions I will do my best to answer them.  See you next time!

Eternal Love of Dream - Episode 16

So the King gives a lot of gifts to Xiaojiu but she doesn’t seem to be very happy about them. And she indeed isn’t really happy and asks him to take them back because it makes her feel uncomfortable. Being appointed as a wife is already more than enough. So he was giving her all of this to make up for having her sent to jail when she was innocent and he’s worried that she resents him. But of course, she doesn’t. So he asks her what does she want then. So she holds his hand and starts a phrase, but she can’t seem to remember. It’s something Ye Hua says to Bai Qian and makes happy. She tries to says it again, but she really can’t remember, but Xuanren completes it for her. So basically, it’s a wish to grow old together.

While doing his round with the other soldiers, Qingti comes across Fengjiu’s palace and she asks to have a talk with him. He agrees. He also had something to tell her, but before he can even say anything, she gives him a whole bunch of ointment. He was about to give back to her the ointment she gave him previously. Poor Qingti. If he finishes it, just ask for some more so she doesn’t have to see him injured anymore. My heart aches so much for him TT

Next thing you know, Xuanren wants to take her somewhere, but when they are about to leave, the eunuch comes in because Chuwan is sick. It seems like Xuanren doesn’t really want to go see her, but Fengjiu convinces him to go and have a look, they can go out some other time, somebody’s life is more important. He agrees, but she has to go with him. He called the imperial doctor, but when he takes her pulse, he can’t really understand why it is so weird, he never saw something like this before. Fengjiu says it’s normal that her pulse would be weird since she’s from the demon clan. Chuwan also knows that, well she knows she’s not exactly normal and asks to be able to rest for two days before they invite doctors to look at her.

Oh wow. He takes her to the secret hiding of the jade. Then he kind of pats underneath her jaw and her fox side kind of gets awaken. She’s like “how nice Diju” and then realizes what she just said. And did probably, because it’s extremely weird. He touches the jade and starts shining. His said that it’s because it’s a sign he should protect it. Then he tells Fengjiu to touch it too and see if it will shine too. And it does and he’s so excited. He wants her to help to enhance the traps in the hidden palace, so it’s better guarded.

Xuanren hurts himself and Fengjiu gets angry because he wasn’t paying attention hence got injured. She fortunately had ointment on her and she treats his wound. Then realized she didn’t follow the rules again and she asks for punishment. But then he’s like I liked how you were treating me, I am sure my dad and mom were like this together too. And they finally kiss. It was kind of about time. However, she shouldn’t let him kiss her. She has to break his heart... Anyways. She then remembers what Siming said, that Xuanren isn’t Donghua and she stops kissing him to go back working on the plans.

A few days later? Xuanren goes to Fengjiu’s palace to enjoy the full moon and he plays guqin for her. So she dances for him. Then... I am not sure, is it a dream or did it happen? They did sleep together? I hope not. So it was a dream, she never came to his palace. Good. Yep, he drank too much and Qingti took him back to his own palace. It’s sure they are going to use Qingti to break those two apart but... it’s going to kill the poor guy... He won’t even have a little love from Xiaojiu.

He calls Qingti and asks if he ever said anything weird when he was sleepy, but he was passed out because of alcohol. Then he says he actually called Qingti so he could taste his baked sweet potatoes. Qingti is like what the hell. Xuanren asks him how does it taste and he’s like... erm... well it tastes like baked sweet potato? But Xuanren is like, no but compared to the baked potatoes you had before, is it better. Poor Qingti, he doesn’t know, he doesn’t eat that. So he’s like, but is it better than the ones you baked? And Qingti is thinking omg he’s going crazy, I never baked sweet potatoes. Xuanren is just so happy about that. He says lately he just loves eating baked potatoes and is doing research in how to make it even better. Qngti probably thinks his king has gone mad and apologizes for not being able to help.

Xuanren made a cake for Xiaojiu and calls it Baihe. The name comes from 百年好合(bǎi nián hǎo hé) which is a wish Chinese people make for a couple to live happily ever after, basically. He made them like this so the meaning behind it is even better than the Wuyou gao. He really wants to surpass that man in Fengjiu’s past.

Eternal Love of Dream - Episode 13

The episode just started, like... it has not been more than a minute and I am already heartbroken. Fengjiu becomes a girl all over again and... YOU SHOULD SEE THE FACE OF THAT POOR QINGTI. I am so sad. Poor little baby. He was doubting his feelings for Xiaojiu and now he realizes she’s a woman. And if she decided to reveal herself, than probably she has feelings for Xuanren, aka his best friend, sworn brother and master. That is just sooooo cruel.

Arrrgh. That Xuanren annoys me so much. And poor Qingti in the back. I hope she won’t keep on falling in love with Xuanren as he is somewhat Dijun and actually will notice how Qingti is better for her. And that they will die together for betraying his majesty. At least, I would be satisfied, even though I absolutely don’t want Qingti to die. He’s my favorite TT

Fengjiu get to chose a maid to take her of her and she choses one that has a butterfly mark on her neck. Seems she’s the reincarnation of that butterfly she liked back at the palace. While talking with her, Fengjiu realizes she might have to sleep with Xuanren hahaha. It’s okay, Qing qiu people aren’t so strict about that. But I believe Fengjiu never spent the night with any guy, so she must be startled.

Naturally, when she comes back from her bath, Xuanren is there waiting for her. Ayo. Poor lady. Oh god. They are sitting on the bed and Fengjiu is just so uncomfortable and Xuanren keeps on touching her. And he’s... why so unoriginal? “the more I look at you, the more I think you’re beautiful” Please. We know you think she’s gorgeous, you saw her like three second and decided that you were in love with her. And he’s just... so confident that she likes him back. Well she kind of does, but... dude, you’re the king, she doesn’t really have a choice. She then starts coughing and says she’s worried she would transmit the disease to him and he seems so disappointed that he has to leave now.

Next thing you know, Fengjiu is baking sweet potatoes again and as you would expect, mister King wants to have a taste. Then she explains why she loves sweet potatoes more than anything else, as it was someone who baked it for her once and he gets all jealous and unhappy. Well, that person is you, but also not you, but you, so don’t be too unhappy.

Ji Heng tricks Xuanren into giving her attention by making him think of his deceased mother. Then, on her way to see the empress dowager, she bumps into Xuanren’s big brother who intercepted her letter to Nie Chuyin. He threatens her a little bit, but that’s about it.

Then as he promised, Xuanren goes to keep company to consort Chuwan for her mother’s death anniversary, but he doesn’t really look like he wants to be there and not long after, there are news that Xiaojiu fainted so he rushes to her. Sorry Ji Heng, you won’t have the opportunity to keep his majesty’s company. He’s not interested at all into you.

An episode rather slow, not a lot of action, just Fengjiu being a consort and a little sick. Absolutely not enough of Ye Qingti. I hope we will see him later. And that Fengjiu elopes with him. And then kills herself when Xuanren catches them because he killed Ye Qingti. That would be enough of a love trial for Donghua and I would be satisfied about my poor baby. I am not really into fanfics, the last time I ever wrote one I was probably thirteen year old (makes me feel so old now), but if I am too displeased with the development of that story, I might as well just do it and ease my heart on that matter. Anyone else wishing for Ye Qingti and Fengjiu to be together? Or am I just the crazy one because I love the guy so much? Actually, Fengjiu is probably no good for him. He deserves much better but the heart choses where it belongs and doesn’t listen to the brain...

Eternal Love of Dream - Episode 21

Xuanying rushes at his little brother to kill him with the demonic blade Nie Chuyin gave him. Xiaojiu is fighting alongside with Xuanren and she gets stabbed in the process.

Qingti comes along and meets with Nie Chuyin’s underling. NOO. If he dies, I am going to be sooooo mad. Thank god he did not. THANK GOD. That other dude uses his magic powers to flee. Qingti doesn’t run after him and rushes inside the tomb instead. And he stops Xuanying from taking the jade just in time. BUT DON’T FIGHT WITH THIS GUY. HE HAS DEMONIC BLADE TT I swear if Qingti dies, I am not happy. Xuanren seals the jade away again. Qingti pushes Xiaojiu and Xuanren outside. NO. He’s so going to sacrifice himself. I am screaming extremely loudly and I am happy I am living alone otherwise I would be scaring people. Well, maybe my neighbours are scared though. Xiaojiu runs in to help, but Qingti tries to protect her and gets stabbed fiercely by Xuanying. You have no idea how loud I screamed. And now I am crying really loudly. I am... They had no right to kill him TT He was the best. Xiaojiu, take him to Qingqiu, fast. Before he dies on you TT QUICK. It’s not an option you have, you must do it. She uses her magic to push Xuanying away, but Qingti pushes Xiaojiu out and jumps on the whatever it is called, and pulls it down, thus trapping himself inside with the criminals. Qingti TT I yelled so much again. Honestly, I won’t be able to speak tomorrow.

Xuanren has to pull Xiaojiu away while she screams Qingti’s name on and on. Now every time I will watch the opening of this drama I am going to be crying endlessly. I don’t know why, but I loved Qingt just so so much. The drama could have been only about him and I would have been satisfied.

Nie Chuyin’s underling comes to report and says that the king is actually Donghua. They are going back to Chongan for now.

Back at the palace, the doctor has a look at Xiaojiu, but he can’t heal her. She might never wake up again.

Xuanren goes and sees the dowager queen. She’s devastated. She always feared that day would come. She says Xuanying isn’t her son and they shouldn’t bury him. She asks Xuanren to stop hating Ye Qingti, he gave up his life for him, it’s enough. It’s more than enough, you didn’t deserve that he dies for you. As for Xiaojiu, she doesn’t care, she won’t interfere anymore.

Xiaojiu is looking for Qingti in a world of clouds. She found him. My Qingti, but then he disappears. And she wakes up. She misses him. Why do they play a flashback of Qingti’s death? Am I not already destroyed from the first time we saw it? I loved him so much. And now I am crying again. Mu Yun helps her to stand up and asks her what’s that in her hair. She put a white ribbon in it, to commemorate Qingti. She finally fell for him. Well, she finally admitted that she fell for him. Was about time that she acknowledged her feelings. She’s really out of it and is going out for a walk. Mu Yun wants to go with her, but Xiaojiu won’t let her come.

Chengyu comes once again to visit her. Fengjiu tells her how she feels so bad. Chengyu says she can only wait for his next life, maybe then, they will meet again. I hope so. I wish for it so much. Omg, I filled with fictions ideas right now. Should I write them? But what if my understanding of  the characters are wrong ): I just.. I need something to get over Qingti’s death. I was so not ready for this.

Xuanren finds her and wants to take her back, but she won’t go back. She’d rather stay there and look at the moon. So he decides to keep her company. He asks her to be his queen. What a bad timing. Why do you only think of yourself? Qingti just died in front of them and he’s just thinking about how they should start anew. What is wrong with you? Can’t  you see that she’s sad?

The next morning, Fengjiu has disappeared again. She took a horse and left. They can’t find her in the palace, they had news though that somebody saw her riding a horse in direction of the west. So Xuanren orders to get his horse ready. He finds her near the cliff Qingti brought her to. She’s blaming herself for Qingti’s death. When he moves closer to her, she tells him not to come. He tells her he won’t but she has to stay away from the cliff. Then she asks him, didn’t he want to know who was in her heart all this time? And she tells him that the person she liked was Ye Qingti. He says he doesn’t believe her, he asked Qingti. She says that ever since she came to the palace, she never was happy. Then he tells okay, even if you liked him before, now he’s dead. SO INSENSITIVE. HE DIED FOR HER. How can he be so selfish? I dislike him very much. Then he agrees to set her free, he doesn’t ask anything of her, she just needs to come to his side and he’ll free her. She says she’s sorry for hurting him and jumps down the cliff. He tries to grab her arm, but his hand slips on the bracelet Chengyu gave he. His soldiers keeps him from falling down. His acting is so bad then. He’s just like opening his mouth. He doesn’t look sad at all.

Xiaojiu is having a talk with some other immortal to ask if he can revive Qingti. He has been contaminated by the demon blade so if they tried, he would always be a demon, always in pain.  Poor Qingti. The only way would be to make him an immortal’s body. So Xiaojiu thinks it’s even better, this way she could see him all the time. WHAT? Is it going to work? But I don’t believe it will. That would be too good to be true. But to make an immortal’s body for a human would be extremely difficult.

The dowager queen begs Xuanren to come back to his senses. She can’t lose both her sons. He tells her he’s sorry for not being filial. And he’s gone crazy. All he does is thinking of Xiaojiu and he’s letting himself die slowly. I dislike him so much. He was blaming her for giving up her life after Qingti’s death and yet he does the same. But then at least Donghua’s trial has ended and it was a success.
