Eternal Love - Overall Review

It took a few years in the making, but there we are and finally I finished my recaps of this series. It was somewhat challenging since I knew all of the major events to happen, yet I had to make sure not to include them in any of my recaps before it actually happened. My fingers might have slipped here and there, but I truly did my best.

Plot

It’s quite the feat to manage summarizing the story of this drama in a few lines without revealing everything. Let’s just say that this about a love story between two immortals, spanning on three different lives. There is a lot of trials, a lot of pain, but also a lot of magic, in any kind of way you can give to this word. Since elaborating on the plot line itself would risk giving away spoilers, which is not the point of this review, I will focus on the characters and their relationship.

We can all agree that Bai Qian/Si Yin/Susu is the main character of this story. She's there from the beginning to the end. I would like to mention the complexity of this character. At times she's quirky, at others she's an elder that no one would dare confront. What I liked about her is that she's very consistent in her character. She's a proud lady and she won't take being insulted, although she's actually a softy deep down inside and can't really hold a grudge for real, it's only to keep face. She's also extremely loyal. I loved that we got to have a strong lady as a main lead. A strong lady that hates to depend even on her partner, even though she relied maybe a little too much on her master, but that's a different story. She made sense, from A to Z. She wasn't perfect, no she had plenty of flaws, but that's what made her even more relatable and actually admirable. Her relationship with Yehua sometimes evolved weirdly, it felt maybe like we could have used a little more development, but at the same time... it wasn't illogical at all.

And I can't talk about Bai Qian without mentioning Yehua, right? Seriously, that character is everything. I loved how we portrayed his struggles, why he strives so much to please everyone and do the right thing, all the time. It was painful, yet blissful to see his growth, seeing him discover love and happiness along the hardships. The guy was obviously a little too powerful, but I liked the openness he had about his feelings towards Bai Qian, how he was set on one thing and wouldn't change his mind. He needs still to learn about communication, because that would have solved many issues and saved a lot of tears on my part, but he's still young. 70 000 something years old, that ain't that old right?

The one part of the storyline that I really didn't like is the one between Donghua and Fengjiu. My problem isn't that their love isn't fated to be fulfilled, but rather that it's pathetic. To me, Fengjiu liking Donghua doesn't make sense. It feels more like a fan who is mistaken between feelings of love and feelings of admiration. I'm also not a fan of people hanging on to others, even though it's not meant to be, it's just annoying. She kept clinging onto him and I just don't appreciate seeing women portrayed that way.

But let's talk about one my favourite pair of characters: Zhe Yan and Bai Zhen. Those two. Seriously. Who wouldn't like them? It's obvious that they are a little bit more than friends, even though it is never openly said in the drama. But they just fight like an old married couple all the time. I think one of my favourite moment is when Zheyan makes a new arm for Yehua, arguing that it would look bad on his wedding day with Bai Qian if he only had one, and that just totally made sense as an explanation to Bai Zhen, who also agrees. It's just lovely how they always think of each other, in every circumstances. Plus, even though most of the time they are rather carefree, they both are really powerful characters and I think without their help, our main characters would never have found each other.

Li Jing is also a character that has shown a lot of growth during the drama. Perhaps under the influence of Bai Qian. He really broke my heart, because he did try his best, even though that wasn't enough.

Now let's mention the two ladies antagonizing Bai Qian: Xuan Nü and Sujin. Whereas Xuan Nü is pitiful, Sujin is despicable. Both ladies got to grow up next to people who were important, but the first one was always remembered of her low status, while the other one felt entitled to everything. They both tried to take away the men from Bai Qian and both failed. And I must say, I really liked Xuan Nü's character. To be more correct I guess, I must say that I liked disliking her. She's ready to do anything to get whatever she wants and gets delusional in the end. Basically, she created her own hell herself, crafted it one piece at a time. Her downfall was slow, painful and led her to lose her mind. That was actually fabulous in way. On the other hand, Sujin character's didn't impress me as much. She's just a spoiled lying brat who's used to get what she wants, on the pretext that her family died for the celestial group. She has always coveted what doesn't belong to her so yeah. They just made her into an ugly character that didn't have much depth. I don't like female characters like that, because I think it puts woman in a bad light.

Over all, the plot was pretty decent. I remember though when I tried to explain it to my sisters, they thought I was crazy for watching something like this haha. I mean, stuff happens in Chinese dramas sometimes, it's okay. It wasn't perfect and some stuff were very frustrating, but it's an overall 8/10 for me.

Acting

Here, I would say I'm biased. I'm a huge Yang Mi's fan. She's just great. So to me, she did an awesome job, with all the little habits the character has. She keeps pushing them forward and it looks natural. I loved the subtle differences between Susu and Bai Qian, coming from her memory loss. Loved also when she was acting as Xuan Nü stealing Bai Qian's face. You can see that she's talented and polyvalent. There's not a time I didn't believe that what happened. was real.

And I can't say one thing wrong about Zhao Youting's acting either. He was beyond expectations, as Moyuan and Yehua. How much his gaze would mean a lot, you could know what he felt just through his eyes. Both Yehua and Moyuan weren't very expressive characters, mostly cold to anyone but Bai Qian (as they should), but it didn't feel like the usual "I'm trying to look like I'm cold so I'm just not acting". There were nuances all along, making it alive instead of zombie like. You could feel all the warmth those two characters had to offer once they started liking someone. Especially as Yehua, who was a character that grew up with so much pressure on him.

I'm not going to spend too much time on the other characters, because otherwise this review is going to be overly long. However, I still have a few actors to praise. Both Sujin and Xuan Nü did an amazing job, especially Xuan Nü towards the end, when she was on her downfall and getting crazier by the day. Those two ladies, albeit having a not so nice personna did a very good job. They made me feel exactly how I should towards them. Pity, hatred, resentment... All of that. The actor for Siming was also hilarious, while very good at the more serious occasions. Loved loved Alan Yu as Bai Zhen, but this guy is just so precious, I always want to pinch his cheeks in general, but even more so in this character. Do I have to mention baby Ali? That child is soooo adorable. Obviously, they were pretty young back then so it wasn't perfect, but it felt so naive and real, I loved it. Even though I am not a fan of Fengjiu, Dilraba Dilmurat did an awesome job. She's a master at pouting while still looking adorable. We could feel all the melancholy of her character from her unfulfilled romance. She did great also looking all feisty for her aunt when she felt she was being bullied.

The only character I wasn't so fond of his acting was... Gao Weiguang as Donghua. Whereas Zhao Youting portrays beautifully a cold character, it didn't make the cut for me in Donghua's case. It felt very awkward for me. Not to say he didn't do a good job, it's just that compared to Zhao Youting, it didn't stand a chance.

Overall, this drama gets a lot of point for the acting. I didn't even mention all of the wonderful characters, because there are just too many to talk about each of them. However I would say a majority did a stellar job. So this gets a 9/10, losing points for some of the side characters that were a little less enticing.

Soundtrack

I think it is no secret that I just looooove Eternal Love's soundtrack. Both the opening and the ending of the drama are on my playlist, I almost never skip it when it comes along and they both figure on my KTV must sing list. It's just beautiful, it pairs well with the drama and the story. What else can I say?

But it's not all about the opening and the ending. Whenever there was music in this drama, I couldn't help but be delighted. It always was most fitting to the actual action right at that moment. It was perfection. Whenever I heard the notes starting to play, I was right into the feels, it set the tone for whatever was happening. They did an awesome job in my opinion.

Overall, this is a 10/10, it was just perfect. I couldn't ask for anything better than that.

Aesthetic and costumes

So this being an older drama, it's going to lose a little bit of points here. Not because it's bad, it's just... old. If I did my review right when it first aired, the score might have been different, but how well.

Let's first talk about costumes. I would say I loved most of them? It wasn't all perfect, but the costumes really fitted each of the characters personality, and very well at that. I especially enjoyed Yehua's costume and his head pieces. Lexu and Sujin were also beautifully dressed all the time. I think they had the most intricate costumes of the drama. Perhaps alongside with Xuan Nü as she was queen of Yi. I wasn't such a fan of Bai Qian's clothes half of the time. I liked her monocolour clothing more than the multicolour ones. Sometimes the colours kind of didn't fit together and it bothered my eyes. I also couldn't help but think that her headpieces must have been very uncomfortable. But one thing I really liked was the consistency of the hairstyles for the Fox tribe people. Their hair were pulled back in a similar manner for all of them, except Fengjiu and Bai Zhen, for some mysterious reason. I also liked the general simplicity of the costumes for most characters. As much as I like beautiful clothing, I enjoyed that instead of focusing on what they were wearing, I would focus more on their facial expressions and their body language.

About the visuals... There were beautiful scenes (especially in Kunlunxu, Qingqiu and the Peach Blossom forest), but the unfortunate thing was that most of it were painting or pictures and we could see quite clearly the cut around the actors. It wasn't very seamless and kind of ruined part of the thing for me. Also, the beasts and creatures looked really cheap. Probably because they weren't as advanced in that field. But if I look back, it wasn't that much better in Till the End of the Moon which is much more recent. So overall, they really didn't do too bad, right?

So overall, this would be a 7/10, but mostly because it didn't age that well. It's pretty impressive for back then and this is actually a pretty good rating in my opinion.

Should you watch this drama?

I 100% recommend to watch Eternal Love. I think it belongs to the classics in terms of drama, even though it's not that old. It has everything a good story needs. The character development is super interesting. The acting is superior. The story is enticing and of course, there are some toxicity as to be expected of something a little older, but it's not overly present compared to other dramas. Actually, toxic traits during the relationship was something to work on. Seriously, this is a solid 9/10, I watched it twice and if I ever have some more time, I would rewatch without hesitation.

olá mods! animadissima e contando os dias pra ver a central, gostei do balanceamento de vagas e não acho que vocês devem repensar ou mudar alguma coisa, quem quer jogar procura outro fc e tá tudo bem. eu mesmo pensei em fc coreano, tenho duas opções de corenos, mas vendo a disputa vou tentar buscar um japonês, talvez um chinês. aceito dicas de fcs entre 99 e 03 ❤ ^^

Olá, meu bem! Agradecemos muito seu apoio! Particularmente, o balanceamento não é tão preocupante para nós porque, como nós dissemos, nosso interesse não é deixar ninguém de fora, mas sim agregar, então estamos super dispostas a pensar em soluções para que o pessoal que não consiga sua reserva possa jogar também - mas que não apaguem nosso esforço em encaixar cada família daquele jeitinho. Só que, como nós somos flexíveis, os players têm de ser flexíveis também, é uma via de mão dupla que depende de ambos para funcionar. Nós não temos muita noção de quantas pessoas vão realmente aplicar na hora do vamos ver, portanto as coisas estão bastante nubladas - afinal, uma promo bem movimentada não quer dizer que a central também será assim. Não queremos tomar decisões precipitadas.

Juntamos algumas sugestões de faceclaims masculinos, mas se quiser femininos, podemos fazer uma listinha também.

JAPONESES — Honda Kyoya (1999), Hagiwara Riku (1999), Mizuguchi Yuto (1999), Kanemoto Yoshinori (2000), Atsuki Mashiko (2000), Osaki Shotaro (2000), Hamada Asahi (2001), Terazono Keita (2001), Takahashi Fumiya (2001), Hosoda Kanata (2001), Takata Mashiho (2001), Ohira Shuzo (2001), Hayase Reo (2002), Itagaki Rihito (2002), Nakusawa Shota (2003), Imai Kairi (2003), Maeda Riku (2003).

Eternal Love - Episode 58 Final Episode

This is it. The last episode of this drama. Can you believe it? I made it. It's been a long time since I started reviewing this series and finally after a long hiatus I'm completing it. And I'm so glad I did.

Bai Qian guesses that Bai Zhen took her to see Sujin on purpose. She has it worse. Then she doesn't want to walk anymore, so they go to a tea house. Owned by Yanzhi. They talk about the past. Ali comes over because he felt the energy of a spiritual and wanted to know who it was. He's pretty happy to see his mom. Bai Qian wonders where he's headed too. The guards are feeling uneasy and don't really want to tell her. Ali tells her he's going to pay his respects to his dad. He wants her to come along.

The Emperor wants to compensate Yuanzhen for wrongly punishing him. At first, he declines. But since he insists, he says that he wish to go see Bai Qian and that he doesn't dare to go because his status is so low. She used to be his master when he was in the mortal realm and he wants to pay his respects to her. The Emperor isn't ready yet to let him go see her.

Poor Ali, he just got to see his father's grave for the first time and they take him away already to let Bai Qian alone. She dreams of Yehua once more. Then she leaves. Ali needs to go back to study. She tells him not to overdo it and to rest if he doesn't want to read, but he's really Yehua's son.

Something weird is happening around Yehua's coffin. Zilan reports to the Emperor. Sangji suggests that maybe Yehua isn't dead. The Emperor asks to fetch Moyuan to check it out. Moyuan does cool magic tricks and Yehua opens up his eyes. He's aliiiiive! Moyuan tells him to go to Bai Qian, she has been waiting for him. So Yehua barely greets his family and runs away to his lady.

Bai Qian meets again with Yehua's cousin. She tells her that something happened to Yehua's coffin and that he might not be dead, which would be good, because then Ali wouldn't be crying all the time. She rushes to his palace, but nobody is aware yet. She's about to collapse again. But fortunately, Moyuan guessed she would have gone to Xiwu Palace, so he tells her everything.

They finally reunite again. Thank god, Bai Zhen thought of bringing over Ali, otherwise nobody would have gone for him. It's just that Yehua told Zheyan to play chess with him at least seven games before he can go see his mom and dad. Zheyan and Bai Zhen decides not to torment poor Ali and instead of playing chess, they tell him about Bai Qian when she was young. I love how they're like 'there's enough to tell for them to get you a sibling'. Bai Zhen and Zheyan are probably one of my favourite characters of this story to be honest.

Also. I WAS RIGHT LEXU! Yehua tells Bai Qian that when they were living in the mortal realm was the first time he ever experienced happiness. So she did do a lot for him. She brought feelings out of him. She brought him happiness. You know, the most important thing in the world? They're both happy. Together.

And this is the end. Already. It went by so fast since I picked it back up. Seriously. This drama. I have so much to say, but I'm going to keep for my overall review, which will be written tomorrow only, because it's late and I'm tired. See you around!

Eternal Love - Episode 56

Can you believe it? There's only 3 episodes left already. Qing Cang is still a threat. Bai Qian and Yehua are still fighting. Well, Bai Qian's mostly the one initiating the fight, Yehua is more like a victim of her temper. But still. He somehow deserves it, unfortunately. Li Jing is going to die any time soon, which will increase his father's strength. This plan is a total failure, I can guarantee it is.

It's almost unfair how fast Li Jing gets beaten up by his father. Who also kills all of his soldiers. From the beginning, he didn't even stand a chance during that fight. To the point that as soon as his dad took his weapon out, he couldn't even land at least one blow. So now Qing Cang's back earlier than anticipated. And Li Jing's dead, so he's more powerful. Bad news right?

Donghua sends someone to go get Moyuan, then changes his mind and ask for Bai Qian, since Qing Qiu's closer than Kunlunxu and she also knows the spell to seal the bell. She finally exits her hole when Siming says that Qing Cang is about to break off his seal and that Donghua sent him to get her. She tells Migu to go get Bai Zhen and Zheyan's help. Yehua tries to talk to Bai Qian, but she ignores him. I think it's more that she's in a hurry than because she's mad at him. I mean, she's still mad at him, but she probably kind of forgot as it's not the most important thing as of now.

Bai Qian's getting ready to fight to seal Qing Cang again, but Yehua has other plans. He takes her back to the shore, saying she's not strong enough to defeat him. She argues back he also isn't since he gave all of his spiritual power to Moyuan. He still does whatever he wants. Qing Cang comes out of his trap. Some Yi people come over. Fortunately Bai Zhen comes just in time to defeat them. He's always so calm and poised, you'd forget that he's actually very powerful too.

The fight between Yehua and Qing Cang is super epic. I was stressing out so much. But in the end, Yehua defeats Qing Cang, even though he lost that much spiritual energy. Also is fake arm is working. The only bad news is... Qing Cang did something to Moyuan's bell and as soon as he dies, the thing is going to destroy everything. Bai Qian's the first one to panic when Yehua jumps in, while Bai Zhen holds her back from chasing him. She begs him to come back.

He enters the bell and then everything's over. Bai Qian jumps to catch him falling. Anybody as a feeling of déjà vu? He tries to pretend that he's fine, but Bai Qian's not dumb. She begs him to stay with her, that he can't die. He tells her that he only ever loved her since the beginning. He begs her not to forget him, now she can be together with Moyuan and he'll take good care of her. She threatens him to drink the potion to erase all her memories of him if he dares to die, but even so, he says it's fine too. And he dies, with a tear to his eyes. I knew this was going to happen, but I'm stilly crying so badly. It's as bad as when I watched episode 31 in the Untamed, I'm sure the neighbours heard me howling over Yehua's death. This guy. He wasn't perfect, but still. What a man.

Bai Qian won't let anyone get close to her and Yehua until Moyuan arrives. He manages to at least convince her that staying there to wait for Yehua to come back isn't the best. So she takes him back to the fox den and won't let anyone in. She's keeping his body and watches over him, she doesn't even to have Ali come. In the end, Lexu, Lian Song and Yehua's father (he must have a name, but I don't know it) alongside Donghua enters the fox den without permission to reclaim Yehua's body. Bai Qian won't let him go. Lexu starts blaming her for making Yehua unhappy. Calm down lady. I agree with you that Yehua did more for Bai Qian than she did for him, but she never asked for any of it. Bai Qian is a proud, strong woman. She hates owing anything to anyone. Yehua did everything behind Bai Qian's back, without ever telling her any of his hardships. Why? Because as a child, she would cry every time he was hurt. Because he grew up secluded, taken away from his mom to become the crown prince and undergo all of that training. Yehua has been taught from a young age that love is something you should deserve by accomplishing things, like a prize. So that's unfair to blame Bai Qian. Especially for when she was human and Sujin was manipulating her, that Yehua was hiding stuff from her, that everyone around didn't want her. She didn't jump down the platform to hurt Yehua, she did it because she thought he didn't want her. And that was none of her fault. Who would believe it if someone knew you were innocent but still never defended you, then pulled out your eyes out of their frame to give it to someone else, someone who claims to be his lover? Someone that even his mom wants him to marry? So Lexu, I understand your pain. But your hatred is misplaced. Was it not for Sujin, Yehua would have been very happy, thank you. Especially since his only happiness in life was when he was with Susu in the mortal realm. When he moved to Qing Qiu to follow her around, even though she wasn't honest with her feelings for him. That broke my heart. Poor Bai Qian. Yehua's father tell Lexu that it's enough, it is even too much in my opinion. His way of trying to bring her to reason is much more efficient in my opinion. Let the poor girl grieve a little.

And that is all for today. This episode was definitely heart breaking, even watching it a second time. So much pain, for everyone.

[dreamingsushi]

Eternal Love - Episode 55

I'm on a roll and I will keep reviewing for a little bit more. I should be doing stuff at home, but I don't care, I'm tired and have no energy. I only care about my dramas.

Yehua comes back to the palace just in time. Siming welcomes him back and tells him something big is happening: Bai Qian got her eyes back from Sujin and left without letting anyone know. Yehua wants to go find her, but Siming tells him Donghua says he's the only one who can shed light on this whole ordeal. So he asks Siming to summon his second and third uncles, as well as Yuanzhen and the Susu puppet. Everything Sujin did is finally revealed and she has nothing to say to defend herself. She begs to Yehua but he doesn't even look at her. The Emperor punishes her just as Bai Qian requested and sends her to watch Qing Cang.

Bai Qian doesn't want to see anyone. Yehua waits for her.

Li Jing is trying to do something to stop his father while a lot of the Yi clan revolts against him and hopes for the return of his father. This process seems dangerous and it needs 7 days to be completed.

Yehua has been waiting for Bai Qian 7 days already, but she still won't see him. She even wants to break off the engagement. Because she's scared. She worries that he likes her only because Sujin betrayed him. She's worried that his answer is yes all those things she's imagining herself and can't bring herself to meet him. Yehua asks Migu to ask Bai Qian if she'll still keep her word and lock him inside the fox den if he flirted in the mortal realm and if bringing a servant in to serve his mom counts. It makes Bai Qian super angry and she says she doesn't want to see him ever again. I think this part is really the part where Bai Qian isn't a cool bad ass. I get it that she was hurt, she truly was, but she's really not even giving Yehua a chance right now. I'm not saying she's wrong he's right. He did a lot of things the wrong way, he wasn't open enough towards her so I understand that she can't fully trust him. But trying would be better than this.

Yehua's underling tries to protect Yehua from the rain, but he won't let him. So he goes to ask Zheyan and Bai Zhen to persuade Bai Qian to meet with Yehua. They say no. Couples should deal with their fights within themselves. They like each other, so it won't be like this together. Bai Qian needs a little bit of time to upset, after all she went through.

Li Jing actually summoned his father's essence to kill him. He used all the blood in his body for that, so he's not going to live much longer. Unfortunately, his father can still summon his weapon to fight him back. He's no longer contained in the bell, which Fengjiu confirmed to Donghua. Li Jing's plan wasn't completely reliable... I don't think he can beat his father.

But that's something for us to discover later, as we already finished this episode. So close to the end. Thanks again for bearing with me and reading my recaps. See you in a bit!

Eternal Love - Episode 52

I think that after an episode of the King: Eternal Monarch, I definitely deserve another episode of Eternal Love. Switch from one eternal thing to the other. I think I'll try to stretch thin the ending of this drama, because the two other main ones I have on going right now don't have me so thrilled about them so far. Plus it's going to give a little change daily, I kind of like that.

I'm treating myself with the opening. Seriously, that many years and I'm still so in love with it. It's powerful. Thank you Zhang Jie for this song.

Sujin also pays a visit to mortal Yehua, who doesn't care for her. Just like before. She's really delusional to think she was ever important to him. She always pestered him and he tolerated her because it's part of his duty as the crown prince. After all, her clan sacrificed themselves to win the war for his clan. So at some, he can't be completely rude to her. But when she thinks she's better than Bai Qian or Susu for that matter, she's wrong. Susu was probably the one who understood Yehua the best, except for the pathetic ending of their love when she was pregnant, while Bai Qian could have been, but she didn't get much time to. Sujin is basically just a worm and all she ever did was to hurt Yehua. If you hurt someone to gain their love, you're not sincere towards them, it's just selfishness. So she incrusts herself as his cousin in his mortal life too. And he still won't care for her.

Moyuan makes me so sad. I don't know how I never saw it as much as now that he likes Bai Qian. She talks about the past and he kind of subtly implies that he never rested all these years only to fulfill his promise to come back. She's like yeah you came back for all of us, but his eyes are saying no I came back for you, my precious person. Then Zilan comes and says that a special guest came for Bai Qian. It turns out it's Ali. Poor Moyuan when he hears our baby boy call Bai Qian mother. The pain in his eyes. Obviously, all the disciples love Ali. I mean, who wouldn't? Except for Xuan Nü, but she was crazy, so her opinion doesn't matter.

Sujin in the mortal realm says that she will get married to Yehua. He says he won't and will break off the engagement. She tries to take away the pearls Bai Qian gave him. She gets really mad when she hears from the servant that it's related to Qing Qiu. So she starts sculpting a wooden puppet looking like Susu. That doesn't like a good plan...

More of the Fengjiu drama. She learns that Donghua took off his name of the stone which states the love fate of everyone. So he's not fated to anyone, ever. She decides to cut away one of her tails so it would become a dagger which she will use to engrave his name on the stone. As he watches her go, he looks like Lucius Malfoy. Anybody ever noticed? It's the first time I see it and I can't unsee it now. Anyways, she ends up fainting from the pain and Donghua asks Siming to take her back to Qing Qiu. Migu takes her to Kulunxu so Zheyan can take care of her. When Donghua comes, Bai Qian doesn't bother trying to be nice, she blames him and yells at him. She only stops because her master tells her to calm down. But with her bad temper, she just leaves, frustrated. As I would if anybody even hurt a strand of my sisters' hair. I feel we are just wasting so much time on their love story while we could have more of Yehua and Bai Qian instead. It's like, half of the drama (okay maybe just a third) is all about the two of them and they're supposed to be support characters, not main. Anyways, that's all for now, time to get some cooking going if I want to go dancing. See you soon!

Eternal Love - Episode 51

I did watch an episode of the other drama, so I’m back to the one I actually like best between my two ongoing series right now. Plus it’s the last stretch for this drama and I like to get stuff done. The satisfaction is incomparable.

There’s a distance between Bai Qian and Moyuan setting up. She’s still unaware of his feelings for her, but she’s also thinking too much about Yehua to actually notice anything. Since he doesn’t need her help, she asks her brother to help her hide the fact that she’s going to visit her fiancé in the mortal realm. She wanted about 16 hours, but he only agrees to two hours. Then, he decides to follow her, because he calculated that Yehua would only be around ten at this age and wonders what she would even want to do going now.

Bai Qian goes to see child Yehua who’s getting made fun of because he’s missing an arm. At night, she comes to his room and tells him that they are fated to get married. She’ll come visit him every now and then when she has time. Meanwhile, he shouldn’t get married to anyone else. She gives him a pearl necklace/bracelet and he gives her a jade pendant. When he wakes up, he tries to find info about Qing Qiu, but no one ever heard about it.

Fengjiu is saaaad. She’s having her little trantrum because she doesn’t want to take Bai Qian’s position as the leader of Qing Qiu. She just cares about making Donghua fall in love with her. She’s upset that Bai Qian is not siding with her.

Li Jing decides not to tell Moyuan or the Emperor about Qing Cang because he’s afraid that if Moyuan would try again to seal him in the bell, Bai Qian would try to jump into his place. Since she’s getting married soon, he doesn’t want her to do that. So he plans on doing it himself and to give his role away to Yanzhi.

Bai Qian pays a visit to her master at night, since she’s going to be gone to help Zheyan prepare some medicine and Moyuan is going to isolate himself for a moment. She wants to spend some time with him. He’s still trying to hold back on his feelings for her. When he tells her to go get rest, there’s a shadow at the window. And we don’t know what that is or who that is, because it’s the end of this episode!
