6/10 - Ye Hua gets high points for devotion.

Ye Hua gets high points for devotion. There are reasons he doesn't have to erase is memories. I don't care what anyone says. Bai Qian got the short end of the stick with this romance and was beaten bloody with it. It was sweet how he keeps the lamp burning, planting the trees, and seeing him with his son. For 300 years! I'm really surprised it wasn't a massive time leap.

Feng Jiu has been cute and hasty. A clumsy character who normally has her heart in the right place. I found it terribly stupid that she wouldn't assume that a lamp that was in Ye Hua's private rooms AND was currently burning wasn't in use. Not to mention that it clearly would be noticed! Ugh! That's just bad writing character assassinating.

All I truly can say about this episode is that it's lovely, I missed a lot of these characters, and it's so good to be out of Bai Qian's mortal arc. Thank. You. Thank. You.

ep 27 spoilers ahead

1.YH continues to linger somewhere between alive and dead; I mean physically he is alive and continues his duties but inside he is like a dead man.

2. Si Jin is able to gain entry into Xiwu palace (I guess these are the palaces occupied by the crown prince and his harem//) by telling YH that he could use the lamp to make a copy of Su Su by burning her belongings. Si Jin is only banned from entering the palace of beautiful youth and cannot go near A-Li.

3.YH begins burning Su Su's clothes, he plants some peach trees at her palace (palace of beautiful youth), and 300 years pas. Every day he and A-Li bow to the painting of Su Su. Monthly they visit the hut on the mountain. We learn that YH has explained to his son that one day his mother will return (presumably this is the copy he is making).

3.(I love FJ in red and I love her propensity to cause trouble. ) But this is probably the only time where I think I kind of wish she had behaved better. She steals the lamp that YH has carefully been taking care of. Her goal is innocent: she wants to help her aunt awaken MY (not unreasonable). Instead of asking like normal people, she takes it upon herself to steal it. This speaks again to her youth and impulsive behavior. The light goes out. And YH is enraged, believing first that Su Jin took it only to learn someone must have copied her appearance (guess who...?)--Her aunt forces her to return it--she doesn't get into trouble because of the importance of being on good terms with the fox tribe. However it sends YH back to square one in terms of depression.

4.YH is in a bad state. Crying. Very upset. Basically wants to die.

5.Meanwhile a monster tries to kill A-Li. A princess from the sea kingdom intervenes and saves him. She meets YH, whom she recognizes from the war with mermaid tribe as Hua Ye (worse undercover name ever)
