7/10 Very good.

I took an obscene amount of notes for this episode! Because I thought there were so many important bits. Like the emphasis on the tea that Bai Qian was served before she apparently fell asleep and Riceball ran off. To a brothel! Ha-ha. What a little joker. He may have accidentally gone in there, but he knew something was up after. It's kind of fun Bai Qian was the catalystfor that and no a man. Too funny. I really thought someone had dosed her tea though with all the Ghost Tribe assassination attempts. Which I believe is all a setup.

Man has Su Jin become elevated! She's got two evil villain songs. It's weird she's become one horrendous and amazing villain, but I still can't stand watching her most of the time. They need to cut back on her dialogue and screen time. I ain't watching for her, but I get she's the reason there is so much strife. However, she went to crazy new lengths. I mean to frame someone for raping you just to keep Ye Hua there for a couple of days. WTF! It's horrible. She needs to be checked into a mental institute. Not to mention that Heavenly Father new what was going on, but wanted to still strike at his Second Son to make a point for the fact that he's happy in life. Because that's an insult to him? I mean. Heavenly father actually thinks rape and falling in love are the same crime!? Holy cow. No wonder the people in the Celestial Realm are fudged up!

"You were merely kissed once or twice."
Can I just say how much I love this more transparent Ye Hua. He is so sweet with Bai Qian. It's touching he realizes that he has to make her fall in love with him again. On the other hand I am a bit bothered he realizes it's a good thing she can't remember due to his betrayal of her. Still I'm enjoying it. The way he just leapt out of no where to protect her from a handsy mortal, and then steals those kisses. >_< At least Ye Hua realizes that he fudged up bad when she was a mortal.

So beyond the disciples more deities were attacked. Or is it just all deities that were once disciples? Though the list who knew Bai Qian was a disciple is very short. This new story is interesting and I'm wondering who is trying to cause strife between the Ghost Realm and Celestial Realm.

So Feng Jiu has been in the mortal realm for 2 years now. It moved me when Dijun admitted he felt snared by her and avoided her. Their whole interaction was so sweet and intense. I love how Feng Jiu shyness pleased him. At least the core Dijun is there. So the Star Lord is mapping his mortal life. I'm wondering if Dijun planned for Feng Jiu to be part of it then? Or if the Star Lord is definitely going a bit off the map? At least it hasn't turned into a nightmare like Bai Qian's mortal life.

Summary 33 spoilers

A large chunk of this episode continues to follow Ye Hua, Bai Quian, and their child. Ye Hua essentially moves into Bai Quian's home. She can't really say no. I think she could use her cunning to avoid him but I believe she is attracted to him she allows him to kiss her and continues to mind the kid. At one point Ye Hua is attacked by shadow assassins and we learn gods from the East Sea have been attacked as well but no one knows why.

It is the celestial emperors birthday and Ye Hua returns home alone. Su Jin has the idea that if Bai Quian breaks it off she is gold but is concerned about reports of them spending time together. She orchestrates a plot: she invites the young cousin of Ye Hua ( the emperors grandson/second princes' son) knocks him out feeds him alcohol and then sets it up so it looks like she has been molested. She explains she fought him off but would still like to die while in the presence of the emperor and the princes. Su Jin can read people well and she knows this will anger the emperor as this grandson is his once favored second princes son. Enraged the emperor refuses to grandson and has him sent to he mortal realm to endure 60 years of hardship.

Throughout this entire 'theatrical event' Ye Hua clearly can tell this is an act ( he acts with his eyes very well) and he gives Su Jin a cold warning after he confronts her in private: he tells her she should quit while she is ahead, that he has allowed to live because she gave him the lamp and more importantly she has su su's eye.

Finally the episode turns to mortal Bai Fengjiu and mortal Dong Hua. She is summoned to Dong Hua bed chamber and he tells her that his first love and mother of the crown prince chose to be a nun after birthing their son and will not see him during her bi monthly visits. Bai Fengjui offers some uplifting advice that makes him smile and he Lyell her that her flower mark looks familiar and fascinates him and he wants to look at it constantly then he leans in to kiss her. She panics ( recall she is like a teenager in terms of age and for all purposes an inexperienced virgin) and uses the tray as a shield before fleeing in embarrassment. She also can be heard breaking his cup.

Me: I truly do not like it when dramas incorporate young actors like the son. The acting is overly cute and the story lines boring because of the child. They are using it to push the romance forward and it is a weak device. I continue to enjoy the delightfully wicked Su Jin whose obsessive love is now impacting more lives and I can't wait to see the development of Dong Hua's relationship with Bai Fengjiu. I find their romance so interesting and it has somehow eclipsed my interest in the main storyline.
