ep 6 spoilers ahead

1.We open to Ling'er awakening in Tianyi's bed. He is asleep beside the bed. In a funny scene she places the blanket on him and tries to sneak out....

2.The prince has his own spies and he learns that his mother no longer allows meals in her room. A maid who ignored this 'died mysteriously'.

3.Change scene the empress is keeping Jinshu hostage. Empress really likes him. Apparently she killed the servant girl whom she describes as 'slut' for speaking to him. She accuses him of wanting another Runzhui, which enrages him. She tells him that she wants their kids together because it allows her to live out her dream of them being together (uh huh. the fact that she is a goddess has nothing to do with it)

4.Change scene: it seems Ling'er is making things up to the emperor by...cooking?

5.We learn Jinshu cannot break free (crown prince finds him)

6.Oddly, it seems that wingkind can only eat...cold food? After eating it she passes out. Also, the empress has an army waiting outside of Tiany's territory--he is in a difficult position because he does not want to trigger a war.

7.We learn from Jishu (who is still talking to crown prince) that if Ling'er ever falls for someone something bad will happen (uh oh). We also learn that the flower amulet is part of a 'yin/yang' amulet and by joining it to its other half, she truly awakens as a goddess. Yin points to the god of shooting star flowers (the flower amulet) the yang points to the god of shooting flower's destruction (sort of like a destroyer figure) Jishu tells him he must find the yang person and kill him (how much you want to bet its Tianyi?) Only after the yang is destroyed does Tianjung have a chance with Ling'er...

8.Tianyi graciously offers to let Ling'er be his consort that way she won't starve to death (oh this is funny) Naturally she refuses. We learn a little more about Tianyi: apparently his father gave him the whip and died when he was 13, leaving him a 'big mess' which he is resentful for. She shares her father is alive but captured. She calls him out for pretending to be evil, and he admits that it is like a protective shield//emotions affect your judgment (true but it takes a lot of courage to trust and love another meaning that is the cowards way out) They have a 'moment' where they both seem to see each other as man and woman....

9.Sadly, Chishu shows up with a message from Tianjung, who reports on the location of her father (I don't like these guys they are keeping important secrets from Ling'er about her fate. She has the right to pick her future). Anyways, Tianyi is clearly irritated and she seems to be aware of this...'jealousy' he is expressing

10.Recognizing a bandage as a ribbon or something of Ling'er's on the emperor's hand, Tianjung confronts him whilst searching for Ling'er. Never one to miss a change to annoy Tianjung (its really easy) he says he has her and he deigned to accept her as a concubine. After a brief battle scene Tianjung asks him why he wants Ling'er, and is risking open war.

11. Surprising me, Tianyi admits that they share the same motive/goal (i.e. to be with Ling'er) (Ling'er lucked out to have to hotties, with status and unique personalities, after her. it also means she will face a number of troubles in future)

-Side Note: Tianjung looks more effeminite 'pretty' but Tianyi has more striking features and he looks kind of 'demonic' or 'devilish' you all noticed this?--

12.Tianjung speaks to the queen and admits he is ready to accept Ling'er as his bride. (I have a feeling Ling'er is going to hate him some day...) He sets about plotting how to coax her back to his side with his mother (he knows her best, so he comes up with the idea of using someone she cares about i.e. the 'exploiting someone's weakness trap')

13Tianyi (he is so adorable) looks extremely annoyed/upset with the fact that he admitted to having feelings for Ling'er to Tianjung. In the past he might have said it to provoke him (I bet) but this time it is true...his cleverly laid plans are now messed up with this new thing called love (sigh...)

14 (I don't like this part) Tianyi basically tells Ling'er he doesn't care about her and that he enjoys seeing her suffer. What follows are scenes designed to make her hate him but it doesn't seem to work (I would clobber him) Not sure if he is testing her because he is emotionally immature or if he is afraid of getting in a relationship, which would pull her into this complicated thing called war and politics

15.Evens so, he still gives her a blanket while she is asleep....
