Knowing the god of flowers. The birth of a Camellia.
Episode 1:
The first episode is great. The musical opening with the images of the characters is very beautiful. These beautiful flowers that appear all the time captivate me. I liked the changes that were made to the relationship between the characters, for example: Kulum here is the brother of Jinxiu (the flower god). I didn't understand that moment of the two stars shining in the sky, which should be only one, because it indicates who will be the next emperor. Hongning is a fun and sweet character. Hu Yi Xuan plays her very well. Jinxiu, the god of the flower, played by Liu Xue Yi is majestic and handsome. Each time it appears the petals float in the air (this is so majestic). The way he appears and disappears is magical. JinXiu's interaction with his younger brother is interesting. Jing Xiu, since he was a child, planted this camellia, watered it, took care of it, there was a spiritual connection between the two. When the emperor, JinXiu's father, destroyed the flower (in front of the adult Jinxiu), it was so sad, you could see the tears in the corners of his eyes. He had already been captivated by the flower (even more), because this Camellia is very attached to him. When Kulun used the flower power for her to bloom, she did not obey, as she only obeys Jinxiu's command. This is beautiful and interesting. Jinxiu sends her to earth to protect her, he revived her, and he gave her the power of his finger, and so her name is Hong Ning. A bright mark appears on Jingxiu's forehead when he revived the camellia that his father emperor destroyed. Jinxiu sent her to earth, and there she received the heavenly thunder becoming a human. She met several friends there.
Jinxiu commanding the flowers, each task and law delegated to the flowers, is interesting. He sits on his throne, imposing, and very serious. It's interesting, this flower god, it looks so cold. But he's sweet and sentimental with Hongning.
Jinxiu descended to earth and met Hongning. He gave her a new outfit, as she had gotten wet in the lake. Jinxiu took her to the heavenly dimension. And there, she still didn't understand that this young man with elegant clothes and a unique face is the king of flowers. The episode ends when HongNing manages to climb to the place where the god of flowers lives and then she discovers that Jinxiu, the handsome young man with white clothes, is the god of flowers.
My episode rating: 10.0 I loved the episode.
(I put this note and this reaction to the episode in the "episode guide").
PS:
EP1: could someone explain the part with the bone extraction and the mark appearing on the head of the ML?
It's just his mark of Divinity basically. Immortals need an Immortal bone to cultivate and hers was all destroyed so he gave her part of his basically so she wouldn't die

Thank you for the valuable insight.

Remember the ML's dad destroyed the flower because the ML cares too much about it. But the father raised his son to be without affection. So, the ML brought the dead plant back to his palace and revived it with a bone from his finger. For it to survive, he sent it away, and it fell into the Pixie land. The mortals were also suffering a ten-year winter punishment at that time.
Episode 2: Destined to Be Emperor of Heaven
In this episode, Camellia HongNing is discovering the celestial dimension where the god of the flower lives (she still hasn't realized that Jing Xiu is the god of flowers). And the funniest part of this episode is when she pulls a giant bell to fall covering her and Jinxiu, as she believes that the flower "goddess" is angry with her, and the flower goddess is "ruthless". And at that time Jinxiu looked half scared, half amused (as if thinking: you don't know. little camellia, that I am the god of flowers). She marvels at all the powers he displays, but does not realize that these powers belong to the god of flowers. HongNIng suffers the persecution and nagging of the other flowers (local girls) and because of this she had to suffer a thunder punishment. The chrysanthemum envoy was in charge of this, but the camellia was thinking that with these rays she could soon achieve immortality, the chrysanthemum envoy soon frustrated her by explaining that these rays are of another kind, and that to ascend immortality it takes thousands of years of cultivation. The queen mother and the father heavenly emperor met in one place, the emperor's platform before three strange shapes in the sky. The emperor wondered what this meant and if it would interfere with Jinxiu's life. He says that Jingxiu was raised to have no feelings and to be an emperor. The queen mother saw with the emperor the golden writing that appeared in the environment, it was another request from Jinxiu to forgive the people of the land, who were without flowers as punishment. (This was because Jinxiu heard from HongNing a plea about the people of the land, who had no flowers to rejoice about, and this could make the people of the land very sad in the journey of life.Another interesting moment of this episode was when HongNing arrived at the moment when Jingxiu was bathing in the heavenly pool. Soon he, very shy, turned into a golden peony tree. But Hongning clung to the tree (even though she heard him in exasperation ask her to leave). She only left when the chrysanthemum envoy shouted from outside angrily for her to leave soon. There was a moment in the episode when she from drinking the colorful wine from Jinxiu's room fell drunk, and then fell asleep and turned into a red flower. Jinxiu took it as a flower to his desk. The maid threw the flower into the teapot. Suddenly, Jinxiu while drinking the tea realized that she was there. She transformed back into a human, frightening the chrysanthemum envoy.There will be a solemn meeting, a flower festival, which takes place every 500 years, and HongNing intends to go there. HongNing in this episode is very objective and faces the other flower girls with her strong opinion, she was punished with those rays because she defended another flower girl who was being whipped. She got in front and said some exasperated things, to the chief girl, a flower (I don't understand much, this character is very intriguing and chases HongNing). My score for this episode is 10.0 (There are these emotional moments that pleased me).I'm going to put this reaction/summary of episode 2 in the episode guide.
PS:
The first four episodes are surprisingly lighthearted and hilarious!! I laugh so hard every time the historian chrysanthemums official guy witnesses something with hongning and jinxiu, LMAOOO. He is SO torn between writing the truth and protecting jinxiu's dignity, hahaha.
It's quite delightful, and I'm SO glad that they re-filmed this with Hu Yixuan! It looks good so far, without any obvious flaw of the switching of the actress. And I'm enjoying Hu Yixuan's performance so much. She's such a natural cutie. And I'm quite enjoying Liu Xueyi's exasperated expressions and just being so utterly startled by her actions and just being so flustered, lol. It's so funny and endearing.
There is going to be heartbreak later, I know it, but this has been so fun so far. 😆
Episode 3: HongNing's determination. But what is her real purpose ?
In this episode we find Hong Ning day by day making more mistakes and being forced to be punished on the lightning plataform. (I didn't know that every day she has to reach the payment of 97 rays). The chrysanthemum officer advised her to give up and fall into the mortal world, so she would suffer less, but she didn't accept it, as characteristic of HongNing, she thinks she is strong enough to endure everything. The chrysanthemum officer even seems to have taken pity on her and even helped her get an entry document for the flower festival that takes place every 500 years. I was a little doubtful if she doesn't know that Jinxiu is the king of flowers or if she's pretending not to know. For at a moment in front of Jinxiu she pretended to bow as king to the chrysanthemum officer and the official saying: I am not the king. And the next time, in another situation, she didn't treat the chrysanthemum official as if he were the king. Hong Hing went digging plants (the plants that were planted by Jinxiu). This was a punishment from the senior flower girl, but Hong Ning thought he could pull it off. When she dug up the red plant, the chrysanthemum officer arrived complaining about it, and she didn't realize that the flower magically reimplanted itself on its own again.
The son of a king from another kingdom (a blue kingdom) was being punished in a place in the kingdom of Jinxiu (because the kingdom of Jinxiu commands all kingdoms). When he saw this young fox boy being punished, Jinxiu intervened and said that not being born with nine tails is not a crime, let him be released, the young man was grateful, but remained sad (because he thought: where am I going?). HongNing put on her new outfit so she could train with the other flowers. Jinxiu found her and realized that the clothes were clumsy and used (his power again) to repair Hong Ning's clothes (after all, he is the king of flowers, he takes care of flowers. Isn't that right? And this flower in particular). Jinxiu was bothered by HongNing's poorly painted eyebrows and he decided to do this task himself. Their eyes met. In this episode again HongNing is conveniently invasive in touching Jinxiu, though he is shown to be seemingly bothered, what it seems is that he is increasingly affected by HongNing. The girl, who is Jinxiu's real suitor, is from the blue realm, and she talked about her brother who is a bastard to them, due to having only 3 fox tails. The emperor of the blue kingdom told her that she needs to find a way to marry the king of flowers, and if she succeeds in that, there is a precious item of the blue kingdom that he will give her, but she complained that it is a very precious item of the kingdom that should not be used like this.
When Hong Ning and Jinxiu were solving the problem of the eyebrows, very close, the hidden chrysanthemum officer was about to write, when Jinxiu noticed him and the officer ran away almost stumbling on the stairs.
There is a moment in this episode that shows Jinxiu's brother walking in a somewhat arrogant way and with a villainous look, he makes a small blue stone disappear (I didn't understand this scene). Jinxiu talked to his brother warmly, and as an older brother asked him to sit up straight in the chair. (The scene in another episode in which two stars in the sky are mentioned, which means (only one should be) signifies the destiny of being emperor. (I was wondering that it could be that at the end of the story when Jinxiu becomes a mortal for Hong Ning, then Jinxiu's brother should take the place of this emperor's fate. (but we'll wait and see.....).
My score for this episode is still 10.0 because I think the pacing is perfect, and the facts coherent. And it's such an enjoyable drama to watch.
I'm going to put this reaction/review in the episode guide with my episode 3 rating.
Episode 4: Getting Closer and Closer to Knowing Who the God of Flowers Is
In this episode our main couple went through other interesting moments. Jinxiu made Hong Ning's eyebrow. Jinxiu saved her in her task of growing flowers but removing the weeds. What happens is that these magical weeds are dangerous. And at a certain moment, she is trapped as by a rope of weed and screams for help. Jinxiu listens in on his phone sheet, and rushes to save her. But in doing so, he ends up attached to Hong Ning by the weed rope.
(An interesting point of this episode that I can't forget is that Hong Ning at first can't use a spell to cover the weed with a power cape. And Jinxiu says no one with a weak power like she couldn't do it, only Jinxiu managed it the first time he tried it. But Hong Ning tried a second time and power coverage on the flower was a little better, but still insufficient. But the third time she managed to make a large covering over the flower and Hong Ning smiled boastingly. But Jinxiu in his thoughts said, "Yes, thanks to my finger that I sacrificed for you. Be thankful.). I wonder to what extent the power of the two will interconnect. (I remember again the two stars that the king, father emperor, saw in the sky, what did they mean, really?)
They spend the day like this. She wants to sleep but with that she pulls Jinxiu. She asks them to sleep together, and Jinxiu says in exasperation that a man and a woman cannot proceed like this. Jinxiu decides to cultivate power in front of the heavenly pool and Hong Ning next to him, took advantage of the fact that he had his eyes closed and threw herself into the water, thus bringing him with her. Both get wet. The scene continues with her unconscious and wet on Jinxiu's lap, when she wakes up, he calms down and she asks why he is so blushing. And the flowers begin to bloom as if the flowers were cheerful (Hong Ning thinks it is the work of the "goddess of flowers"). She exasperated Jinxiu so much, by acting to approach him innocently but persistently, that Jinxiu sentenced a punishment to the Camellia, in an enclosure that has many petals and the punishment is to count these thousands of petals. Upon arriving there, Hong Ning met Jinxiu's brother, Kunlun. She asked him about the "goddess of flowers" and Kunlun took advantage of her ignorance and said that the goddess has 3 heads, she is a monster. Kunlun said that she would only be able to count all the petals (that is, get out of this punishment) if the sky turned black. When he said that, Hong Ning smiled, as if she had the power to make the sky turn black. So, the flower festival is happening. The majestic god of flowers appears surrounded by a ray of sunshine, and all the girls are enchanted. Then the event begins: All the girls present their flowers to the god of flowers, Jinxiu, he approves or disapproves of each flower that presents itself to him. Suddenly, Hong Ning arrives at the enclosure followed by Kun Lun and the chrysanthemum officer thinks that she is the one who is following Kunlum. They run off like children and Hong Ning tells him: don't keep following me. When she got there, everyone was exasperated that it was Hong Ning arriving at the enclosure (and everyone knew that she was stuck in a punishment, how did she get there?). Hong Ning looks at the throne, and from behind the curtains Jinxiu appears, and everyone says: he is the god of flowers. But Hong Hing is amazed and says: Jinxiu ? The episode ends.
My rating for this episode is 10.0. The interactions between the couple are sweet and funny. And the episode is not boring, keeping the pace until the end.
(I will post my note and this review/reaction from episode 4 in the episode guide).
Episode 14: The Sword Test.
I just watched it now, and I think this episode is great. Better than episode 13, although episode 13 also has key points in this relationship. And it's a totally necessary episode, (they're living their mortal lives). And I liked all the interactions. Jinxiu x Hongning. HongNing x Kunlun, Kunlun x Luiyao. Even the apprentice boy, HongNing's friend, he also helps the episode to be full of humor. And Jinxiu watching everything, (sneaking and solving the problems), running the place, he's the boss of Cangyun Mountain. (The noodle moment was funny).

Episode 15: She loves me. She loves me not.
I loved seeing Jinxiu thinking that Hong Ning was in love with him, and he should make her stop feeling that way. (and the conversation with the chrysanthemum about it was also hilarious). I rewatched it a few times. I liked the scenes. Liu Xue Yi is always great at the humorous scenes (I was reminded of the drama "Qing Luo"). "She said I was handsome"😁😁🌸🌻
And the story of Kun Lum and Luyao also always captivates me. He is another hilarious, and interesting one. The apprentice, Hong Ning's friend is another perfect addition to the episode. Besides Lujiu.

Episode 16:
I always love that. I don't mind watching it again.
I don't think it's ruining it. Why do you think that? Wouldn't they live for a period in the mortal world? (In the book there are 10 reincarnations, here there are 4 reincarnations. There needs to be time to build up to the climax that will happen in each reincarnation. It can't be abrupt. (And here they use a little humor). I'm watching episode 16 (the beginning of the episode was very dramatic and I thought it was wonderful, then it went back to the cliché a bit, but with humor. Don't complain. What fantasy or xianxia doesn't have its basic clichés? Otherwise it's not xianxia. Yes, I wanted to see the girl faint in the boy's arms. (I always love that. I don't mind watching it again.)🫠😊💖
Episode 17: Reunion Day. I want to take care of him.
Highlights of this episode: Jinxiu accepting that a female disciple can join the school. And also the entire Cangyum school community also accepted and remembered, through HongNing's research, that the two schools that exist: one female and one male, were once one school. Jinxiu realizes that HongNing and Kunlum have no relationship, and he is happier than ever. Luyao discovers that LuiJiu is a fox like her and is her long-lost brother. HongNing also meets her citrus friend and through him she has reaffirmed that Jinxiu is a good person and does not treat a species like them cruelly (only those who are truly wicked.). HongNing insists on giving a package of medicinal herbs to Jinxiu to treat the wounds on his back. And HG wants to know how Jinxiu got those terrible burns (but the scene in the second life where she looked at his wounds didn't happen, at least I didn't see it anywhere, probably she's starting to remember her memories from the first life. Jinxiu also fondly remembers this moment in the first life.
Episode 18: What's Your Greatest Joy?
HongNIng realizes that the woman that was guiding her is actually a vengeful demon. She said to HN that Jinxiu had nothing special. HongNing falls into an underground world with a few passages, which can only be crossed by solving a task. Jinxiu arrives and helps her. They both go through a task that they need to reveal their true joy. First HongNing reveals her true joy, then Jinxiu, reveals one and the boy who is himself says, you need to say what your true joy is. And then he says a second and he gets through. HongNIng asks: Master, are these true joys?. But then HongNing falls into an abyss, reaching an even deeper abyss, which is a lake, where flowers begin to bloom. And a smoke demon, a dragon asks her to remember that she is his master. Drink the water (so you can remember who you are). Jinxiu arrives and with magical power knocks down the demon. And the demon keeps calling HongNing the demon queen. And the episode ends JX asking himself: Is Hong Hing the demon queen ?
PS:
An important point in this episode. Jinxiu, as a child and even as an adult, always waited for his mother to come visit him and congratulate him on the blossoming of the peony tree. I think it was like a birthday. And when he reached his 81st birthday, she hadn't come either. When this wish for happiness wasn't enough to pass the test. Then, it was revealed that Jinxiu's true happiness had changed, and it was HongNing. And she gave him an encouragement at that moment. (but she still doesn't understand that this camellia is herself.)
Episode 19: I Swear, I'll Protect You for All Lives.
In this episode Liu Jiu was found. Baicha managed to infiltrate the Cangyun academy. HongNing and Jinxiu opened their hearts. And there was a kiss of love between them. Jinxiu promised that he would take care of HongNing for all their lives. Luyiao and LiuJiu went out together for a journey, but LJ said that he will return to the academy later, that even if the master banished him, he would still go back there. LJ saw the past: he was a child and Luyiao was a child. She promised him, that he would have 9 tails. He screams desperately, frustrated by that memory: It's not true, I won't get the 9 tails. The episode ends with Baicha having a conversation with Jinxiu. In this conversation, Baicha does not hide from Jinxiu, the animosity and grudge against JX because of HongNIng. And Jx tells Baicha that he doesn't want to see HongNIng burdened with past lives. Baicha says that Jx just doesn't want HN to know that Jx has harmed HN. JX leaves and Baicha makes a promise to stop Jinxiu's lies. (It seems that Jinxiu has gained an enemy, and I think JX realizes that).
PS: Something important from this episode: When Jinxiu ascends to heaven in front of the book of destiny, he asks for something to suppress the demonic power in HongHing and the book gives him a pearl bracelet that he later gives to HongNing and HongNIng smiles looking at Jinxiu: "It's our symbol of love". They both smile. (But Jinxiu does not know that behind the book of fate was his Father, the emperor (answering Jinxiu's questions to the book).
And the mother queen, also, behind the curtains follows the steps of Jinxiu and HongNing (maybe waiting for the right moment to harm them). There is a war that will happen between the kingdom of Jinxiu and the NCR. This war was authorized by the queen mother. And she says something about a demonic power (that can sustain everything). (I didn't understand this part).

Episode 20: When the Flowers Fall I'll Marry You
Luyao and Liu Jiu separate on the journey, because Liujiu when he realizes that Luyao has 9 tails he realizes that she is his sister (who has always been distant, for despising his brother who was born with only 3 tails.). But in the child's memory we see that something different happened.
Jinxiu tries to find the right words to talk about love with Hongning, but it seems that he stumbles over the words. She doesn't know that the Camellia he mentions is herself. Every time she's indirectly telling him: You love the Camellia, not me. Baicha's malevolent plan to separate Hong Ning from Jinxiu doesn't work, as when she regains the memories, what she realizes is that Jinxiu was the one who was with her at all times. He suffered for her, crossed the bridge of fate with her, gave her the lotus dew, and for this she could be reborn. But Baicha was very disappointed and angry. He has the illusion that Hongning, the red camellia, and he, the white camellia, were born to be together. And that a deity with a mortal one could never be. This phrase that is the Chinese title of the drama ran through the episode. Jinxiu's voice saying to the Hongning of the past and the HongNIng of the present, "When the flowers fall, I will marry you." And she says to him with eyes full of tears, to a Jinxiu with tears in his eyes, "You promised me that you would marry me."
A disciple is ecstatic to realize that Jinxiu has proposed to HongNing.
But in the next episode....
