Rewatching ep.29 of Love Between Fairy and Devil: Part 2

(spoilers ahead)

That humble little Orchid who thought her root was damaged and was less than everyone in the fairy realm, now walks and people kneel, calling her their “Queen”. And she is still humble, asking them not to bow to her. How can one not love her?

Jieli listens to Xiao Lanhua talking with Shangque about her. How nice she is and how they both have to protect and take care of her. Jieli must be feeling pretty bad for what she did to Xiao Lanhua.

Oh no, the bracelet.

Xiao Lanhua sees herself as Chidi in the mirror. Her spirit is slowly taking over her.  

I honestly have no recollection of this scene! Xiao Lanhua is being weird and DFQC realizes there is something wrong. I love that DFQC knew immediately she was not Orchid.

Well, I won’t disagree with you there, fake Orchid.

“The Bone Orchid was made from my heart’s blood. If she is not deeply in love with me, the Bone Orchid is just an ordinary protective artifact. However, if she is devoted to me, the Bone Orchid will not be able to be taken off. Taking it by force would cause her mortal harm.” I was deeply confused by this on my first watch and I still am confused. I have questions. What does her being in love with him have to do with not being able to take it off? How does the bone orchid relate to her feelings about him? How did Ronghao know this?

Nooooooo :(

Xunfeng, just when I was starting to like you.

I know you love your brother - I love him too, trust me - but you are breaking my heart.

I feel you, DFQC, I feel you.

Well, Xunfeng does have a point though.

Awe. He loves his brother so much. I know he breaks my heart because I love Xiao Lanhua, but what he says is rational. I hate to admit he is right.

Says the guy who was dreaming of killing her. How much he has changed.

Ok, Xunfeng, you are taking it too far

It’s devastating that DFQC has never had the chance to live freely and experience emotions. When he was little, his father had to torture him to make him get rid of them. Now his brother accuses him of being weak because he finally has emotions after all these years and he can no longer yield hellfire. Xunfeng is not wrong. DFQC is expected to be the powerful Moon Supreme. The sole hope of Cangyan Sea. Him being happy makes him vulnerable. His existence is reduced to that of a weapon, an object, who shouldn’t have a normal human experience, for the sake of his people. What a burden this man has to carry on his shoulders.

So THAT was what the butterfly did????? Noooooo, leave Shangque alone! Come on!

I love them <3

In the past when DFQC wore this outfit he was powerful, menacing. Now it feels like a shell carrying his broken heart and soul.

*sigh* See you in ep. 30 (with a box of tissues and chocolate)
