Love Between Fairy and Devil Episode 27 Recap
> Love Between Fairy and Devil Recap
At the Memory Loss River, Dongfang Qingcang and Changheng successfully purified the evil spirit. Afterward, Dongfang Qingcang warned Changheng not to trespass on Cangyan Sea again, and Changheng issued a similar warning about Shuiyuntian. They acknowledged that they would be enemies if they met again on the battlefield. Xiao Lanhua wished she could return to the simpler days in Lucheng City.
Changheng approached her, recalling their time as Xiao Run in Yunmeng Lake where he felt free with friends and brothers, unburdened by his duties as the God of War or shame from his mother's actions. He stated he had been constrained by heavenly rules, unable to protect the one he loved, until Lucheng. He affirmed that all the vows he made as Xiao Run were sincere.
Xiao Lanhua clarified that she was grateful to Changheng for saving her life, but her feelings for him were not romantic love. She returned the fluorite to him, wishing he finds his true love. As Changheng walked away, Xiao Lanhua remained lost in thought. Dongfang Qingcang teased her for staring, then carried her on his back when she complained about her legs being sore, refusing to share what he had said to Changheng.
Seven days later, Cangyan Sea was preparing for the thousand-year "Mountain and Moon Festival." Xiao Lanhua noticed many love lock vendors, and Jieli explained that during the festival, the full moon aligns perfectly with the moon-shaped mountain. She added that folklore suggests couples who carve their names on love locks and hang them on the bridge of love during the Mountain and Moon alignment will be together forever.
Jieli asked Dongfang Qingcang to let Shangque help her sell carving tools at the festival to maximize profits. Xiao Lanhua bought a pair of carved locks, while Dongfang Qingcang secretly bought two strong, durable locks from a vendor. He was briefly embarrassed when Xiao Lanhua saw him. Meanwhile, Xun Feng, concerned about Dongfang Qingcang's Heart Curse, asked Shangque if there was a way to lift it.
Shangque revealed that the only method was to use the ancient Chengying sword to kill Xiao Lanhua, but the last fragment remained elusive. Xun Feng confronted Dongfang Qingcang about his public appearances with Xiao Lanhua, and Dongfang Qingcang declared he would never kill his "beloved one," even if the sword could be reforged. This infuriated Xun Feng, who accused his brother of betraying the Moon Tribe by loving a fairy who brought disaster.
Dongfang Qingcang took responsibility, stating he was the culprit, not Xiao Lanhua, and that he would find another way to unseal his soldiers. Later, Dongfang Qingcang confirmed to Xun Feng and Xiao Lanhua that the evil spirit that had previously injured him came from Rong Hao. Xiao Lanhua deduced Rong Hao's connection to the Lord of Haishi City because of the Lord of Haishi City’s impersonation of Changheng and the Arbiter Hall, showing intimate knowledge of Shuiyuntian.
Changheng traveled to the Crane Pavilion in Lucheng City, where Rong Hao revealed his devotion to the former God of War, who saved him from starvation as a blind orphan and granted him sight. After her death, Rong Hao wanted to resurrect her, so he used evil spirits to stabilize her primordial spirit, established Haishi City, and instigated internal strife within the Moon Tribe to gather more spirits for refinement. He claimed his friendship with Changheng was genuine.
Rong Hao agreed to return with him to face judgment. Lord Yunzhong commanded Li Yuan to imprison Rong Hao and confronted Changheng for defending Xiao Lanhua. Changheng, weary of war, stated he was ready for death, asserting Xiao Lanhua was not a traitor and that his life gained color after meeting her.
He challenged Lord Yunzhong, stating his death would secure the Moon Supreme's authority and allow Lord Yunzhong to shed the shame of their mother's past, accepting Lord Yunzhong's "grant" of his wish for death. A celestial messenger then informed Danyin that Lord Changheng had been sentenced to execution at the fairy guillotine in seven days for the crime of collusion. In a flashback, Li Yuan's past with a pregnant Moon Tribe woman named Xing Luo was revealed.
Rong Hao helped her escape from fairies, saving her life and their child. In the present, Danyin urged her father, Li Yuan, to save Changheng, fearing Rong Hao might expose her Moon Tribe heritage. Li Yuan reassured Danyin he would protect her, secretly apologizing to Xing Luo. Jieli struggled to carve Dongfang Qingcang's name onto a love lock.
Dieyi, addressing her as "Pavilion Master," informed her of suspicious activity in the palace, suggesting an intruder, and instructed her to place a drop of blood onto the Bone Orchid worn by Xiao Lanhua, which worried Jieli.
