Love Between Fairy and Devil Episode 35 Recap
> Love Between Fairy and Devil Recap
To refine the evil energy his master now craved, Rong Hao killed a group of mortals. When Chidi Woman awoke to the grim scene, she was overcome with horror and collapsed. Anguished, Rong Hao confronted Tai Sui, who callously reminded him that this was the result of his own plea 30,000 years ago to preserve Chidi Woman's primordial spirit with evil aura. Tai Sui explained that her spirit, nourished by this energy for millennia, was now irreparably damaged.
To survive, she would need to constantly absorb more evil essence until it completely consumed her, stripping her of her powers, memories, and consciousness, and transforming her into a mindless, murderous monster. When Rong Hao accused Tai Sui of breaking his promises, Tai Sui proposed a final step: he would merge with Chidi Woman's immortal body and primordial spirit.
This, he claimed, would free her from pain and allow her to retain her memories of Rong Hao, ensuring they would never be apart. Despite Rong Hao's initial distrust, Tai Sui's manipulative words, combined with Chidi Woman's desperate pleas for death, seemed to sway him into a chilling agreement. Rong Hao reflected on his master's boundless wisdom and noble spirit, acknowledging his own simple, yet seemingly impossible, wish to save her.
Chidi Woman then revealed a poignant memory: long ago, she had once experienced a "mortal heart." It was on a cold, snowy day when she saw a young, blind boy playing a flute. Despite the dismissive remarks of passersby, she rescued him. Later, she sought out Si Ming, asking for the impossible: to revive the boy.
Si Ming warned her of the dire consequences, explaining that defying the iron law of life and death would bring disaster, even to a Goddess. Undeterred, Chidi Woman declared her willingness to bear any cost. She confirmed to Rong Hao that this profound act of compassion had been for him. Believing Rong Hao had fallen for his deception, Tai Sui watched as Rong Hao tenderly wiped Chidi Woman's tears and embraced her.
But in a sudden, shocking move, Rong Hao plunged a blade into her back. Chidi Woman, with a serene smile, peacefully passed away in his arms. Rong Hao then revealed his true intention: he had lured Tai Sui to that location to detonate his own primordial spirit, intending to die with Tai Sui and thus be with his master forever.
Tai Sui scoffed at Rong Hao's futile attempt, proclaiming his own immortality and recounting how even the First Goddess Wuqi had only managed to seal him. Despite Tai Sui's arrogance, Rong Hao's sacrifice evidently enraged the ancient evil god, indicating a degree of success in his desperate, final act. In the aftermath, Dongfang Qingcang and Changheng arrived at the solemn bamboo forest to mourn Rong Hao and Chidi Woman.
Dongfang Qingcang offered a quiet tribute, vowing to bring wine for Rong Hao whenever he returned. Changheng lamented the loss of his only worthy opponent. The Goddess, who was with them, urged Changheng to accelerate their plans, as Tai Sui was now free and wreaking havoc across the Three Realms. Changheng pressed the Goddess for her true identity, to which she confirmed she was both Goddess Xi Yun and Xiao Lanhua, retaining all memories from both lives.
Perplexed, Changheng questioned why, if she remembered her love for Dongfang Qingcang, she still agreed to their marriage. The Goddess explained that the Founder Lord Dong had forged a covenant with the Xilan clan, stipulating that only a union between their bloodlines could unlock the supreme divine power needed to protect the Three Realms. She revealed that this power was essential to completely annihilate Tai Sui.
Changheng then grasped the tragic truth: she had feigned amnesia towards Dongfang Qingcang because she knew that using this power would result in her own demise, a fate similar to that of the First Goddess Wuqi. Devastated, he confronted her, asking how she could expect him to marry her only to witness her self-sacrifice. The Goddess apologized, asserting that upon her reincarnation, she had consciously chosen to embrace her destiny as the Xishan Goddess, prioritizing the safety of all beings.
She then disclosed that with Chidi Woman gone, Tai Sui's next target was Dongfang Qingcang, clarifying her intent to protect him as well, driven by her love for both the common people and for him. Dongfang Qingcang approached the Goddess, acknowledging that the Xiao Lanhua he knew was truly gone. He requested one last favor before leaving Xishan: to hang a love lock with her on the Lovesickness Bridge.
He confessed his eternal devotion, lamenting that he would never have the chance to show her how much he had changed. As he poured out his heart, the Goddess, struggling to maintain her composure, tried to escape. In that moment, Dongfang Qingcang revealed the agonizing truth behind his past cruelty: the Bone Orchid had been draining her primordial spirit, and the only way to save her life was to make her stop loving him.
He had deliberately deceived her, hoping she would give up on him, and expressed his agony that she continued to love him despite it all. As the Goddess prepared to leave, she instinctively reached out and poked Dongfang Qingcang's cheek, trying to coax a smile just as Xiao Lanhua once had. Stunned by the familiar gesture, he grabbed her, desperately asking who she truly was, but she fled without answering.
Later, while examining Xiao Lanhua’s Destiny Book, Dongfang Qingcang discovered a new, fractured fate line. As he touched it, he saw a vision of her plan to perish with Tai Sui. A voiceover from Si Ming then revealed the full truth: when the Xilan clan was destroyed, her people sealed her into a seed and entrusted her to him.
Si Ming had merely fabricated the illusion of an ordinary orchid to conceal her true identity, and the "Xiao Lanhua" he knew was a transient memory attached to that form. Recalling Si Ming's cryptic words that he was the only one who could change her fate, Dongfang Qingcang clutched the Destiny Book, now understanding his purpose.
He found the Goddess one last time, and before parting, embraced her and gave her a farewell kiss, a testament to his unyielding resolve to defy her destiny. Shang Que presented Dongfang Qingcang with his battle attire. With a heavy heart but unwavering determination, Dongfang Qingcang donned the war robe. He declared his intention to change her fate against the heavens, exchanged a firm handshake with Shang Que, and then walked alone into the encroaching darkness.
Meanwhile, the Goddess, dressed in a magnificent wedding gown, prepared to fulfill her own perceived destiny. As the auspicious hour struck, she and Changheng exchanged a solemn look of understanding and walked side-by-side towards Yunzhong Jun to begin their wedding ceremony.
