Love Never Fails Episode 40 (Ending) Recap
> Love Never Fails Recap
Jinxiu came over and started fighting Bai Cha, telling Kunlun and Lu Jiu to put away the resentment in their hearts—it was impossible to defeat Bai Cha using resentment. Kunlun and Lu Jiu suppressed their resentment, and the three joined forces to defeat Bai Cha. Jinxiu said that all he ever wanted was Hongning. Bai Cha furiously replied that Jinxiu still dared to speak her name.
Jinxiu said that Hongning once saved Bai Cha and pleaded for his life, simply because they shared the same origin. She had always seen Bai Cha as a companion who could walk the same path, but Bai Cha had not done the same.
Bai Cha said it was all their fault—if they hadn’t been so selfish and treated him like a demon, throwing him into the Qilin Cave, how could he have failed to become an immortal and suffered the torment of heavenly fire? Jinxiu said that none of that justified Bai Cha’s actions. For his own selfish desires, Bai Cha incited a war between immortals and demons. He could not be allowed to remain, and told Kunlun to act.
Kunlun struck down Bai Cha, saying it was not out of resentment, but because Bai Cha truly deserved it. Jinxiu scattered his Qilin blood across the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, dissolving everyone's resentment and bringing an end to the war. Jinxiu apologized to Kunlun. Kunlun said if it was about his royal father, there was no need—what happened was his father’s own choice.
Lu Jiu said that as he had told Jinxiu before, he was going to do what he wanted—now it was time for him to leave. Jinxiu agreed. Kunlun asked where Lu Jiu would go. Jinxiu figured it would be wherever he wanted to be. Kunlun felt Jinxiu should become the Celestial Monarch, but Jinxiu said Kunlun was the better fit. Now that immortals and demons shared the same origin, he would be content to be a Demon Monarch instead.
Officer Chrysanthemum was sorting through the things he had recorded, believing Jinxiu was the hero in his heart. No matter what, he would write Jinxiu’s history. Jinxiu arrived, and Officer Chrysanthemum was extremely excited. He asked where Jinxiu was going, and Jinxiu said he was going to take a look at the Garden of Withered Blossoms. In his excitement, Officer Chrysanthemum blurted out Jinxiu’s name. Kunlun’s Heavenly Emperor Star lit up, and he succeeded the position of Celestial Monarch.
Kunlun declared that all new demons would have the same rights—whether to become immortals or remain demons would be up to them. Lemon Sprite and the others were there too. Lemon Sprite asked if he could become an immortal as well. Kunlun said he would grant him immortal status. Lemon Sprite replied that there was no need, he just wanted to see if it was real. Kunlun and the Divine Queen returned.
The Divine Queen was overjoyed, congratulating her son on becoming Celestial Monarch. Kunlun said he had never wanted to be Celestial Monarch, but now he realized that what he and his mother had been working toward were simply different paths to the same goal. The Divine Queen asked if there was something he wanted to say to her.
Kunlun said he didn’t agree with her taking the Western Sea to attack the Northern Heaven Realm, and told her to return to guard the Western Sea. He would come visit her. The Divine Queen asked if Kunlun had always hated her. Kunlun said yes. She was heartbroken, recalling the past and wondering if she had truly done wrong. Kunlun arrived at the Northern Immortal Realm. Lu Jiu was now the great king there.
Lu Jiu made a few requests, which Kunlun said were all reasonable and agreed to. Lu Jiu said he could now freely retract and release his nine tails, and figured she would want to see, so he showed Kunlun. Kunlun made two messenger talismans and kept speaking with Lu Yao. Meng Po saw Hongning and was very surprised, having thought she would never be able to make it there.
She realized Hongning had no soul and was shocked to learn that she had come by sheer will alone. Jinxiu was tending the flowers and plants in the Garden of Withered Blossoms. Kunlun arrived and joked that Jinxiu had called him here just to show off how well he had cared for them. Jinxiu said he had found Hongning and now he was leaving.
Kunlun asked if Hongning had reincarnated as a mortal—Jinxiu could help her cultivate immortality, and they could stay together here. Jinxiu said he owed Hongning too much and had to go to her. Kunlun said mortals only had one lifetime and would forget in the next. Jinxiu replied that finding Hongning again in every lifetime, meeting anew, falling in love all over again—wasn’t that quite wonderful? Jinxiu found Hongning and remembered the past. The two of them rode a boat across the lake, holding each other with deep affection.
