Novoland: The Castle in the Sky Episode 23 Recap
> Novoland: The Castle in the Sky Recap
Feng Tianyi unexpectedly grew wings, delighting Feng Ren and dispelling all rumors of his inability to fly. Yi Fuling awakened, determined to find Feng Tianyi despite her shoulder injury and Yu Haizhen's revelation that Bai Tingjun had scraped bone to change marrow for her, hoping to break a blood oath and reunite. Feeling an undeniable pull towards Feng Tianyi, Yi Fuling entrusted Bai Tingjun to Yu Haizhen and departed.
Prioritizing Yi Fuling's safety over his immediate Wing Spreading Ceremony, Feng Tianyi sensed her danger through a flickering star-flow flower tattoo behind his ear. He arrived just as her Starry Shuttle, having run out of star-flow powder, was plummeting, and he rescued her. Yi Fuling initially remained suspicious of his relationship with Xue Feishuang, but as Feng Tianyi shielded her from the heavy rain, he vehemently denied any private affections, explaining that Xue Feishuang had been with Xiang Congling.
He guaranteed his loyalty with his life, resolving their misunderstanding, and they reconciled. Meanwhile, Bai Tingjun suffered excruciating pain and disfigurement due to not resting after the marrow transplant. Feng Ren stalled for time during the Wing Spreading Ceremony until Feng Tianyi arrived with Yi Fuling, flying in on his newly formed wings, silencing all courtly whispers and restoring calm to the Southern Kingdom.
Feng Tianyi then confessed his secret to Yi Fuling: he was born without wing holes, a disabled prince, who had sought the Flower Goddess Pendant's power to fly before meeting her. Yi Fuling affirmed her unwavering support, accepting him entirely, and Feng Tianyi crowned her, pledging their lives to each other.
Relieved, Feng Ren dismissed the renowned physicians he had prepared (having intended to give Feng Tianyi his own wings if necessary) and decided to leave the Southern Kingdom to seek a broader life. That night, Bai Tingjun, playing his flute by the cliff where Bi Anhua had sacrificed herself, was met by Tianyazi from Tianji Gate.
Tianyazi revealed that Bi Anhua's death was in vain, as Ji Shu had lied; the Star-flow Flower Goddess's Yang Pendant indicated her fated lover, not Bai Tingjun, and was not a sign of disaster. Enraged by Ji Shu's deception, Bai Tingjun, feeling he had lost everything, was persuaded by Tianyazi to return to Frost City and seize power, capitalizing on Bai Xue's disappearance.
