> Novoland: The Castle in the Sky Recaps
Feng Tianyi discovers that he and Yi Fuling are the reincarnations of the Star Flow Goddess and her destined lover, explaining his ability to fly without wing-holes. Unwilling to witness Yi Fuling's prophesied demise, he resolves to alter her fate. Meanwhile, Bai Tingjun, at the ruins of Sky City, expresses his determination to repair it swiftly before the Star Flow Goddess descends.
With Ji Shu deceased, he orders a region-wide search for Yu Haizhen, Ji Shu's sole successor, to complete the task within the tight deadline. General Xiong (also referred to as Xiong Tang) criticizes Bai Tingjun's increasingly cruel and ruthless behavior, fearing Tian Yazhi's influence. When she attempts to persuade Bai Tingjun to halt the search and dismiss Qi Luolin, Tian Yazhi intervenes and kills her.
Though distressed, Bai Tingjun accepts a calming pill from Tian Yazhi, who advises him to forgo virtue. Later, Qi Luolin suggests Bai Tingjun abandon his pursuit of Yi Fuling, but Bai Tingjun is consumed by a desire to defy fate and reunite with her. Tian Yazhi slaps him, asserting the principle, "My fate is mine to control, not heaven's," which hardens Bai Tingjun's resolve and character.
On the night before their wedding, Feng Tianyi brings Yi Fuling to their prepared new home, giving her a unicorn puppet as a symbol of his unique love and swearing to protect her even if it means being reviled. He harbors a deep sorrow, wishing for a simple life with Yi Fuling, who, conversely, eagerly anticipates their wedding day. However, on the day of the wedding, Yi Fuling is informed that Feng Tianyi has broken off the engagement and fled.
She pilots the Starship above the Southern Metropolis, searching for him. Feng Tianyi eventually appears but acts cold and resolute, discarding the unicorn puppet. To prove his love, Yi Fuling jumps from the Starship. Feng Tianyi initially moves to save her but then releases his grip, letting her fall, seemingly remembering the legend of the Star Flow Goddess.
Yi Fuling, protected by the divine power of the Star Flow Goddess within her, is unharmed upon impact and is found by Yu Haizhen, who quickly takes her away. In the Southern Metropolis, the Starry Pavilion elders confront Feng Ren about the canceled wedding, revealing Yi Fuling's true identity as the Star Flow Goddess and Feng Tianyi as her destined lover. They warn that failure to marry will bring calamity to the Winged Tribe.
Feng Ren suddenly understands that Feng Tianyi's actions were a desperate measure to protect Yi Fuling from her predetermined fate of vanishing. Despite Feng Tianyi's seemingly cruel betrayal, Yi Fuling firmly believes he has a hidden reason. Yu Haizhen, angered by Feng Tianyi's repeated emotional torment of Yi Fuling, initially expresses his outrage but ultimately relents to her pleas.
He carries her back towards the Southern Metropolis, agreeing to bring Feng Tianyi to her but making her promise to give up on him if he doesn't arrive by nightfall. Feng Tianyi, meanwhile, is seen distraught, picking up the fragmented unicorn. Yu Haizhen finds Feng Tianyi and tries to persuade him to meet Yi Fuling, but Feng Tianyi coldly rejects her, claiming to no longer love her and even offering her to Yu Haizhen.
Enraged, Yu Haizhen fights Feng Tianyi but is no match for him. Feng Tianyi lets him leave, but Yu Haizhen relentlessly insists that Feng Tianyi swear not to provoke Yi Fuling again, hoping that by refusing to see her today, he can make her definitively abandon him.
