Novoland: The Castle in the Sky Episode 4 Recap
> Novoland: The Castle in the Sky Recap
An astrologer advises Empress Bai Xue to go to the Starry Pavilion, as he has divined that the vessel for the Star Flow Flower God is currently there, and she should seize the opportunity. In a secret room, Yi Fuling prepares a forbidden soul-calling technique to save Bai Tingjun. Night Yan, Bai Tingjun's subordinate, discovers her but is moved by her sincerity and agrees to keep it secret.
Yi Fuling uses her own blood as a catalyst to successfully awaken Bai Tingjun. She hides the severe side effects she experiences from the technique, fearing she is in mortal danger. Meanwhile, Feng Tianyi has confined Yu Haizhen to Qingfeng Courtyard, a place filled with intricate mechanisms and treasures, encouraging him to invent.
Initially angered by Feng Tianyi's manipulation, Yu Haizhen is swayed when Feng Tianyi presents him with "Yuan Hai Tiangong", a book on mechanisms by the master Ji Shu. Feng Tianyi promises to provide one page daily on the condition that Yu Haizhen surpasses Ji Shu. Yu Haizhen eagerly dedicates himself to the book.
He later accidentally discovers Feng Tianyi's half-finished fake wings, which Feng Tianyi is using in an attempt to fly, violating the Winged Tribe's rule against flying before the age of twenty. Feng Tianyi, inspired by Ji Shu's failed attempt to create wings for humans, then gives Yu Haizhen the entire "Yuan Hai Tiangong" and the flower god pendant, tasking him with opening it and uncovering its secrets.
Yi Fuling's father, Yi Qianji, now transformed, arrives at the Starry Pavilion searching for his daughter, coincidentally witnessing Empress Bai Xue's grand arrival. Yi Qianji hides, not wishing to be seen, though Bai Xue finds him vaguely familiar. Bai Tingjun, recovering from his illness, confronts Feng Tianyi, realizing he was manipulated by Feng Tianyi using his concern for Yi Fuling and trust in the now-missing Luolin. Bai Tingjun feels powerless against Feng Tianyi's fabrications.
As Yi Fuling's health deteriorates from the soul-calling technique, she drags her ailing body away, hoping to spare Bai Tingjun guilt, and collapses unconscious in the wilderness. Night Yan, unable to bear Yi Fuling's suffering, reveals the truth of her sacrifice to Bai Tingjun. Devastated, Bai Tingjun finds the dying Yi Fuling. At the same time, while Yu Haizhen is studying the flower god pendant, it suddenly activates, releasing the Star Flow Flower.
The flower drifts away, finding Yi Fuling and merging with a birthmark on her ear, forming a glowing Star Flow Flower. Bai Tingjun remembers a mysterious protective power and a red glow from Yi Fuling's ear during a childhood incident, realizing she is the Star Flow Flower God. Yi Fuling's condition immediately improves, but she is saddened that Bai Tingjun still avoids touching her.
Empress Bai Xue, who has witnessed the entire scene, is secretly delighted to have found the Star Flow Flower God's vessel. Upon waking, Yi Fuling discovers her five senses are extraordinarily heightened, allowing her to hear the sounds of nature. She overhears a conversation between Bai Xue and Bai Tingjun, where Bai Xue proposes Yi Fuling become the Crown Princess. Overjoyed, Yi Fuling rushes out and encounters Feng Tianyi.
Feng Tianyi gives her a forged letter from Yu Haizhen, assuring his safety, and forcefully escorts her away. Amidst her happiness, Yi Fuling reveals to Feng Tianyi that she is to become the Crown Princess. However, Bai Tingjun refuses his mother's proposal to marry Yi Fuling, concealing his true feelings and claiming to love someone else. Despite his rejection, Bai Xue remains resolute, insisting on their immediate marriage.
