Episode 17 recap: Missed true love once again on a clear night.
Xing Zhi consulted Qing Ye, asking who in this lifetime would resemble Fu Sheng. After pondering for a moment, Qing Ye did think of someone—Jing Yan. Jing Yan was captured by Fu Sheng, and it was Shi Luo who saved him. Moreover, the person who had caused the death of Jing Yan's parents had a striking resemblance to Fu Sheng.
Xing Zhi could only awaken Qing Ye for a short period of time. After a brief conversation, the arrogant Jing Yan regained consciousness. Xing Zhi advised him that he now possessed the ability to purify miasma and hoped that he would do more good deeds for the common people in the future. After Jing Yan left, Shen Li emerged from the shadows. Xing Zhi recounted Qing Ye's past, revealing that he was originally a high-ranking deity in the immortal realm. Due to violating the rules of the immortal realm, he was punished and sent to the mortal realm to undergo trials, repeatedly missing his beloved.
Xing Zhi bestowed some spiritual power upon Jing Yan, hoping that he would soon comprehend what he truly sought. Shen Li sighed, realizing that in the previous life, Jing Yan wavered between two women and ultimately harmed them both. Now, history seemed to be repeating itself, and Jing Yan should make his own choice, as fate could only account for thirty percent, while the rest relied on personal decisions.
Fireworks bloomed, and the common people of the mortal realm illuminated their surroundings with lanterns and fireworks to celebrate their expulsion of miasma and newfound rebirth. Xing Zhi took Shen Li to stroll through the lantern festival and watch the fireworks. Joyful smiles filled the air, and Shen Li cherished the brief tranquility. She took off her battle armor and changed into feminine attire, walking arm in arm with Xing Zhi amidst the bustling crowd. They were separated several times due to the crowd's pushing, but after a short while, they always managed to find each other again. When Shen Li saw the rabbit lantern that Xing Zhi had given her, she was deeply moved. Although she knew that immortals were not supposed to develop emotions, she couldn't help but feel delighted by Xing Zhi's affection.
Under the moonlight, Shi Luo bid farewell to Jing Yan. She saw him clumsily crafting a grasshopper out of straw, a gift she had made for him when she saved him in their childhood. Now, Jing Yan had made a grasshopper for Shi Luo. They exchanged a few words before Shi Luo took her leave. For some reason, Jing Yan shed many tears as he watched her figure recede.
The next day, Jing Yan took his junior sister and left. Shi Luo left on a boat, watching their intimate figures, while the grasshopper she cherished so much fell silently to the ground. In this life, Shi Luo was the lotus fairy who sacrificed herself for love, destined to be missed by Jing Yan repeatedly. When Shen Li's body recovered, Xing Zhi accompanied her back to the Bi Cang Palace. Little Rou nervously welcomed her master and informed Shen Li that Fu Rong had returned to their residence and was constantly clinging to Mo Fang. Now, the Bi Cang Palace not only had Fu Rong but also the divine maiden Luo Tian. The Spirit Venerable was currently receiving this "distinguished guest" from the celestial realm in the main hall.
Shang Bei, the Immortal Lord, revealed the origin of the divine maiden You Lan. When she was young, her body was extremely weak, and even the high-ranking deities in the immortal realm had given up hope. However, Xing Zhi took the young and asthmatic You Lan away. After a series of treatments, he miraculously cured her strange illness, and since then, You Lan's heart fluttered for Xing Zhi.
Shen Li shared her experiences in the mortal realm with her master, the Spirit Venerable. The Spirit Venerable had never heard of Fu Sheng's name, but when she heard that General Zi Xia had been turned into a puppet, she was filled with shock, realizing the severity of the situation.
