Episode 27 recap: Xing Zhi took great care of Shen Li and prepared fish for her.

Shen Li knew that Xing Zhi concealed his identity to avoid awkwardness and considering his injuries, she decided to help him hide it. She intentionally claimed that she could see, causing Xing Zhi to immediately change his expression, thinking that she couldn't recognize him.Shen Li wanted to eat fish, so Xing Zhi went fishing.

Upon witnessing this, the Little Fairy of the East Sea reported to the Dragon King, who speculated that Xing Zhi had ulterior motives. He then ordered someone to replace the fish with treasures. After all the hard work, Xing Zhi only received a kelp soup, leaving Shen Li puzzled.

The next day, Xing Zhi went to the East Sea Dragon King to ask for fish. The Dragon King first gave him a mermaid, but upon hearing his inquiry about the taste of soup, he immediately understood and selected two fish suitable for boiling soup and grilling.

Shen Li praised Xing Zhi's fish porridge, and she was in a pleasant mood. Xing Zhi wanted to reward her, but Shen Li bluntly told him to continue fishing. When Xing Zhi was not at home, Shen Li made efforts to practice walking since her acupoints had been blocked by the mysterious iron, making it difficult for her to move.

When Xing Zhi discovered this, he prepared several ropes for her. As he saw her in pain, he felt deeply distressed.

Without receiving any news from Xing Zhi for several days, You Lan woke up Fu Rong and asked him to go to the East Sea to check on him. Fu Rong discovered Xing Zhi and the still-living Shen Li. Xing Zhi asked him to keep it a secret, not wanting to be disturbed by the outside world.

Fu Rong agreed and kept the secret.

Back in the immortal realm, Fu Rong intended to find medical books to aid Shen Li's recovery. When You Lan heard that he wanted to help Xing Zhi, she grew suspicious. Upon discovering that Shen Li was still alive and was Xing Zhi's lifesaver, she gave Fu Rong a medicinal talisman and no longer mentioned visiting Xing Zhi.
