Legend of the White Snake - Episode 15

I should have a little more faith in Xu Xian and Suzhen. They easily take care of the situation. Suzhen apologizes for Qing Er, as she likes to play tricks and Xu Xian gives a little more money to give back to the people. Qing Er feels bad, because she couldn’t even earn money for them and even gave them more trouble. Suzhen says she forgives her, she knows she meant well, and Xu Xian apologizes for not being able to provide for them and promises he will turn things around soon enough. Qing Er is about to tell him there’s no use in going asking for a job, but Suzhen stops him from doing so and suggests that he opens his own practice. Was about time. He objects that it takes too much money, but smart Suzhen just tells him that wherever he is, it could be his office since he has the qualifications to be a doctor. So she decide to do everything in her power to help him open his practice and she learns so much with big sis.

Suzhen then works really hard to make a new kind of cream and it’s actually getting really popular because of the perfume. Even when people consult Xu Xian, they want to buy some more. Even her embroidery his popular, but he refused to take an order, because her hands are already all hurt from the work and he doesn’t want her to work that hard. She came to send him lunch and he gets a little upset because he told her to eat first and then send it to him. They so cute, having a competition about who is more hard working.

During his meditation, Fahai encounters a devil spirit which claims to actually be himself, like his dark soul? Wow. This is interesting. Like, Fahai dedicated his life into chasing demons and as everybody else, he also has his inner demons. Oh my. What happened to master monk? Did he died? Wait what? He gives him something that can oversee any illusion and asks him to go on a journey.

Xu Xian takes Suzhen to his parents’ grave, to introduce her. Right then, they bump into that ugly official. He forces them into kneeling in front of him and he threatens Xu Xian, saying he doesn’t need to go greet his parents because he’s going to make sure he joins them in death anytime soon, plus he will give Suzhen to his son because he likes her. Suzhen hahaha. She’s so petty. She’s like who are you to pretend to kill my husband and give me to your son as if we are objects? How about you walk on a stone and fall on the ground?

Finally, they manage to have enough money to open their own practice. I am so happy for them awww. But I fear that official, Minister Liang, is going to bring them troubles again... Yep they did. They made sure that some old people and orphans get infected with a really hard to heal disease so they would all go to Baohe tang, Xu Xian’s place, which is bad for them because I didn’t properly understand. But. I don’t care, because they will manage. Oh. The medicine for that disease is really hard. It’s a cream that you shouldn’t ingest. I still don’t get it. But okay. I am not a Doctor. Xu Xian senses there’s something wrong, because that old granny (from the boat) was doing great two days ago, it doesn’t make sense that she got the disease so fast. Oh my god. That underling of the minister offers a mantou to that old lady, but she decides to keep it for her husband. Then he forces her eating. Oh my gosh. What? Old lady ): Why would they kill her ):

So they come to arrest Xu Xian for killing the old lady. What? I mean, she’s like a beggar and nobody would have cared about her if she died of hunger, but now? What the hell?

Well sorry guys. Xu Xian is too smart for you. You should plan better. And wait for Suzhen to come back with evidence. Pfff. As if you could hurt them. Yep. She comes with the old lady’s husband. He also had the disease, but didn’t dare to tell his wife not to worry her, and since she’s blind, she wouldn’t know. And he never let her use Xu Xian medicine because of the ingredient in it, he was worried, but he tested the medicine on him first. And it indeed healed him. He only used a little, so there’s still left to see if it could kill his wife. Omg. He saw somebody killing his wife ): Poor little old man. He recognizes the minister’s underling. He’s evil, I hope he gets caught but... he has a way too important boss. I don’t think he will get punished. Even though it as been proved he’s the culprit. Poor old lady. Poor old man.

Xu Xian made a little extra money and gives some to Qing Er. She hurries to go spend it on alcohol and meets another alcohol lover. Is it a good encounter? That guy picks medicine in the mountains. Xu Xian is looking for good quality herbs. Is that the beginning of a partnership? And a love interest?

So the next they post a announcement as they are looking for good quality medicine, like specifically what they need. So Zhang Yutang comes along and he shows to Qing Er snake eggs haha. She’s so uncomfortable and asks him to watch by himself, but he doesn’t know how to read. Haha oh wow. Everything he has in coming from snakes. She looks so unwell, he thinks she got sick from drinking too much and wants to give her medicine made from snake hahaha.

Okay, I think all love interest is dead now. A snake killer dating a snake, that would be the worst haha. I should stop trying to find love interest for each characters of this drama haha.

Legend of the White Snake - Episode 26

So  Xiao Qing confesses to Suzhen that she wants to be with Yutang the same way she is with Xu Xian. Suzhen looks a little a worried and reminds him that he’s just a normal human. Since Suzhen is married with a human too, Xiao Qing wants to learn from her.

Xu Xian sees that Suzhen is still worrying and tries to make her at ease by telling her how much Yutang is a nice guy and having him taking care of Xiao Qing would be nice, because he won’t make her unhappy and take good care of her. But she’s not worried about that, she’s more worried about life and death matters. Suzhen tells that as soon as Yutang and Xiao Qing would become a couple, even if he doesn’t care for what she really is, her poison is going to injure him really bad. She also says that if she didn’t gave him her core, he would have been poisoned too. She can endure it because she has a thousand years of cultivation behind her, however, Xiao Qing’s 500 years are not enough for her to lose her core, without it she would be forced to reveal her real form. So that’s why she’s not willing to put them through that pain. So Xu Xian and Suzhen decides to make sure they spend less time together, so they can avoid that disaster where either Xiao Qing will get injured or either Yutang is going to. This is so sad TT I want them to live happily together. Please find a way.

It’s actually really cute how they are trying to keep Xiao Qing away from Yutang. And I never knew Xu Xian could lie so well. When Suzhen took Xiao Qing to buy new material for clothes, the merchant showed her a little pouch which is supposed to bring good fortune and make sure that a couple never separates. But Suzhen doesn’t want Xiao Qing to have so she shakes her so the merchant keeps in the end. But of course, Xiao Qing takes it with magic. When she tries to give it to Xu Xian he takes it saying it’s great, since he lost his, Suzhen was going to give him one. Then Xiao Qing tells him it’s not from Suzhen, but she wants to give it to Yutang. So he goes on about how he was surprised that Suzhen would chose one made out of such ominous materials and explains to her why it’s not good.

Xu Xian though feels a little bad for what he did and keeps thinking about it. Then he asks Suzhen, if she didn’t have a  thousand years of cultivation, would she still have been with him? Well... I am mostly thinking that he wouldn’t be with her because she got her human form just right then. Oh well. She says she would obviously leave if the price of their love was his life. Then he asks her, if they changed places, and that her life was in danger if they had to stay together, would she leave? And she’s like no, never. So he says, we are doing because we want them to be safe and well, but is it the right thing to do? Maybe we are causing more damage? So he’s wondering, can they find another way to avoid the poisoning? He read that the blood of an immortal could help, but Suzhen knows how hard it is to come accross.

But then she thinks of Xiao Qing’s underlings and go meet them. They say their blood is not good enough, the only one she could use would be... her faher’s blood, the Dragon king. Knowing of that, Suzhen naively thinks he would easily agree for his daughter and leaves without the four minor immortals being able to finish the story. Oops... That’s looking bad.

Suzhen finds on her a very precious artefact that belongs to the Dragon and takes it back to him. As a reward, she asks for the blood, but the king gets angry and won’t recognize Xiao Qing as his daughter, he only has nine sons he says and won’t agree. So Suzhen forcefully takes the blood and he freeze her. But in the end, he lets her go, but if she tries again to speak up for Xiao Qing, he won’t show mercy. He let her go this time only because she brought back the artefact.

Since she didn’t manage to get the blood, I don’t know what she stole then, she decides to tell the truth to Yutang. She can’t tell it to Xiao Qing because of her temper and she decides to do it herself and be the bad one, not Xu Xian. Okay so she doesn’t really tell the truth, she just tried to push him away by letting him know he’s not good enough for Xiao Qing, but then Xiao Qing happens to hear and now she hates Suzhen. Poor Suzhen. She’s so hurt, but she did it out of good will and Xiao Qing wouldn’t understand.

Oh no ): Xiao Qing kisses him. It’s too late. He tried to push her away, but he can’t, he likes her. And... I believe it would be hard to run away from someone like Xiao Qing haha. But it’s kind of cute. He frees himself from her grip and runs away.

Then Fahai comes in. He wants to take Xiao Qing back to Jinshan Temple, but she won’t and since he keeps pestering her, she screams for help. And of course, her hero is none other than Yutang. Fahai then leaves after hearing that dark voice. And well. Suzhen’s work was up to nothing. Yutang and Xiao Qing both confess to each others their feelings.

Oh no, that dark spirit takes over Fahai’s body and he can only go take possession of a cat’s body. this is looking bad.

Xiao Qing and Yutang didn’t go back to Baohe tang and went to look for Yutang’s origins. She found the object they are looking for, but it’s going to get complicated to retrieve it. Yutang comes back to Baohe tang looking for Xiao Qing, but there are no traces of her so Suzhen is worried.

Legend of the White Snake - Episode 10

So the officers are taking everyone from Jishitang because the officer died after eating their medicine... Of course. Even Ruyi. Will teach you to say nonsense and accusing Bai Suzhen. So to prevent Xu Xian getting involved, Suzhen turns herself in and ask not to bother the rest of them. Such a nice girl.

Yinxiang takes Xu Xian a long way, but he’s too smart and realizes she’s lying to him and guesses that Ruyi wants to do something to Suzhen. Xu Xian runs to the pharmacy, but it’s too late, Suzhen has already been taken away. She wonders how come he died from his medicine. She only prescribed a laxative in it and Xu Xian took it away. So it really was her. Well, I actually like that. It means she’s not as naive as I thought. When she tries to come back to her snake form, she realizes her powers have been sealed.

As soon as he hears about Suzhen being taken away, Xu Xian wants to go save her. He’s the one who prepared the medicine, not her so he should be the one taken away. Ruyi doesn’t want him to go, of course she likes better Suzhen being accused, and her dad also tries to convince him not to angry the officials otherwise they won’t be able to keep on doing business. But then Xu Xian says the only way for them not to be affected is to prove Suzhen’s innocence. So daddy lets him go because it makes sense.

That fox lady. I knew Jing Song shouldn’t trust her. Of course she will uses this to eat Suzhen’s core and after that, he won’t have any ways to defeat her. He’s blinded by jealousy. Or is he helping Suzhen? I mean, he doesn’t look that stupid. Anyways, that fox tells Suzhen that she’s sealed and that it’s thanks to her friend. It doesn’t take long for Suzhen to realizes that it’s Jing Song that gave her sur a magic tool.

Yep, exactly as I said. She plans to take Suzhen’s core. Just right then,  they come to free Suzhen, just in time, Kexin couldn’t get Suzhen’s core. Xu Xian came to clear Suzhen’s name. I hope he wins. And not by accusing himself...

At a guesthouse, Qing Er is eating and resenting that Suzhen likes Xu Xian better than her and she hears about what happened at the pharmacy. Qing Er doesn’t believe Suzhen killed someone, they tell her it’s true and to go look herself if she doesn’t believe it.

So Xu Xian’s idea is to drink himself the medicine that was prepared for the doctor. If he doesn’t die, it means that it’s not due the medicine. But ugly fox is there. I don’t trust her. Then another higher official comes to judge the case. When he hears Xu Xian’s name, he looks somewhat weird. He must know him, maybe? With the reading mind of the fox, we know that this dude is the one who killed Xu Xian’s dad. So she uses that to her advantage. Even though Xu Xian just had the medicine and didn’t die, he says there’s no proof that the medicine wouldn’t harm someone who’s sick. So they decide to punish Suzhen by hitting her. Xu Xian uses his body to protect her and accuses them of not having any proof to declare her guilty. So they say they have a witness: Hu Kexin. Fox lady. ARRRGH.

Qing Er TT Come and help Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. She’s just wondering there why Suzhen isn’t replying. They changed the medicine somewhere and put in some kind of flower that in a too high dose can cause death. Xu Xian and Suzhen definitely didn’t put that in there. Oh yes! Qing Er! She realizes that Suzhen is tied by something that keeps her from moving. Good girl! Now go and help. So you become BFF again.

The officers claim that Suzhen is guilty and orders to beat her. Xu Xian says that he’s the one to have prepared the medicine so if any problem came out with it they should punish him, not her. But they don’t want to listen. As they are about to hit Suzhen, Qing Er finally helps. She makes them unable to hit her and disrupt their movements! Yay! I hope that now she heard Xu Xian begging to get punished instead of Suzhen she trusts him more. She starts yelling that they are accusing the innocent and that she was protected by the good spirits. The people around also starts believing it and wants Suzhen to be claimed innocent. So they have no other choice but to let her go, which means she’s not tied anymore by the sealing rope. HAHAHAHA. In your face ugly fox. Now, please save my dear Xu Xian.

Kexin pretends to faint and gets back the rope. Yikes. Qing Er follows her. QING ER! QING ER! QING ER!

They declare Xu Xian guilty, Suzhen tries to help him. But then he tells her that he’s okay, to not be afraid because he promised to protect her. This guy </3 He asks her to take good care of his sister for him. TT Such a nice guy. Don’t hurt him </3

I don’t really get what happened with that higher up official and Xu Xian’s father, but he’s looking for something and it seems to involves someone else’s death too. He goes to question him, but Xu Xian is like oh wow, you looked into my identity, good for you, by the way, I’m not going to make my father lose face. Mister officer tells him that his dad was killed because he hid some texts, if he tells him everything he knows, he will spare his life. Xu Xian just laughs. Don’t let that old creepy guy bully you! He won’t say anything.

Suzhen and big sister are cleaning the mess the officers made earlier and they find Xu Xian’s medicine journal. In it, on the day the dead guy came, he wrote that he needed the specific flower that poisoned the officer, but the pharmacy already used it all and it was nowhere to find in town and he had to switch ingredients. So it basically proves his innocence. YAY SUZHEN!

Right then Ruyi comes in and says bad thing about Suzhen, but Li Gongfu is like “we know Suzhen’s character, this has nothing to do with her, leave her alone”.

Suzhen gets confirmation that Xu Xian was framed, but the guy, if tells everything, his whole family will get involved and die. Suzhen decides to go see Xu Xian.

Back in his prison, the prisoner next to him tries to kill him, but he was already wary of him because he said he was sent to jail because he stole some mantou since he was so hungry, but then when they sent the food, he didn’t even eat, so Xu Xian knew it was a lie. Somebody’s trying to get rid of him quickly.

Suzhen and Li gongfu got in just right in time to save him. She asks him why he didn’t say anything about the flower, but he says he didn’t hide from her on purpose. He tries to convince her to leave because it’s unsafe. No matter how much she asks, he doesn’t want to tell her. She’s hurt because she thought he was thinking of her as his, but he retorts that it’s exactly for that reason that he doesn’t want her to face any danger. He tells her they have no other way because it’s the dude that harmed his father to death.

How much more complicated is this legend going to be? I didn’t think this drama would be so fascinating. It’s almost, almost, making me forget the sadness of the emptiness that left the Untamed into my heart. It can’t replace it, but it helps to make me forget how sad I am that this drama is ended. And I can’t help but keep watching.

Legend of the White Snake - Episode 25

Yay. Agaaaaiiiin. Of course, for the one post I forget to save drafts, my computer won’t let me have my ways! And I had to be almost at the end of the episode. However, maybe that’s a good thing that I have to rewrite this recap, because it was extremely... hm short compared to what I use to write. We’ll see how it turns out this time. Just maybe my reactions will be a little different than in the original post. Which is annoying because I really try to be extremely genuine with those reactions.

So staged. Ruyi runs towards the cliff, but she doesn’t even jump. She stops right at the edge and then Daoling disguised into an immortal pulls her back to Jiaorong’s side. That fake tells her that a snake demon is hiding next to his little brother and that he attracts demon.

Xiao Qing tries to spy on them, but they are too far away and can’t hear anything they say. But as she believes that that man is trying to dupe Jiaorong when he hands her a plate, she gets really and rushes to go fight that liar, but then she ate too much shaved ice earlier and she feels unwell so Yutang gives her a piggy back ride back to Baohe tang.

On their way back home they bump into an old man getting kicked out of a practice because he’s too poor to pay for medicine and treatments. His illness is very serious and he needs to be treated quickly. Suzhen offers to pay for his medical treatment so the clinic won’t have any reasons to refuse him. Since even so they don’t want to take him in, Xu Xian and Suzhen brings the uncle back to Baohe tang.

That ill person is really suspicious. He always keeps his eyes half closed half open and his disease is really strange, Xu Xian never saw something like that. Suzhen brings some rice porridge and he complains that she doesn’t give her anything good to eat and she explains to him that porridge is actually really good for health. When he’s better he can eat what he likes, she will even cook it for her.

Ruyi is really mad at Daoling for not saying that Suzhen is the white snake, that then she did everything for nothing. But he tells her that the plate he gave her is real, he took it from when he was an immortal. And I just realized, while watching a second time, why his face when he was younger looked so similar. If I am not wrong, it’s the guy that was playing the son of the second prince in Eternal Love, the poor little boy that was framed by Su Jin. Poor him. Anyways, that has nothing to do with the story here. He fell in love with an immortal looking like Ruyi and because of that neglected his duty, which resulted in him losing his status and becoming a demon. He believes Ruyi is that same girl and that she followed him in the mortal realm. For what I have seen, she’s probably forced to be there as a punishment, she seemed to have the same bad character, too spoiled.

The sick old man is going through Xu Xian’s notebook and even corrects mistakes here and there, adds more notes. Seems like he’s an immortal actually. When he hears footstep, he lies down again. Suzhen and Xu Xian prepared a special medicine for him, but he says it smells so bad, medicine doesn’t need to be so ill tasting, they could add dattes and and a few more things to make it less bitter. He accepts to take his medicine after Suzhen talks to him and when he’s complaining because it’s too bitter, she hands him some deserts she prepared to forget the taste. They even get him a bath with herbs ready. Since they treated him well, he gives to Xu Xian a medicine book.

Jiaorong’s prayers to the plate (which is kind of a token of authority or something like that) invokes a big storm which hurts Xiao Qing and she goes off Yutang’s back. Then lightning breaks a tree and Yutang uses his body to protect Xiao Qing. I ship. Very had.

When she sees that wather, Suzhen gets worried. I believe she knows it’s no good for her kind and the uncle pushes them back inside. He thinks it’s actually coming for him and he leaves. Seems like he’s  the Lü immortal, the real one this time. He wonders who dares use this plate without having the right to and it breaks down, making Jiaorong unconscious.

While Xiao Qing is taking care of Yutang’s injury, she’s crying, but she tries to hide it from him. How cute.

Suzhen and Xu Xian burn incense for Lü immortal, since they notice it was him. He seems happy with their thank, so he makes things appear on the altar they made for him.

Back home, Jiaorong wakes up screaming, she had nightmares in which she saw the real immortal Lü telling her not to believe again in demons, otherwise she’s going to pay the price. Xu Xian tells her that the first one must have been a fake, which is why the last one told her not to believe in demons again. Gongfu was very worried about her. Jiaorong then tells them that it was Ruyi who introduced her to that immortal, he really could use magic. Then Jiaorong is worried that Ruyi is also tricked by that fake, but right Xiao Qing comes in and says that Ruyi and that fake were together, that she’s trying to harm them. Suzhen asks Xiao Qing to stop saying that nonsense. She knows that Jiaorong still likes Ruyi and she doesn’t want the confrontation. Jiaorong still actually asks for forgiveness and then Xiao Qing is starting to feel unwell again.

While watching on her, Suzhen tells Xiao Qing that there is no medicine for her poisoning. Xiao Qing begs Suzhen then to take care of her four underlings and.... of Zhang Yutang. Who’s really worried about her. Then... Hahahaha! Okay, I love it. Actually, she’s just getting her first period. I love have how Suzhen teased her.

Awww. Yutang is so worried about Xiao Qing. He asks Xu Xian to tell him the truth, no matter what she has, he’s willing to take care of her. Cute <3 No matter how expensive the medicine, he’s willing to pay. Xiao Qing hears that and she yells that she’s not sick and leaves. Xu Xian then tells Yutang to make sure Xiao Qing drinks a lot of hot water, nothing too cold and that he doesn’t fight with her. Four or five days later, she should be completely healed. Hahaha.

Omg. Jiaorong and Gongfu looking for a husband for Xiao Qing and asking Suzhen’s opinin. Suzhen’s like... oh sorry, I want to keep Xiao Qing for myself a few years still, I will take care of that when the times come. But that worries her a lot and Xu Xian notices that she’s worried and they discuss that matter. Actually, Xu Xian is shipping too, but Suzhen isn’t so sure about that. Xiao Qing can’t be compared to her. It’s different. Feels like she doesn’t dare to tell him that her core is inside him so he wouldn’t die.

Moh. Xiao Qing tries to flirt with Yutang, but he’s completely oblivious to it and all dedicated to work haha.

Worried Suzhen makes it that Xiao Qing tells her what she really thinks of Yutang which is... like!

[dreamingsushi]

Legend of the White Snake - Episode 19

So. I was half way through the episode when my computer decided it was the perfect time to reboot. Again! Yep, I think it’s sulking because I now have a desk computer and uses it a little more often. So pardon me if the recap of the first half of the episode is lacking, I have already seen it and have to rewrite what I did. I should save drafts way more often hahaha. Saving just now. Just in case.

Xiao Qing is trying to keep herself cool by swimming in West Lake. Then Fahai comes and traps her in her bowl. But he grows a flower so she would be feeling a little less the heat. Can Xiao Qing build a harem and have many lovers? Am I weird to ship her with almost every body?

Xu Xian comes back home with a bottle of alcohol for him to drink with Suzhen for the Duanwu festival. So Ruyi asks Xu Xian if he added realgar inside of it, as it tradition, but he didn’t so she adds it in for him. So Suzhen won’t have choice but to reveal her true form. She’s so mean. Suzhen is still feeling unwell because of the heat and it worries Xu Xian. He came back earlier to spend time with his wife and pours wine for her. She tries to not drink it, but in the end she can’t really find a reason good enough to refuse. So she ends up drinking it anyways.

Fahai finally releases Xiao Qing and she asks him why would he help her. Then he just ignores her. Then, due to the gift his master left for him, he realizes that Xiao Qing is half immortal and warns her that as soon as she hurts people, he won’t show mercy even if she’s half immortal. Xiao Qing is of course asking for a duel someday later and finally realizes he called her half-immortal and asks him about it, but he just leaves, so she can only run after him.

Back home, Suzhen is experiencing problems to maintain her human form and because she’s wearing the buddhist beads Ruyi gave her, she can’t use her spiritual energy. So she asks Xu Xian to go out. It takes her a lot to make him go out. Why won’t she just  take off that bracelet? Gosh. It’s so simple, why does she not know those things when she was reluctant even to accept it as a gift... Outside, Xu Xian is getting really worried about his wife. Then Ruyi comes in yelling that a snake went inside the room where Suzhen is. Which is bad because Suzhen is transforming back. A panicked Xu Xian breaks the door only to see a huge white snake inside the house. He thinks it ate his wife and dies out of the shock ): Well at first I wasn’t sure if he died or just fainted, but he literally dies on the spot.

When Ruyi comes back with Jiaorong, it’s only to see a big white snake fleeing away and a dead Xu Xian. I hope Ruyi is happy now. She killed Xu Xian with her harmful ways.

Fahai runs into Xu Xian’s house to see he’s dead and believes that the White Snake killed Xu Xian. Suzhen then comes back, so sad because she knows she’s the one who hurt Xu Xian and then big sis asks her how come she escaped by herself, leaving Xu Xian alone. Then as he sees her and his staff doesn’t react, Fahai is doubting again. He blamed her but she’s not the culprit? Is it true? Suzhen blames Ruyi for giving her the buddhist beads and Fahai prevents her from hurting Ruyi. But what actually stops her is that she sees Xu Xian’s soul trying to leave his body. She asks Li Gongfu to take Jiaorong and Ruyi to rest, she will stay by Xu Xian’s side. Then she begs Fahai to save Xu Xian, she’s willing to pay any price. But Fahai has no way to save him.

Suzhen traps herself into pain and sadness over the death of her husband. She’s desperate to find a way to bring him back to life. Then the rest of the family comes to take Xu Xian’s corpse. Xiao Qing warns them that Suzhen won’t allow it and indeed she doesn’t. Big sis is a little unhappy with her and blames her for not having been by Xu Xian’s side when he was attacked by the snake.

Suzhen tries to convince them that there’s still a way to save him, that he’s not dead. She says he’s not dead and takes big sis in to show her. How dare that Ruyi follow and come in? Doesn’t she feel guilty for what happened to Xu Xian? And she even has the nerves to tell Suzhen that if she really likes Xu Xian, she should let him go? WHAT? Did I hear her say that? That little. Okay. Now I hate you. You pretend that you have nothing to do with this? You should be a mess and cursing your own stupidity.

And now big sis accusing her again of running away without him when the snake came. Poor Suzhen. Jiaorong orders to take Xu Xian’s corpse and says that Suzhen is crazy thinking she can still revive him. But Suzhen begs her to have three more days. In that span of time, she can revive him. Jiaorong agrees but if after that he hasn’t been saved, she shouldn’t come back. Poor Suzhen. Now the in laws dislike her. Get that awful Ruyi out of that room. She has no right to stay when she harmed that much Xu Xian.

Xiao Qing is mad at Suzhen for promising to save Xu Xian, but she says she knows a way and begs her to go get Fahai for her as she needs his help. Even though at first he’s not really willing to help, he ends up agreeing. She needs him to help Xiao Qing looking on the lamp, that fire is going to prevent Xu Xian’s soul to disperse. She’s herself planning to go to Kunlun mountains and get an herb to save him. Xiao Qing tries to prevent her from doing so, because it’s a place for immortals where demons shouldn’t go, but Suzhen is determined. She’s rather die than not try. Xiao Qing wants to go with her, but Suzhen convinces her to stay and keep an eye on Xu Xian and her core because in this world, the only person she can trust now is Xiao Qing. Suzhen really knows how to get Xiao Qing’s feelings.

JIN SONG!!!!!

Okay, out of that random moment of happiness. He’s like happy to learn that Xu Xian died. Well I guess anybody would like to see their rival out of the way and it was kind of bound to happen. Suzhen is clearly going to live longer than Xu Xian. I can’t dislike him for being happy. Even though my heart screams for that poor Xu Xian. And he’s going to stop her. Oh god. Jin Ling. Poor little thing.

Wow. The set of the Kunlun mountains is just sooooo beautiful. At first, when Suzhen sees Jin Song, she’s kind of happy. I think she misses him a little, but as soon as she understands he’s here to try to convince her to stop, she gets sad again and asks him to mind his own business. As they are about to fight each other, they get distracted by something and Suzhen takes that opportunity to flee.

Back home, because Xu Xian’s body isn’t degrading, Fahai has to repulse evil spirits. She needs to calm down to be able to help him take care of the body.

The spirit that try to come in was actually Wang Daoling. He couldn’t get any information and asks Ruyi to distract at night the monk so he can fight with Xiao Qing. Because he’s no match for Fahai. Gosh. That Ruyi. She’s going to kill Xu Xian twice. And she doesn’t even... what? She has no guilt for what she’s done? She blames it on Suzhen. That girl has mental issues. Please somebody take her away.

Suzhen gets discovered by one of the disciple of the master of Kunlun mountains and fights with him to get the medicine. However, without her core, she’s no match for it and if it wasn’t for Jin Song, she would have died. He takes her away and is so worried when she doesn’t wake up. He tries again to convince her to go back with him to Emei, but she won’t give up and she’s willing to sacrifice herself to save Xu Xian. Then he tells her he can save Xu Xian. At first she doesn’t believe him, but he insists. He gives him the opportunity to go in the past 5 times, it’s super dangerous though.

She then uses that little disciple’s appearance to trick the other disciple only to learn that the master took all the magical herbs away to make it a present for some immortal. She follows to there and her way of getting in is to use the younger disciple’s appearance. One of the guards is doubting, but the other convinces him it’s all fine so she gets in without trouble. For now. More obstacles are waiting for her.

Legen of the White Snake - Episode 18

Wang Daoling took Ruyi back to his den to show her something that will prove his identity. If she’s willing to stay, all of his treasures are hers. She asks him if he has any magic powers and he demonstrate by lighting a candle. She tells him to change into Xu Xian’s form, but he tells her that about the most handsome form he can get, since frogs are just ugly in the beginning. Going for a handsome avatar would be a waste of energy. Like big time. Well he changes, but he can’t hold it more than a few seconds, which makes Ruyi angry. And here’s why Xu Xian could never be with her. She only likes him because he’s handsome. If he were ugly, she wouldn’t even think of him ):

Awww. Suzhen ships Xiao Qing and Yutang. How cute. They did has planned and are giving free consultations. Fahai happens to pass by and is still confused. Then he hears people, other doctors, say that they only do that to increase their income, so when it’s not free, people would still come to them. Right then he sees people giving stuff to Xu Xian’s big sister. Nooo. They are really genuine about it.

Ruyi tries to leave Wang Daoling’s place and he tells her that it’s not he doesn’t want to get rid of Bai Suzhen for her, it’s just that she’s a snake too old and powerful for him to win over. Ruyi rushes to go tell Xu Xian about it but Daoling stops her from doing so. If she doesn’t show her real form, there’s no way Xu Xian is going to believe it. Right then, Fahai comes in. Oh no. I don’t like this. Well it’s to be expected that Xu Xian will know someday, it’s in the legend. Oh crap crap crap...

I’m just having one little problem with that. It’s like... Why does Fahai comes in and out of the story like that? I mean, he’s there for a few seconds in here and there. As if they don’t have time for his story? I don’t know, it does bother me a little because it lacks... hm, how do I say that? Consistency? I don’t know, it’s not continuous, I really lose track about what’s happening to him. I feel like there’s too many plot right now. I can see how they can be linked, but it’s still a little confusing.

As I thought, Minister Liang took his underling back. Well, at least he kind of takes care of his people. I can’t decide wether he’s just evil or if it’s only because he’s hurt since his kid died. I don’t know. But he’s probably at the very least a little bit evil.

Dragon boat festival is at the corner and Jiaorong is teaching Suzhen to make zongzi. Have you ever eaten zongzi? That is just one of the best things in the world. I especially like the ones with dates in it! Anyways, Suzhen notices that Jiaorong wraps the zongzi differently. She explains, it’s a different kind of zongzi and the name is actually homophones with like... a wish to have a son haha. They are thinking of Xu Xian and Suzhen getting a baby how cute. But why don’t they make one themselves first? Hahaha. Big sister is trying to play the matchmaker for Xiao Qing too. How cute. I love Xu Xian’s big sister.

Xiao Qing thus invites Yutang to drink and complains about how they are pushing her to get married, but Yutang suggest that they go to the temple and pray together haha. Poor Xiao Qing.

On their way to the temple, Minsiter Liang posted assassins to get rid of Xu Xian and Suzhen, but their car intercepts by accident a consort of high rank and since the lady heard of them, she was eager to actually meet them. They are all going to  the Guanyin temple and decide to travel all together. So the assassins have no choice but to retreat. All three of them wishes for a son.

Xiao Qing and Yutang get to the temple and  Yutang prays for a gentle spouse someday. Xiao Qing isn’t really interested and thinks it’s better to live a happy life free and by herself. At that temple, there’s a tree wrapped in red ribbon and it is said that if two people catch the same string, they are meant to be. It’s a little more complicated than that hm. It’s a kind of fate. Without it, no matter how hard you try, your couple won’t hold on the long run. Xiao Qing tries it and ends up pulling the same string as Yutang. Seeing that, she says that’s just bullshit and she decides it’s time to leave haha. Those two <3 Yutang keeps the red string.

So Ruyi tries to trap Fahai and seems to be quite successful at it. She pretends to be attacked by a demon and makes sure Fahai saves her. She then asks him for something to defeat demons because she’s scared. Well, she just want to take down Suzhen. Then, he gives her a hm... I don’t how to say this, like... the necklace thing with beads? It’s going to protect her from demons if she wears it and if a demon wears it, it won’t be able to use their powers.

Ruyi and Wang Daoling makes Suzhen use her powers which makes her pretty weak, especially since that period of the year is the worst for snakes. Xiao Qing scolds her for using her powers to heal somebody, but Suzhen thought that the poisoning was weird and that if she didn’t act, they would use this opportunity to bother again Xu Xian. Suzhen also tells Xiao Qing to go in hiding, since her cultivation is not high enough to maintain her human form, but she herself won’t go because she has a bad feeling that something would happen. No ): If she does that, she’s trapping herself and without Xiao Qing to help her... aoutch...

Ruyi pretends to be sick in front of Xu Xian’s house so she would get in. And then it works. Xu Xian believes in Ruyi and won’t listen to Suzhen who fears she still hasn’t given up. Well Xu Xian is  too naive. Suzhen is still feeling unwell and he worries that he has to leave her alone now that Xiao Qing is gone. Right then, Ruyi offers to take care of her, but Suzhen won’t agree because she’s a guest and sick. Then Ruyi offers her the beads from the monk, but of course, Suzhen can’t accept that... That girl.

But you know what, it’s really sad. Because even if she managed to harm Suzhen, she won’t even get what she wants and she will end up being the one who hurt so bad Xu Xian. Like... why does those girls never notice something so easy to understand. Maybe because I am the opposite and don’t go for what I want in life, so I to me it’s evident? I don’t know but gosh. Please, just stop.

And please, bring back Jin Song. We need him back. Because I liked him.

[dreamingsushi]

Legend of the White Snake - Episode 22

They both miss each other so much. Those two. Stop breaking my heart, please.

Xiao qing tries to cheat by using her powers to copy the books, but Fahai won’t let her.

Next morning, when Ruyi goes to see Xu Xian, she notices he fell asleep while looking at a portrait he made of Suzhen and she gets angry.

Xiao Qing is finally done with copying and gets angry about being called half immortal. She then says that Fahai actually doesn’t understand what is having fun and offers to take him experience it a little, but he’s... well he’s a monk, and a very strict one at that. That obviously wouldn’t be easy.

When Xu Xian goes back to his room, it’s only to find people moving his stuff away. Ruyi asked a fengshui master and he said to change everything in the room because it’s not proper for good luck. Then Jiaorong reminds him he has  to get married with Ruyi and that his previous wedding was shattered because they didn’t take care of arranging his room properly. Big sis then forces him to take Ruyi out for a walk and she won’t listen to him. This is so unfair for him. He doesn’t like Ruyi...

Hahahaha. Wow. Xiao Qing takes Fahai to drink. That’s so funny. He doesn’t want to drink it because to him alcohol is only changing someone’s behaviour wildly. But Xiao Qing tells him that if he wants to go around in this world, he needs to understand why people experience sadness and happiness. Actually, Xiao Qing is pretty smart. If he wants to take her back to read rites, he must first answer that question and she leaves him.

Xu Xian tells once again that he can’t marry Ruyi, because she’s just a little sister to him, there’s no feelings between a man and a woman. So he asks her to retreat from that wedding, but she won’t. And if he doesn’t want to help organizing the wedding because he’s too unwell, she’ll take care of everything with Jiaorong. Poor Xu Xian. Why is everybody working against his happiness?

While looking out for Xiao Qing, Suzhen ends up in the shop where Xu Xian bought for her the hairpin. Then Ruyi comes in asking about wedding pins. Poor Suzhen. Hearing that must be so painful. She knows that if Ruyi is getting married, it’s probably to no one else but Xu Xian. Ruyi then notices her and invites her to her wedding. Then just as Suzhen tries to leave, Xu Xian gets in and Suzhen rushes out. Xu Xian doesn’t care for Ruyi and runs after Suzhen.

It rains a lot in this drama. But actually, it does rain a lot in Hangzhou. That’s pretty convenient hehe. Seems like he couldn’t catch her and asks a boatman if he can take shelter from the rain in his boat. Boat in which Suzhen is already sitting. She’s about to congratulate him for his wedding, but he stops her. Because he doesn’t understand if they are going a separate path, why does everything he lays his eyes on reminds him of her. Awww. Cell memory. Your eyes remember how much you cherished her, but your brain can’t process the information. Poor darling. He doesn’t understand why she pushes him away. Since the rain stops, she leaves first, but he follows her.

Just right then, Xiao Qing is again running after Ruyi to kill her. Awww. Xiao Qing. From the beginning, you should have poisoned her <3 When Ruyi is about to reveal Suzhen’s real identity, she uses magic to silence her and takes her away for a private talk. She’s scaring Ruyi so bad hehehe.

Xiao Qing almost revealed everything to Xu Xian again, saying how much Suzhen sacrificed for him.

Suzhen threatens Ruyi that if she dares to hurt again Xu Xian, she’ll come and kill her. For now she doesn’t not because she’s scared of her, but because she doesn’t want to hurt Xu Xian’s feelings.

Yikes. They are really holding that wedding? I am so unhappy about that. Xu Xian too. He doesn’t wear his wedding clothes. He’s firm about it. He won’t marry her and his sister is saying on and on again how Ruyi took care of him when he was sick. He says that there are many ways of thanking someone, so why should he get married with her? Well if he doesn’t marry Ruyi, he should never call her his sister anymore. Here, I think she’s really selfish and doesn’t even care about his little brother’s happiness. I mean, what the point of being alive to be forced to live with someone he doesn’t like. He would never be happy.

Xiao Qing isn’t happy about that wedding so she starts a huge storm. When Ruyi falls down on the ground, Xu Xian helps her up and tells her to go home since the weather is so bad and he’s going to explain to everyone it’s his mistake. Ruyi is still acting like everything is going to go her way.

Fahai has a fight with Xiao Qing because she started the storm but this time he won’t spare her and he traps her inside his bowl.

Suzhen realizes Xiao Qing went to cause ruckus and rushes out to stop her.

Jiaorong comes out to see why Xu Xian hasn’t come back with Ruyi yet and she’s surprised that he’s not wearing his wedding clothes. Then he sees the umbrella she’s using and the engravings on it are the one he made for Suzhen. Is he going to finally remember?

And just when he remembers everything, he sees Suzhen in town. No matter how Ruyi and Jiaorong tries to stop him from going, he runs to Suzhen. Right then, Wang Daoling tries to kill Xu Xian twice, but Suzhen stops him. That’s just what you deserve Ruyi. Being humiliated like this for trying to impose that wedding. Now they won’t separate ever again. True love always win aww. I’m just so cheesy, I’m disgusting myself.

Fahai says Xiao Qing was killing people, so he’s taking her to Jinshan to cultivate. Then she asks him if he’s blind. She didn’t kill anyone, she just made the wind blow to ruin the wedding. He doesn’t believe her and then... HIS LOVE RIVAL COMES IN AND SAVES XIAO QING. I was starting to think it was a long time since we hadn’t seen Zhang Yutang. That’s a problem with this drama. New characters come in and disappear before coming back again. Anyways, he makes Fahai run away.

Xu Xian apologize to everybody for this aborted wedding, but he already has a wife and it’s Suzhen, he can’t marry Ruyi. Because of his illness, he did many stupid things. Ruyi and Jiaorong tries to convince him again, but he’s decided. He won’t marry Ruyi. Ruyi then suggests she becomes the wife and Suzhen becomes like... the second wife. Jiaorong asks Suzhen to be reasonable, but she answers that she won’t leave Xu Xian ever again. So Jiaorong then suggests that they both become wives, equally. Suzhen doesn’t say anything, but Xu Xian refuses. He can only love Suzhen. He would do anything to repay Ruyi, except marrying her.

Ruyi then gets angry and decides to tell everybody that Suzhen is a demon, but Xu Xian is like dudette, I know better than anyone who she is and she’s my only wife in this one and the next. Ruyi tries to kill Suzhen, but woops. She ends up stabbing Xu Xian. Finally, Jiaorong wakes up and sees Ruyi true face. So Ruyi promises that she’ll take revenge for that day.

Wow. Xu Xian lies to his big sis  to protect Suzhen. He tells her she wasn’t even there when she was hurt, because he sent her get something. But then she doesn’t understand why Suzhen never tried to explain herself. Xu Xian says he and Suzhen can still take care of Ruyi, but she probably won’t let them, so he asks his sister to help him with that.

[dreamingsushi]

Legend of the White Snake - Episode 35

Xu Xian has a vision of Ruyi coming to tell him she’s going to meet her father and he finds in his room the clothes he bought on the lantern festival. There’s also a letter in which she asks him to bury her next to her father. She trapped the inner demon in Wang Daoling’s core, but it will hold it only for seven days. Then Xu Xian wakes up really scared. So it was a dream? nope, the clothes are really there.

Xu Xian feels bad for what happened to Ruyi and blames himself that it came to this ending. Well actually, I think it’s a nice ending for her. She died doing the right thing and realized her wrongdoings. I can’t like her, but I still pity her. And I forgive her.

Fahai have a look at Suzhen and warns Xu Xian that being pregnant and still fighting like she did would harm her. She needs to retreat and start cultivating again to recuperate. Also Xu Xian doesn’t want to worry her about the demon core, but Fahai thinks they have to do something about it. Lately town’s people are afraid of them. It would be impossible in seven days to eradicate their ill feelings. So when the inner demon comes out again, it will feed on it. So Xu Xian asks how can they destroy it. The only way is for a pure heart to take it in and control it. I don’t like it. I feel like Xu Xian is going to sacrifice himself.... Yikes.

He promises her everything she says. He’s really going to do it. He’s going to sacrifice himself. I CAN’T AGREE WITH THAT. Can’t they just live happily together? Fahai, you put that thing to life, you take care of it and let those poor people lead a happy life. Find another stupid person  to sacrifice themselves. He asks her to wait for him when he dies, for the next life, since humans don’t live very long. He’s going to do it. He sends her right away to Emei. So she won’t know and won’t be able to stop him.

I am going to cry so much. He’s even sending Jiaorong, Gongfu and the baby to Emei. Wow. Stupid Xu Xian. I am already crying. If he dies, I swear...

Jiaorong and Gongfu thinks something is odd, so they go back to Ling’An...

I feel this is going to be stressful again. I am already feeling unwell.

Omg. I am crying so bad I can’t even see anymore. He’s doing this so people in town would think he’s the demon and then kill the inner demon thus Suzhen won’t be mistaken as a demon anymore. He does eat the core and looks in so much pain.

Oh no. It looks like it found a weakness in Xu Xian too. I can’t breath anymore since I am so sad.

Gongfu comes back home and they are happy to see him because they want him to catch the demon. And people says that the demon is Xu Xian. Gongfu really ends catching him and Xu Xian begs him to go and see Fahai.

At Emei, Suzhen is missing Xu Xian, so Xiao Qing suggests she just goes back and see him. Since Xiao Qing promises to not be lazy and keep cultivating, Suzhen decides to go back.

In town they post announcements that Xu Xian is a demon which angers so much Jiaorong. People seeing that she is Xu Xian’s sister, they want to kill her too. Gongfu comes right in time to protect her.

Suzhen gets back home, but Xu Xian’s not there. She finds Jiaorong praying and she begs her to go and save Xu Xian. People say he’s a demon.

Okay. I am still crying and my heart is pounding and I am feeling so very unwell but... how come demon-Xu Xian is so handsome? I never really thought Xu Xian was handsome from the very beginning but now.. Wow. Hello you. But please don’t die. Keep the look and stay alive. That’s all I ask. Or... even go back your old look, but just stay alive.

Suzhen asks to see Fahai and Xu Xian tells him to send her away. If he sees her, he might not be able to maintain his pure heart. No matter how, he really won’t see her one last time. Why is there no other way? He can’t die.

Fahai tries to send her away, but she won’t go. Finally Xu Xian comes to see her. I don’t want to see this. He pretends he wants to become a monk and sends her away. He still hides the truth from her. So Fahai is going to burn down Xu Xian.

Back at Emei, Xiao Qing sees Jing Song. Jing Song TT I thought he was completely dead. He tells her Suzhen is in danger and she must help her. Xu Xian took the inner demon in and that’s why Fahai is going to kill him. So Suzhen is using forbidden magic to save her husband. Jing Song. I found a way. Please, Xiao Qing, I hope you can be successful. So Xiao Qing goes to her father’s place. They owe her and it’s time they pay her back.

Suzhen turned dark too now. Xu Xian, that was a stupid, very stupid plan. How could you think that she would leave you behind. Xu Xian tries to tell this is what he wanted, but she won’t hear anything. This is way too stressful. Couldn’t they keep it like... easier? My poor heart...
