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!

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.

Legend of the White Snake - Episode 33

There’s already a problem and Ruyi hasn’t even come up yet lol. Suzhen is kind of trapped in an imaginary world where she takes of Xu Xian and the baby and wishes that it would stay like this forever... Xu Xian has to go in the dream and convince to come out, otherwise, they will both be in the same state and die. Almost nothing too dramatic here. Xu Xian still wants to go. Fahai agrees to send him in and gives him some rosary beads to protect him and keep him in touch with the real world. So he gets in the dream, which is a mix of West Lake and Emei mountains. He has just been there for like three seconds and he doesn’t want to leave either. This is going to be... hm... hard.

Oh crap. Crap big time, big big time. Xiao Qing is going crazy and is also possessed by inner demons. This is no good. Wow, my only hope now is Wang Daoling. However, I must say that Xiao Qing in black with a more mature hairstyle is gorgeous.

Fahai’s staff is starting to acting up because Xiao Qing has turn dark. It’s going to be a hard night.

Back in the dream, Suzhen won’t believe Xu Xian and he has to fight with a fake vision of himself.

Xiao Qing wrecks havoc in town and gets stopped by Gongfu. When she sees him, she looks so lost and runs away. I hope she doesn’t do anything to him and I hope he can save her. I love that character. Oh wow! It kicked out the inner demon! Li Gongfu, you’re so special! Please keep our Xiao Qing safe and out of that evil spirit.

Since there is danger in Ling’an, the four immortals sends Fahai take care of it, they will keep on helping Xu Xian and Suzhen while he’s gone. He  makes a barrier around them and  they shall not take one step out of it.

In town a lady has gone crazy and now Ruyi tells the town people that in the Nuwa temple, there is a demon snake. She gets everybody on her side and they all run to the Nuwa temple.

Okay, Xiao Qing is still corrupted and she’s asking the people she kidnapped to die for Suzhen. Please Fahai, save her now. I can only believe in you... But now that you left the temple... I am worried for Suzhen and Xu Xian since all the villagers are going to the Nuwa Temple. Oh thank god. What Fahai did made them invisible, people can’t see them. They press Xu Xian to go faster, but Suzhen isn’t really willing to trust him. Please, realize that this is your real husband... Meanwhile, Ruyi locks all the townspeople inside and she’s about to set fire to the temple. All the people inside get corrupted by the inner demon and starts to fight together. The immortals... They are stuck making a difficult choice. Xu Xian, faster so we can save everybody TT Why is this so hard to watch? I’m crying a river now... Suzhen pushes Xu Xian away after he let her stab her and said if she doesn’t come, he will stay with her in there too. She sends him back to his body. Please Suzhen, come out... Xu Xian blames himself for hurting her so much that she doesn’t want to come back to him.

Xu Xian begs them to bring the villagers in the protection too. They say that right now if anything happens, they won’t be able to bring Suzhen back, however Xu Xian pleads that they save everybody.

Fahai and Xiao Qing and fighting together. Then he sees fire coming from the temple and he realizes that he was forced out of the temple. It was all a trap ): 

The inner demon teaches Ruyi how to cultivate dark side. Or something like that. So she would be like the first demon, the one who lost her child.

Xu Xian says that if he and Suzhen can’t pass this trial, than that’s it, please let everybody in. He keeps hugging Suzhen next to his heart.

OH! SUZHEN! She’s starting to realize that’s a dream. She asks Xu Xian what date is it and he says it’s duanwu festival. Then she’s surprised that it’s a full moon. Thinking even a little bit more, it’s always the full moon, which makes no sense. Please Suzhen, come back. She realizes that this is the doing of the inner demon. Then he asks why she didn’t go bakc with that real Xu Xian? He says she has been doubting for a while and that she didn’t go because she didn’t want to. She feels so bad to have refused him when he risked his life to come and get her. Those two. She leaves. Suzhen TT 

Just right when the people come in, Suzhen’s human appearance is pale in Xu Xian’s arms. But they want to kill her now ): But at least Xu Xian is happy, his adored wife decided to believe him and came back to him. At least the four immortals protect them.

Outside, the inner demon got more powerful thanks to Ruyi. She looks way older also. Now, I am waiting for Wang Daoling to come to the rescue. I know you don’t like Xu Xian, but can’t you at least do it for Ruyi? I think he’s quite genuine towards her. The four immortals are almost down, they can’t hold much more longer.

Xu Xian expresses his regrets to Suzhen, saying that he’s sorry for not having took care of her. He begs her to open her eyes and talk to him. He doesn’t care if she’s angry at him, whatever she wants to say is fine as long as she wakes up. If she doesn’t.. well he’s going to join her in death.

SHE FINALLY OPENS HER EYES. They are so happy to have each other again. Suzhen can feel she retrieve like 80% of her powers. The immortals tell her the humans became murder instruments. She helps them maintain the barrier so they can relax a little bit and they altogether stop the fire and causes damage to the evil spirit whatever that smokey black thing is.

They wonder from where Suzhen got back her energy, she believes it’s because they retrieved her essence. Well I think that’s because she’s pregnant and the deities decided to help her. It would make more sense. Anyways.

Suzhen is going out to look for Xiao Qing with the four immortals. She begs Fahai to spare Xiao Qing and give her another chance. At first she’s happy to see Suzhen, but when she learns that she knew who the four immortals were, she’s angry again. So one of them decides to tell her the whole story. So basically, the Dragon King fell in love with Xiao Qing’s mother, but when she got pregnant, he was afraid of the punishment for having a relationship with a snake demon. So she kept hiding to give birth to Xiao Qing and after her birth, she kept moving everywhere so they wouldn’t be found. But she was found at last and she didn’t want to say with whom she had an affair and was willing to take all the blame. So they confined her under Leifeng pagoda. Oh. So they switched that from the original tale. Usually, the White Snake is trapped underneath and she gets released by the green snake. In some version, it’s because her son his so filial that she gets free. Interesting.

Well, Fahai wants to suppress Xiao Qing’s demon blood, but she doesn’t want to. She would rather die than to lose her mother’s blood. Also, Suzhen says that even so, she won’t be able to go back to the immortal realm, because her dad won’t recognize her as his daughter, he didn’t even want to give ten drops of blood to let her live her love. Since they won’t let him, Fahai traps Xiao Qing.

Why is he so obsessed with her immortal blood? Why can’t she be a demon anyways? Like you see, some demons are nicer than immortals.
