So, if you are in that category of people, do feel free to check out my Eternal Love Ten Miles Of Peach Blossoms review first. But if you have started watching and want to know what will happen next, I have written up the episode summary below to give you a full recap of the drama. Enjoy!

While they are discussing the matter, Bai Qian is again bullied by the man who had snatched her fan earlier at the market. He tells everyone that she has with her an evil black snake which should be torched.
Ye Hua transforms from the snake into a dragon to protect Bai Xian. Then he flies away as he needs to hide his identity. Yan Zhi and Golden Tiger witness the whole incident. Bai Qian is amazed that the snake she has been looking after is a dragon god. Su Jin is disappointed that Ye Hua does not care about her.
Ye Hua seeks advice from his third uncle regarding his feelings for Bai Qian. He suggests that Ye Hua plays the pity card to get close to her. So, Ye Hua pretends to be injured by a monster to get Bai Qian to look after him. As she has lost her memory and doesn’t know her own name, Ye Hua gives her the name of Su Su. He lives with her while he pretends to recuperate from his injuries.

Xuan Nu is unhappy that Li Jing still thinks of Si Yin after so many years.
Li Jing rushes to Mount Junji to look for Si Yin. Ye Hua meets him at the mountain and for a second, Li Jing thinks he is Mo Yuan until Ye Hua introduces himself.

Episode 15
Su Jin’s decision to be the Heavenly Lord’s consort is part of her plan to eventually marry Ye Hua. She is consort-in-name only as the Heavenly Lord only making use of the occasion to build up relationships with the different branch leaders. Su Jin requests the Heavenly Lord to order Ye Hua to accompany her to worship her ancestors. This would give the impression that the Celestial Palace places a high regard for her and would also allow Ye Hua to meet the branch leaders.
Xuan Nu gives the military seal to Yan Zhi to save Li Yuan. She does so because she wants Li Jing to realize that even his own sister could betray him and that makes her his only ally.

The Heavenly Lord also changes all of Ye Hua’s loyal maids in his palace which means he will have to be extra careful about being watched.
Su Jin uses the copper mirror to speak of her relationship with Ye Hua which causes Su Su to doubt Ye Hua’s love for her. Ye Hua knows that Su Jin is keeping his copper mirror and demands it back from her. Xuan Nu’s unborn child is sickly and the shaman advises her not to keep it. But she is adamant of conceiving the child as it is the only way to keep Li Jing by her side. She wants the shaman to use a magic cure so that she can have the child despite being told that the cure defies natural law and will invite retribution.
Preparing For War In The Far North
Ye Hua and his soldiers are not familiar with the terrain in the Far North. He has to get help from Bai Zhen for a topography of the area to prepare for war against Li Yuan. Bai Zhen grants him the favour as Ye Hua is his future brother-in-law. It is also a bargaining chip in case they need to cancel the wedding since Bai Qian is still missing.
Feng Jiu is following Dijun around in her fox form. She is unwilling to show herself as she feels shameful for being unable to repay her debt of gratitude. But Dijun knows about her presence and even allows her to kiss him while pretending to be drunk. Feng Jiu also visits Su Su at her residence as a fox and communicates with her because she looks like her aunt to her. The map promised by Bai Zhen is ready. Li Jing wants to settle an old score with Li Yuan and Ye Hua agrees to his request. Ye Hua is regretful that he has to make Su Su to constantly wait for him.

When Li Jing catches up with him, Li Yuan tries to kill his brother. Yan Zhi stands in front of Li Jing to prevent the brothers from fighting each other. But Golden Tiger runs in front of Yan Zhi at the last minute. Li Yuan’s sword pierces Golden Tiger and kills him instead. Li Jing then captures Li Yuan.
Su Su’s Sufferings
Ye Hua returns to Celestial Palace and the Heavenly Lord is pleased with the victory. He rewards Ye Hua by giving Su Jin to him as his side consort. Su Jin tricks Su Su to the Zhuxian Terrace. It is an ominous place with an opening that will send them back to where they came from. Nai Nai runs to inform Ye Hua. When Ye Hua appears, Su Jin jumps into the opening. Ye Hua grabs Su Jin out but she has lost her eyesight. She claims that Su Su has pushed her because the latter doesn’t like it that she will be Ye Hua’s side consort.
Ye Hua knows that he cannot insist on Su Su’s innocence in front of the Heavenly Lord in order to save her life. So, he suggests that Su Su’s eyes be given to Su Jin while he will suffer lightning bolts for 3 years as punishment on Su Su’s behalf since she is pregnant with his child. Su Su is devastated that Ye Hua takes away her eyesight when she is innocent while he is pained that he has to make her suffer knowing very well that she has been framed. Ye Hua realizes that Su Su will be killed by his grandfather eventually. So, he wants to get the Crown Prince seal as soon as possible so that he could openly make Su Su his consort. But this will entail taking further punishments before he can be declared fit for the position.

Ye Hua goes to inform Su Su but she is still hesitant over how to face him. On his investiture day, he will have to face powerful bolts of lightning. He orders Nai Nai not to tell Su Su to save her from worry.
Li Jing has Li Yuan imprisoned. He tells his brother that his father had treated all of them as tools to gain more power. If his children die, his power strengthens. So, saving their father from the Bell Of East Emperor will only mean they are going to get killed. Li Jing’s mother was banished by their father because she found out about his secret.

Xuan Nu’s child shouldn’t be allowed to live but she threatens the shaman to use taboo means to make sure the baby is alive.
Episode 25
Qing Cang could feel that Su Su is trying to break out from his seal while she is in labour. He screams that it is either he will die or Su Su will.

But she is cold towards Ye Hua because she knows it is time for her to leave him.
Xuan Nu delivers a sickly child and blames the shaman for feeding her abortion medicine. She orders the shaman to be beheaded.

Feng Jiu Told To Leave
Zhe Yan drops by to visit Dijun to clarify some matters. He learns the Feng Jiu has been hanging around the Celestial Palace. On his way out, he bumps into Su Su. It appears to Zhe Yan that she looks like Bai Qian. But Ye Hua introduces her as a mortal and that she belongs to him. Ye Hua also announces that he will take Su Su as his consort. Now that he is officially the Crown Prince, there is nothing that the Heavenly Lord can do. They could only hope that Bai Qian will be able to snatch his attention away from Su Su when the time comes. However, Su Su feels that Ye Hua could be marrying her out of pity. She asks Nai Nai to show her way to Zhuxian Terrace as she claims to like the flower scents along the way.
Zhi Yue locks up Feng Jiu in the Evil Sealing Pagoda as she has always been jealous of her. Dijun beats down the beast inside the pagoda to save Feng Jiu. But he is heavily injured in the process.

She communicates with Ye Hua through the copper mirror telling him that she will leave and that they owe nothing to each other. She also asks him to take care of their son, A Li. Ye Hua rushes to Zhuxian Terrace to see Su Su jumping into the opening. He jumps in after her.
Su Su ends up unconscious and injured at Peach Tree Woods. Dijun goes back to reseal Qing Cang as there are stirrings from within the Bell Of East Emperor.

She remembers who she is and she asks Zhe Yan for a medicine to make her forget her painful memories.
To make Ye Hua wake up from his coma, Dijun lets them know of an artefact called the Soul Gathering Lamp. But this belongs to Su Jin’s clan and has been buried with her mother.

Looking For Si Yin
Ye Hua wants to look for Si Yin. Since Si Yin has disappeared with Mo Yuan’s body, Ye Hua feels there might be a chance that Si Yin might know how to bring back a dead person. He wants to know the method to bring back Su Su. Ye Hua is told Feng Jiu might have an idea about Si Yin. He travels to Fox Den to ask Feng Jiu about it which surprises her. But Feng Jiu claims ignorance. Bai Qian finds out that she is now supposed to be married off to Ye Hua after Sang Ji broke off their engagement. She is reluctant to do so.
Su Jin is bestowed to Ye Hua. On their wedding day, Ye Hua pierces her once with his sword and refuses to let her into his palace. When the Jade Purity Fan in his possession suddenly vanished, he feels it might have gone back to its owner, Si Yin. Ye Hua goes to Kunlun Mountain to investigate. Bai Qian is also there to reminisce about old times. But they miss each other.
Ye Hua reports to the Heavenly Lord about the Jade Purity Fan and Si Yin. It is something that they have been investigating for 70,000 years in order to find Mo Yuan’s body. The Heavenly Lord also mentions to Ye Hua about Su Jin. Ye Hua knows he has to accept the imperial decree that Su Jin is his side consort. But he wouldn’t care where she stays as long as it is not at Zichen Palace or the Hall of Beautiful Youth, Su Su’s previous residence. Su Jin sends her maid to inform Ye Hua that she knows how to bring back Su Su.
Episode 28
Su Jin tells Ye Hua that he could create a new Su Su if he takes her belongings and burn it using the Soul Gathering Lamp. This will attract her breath and once enough of her breath has been collected, a mortal copy of Su Su will be created. In exchange for the information, Su Jin wants to move into Xiwu Palace. But she is still not allowed to step into Zichen Palace and come close to A Li. When Ye Hua burns Su Su’s clothes, it attracts peach blossom petals to fly to his palace.
300 years have passed. A Li is now a little boy. Ye Hua would bring him to Mount Junji for a few months every year. He is still pining for Su Su. It is Bai Qian’s birthday. Feng Jiu is wondering what to give to her aunt when Mi Gu suggests that she could try to wake Mo Yuan up. That would be the best gift for Bai Qian. But to do that, she would need the Soul Gathering Lamp which has been rumoured to have woken the Crown Prince up after the incident at Zhuxian Terrace.
Soul Gathering Lamp
Feng Jiu sneaks into Zichen Palace by transforming herself into Su Jin. She steals the Soul Gathering Lamp and causes the fire to extinguish. Ye Hua is at Mount Junji with his son. When he hears the lamp has been stolen, he rushes back to confront Su Jin. She pleads innocence. Ye Hua is devastated as the lamp is to re-create Su Su. Bai Qian is not impressed when she learns what Feng Jiu has done. She also tells her that the Soul Gathering Lamp won’t be able to help Mo Yuan because his soul has scattered. So, she orders her to return it.
Feng Jiu returns the lamp and claims she has only been curious about it. She doesn’t know Ye Hua has been using it to re-create Su Su. Ye Hua is depressed that the fire has been extinguished and mad at Feng Jiu. He even wants to burn his soul to reignite the lamp because that is the last thing that he has that belongs to Su Su. Lian Song stops him. He advises his nephew to let go as it has been 300 years and he has a son to take care of. He also tells Ye Hua to forgive Feng Jiu as her clan is not someone they can offend. They also shouldn’t incur Dijun’s wrath.
Su Jin is happy to hear that the Soul Gathering Lamp fire has been extinguished. She thinks that is the last thing that is holding back her relationship with Ye Hua. While Ye Hua is gone, A Li wanders around Mount Junji without his servants. A beast tries to attack him but he is saved by a woman who brings him back to the hut.

He also agrees to follow his father to Eastern Sea to attend a banquet.
Si Ming informs Feng Jiu that he has found a way for her to repay her debt of gratitude to Dijun. He brings her to the mortal realm and arranges for her to take on the identity of Lady Chen, one of the Emperor’s concubines. Dijun wants to experience trials for 60 years and is now the Emperor in the mortal world. Feng Jiu tries to see Dijun but faces obstacles from the Empress and other concubines.
Bai Qian is invited to attend a banquet by the Water King of Eastern Sea. It is to celebrate the birth of his son. Bai Qian often shuns such occasions but this time she makes an exception because the King’s family had helped her mother in the past. Shao Xing tries to see Bai Qian again at Qing Qiu to seek forgiveness. Mi Gu shoos her away.
Bai Qian stops by Peach Tree Woods on the way to Eastern Sea. She perches on a tree branch to enjoy Zhe Yan’s wine. Ye Hua also makes his way there to recall his times with Su Su. Miao Qing and and his brother try to cook up a plan for her to get close to Ye Hua during the banquet.

Sang Ji also turns up with Shao Xing.
A Li goes missing as he wanders around in the back garden. He is digging some grass when Bai Qian bumps into him. She lends him her Cloud Clearing Fan. But A Li causes the leaves covering the corrals to come loose. Bai Qian’s white silk covering immediately comes on to cover her eyes. A Li immediately sees her as his mother as she looks the same as the picture his father has drawn of Su Su. Ye Hua turns up and thinks she is Su Su. He tries to touch her but Bai Qian hits his hand away. Ye Hua immediately apologizes and thinks that he has made a mistake. He drags A Li away as his son calls Bai Qian as mother.
Identifying Su Su
When Shao Xing hears that Bai Qian is at the banquet, she seeks her out. Shao Xing wants to beg for forgiveness from Bai Qian for causing Sang Ji to break off his engagement with her. As they talk, Ye Hua observes from a distance. Bai Qian’s mannerisms are the same as Su Su’s. He also notices the scar on her hand that Su Su has got due to the fire while she was locked up at Celestial Palace. Ye Hua believes Bai Qian is Su Su.
Bai Qian gives her Cloud Clearing Fan back to Shao Xing. She tells her that she will grant her one last wish before their relationship as master and servant ends. A Li keeps insisting that Bai Qian follows him and his father back to Celestial Palace as he sees Bai Qian as his mother. Ye Hua drags Bai Qian to the banquet although she has wanted to leave without introducing herself.
After a dance by Miao Qing, Ye Hua is invited by the Water King to meet his sister in private. A Li then drags Bai Qian to gatecrash the meeting.

Bai Qian has said that Ye Hua is her love when trying to stop A Li from crying earlier. A Li was afraid that Bai Qian no longer loved him and his father. Ye Hua lets her leave as he now knows where to look for her. He also thinks it is time to seek answers from Zhe Yan.

He also leaves A Li at Qing Qiu with Mi Gu. When Ye Hua returns to his palace, he burns Bai Qian’s silk covering that she has dropped at Eastern Sea with the Soul Gathering Lamp. The flame turns green which is Su Su’s favorite color.
Ye Hua is now convinced Bai Qian is Su Su. He tells his third uncle but asks him to keep it a secret for now. There are still 2 things Ye Hua has not figured out – why Bai Qian has no celestial aura when she was at Mount Junji and why has she forgotten him. He wants to ask Dijun but the latter is now in the mortal realm. Feng Jiu is again stopped by other concubines from serving Dijun. So, she appears in Dijun’s dream instead to ask for his wish. She learns that he is seeking for someone’s love.
After escaping from Eastern Sea, Bai Qian meets Li Jing. He is seeking pleasure with a woman in a cave. Li Jing knows she is Si Yin. He tells her that he has been looking for her for 70,000 years and that he regrets betraying her. Bai Qian informs him her true identity. She also advises Li Jing to let go of the past. She has no more feelings towards the incident. Bai Qian goes back to Qing Qiu to find A Li there. She brings him to the market to shop for food. Ye Hua turns up to join them. They bought meat but Mi Gu has no idea how to cook it.

Ye Hua ends up cooking for them as they used to do in Mount Junji. But Bai Qian has no recollection of any of those events and that she used to be his wife. With Ye Hua practically living in Qing Qiu, Bai Qian is worried that he may find Mo Yuan’s body. So, she sealed up the cave that the body is in. She also throws her Jade Purity Fan to the bottom of the lake as that could connect her to Si Yin.
Die Feng and his 16th disciple brother have not given up looking for Si Yin. The disciple brother wants to return to Kunlun Mountain to prepare it for their master’s return. Both of them then face attacks by demonic figures controlled by the Ghost Realm.
Su Jin’s Dissatisfaction
Su Jin is jealous and angry when she learns that Ye Hua is getting bewitched by Bai Qian. She orders her maid to go to Qing Qiu to remind Bai Qian that she has not officially married the Crown Prince. Hence, they shouldn’t spend so much time with each other as the Celestial Tribe needs to follow rules and etiquettes. Miao Qing has also been accepted as maid in Xiwu Palace. Ye Hua grants her that wish for saving A Li. Su Jin tells Miao Qing that she will help her to be Ye Hua’s side consort as she is more than qualified being a princess.
Su Jin’s maid runs to Qing Qiu as insructed. But Mi Gu and the rest of the people chase her off. Bai Qian suggests to Ye Hua that what Su Jin has said makes sense and that he should return to the palace. But Ye Hua couldn’t be bothered. He also explains Miao Qing presence as a maid in his palace. Su Jin is livid when her maid returns to tell her that Bai Qian has disrespected her. She calms down when reminded that it is the Heavenly Lord’s birthday and that Sang Ji’s eldest son, Yuan Zhen, will be making an appearance.
Ye Hua brings Bai Qian to the Far East with A Li. It is A Li’s birthday. A sudden scare by a carriage causes Bai Qian to have a brief recollection of the past.

Framing Yuan Zhen
Su Jin leads Yuan Zhen to her quarters and makes him fall unconscious. Then she claims that Yuan Zhen has molested her while he is drunk and is willing to hang herself for having been defiled. The Heavenly Lord is angry with Yuan Zhen and orders for him to be sent to the mortal realm for 60 years.
However, Ye Hua can see through her lies because she has also done the same thing to Su Su in the past. He tells her that he has kept her alive because she has given him the Soul Gathering Lamp. Furthermore, she is having Su Su’s eyes. Ye Hua warns Su Jin that he will show her no mercy if she persists with her evil plans and that she means nothing to him. He also informs his third uncle that Yuan Zhen’s case is Su Jin’s doing. When his uncle asks him why he is not bringing Bai Qian to the Celestial Palace, he tells him that he wants to start all over to slowly earn Bai Qian’s affections. It is better that way as the palace only holds painful memories for Bai Qian and it is best that they are forgotten.
Dijun finally visits Feng Jiu after 2 years. He confides in her that his favorite noble consort has left him to become a nun years ago and brought along their son, Yuan Zhen. Dijun also admits that Feng Jiu’s flower on her forehead seems familiar and he is drawn to it. Ye Hua returns to Qing Qiu.

Then he arranges for Bai Qian to go to the mortal realm as Yuan Zhen’s Taoist tutor. But he warns her that she must seal her celestial powers while in the mortal realm because changing a mortal’s fate using her powers will eventually rebound on her.
Miao Qing overhears the conversation between Ye Hua and Si Ming. She reports to Su Jin who asks her to go on a trip to the mortal realm.

This curse will allow her to be affectionate towards Dijun during the day.
Bai Qian asks her to push Dijun into the water during a certain day of the month to change Yuan Zhen’s fate. But Bai Qian is unsure if she could do it. Eventually, Bai Qian manages to convince Sang Ji to carry out the task when the day comes after discussion with Shao Xing. After all, Yuan Zhen is his son. Zhe Yan is asked by Bai Zhen to try to cure the Water King of West Sea’s eldest son who has been sickly. Zhe Yan finds his illness to be strange and asks for some time to think over the cure.

When the time comes, Feng Jiu will next trample on his heart as advised by Si Ming. So, Feng Jiu goes ahead and marries Dijun when he asks her to do so. Ye Hua can see that Si Ming has more to hide and confronts him the next day. Si Ming explains that the reason Dijun went to the mortal world is to repay a debt of love to Feng Jiu. She was in love with Dijun while they were in the Celestial Palace but their relationship was not fated to be. So, Dijun will give Feng Jiu his love in his mortal life instead.

Bai Qian summons her Jade Purity Fan from the bottom of the lake and rushes to Ghost Realm.

However, Zhe Yan does not know what Bai Qian wanted to forget when she asked him for the amnesia potion. Ye Hua has the thought that perhaps Bai Qian wanted to forget him because of Mo Yuan and that their love was just a trial for her to gain ascension to Higher Goddess and nothing more.
Xuan Nu kills a prison guard and escapes from her cell. Li Yuan asks her to kill him because that will increase his father’s strength to enable him to break out from the Bell Of East Emperor. Qing Cang had put a curse on his children and each of their death will increase his power by a third. So, he tells Xuan Nu to go and look for Yan Zhi in the mortal realm and kill her as well.

However, Dijun is in the mortal realm and will only be back in 20 days. In the mortal world, Dijun’s relationship with Feng Jiu is going strong. He has totally fallen for her. Si Ming visits Feng Jiu and tells her it is time to break his heart next. Zi Lan is roaming the mortal realm too to look for Si Yin. Instead he comes across Yan Zhi who pretends to be mute and is now the owner of an eatery. Zi Lan tries to get close to her because it might provide clues to Si Yin’s whereabouts.
Bai Qian meets Li Jing who is still waiting for her at Qing Qiu’s entrance when she is on her way to Celestial Palace with Ye Hua. Li Jing offers her the Soul Jade which she once asked for. But Bai Qian informs him that she no longer has a need for it as Mo Yuan’s body can now be preserved without her heart’s blood. She admits to Li Jing that he was her first love. But Li Jing has hurt and disappointed her back then.
Episode 39
Li Jing explains that he withheld the Soul Jade because he was envious. He knew Bai Qian wanted to use it to preserve Mo Yuan’s body. If he had known she was using her own blood from her heart to do so, he would have lent it to her then. Li Jing further says that he has never forgotten her and pleads for her forgiveness. But Bai Qian tells him that it is too late and they could never return to the past. Her heartbreak over him was long over and they could only be acquaintances from now on.
Zhe Yan visits Mo Yuan’s body. Then, he leaves Qing Qiu as he claims he needs to head back to Peach Tree Woods to look through his medical texts to save the eldest prince of West Sea.

Ye Hua brings Bai Qian to tour his Xiwu Palace. He also brings her to the Hall of Beautiful Youth and introduces her to Nai Nai. The maid is shocked to see Bai Qian as she looks exactly like Su Su that even A Li calls her mother. Su Jin feels threatened when she hears that Bai Qian has been allowed to step into Su Su’s former residence when no one has been permitted to for 300 years. It could only signify Bai Qian’s importance to Ye Hua. Hence, Su Jin convinces Miao Qing to drug Ye Hua’s soup with a seduction potion to make him sleep with her. Once he has done so, he will have to marry Miao Qing.
Plan Fails
Ye Hua leaves Bai Qian at the Heaven’s Spring for her to soak in while he goes back to his study to write a poem on her fan. In his mind, he is willing to wait for Bai Qian to forget Mo Yuan and make her fall in love with him. Miao Qing then comes into his study to bring him the drugged soup. Ye Hua could see through Miao Qing’s plan. He questions her about her role in pushing Bai Qian into the water in the mortal realm earlier. Ye Hua also wants answers on the drugged soup. Just then, Su Jin barges in to plead on Miao Qing’s behalf.

Zi Lan is wary of Xuan Nu and eavesdrops on her conversation with Yan Zhi.
Si Ming tells Feng Jiu that it is time to betray Dijun. The script on Dijun’s fate has been prepared. Feng Jiu has to make Dijun hate women and be utterly disappointed. Then Feng Jiu would have fulfilled her mission. But Feng Jiu couldn’t bring herself to hurt Dijun. She asks Si Ming for an additional 2 years before she carries out the betrayal.

Yan Zhi tries to stop her as the method is taboo. She convinces Xuan Nu that they look for the divine fungal grass instead as it can also save her baby. Xuan Nu doesn’t know whether she could trust Yan Zhi. But Zi Lan is also watching her and she has to halt her plan. Xuan Nu resolves that she will have to kill Yan Zhi as that is the only way for Qing Cang to unseal himself from inside the bell and she will then get her revenge. Yan Zhi uses her powers to save Feng Jiu. Dijun is relieved and his love for her grows.

Mo Yuan’s Soul
Zhe Yan discovers that the reason why the eldest prince of West Sea is unconscious is because his body is also holding Mo Yuan’s scattered soul. For the last 70,000 years, he has been slowly piecing back together fragments of his soul in the prince’s body. He tells Bai Zhen that they should inform Bai Qian that her master is waking up soon. As Mo Yuan gets stronger, his sword in Kunlun Mountain also breaks out from its box. At the same time, Ye Hua feels weak and pain in his heart while Bai Qian has a dream of the battle 70,000 years ago when Mo Yuan seals Qing Cang in the Bell Of East Emperor.
As Ye Hua is now Bai Qian’s fiancee, Zhe Yan informs him first about the possibility of Mo Yuan waking up. It would take another 7,000 to 8,000 years before he would return to his immortal body. Due to Bai Qian’s close relationship with Mo Yuan, Ye Hua has a right to know. Ye Hua is sad about losing Bai Qian but he asks Zhe Yan if Mo Yuan could wake up sooner because that is what she would want. Zhen Yan replies that he would need his Soul Gathering Lamp to revive Mo Yuan’s soul.
Learning More About Su Su
Su Jin pays her salutations to Bai Qian. She tells her about A Li’s mother and Ye Hua’s devotion to her as well as how Bai Qian looks exactly like Su Su. Bai Qian can see her true intention and makes things hard for her. After Su Jin leaves, Bai Qian asks Nai Nai about Su Su. Nai Nai relates what Su Jin has done to Su Su in the past including the lost of her eyesight. Zhe Yan drops by to inform Bai Qian about Mo Yuan’s case. Bai Qian is hopeful and moved to tears as this has been something she has cared about for 70,000 years. She leaves behind a letter to thank Ye Hua for his hospitality in Xiwu Palace before rushing off with Zhe Yan.
Zhi Yue throws a tantrum as she wants to go to the mortal realm to endure the heavenly trials with Dijun. Ye Hua permits her to do so since she is so adamant about it.

It happened when Yuan Zhen brought out the Cloud Clearing Fan given by Bai Qian when she was tutoring him. As it is a magical fan, the powers caused them to stumble.

But Dijun can still remember the mortal love he had with Feng Jiu.
Dijun Knows All Along
Ye Hua goes to ask Dijun about the divine fungal grass. Dijun tells him that one has to fight the beasts to obtain it and few could defeat them. He knows that Ye Hua is asking because of Mo Yuan’s case. He also knows that Bai Qian is Si Yin. Having undergone his mortal experience, he now understands the devotion Bai Qian has for Mo Yuan. He tells Ye Hua that he has kept quiet all this while because being with Si Yin is probably what Mo Yuan had wanted rather being buried in the Sea of Innocence.
Zhe Yan brings Bai Qian to see the West Sea sickly prince. Nobody has been able to cure him thus far. Bai Qian could see her master’s body at the Kunlun Mountain pond when she treats the prince which confirms that his soul is residing in the prince’s body. She wants to head to the Celestial Palace to get the Soul Gathering Lamp. But Ye Hua has already brought it to West Sea.
Wishful Thinking
When Bai Qian meets Ye Hua, she is still angry over the quarrel they had over A Li. She wants to leave but Ye Hua pushes her against the wall and forces a kiss until he notices her scar that has arose due to the need to obtain blood from her heart to preserve Mo Yuan’s body. Bai Qian slaps him.
Ye Hua sadly tells Bai Qian that he knows she has waited 70,000 years for Mo Yuan’s return and it is only his wishful thinking that she would have any feelings for him. He also knows that she will need the Soul Gathering Lamp. Ye Hua is disappointed that Bai Qian is even willing to sacrifice her life to obtain the divine fungal grass which is needed to wake Mo Yuan up. Then she will transfer half of her cultivation to Mo Yuan as that will enable him to wake up after 3 to 4 months.
Bai Qian suggests to Ye Hua that they should break off their engagement. If she marries him, she will have to endure the blazes and thunderbolts tests together with him during his coronation when he succeeds his grandfather as the Heavenly Lord. But Bai Qian wouldn’t be able to withstand the tests if she transfers part of her cultivation to Mo Yuan. Furthermore, their engagement was just an accident due to Sang Ji’s actions. Ye Hua then tells Bai Qian to collect the lamp from his room that night.
Episode 44
Bai Zhen drops by to visit Bai Qian to find her feeling out of place. She opens up to her 4th brother about Ye Hua and his confession to her. Bai Zhen thinks that she is just jealous during her stay at the Celestial Palace and that she has actually fallen for Ye Hua. Dijun is curious as to why his mortal life has been cut short by 18 years. Si Ming guesses that it could be due to Dijun being unlike other deities and hence, experiences heavenly trials differently. But some of his powers have been lost after his return and he tells Si Ming to keep it a secret.
Feng Jiu is back at Qing Qiu. She cannot get Dijun out of her mind and keeps wondering if her relationship with Dijun is more than just repayment of kindness.

He sends Feng Jiu to West Sea to accompany Bai Qian so as to get her away from her angry father. Yuan Zhen turns up to meet her as he is also back early from his heavenly trials.

Feng Jiu assures him that she had done it as a heavenly trial for Dijun and nothing else.
Ye Hua’s Sacrifice
Mo Yuan’s disciples have gathered again at Kunlun Mountain as the divine energy can be felt again. Bai Qian goes to Ye Hua’s room to get the Soul Gathering Lamp. She asks him how she could repay his kindness. Ye Hua answers that all he has ever wanted is her. Bai Qian allows Ye Hua to carry her to his bed. They spend the night together. As they kiss, Bai Qian feels a sense of familiarity as snippets of their time in Mount Junji register on her consciousness. Later, Ye Hua is wistful as this could be the last time that he will get to be with Bai Qian. He also asks her what she would do if one day, her eyes have been taken out by him. She replies that it would be over between them should that happens.
Bai Qian dreams about her time at Mount Junji again which woke her up. She looks for Ye Hua but he has left. Feng Jiu arrives to keep Bai Qian company. Bai Qian finally comes face to face with Die Feng and lets him know that she is Si Yin. Ye Hua seeks permission from the Heavenly Lord to go to Yingzhou on the pretext of destroying the divine fungal grass which is a malicious magical plant that has caused trouble. The Heavenly Lord agrees. If Ye Hua comes back victorious against the beasts that guard the plant, it will also be a good time for him to succeed the throne. Ye Hua’s real intention is to get the grass for Bai Qian. He orders his officers not to let anyone near Yingzhou should he fails to return after 3 days, especially Bai Qian.

Xuan Nu is desperate for the magical plant and follows behind them. The beasts attack Yan Zhi and Zi Lan. Li Jing and his men arrive and fend off the beasts to pull Yan Zhi out of danger. Zi Lan helps Yan Zhi out of the cave. Li Jing tries to get Xuan Nu to leave but she insists on getting the divine fungal grass.
Ye Hua Is Injured
Ye Hua appears then. He manages to subdue the beasts to get the grass. Then, he goes ahead to destroy the rest. Xuan Nu realizes what Ye Hua is doing and tries to attack him with a sword. This gives a chance for one of the beasts to rip off his arm and hits Xuan Nu. Ye Hua throws his sword at the beast to take it down. Then, he proceeds to destroy everything. Outside the cave, Yan Zhi pleads with Ye Hua to give her a sliver of the plant that he has to save Xuan Nu’s child. Ye Hua relents.
Xuan Nu dies from her injuries. Li Jing advises Ye Hua that he cannot awaken Mo Yuan because doing so will enable Qing Cang to break out from the Bell Of East Emperor. Mo Yuan has used his spirit to seal the bell and hence, if his spirit is revived, it will be dangerous for all of them. Qing Cang has also become more powerful with the death of Li Yuan and it won’t be long for him to break the seal once Mo Yuan’s spirit vanished. Hence, would Ye Hua then uses his spirit to seal the bell again? It would be a decision that Ye Hua would need to make.
Zi Lan has to make his way back to Kunlun Mountain. With that, Zi Lan and Yan Zhi part ways. The West Sea prince awakes with the help of the Soul Gathering Lamp.

Feng Jiu goes back to the place where she had saved Dijun in the mortal world. She sees Dijun there. She reminds him that she had risked her life willingly for him. But Dijun tells her that everything must come to an end and it is part of his trials.
Ye Hua wakes up to find that Zhe Yan has fixed him a wooden arm. He asks Zhe Yan to send the divine fungal grass elixir to Bai Qian but not to mention his name. Ye Hua doesn’t want Bai Qian to feel that she owes him. So, Zhe Yan mentions that he obtains the elixir himself when he gives it to Bai Qian. The Heavenly Lord is informed that Ye Hua has defeated the beasts and destroyed the plant but he has used up all his powers in the process. Ye Hua also falls unconscious after getting back to the Celestial Palace.
The Elixir
The elixir is given to the West Sea prince. The power is too strong for his frail body and he falls asleep. They will now need to wait for him to wake up.

She knows Zi Lan has been trailing her. Yan Zhi also offers to use up her cultivation to save Li Jing’s baby since Ye Hua has given them some og the divine fungal grass.
Mi Gu goes to see Li Jing as instructed by Zhe Yan to borrow the Soul Jade. It should be deemed as a repayment of favour to Ye Hua for saving his life during the battle with the beasts at Yingzhou. Mi Gu then takes the jade to Bai Qian as it would help to counter the effects of the strong elixir the prince had consumed to enable him to wake up sooner. Bai Qian is curious when Ye Hua had saved Li Jing before.
Episode 47
Zhe Yan is summoned by the Heavenly Lord to treat Ye Hua. He learns that Ye Hua has used up all of his cultivation to create the elixir for the West Sea prince.

She identifies it as Ye Hua’s aura. Hence, she now knows that the elixir is not created by Zhe Yan but Ye Hua.
Bai Qian Learns The Truth
Bai Qian then rushes to Xiwu Palace to check on Ye Hua. She knows he must be severely injured because it is not easy to defeat the 4 beasts that guard over the divine fungal grass. But Ye Hua pretends that he is fine with only minor injuries. Bai Qian knows he is pretending to avoid making her feel bad. Since he is determined not to let her know, Bai Qian takes her leave and goes to ask Zhe Yan instead. Zhe Yan tells her the truth about how Ye Hua had planned everything and the extent of his injuries.
Bai Qian couldn’t bear to know how much Ye Hua had sacrificed for her. She goes back to Xiwu Palace and ends up accompanying him for the night. There are signs that Qing Cang will be back soon. Yan Zhi is unable to complete the creation of the elixir for her nephew. She needs to borrow the elixir cauldron at the Kunlun Mountain to do that. But Li Jing tells her to give up as there is no way Mo Yuan’s disciples will lend her the cauldron. So, she quietly leaves with Li Jing’s baby.
Su Jin hears that Bai Qian has spent the night with Ye Hua at his residence. She knows that Bai Qian’s weakness is her love for Ye Hua.

So, Ye Hua instructs his officer to keep an eye on the bell and to report only to him should there be any abnormalities.
Su Jin hears from the palace maid that Bai Qian is adding something to Ye Hua’s tea. She goes to Ye Hua’s mother and plants doubts in her mind about Bai Qian. Le Xu then pays a visit to the couple and raises her suspicions about the tea Ye Hua is drinking. But she finds out from him that it is just some nourishing elixir that Bai Qian had obtained from Zhe Yan. Le Xu is relieved and is open to moving forward their wedding. The Heavenly Lord is informed. But while they make preparations for the wedding, Ye Hua also has to go to the mortal realm for a trial because he had destroyed the Chingzhou’s beasts which is the Heavenly Father’s creation.

Mo Yuan enquires whether a man who resembles him has appeared. Bai Qian informs him there is and he is her fiancee.
Mo Yuan explains that he is his twin brother. His mother was supposed to give brith to twin sons but almost suffered a miscarriage. Only the eldest, Mo Yuan, was successfully delivered. His father used up half of his powers to turn the second twin into a celestial fetus in the form of a golden lotus. Mo Yuan was instructed to take care of it and hopefully, the fetus will be revived one day. It was finally awakened after Mo Yuan sacrificed his spirit to seal up the Bell Of East Emperor. Mo Yuan wants to meet Ye Hua. But Bai Qian informs him that Ye Hua has gone to the mortal realm.

Since he couldn’t meet Ye Hua, Yan Zhi suggests that he should visit Mo Yuan and let him know about Qing Cang.

She also admits that she used to think that she would live in Kunlun Mountain forever but that was before she met Ye Hua. When Mo Yuan asks her whether she knows why he had worked so hard for 70,000 years to return, she thinks it is because he did for all his disciples he cared about. A Li visits Bai Qian at Kunlun Mountain and everyone then knows she is now a mother.
Feng Jiu’s Pain
Feng Jiu is heartbroken and refuses to be Qing Qiu’s Queen. But Mi Gu feels that she should take up the position because that will give her more opportunities to go to 9 Heavens to discuss official matters. Then, she will be able to meet Dijun. Feng Jiu thinks Mi Gu’s advice makes sense. Si Ming brings Feng Jiu an ancient record from the Celestial Palace. In it, Dijun’s name has been removed from the Rock of Three Incarnations which registers destined marriages. So, any romance that Dijun will have would be ill-fated. His decision to go to the mortal world was a chance for him to offer love to Feng Jiu. According to Si Ming, Dijun is not as cold as he appears to be.
Feng Jiu rushes to see Dijun after hearing from Si Ming. She asks him about the Rock of Three Incarnations. Dijun confirms that his name is not on it and he will not have any relationships with anyone. Feng Jiu cannot accept the fact. She cuts her fox tail as it could be transformed into a magic artifact at will. She wants to use it to carve his name on the rock. Feng Jiu rushes to the Rock of Three Incarnations. Dijun’s name couldn’t be found on it. Instead her name is listed as married to someone else. She tries to change it but couldn’t. In the end, she falls unconscious due to her injury.

Su Jin appears to emphasize to Bai Qian that the person Ye Hua ever loved is Su Su. That is why he has an impression of her even if he is now a mortal with no recollection of the past. Su Jin is confident that Bai Qian would leave Ye Hua sooner or later.
Bai Qian returns to Peach Tree Woods feeling doubtful and sad. She begins to feel that Ye Hua might be seeing her as a substitute for Su Su and starts drinking. Although Bai Qian knows she shouldn’t concerned herself with a dead woman, she believes that the person Ye Hua has in his mind is Su Su and not her.
Episode 54
Feng Jiu tries to advise Bai Qian and they talk about breaking off the engagement if Ye Hua loves Bai Qian only because she resembles Su Su. Bai Qian continues to drink in her room and shoos Feng Jiu away. When she tries to shut off all the lamp lights in her drunken state, she knocks over the Soul Gathering Lamp which breaks into pieces. The remnants of Su Su that have been accumulated inside the lamp scatter out and then get absorbed back into Bai Qian. As a result, Bai Qian recovers her memories and realizes she is Su Su. She also feels all the hardships and pain she had endured as Su Su while at Celestial Palace.
Gaining Revenge
Bai Qian questions Feng Jiu who has visited her as a fox at the Hall of Beautiful Youth. Their stories tally with each other and Bai Qian informs Feng Jiu that she is Su Su. It was her heavenly trial before her ascension as a High God. Bai Qian decides she should get back her eyes from Su Jin. She rushes to Xiwu Palace with Feng Jiu trailing behind. But Feng Jiu is stopped at the entrance from entering the 9 Heavens. Bai Qian seeks out Su Jin and demands back her eyes. She carves it out of her when Su Jin refuses to do so herself. As for framing her for the Zhuxian Terrace incident, Bai Qian gives Su Jin a choice of jumping into the opening or volunteering to guard the Bell Of East Emperor at Ruoshui Riverbank before she leaves.
Ye Hua Returns
Bai Qian feels she can’t marry Ye Hua anymore as she recalls the pain she endured no matter the reason for him to do what he did. Su Jin demands to see the Heavenly Lord to complain about what Bai Qian did to her. Dijun and Si Ming notices Feng Jiu at the entrance of 9 Heavens and she quickly tells them what has happened. Feng Jiu is let in and rushes over to argue with Su Jin who is still twisting the facts to accuse Bai Qian. At the same time, Ye Hua completes his trial in the mortal realm and wakes up at Kunlun Mountain. Mo Yuan relates to Ye Hua his background. While Ye Hua is still in the golden lotus form, Bai Qian used to look after him while she was a disciple there. Mo Yuan mentions that perhaps their romance is fated.
Dijun offers to hear Su Jin’s case as both sides are giving conflicting account of the events. The Heavenly Lord and both parties agree for Dijun to give them a fair hearing.
Episode 55
Ye Hua returns to the Celestial Palace to find out that Bai Qian has recovered her memories as Su Su. But he is pressed to attend to Su Jin’s case. Ye Hua requests for Yuan Zhen and the Su Su figurine to be brought to the hearing. When the truth is exposed about Su Jin framing Yuan Zhen for molestation as well as her indulgence in witchcraft, Dijun suggests that they shouldn’t go any further. If they start discussing Bai Qian’s case, Dijun feels that Qing Qiu might end up holding a grudge against them. As it is, Su Jin’s crimes is enough to land her a heavy punishment. The Heavenly Lord decrees that Su Jin would be sent to guard the Bell Of East Emperor.
Feng Jiu takes the opportunity to ask Dijun a hypothetical question that if he didn’t remove his name from the Rock of Three Incarnations, would he have fallen in love with her. He refuses to answer. Feng Jiu then says she will follow him around until he gives her an answer.
Lover’s Misunderstanding
Ye Hua goes to look for Bai Qian at Qing Qiu. But Bai Qian refuses to see him. Ye Hua remains at the entrance and refuses to budge even after 7 days come rain or shine. In her room, Bai Qian is also feeling miserable as she drinks continuously. She questions the real reason Ye Hua married her 300 years ago. Was it because he was betrayed by Su Jin when she became the Heavenly Lord’s side consort? She also doubts how much love he has for her and if his devotion after Su Su died is due to guilt. Bai Qian is afraid of the answers.
Qing Cang’s Spirit
Li Jing uses his powers and blood to summon Qing Cang’s spirit from the bell. The increased activity in Ruoshui Riverbank attracts attention. Dijun goes over to take a look with Feng Jiu following him. With his loss of powers, Dijun is unable to check what is going on inside the bell. He orders for Zhe Yan to be summoned as they need someone with soul tracking skills. Feng Jiu offers to do it. She could feel Qing Cang’s spirit is no longer inside the bell. Li Jing has successfully summoned it back to Ghost Realm. While Qing Cang’s spirit cannot hurt Li Jing, his weapon is able to do so as they fight it out.
Episode 56
Li Jing is killed by Qing Cang and he adds more cultivation power to his body. Feng Jiu is flung away from the bell and is injured. Dijun asks Mo Yuan to be summoned to seal up the bell but changes his mind and asks for Bai Qian instead as Qing Qiu to nearer to Ruoshui Riverbank. Dijun wants Feng Jiu to return to Qing Qiu for safety reasons but she refuses. She insists on being with Dijun in life and death. Si Ming goes to Qing Qiu to get Bai Qian’s help. Ye Hua follows them to Ruoshui Riverbank.
Final Battle
Su Jin who is supposed to guard the bell timidly runs away from her duties as trouble looms. Bai Qian wants to fight it out with Qing Cang but Ye Hua pulls her back and refrains her. Ye Hua takes on the responsibility instead. He battles it out with Qing Cang in the sky. Eventually, Qing Cang is defeated. But Qing Cang has connected his life to the bell. If he is dead, the bell would kill everyone in sight. As Qing Cang collapses and dies, the bell opens and sucks everyone up. Ye Hua flies up and offers his spirit to close up the bell. As he floats back down, he dies in Bai Qian’s arms.
Bai Qian is devastated and cannot be consoled. She doesn’t want to let go of his body and thinks she could do the same as she had done to Mo Yuan’s body earlier. Bai Qian then takes Ye Hua’s body back to Qing Qiu. She refuses to give his body back to the Celestial Tribe when asked to do so. Su Jin is banished from the 9 Heavens and stripped of her celestial status for eternity by the Heavenly Lord for running away from duty. Dijun and Ye Hua’s parents make a trip to Qing Qiu to demand for his body. Le Xu tells Bai Qian that her son had suffered enough because of her and she has no right to hang on to his corpse. They want to have him buried in the Sea of Innocence.
Episode 57
Bai Qian agrees to release Ye Hua’s body. Before she does so, she speaks privately to him and tells him that she can’t keep him in Qing Qiu as promised as that would create problems between their 2 tribes. She also says that she has forgiven him and that her heart had softened when he waited at her entrance for days to see her. With that, she gives Ye Hua one last kiss. Ye Hua’s body is put into a crystal coffin and carried off. Bai Qian’s request to attend his burial is turned down as the place is a sacred ground of the Celestial Tribe.
Feng Jiu finally gets her answer from Dijun on her hypothetical question. Dijun tells her that he would have loved her if he didn’t remove his name from destined marriages. Then, he turns around and leaves. Bai Qian keeps grieving over the Ye Hua’s death. She dreams about him often and in her dreams, they would be talking to each other. In one dream, Ye Hua is telling her about Su Jin and that he never had any feelings for her. Bai Qian has also erected a cenotaph in Ye Hua’s memory and would talk to him there. She tells him to come to her dream often.
3 Years Have Passed
3 years later, Feng Jiu succeeds Bai Qian as the Queen of Qing Qiu. Bai Qian has been traveling with her brother. During her coronation ceremony, Feng Jiu still thinks of Dijun. With her status as Qing Qiu’s Queen, she is wistful that she won’t be able to go to Taichen Palace to see Dijun freely. Dijun’s coronation gift to her is a legendary map of the world. The message is that the world has changed and the places in the map have also ceased to exist. In other words, there is nothing that they should cling to.
Bai Qian and Bai Zhen are wandering around in the mortal world. They bump into Zhi Yue who wants to borrow money from them. Then, they notice Su Jin who is having a tough time and arguing with a man who wants to divorce her.
Episode 58
Bai Qian thinks that Su Jin’s punishment is too harsh. But neither would she care as Su Jin has nothing to do with her anymore. As Bai Qian and Bai Zhen sit down at a tea stall, they meet Yan Zhi. They chat for a little while about old times. Then, Bai Qian hears A Li calling out to her. He complains that Bai Qian has not been visiting him for the last 3 years. Bai Qian tells her son that she has been sleeping and has just woken up from her dream. A Li is on his way to pay respects to Ye Hua. She follows him there. Bai Qian kneels in front of Ye Hua’s coffin and tells him to take a break from his duties. When she falls asleep there, she dreams of Ye Hua again.
The Re-Awakening
After the trip, Bai Qian goes back to the mortal world to hang around a teahouse. An auspicious sign emerges in the Celestial Palace. Zi Yan reports that a strong energy is circulating around Ye Hua’s coffin. They suspect perhaps he isn’t dead. The Heavenly Lord orders Zi Lan to ask Mo Yuan to inspect the coffin. Mo Yuan uses his powers to open it up and raises Ye Hua’s body. Ye Hua wakes up from his slumber. Mo Yuan tells him that Bai Qian has been waiting for him for 3 years and to look for her at the cenotaph she erected in Peach Tree Woods.
Zhi Yue looks for Bai Qian at the teahouse to return the money she borrowed. Zhi Yue relates the story of his cousin to her and it begins to sound very much like Ye Hua’s story. She tells Bai Qian that her cousin isn’t dead. Bai Qian rushes to Xiwu Palace but is told by the maids that he is dead to her utter disappointment. On her way out, she stumbles into Mo Yuan.
What Happened To Ye Hua
Bai Qian is told that Ye Hua had in him half of his Heavenly Father’s powers in his primordial spirit when the latter created the Golden Lotus. Then, when Ye Hua defeated the Yingzhou beasts which were the creations of the Heavenly Father, he obtained the other half. Ye Hua must have used up all of these powers to seal the Bell Of East Emperor. The clash damaged his primordial spirit and hence, he fell into slumber. But his crystal coffin and burial ground offered a sacred place for healing which helped to speed up his re-awakening. Bai Qian finds Ye Hua again at Peach Tree Woods. They hug and are overwhelmed by emotions.
Yan Zhi visits Zi Lan at Kunlun Mountain. She brings along Li Jing’s child to thank Zi Lan for being her life saver. The child is actually a girl although Xuan Nu had always made it seemed that the baby is a boy. In the end, with a heavy heart, Zi Lan requests Yan Zhi not to look for him again. Bai Qian still thinks that she is in a dream. Ye Hua recalls every detail of their journey and assures her that it is not a dream.
Eternal Love Novel
As this drama is based on a Chinese novel, there is an English translation for it that is released under the title To The Sky Kingdom (Amazon affiliate link).
Other Dramas To Check Out
If you like xianxia dramas, then do check out The Untamed. To me, this also belongs to the must-watch list. While it is not about romance like Eternal Love, there is a subtle element of boys’ love in the drama. The other drama that is worth checking out is Legend of Fuyao which also stars Yang Mi. So, if you are a fan, you can’t miss it. It is longer than Eternal Love with 66 episodes but there are people who prefer the Yang Mi and Ethan Juan pairing than the one with Mark Chao. Hence, why not watch it and compare the 2 then? 🙂
