> A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella Recap
Meng Xizhou accompanied Nan Fengyi to the Dali Temple to pack up his belongings. As Nan Fengyi looked around the temple, his eyes were filled with reluctance. Sensing his feelings, Meng Xizhou asked him if he could use the secret passage to plead with the emperor again, suggesting that if he found the Scroll of Mountains and Seas, the emperor might reinstate him.
Nan Fengyi explained that all the secret passage exits had been sealed by the emperor, and he didn’t want to cause more trouble. Meng Xizhou realized that the person who had protected Nan Fengyi back then was likely the emperor himself, but now the emperor’s attitude seemed cold and unfeeling. Nan Fengyi decided to let it go, and the two prepared to leave.
Just then, Huo Ting and Huo Xiao arrived, telling Nan Fengyi that he would always be their "Brother Nan. "As they were talking, Guo Ji arrived with an imperial decree, announcing that the emperor had officially appointed him as the new head of the Dali Temple. Guo Ji mockingly asked whether he should address him as Nan Fengyi or Bai Ze Yi, claiming that his promotion was due to his "meritorious" reporting.
Meng Xizhou called him a petty villain, but Guo Ji retorted that he had done the right thing. As Meng Xizhou and Nan Fengyi prepared to leave, Huo Ting and Huo Xiao also attempted to follow, but Guo Ji warned them that if they left, they shouldn’t expect to return. In his agitation, Guo Ji's hat fell to the ground and rolled under a table.
Unable to reach it, he ordered Huo Ting to retrieve it, but then disdainfully kicked it away after it was handed to him. On the way back, Meng Xizhou expressed disbelief that the emperor had promoted someone like Guo Ji. Meanwhile, she remained unaware of Empress Miao Yun's dark secrets. The empress, who had once been involved with Situ Hanshan, was also a demon.
She harbored ambitions to become the Demon King and grew increasingly resentful of humans after Situ Hanshan’s death. Declaring that no one else should enjoy love if she couldn’t, she vowed to turn all lovers in the world into resentful pairs. After Guo Ji was dismissed by Du Yuelian, Empress Miao Yun decided to use him for her plans and sent the demon Xuan Xu Jiao Niang to Changle City.
Nan Fengyi and Meng Xizhou stopped by a stall to buy some rice. The stall owner recognized Nan Fengyi as Bai Ze Yi and refused to sell rice to "the descendant of a traitor. " He also gathered a crowd and incited them against Nan Fengyi. Meng Xizhou tried to reason with them, arguing that Nan Fengyi was just a child back then and couldn’t have understood anything. However, the crowd ignored her and began pelting them with rotten vegetables.
Nan Fengyi led Meng Xizhou away and told her not to accompany him out anymore. Meng Xizhou hugged him tightly, promising to stay by his side. Just then, Nan Sixu returned, angry that Nan Fengyi had revealed the secret they had kept hidden for so long. Expecting a reprimand, Nan Fengyi was surprised when Nan Sixu burst into laughter, relieved that he no longer had to keep the secret or fear for Nan Fengyi’s safety.
He expressed joy at finally being able to face Lady Wang with his true identity. Nan Sixu asked if they had plans for the evening. Meng Xizhou quickly understood his intent and replied that they did. She then dragged Nan Fengyi out into the streets, where they roamed in masks, enjoying the lively atmosphere. Xuan Xu Jiao Niang was selling Meng Xizhou’s brand of lip balm on the streets, and Meng Xizhou wanted one. Nan Fengyi bought it for her.
Xuan Xu Jiao Niang informed them that purchasing the lip balm came with a free performance of Westzhou illusions. Intrigued, they stayed to watch the illusions. After the performance, a purple mist appeared in the sky. Meng Xizhou felt that something was amiss and noticed that her eyes started to ache again. Elsewhere, Wu Shu was struggling to sell his house, but no one was willing to buy it.
Dan Qian commented that Meng Xizhou’s beloved, Nan Fengyi, had been dismissed from his position, and the new head of the Dali Temple refused to do business with them. Dan Qian asked Wu Shu if he still supported Meng Xizhou and Nan Fengyi’s relationship. Wu Shu replied that he would respect the child’s wishes. While they were talking, a monster suddenly charged toward them. Fortunately, Du Yuelian arrived in time to save them.
Dan Qian remarked that the monster seemed frightened. Huo Ting later informed Nan Fengyi that Nan Sixu had been falsely accused of killing Lady Wang’s lover. Concerned, Nan Fengyi and Meng Xizhou went to visit Nan Sixu, but it seemed that he no longer recognized them.
