A Moment But Forever Episode 31 Recap
> A Moment But Forever Recap
Juan Juan appeared—it was just as Yuan Zhong had said, she was his friend. It turned out Juan Juan was born with curly hair, and back when she was on Fangwai Mountain, she tried to straighten it by secretly using Ding Xu’s Heaven-Flipping Seal, which caused a serious disaster and earned her a death sentence. It was Yuan Zhong who helped her survive and brought her to this place.
However, Juan Juan was not very welcoming toward Yuan Zhong and Ji Tan Yin’s arrival. Having long been used to solitude, she disliked living with others and didn’t want them to stay. Yuan Zhong, however, threatened her by saying that Juan Juan’s older sister and her children were on the way, leaving Juan Juan no choice but to allow them to stay. Ji Tan Yin took meticulous care of Yuan Zhong every day and even defended him.
Yuan Zhong had helped the humans and the Youhu Clan defeat the War Demons—while it was understandable that the War Demons would want revenge, the humans and the Youhu Clan owed him a debt of gratitude. They shouldn’t want him dead as well. However, now everyone wanted Yuan Zhong dead. Yuan Zhong, however, didn’t mind. He confided in Ji Tan Yin about his long-held feelings.
During the forty years of imprisonment, he was filled with resentment, thinking that if he ever escaped, he would punish the world with heavenly fire. But after meeting Ji Tan Yin and experiencing her selfless care and devotion, he was gradually moved and eventually gave up thoughts of revenge. Yuan Zhong admitted that he liked Ji Tan Yin. Ji Tan Yin was deeply touched and was about to admit that she liked him too.
But just as she was about to speak, the curse on her body activated, preventing her from expressing her love for Yuan Zhong. Yuan Zhong noticed something was wrong and asked with concern, but Ji Tan Yin brushed it off by saying she had internal injuries. Still, she felt very guilty, because Yuan Zhong had opened his heart, and even though she clearly loved him, she couldn’t say it out loud.
Zhi Dai was searching for Yuan Zhong along with Tang Hua and Qian Lin. At that moment, even Tang Hua began to worry, believing that Yuan Zhong now had the power to destroy the world. Tang Hua felt that since Zhi Dai was now the City Lord, her primary concern should be the human people, and they shouldn't all join in the search for Yuan Zhong, as it might put them in an awkward position.
While Zhi Dai and Tang Hua were discussing, Qian Lin appeared with two fish and insisted that Tang Hua clean them. That night, Ji Tan Yin intended to return to the divine realm to find out the truth—why Fu Jiuyun had said that Taihe Lord was the true demon. But since the Ascension Platform had already been sealed and Ji Tan Yin had lost her divine valley, she could no longer return freely.
Just as Ji Tan Yin was trying to figure out what to do, she heard a noise from Yuan Zhong’s side and hurried over in concern. It turned out Yuan Zhong couldn’t sleep and had gotten out of bed, accidentally bumping into something. Yuan Zhong suggested they take a walk outside. Ji Tan Yin accompanied him to sit beneath a large tree, where they talked about their pasts. During their conversation, Yuan Zhong asked how she had rescued him.
Ji Tan Yin didn’t want to reveal her identity and lied, saying she used the mechanical bird to take him out. But Yuan Zhong remembered that the mechanical bird had already been destroyed before he lost consciousness. Seeing she couldn’t keep the lie going, Ji Tan Yin used the excuse that it was too late and brought Yuan Zhong back.
After returning, Yuan Zhong recalled the events of that day—how Ji Tan Yin had rescued him and seemed to have shrunk the entire city of Yandu into a tiny Linglong House—realizing that she was still hiding something. Ji Tan Yin applied medicine to Yuan Zhong’s eyes while they talked about Juan Juan. Ji Tan Yin learned how Juan Juan trained and believed that one day Juan Juan could ascend to the divine realm.
She also learned about Juan Juan’s past and thought she should treat her better. Because Juan Juan’s time-keeping device was broken, Ji Tan Yin helped her repair it and discovered that Juan Juan was reading a book about the ascension of goddesses. Ji Tan Yin told her everything in the book was false and explained that the gap between humans and deities wasn’t simply between heaven and earth, but rather two separate worlds.
She also described the path that leads to the divine realm. All of this was overheard by Yuan Zhong, who was standing outside the room, and once again began to suspect Ji Tan Yin’s true identity.
