Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Episode 1 Recap
> Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Recap
Ling Miaomiao, an ordinary office worker, loved Saturdays the most. This Saturday, her most important plan was to watch her idol Fu Zhou's new work, "Catching Demons. " Just as Ling Miaomiao was engrossed in the story, Tao Zong suddenly called to say there would be a meeting and asked her to notify everyone. Everyone had to be in the office by noon. Ling Miaomiao didn’t even finish her sentence about it being Saturday before Tao Zong hung up.
So, Ling Miaomiao put on her headphones and boarded the bus to the company, listening to the novel while on the way. During the meeting, she remained immersed in the world of "Catching Demons" until Tao Zong called her name, snapping her out of her daydream. She was then assigned work that had to be submitted by Monday. After listening to the novel all day, Ling Miaomiao felt it was somewhat absurd; after all, Fu Zhou was her favorite author.
The story had no major twists until the very end, and in her frustration, she typed out her thoughts in the comments section. However, before she could post it, the computer screen suddenly displayed strange patterns, and then she was sucked into the screen, disappearing without a trace. Ling Miaomiao fell from the sky and found herself in a completely different environment, one that looked ancient.
Not only were the surroundings dressed in ancient style, but even the maidservants were in traditional garb. When she looked in the mirror, she realized she was also wearing ancient clothing. Just as she was recovering from her shock, everything around her suddenly froze, and a mechanical voice rang out: she had entered the story, and from now on, she was Lin Yu, the vicious female supporting character she often criticized.
To return to reality, she had to complete the main quest and survive until the end, which included eliminating the great demoness and completing secondary tasks. The first secondary task was to enter the bridal chamber with Liu Fuyi. Startled, Ling Miaomiao tried to escape, but when the system disappeared, everything resumed. She ran out of the room and was struck by lightning, nearly meeting a tragic end. Once more, Ling Miaomiao found herself back at the beginning.
Xiao Wan came to her with wedding attire. Ling Miaomiao sneakily entered the courtyard, cautiously testing the waters, but ended up getting hit again. It seemed she was truly stuck in a bug. With no other options, Ling Miaomiao decided to wear the wedding dress, thinking, "If I'm getting married, then so be it! " She donned the wedding dress and married the male lead, Liu Fuyi.
In the plot, this was a fake marriage intended to lure out the great demon. Liu Fuyi was quite the gentleman, inviting Ling Miaomiao to drink a ceremonial cup with him. Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her back; it seemed the great demoness was coming! Liu Fuyi warned her not to look back, but he himself was captivated by the mirror demon in the reflection and walked towards it, bringing the demon into the real world.
In an instant, the mirror demon clashed with Liu Fuyi and then vanished. As Ling Miaomiao huddled in a corner, trembling, the system's voice congratulated her on completing the beginner's task. She calmed down, recalling that in the original plot, she was supposed to tear up Mu Yao's talisman! Fearing being blamed for harming the female lead, she hurriedly urged Liu Fuyi to save her.
Mu Yao was still fast asleep in her room, while the mirror demon silently approached her, eyes filled with malevolence. Mu Yao sensed it and got up to confront the demon. Liu Fuyi arrived just in time to protect her, causing the mirror demon to disappear again. When Ling Miaomiao rushed in, Liu Fuyi had closed the door. Mu Yao warned her that the mirror demon was still inside!
The silence in the room was terrifying as the mirror demon trapped all three of them in the mirror world. Ling Miaomiao urged them to find the real mirror demon and shatter it to return to reality. With her prompt, Liu Fuyi and Mu Yao carefully searched among countless mirrors and finally located the real demon, encountering Ling Miaomiao in the process, but she was held in a life-or-death situation by the mirror demon.
The demon often harmed grooms on their wedding night, as they couldn't resist its temptation, while their brides were usually oblivious, like its own master. To save Ling Miaomiao, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi put down their magical tools, but despite being demon catchers, without their tools, they were just ordinary people. The mirror demon was about to start a massacre when suddenly, a blinding sword energy surged forward.
After a flash of light, Ling Miaomiao saw the male second lead from the novel: the sickly, ruthless black lotus, Mu Sheng, Mu Yao's brother. Ignoring the mirror demon's threat, Mu Sheng swiftly destroyed it with his blade, and the group instantly returned to the real world. Mu Sheng was about to deal a fatal blow to the mirror demon, but Liu Fuyi advised him to put her in the demon-catching tower.
However, Mu Sheng, being an overprotective brother, wouldn’t hear it. Luckily, Mu Yao’s physical condition drew his attention, giving Liu Fuyi time to confine the demon in the tower. When Mu Sheng realized his sister had been supported by Ling Miaomiao, he quickly embraced her. Finally free, Ling Miaomiao took a good look at Mu Sheng—this was her husband in the book. Originally, Mu Sheng didn't love Lin Yu; he married her just to humiliate her.
After their marriage, he treated her terribly and even used a love curse on her, causing her immense suffering, a fate she brought upon herself. Ling Miaomiao trembled; Mu Sheng’s terrifying character was truly someone she couldn’t afford to provoke. Mu Sheng expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu Fuyi, saying that if he hadn’t returned, his sister would be dead. Yet Liu Fuyi not only abandoned her but also married another woman.
Ling Miaomiao found herself tearing up, which caught Mu Sheng's attention. He asked her whether she felt envious or resentful. Only then did Ling Miaomiao recall that Mu Sheng despised Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi being together. She felt overwhelmed by Mu Sheng's powerful aura and collapsed onto the ground after he left. Upon waking up, Ling Miaomiao realized she hadn’t returned to her world as she had imagined. She carefully reflected on the book's worldview.
Nine hundred years ago, the Cataclysm descended upon the world, and the sorcerer Mu Qingshi gained enlightenment to mend the heavens. After the Cataclysm, people began to fear demons, and sorcerers gradually turned to demon hunting, with the Mu family becoming a renowned name in this field. Seven years ago, the Demon King, a vengeful female spirit, rampaged through the Mu family, leaving only Mu Yao and Mu Sheng alive.
Along their journey, they met Liu Fuyi and later Lin Yu, who was now Ling Miaomiao, joining the main cast. Ling Miaomiao was dazzled by Lin Yu's jewelry box, while the servants served exquisite bird’s nest soup. Despite the lavish lifestyle, Ling Miaomiao remembered that in the book, Lin Yu's father was a corrupt official, and all this wealth was built on the backs of the people. As the servants urged her to fetch her father, Ling Miaomiao felt nervous.
To others, she might seem suspicious, but when she saw her father from the book, who looked exactly like her father in real life, she immediately forgot everything else and rushed into his arms.
