Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Episode 15 Recap
> Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Recap
The young lord approached Zhao Ruoshi, suggesting that Mu Yao and her group of exorcists were unlikely to solve the problem and implying that he himself might have a solution. Though his intentions seemed dubious, Zhao Ruoshi appreciated his concern for the princess, feeling reassured about marrying her to him. Soon, the man who previously paid for their expenses reappeared, informing them that his master had arranged a place for them to stay and proposing a meeting that night.
Mu Yao and her companions were unsure of his intentions but decided to attend. That evening, they arrived at Yiyun Tower, where the owner warmly welcomed them and introduced the Tianxing Pavilion as the most luxurious suite, reserved by a distinguished guest. Mu Sheng was unimpressed, while Ling Miaomiao speculated that the guest must be an interesting person. However, upon entering the room, Ling Miaomiao was at a loss for words—the decor was messy, nowhere near the luxury promised.
The owner quickly distanced himself, claiming that the guest had decorated it himself, and it was not their responsibility. Ling Miaomiao began to recall the plot of the book and wondered if there had been a character like this. The young lord, on his way there, had been repeatedly reminded by his servants to maintain his composure, but he fell flat on his face as soon as he arrived.
Ling Miaomiao immediately knelt down to check on him, and seeing the woman he had fallen for at first sight, he quickly composed himself, his eyes gleaming. Liu Fuyi recognized the young lord immediately, while Ling Miaomiao recalled that this character was merely a minor NPC in the novel. Wondering why he now had so many scenes, the young lord saw Ling Miaomiao gazing at his fan and considered her a kindred spirit, generously offering the fan to her.
Despite her repeated refusals, Mu Sheng looked on with a fierce gaze. The young lord continued to flirt, giving Ling Miaomiao goosebumps, while Mu Sheng simmered with jealousy. The young lord’s gaze never left Ling Miaomiao, and with a few probing words, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi nearly coaxed his secret out of him. He had no desire for them to catch the demon near Princess Danyang.
Realizing that the young lord was about to spill too much, his servant quickly dragged him away, though his eyes remained fixed on Ling Miaomiao. The truth was that the evil spirit affecting the princess was the doing of the young lord and his servant, who were anxious that he would reveal too much. Initially, the young lord only wished to avoid marrying the princess, intending to come up with a scheme, but things had escalated to drive her mad.
The group had already begun to suspect the truth, which only made the young lord even more cautious. Mu Yao, Mu Sheng, and Liu Fuyi realized that the young lord was sabotaging his own duties. But given that he was set to marry the emperor’s sister, they couldn’t understand why he would harm her. As a modern person, Ling Miaomiao was not surprised, having seen such schemes often.
The young lord had tampered with the princess’s bedding, likely covering his tracks, so the group decided to investigate the Imperial Observatory that night. Ling Miaomiao wanted to join, but Mu Yao, concerned for her safety, refused and even suggested that Mu Sheng stay back to watch over her, saying that she and Liu Fuyi were enough for the task.
Later that night, Ling Miaomiao, Mu Sheng, and Cui Cui all set their sights on the shop that tortured demons, planning to blow it up. Meanwhile, Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi arrived at the Imperial Observatory and easily bypassed the barriers. Mu Sheng did the same at the shop, and he and Ling Miaomiao began searching inside. Mu Yao spotted the crescent moon artifact.
Her grandfather had said that when it met its destined master, it would awaken, and she suggested that Liu Fuyi might be the next Heavenly-Level Exorcist. However, when he tried to pull it out, he couldn’t. Ling Miaomiao tugged on Mu Sheng’s sleeve as they discovered the store’s account book, finding a record of items bought by Lu Jiu.
They accidentally knocked over a bottle of potion, causing Mu Sheng to act strangely, suddenly confessing his feelings to Ling Miaomiao, calling her the smartest and most beautiful girl he had ever met. Ling Miaomiao, taken aback, was pulled closer as he passionately declared that he had liked her for a long time. In truth, Ling Miaomiao had inhaled a hallucinogenic fragrance, causing her to respond lovingly, even leaning in to kiss him.
When Cui Cui entered to warn them, he saw the two completely entranced in their fantasies, each far apart but acting as if they were face-to-face, with one puckering up and the other holding a book as if kissing it, leaving Cui Cui utterly speechless. Cui Cui managed to snap them out of it, revealing that the fragrance caused people to see their deepest desires, explaining the scene that had just unfolded. Both turned red with embarrassment.
Feeling sorrowful upon seeing fellow creatures suffering, Cui Cui asked them to free the little demons, and Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng released them all, blowing up the corrupt shop before leaving, hand in hand, with youthful pride. That night, Ling Miaomiao couldn’t sleep, disturbed by the atmosphere, and ended up tossing and turning. Her restlessness kept Cui Cui awake, as well as Mu Sheng.
Eventually, Ling Miaomiao went to Mu Sheng’s room, lay beside him, and insisted that she couldn’t sleep. She mentioned knowing what he had seen in the Wan Zhen Hall, making Mu Sheng blush. However, when he opened his eyes, he realized it was a dream, and beside him was actually Cui Cui.
Unable to sleep because of Ling Miaomiao’s strange behavior, Cui Cui had come over, and hearing that Ling Miaomiao was calling Mu Sheng’s name in her dreams, he hid under the blanket, laughing in a manner unlike his usual self—exactly like Ling Miaomiao. It seemed no one would get a good night’s sleep. The next day, both Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng, exhausted from lack of sleep, pretended to act tough when they met.
Liu Fuyi had already figured out the effects of whale demon blood, though the hallucinations only lasted half an hour. Strangely, there was nothing unusual in the princess’s chambers, leading them to suspect only one possibility. The Imperial Observatory requested to meet with the four, and they were surprised to find that its head was Guo Xiu, the chief astrologer. He revealed that the princess’s madness was all an act, but the group was unsurprised, having already guessed as much.
