> Love Game in Eastern Fantasy Recap
Liu Fuyi finally opened up to Mu Yao and revealed the source of his inner demons. Orphaned at a young age, Liu Fuyi wandered aimlessly in Cainan County until his master took him in. His parents, who were bandits, were executed when he was only six years old, leaving him homeless and destitute.
He eventually stumbled upon Liuru Village, where kind villagers took him in and treated him as one of their own, refusing to judge him for his parents' sins. The villagers clothed and fed him, becoming like a family to him. One day, while chopping wood on the mountain, Liu Fuyi heard cries for help. He rushed over and saved a ragged little girl, only to later discover she was a phantom demon.
Liu Fuyi wasn’t afraid of her and secretly brought her food and clothes, treating her as his best friend. He assumed she was just another orphan like himself, but he was wrong. That day, the phantom demon slaughtered all the villagers, including his playmates. Consumed by rage, Liu Fuyi killed the demon in revenge. Wandering aimlessly in despair afterward, he was rescued by his master. From then on, he vowed to hunt all evil demons to atone for his sins.
Hearing this, Mu Yao felt deeply for him, knowing it wasn’t solely his fault. As the time of the Catastrophe drew near with no clues in sight, Ling Miaomiao was dejected. Mu Sheng, attempting to cheer her up, took her to listen to storytelling. They were bored until the storyteller mentioned the name "Ziqi. " Both Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng perked up and immediately sought out the author, Lord Jiyue.
However, there was a long line of people waiting to meet him, with at least a two-month wait. When the steward overheard the name "Ziqi," he promptly ushered them in. Lord Jiyue greeted them enthusiastically, focusing solely on Mu Sheng and ignoring Ling Miaomiao. Annoyed by the interrogation, Mu Sheng bluntly admitted to being half-demon, only for Lord Jiyue to embrace him excitedly. Inviting them into his room, Lord Jiyue explained that his bestselling stories weren’t his own creations.
Ten years ago, in Wufang Town, there was a place called the Flower Fragrance Pavilion, run by a woman named Liuniang. One day, Liuniang disbanded the music hall and burned it down. Back then, Lord Jiyue was a poor scholar scavenging through the ruins for valuables when he stumbled upon a box of pearls. However, these pearls had an eerie quality. Curious, Ling Miaomiao and Mu Sheng listened as Lord Jiyue revealed that the pearls held stories within them.
Mu Sheng confirmed they weren’t pearls but tears, each one containing the story of a Flower Fragrance woman. Lord Jiyue adapted these stories into his writings, which became wildly popular. Eventually, Liuniang sought him out and revealed that she was a demon. She gave him a single red pearl, explaining that it was a tear belonging to Mu Sheng’s mother, the Enchantress.
Years ago, the Enchantress and the Marquess of Qingyi fell in love at first sight, and Mu Sheng was the result of their union. However, the story of the half-red pearl ended there. Liuniang asked Lord Jiyue to find the child in the story and deliver a message to seek her out. Mu Sheng left immediately, overwhelmed by the realization that his mother had tampered with his memories, erasing everything before he turned seven.
He had always believed she abandoned him. Conflicted, he wondered if she was still alive, if she was happy, and whether she had ever truly loved him. Despite his turmoil, he knew he had to meet Liuniang. Meanwhile, Liu Fuyi and Mu Yao arrived at his childhood village, only to find that the villagers were somehow alive and recognized him. They affectionately called him by his childhood nickname, "Maodan.
" Stunned, Liu Fuyi remembered that the villagers had all died years ago. The villagers explained that Ten Niangzi had passed through the village a decade ago and saved them. They pointed the way to her residence. Liu Fuyi and Mu Yao visited Ten Niangzi's home, where they met her and her husband, Li Zhun.
Sensing demonic energy from Li Zhun, Liu Fuyi immediately attacked but later learned that Li Zhun suffered from asthma and was being treated with icy jade silkworms by Ten Niangzi. During their conversation, Li Zhun fell ill, prompting Ten Niangzi to take him to rest, looking visibly worried. Liuniang’s residence turned out to be a village filled with demons, all of whom seemed to adore her.
When Liuniang appeared, the Crescent Moon Sword in Mu Sheng’s hand attacked her of its own accord. Fortunately, Mu Sheng restrained it in time. Liuniang then led Mu Sheng to the home where he once lived with his mother. She had kept the place well-maintained, revealing that this village was originally built by her for the Enchantress.
