Episode 16 recap: Bo Qiu decided to embrace death.
Su Xiaohuan and Bo Qiu were walking on the street when an old man approached them and greeted them. He said that Bai Qiu and Su Xiaohuan had a deep connection spanning ten lifetimes, but due to karmic entanglements and numerous calamities, Bai Qiu asked how to resolve it. The old man said that Bai Qiu actually knew the method to resolve it. The old man also said that he had a way to resolve it, which was to buy sky lanterns, and each lantern only cost five wen. Su Xiaohuan immediately felt that it was a scam, and Bai Qiu knew it too, but they still bought the lanterns.
Su Xiaohuan and Bo Qiu each made their own wishes, and they watched the lanterns flying in the sky together. It can be said that everything was very beautiful. Su Xiaohuan couldn't help but sigh. Although the lanterns were beautiful, they were too short-lived. Bo Qiu said that beautiful things are always too short-lived, and perhaps he was living for this fleeting moment. Su Xiaohuan didn't say a word, just stared blankly at Bo Qiu.
Su Xiaohuan returned home very happy, but she regretted not seeing the "Goose Flying to the Moon" performance. However, Bo Qiu said that he had already seen the most beautiful "Goose Flying to the Moon" performance. Su Xiaohuan had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and asked Bo Qiu if he liked the one she performed. Bo Qiu didn't say anything. Su Xiaohuan, in her drunken state, asked why Bo Qiu brought her to see the lantern festival. She couldn't understand why Bo Qiu was so good to her. The better Bo Qiu treated her, the more guilty Su Xiaohuan felt. She couldn't understand why Bo Qiu was her enemy, and why she couldn't like him.
Bo Qiu didn't say anything, he just kept holding Su Xiaohuan and put her on the bed. Bo Qiu was about to leave, but Su Xiaohuan held onto him and refused to let him go. In fact, Bo Qiu also wanted to stay by Su Xiaohuan's side. He also wanted to be with her, but he couldn't. Bo Qiu quietly told Su Xiaohuan to live well in a world without him, then he kissed her forehead and left.
When Su Xiaohuan woke up, it was already noon, but Bo Qiu was no longer by her side. At that moment, Qiansui Daren was still casting a spell, preparing to trap Bo Qiu, but Bo Qiu paid no attention and continued painting. Roots had already grown under Bo Qiu's feet. When Su Xiaohuan returned and tried to pull Bo Qiu away, her efforts were in vain.
Bo Qiu felt that he had lived long enough, and being sealed now was a form of liberation. This way, Qiansui Daren would also perish together with Bo Qiu. Su Xiaohuan hurriedly ran away, but Bo Qiu didn't react at all.
