Episode 20 recap: Su Xiaohuan learned about Boqiu's true identity.
As Su Xiaohuan arrived by the river, she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, which made her a bit nervous. To her surprise, it was the old predecessor who had regained his youth. The old predecessor asked Su Xiaohuan why she refused to accept Boqiu, who was so good to her. The old predecessor also revealed that Boqiu had liked several girls in his past lives, all of whom were Su Xiaohuan's previous incarnations.
Many years ago, in Su Xiaohuan's past life, she saved a young white fox when she went up the mountain, and that fox was Boqiu. Boqiu, in order to repay the favor, begged the old predecessor to transform him into a human form, willing to pay any price. At first, the old predecessor naturally refused, but Boqiu pleaded persistently. Although the old predecessor eventually agreed, because Boqiu's power had not fully developed, transforming into human form would cause excruciating pain, and he would have to bear the curse of eternal love and eternal death with Su Xiaohuan as the price.
The curse meant that in every lifetime, Boqiu and Su Xiaohuan would fall in love, but in the end, she would die a tragic death, and Boqiu would experience long periods of loneliness and the pain of losing his loved one, enduring for thousands of years. The old predecessor also told Su Xiaohuan that if she wanted to know what had happened during those thousand years, she had to ask Boqiu.
The old predecessor brought Su Xiaohuan to Boqiu's side, and Boqiu finally let go of his guard and faced Su Xiaohuan directly. Boqiu told Su Xiaohuan that once she fell in love with him, she would experience various gruesome deaths, so he wanted her to hate him in order to change her fate. Boqiu hoped to protect Su Xiaohuan's safety by assuming the role of a villain, but he couldn't help but be drawn to her.
Boqiu's desire to seal the formation was also to protect Su Xiaohuan, but each time it was destroyed by her. Perhaps all of this was orchestrated by fate. Su Xiaohuan leaned on Boqiu's shoulder and suddenly remembered their past, realizing that they had truly loved each other. Su Xiaohuan kissed Boqiu, and they woke up the next morning.
While Boqiu was still asleep, Su Xiaohuan prepared to leave, but Qiansui, the Lord of a Thousand Years, came to find her and wanted to take her away. Su Xiaohuan refused. Just then, Boqiu arrived and wounded Qiansui. Su Xiaohuan and Boqiu left together. When they returned to the town, they discovered that all the ordinary demon people had been killed.
