Episode 24 recap: Cui Chen, in order to save Zhao Tan Tan, who was losing too much blood, fainted.
Qiu Yue Bai, unwilling to let Zhao Tan Tan become Cui Chen's wife, erupted in anger and fought with Cui Chen. Cui Chen entrusted Zhao Tan Tan to the Toad Spirit and Hu Meng, urging them to leave quickly.However, before they could depart, Mo Yan and a large group of demons intercepted them. Hu Meng fiercely fought against the attackers with a fox tail full of murderous intent, while the Tree Spirit provided support from the side, ultimately ensuring Zhao Tan Tan's safe escape. Cui Chen and Qiu Yue Bai, driven by their resentment over the wife-snatching, hated each other to the core, attacking each other relentlessly.
Qiu Yue Bai, relying on elusive body movements, attempted multiple sneak attacks on Cui Chen from tricky angles, but Cui Chen successfully countered them all, delivering heavy blows in return. Unwilling to accept defeat, Qiu Yue Bai transformed into black demonic energy and launched another assault, yet still couldn't overcome Cui Chen.
The Tree Spirit protected Hu Meng, Zhao Tan Tan, and the others, allowing them to leave first. Then, it turned back to assist Cui Chen, using its branches to seal off the exit of the house. Together, they hurriedly went to find Zhao Tan Tan. The Toad Spirit found a method to break the spell, which required the true love of Zhao Tan Tan's significant other to be used as a blood sacrifice, drawing out the lovesickness insects.
Without hesitation, Cui Chen cut his own hand, letting the blood flow onto Zhao Tan Tan's hand, but the lovesickness insects remained motionless. Cui Chen tightly grasped their hands, blood streaming down like water, finally coaxing the insects out. However, due to excessive blood loss, Cui Chen also fainted. Zhao Tan Tan woke up from the bed, immediately taking out the seven-piece puzzle from her neck. She regretted deeply for marrying Qiu Yue Bai in front of Cui Chen.
Zhao Tan Tan's actions woke Xue Yi up, who informed her that Cui Chen had lost too much blood while saving her and was in the adjacent room. Zhao Tan Tan rushed over and saw Cui Chen lying weakly, tears streaming down her face. Cui Chen's voice transmission artifact was nearby, and Zhao Tan Tan heard Cui Chen's worries about not being able to find her and the sadness of sending her to marry Qiu Yue Bai. She felt even more regretful and couldn't forgive herself for mistaking Qiu Yue Bai for Cui Chen. Tears streamed down her face.
Cui Chen slowly regained consciousness and gently comforted the grieving Zhao Tan Tan. He suggested that she cook hot pot for him to divert her attention. Zhao Tan Tan made the hot pot, and everyone enjoyed it, with Cui Chen especially relishing Zhao Tan Tan's wholehearted care, even being fed by her during the meal.
Hu Meng couldn't help but tease Zhao Tan Tan when she finally realized how caring he was, which made Zhao Tan Tan feel both shy and sweet. After dinner, Cui Chen and Zhao Tan Tan watched the stars together, looking at the Cowherd and Weaver Girl stars in the sky, which reminded them of each other.
Zhao Tan Tan accidentally noticed that Cui Chen's Locking Demon Chain was missing and quickly asked about it. She learned that the chain had broken because Cui Chen was moved emotionally. Feeling furious, she interrogated Cui Chen, demanding to know who he had seen to be so affected. Cui Chen explained that it was because of the influence of Qiu Yue Bai's jealousy, but Zhao Tan Tan, consumed by her own jealousy, didn't listen to his explanation and angrily walked away. She even asked Xue Yi to convey a message to Cui Chen, stating that she wanted to break up with him.
Hu Meng worried that Cui Chen, being a typical straightforward man, would believe it, so he asked Xue Yi to soften the tone of the message. Xue Yi then asked the Tree Spirit to pass on the message, which went through several channels before reaching Cui Chen's ears. It became a message that Zhao Tan Tan deeply loved Cui Chen and would forgive him even if he didn't come to coax her.
Concerned that Cui Chen might really think she wanted to break up, Zhao Tan Tan went to find him. When she saw Cui Chen with a smile on his face, not the least bit worried that she was angry, and heard him explain the misunderstanding, she became so angry that she called out Xue Yi, the Tree Spirit, Hu Meng, and the Toad Spirit to hold them accountable for spreading false information.
The Tree Spirit demonstrated to Cui Chen how to apologize sincerely and even gave him a washboard as a gift. Zhao Tan Tan, who had been hiding in the corner watching everything, appeared quickly and eagerly awaited Cui Chen's performance. Hu Meng, the Tree Spirit, and the Toad Spirit didn't want Cui Chen and Zhao Tan Tan to be awkward, so they encouraged Cui Chen from the side.
Cui Chen immediately put down the washboard and knelt down. Zhao Tan Tan grabbed him, about to kneel, which made Cui Chen overjoyed, thinking that Zhao Tan Tan had forgiven him. But Zhao Tan Tan didn't want to let Cui Chen off so easily and glared at him before turning her head away.
Cui Chen sincerely apologized to Zhao Tan Tan and finally obtained her forgiveness. Just as the two were about to embrace, Hu Meng and Xue Yi quickly held onto Zhao Tan Tan, while the Tree Spirit and the Toad Spirit held onto Cui Chen, preventing the two from having intimate contact. However, Cui Chen was moved, and flowers bloomed around him in four petals.
The Toad Spirit only knew that the entrance to Wanfang City was in a forest but couldn't remember where exactly. He pondered over it but ended up getting lost. The Tree Spirit found the Toad Spirit and realized that his senile dementia had worsened. It decided to take him back to the Qingyuan Sect to avoid becoming a burden to Cui Chen and Zhao Tan Tan.
When Xue Yi tried to contact Zhao Tan Tan, he realized that he couldn't reach her and puzzledly started heading back. At this point, Zhao Tan Tan and Cui Chen had already arrived in Wanfang City under the guidance of Feng Bao, only to discover that Feng Bao was the city lord.
