Episode 28 recap: Cui Chen loses her memory.
After taking the medicine given by the locust tree spirit, Cui Chen wakes up the next day. At that moment, Zhao Tan Tan, exhausted and worried, is already sleeping by Cui Chen's bedside. Cui Chen realizes her current situation and is reluctant to let go of her feelings for Zhao Tan Tan. With tears in her eyes, she reaches out her hand, intending to touch Zhao Tan Tan, but then worries about burdening her and resolutely withdraws her hand, turning away.
The toad spirit searches through the records of the mortal world and finally finds a way to stop Cui Chen's declining cultivation. As soon as he speaks up, he startles Sha Shi Jie, who is focused on alchemy. The medicine cauldron explodes, causing chaos in the room. Sha Shi Jie is covered in black soot, with no trace of her cultivation. Seeing this scene, the toad spirit guiltily lowers his head. Zhao Tan Tan rushes in, asking if anyone has seen Cui Chen. It is then that everyone learns that Cui Chen's whereabouts are unknown.
Xue Yi and Yan Zi Fei observe the entire sect from high in the sky but do not find any trace of Cui Chen. Zhao Tan Tan hurriedly goes to the Lotus Pond and enters the secret space but still does not find Cui Chen, which increases her anxiety. In the evening, everyone gathers to discuss a solution. The toad spirit reveals that he has found a way to stop Cui Chen's cultivation decline: finding the Dragon Bone Grass.
Although Zhao Tan Tan knows that the location to obtain the medicine is extremely dangerous, she decides to go there. Xue Yi, the locust tree spirit, and Hu Meng all express their intention to accompany her, but Zhao Tan Tan does not want to burden them and chooses to leave secretly on her own. The Demon Lord learns that Qiu Yue Bai has been exposed due to the appearance of the lotus pattern and is now imprisoned in Qingyuan Sect. Despite Yue Ying's pleading, the Demon Lord refuses to send anyone to rescue him. After all, the Demon Lord only accepted Mu Xuan because he had practiced cultivation methods, which allowed him to enter Qingyuan Sect unharmed. Other members of the demon clan would lose their powers once they entered Qingyuan Sect. Seeing Qiu Yue Bai, who was sent to Qingyuan Sect at the cost of a lotus seed, now becoming an imprisoned prisoner, the Demon Lord has no intention of making the effort to save him. He coldly watches to see if Qiu Yue Bai can turn the situation around. If he fails, he will truly be considered a waste.
Qiu Yue Bai is cunning. He pretends to be in unbearable pain, hoping to deceive the guard into the prison cell. The guard remembers Cui Chen's warning not to enter the cell but is moved by Qiu Yue Bai, who has fainted on the ground. He is about to open the prison door when Sha Shi Jie arrives and stops him, instructing him to go find the locust tree spirit for some foot skin, foiling Qiu Yue Bai's plan.
This is the first time Zhao Tan Tan ventures outside to search for medicine without Cui Chen. She is anxious and fearful but encourages herself along the way. Finally, she passes through a gloomy cave and finds the Dragon Bone Grass.
Zhao Tan Tan joyfully reaches out to pick the Dragon Bone Grass, but it is repelled by the prohibition on the grass. She immediately activates her spiritual power to break the prohibition and successfully picks the Dragon Bone Grass.
The wolf beast, seeing the Dragon Bone Grass that it has been guarding being taken by Zhao Tan Tan, pounces fiercely at her. Zhao Tan Tan fights back against the wolf beast but accidentally falls off a cliff, losing hold of the Dragon Bone Grass. Xue Yi, the locust tree spirit, Huai Shu Jing, and the toad spirit search for Zhao Tan Tan but cannot find her. They end up fighting the wolf beast instead and return to report to Qing Zhu Feng in a sorry state. Qing Zhu Feng becomes anxious and mobilizes everyone in the sect to search for Zhao Tan Tan.
Zhao Tan Tan wakes up from unconsciousness and finds that her injured limbs have been properly fixed. At that moment, someone approaches the door, and Zhao Tan Tan intuitively feels that it is Cui Chen. Her intuition is correct, as Cui Chen indeed appears before her but has forgotten who she is.
Zhao Tan Tan introduces herself as Zhao Da Hua and gives Cui Chen the nickname "Gou Sheng." She hopes that Cui Chen can live peacefully. Cui Chen takes care of Zhao Tan Tan with great care, which makes Zhao Tan Tan very happy. She hopes that these peaceful days can continue.
One day, Cui Chen specially makes a cane for Zhao Tan Tan to help her with personal matters. However, as soon as Zhao Tan Tan practices using the cane, her wounds start bleeding. Cui Chen deeply regrets it and decides to disregard societal norms and carry Zhao Tan Tan in her arms whenever they go out. This gesture brings joy and gratitude to Zhao Tan Tan.
To provide more nutrition for Zhao Tan Tan, Cui Chen goes fishing and catches two fish. Zhao Tan Tan wants to eat braised fish and steamed fish, and Cui Chen fulfills both requests. Then, unexpectedly, Cui Chen reveals that her beloved person's favorite food is tanghulu (a traditional Chinese snack of candied hawthorn skewers) named Zhao Tan Tan.
Worried that Cui Chen might remember everything, Zhao Tan Tan quickly knocks Cui Chen unconscious. In Cui Chen's room, she sees several paintings created by Cui Chen, depicting their preferences and important events between them. She quickly sets the paintings on fire. However, when Cui Chen wakes up again, she has forgotten that Zhao Tan Tan is Zhao Da Hua and eagerly plans to propose to her, seeking a perfect moment.
