Episode 29 recap: Zhao Tan Tan released the news of the marriage on behalf of the Demon Lord.
Cui Chen meticulously arranged the proposal scene and anxiously waited for Zhao Tan Tan. However, Zhao Tan Tan didn't dare to show up and secretly hid behind a tree, watching Cui Chen. As time passed, Cui Chen became uneasy and suddenly remembered the last proposal when he didn't show up and watched Zhao Tan Tan desperately protecting those flowers from a corner. Unable to resist, Zhao Tan Tan came out and allowed Cui Chen to present the carefully prepared proposal. Cui Chen not only decorated with flowers and candles but also created the "Light of Qingyuan" with fireflies, which greatly surprised Zhao Tan Tan. While Zhao Tan Tan was immersed in the moment, Cui Chen suddenly asked if she would marry him. Startled, Zhao Tan Tan turned around, only to find Cui Chen had fainted again due to his declining spiritual power.
Zhao Tan Tan stayed by Cui Chen's side all night. Unexpectedly, when Cui Chen woke up, he forgot who she was. After realizing that she was Zhao Da Hua, who had fallen off the cliff, and confirming that her injuries had healed, Cui Chen drove her away without hesitation. Unable to resist, Zhao Tan Tan returned to the proposal scene from yesterday, but to her surprise, Cui Chen was already there. Zhao Tan Tan quickly hid and overheard Cui Chen talking to himself, realizing that Cui Chen had remembered that she was Zhao Tan Tan. Seeing Cui Chen's tears, Zhao Tan Tan felt very sad.
Shi Junior Sister came to find Zhao Tan Tan, exposing her true identity. Cui Chen learned that Zhao Tan Tan had already discovered everything and felt unsure about what to do. Meanwhile, Zhao Tan Tan learned that Wanfang City was under attack by the demon clan and Feng Bao came to seek help, so she hurried back to Qingyuan Sect.
Despite Cui Chen's declining spiritual power, he worried about Wanfang City and volunteered to help. He assured everyone that he had a way to deal with his memory issues, which concerned Shi Junior Sister. Feng Bao believed that Zhao Tan Tan and Cui Chen had already gathered the seven lotus seeds to break the curse of the Xilan Flower, so he sought their help. Upon learning that Zhao Tan Tan had gone missing and Cui Chen's power had greatly declined, he bid farewell to Qing Zhu Feng and determined to fight the demonic cultivators to the end.
Qing Zhu Feng quickly intervened and issued invitations to the righteous sects, inviting them to join forces and eliminate evil in Wanfang City tomorrow. Touched by Qing Zhu Feng's willingness to help despite past grievances, Feng Bao knelt down and expressed his gratitude. Zhao Tan Tan returned and wanted to immediately rush to Wanfang City with Feng Bao, but after learning that Qing Zhu Feng had made arrangements, she calmed down.
Zhao Tan Tan questioned Qing Zhu Feng about the matter of Peach Blossom Valley. Qing Zhu Feng originally intended to keep it a secret, but Zhao Tan Tan had been staying there recently and couldn't be hidden. He had no choice but to reveal that he had encountered Cui Chen, who was about to leave that day. Upon learning that Cui Chen planned to end his life when he couldn't control himself and not burden his fellow sect members, Zhao Tan Tan slapped him hard and arranged for Cui Chen to stay in Peach Blossom Valley. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tan Tan accidentally stumbled upon the location herself.
Zhao Tan Tan was determined to save Wanfang City, but Qing Zhu Feng knew that the Demon Lord had surrounded it with his forces without attacking, indicating that he had a different motive, and Zhao Tan Tan was likely the target. Qing Zhu Feng used the excuse of gathering righteous cultivators to rescue Wanfang City to temporarily delay Zhao Tan Tan.
That night, Qing Zhu Feng secretly entered the room with the Toad Spirit, and they speculated that the reason the Seven-Leaf Lotus couldn't be synthesized was that Zhao Tan Tan was a part of it. If Zhao Tan Tan lost her virginity, the Seven-Leaf Lotus would never be complete. Qing Zhu Feng wanted to protect Zhao Tan Tan, so he decided to lead a team to save Wanfang City and asked the Toad Spirit to assist from the side, urging Zhao Tan Tan to stay in Qingyuan Sect. Zhao Tan Tan overheard the conversation between Qing Zhu Feng and the Toad Spirit and understood the reasons. She also came up with a plan to save Cui Chen. The next day, when Qing Zhu Feng was about to depart, she revealed her plan, stating that the Demon Lord feared her losing her virginity in order to obtain the Seven-Leaf Lotus. By announcing her engagement, the Demon Lord would surely send his forces to stop her before she entered the bridal chamber. At that moment, they could activate the Qingyuan Sect's demon-slaying formation and capture the demon clan.
Cui Chen, worried about Wanfang City, rushed back to Qingyuan Sect and happened to hear about Zhao Tan Tan's upcoming marriage. Overwhelmed, he fainted. When he woke up, he completely forgot about Zhao Tan Tan. Only when he saw the reminder sign he made for himself did he remember that Zhao Tan Tan was the person he couldn't fall in love with. However, he still agreed to have a fake marriage with Zhao Tan Tan in order to solve the crisis in Wanfang City.
Although Zhao Tan Tan knew it was a fake wedding, she still put her heart into making the bridal gown because she knew she couldn't be truly with Cui Chen and wanted to leave behind a beautiful memory. Cui Chen sat by the lotus pond, constantly looking at the reminder sign, reminding himself that marrying Zhao Tan Tan was just a temporary solution. As he looked at the familiar scenery, memories of the joyful moments with Zhao Tan Tan flooded back.
Unable to resist, Cui Chen went to find Zhao Tan Tan and happened to see her trying on the wedding gown, which was specially made for him.
