Episode 20 recap: Ji Yang Imitates Story Books to Pursue Nan Yan
In Episode 20, Ji Yang was surrounded by a powerful demonic aura that was extremely stubborn and refused to go away. Suddenly, Senluo broke through Ji Yang's seal and started fighting with Nan Yan. In the confrontation, Senluo realized that Nan Yan was actually the manifestation of the Qifuzaoshushu (Seven Floating Cultivation Scripture). Immediately, a mix of old and new grudges surfaced in Senluo's heart.
However, Senluo's power was not enough, and he almost got eliminated by Nan Yan. Nan Yan, remembering that Ji Yang and Senluo were bound together, spared Senluo's life, but ended up being severely injured by Senluo.
Fortunately, Ji Yang regained consciousness in time, called Senluo back, and felt guilty about Nan Yan's injuries. He reiterated that he was not the person Nan Yan knew, but Nan Yan said that even if Ji Yang had lost his heart, she would spare no effort to bring him back.
To apologize, Ji Yang, imitating story books, sent flowers and gifts to Nan Yan, and even personally brewed medicine for her. Nan Yan found Ji Yang's extravagant gestures amusing, thinking that even if he had lost his memory, he still didn't know how to live properly. However, Nan Yan was also moved by Ji Yang's sincerity, especially when she saw him brewing medicine for her.
The two reminisced about the past, and Nan Yan said that she had once helped Ji Yang with his heart ailment, out of not just gratitude, but also mutual support and care. Hearing this, Ji Yang was delighted and promised that even if he was not the original Ji Yang, he would no longer trouble Nan Yan.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhan Ting, who had drunkenly returned home, was about to write a poem when he was caught red-handed by Mu Guang Han, sobering him up.
It turned out that Mu Zhan Ting's fiancée, Yun Nian, had already arrived in the Dragon Capital, and she was a woman, which shocked Mu Zhan Ting.
Ji Yang was drinking in the pavilion, and Yuan Feng, noticing his good mood, gave him advice on how to thank the girl. Yuan Feng mentioned the legend of the whale boat, saying that the scales of the "Floating Carp" fish that would appear that night could bring good luck.
Although Ji Yang didn't believe it, he followed the girls to try to get the scales, and he actually managed to obtain them. Seeing this, Senluo was furious, saying that Ji Yang was protecting Nan Yan too much.
The next day, Ji Yang gave the fish scales to Nan Yan, who was delighted. She also told Ji Yang that she had bought the Zhuixinshu (Heart-Piercing Sand) and planned to give it to him before he was fully possessed, just in case.
Not long after, Yin Ya came to visit Nan Yan, and when she saw the fish scales, she became suspicious. Pretending to chat with Yuan Feng, she gathered a lot of information, including the fact that the Blood Phoenix Hairpin was in Ji Yang's possession.
Yin Ya followed Ji Yang to the captain's cabin, only to find the captain already dead. She hurriedly went back to question Nan Yan, but Nan Yan firmly believed that Ji Yang was not the killer and asked Yin Ya to keep it a secret.
