Episode 12 recap: Hong Ruo was possessed by Qinglin.
Gu Jin handed a sugar-coated hawthorn to A Yin. Seeing A Yin's puzzled expression, he told her what this thing is called in the mortal world and explained the process of making it. When A Yin was eating the sugar-coated hawthorn, he intentionally held her hand. Gu Jin gave A Yin a pair of matching lock as a symbol of their unity, and they tied the lock to the wishing tree. Afterward, Gu Jin threw the key into the valley, intending for the two of them to be forever locked together.
Xianzhu went to investigate the immortal veins and unexpectedly saw Feng Ming. Surprised that Feng Ming could approach the immortal veins, Xianzhu walked over to investigate. It was then discovered that the protective aura from the Heavenly Umbrella had disappeared. Xianzhu promptly informed Xianshan about this, and they decided, along with Xianzhu and five other senior disciples with strong magical powers, to ignite the Five Divine Lamps to reinforce the immortal veins. Feng Ming, in a surprising turn of events, discovered that Xianzhu had violated the immortal rules by falling in love with a mortal woman. Determined to punish him, Feng Ming sought to prevent Dazeshan from reinforcing the immortal veins.
Hong Yi and A Yin came to bid farewell to Gu Jin and Yan Shuang. Gu Jin was unsure of how to retain A Yin by his side when suddenly the Three Lives Stone he held slipped from his hand and rolled onto the street. Several people chased after the stone and arrived at a bridge, where they discovered that the Three Lives Stone had transformed into a beautiful woman.
Gu Jin intended to take the Three Lives Stone back to the Youming Realm, but she refused to return. She told Gu Jin that she had escaped from the Youming Realm in order to fulfill a mission. The Youming King had promised her that if she could bring together one thousand couples, he would entrust her with the role of a matchmaker. Now, only two couples remained to be matched, and she looked meaningfully at Gu Jin and the others as she spoke.
In order to help the Three Lives Stone complete her mission, Gu Jin and the others decided to follow her instructions. According to the Three Lives Stone, Gu Jin and A Yin would become a couple, while Hong Yi and Yan Shuang would form another couple. As part of the mission, the Three Lives Stone gave each person a bracelet as a task prop. Any intimate actions or changes in emotions, such as jealousy, between the two couples would cause the bracelets to increase in energy and glow brighter.
Hong Yi didn't want A Yin and Gu Jin to become a couple, so he stole A Yin's lover's notebook and crossed out Gu Jin's name, replacing it with his own. However, when Gu Jin saw the notebook and noticed the alterations, he realized that A Yin had feelings for him. Consequently, he began a sincere emotional exchange with A Yin.
Gu Jin handed a sugar-coated hawthorn to A Yin, and while she was eating it, he intentionally held her hand.
Later, Gu Jin took A Yin and they exchanged a pair of matching lock, tying it to the wishing tree. Afterward, Gu Jin threw the key into the valley, intending for them to be forever locked together.
In Yan Shuang's interactions with Hong Yi, she noticed that Hong Yi was always thinking about A Yin. She became angry and accused him of being fickle. When she saw her bracelet suddenly enlarge, she realized that she was feeling jealous. In order to improve her relationship with Hong Yi, Yan Shuang bought some cloud cake and shared the story of her childhood when her mother made cloud cake for her. They also talked about Hong Ruo, and Yan Shuang told Hong Yi that the bracelet Hong Ruo gave him was very precious, advising him to treat his sister well.
Hong Ruo received a message from Lin Mo and realized that she had misunderstood him. They arranged to meet in the tranquil valley. After sending the message to Lin Mo, Hong Ruo tried to remove the Shishen flower from her body but was unsuccessful. At that moment, Qinglin suddenly appeared, and Hong Ruo asked her how she had escaped from hell. Qinglin bluntly replied that she had used Hong Yi's power. She tried to possess Hong Ruo, but Hong Ruo transformed into the nine-tailed Hong Yi and attempted to destroy her own body to prevent Qinglin from succeeding. However, Qinglin used her charm to control her.
When Lin Mo arrived, unaware that Hong Ruo had been possessed, she noticed that Hong Ruo's attitude towards her had changed and was no longer as cold as before. She excitedly held his hand. To expedite Gu Jin and the others' completion of the mission, the Three Lives Stone suggested a fake marriage. After spending the night together, Gu Jin and A Yin's feelings for each other deepened.
Hong Chou had been observing Gu Jin and noticed that something was off with his feelings for A Yin. She went to Daze Mountain to question Xianzhu about the situation. Xianzhu then learned that the master-servant contract had become invalid and assured Hong Chou that Gu Jin couldn't possibly have genuine feelings for A Yin.
After Hong Chou left, Xianzhu and the others started reinforcing the immortal veins. However, Lan Feng Emperor suddenly sent someone to inform them that Xianzhu had violated the immortal rules and had Xianzhu taken away. The wedding night between Gu Jin, A Yin, and the others concluded, but the Three Lives Stone's mission was not yet completed. Upon careful inspection, the Three Lives Stone discovered that a pair she had matched with her red thread had been separated. Gu Jin saw Xianzhu's name and realized that the separated couple was Xianzhu. Upon learning that Xianzhu was undergoing heavenly punishment, Gu Jin and A Yin hurriedly rushed to her.
