Episode 14 recap: Gu Jin wants to redefine the master-servant relationship with A Yin.
Ever since Gu Jin lost his feelings, he has become particularly distant and indifferent towards A Yin. Although they had agreed to go to the Yan Tian Temple to establish their bond, Gu Jin suddenly broke the appointment, leaving A Yin confused and saddened. Hong Chou privately approached A Yin and revealed Gu Jin's true identity to her. Hong Chou explained that Gu Jin is the only son of the Yihe True God and the Imperial Consort True God, and he is a true god who overlooks all living beings in the Three Realms. Hong Chou questioned how he could have fallen in love with someone like A Yin, a lowly hundred-year-old water condensing beast.
A Yin argued against Hong Chou, stating that even though the lifespan of water condensing beasts is short, it doesn't make them lowly. Later, A Yin learned from Xian Shan that Gu Jin had gone to the Heavenly Palace without bidding her farewell, clearly avoiding her intentionally. Xian Shan conveyed Gu Jin's message, expressing his hope that A Yin takes good care of herself. A Yin was deeply saddened by this.
Early in the morning, Hong Yi accompanied A Yin to bid farewell to Gu Jin and Yan Shuang. Gu Jin felt reluctant to part ways and didn't know how to retain A Yin. He entrusted Hong Yi with information about A Yin's preferences and gave him special instructions. While they were talking, the Three Lives Stone rolled down the stairs and fled. The four of them hurriedly pursued it and discovered that the stone had transformed into the form of a woman. She explained that in order to connect her own red thread and her beloved's, she needed to facilitate one thousand matches.
Currently, only the last two matches were missing. The Three Lives Stone arranged for Gu Jin and A Yin to be a couple, and Hong Yi and Yan Shuang to be another couple. They each received a marriage fruit bracelet, which would mature and grow larger with the affectionate interactions and even jealousy between lovers.
A Yin suddenly realized that her Immortal Record had disappeared. With Yan Shuang's company, she searched everywhere, and Gu Jin and Hong Yi also helped with the search. Gu Jin unexpectedly found the Immortal Record and saw Hong Yi's name, which didn't surprise him but still made him feel a bit sour.
After Gu Jin calmly thought about it, he noticed some alterations on the record. As he returned, he saw A Yin angrily accusing Hong Yi, and he guessed that his own name was originally written on it. This revelation improved his mood. On the other hand, when Hong Yi and Yan Shuang were on a date, Hong Yi was too focused on buying things A Yin liked, causing Yan Shuang to feel sour and jealous. When she saw the changes in the marriage fruit, she realized her own feelings for Hong Yi.
While passing by a pastry shop, Yan Shuang stopped and reminisced about the cloud slice cake her mother used to make. Hong Yi empathized with her and planned to buy the cake with the bracelet that Hong Ruo had sold to him. However, Yan Shuang refused his offer. Knowing that the bracelet was precious to Hong Yi and unable to overcome her inner struggle, she asked him to give her the bracelet so she could give it to him instead. This gesture increased Hong Yi's fondness for her.
Gu Jin took A Yin to the marketplace for a stroll and bought her sugar-coated haws. He held her hand as they walked.
Under the Tree of Fate, Gu Jin and A Yin hung locks engraved with each other's names. A Yin was curious when she saw Gu Jin throw away the keys, but Gu Jin assured her that from now on, they were completely locked together.
A Yin liked the prize bamboo dragonfly from the noodle shop, and Gu Jin wanted to help her win it. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. Hong Ruo infused half of her demonic power into a bracelet, but due to the presence of the God-slaying Flower, she was overpowered and easily defeated by Qing Lin, taking over Hong Ruo's body.
Lin Mo had no idea that the person in front of him was Qing Lin. Qing Lin approached Lin Mo using Hong Ruo's body, no longer as cold as before, and proposed to reconcile with him, which pleasantly surprised Lin Mo. At the same time, Feng Ming sent a secret letter to the Immortal Realm, informing Emperor Lan Feng about the whereabouts of the woman hiding in the mortal world.
Hong Chou had been keeping an eye on Gu Jin and recently discovered that Gu Jin was in a crisis, with A Yin being the biggest variable. Hong Chou decided to kill A Yin to eliminate the future threat. Hong Shan and Hong Zhu tried to persuade Hong Chou not to kill innocents and promised to strengthen Gu Jin's celestial veins, ensuring his safety.
After a whole day, the marriage fruit of Gu Jin and A Yin had undergone significant changes, but the marriage fruit of Hong Yi and Yan Shuang had yet to mature. To expedite the task, the Three Lives Stone came up with a plan for them to pretend to be married. On their wedding night, Gu Jin passionately confessed his love to A Yin, and they cleared up their misunderstandings, deepening their relationship.
Yan Shuang, wearing a red veil, prepared to marry Hong Yi but accidentally stepped on her dress. They kissed each other without realizing it. Hong Yi stood frozen in place, blushing and unaware that it was his first kiss. In the end, both couples completed the wedding ceremony, and their marriage fruits showed progress. The Three Lives Stone couldn't wait to check the marriage registry and found that a couple had been separated, and their lives were in danger. It turned out to be Hong Zhu and Wan Yue.
Because Hong Zhu violated the rules of the Immortal Realm by falling in love with a mortal woman and attempting to transfer half of his celestial power to her so she could become an immortal and enjoy eternal life, Emperor Lan Feng learned of this and ordered the Four Heavenly Lords to punish Hong Zhu. Hong Zhu endured forty-nine heavenly lightning tribulations on the Execution Platform. The others rushed to plead for mercy on Hong Zhu's behalf, and Hong Shan and Gu Jin were even willing to share the punishment. Seeing this, Hong Zhu felt remorse and decided to bear the remaining tribulations herself.
