Episode 28 recap: Gu Jin learned that the person who helped him back then was A Yin.
Xiao Fengjun was sitting by the table drinking tea, and Gu Jin looked at her silhouette. Immediately, the image of A Yin appeared in his mind, and he concluded that she was A Yin. In order to get closer to Xiao Fengjun, Gu Jin started making green bean cakes, which were A Yin's favorite. Seeing Gu Jin busy with it, Xiao Fengjun coldly told him that no one likes such things and asked him to return to Qingchi Palace as soon as possible. When Gu Jin used the excuse of promising Feng Yuan to delay his departure, Xiao Fengjun sarcastically taunted him and then walked away.
Seeing that A Yu was unharmed, Gu Jin felt relieved. Just then, Hong Chou suddenly came and told him about Xiao Fengjun's birth, hoping that he would prepare a congratulatory gift and go to congratulate her. However, Gu Jin was unwilling to go. A thousand years ago, Hong Chou wanted Gu Jin to marry Xiao Fengjun, as she believed that only Xiao Fengjun was worthy of Gu Jin. Seeing Gu Jin's reluctance to go, she took matters into her own hands, prepared a generous gift, and went to Wutong Island to propose on behalf of Gu Jin.
After Xiao Fengjun was born, Feng Yuan wanted to transfer the management rights of the Phoenix Clan and the Immortal Sect to him. Soon, she would ascend to become a divine being. However, Xiao Fengjun was unwilling to accept the responsibility. She told Feng Yuan that she wanted to adapt to her current life first and then consider other matters. Feng Yuan didn't force her, but urged her to adapt quickly. Originally, Feng Yuan allowed Hua Shu to become the temporary Emperor as a favor to Lan Feng. However, Hua Shu's performance was unsatisfactory, so Feng Yuan planned to hold a competition to select a capable successor. In other words, she wanted Xiao Fengjun to take that position.
News of this reached Hua Shu's ears, and she immediately guessed Feng Yuan's intentions. She felt extremely dissatisfied and decided to seek Gu Jin's help. In a few days, it would be Gu Jin's birthday, and Hua Shu decided to throw a birthday banquet for him to strengthen their relationship.
The maidservant knew Gu Jin's temperament and worried that he would refuse, but Hua Shu knew Gu Jin's weakness and how to make him agree. Persuaded by Qing Lin, Hong Yi finally agreed to become the King of the Demon Clan. A Yin learned about this and wanted to send Hong Yi a congratulatory gift, but Feng Ming, as the clan leader, came to stop her because there were still grudges between the Immortal Clan and the Demon Clan, despite the ceasefire agreement. Helpless, A Yin sent a congratulatory gift in her own name.
Furthermore, Yan Shuang's birthday was approaching, and A Yin prepared a set of gifts for her as well. The Eagle King wanted to persuade Yan Shuang to take his position, but Yan Shuang refused. He also wanted to propose to Hong Yi on behalf of Yan Shuang, but Yan Shuang knew that Hong Yi still had feelings for A Yin, so she didn't let her father go.
Hong Chou arrived at Wutong Island with a gift and learned that she was there to propose marriage on behalf of Gu Jin to Xiao Fengjun. In Feng Yuan's eyes, this marriage was a match made in heaven, so she agreed on behalf of Xiao Fengjun. Meanwhile, Hong Yi was looking at the gift sent by Xiao Fengjun when he heard the news that Gu Jin was going to marry her. He couldn't sit still and decided to teach Gu Jin a lesson on behalf of A Yin.
Hong Yi stormed into Qingchi Palace, scolding Gu Jin as he entered. When Hong Chou tried to stop him, he pushed her aside. Gu Jin heard Hong Yi's insults and asked Hong Chou if it was true. Hong Chou didn't hide it from him and confirmed the news, mentioning that Xiao Fengjun and Gu Jin were a perfect match. A Yin scolded Hong Chou for her actions and decided to go to Wutong Island to call off the marriage.
Gu Jin went to Wutong Island and expressed his thoughts to Feng Yuan. As Gu Jin had grown up under Feng Yuan's care, she loved him dearly. After hearing Gu Jin's request, Feng Yuan put forward two conditions. First, the proposal to end the marriage must come from Wutong Island to avoid tarnishing Xiao Fengjun's reputation. Second, Gu Jin had to work as a menial laborer on Wutong Island for a month.
Without hesitation, Gu Jin agreed to Feng Yuan's conditions. While Xiao Fengjun was sitting by the table drinking tea, Gu Jin, who was sweeping the floor, noticed her silhouette and realized that she resembled A Yin. To confirm his thoughts, Gu Jin started making green bean cakes, A Yin's favorite.
Seeing Gu Jin busy with the cakes, Xiao Fengjun coldly told him that no one likes them and asked him to return to Qingchi Palace as soon as possible. When Gu Jin used the excuse of promising Feng Yuan to delay his departure, she sarcastically taunted him before walking away. Hua Shu came to Wutong Island, but Xiao Fengjun avoided her. So she found Gu Jin and mentioned the idea of throwing a birthday banquet. Hua Shu claimed that it would promote peace between the immortal and demon realms, and Gu Jin didn't oppose the idea.
Ling Feng pretended to have a chance encounter and deliberately approached Xiao Fengjun, but she was knocked down by Xiao Fengjun's lightning spell. Through their conversation, Gu Jin learned that Xiao Fengjun was the one who helped him teach Ling Feng a lesson, not Hua Shu.
