Episode 23 recap: Nine-tailed fox transmitted the news of the marriage to Changqing.
Yaner forced Changqing to marry her, claiming that they were destined for each other. Even though Yingying knew that Changqing would not marry her, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken as Changqing didn't even remember who she was. Yingying silently observed every move Changqing made, looking at his familiar yet unfamiliar figure, feeling immense pain. No matter what she did, he couldn't recall who Yingying was. Yingying followed her master all the way until nightfall when she was alone, looking at the hairpin her master had given her. Unable to bear it any longer, she slowly unraveled the red thread and discovered that the hairpin was broken.
Unable to resist reminiscing about their past moments together, Yingying felt deeply saddened by the beauty of their relationship. Yingying returned to the heavens and resumed her carefree divine life, continuously drinking alcohol. Fortunately, Yue Lao stopped her and revealed the truth to Yingying. It turned out that Yingying was the Red Phoenix Star and Changqing was the Heavenly Bliss Star. Only when they fulfilled their destined fate could these two stars return to their rightful positions. Yingying looked at everything in the mortal world, unsure of what to do.
However, Yingying didn't even know who she was, so how could she break the curse of heartlessness? She had lost a soul and a spirit, forever unable to shed tears. Only her tears could break the curse of heartlessness. Yingying was filled with confusion, wondering if there was no other way. The fox demon feared the reunion of the two stars the most, as it would ruin her plans. She wanted to rule the mortal world and turn it into a loveless purgatory.
Changqing and the fox demon were performing a ceremony to pay respects to heaven and earth when Yingying burst in through the door.
