Novoland: The Castle in the Sky Episode 22

ep 22 spoilers ahead

1.Ling'er admits to Tianjun that her heart belongs to Tianyi and that she cannot return his feelings. Essentially we learn that he has an eroding bone nail in him (that was what Jishu placed in him to make him feel unbearable pain when he has strong feelings for Ling'er) Yu tells Tianjun to stay away from Ling'er because since he cannot control his feelings it will kill him

2.Yu tells Tianjun a cautionary tale--that even though he supports their love (he hates Tianyi) he nevertheless doesn't believe Tianjun can make her return his feelings. Forced love is wrong (recall, his sister suffered because of this--she was a victim of someone forcing their love on her and also tried to force her love on another)

3.The regent essentially accepts that Ling'er and Tianyi are soulmates and pities him because he has a difficult to choice to make--he could lose his throne or lose his lover (i.e. throne probs via war, lover if he uses her goddess powers? i think i am not sure about this)

4.Meanwhile Yu is trying to help Tianjun move the bone nail...Tianjun confesses to Yu that he is willing to chance death if he can't love Ling'er...

5.After it is removed Yu tells Tianjun that the instructions say he cannot get up for 3 hrs and no one will know what happens if he does get up...so of course the regent shows up to take Ling'er. And Tianjun gets up. Tianjun falls over, drops the 'yang' amulet and it shows that Tianyi is the true love (i.e.he awakens)

6.Tianjun tries to kill Tianyi but Ling'er blocks him....(recall, Jushu said that he will only have a chance if he kills the fated lover...) Tianjun says why would she do that, since he is her doom, and she says that even if he is her doom she loves him

7.Yu and Tianjun escape with Ling'er; the regent can't pursue him because Tianyi is incapacitated....General takes him back and Tianyi's body is on fire, it's so hot and he keeps yelling random things...

8.Ling'er is not doing too well either. I do pity the prince because he rejected her because it hurt him to be near her (because of the bone nail) now the wingpeople officials are discussing overthrowing the emperor because he can't grow wings? turns out he can! the emperor has golden wings!

*at this point this drama has gone from predictable to making not a lot of sense. i am just enjoying the ride!
