The Sun in the Dark Episode 20

Bai Xiao Ying takes Ye Chen Yuan to look at old paintings, trying to jog his memory, but he scribbles on them haphazardly like a child, then suddenly grabs her by the throat, intent on killing her. Yun Ya urges her to let go, saying Ye Chen Yuan is no longer the man he once was, but Bai Xiao Ying remains convinced that love can awaken him. Day after day, she allows him to drink her blood, regardless of the harm it causes, and refuses to give up even after he crushes the flowers she picked for him. Ye Chen Yuan occasionally shows faint signs of response—clumsily offering her flowers or draping a cloak over her—which reignites Bai Xiao Ying’s hope. However, Yun Di secretly dispatches a masked assassin to kill Ye Chen Yuan; when Bai Xiao Ying uncovers the plot, the two are torn apart forever. By this point, Bai Xiao Ying’s mind was gradually unraveling. While she proclaimed compassion for all living beings, she simultaneously brutalized those who disobeyed her, even going so far as to kill a disciple of the Xi Men Sect right before Ye Chen Yuan’s eyes to force everyone to take the potion. Yun Di witnessed her twisted transformation, unable to distinguish truth from falsehood, as their former bond teetered on the brink of collapse amid the intertwined love and hatred of the Demon Realm.
