Episode 2: Destined to Be Emperor of Heaven
In this episode, Camellia HongNing is discovering the celestial dimension where the god of the flower lives (she still hasn't realized that Jing Xiu is the god of flowers). And the funniest part of this episode is when she pulls a giant bell to fall covering her and Jinxiu, as she believes that the flower "goddess" is angry with her, and the flower goddess is "ruthless". And at that time Jinxiu looked half scared, half amused (as if thinking: you don't know. little camellia, that I am the god of flowers). She marvels at all the powers he displays, but does not realize that these powers belong to the god of flowers. HongNIng suffers the persecution and nagging of the other flowers (local girls) and because of this she had to suffer a thunder punishment. The chrysanthemum envoy was in charge of this, but the camellia was thinking that with these rays she could soon achieve immortality, the chrysanthemum envoy soon frustrated her by explaining that these rays are of another kind, and that to ascend immortality it takes thousands of years of cultivation. The queen mother and the father heavenly emperor met in one place, the emperor's platform before three strange shapes in the sky. The emperor wondered what this meant and if it would interfere with Jinxiu's life. He says that Jingxiu was raised to have no feelings and to be an emperor. The queen mother saw with the emperor the golden writing that appeared in the environment, it was another request from Jinxiu to forgive the people of the land, who were without flowers as punishment. (This was because Jinxiu heard from HongNing a plea about the people of the land, who had no flowers to rejoice about, and this could make the people of the land very sad in the journey of life.Another interesting moment of this episode was when HongNing arrived at the moment when Jingxiu was bathing in the heavenly pool. Soon he, very shy, turned into a golden peony tree. But Hongning clung to the tree (even though she heard him in exasperation ask her to leave). She only left when the chrysanthemum envoy shouted from outside angrily for her to leave soon. There was a moment in the episode when she from drinking the colorful wine from Jinxiu's room fell drunk, and then fell asleep and turned into a red flower. Jinxiu took it as a flower to his desk. The maid threw the flower into the teapot. Suddenly, Jinxiu while drinking the tea realized that she was there. She transformed back into a human, frightening the chrysanthemum envoy.There will be a solemn meeting, a flower festival, which takes place every 500 years, and HongNing intends to go there. HongNing in this episode is very objective and faces the other flower girls with her strong opinion, she was punished with those rays because she defended another flower girl who was being whipped. She got in front and said some exasperated things, to the chief girl, a flower (I don't understand much, this character is very intriguing and chases HongNing). My score for this episode is 10.0 (There are these emotional moments that pleased me).I'm going to put this reaction/summary of episode 2 in the episode guide.

The first four episodes are surprisingly lighthearted and hilarious!! I laugh so hard every time the historian chrysanthemums official guy witnesses something with hongning and jinxiu, LMAOOO. He is SO torn between writing the truth and protecting jinxiu's dignity, hahaha.
It's quite delightful, and I'm SO glad that they re-filmed this with Hu Yixuan! It looks good so far, without any obvious flaw of the switching of the actress. And I'm enjoying Hu Yixuan's performance so much. She's such a natural cutie. And I'm quite enjoying Liu Xueyi's exasperated expressions and just being so utterly startled by her actions and just being so flustered, lol. It's so funny and endearing.
There is going to be heartbreak later, I know it, but this has been so fun so far. 😆
