Knowing the god of flowers. The birth of a Camellia.
Episode 1:
The first episode is great. The musical opening with the images of the characters is very beautiful. These beautiful flowers that appear all the time captivate me. I liked the changes that were made to the relationship between the characters, for example: Kulum here is the brother of Jinxiu (the flower god). I didn't understand that moment of the two stars shining in the sky, which should be only one, because it indicates who will be the next emperor. Hongning is a fun and sweet character. Hu Yi Xuan plays her very well. Jinxiu, the god of the flower, played by Liu Xue Yi is majestic and handsome. Each time it appears the petals float in the air (this is so majestic). The way he appears and disappears is magical. JinXiu's interaction with his younger brother is interesting. Jing Xiu, since he was a child, planted this camellia, watered it, took care of it, there was a spiritual connection between the two. When the emperor, JinXiu's father, destroyed the flower (in front of the adult Jinxiu), it was so sad, you could see the tears in the corners of his eyes. He had already been captivated by the flower (even more), because this Camellia is very attached to him. When Kulun used the flower power for her to bloom, she did not obey, as she only obeys Jinxiu's command. This is beautiful and interesting. Jinxiu sends her to earth to protect her, he revived her, and he gave her the power of his finger, and so her name is Hong Ning. A bright mark appears on Jingxiu's forehead when he revived the camellia that his father emperor destroyed. Jinxiu sent her to earth, and there she received the heavenly thunder becoming a human. She met several friends there.
Jinxiu commanding the flowers, each task and law delegated to the flowers, is interesting. He sits on his throne, imposing, and very serious. It's interesting, this flower god, it looks so cold. But he's sweet and sentimental with Hongning.
Jinxiu descended to earth and met Hongning. He gave her a new outfit, as she had gotten wet in the lake. Jinxiu took her to the heavenly dimension. And there, she still didn't understand that this young man with elegant clothes and a unique face is the king of flowers. The episode ends when HongNing manages to climb to the place where the god of flowers lives and then she discovers that Jinxiu, the handsome young man with white clothes, is the god of flowers.
My episode rating: 10.0 I loved the episode.

PS:

EP1: could someone explain the part with the bone extraction and the mark appearing on the head of the ML?

    It's just his mark of Divinity basically. Immortals need an Immortal bone to cultivate and hers was all destroyed so he gave her part of his basically so she wouldn't die

    Thank you for the valuable insight.

    Remember the ML's dad destroyed the flower because the ML cares too much about it. But the father raised his son to be without affection. So, the ML brought the dead plant back to his palace and revived it with a bone from his finger. For it to survive, he sent it away, and it fell into the Pixie land. The mortals were also suffering a ten-year winter punishment at that time.

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.

Jina  

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. 😆

Episode 3: HongNing's determination. But what is her real purpose ?

In this episode we find Hong Ning day by day making more mistakes and being forced to be punished on the lightning plataform. (I didn't know that every day she has to reach the payment of 97 rays). The chrysanthemum officer advised her to give up and fall into the mortal world, so she would suffer less, but she didn't accept it, as characteristic of HongNing, she thinks she is strong enough to endure everything. The chrysanthemum officer even seems to have taken pity on her and even helped her get an entry document for the flower festival that takes place every 500 years. I was a little doubtful if she doesn't know that Jinxiu is the king of flowers or if she's pretending not to know. For at a moment in front of Jinxiu she pretended to bow as king to the chrysanthemum officer and the official saying: I am not the king. And the next time, in another situation, she didn't treat the chrysanthemum official as if he were the king. Hong Hing went digging plants (the plants that were planted by Jinxiu). This was a punishment from the senior flower girl, but Hong Ning thought he could pull it off. When she dug up the red plant, the chrysanthemum officer arrived complaining about it, and she didn't realize that the flower magically reimplanted itself on its own again.

The son of a king from another kingdom (a blue kingdom) was being punished in a place in the kingdom of Jinxiu (because the kingdom of Jinxiu commands all kingdoms). When he saw this young fox boy being punished, Jinxiu intervened and said that not being born with nine tails is not a crime, let him be released, the young man was grateful, but remained sad (because he thought: where am I going?). HongNing put on her new outfit so she could train with the other flowers. Jinxiu found her and realized that the clothes were clumsy and used (his power again) to repair Hong Ning's clothes (after all, he is the king of flowers, he takes care of flowers. Isn't that right? And this flower in particular). Jinxiu was bothered by HongNing's poorly painted eyebrows and he decided to do this task himself. Their eyes met. In this episode again HongNing is conveniently invasive in touching Jinxiu, though he is shown to be seemingly bothered, what it seems is that he is increasingly affected by HongNing. The girl, who is Jinxiu's real suitor, is from the blue realm, and she talked about her brother who is a bastard to them, due to having only 3 fox tails. The emperor of the blue kingdom told her that she needs to find a way to marry the king of flowers, and if she succeeds in that, there is a precious item of the blue kingdom that he will give her, but she complained that it is a very precious item of the kingdom that should not be used like this.

When Hong Ning and Jinxiu were solving the problem of the eyebrows, very close, the hidden chrysanthemum officer was about to write, when Jinxiu noticed him and the officer ran away almost stumbling on the stairs.

There is a moment in this episode that shows Jinxiu's brother walking in a somewhat arrogant way and with a villainous look, he makes a small blue stone disappear (I didn't understand this scene). Jinxiu talked to his brother warmly, and as an older brother asked him to sit up straight in the chair. (The scene in another episode in which two stars in the sky are mentioned, which means (only one should be) signifies the destiny of being emperor. (I was wondering that it could be that at the end of the story when Jinxiu becomes a mortal for Hong Ning, then Jinxiu's brother should take the place of this emperor's fate. (but we'll wait and see.....).

My score for this episode is still 10.0 because I think the pacing is perfect, and the facts coherent. And it's such an enjoyable drama to watch.

I'm going to put this reaction/review in the episode guide with my episode 3 rating.
