Forsaking WangQuan legacy and accepting DongFang legacy

Quan JingTing gets QingTong in front of the alliance wanting her to confess to an affair with the soldier. She boldly claims she was an agent for spider cave and stole the sword on her own. She said she didn’t even know the soldier much less have an affair. I appreciated her honesty about the doings of JingTing rang more and more true with each bolt he sent her way. These hypocrites knew it was true and still want to run to him for guidance. HongYe demands to see FuGui who is making his way by himself. Disciple Feng got a message to him and he boldly makes his way inside. They clear a broad path for him. This episode really gets your heart racing watching the battles. These cowardly men only fight en masse and still he resound,y beats them. HongYe magnanimously offers him the choice to take his sword, kill the demon and all will be forgotten. FuGui comes back with asking if he only married his mother for her flame to create a soldier? That got under his skin. 😝 FuGui sees it is a losing battle to get his father’s understanding, so he tells his dad that the world is not just for humans or demons but all living things. And continues with pointing out that contradicts his father;s path so they need to part ways. He takes the WangQuan sword and hurls it through their plaque to slay demons better. He picks up QingTong and makes his way out. The uncle demands receipts for his training and a thousand swords fall from the sky. When they want to separate him from the demon, he lets them know he is still alive and that wasn’t happening. Jingting still wants to assert himself and he uses his dragon sword to stab FuGui in the back. Here I am wondering if the dragon that flew away was released from the sword thanks to FuGui;s blood. I am hoping that is what happened. His mother;s wrath now gives him the divine flame and inverses his colors. Hair is now white and clothing black. It looks good on him. HongYe has the nerve to ask him if he is in a killing spree and prevents him from taking out worthless JingTing. Lightning should have struck him because the only entity doing killing sprees was the alliance he wants to keep intact. Disciple Feng has seen true love in action and she now understands the path FuGui is in and sees the rightness of it. She is open mouthed gobsmacked at the ridiculous charges of the men around her and their mob mentality to kill the soldier they created. Oooh he can forge any weapon with that fire so we can;t have that.😝🙄Here I take back any grumbling about the butler. He was the father figure that stood up for FuGui and did the right thing. Disciple Feng joined him. They were the only two capable of making a rational decision. HuaiZhu left her son an out option and HongYe let him take it. He wondered if she protected them with her flame. Damn right she did. His only weakness is having WangQuan blood. His mother’s can burn the impurities away. 😝JingTing still can’t register what a pathetic vengeful man he is. He is welcome to his alliance and fan club. They deserve whatever comes their way. It will not be an easy road for this pair, but the alliance does not get its way today. 😝 This was an exceptional episode. It was on point in every detail and you felt the injustice of it all and cheered when the flame sword came out. This was so well done I can’t praise it enough. This drama is worth the watch whether or not you have seen the first two installments.

When Love Meets Forensics A Crime BL Masterpiece

I am completely speechless. Since The Sign in 2023, there hasn’t been a proper police BL series, and finally we have one that brings everything I love together, police, crime, and forensic investigation. Goddess Bless You from Death is an absolute masterpiece. Even better, both Pavel and Pooh return and deliver such incredible performances that I couldn’t look away for a second.This series is everything I have ever wanted in a BL. The crime scenes are chilling, the ghosts are terrifying, and every moment keeps me on edge. The pacing is sharp, the music builds tension perfectly, and the visuals are dark and cinematic. It captures the essence of mystery and horror while still giving space for emotion and connection.Pavel shines as Officer Singha, the tough but rational cop, while Pooh as Thup brings depth and vulnerability through his ability to see ghosts. Their chemistry feels magnetic, growing stronger with each encounter, and I cannot wait to see their relationship evolve.This is easily one of my favorite BLs of the year. It is thrilling, emotional, and beautifully made. My Saturdays are set from now until January 2026.

Dreams and nightmares

ZhangQi saves the village by literally using his lifeblood to make the talismans. His last request is for FuGui to activate them. FuGui honors the request and the tree erupts with real peach blossoms. Qi sees the beautiful sight and rejoices that he has saved a home for a remnant group. QingTing is taking those that cannot bear to stay to the deer village. FuGui returns home and HongYe is angered that ZhangQi is not with him. He is furious when he rebukes his son for saving demons in the village and he gives 40 lashes to get FuGui to admit he was wrong in sparing innocent life. FuGui is starting to come into his own with better understanding of what the responsibilities are to being a blade. The YiQi alliance have already made plans to make him a mindless weapon with no conscience. They want to make him literally a weapon of their bidding. Even HongYe doesn’t agree with this but he cannot be shamed into lightening the punishment of his son. He is leaving FuGui to hang until he gives in. They have given HongYe til sunset the next day before the alliance takes over. HuaiZhu would be outraged at the hypocrisy of denouncing a peaceful village and killing any who want it to exist. Quan JingTing has been assisted in getting the dragon spine sword to begrudgingly accept him. He is so like RenFeng that it makes me disgusted..😝He now envisions himself at the head of the alliance and those touting kill the demons want to bow the knee to the black fox. The irony is overwhelming.😝 JingTing is killing the demons that FuGui refused to kill and has discovered QingTong. I am figuring this will be his angle to try to turn FuGui. I would like to see all of the alliance turned to dust and RuMu and QuZhuo the only ones left. These two might be truly human. There is no WangQuan legacy that Fu Gui should want to support. Zongye has succeeded in diminishing the best of them a second time. There is nothing about him to brag about except that his son managed to survive in spite of him. He and RuMu have that in common. These two will hopefully change the face of the alliance or eradicate it and do the world a favor.😝 12581 is renting a home for him and QingTing if she can live long enough to get there. Hopefully there will be a sibling reunion th right now, the odds are against her.

Paradise lost

QingLi was mesmerizingly beautiful as she called the butterflies to give living fairy lights to the peach tree. The demons and humans praying together for a peaceful coexistence where both species could live their dreams. FuGui notices the deer demon trying to escape and follows him into the woods. As he battles, he realizes the demon is a decoy and distraction. He arrives to find the villagers under webbing and ZhangQi has been taken over because of a pill.They battle in a place of snow where the tree and butterfly reveal their true selves. QingLi is a ghost faced moth and she and the deer demon passed parasite eggs that look like seeds promising the villagers beautiful flowers. The parasites absorb their essence and becomes the medicine that WangJuang elder was selling. FuGui knew how to make Qi literally cough out the pill after his experience with RuMu. Qi is devastated as he hears the one he loved mock the very idea he held most dear. A village where demons and humans could live happily with no killing. He killed her himself because there was no other option for the vile deceit and death she caused. She planned for the entire village to be gone, the essences refined into pills and Qi her demon puppet by her side. This was her real dream. They came back from the snow place to bury the dead. Qi knows his blood will kill the tree and he purges it from the village. I am not sure if he makes the attempt to salvage his dream, but he does make sure there is no more death by parasites and that the production of the evil drug is forever destroyed in the village that was a paradise just yesterday. While ZhangQi is handling the funerals FuGui gives QingTong her first sword called dust seeker. He teaches her the final stage of the sword technique and they agree to follow their individual paths for now with the hope fate might let them travel together as she had once dreamed for him. It is such a beautiful and bittersweet moment. This episode was so poignant as innocent dreams were turned into nightmares and the most beautiful of them had the ugliest intentions. I am hoping the black blade does not become like HongYe, but finds his way through to the other side to continue with the peaceful dream he holds dear. But each generation has struggled with the same question. Can humans and demons truly coexist in a peaceful environment? I think Fu Gui and QingTong are hoping they can.

The mysterious Phoenix flower

Quan Jingting will be helped to absorb the dragon spine sword with the promise to push the soldier to the dark at the appropriate time. FuGui and QingTong arrive at Peach village where she is entranced with humans and demons living together peacefully. They have a misadventure with a raccoon dog demon who locks them in the forest with a poisoned fog. Qingtong reacts to the poison and tells FuGui the duckling all the hopes and fears she has for FuGui the soldier. It is quite sweet and he quietly listens to her.🥰 When they finally get to Mr Zhang’s house he and Fu Gui have a battle of strength to see if Mr Zhang will comply. Since he lost he answered Fu Gui’s questions but had no clue about the medicine made in his village. As they look around there is a flower blooming that seems to have an effect on those that breathe the pollen in. FuGui notices the middle of all the flowers has disappeared and the deer demon is sharing the seeds to plant more. He is the most suspicious candidate for now. QingTong wants to know how QingLi and Mr Zhang met. Their story seems very similar to the soldier and spider demon. 🥰They are waiting to celebrated the peach blossoms and for the butterfly demon to reveal how she persuaded the demons to coexist peacefully with humans. They talk briefly about the Phoenix flower that has Fu Gui’s attention. This town appears very peaceful and idyllic, but something is eerie about the Phoenix flowers and the deer demon that distributes them.

Loyalty

Disciple Feng again thinks she is helping with Qingtong. She can’t trust her because she is a demon. Qingtong doesn’t realize she is healed and is told she has three days. She wants to make him the picture of the pavilion on Huai river. She warns Qingtong that she will only cause trouble for FuGui and she will report the demon to the master. A candid conversation between the cousins confirms that she and FenGui should part ways. HongYe has FuGui report in so he can be scolded strongly for not killing the spider demons and for going there without permission. RuMu tries to lighten things up by reminding him that FuGui dealt with the master without killing innocents. HongYe was far from happy with this report and told RuMu to shut up and stay out of the conversation. Jingting wants the sword and will sell his soul to get it. He wants to lead the alliance and feed the sword WangQuan blood. His loyal disciple who promised to stay with him and see he got out safely was sacrificed so the sword would appear. The black fox messenger warned him the cost to his person for accepting it into his body and Qingtong basically said bring it on. HongYe’s spies have found out where the medicine was made — a rare city where humans and demons reside. He is known as the black sword in the alliance. He is planning on relinquishing his sword the next day and live peacefully. Fu Gui has been given the job of escorting him. I like the butler, but sometimes it is tiresome for him to give those fatherly speeches excusing HongYe of his choices with his son. For all the times HongYe has been a disappointment, I kinda grit my teeth when he tells FuGui to fulfill his task and not disappoint his father again. This alliance is more evil than the demons they want killed. They remove humanity from themselves and pat themselves on the back at how the world is a better place because they control it.😝The black sword takes after his father and is a decent person. This is who Hongye should be like. Instead they are going to find a way to blame him for the medicine even tho Hongye says he is not. But this is also why he wants Fu Gui to guard him. Fu Gui has asked Qingtong to accompany him and Qingtong has made sure Disciple Feng knows she is leaving with no plans to return.
