Kui Mulang informs Liu Jun that qi pa thinks of him as a shadow guard of Daxia because of the badge they had appropriated earlier.

From all the running around the city, Qi pa has obtained a rough idea about it's layout and has cleverly drawn a map.

Qi pa needs meat in her diet.A morose qi pa says, "Beast clan is really against me everywhere."Kui Mulang gets a lot of complains from people whose property qi pa damaged while trying to escape Hu Die. Kui Mulang orders Liu jun to compensate everyone from his private treasury... He will take full responsibility of qi pa's actions. According to their plan, Liu jun takes kui Mulang to qi pa's palace and introduces him as Li xiong who will be qi pa's guard. Qi pa who believes him to be her guard from Daxia welcomes his presence. Li xiong trying to form a camaraderie with qi pa shows her the "exit token" that would allow qi pa accompanied by Li xiong to leave the palace and roam the city. To Li xiong exasperation, qi pa has drawn quite an accurate map of city's defense in order to enable her escape. (Hapless qi pa always derails her escape plans by discussing them with Li xiong, who takes counter measures to stop them) While discussing escape strategy, qi pa's stomach growls in hunger. Li xiong goes to arrange some meat for her. At night, qi pa is tossing and turning, she nostalgically thinks of her home looking at the Durian doll keychain that her niece, xing ping gave her. (this keychain metaphorically would lock in qi pa's sweetheart according to xing ping. Qi pa later gave this to Li xiong. Kui Mulang in episode 26 holds the same keychain in his hand when he overhears xing ping and daxia palace maid's conversation and understands the significance of the gift given by qi pa) Li xiong arrives bearing gift of roast chicken.

Li xiong declines to eat it, apologetic qi pa wipes Li xiong's mouth with her stole... Li xiong's ears flush red in response to the action. Qi pa longs for some wine to accompany good meat. Upon knowing that Beast Clan have low tolerance for wine, a plan suddenly forms in her head to get kui Mulang inebriated to get his cooperation in qi pa's 'mission home'. Qi pa whispers in Li xiong's ear whose heart beat increases at such close proximity, frustrated he gets up from beside her and goes to purchase the wines. (Li xiong is getting allured by qi pa) Qi pa behaving like a professional bartender mixes the wines and prepares cocktail effortlessly... Quoting that it was their ancestral skill which she learned from her mother (probably another reference to her mother's past). Qi pa prepares Li xiong and Hong xiu a glass of mixed drink each, both of them become intoxicated after drinking two glasses. Tipsy, Li xiong hangs onto qi pa who tries to soothe him all the while wondering how a Daxian can get drunk so easily. .. With Liu jun's help qi pa manages to send Li xiong to kui mulang's chamber, Qi pa is charmed by a man who gets drunk after one glass...

This is a roller coaster ride, last episode I was high on emotions, feeling there is a chance between kui mulang and qi pa after their marriage and conversation.. Now we are back to square one... Qi pa rejecting kui mulang and playing tricks on him.I don't know what the screen writer is thinking... Kui mulang and qi pa's relations could have been salvaged during last few episodes but that has been squandered.The way things are going, all the characters are going to be hurt and feel betrayed... Emotional torture is the middle name of most costume chinese dramas.I genuinely want qi pa to fall in love with kui mulang but from the trailers and today's episode it seems writers have different direction in their mind. My sympathy goes to kui mulang because, he is judged on his looks but the character of li xiong is equally pitiable.Episode 14- when li xiong was escorting qi pa back from kui mulang's chamber after the wedding night, everyone was greeting qi pa as 'her highness' and bestowing blessing of happy marriage, li xiong looked so happy because he IS HER HUSBAND.Episode 16- kui mulang can openly take qi pa on a date and everyone gushes over how much he loves the queen... On the other hand during the shopping spree in the episode, li xiong helped qi pa put in her hair pin as a doting husband and everyone looked at him as if he had stepped out of his place as a guard ( i believe there is a special significance of putting the hair pin in a woman's hair by a man in chinese tradition). He looked crestfallen when qi pa tried to give the same hair pin he had put in her hair to hu die.Both kui mulang and li xiong are in a pitiable place due to 'his own' lies and inability to tell qi pa the truth.We are heading for a train wreck, even though trailers and spoilers for next episode show some sweet moments. Hope we dont crash and burn.I really hope the writers have a plan to salvage this some how. Bracing myself for future heart ache.I don't know what the writers are thinking at this point... If I was the writer of this drama and I wanted qi pa to fall in love with li xiong first then I would have made that happen in the beginning of the drama and then separated them to make her fall in love with kui mulang... But the writers made qi pa marry kui mulang first and then have emotional tenderness towards li xiong which is creating a moral dilemma... Even though we know li xiong is a persona of kui mulang, and legal husband of qi pa but because qi pa is not aware of this fact.. Her relationship with li xiong is in grey area.This triangle for two is similar to clark - lois- superman triangle.In near future, qi pa has to know both are one person and accept both sides of him no matter whom she chooses nowPS: I wonder what was the significance of pearl inside qi pa getting illuminated when she was sucking poison from Li xiong's hand..

Wolf whistle for this ethical, foolhardy man who holds on to his beliefs and principles even in the face of death, probably because he has been conditioned to sacrifice his life since he became heir to beast city... Kui mulang will never surrender but will not hesitate to sacrifice his life to uphold his honour... This is the time when kui mulang needs qipa to save him from his nobility and self sacrifice. Qipa quickly realises their futile position and makes a deal with suhe.... Qipa says she wants to live and is willing to kill kui mulang. Qi pa is a survivalist, she values kui mulang's life above honour and truth... Qipa has never hesitated to lie, cheat and break any rules to get what she wants in the past... She will never let kui mulang die and will move heaven and earth to ensure his survival.. Qipa is ready to sacrifice her honour for love while kui mulang is ready to sacrifice his life for love... Both are incomplete and weak without the other. They fit together like jigsaw?? puzzle pieces. They are yin and yang and when trying to save each other they cross all limits.... They are an undefeatable formidable team.

Game set match

... Game Set Match... Qi pa is about to unsheathe her hidden claws.The episode starts with much needed sweet exchange between kui mulang and qi pa. Qi pa: you're good. A fan of cosplay? Explaining cosplay to the Clueless kui mulang, qi pa says cosplay means, one minute you are li xiong and next minute you are kui mulang... I feel qi pa and kui mulang will enjoy this play in future to bring spice to their married life, both are quite good at this. ?Qi pa asks kui mulang to sit by her bed and tell her a bedtime story, she has become quite addicted to his meaningless ramblings about his childhood. Probably it is the left over feeling of security she has from her blind days, she promptly falls asleep secure in her cocoon of love and warmth. ?Kui mulang : I did all the happy things with you. Qi pa's response in her sleep: l'll always be at your side. Quite a sweet love story is about to unfold. ??Cue to bring in the vamp.... Su he to qi pa: you must be the new queen. I've heard the new queen is beautiful and extraordinary. Qi pa (nobody's fool) : full of pretense. She must have come with evil intent. Su he very snidely looks at qi pa and tells kui mulang, she must speak with him privately... Our wonderfully faithful kui mulang asks her to speak in the presense of his queen ? and liu jun.... Qi pa leaves them to gather ammunition against su he via gossip.... Kui mulang tells su he quite clearly that he sees her as a subject and not potential lover.... Su he is proving to be quite a formidable enemy for qi pa, su he starts turning everyone in the palace against qi pa..... Qi pa realises "THE GAME IS ON"... Qi pa tells chun'er I will show you how to deal with an angelic b*tch.... I hope qi pa proves to a good match for su he. Another aspect of the episode was the MOST INTERESTING chat between kui mulang and liu jun.. Liu jun : what came first, your desire to utilize qi pa for holy pearl or your love for her? Kui mulang: qi pa also means a lot to me. I got to know her because of holy pearl. But our relationship is now beyond that. Even if she doesn't have the holy pearl, I still want to be her only beloved. This above conversation was quite Illuminating and probably the assurance that qi pa requires to trust whole heartedly in her new relationship.... Truth will always remain that kui mulang brought qi pa because he wanted the holy pearl, then this became a moot issue as kui mulang fell in love with qi pa and his desire for pearl was over shadowed by his love for qi pa ❤.... But what if???? Qi pa did not have the pearl, would kui mulang love her as dearly... What if someone else had the holy pearl, would kui mulang fall in love with that person? Viewers have gotten a fairly good idea about kui mulang's character to know he wouldn't forsake qi pa for anything in this world... But qi pa needs to see this for herself, the question that bothered her before she left the beast city was, does kui mulang really love qi pa or he just wants the holy pearl?? Trailer for next episode seems to hint that writers want to play with this insecurity of qi pa... What if some other woman had the holy pearl... Where would qi pa stand??? I am also looking forward to know how that will play out.If you are interested in reading my reviews/ summary on all episodes together, open the link below. https://mydramalist.com/discussions/lang-jun-bu-ru-yi/111037-episodes-review-musing-thought?pid=2704447&page=1#p2704447

25 and 26 combined review

home is where the heart is!! ?You can never turn back time.... Qi pa can go back to xia kingdom but she wont have the same feelings about it as before, she is irrevocably changed by her experience in the beast city, she is incomplete without them as they are without her. Qi pa wants kui mulang to stop her but he is as clueless as ever as to how he could be forgiven by qi pa... So he begrudgingly takes qi pa to xia kingdom's gateway... Along with qi pa's and kui mulang's heart, all the viewers hearts are also hurting... IF ONLY, kui mulang would have asked qi pa to stay, she would have in a heart beat.... Kui mulang needs to learn communication 101 and burn those useless romance books for our sanity as well as qi pa's. Back in xia, qi pa is dragging her feet, she doesnt have the same gait as earlier, she is heart broken... Both kui mulang and qi pa have a different way to process grief.... Kui mulang declares there is no queen, no qi pa, decides to abdicate as his queen is gone and he wont have any heirs, in a melancholy, writes 'qi pa''s name the whole time..... Qi pa goes on a useless shopping spree, the food that gave her immense pleasure seem lack luster now, dancing and spa sessions are just motions to go through... Both qi pa and kui mulang are suffering . But after the heavy rain, rainbow has to appear, we get to see how kui mulang visits her at night just to take a peek at her, surprisingly he has the key chain that qi pa gifted him, lo and behold, durian key chain to lock their sweethearts in... Qi pa is also fiddling with the wolf's tooth necklace that kui mulang gifted her on her birthday. .. I love the symbolism behind both the gifts... Qi pa who always sleeps soundly is wide awake, comes out on the porch trying to find 'kui mulang' constellation that kui mulang showed her on her birthday and also gifted her protection and care of day and night. ... Kui mulang is pleasantly surprised and touched by qi pa calling his name because qi pa senses his presence nearby... That is beginning of true love. Qi pa being qi pa decides to trap kui mulang with general ma's help, both the foreigners have fallen for residents of beast city and now their home feels alien to them... Qi pa decides to gamble, pretends to fall and like always kui mulang is there to catch her... Kui mulang has always protected qi pa and she realises it in this episode, he was not merely using her but was a wall of strength between her and any danger. Qi pa's niece proves to be 'a little cupid' , calling kui mulang uncle and highlighting the significance of the key chain that qi pa gifted him.. Qi pa wants to go back, she names everyone she misses in the beast city except kui mulang ?, he is the air she breathes, how can you MERELY miss it when it is the reason of your existence.. All three, kui mulang, qi pa and general ma are beaming because finally everything is getting back in the place that it belonged... Qi pa has brought too many gifts for the people of beast city and those gifts play a part in uniting other lovers, just not the way she intended it to. Kui mulang is pouting because, she did not bring him a gift. Ever resourceful lui jun informs the king, that he too did not get the gift because he is kui mulang's right hand man ??. Finally lui jun gives a million dollar advise to kui mulang 'sweet talk the wife', obviously she came back just to be closer to her husband... qi pa and kui mulang are back together, now they need to strengthen their bond before the conspirators make their move.If you are interested in reading my reviews/ summary on all episodes together, open the link below.https://mydramalist.com/discussions/lang-jun-bu-ru-yi/111037-episodes-review-musing-thought?pid=2704447&page=1#p2704447
