Till The End of The Moon 长月烬明 Episode 23

Pianran found Ye Qingyu, she said that last night she was impulsive after drinking, and told Ye Qingyu not to take it seriously. Pianran wants to get the antidote from Ye Qingyu and leave the capital. Ye Qingyu told Pianran that he didn't have an antidote in his hand, because the poison that Tantai Jin gave to Pianran was just a nourishing pill. Ye Qingyu said he was lucky to have met Pianran in this life and that now she is free to go where ever she wants. Seeing Ye Qingyu saying she is free to leave the capital, Pianran decides to stay instead.

Ye Xiwu went back to Ye's family to visit relatives, and the Ye family could see from Ye Xiwu's relaxed mood that she and Tantai Jin had reconciled. Ye Xiwu's grandmother was concerned about Ye Bingshang's situation, and she was relieved when she learned from Ye Xiwu that Tantai Jin would not treat Ye Bingshang harshly. After returning to the palace, Ye Xiwu found Ye Bingshang, and apologized for Tantai Jin's embarrassment to her before, and was willing to ask Tantai Jin to let her go back to Ye's house, but Ye Bingshang refused to go back to Ye's house. She was unwilling to give up on Tantai Jin, she intends to find another way to make Tantai Jin admire and fall for her.

Ye Bingshang found Tantai Jin and asked her what she did wrong, but Tantai Jin said that she was kept in the palace just to catch Xiao Lin alive. The military rations that Pang Yizhi borrowed from the surrounding counties were in short supply, and now it was difficult for them to find a place to borrow food and supplies. Xiao Lin knew that they had no chance of winning, and also knew that for the common people it didn't matter if the war was won or lost. Now that Tantai Jin is seeking peace through war, the unification of the world is what the people wants.

Xiao Lin received a secret letter from Ye Bingshang. The letter clearly stated that she was persuading him to surrender, but in private it was true that Ye Bingshang asked Xiao Lin for help. Tantai Jin took Ye Xiwu out of the palace to play. Today is the last day of the Throwing Cold Festival, which is also the Qixi Festival, the busiest day of the year. Xiao Lin also took advantage of the festival to lead people into the capital of Jingguo.

Tantai Jin and Ye Xiwu went on a date for the Qixi Festival. Ye Xiwu was selected by the great wizard to be the goddess of this year's Throwing Winter Festival, and then Tantai Jin was selected as the demon god. As a goddess, Ye Xiwu needed to complete the sword dancing ceremony with the demon god and then kill the demon god. Although it was just a ceremony, Ye Xiwu couldn't tell whether Tantai Jin was the demon god or Ming Ye, an enemy, or a lover. After the sword dancing ceremony was completed, Ye Xiwu took off Tantai Jin's mask while feeling his face and recognized him as King Jing. At this moment, the people cheered, and fireworks were going off everywhere. Both Tantai Jin and Ye Xiwu enjoyed the moment very much.

Ye Qingyu and Pianran also enjoyed their own personal date time. Ye Qingyu lamented that he was just a mortal, and he might not have the chance to see Pianran's white hair. Pianran told Ye Qingyu the legend of the fox clan. According to the legend, as long as you tie hair with someone you love, make an alliance with your arms, and swear by dripping blood, even if one of them dies, the soul will not return to the underworld, and they will be together forever. But Pianran said that she would not try the legend, because one day, she would also forget Ye Qingyu, which made Ye Qingyu more at ease.

Tantai Jin and Ye Xiwu met a little girl selling candy, and when Tantai Jin learned that her parents had both passed away, he handed over his money bag to the little girl and asked her to take it to the steward of the orphanage, who would arrange a place for her to live. Ye Xiwu thinks that Tantai Jin has done a good thing, and it is only natural that everyone likes him, but Tantai Jin said he didn't care whether others like him or not, he just hopes that Ye Xiwu is willing to like him. 

Ye Xiwu asked Tantai Jin why he bought all the candies from the little girl. He told her he remember the first time she bought him a new outfit it was New Year's Eve, Ye Xiwu bought all the fireworks from a little old lady selling fireworks, which puzzled Tantai Jin at the time, but now he said he can understand the hardships of loneliness, poverty, pity for the weak, and the heart of doing good. He can empathize with these sufferings, and now he wants to do his best to help more people. He told her he learned all these things from Ye Xiwu.

They were hiding from the royal guards on the bottom of the Mo River, Tantai Jin can feel love and warmth from Ye Xiwu. He feels that the world is so beautiful. Seeing Tantai Jin's change, Ye Xiwu wanted to tell him about the evil bones, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Erbai Yu who rushed over.

Ye Bingshang used herself as a bait to lure Xiao Lin to come. Xiao Lin sneaked into the Jingguo Palace with an assassin to assassinate Tantai Jin. The war between the two countries was peaceful for the first time, and killing Tantai Jin would make the people suffer from war, so he had no intention of killing Tantai Jin. Xiao Lin presents the jade seal of the Sheng Kingdom and asks Tantai Jin to issue an order to withdraw the troops and stop the war.

Tantai Jin had known about the opponent's assassination plan, how could he agree with Xiao Lin's idea. Xiao Lin is willing to gamble and admit defeat, willing to be caught. On the other side, Pang Yizhi found Ye Bingshang in the palace and wanted to take her out of the palace. At this time, Pianran stopped the group of people, and Ye Bingshang retorted that Pang Yizhi had brought someone to hold her hostage.

Ye Xiwu learned that someone had assassinated Tantai Jin, and rushed to find that it was Xiao Lin who tried to assassinated Tantai Jin. Ye Xiwu wanted to plead for Xiao Lin, but seeing Tantai Jin's attitude she had to give up that idea temporarily.

Pianran wounded Pang Yizhi and the others. She wanted to take Ye Bingshang to see Tantai Jin, but unexpectedly discovered that Ye Bingshang had her own "love power " in Ye Bingshang's body. Pianran wanted to force Ye Bingshang to tell why it was in her body because it was suppose to be in Pianran's husband's body when he died in battle. Ye Qingyu suddenly appeared to stop her from hurting Ye Bingshang, which made Pianran very angry.

Tantai Jin asked Xiao Lin to hide in the dark temporarily, and at this time, Pianran brought Ye Bingshang. Tantai Jin praised Ye Bingshang's contribution today. Xiao Lin and Ye Xiwu knew that it was Ye Bingshang who deliberately sent a letter to lure Xiao Lin to come to the rescue. Hearing Ye Bingshang's words that it would be convenient for Xiao Lin to sever righteousness after returning from Shengguo, Xiao Lin was very sad.
