ep 8 spoilers ahead

1.The empress puts a mask on Jishu...

2.The scene changes to Yu who is now a prisoner, and it seems his job is to work on this super weapon (out of all the people...she put the subordinate of her enemy in here? that's like handing the enemy your plans!)

3.Change Scene: Ling'er tearfully searches for Tianyi and finds him, passed out...

4.Tianjun pleads for his mother to let him abdicate because he has no desire for war or to unite the people of Lan. The Queen mother is clearly mad but says if he can escape the city, she will give him what he wants (lies; she is going to set it up so he has no choice to do this. I kind of think she will cause injury to her self to achieve this end...that or his jealousy of Tianyi will bring him back)

5.Meanwhile, Ling'er is trying to get herself and a very injured Tianyi to some shelter (more snow). This ends with her collapsing beneath his weight and him mumbling that he must be dead...

6.Yu instigates a fight that leads to his lock up...but oh he has smuggled out some items...perhaps to escape...?

7.So this scene is pretty brutal: Tianjun, in order to leave, must undergo this Moon punishment. It will cause him to hallucinate and experience his every worse nightmare, from Ling'er abandoning him for Tianyi to betraying his mentor, Jishu...his mother is visibly upset and begs him to quit (he doesn't get many steps but the suffering is prolonged). He manages to leave, he is now a commoner, and the only one with him is that servant girl who is in love with him...

8.(Now this show gets good!) Tianyi and Ling'er sit by a fire. He seems better injury wise. I would say emotion wise he looks icy cold, in contrast to Ling'er who is sobbing over her new situation. And based on what she knows, it is pretty crappy. Her father is dead, her best friend killed him. Tianyi shares that the plan was for him to work with Tianjun to help her and her father escape, however not only did Tianjun not show up, he killed her father--Tianyi admits he has no idea if there is a deeper reason behind this. Now they need to figure out where to go. Ling'er assumes he will go to the South City, since his people hold it, and assumed he would go because this is the road there.

9.A subordinate of Tianyi appears and he shares they notified the King Shinzeng (?) at South City and then he is killed by flying wingpeople, who seem to want to kill the emperor (so a power struggle back home?) but his guard shows up and takes down these flying people (these are not his buddies)

10.Tiangyi gives her a dagger before following them to Qiyang palace. The man in charge of this guard seems like a prick. He tells Tianyi that if they keep the 'chosen humankind crown princess here' it will cause problems. Tianyi orders him to put her somewhere safe...

11.We finally get a glimpse of the wingkind city. It seems to be much more technologically advanced, with them using flying aircrafts. Looks like something out of a RPG.

12.Change Scene to Tianjun who is trying to remove whatever Jishu put in him to make him suffer for loving Ling'er. Not sure if he succeeded. But that other girl clearly wants to be the only one in his heart, asking if she could call him 'Brother Tianjun' (that is what Ling'er called him..)

13.Meanwhile, Tianyi witnesses the assassins cruelly excited (I guess having your wings cut off is an awful way to go). Another girl stops her from running out and explains that the man in charge of the executions is the same person who ordered the assassination. he is Tianyi's uncle, and the regent, until Tianyi comes of age (he also seems a trifle sadistic). She introduces herself as a palace maid, Xio Xue.

14.This Xio Xue is a bit..odd she checks out Tianyi when she gets ready for her bath and praises her body (? bc women do this all the time?) and then proceeds to ask questions about her relationship with the emperor, even suggesting she likes him but she denies it...

*this episode was interesting because we get to learn more about wingkind*
