Ep 28. Episode 28

Zhao Yao, Mo Lin, and Run Yu make their way into the Star Picking Platform. Yao Yao has been given the Bone Bead by Lin Xi and is determined to use it to break Mo Lin's stars. As they continue forward, Zhao Yao reveals her true identity to Run Yu, shocking him with the revelation that she is actually the Demon Lord. Although surprised by the news, Run Yu still refuses to leave her side.

Meanwhile, Zhi Yan is struggling with his own demons. He realizes that he has fallen in love with Zhao Yao, despite knowing that she is in love with Mo Lin. Conflicted by his feelings, he faces Lin Xi, who confronts him about his loyalty and intentions towards Zhao Yao. Zhi Yan insists that he only wants to protect her, but Lin Xi remains suspicious.

Back in the Star Picking Platform, Yao Yao is surprised to find that Mo Lin's stars are not as powerful as she had expected. She begins to doubt her decision to break his stars, wondering if she is making a mistake. However, Mo Lin assures her that he trusts her and believes in their love. Encouraged by his words, Yao Yao regains her confidence and continues on her mission.

As they reach the heart of the Star Picking Platform, Yao Yao faces the final test: defeating Mo Lin's guardian, the Heavenly King. With Mo Lin's guidance, she fights with all her strength, determined to prove herself worthy of him. The battle is intense and grueling, but Yao Yao refuses to give up. She taps into her latent powers as a demon and unleashes a barrage of attacks against the Heavenly King.

Outside the Star Picking Platform, Jin Mi and Xu Feng anxiously wait for Yao Yao's return. Xu Feng is worried about her safety and becomes increasingly jealous of Mo Lin, suspecting that his intentions towards Yao Yao may not be pure. Jin Mi tries to reassure him, reminding him of the love she witnessed between Mo Lin and Yao Yao.

Back inside the Star Picking Platform, Yao Yao finally emerges victorious against the Heavenly King. With the Bone Bead in hand, she prepares to break Mo Lin's stars. Just as she is about to do so, Mo Lin stops her, revealing that he had known about her plan from the beginning. He explains that he had purposely weakened his stars to test her loyalty and love.

Mo Lin confesses his feelings for Yao Yao, assuring her that he loves her with all his heart. Overcome with happiness, Yao Yao realizes that her love for Mo Lin is undeniable. She also realizes that Zhi Yan was right all along—love is not something that can be forced or chosen.

With the Bone Bead no longer needed, Yao Yao and Mo Lin leave the Star Picking Platform together, hand in hand. They return to the mortal realm, ready to face new challenges and strengthen their love. As they step out, they are greeted by Xu Feng, who reveals his feelings for Yao Yao. Although shocked, Mo Lin graciously steps aside, declaring that he will not stand in the way of true love.

The episode ends with Yao Yao torn between the two men who love her. She is faced with a difficult decision, one that will determine not only her own happiness but also the fate of those around her.
