I find it kinda funny that the hospital went 'there's nothing medically wrong with your eyes at all, but hey, have some random medicine and bandages for shits and giggles, now go away'. :P

Haha, yeah, what meds?!

but now I paid attention to something else - at the beginning of the chapter it specifically says that ZYL can tell apart ghosts from living people specifically by the layer of merits - ghosts don't have one. So I guess this only refers to the actual ghosts who used to be living people, because Shen Wei is referred to as a ghost a lot (including by himself in these chapters), and he clearly has the layer of merits. Is it a translation thing? Or just another one of those differences between actual ghosts and gui/youchu, like with the ghost army? Or is it because he's partially a god? (If it's explained somewhere later, I forgot. :P)

Yeah, the actual ghosts who used to be living people are a completely different kind of being from what SW is! But I think it's still 鬼 gui for both in Chinese, too, so it's not just the translation.

Zhao Yunlan, ily, TWO VERY SHORT PARAGRAPHS AGO it was you crying about Shen Wei. xD ♡♡♡

LOLOLOL! :D

This is a cool af image, and also him noticing the missing page with his heavenly eye was a part of the plan and not a flaw in it, wasn't it?

Was it? I feel like I've lost the plot a bit there ...

Shen Wei being playful is so rare and adorable. :)

RIGHT????? :D :D :D

And also it's finally Shen Wei kissing Zhao Yunlan first, without any extra circumstances like being drunk or ZYL being asleep. :)

YES! Such a good point! ♥

I love that they were holding hands in the first place, and I love this even more. ♡♡♡ (And this may as well be where I subconsciously got the idea that drama Shen Wei fixed Zhao Yunlan's sock after all in episode 8. xD)

Hee! I love that connection. :D

I could never picture the layout of this for the life of me, and I just need to move on or I'll get stuck on it for 10 minutes like I did the first time around. xD

Next time I come across a similar setting in a drama, I'll try to remember to show you. :)

Can she tell what happened just from looking at his eyes? Or does she know it from DQ?

I figure it must come at least in part from Daqing, but maybe she can just tell there were Crows involved? That would be very cool!

Was hoping that Zhao Yunlan would go to the Yao market to heal his eyes ALSO part of the plan to bring back his memories? He wouldn't have heard this otherwise.

That feels like relying on luck a lot? Idk, but I'm none too sure about all of this, tbh.

This is really cool, and also it confused me because I thought that guy was a ghost, but I think it doesn't actually say that anywhere? (Also, more than half of this volume takes place in two days!)

I think that was a bit of misdirection from the narrative so the reader would think it was a ghost? But I'm not actually sure if that was intended.
