ep 3 spoilers ahead

1.Ling'er (shock) is unable to defeat this automated death machine. She flees for her life (note the lingering effects of the speed plant/she is quite fast). She flees for her life and it follows her out where all the men are

2.While everyone is fending off this death machine (note how Tianjun crumples and hides in Ling'er's embrace...) an individual wearing the clothing of the humankind clan but bearing a strong resemblance to the Emperor steals an artifact and leaves a piece of jade behind (?)

3.For reasons unknown Ling'er is publicly humiliated in front of all members of this sect, and blamed for this death trap attacking everyone (they should be praising her for being smart enough to recognize a lost battle and retreat but it seems they threw her in there full expecting her to die.)

4.Tianjun, looking like he is about to die, stands up for her. He tries to reason with these starlords but reason is not something that they listen to. They snap at him to hush and it isn't until Tianyi also raises his voice in support of Tianjun's argument that they back off. The star lords seem to reveal that they know very little about these machines and surmise that it was probably guarding something (perhaps the item that was stolen?) In a stunning decision that is in complete defiance of their previous stance, the starlords change their minds and decide to take Ling' er on as a disciple (and the only female disciple at that)(reverse harem?)

5.Ling'er is as stunned as I am at their unprecedented and seemingly illogical decision but I will overlook it in favor of 1)we need some way for her to become closer with the male lead and 2)we need some way for her to start to uncover her roots, where else would be good but here? (besides, if reason was the driving force in dramas then I highly doubt they would be so interesting)

6.The starlords are shocked to learn that the item taken was the Flower Deity Amulet. It is an important amulet because it is taken out when the God of Shooting Stars awakens at age 18. It seems taking it sooner can awaken this god prematurely...The starlords wonder if Jishu or a person from the winged kingdom, Yu Huanzheng who has an obsession for gadgets, took the amulet and plan to open up the star decoding gate...but then they find the jade and suspect another....(I really do not like the men's costumes in this show)

7.Bi Anhua is introduced as a girl with an unlucky name and fate (she says--this is the kind of girl who can either be really nice or really awful later I don't know her m.o. yet) Ling'er suggests she get a better name (right!) but she just sort of acts all demure and innocent (...i have my eye on you Bi Anhua...)

8.bwahahaaha this Bi Anhua seems to be the complete opposite of our Ling'er she is elegant and says pretty and poetical things....Ling'er (I aprreciate her directness) asks her straight out if she has feelings for Tiangjun but she dodges it by pointing out that Ling'er is the one in his heart (I am 99.9% certain that the male lead is Tianyi he is a million times more interesting than Tiangjun who is a cardboard cut out of 'the childhood friend')however Ling'er clearly only has him in her heart at the moment

9.Lu Huanzheng and I think the guy Tianyi was using from the humankind sect are summoned before the star lords. Both are booted out of the sect (Tianyi is quite ruthless he better be careful he seems to have more enemies than friends)

(okay this is starting to get more interesting the only person who needs to grow up is Ling'er she is just extremely sheltered)

10.So Ling'er (this would make me so mad) is skipping along when she runs into Yu Huanzheng on his way out. He;s just been expelled and she admits to him that she didn't even want to be a desciple and came to find Tianjung(!) instead of ranting at her he tells her that she is the only good memory he has at the court and they decide to be 'brother and sister' while she skips off with no worries Yu is captured by soldiers resembling humankind people. On the other hand, Tianyi has the humankind soldier who helped him imprisoned because (not being an idiot) he realizes today's friend can be tomorrows enemy especially since it only took a little money to bribe him

11.Tianyi randomly acknowledges that the 'stupid girl' is 'considerate' (he is becoming aware of her?)

12.We learn that Tianjun has only 3 days to live because he suffered an awful attack while defending Ling'er: basically his heart exploded and so did his blood vessels (not sure how he is alive)

13.Ling'er is lamenting his fate when the glowing core of the monster who attacked them offers to help her save his life. He also throws a few insults her way, claiming he is a guardian and she is the monster and that were it not for her existence none of this would happen (true) however I think he knows her identity as a goddess and is calling her a monster for that reason (perhaps intimating that because of her the two clans constantly fight for power) she bravely announce she will do anything to save Tiangjun

14.Meanwhile, for reasons unknown, the masked humankind-looking soldiers deposit Yu in a hut filled with all the kinds of gadgets and toys he likes...maybe being kicked out isn't so bad?

15.Ling'er begins to make this 'soul gathering' potion that will cost her life and save Tiangjun

16.The humankind empress (she's so pretty!) learns that the star deity will soon awaken...

--FYI this show has the weirdest/worse ending song I have ever seen (some random pop group?)

I give this episode a 6.5 (I wish I could give it a 6.7) because it is beginning to become interesting.
