What is Love Between Fairy and Devil about?

Xiao Lanhua, a humble orchid fairy, accidentally releases Dongfang Qingcang, the dreaded Moon Supreme who was sealed away long ago. A strange spell first swaps their bodies, then binds them so that he feels every pain and emotion she does. To break the bond, the cold-hearted devil has to keep the fairy alive and close, and an unlikely love grows between them across the warring realms.

Based on the novel: Love Between Fairy and Devil 《苍兰诀》 by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang (九鹭非香).

Episode 4

"Da Qiang" (东方强 / 大强)

A badly timed sneeze makes Xiao Lanhua mishear the terrifying Moon Supreme's name as 'Dongfang Qiang', and she starts calling him the very ordinary 'Da Qiang'. This became the drama's breakout running joke.

The shared-senses curse

A spell lets Dongfang Qingcang feel every pain and emotion Xiao Lanhua feels, which drives the show's comedy and later its angst. A behind-the-scenes clip of Dylan Wang acting out the 'shared punishment' also trended on Chinese social media.
