Mini Recaps


[Ep1] A comet flies across the sky. Ah Bu Cha Cha, an alien, has landed on Earth. She's running out of energy and chooses a tree to hug, I mean to unify with. However, Tang Qing Feng almost takes her life. He thought she had killed his sister, Tang Qing Ye. What's left of Ah Bu Cha Cha is her antenna that he had sliced off. With no other choice she (the antenna) has to unify with a mere human, Tang Qing Ye who has just passed away. Aliens can only unify with humans if they passed away. That night, our new Tang Qing Ye arises from her coffin scaring the entire Tang manor. Escaping from her coffin, Tang Qing Ye who is now Ah Bu Cha Cha runs to the wood, begging to be unified to a tree instead. Tang Qing Feng catches her and demands to know who this impostor is. Ah Bu Cha Cha wants to run, but she still hasn't gotten used to gravity. 

A bit about Tang family: There's three Tang siblings. Tang Qing Feng is the oldest brother and an imperial guard. Tang Qing Yun and Tang Qing Ye are the younger sisters. They all have different mothers. Tang Qing Ye and the prince Li Yi (soon to be crown prince) are in love but Tang Qing Yun is the one selected to be the prince's bride. The mother of Tang Qing Yun wants to rid Tang Qing Ye so her daughter can marry into the imperial family successfully. 

[Ep2] Duo Miao Miao, Ah Bu Cha Cha's alien captain, has traveled with her and he takes on the form of a cat. With his aid, Ah Bu Cha Cha feigns amnesia to live as Tang Qing Ye. Except she's not very good at it. The original TQY likes to eat bland and lean meat, while ABCC likes flavoury and fatty food, i.e. braised pork – the super fatty kind. The original TQY is sweet and kind, while ABCC is quirky and bumbling with cuteness (and a tad perverted when she's leering at her servant's breasts).

The funny
→ TQF takes out a sleuth of weapons to threaten the TQY imposter to speak. At the end he chooses a feather to tickle her to her wits end.
→ TQF, the mighty strong chested man, can take a hammer to his chest but once he hears about Xiao Ru Yi , his heart immediately cowers in fear so much that he spits out blood.
→ The Mom's two evil servants. They're two people, one man, one lady but the same male actor.
→ TQF tippytoe-ing into her messy room and then cleaning it in a zippy. :D 
→ The evil lady servant (Qi Da Liang) and ABCC's showdown where Qi Da Liang ends up losing and steam is coming out her hair bun. 

[Ep3] Ah Bu Cha Cha is using her new invention to find what she needs to return home (Duo Star). She ends up getting misunderstood as a lurking ghost who eats human flesh. However, there's a more important lurking matter. There are evil black spirits that find Tang Qing Feng a threat to their existence and plan to kill him. Duo Miao Miao tries to convince Ah Bu Cha Cha to save him but she's too busy inhaling her Braised Pork to care about a measly human. Except, she does put aside her delicious pot of Braised Pork to save Tang Qing Feng. By saving him, she also sacrificed her chance to return home.

Tang Qing Feng carries Ah Bu Cha Cha back home like a sack of rice. He finds her injured near her collarbone but turns beet red at the exposure of her skin. Why push her down on the bed if you're going to turn tomato red, Tang Qing Feng? Contrary to a normal reaction, ABCC reveals more of her skin begging him to please take a look because she wants to know what's wrong. Ha.

The funny:
→ After consuming The Braised Pork, ABCC regains her alien powers. Slightly. She can fly but only for a bit. Out of control, she flies her head straight into a tree. 
→ Two men urinating and the dramatic music that accompanies the scene when one (Xiao Zhi He) reveals his manhood. (Xiao Zhi He is TQF's loyal disciple and also brother of Xiao Ru Yi)
→ Every time TQF's guards show up as a group lol. The chants and dance routines make me laugh.
→ ABCC gobbling down on pots and pots of braised pork. Each pots becomes bigger than the last.
→ The way TQF is posed to fight his unidentified enemies. And the way his group of loyal disciples circle around him xD
→ ABCC dashes to TQF and kneels down to look under his clothes. It's like she knew that between his legs she'll find things like hammers, axes, marshmallow, etc. What she needs though is the blue device that's in his chest. xD 
→ ABCC pole dances to distract her guards, something Duo Miao Miao had taught her. However, she finds her bricks more effective. She throws bricks at their head to sneak out. Screw seduction, physical assault is the best method. 
→ Qi Da Liang spreads rumours of ABCC's witchcraft and now she's on the wanted list. She dodges the soldiers by hiding under a plant. The guards don't see her. It's the perfect hiding spot you never knew. 
[Ep4] Ah Bu Cha Cha thinks she has found a way to return home. She points a rod to the sky and smiles as the sky has responded. It's a lightening strike. She's stricken, burnt, and fallen to her demise. But Ah Bu Cha Cha doesn't die. She's once again carried like a rice sack by Tang Qing Feng. He promises her he'd keep her safe but the next moment, they're arrested. Xiao Ru Yi arrests Ah Bu Cha Cha for thievery. Unbeknownst to Ah Bu Cha Cha, there are a lot of people after her life because of Tang Qing Ye's relationship with Li Yi. Tang Qing Feng is doing his best to protect his (impostor) sister. Meanwhile Ah Bu Cha Cha just wants to leave Earth and Tang Qing Feng as soon as possible because neither have done her any good.

Xiao Ru Yi has a big time crush on Tang Qing Feng; she's also the girl that make him puke blood upon hearing her name back in Episode 1. Despite liking him, she's working for Li Fu (another prince vying for the Crown Prince position). Li Fu and Xiao Ru Yi purposely close in on the Tang family, especially Tang Qing Ye. Xiao Ru Yi purposely invites Tang Qing Ye to a dinner party because of Li Yi's presence. Seeing him, Ah Bu Cha Cha has recalled Tang Qing Ye's memories and heartbreak.
Duo Miao Miao is caught by Xiao Ru Yi who takes him in as a pet cat. To run away, he takes on a man form. He's naked and unfamiliar with gravity. He's crawling on the floor. Upon seeing him, TQF quickly protects ABCC's innocent eyes but ABCC leers at DMM's body. DMM is once again caught by Xiao Ru Yi intruding her manor (as well as being naked like a pervert). When Tang Qing Feng asks about this man's identity, Xiao Ru Yi lies to protect him. If she didn't lie, she probably would have died at the hands of Ah Bu Cha Cha and her brick xD. Ah Bu Cha Cha is wholeheartedly impressed by Xiao Ru Yi's lying skills and looks to her as a role model. Meanwhile poor Duo Miao Miao is tied up in a cage by XRY, still half naked. He vows to get revenge on Ah Bu Cha Cha for ditching him.

The sweet: Ah Bu Cha Cha is hungry. She always is. Tang Qing Feng stops by the food stall. There's only one bowl of noodle left and he's gently stirring it for himself. ABCC stares at him and asks him if it's good. The food isn't even in his mouth yet. He continues to stir it. Turns out he's stirring it for her and feeds her. 

The funny: As Tang Qing Feng finishes feeding her one spoonful, he recalls their past but he's not even done recalling she has already gulped down the entire bowl. 
[Ep5] Today Ah Bu Cha Cha is looking for Buddha, literally, to return home. She's completely forgotten about Duo Miao Miao who's still at the hands of Xiao Ru Yi who's questioning him to tell her about his motive and his relationship with Tang Qing Ye. She doesn't get any information (because he really doesn't have any). However, he does manage to escape by turning back into a cat.

Ah Bu Cha Cha is closing in on her Buddha and finds another device to help her return home but a monk comes flying in to retrieve his flying device and sticks out his tongue at her, heh. Thus her attempt at returning home is foiled. She's got one more chance to use the device but now it's confiscated by the imperial guards. Therefore her next plan: to marry the prince to retrieve the device. In comes the evil mom's servants listening to this precise moment.

DMM returns to ABCC and he helps her sneak into the imperial court to retrieve their desired item (ABCC immediately forgets the plan of marrying the prince). It's almost successful until she bumps into Li Yi on her way out. He accidentally turns on the alien item and.... he's reverted to an infant. As ABCC is carrying the infant and escaping from the guards, TQF unsuspiciously diverts the guards attention away from her. She also saves him when a bandit aims an arrow at TQF without thinking. He wants to carry her to tend to her injuries, but he finds a baby in her arms. He asks her who's it is. All she tells him is it's the prince's. Ha.

The funny:
→ ABCC thinks Buddha is her people. She's telling the monk this who finds her extremely disrespectful for putting Buddha on the same level as her. Out comes arms behind his back to scare her. Automatically, she hits him with a brick. Still arms come out of his back and she hits him with a brick a second time. This time the men behind the monk don't hide in time. All those gold headed monk are revealed and sheepishly walk away, LOL
→ The monk flying in to retrieve his device. 

[Ep6] Tang Qing Feng is having a hard time digesting the fact that the prince is now an infant. His only logical explanation is that ABCC (his precious sister) has stolen a baby to force the prince to take her as his wife. ABCC is flabbergasted but decides to go with his idea because that way TQF can help her discard the baby ethically. Unfortunately that plan is halted because Dad has learned the fact that his Tang manor has an infant when none of his children are married. Tang Qing Feng and ABCC point the blame to each other. Lol. Dad wants to punish TQY but trust dependable brother takes it for her. 

With Li Yi missing, Li Fu is delighted. Tang Qing Yun ends up being blamed for Li Yi's disappearance. To save the Tang family, ABCC sacrifices another chance to return home by using it to restore Li Yi's body to its rightful age. Li Yi, being normal now, requests to see Tang Qing Ye. Despite not being TQY, ABCC feels the heartbreak and runs at the sight of him. Tang Qing Feng blocks her path with his rock hard chest that she ends up with a nosebleed from the impact. He wipes her blood and tells her to face her fears and face Li Yi. She obediently listens. TQF solemnly watches them from afar. There's nothing to worry about though, ABCC is only interested in how Li Yi remembers his infant-hood (he doesn't to her relief). 

ABCC tries to sneak out of home but the imperial guards are outside ready to slice her head in half once she steps out. Lucky TQF was right there to protect her. Tang family is now under orders to be quarantined because of rumours that Dad has committed certain acts of crime that is punishable by death. It's all a ploy created by Li Fu to take down the Tang family. 

The funny
→ One moment ABCC is using the brick to kill baby Prince Li Yi, the next moment she's mother-like and cooing the infant, ha. And then Duo Miao Miao's reaction to this is priceless. 
→ The baby's urine is a like a water fountain gushing. 
→ ABCC uses a brick to hit her father's (Tang Qing Ye's father's) head and rips off his mustache. When she learns it's her dad, she quickly tries to stick his mustache back on. 
→ ABCC is locked up in her room and someone uses this chance to make her faint over with the classical pipe tactic (that releases this noxious gas). Our alien is unaccustomed to this poison and cluelessly covers up the pipe with her finger which makes the person outside faint over, lol. However, the next pipe pops in, it's canon-sized, LOL. ABCC faints over almost immediately. 
→ DMM's "dun dun dun" move to reveal the device to help them return home. He's fixed the device, giving them a renewed second chance to activate it. It's followed with a DMM signature peace sign. 
→ TQF takes her home but ABCC is scared of Dad after the mustache incident. She sneaks away only to be grabbed at the collar by TQF. He knows her next move before she does. xD

The sweet
→ I like it when ABCC hides behind her dependable "brother" TQF when Dad is reprimanding her for the infant and her romance with Li Yi
→ When Dad is threatening her life, ABCC takes a brick (out of nowhere, as always) ready to smash his head again but TQF drops to his knees to take her punishment for her. ABCC seems to be touched.  
→ When TQF fixes a strand of hair for ABCC, she takes it out again for him to fix it again. Aw.

[Ep7] Tang family is about to be beheaded because they're caught in between the fight for the Crown Prince title. Tang Qing Feng asks his father about the crystal he always carries around. It has saved him from the dark spirit once already. Dad reveals to TQF his birth origins. He's a Prince.His mother, an imperial consort, gave him the crystal. That night he finds Tang Qing Ye and muses how she's really not his sister. So did he always like TQY more than just a sister or only started liking her recently? Tang Qing Ye (ABCC) is busy trying to make noodles for Dad's birthday but she has no idea how to cook. Tang Qing Feng personally teaches her. However, the noodle is actually her goodbye to the Tang family; she doesn't want to die with them. ABCC, lol

ABCC packs her belongings, ready to leave Tang family but she's interrupted by a sneaky Xiao Zhi He and Tang Qing Feng. They're investigating Dad's case. Curious, she follows them and helps Tang Qing Feng fight a masked man (with her handy-dandy brick). However, the masked man looks exactly like TQF. The lookalike runs away and in comes the imperial guards accusing TQF of murder. The real TQF senses suspicion and takes Xiao Zhi He hostage. ABCC immediately holds up her arm in Tai Chi mode against TQF but when he calls her over, she quickly resumes her rightful position behind his back. This girl, lol.

TQF and ABCC manage to run away but TQF had suffered an injury while fighting the masked man. He faints over. The purpose of this masked man is to frame TQF to add another crime to the Tang family. ABCC contemplates ditching him but all her memories of him being nice to her flushes in. ABCC rattles her head trying to find logic in saving him. She doesn't understand her decision when she had wanted him dead for causing so much trouble for her. I understand you (: DMM who is now referred to as Er Niu joins ABCC and TQF in their runaway. 
The sweet
→ Every time ABCC senses trouble (e.g. Mom's evil servants or Li Yi) she dodges behind TQF's back. 
→ TQF uses his thumb as some sort of measurement device to fix ABCC's hair. ABCC is once again left speechless. :) ~ ~
→ TQF is busy staring at her that he hits his head against a hanging pot. She reaches out to his forehead and he stops her. The boy just learned she's not his sister and her proximity bothers him.  
→ He teaches her how to knead dough. It's her turn to be bothered by his proximity. He has no idea what he's done to her heart. She probably doesn't either. 

The cool: TQF and ABCC engage in a battle of swords. She matches to him equally if not better. 
The funny
→ ABCC copies her dad's sword skills (she's pretty good at it). She's using her trusty brick instead though. The next moment she finds her brick shattered because it hits TQF's chest. 
→ TQF and ABCC make an entire pot – no, an entire barrel of noodle to celebrate dad's birthday. Ironic how none of them are his real children...
→ This drama makes everyone a genius at hiding as long as one can find a twig of some sort, haha. Xiao Zhi He and Ah Bu Cha Cha are literally right in front of each other but can't see the other because of a set of leaves. 
→ The portion size of his drama is crazy. TQF's medication comes in a bowl that is bigger than the size of his face and more. ABCC and DMM kneel down to admire TQF gulp it down in one go. ABCC seems especially proud. 

[Ep8] Tang Qing Feng and Ah Bu Cha Cha sneak back into the city; he's dressed as a woman and she as a man. With their disguise, they're still found by Xiao Zhi He and Xiao Ru Yi. XRY pulls Tang Qing Feng aside to talk. Oddly, Ah Bu Cha Cha finds herself upset at being left out of the conversation. Fuming with jealously, she interrupts their conversation and invites herself to their mission. TQF tells her she can't (because it's dangerous) meanwhile XRY can. ABCC demands a reason and she looks to XRY's chest, which is fuller than hers, and angrily walks off. 

ABCC and DMM are off to find a way to return home with their new receptive device. It guides them to this statue which starts to produce sonic waves that only affects aliens. TQF and XRY are also nearby to investigate the Tang family case. TQF rushes to find ABCC once he hears her scream but ABCC and DMM have to hide because the sonic wave has reactivated their bodies and their antennas are back. ABCC dodges under a table from TQF and when she pops out again her hairstyle has changed to perfectly hide her antennas. She's got Mickey Mouse hair. Meanwhile DMM transforms into a cat but he's caught by XRY again. She forcefully adopts him and checks his sex. She giggles when she finds out he's a male. Poor DMM. Then she puts her ring on his tail to signal that he's hers. DMM (cat) runs around in a circle in front of her, furious he's been eye raped. 

TQF promises to take ABCC on his mission as long as she promises to stay near him. That's a condition ABCC is happy to take in a snap. They arrive back at the statue that produced the sound waves but this time, TQF's crystal seems to counteract the statue. ABCC uses her brick to smack the statue and mini statues (of "Nan Zhao Wang") within the larger statue appear. These mini statues create an allusion of ghosts walking the city. Additionally Xiao Zhi He is missing. He's kidnapped by Nan Zhao Wang. The four (ABCC, TQF, XRY, and DMM as Er Niu) work together to enter Nan Zhao Wang manor. 

The sweet:
→ Xiao Zhi He tells ABCC there's no one who would love TQF as much as his sister. ABCC disagrees. She tells him she does (aw); she claims she knew him much longer. ABCC seems to have forgotten she's not actually Tang Qing Ye. Xiao Zhi He reveals his sister risked her life to protect TQF when they were fifteen. She sacrificed her right arm hence why she cannot yield swords, instead she uses a whip. Xiao Zhi He continues to tell her his sister and TQF are meant for each other. ABCC disagrees again because TQF is obviously avoiding Xiao Ru Yi. Xiao Zhi He retaliates that he's doing it on purpose to make her like him more. ABCC fumes with jealously. This is the episode Ah Bu Cha Cha has unconsciously fallen in love with Tang Qing Feng
→ TQF saves ABCC from a horse that's determined to run her over. He princess-caries her to safety. Let's forget he's still dressed up as a girl but is still so manly. After she's safe, he lets her down and she's helping him fix his shirt that has suddenly exposed too much of his chest xD
Ah Bu Cha Cha and Duo Miao Miao hiding under their perfect hiding device (plants)
Ah Bu Cha Cha and Duo Miao Miao hiding under their perfect hiding device (plants)
The funny
→ TQF dresses up as a woman and makes all men nosebleed at the sight of him. 
→ DMM and ABCC's scenes with their receptive device. Wang Yan Yang doesn't disappoint with his knack for humour. 
→ TQF tells the girls to hide while he takes out his sword to destroy the statue. He's quite manly. However, it's humorously disappointing. He's using his sword like a toothpick to take out the mini statue from the larger statue. 
→ ABCC's brick that can do anything, heh. 
→ TQF dressed up as a woman is way more seductive than ABCC can ever dream to be. 
→ Inside his dress, between his legs, TQF brings out the statue. I'm so curious what else is between his legs. Not in that sense
→ DMM (human form) finds himself tied to a pole because of XRY.
[Ep9] The four of them successfully enter Nan Zhao Wang's manor. But everything is suspicious. The current Xiao Zhi He is an alien in disguise. ABCC is about to kill him to protect everyone but TQF walks in and misunderstands her. He thinks she's gone crazy to explain her murderous intent. He promises her once he handles the case here, he'll take her back home and help her recover to her old self. She asks him if he prefers her old self (i.e. the real TQY) and he replies that it doesn't matter whether it's the present her or the future her, he'll always love her "as his sister". ABCC is super angry hearing this and flips him on her back giving him the back bend of his life. Haha. She locks him out of her room while he's still recovering from that bend.

DMM and Xiao Ru Yi are onto something: they find a secret passage in the manor. It's dark and creepy so XRY holds onto his arm seeking for security. He teases her for it. I like these two. Suddenly, vines appear out of nowhere and sends them flying out of the secret passage. 

Tang Qing Feng finds himself in trouble at the hands of the impostor Xiao Zhi He. He almost dies if not for ABCC blocking the attack. There's also another saviour; she's another powerful fellow "Duo Xing" alien (Ji Le) who saves both of them. Ji Le is an alien who's well adapted in the human world. When TQF wakes up, he finds himself healed but ABCC is missing. He runs to find her, lucky he does. Ji Le tells him she needs an ingredient to save ABCC but it's dangerous to retrieve it. TQF is willing to risk his life for it. While he's sent away, Ji Le interrogates Ah Bu Cha Cha about her origins and purpose on Earth. Ah Bu has no purpose, it was all an accident on her part that the spacecraft disintegrated. She questions ABCC why she risked her life to save TQF. ABCC thinks she's broken (like a robot) but Ji Le tells her she's in love. ABCC doesn't know what love is.
ABCC: What is love? Can it be eaten?
The sweet: TQF is more than willing to sacrifice his life to find an ingredient he thinks can save ABCC but it was a fake mission that Ji Le made up. ABCC is worried for TQF but is still angry that he thinks of her only as Tang Qing Ye. She doesn't know what these feelings mean. 

The funny: Xiao Ru Yi demands to know who Er Niu (DMM) is and where he's from. He points to the sky and Star War music turns on. She laughs so hard her back bends backward. That flexibility of hers

[Ep10*] ABCC is hitting a tree with a branch to express her anger at TQF. She doesn't know whether to stay or return to Duo Xing. She also doesn't know why she would even consider staying. The tree suddenly yelps out in pain. This tree is also a fellow Duo Xing alien. She confesses to the tree she doesn't know what love is, she just thinks it's weird. The tree laughs and asks her what's weird about it.
ABCC: It's like there's something in my throat, sand in my eye, or food caught in my teeth. 
The tree warns her that loving a human never has a good ending and ABCC quickly decides to not love. Haha, it was so quick there wasn't even a second to blink. The tree was about to expose Ji Le's past love with a human as well but is quickly interrupted by Ji Le herself. They're updated that TQF is missing (he was saved by a random man, Duan Fei, who knows of his birth secret). Hearing this, ABCC, who had just decided to not love, runs to find him. Seeing him safe, she quickly hugs him.
ABCC: Tang Qing Feng! I thought you abandoned me again!
TQF pats her back: I won't leave you behind and not care about you. Never.
ABCC: You said so yourself. If Qing Ye isn't obedient, you'd leave me behind. 
He comforts her that those were all empty threats. How could he ever think of abandoning her? She checks if he's okay and casually pops his shirt open to check his chest. He stops her from stripping him any more than she already has and promises her he won't scare her like this anymore. He also orders her to never put herself in danger. She tells him she was trying to protect him but still he won't allow it. The way he said it was swoon-worthy. ABCC has to catch her heart there for a moment.
ABCC: If one day I'm not your sister anymore, will you still care about me like this? 
TQF doesn't quite answer this and ABCC is distracted anyways. She suddenly remembers Duo Miao Miao (and Xiao Ru Yi) is potentially in danger. They're still at Nan Zhao Wang's manor. TQF assures her by patting her hand that everything's under control. However, ABCC hasn't processed a single word he said because she's still hung up on the fact that he's touched her hand. Unfortunately, he's wrong about everything being under control. Duo Miao Miao had escaped but he tells them that Xiao Ru Yi is still kept hostage. Tang Qing Feng comes to learn from Duan Fei. that aliens exist and they are responsible for everything thus far including framing Tang family of their crimes.

To protect TQF, ABCC smacks him hard with her brick (just where does she store it?) to knock him unconscious. She doesn't think he can handle the fight with aliens and so she leaves him behind for his sake. ABCC and DMM enter the secret passage. It's actually a space craft. The mastermind behind it is ABCC's alien childhood friend (Ah Li)! He had captured Xiao Zhi He and Xiao Ru Yi. Now he's captured DMM. Ah Li entices ABCC to join his plans of controlling Earth. Our clever ABCC pretends to be interested. She's quite convincing that even DMM is very disappointed in her betrayal. Ah Li has a mission for her though before he promises to send her back to Duo Xing: to kill Tang Qing Feng.

The sweet: TQF points at ABCC and touches her nose ordering her to stay in the cabin while he looks for firewood. ABCC presses down on her heart threatening it to stop accelerating or she'll dig it (her heart) out. She then touches her nose reminiscing his touch. 
The funny:
→ Everything is extra large in this drama. The medication pill that's given to save TQF's life is a larger than palm-size. How an unconscious TQF was able to swallow that...is all displayed but still so hard to imagine.
→ Duan Fei's majestic flute scene that seems to be able to stop enemies but the enemies run through him like nothing has happened, haha. So funny especially nowadays where so many dramas have flute-playing geniuses that can do anything with their music.
→ Duan Fei asks if TQF and ABCC want to hear his story with Ji Le. It's a rhetorical question but the two of them shake their head. Haha. Except Duan Fei is very willing to share. ABCC interrupts him and he complains that he's already started it and it's hard to swallow back the story without finishing it. Being the gentleman, TQF allows him to finish it. [DF used to be an imperial commander. He was ordered to save a Princess (An Consort) and her son but he was too late. He also missed out on the promise with Ji Le who now hates him for it.] They instantly regret letting him finish the story and immediately fall asleep.
→ ABCC and Ah Li's signature move. I love all these weird alien moves
→ TQF takes off his outer garment to keep her warm, but a ton of random weapons fall out. So that's where it's actually stored I'm a little disappointed
[Ep11] ABCC is sent to kill Tang Qing Feng. She's choosing among the weapons he's dropped from his garment but she can't settle on any of them. They're suddenly attacked by a sleuth of arrows. It's a distraction method Ji Le schemed in order to kidnap ABCC (and save TQF from her). Ji Le is disappointed by ABCC's betrayal who was informed by Xiao Yue (Shen Yue's first drama), a spy Ji Le had planted in Ah Li's manor. When Tang Qing Feng finds ABCC, Ji Le tells him ABCC isn't who he think he is. However, Tang Qing Feng will protect TQY (ABCC) at all cost. Ji Le attacks them with her powerful rod but they're saved by Duan Fei. He proceeds to tell TQF his birth secret, which he already knows: He's a prince and the current empress had killed his mother. Ji Le finally learns she's misunderstood Duan Fei for leaving her that fateful day. TQF has no interest in revenge contrary to Duan Fei's expectations. He only has one wish: to protect Tang Qing Ye.

ABCC regains consciousnesses after TQF's identity is revealed, therefore she has no idea about him being a prince. She asks him whey he's willing to risk his life to save "her"(Tang Qing Ye) so much.
TQF fixes her hair: What her? It's' you. Because it is you, that is why I want to protect. Does he know?  
She's touched but questions him why he's not suspicious of her, why Ji Le is after her, why she's safe from exiting Nan Zhao Wang's manor, etc, etc. He tells her that he'll protect her and believe her regardless. She doesn't believe him but he vows that he hasn't lied a single word to her. If he says he believes then he believes her. If she wants to kill him, he'll let her kill him. She asks him why but he hesitates on answering. Instead of telling her how he truly feels, he tells her it's because they're family. When ABCC points a sword to his chest, TQF willing accepts it. She tells him he must remember that he believes her before slashing him with her sword. His blood splatters her face.

Meanwhile DMM frees himself and saves XRY and Xiao Zhi He. DMM hides the fact that Ah Li is an alien but tells them that "Nan Zhao Wang" is scheming to take over the palace by keeping important palace people in his life-size test tubes and replacing them with clones.

ABCC returns to Ah Li with TQF's head. Rewind back to what actually happened: After Duan Fei saved ABC and TQF from Ji Le, ABCC had revealed all of Ah Li's motives and she has to bring back TQF's head to save the others. TQF has a plan to foil Ah Li's schemes but he's only willing to share it as long as Ji Le apologizes to ABCC. ABCC assures TQF that she doesn't mind Ji Le bullying her. Tang Qing Feng strictly retaliates that he minds. Another swoon moment. Once again, ABCC heart goes crazy for him and she's having a hard time suppressing it. Subsequently, Ji Le apologizes and suddenly ABCC is elated and demands more than an apology from her. Ji Le sends her a message via brain wave and threatens her she'll reveal her true identity to TQF. ABCC quickly bows her head to apologize, lol. So what's this great plan of TQF's? Kill himself.

The funny:
→ The amount of firewood TQF cut within a few minutes and ABCC's reaction to it. 
→ A mummified TQF. He's bandaged by Duan Fei after the attack from Ji Le. It's all to create a TQF lookalike.
→ ABCC tempted by the large medicine pill and nibbles on it happily. The next second she faints over. Duan Fei purposely gave  her that to make sure she can't hear TQF's origin story. 
→ Duan Fei's storytelling is curtailed once again by TQF's Dad who had already told him TQF is actually a Prince. 
→ DMM saves XRY but she's still unconscious and her weight falls on him. His reaction: "Oh my gosh, why are you so heavy." Ha
→ DMM tells XRY he knows her secrets. It starts off seriously by him revealing he knows she's working for Li Fu. But then he goes and reveals he knows she's got a super handsome cat (i.e. himself). 

[Ep12] Ji Le creates a fake TQF and that's the head that ABCC took to please Ah Li with. While ABCC is inside fooling Ah Li, the rest of the team is saving the slaves Ah Li had captured. They also find another passage entrance to corner Ah Li. He runs away and almost kills TQF but Ah Bu Cha Cha can't let that happen. She glows blue and levitates from the ground. He grabs Ah Li and flies him to the sky and ground and sky and ground until Ah Li is severely injured. Witnessing her attacks, TQF realizes she's Ah Bu Cha Cha and not his sister. He remembers that a blue alien was the murderer of her sister. Thus, he holds her by her neck. She asks him if he were to kill her would he feel sad just as he did for Tang Qing Ye. TQF coldly tells her no as he wields his sword to pierce her. ABCC mouths her last words to him, "Ah Bu will never kill Tang Qing Feng", cries her blue tears, and accepts to be killed by him without any resistance. Aw, so she's the one who will let him kill her. Those words he said to her an episode ago is fulfilled by her. But he doesn't kill her. He can't kill her ): He does cut all ties with her declaring her his enemy from now on. Tears run down her face and she asks Ji Le what those are. Ji Le replies it's her heart dripping blood.

Ji Le helps DMM contact Duo Xing and organizes a spacecraft for him. She also takes on his mission for him. Meanwhile ABCC takes comfort by the tree. She's still heartbroken and Ji Le reminds her that she's weak now and without her antenna. ABCC ponders that if she no longer has her antenna, does that mean she can integrate with humans and find TQF again? Aw. Ji Le tells her to give up on her human love. The tree also comforts her. ABCC smiles and tells the tree her secret. However, we don't get to know what it is.

TQF isn't much better off. He's resort to drinking to get over his heartbreak that he hasn't acknowledged yet. He doesn't understand why he didn't kill her. He understands. He finds her brick and smiles at memories of her (the ones he shared with Ah Bu Cha Cha and not Tang Qing Ye). But once he recalls those memories of her, he cries again. Tang Qing Feng is even sadder than when he lost Tang Qing Ye, and Ah Bu Cha Cha haven't even died yet.

The funny:
→ ABCC couldn't slash TQF's head off, even though it's a fake. The blood on her face was also spotted on by TQF. 
→ Duan Fei gives TQF an alien sword (aliens only die when killed with alien swords). TQF copies Ji Le and calls out "Level 5" hoping to activate the most powerful stage of his new weapon but there are no levels in his weapon. ^^"
→ DMM shows his gratitude by making a fortune cat pose.

[Ep13] Even if Tang Qing Feng doesn't want to remember her, everyone is asking about her. Tang Qing Feng and Li Yi battle each other in a childish fight because Li Yi is demanding to know the whereabouts of Tang Qing Ye. Xiao Ru Yi confesses to him but when she's rejected she corners him into realizing his feelings for Tang Qing Ye when they were at Nan Zhao Wang's manor. Dad reminisces his daughter who, according to TQF's lie, has decided to become taoist and enter a temple.  (By the way, Tang family has cleared their name because of the whole Nan Zhao Wang incident.)

Tang Qing Feng seeks out the grave of Tang Qing Ye's mother and speaks his woes. He knew Ah Bu Cha Cha is her sister's murderer but he couldn't kill her. He wishes that what she told him, that his sister's death wasn't her fault, was true. He asks TQY's mother what should he do. At this moment, ABCC appears and reminds him he once told her he'd never abandon her. It's not a hallucination. In the next scene, we see ABCC's silhouette and hears her sharpening her knife. She's cooked him Braised Pork. Except they're all charred. TQF still hasn't said a word since her return. She gives him a piece of her pork, that I do not even want to call pork; it's truly an insult, lol. TQF picks up the black thing and opens his mouth wide. He eats it. He bites that thing. And he eats another one. Until his mouth is black from the burnt pieces. There's tears in his eyes, but I think it's from the horrible food rather than seeing her.
TQF finally speaks: The food is done, but we still have things to sort out. 
He takes her to TQY's mother's grave but ABCC tells him she likes him and as long as he believes her, they can be together. He brushes her hand off and tells her she doesn't know what love is. She retaliates that she knows it better than him. I agree.
ABCC: Me toward you, is that type of like. That no matter what, I still have to be together with you that type of like. That's why I'm back. - She points her finger to the sky and vows - I, Ah Bu Cha Cha, promise to never lie to Tang Qing Feng ever again.
TQF wavers. She tells him that she can stay on Earth forever to be together with him, However, TQF tells her it's impossible.
TQF: Even if there's a one in a millionth chance that I could possibly like you, we still cannot be together. As long as you have Tang Qing Ye's identity, we definitely cannot be together. Because that'd be incest, but he's not a Tang anyways. He's just making up excuses.
ABCC assures him she can solve that problem. TQF wavers again but he tells her to leave. However, she's resolute; as long as you love someone, no obstacle is an obstacle. Seeing as words do not get through to her, TQF points a sword at her again. He doesn't hurt her but the message is strong as he leaves her. Xiao Ru Yi overhears their conversation (partly?) and teaches her to confess it to the entire world. And so ABCC announces to the world with a spacecraft-sized balloon that she loves him. It garners a huge crowd. TQF runs to her. She tells him once more she loves him. He holds her face and admits to her, "I lost". Awwwww, at least Xiao Ru Yi's harmful advice was actually helpful. Their love reciprocates. However, people are hysterical because they've just publicized their incest.

The funny:
→ The childish physical battle between Li Yi and TQF (for TQY's whereabouts)
→ ABCC's cooking scene is like a samurai preparing for battle

[Ep14] Tang Qing Feng takes her by the lake and calmly tells her the dire situation they're currently in. He's saying it with so little emotion, it doesn't look like he cares at all. She obviously doesn't, she's not even human.
ABCC: Nice to meet you, I'm Ah Bu Cha Cha - sticks out fist for a prop -
TQF: Silly, I know - doesn't take the prop, but does take her hand
ABCC can't hear a single word; her entire focus is on her hand he's holding. However, angry civilians run in holding axes and whatnot determined to separate these two incest pairs. ABCC quickly stands in front to protect him but he points to her nose again and orders her to not use her powers. Not because it will hurt others, he's worried she'll be hurt. He tells her to find safety first, and she carefully weaves through the crazy mob that has frozen (literally) at TQF's orders, lol. Once she's safe, he restarts the mobs. However, the mob is just swinging their weapons not moving an inch closer to him, ha. Next scene, almost all of them have fallen and Tang Qing Feng pumps his steel chest asking for who their mastermind is. It's Xiao Ru Yi who's under the orders of Li Fu.

Unfortunately, ABCC didn't find a safe place to hide. She's overhears an important secret: TQF is a prince and witnesses Li Yi murdering everyone who knows of the secret including Xiao Ru Yi's father. She makes her presence known to Li Yi hoping to protect the people who are already dead (what an idiot). Li Yi tries to convince her but she's determined to expose him. With no choice, he attempts to kill her. Xiao Ru Yi also misunderstands ABCC to be her father's murderer (because dumb father's last words were to find Tang Qing Ye). ABCC uses her alien powers to protect herself making TQF misunderstand her too. Honestly, it's hard for him not to with so many people dead and injured around her. He holds up a sword at her for the third time and calls her name. This time she walks into his sword and pierces herself. She hugs him and tells him it's the first time he's called her "Ah Bu Cha Cha". She smiles and tells him she regrets nothing. Her last words to him are "I like you". Then she disappears into thin air.
A heartbroken TQF travels to Ji Le and finds the tree ABCC has shared her secret to. The tree reveals her secret.
ABCC's secret: Tang Qing Feng, I want to meet you again as me. My name is Ah Bu Cha Cha. In the past I really didn't have an interest towards Earthlings but after meeting you, I discovered that Earth is far more heart-warming than I thought. Not seeing you for the past few days, there's not a moment I haven't thought of you. Duan Fei told me this is love. So I've decided to find you. No matter the consequences, let's not be separated, okay? - TQF feels her presence as an illusionary ABCC gives him a back hug -  Tang Qing Feng, because of you, I, Ah Bu, am willing to become an Earthling. 
From a far distance, he hears Ah Bu calling out to him but he thinks it's a hallucination. It's not. He does however meet another illusion type of figure. This figure tells him that he's now in control of TQF's body. However, this figure doesn't know who is he himself, just that he too is TQF (like an alternative soul).

A year later. Tang Qing Feng is sill waiting for ABCC. Ji Le is recovering ABCC's body but it's hard to say whether she'd be successful. He's now well versed in the world of aliens and coveted a lot of their weapons. He's also hired many top chefs to teach him how to make the world's best Braised Pork. He regrets not believing her that moment (with Li Yi) but it's too late now. He's never once forgot her. 

The funny:
→ A year later we get to see TQF again in his new gear. Looks something like a bee?
→ The hand-against-wall-move the illusion figure made when talking to TQF when there was no wall 

[Ep15] Tang Qing Feng's patience is well rewarded. ABCC reappears! However she has a new identity and doesn't know TQF anymore. She's now the new Nan Zhou leader (lol) and she's got a trusty sidekick with her. It's DMM. She is to be enrolled to his school. Initially he had strict rules that only those who passed his test can be enrolled, but because it's ABCC, rules are thrown out the window. He's so happy to see her, words cannot express it. When Li Yi appears to greet the new Nan Zhou leader, TQF quickly whisks her in his arms and hides her in the carriage. ABCC is flabbergasted how a man can like it when she slapped him. 

ABCC does remember TQF. She just doesn't want him to know. She claims to hate TQF and is back with a vengeance. Ji Le has saved her and she still has Tang Qing Ye's appearance because her soul has already integrated with this body. ABCC and DMM have a mission to maintain Earth's peace (aliens have righteous missions to keep galaxy peace y'know). There's this unknown dark alien force that's also vying for the Emperor position for their personal gains. Li Fu has collaborated with this dark force. 

Tang Qing Feng's school: TQF is using his powers to protect aliens. He has become their ally and saviour. Li Fu, who doesn't know about aliens, thinks TQF has a top secret up his sleeve and hence his continued surveillance of TQF.

The funny:
→ TQF is reading the letter but I don't see any words. His disciple can also read it too. But here I am asking again, where are the words?
→ The signature ABCC peace sign during a fight that allows TQF to recognize her immediately even if she is masked. 
→ DMM and his tiny mustache. 
→ TQF shouts in joy that she's back. His team dances in joy for him. Then ask who's back, lol
→ The red fingerprints on TQF's face (from ABCC's slap) and the subsequent red fingerpritns on his alternative soul, lol. They are one indeed.
→ The music when ABCC and DMM waddle their way into greeting the Emperor. 
→ ABCC asks what is a "Fu Ma" and whether it can be eaten, heh. Fu Ma is a princess' fiancé. 
→ It's only revealed now that whenever DMM transforms into a human he has to make some sort of sacrifice. All I know is that the sacrifice involves pain near his butt. I have no idea what that means, and probably don't want to. 

[Ep16] ABCC skips school for braised pork. She just wants to avoid TQF but he personally picks her up to go to school and punishes her for being late. Both princes (who also suddenly decide to attend school) beg for her, but she doesn't need it. She'll take it. TQF really does hit her hand without holding back. Aw. She glares at him. One can probably feel the heat of her stares. The three royals (ABCC with her Nan Zhou leader identity, and the two princes) are given a test: they must make a stone sprout flowers. 

TQF catches ABCC sneaking around in his room. She's there to find hints about the test. When she's caught, she's got a full list of complaint but to him all he sees and hears is his beautiful ABCC and the sound of love. When she's caught onto him staring lovingly at her, he pulls her hand and swings him to his chair. She's holding her heart, suppressing it from beating wildly. He explains that he had to punish her at the school. But here and now (in his room), he decides to kiss her. Her heart can no longer handle it and she faints over instantly. When she wakes up, she finds herself tied to his bed, but that's nothing to her and she escapes with ease. She vehemently promises him she'll be back. He smiles and welcomes her. 

With her new identity, ABCC has every right to make Tang family cower at their knees. She's there to demand justice against Tang Qing Feng. Not only has he hurt her with his hand but also with his mouth. Haha. The family thinks she meant kissing but to ABCC, it was murder. His mouth blocked her mouth from breathing. Hahaha 

Xiao Ru Yi finds DMM. The plant hiding trick fails for once. That's surprising. When she's caught him, she rips his mustache (that's the second time today for him) and he screams at the pain once again. However, before she can question him any further, a spacecraft lands from the sky and a blond cat-man claims DMM as his royal fiancée. She tries to save him but it ends up being DMM saving her from the weird cat-man who cat-naps DMM. Despite being injured, XRY is determined to save DMM. 

The funny (too many):
→ DMM bravely slaps TQF's butt for bullying ABCC. The slap was so weak though, I don't think TQF even felt it. 
→ After school, Li Yi follows ABCC. He lost her at a corner but she returns right in front of him carrying a coffin-size brick above her head ready to attack him. There's also amazing opera music accompanying this scene.
→ ABCC is stealing stuff from TQF's room. She's caught. He asks her why she's wearing all white (such a bright colour) to steal stuff. She thinks he's dumb, "At night you wear black, so during the day, you obviously wear white, duh." Ha
→ The reveal of how DMM got his identity as a cat-man, xD. He integrated with a cat-woman who accidentally committed suicide. Therefore the cat-prince mistook him as his cat-princess.
[Ep17] Tian Qing Feng promises to help Xiao Ru Yi save DMM but he will not hurt aliens, including cat-man aliens. XRY angrily leaves with her injuries thinking TQF isn't actually helping. She ends up fainting in his arms which makes ABCC misunderstand. There's not enough time for her to be jealous because a fish coffin falls from the sky. It's a fish shaped wedding carriage? Inside is literally a fish that's one-hundredth of it's coffin size. The real item this fish-coffin-carriage-whatever was supposed to hold was an SOS letter from DMM. 

TQF leaves his school under ABCC's guidance. She grabs onto his arms asking him if he's looking for XRY again. She's jealous and he knows it. She's grateful that he's saving DMM but TQF is not doing it without a reward. He murders her cheek. I mean he kisses her cheek. xD Hee. That kiss was just the interest, once he saves DMM, he wants his principle and interest all at once. ABCC's heart goes crazy again. She's got one hand on her cheek and the other on her heart, lol

XRY risks her life to save DMM. She claims it's because she doesn't want to owe him a favour. They share a romantic moment when he princess-carries her. However, it ends quickly when he doesn't tell her the truth. She knows he's her cat but he denies it. He does tell her that the real murderer of her father is Li Yi and not ABCC. Let's hope she believes that. Meanwhile back to the cat-man alien. He's demanding for DMM at TQF's school otherwise he will destroy Earth. However, DMM tells him he's already in love with someone else. He grabs Xiao Ru Yi in for a kiss.
The funny:
→ The fish carriage had more fish carriages inside. The repetition in the four people's lines had me laughing especially when they mix up who's supposed to say what lines. 
→ The school is now under ABCC's control. I don't know how he can trust her. She forces his disciples to learn the Miao Miao Miao cat dance xD.
→ DMM screams a lot, this time it's at a dog. 
→ The cat dance party that ABCC had planned (ABCC's dance lessons now make sense). Ah Bu plays the flute and TQF the drum. Surprisingly, it does work, but the crew can't dance forever, lol.

[Ep18] Xiao Ru Yi pushes Duo Miao Miao away but he whispers to her that if she wants to save mankind, she needs to cooperate. The two kiss each other deeply again. Only in this drama will a kiss be so heroic. Tang Qing Feng puts in his two cents about alien and human love. It's all for Ah Bu Cha Cha to listen. TQF's speech and DMM's actions have touched cat-man's heart and he retreats his men and his attack on Earth.

After that whole ordeal is over, Xiao Ru Yi is after ABCC again for her father's death. TQF explains everything; this time with proof. TQF also wants his truth and pulls ABCC aside to question her about her identity. He pulls her close and asks her what can he do to make her forgive him. Her heart goes wild again. Meanwhile XRY and DMM are enjoying their alone time as well.

ABCC is accused of a crime by the Empress(scheming to murder Tang Qing Feng). She technically is... Li Yi saves her from imperial punishment. She had wished it was Tang Qing Feng who saved her. Anyways, she angrily returns home to find him weightlifting. She tells him to freeze and handle the mess that's following her: Li Yi. He handles Li Yi and also appeases her. He makes her favourite Braised Pork. It's the best she's ever tasted. What is love to ABCC? Love is food. Once you give her food, she'll forgive anything. When TQF asks her what happened that day she almost died, ABCC asks him one last time, "No matter what I say, will you believe me?" He promises her that he will always choose to believe her. She accepts it and tells her what she knows (TQF is a prince and LY is the murderer). So, they made up? Yes?

Emperor has made a royal edict: he will choose a fiancé for ABCC among his princes. ABCC still has no idea if a fiancé can be eaten. When she learns TQF has no part in it, she freaks out. TQF had tried to ask the Emperor for permission to take part in it but is refused. With that, TQF gives up. His aloofness majorly disappoints her and she vows to find the perfect husband for herself.

The funny:
→ ABCC recites to herself that "Tang Qing Feng is poisonous" after he makes a move on her.
→ The size of TQF's weights. It's double his height. 
→ TQF feeds her one braised pork. She brushes that aside and gobbles down the plate in one gulp.
→ ABCC copies TQF's thumb as some sort of measurement device  
[Ep19] The contest to be ABCC's fiancé commences and TQF barges in. Turns out he's got the Emperor's permission all along, he was just messing with ABCC. ABCC finally smiles with his presence. The first test is who can withstand a brick being hammered to their chest. The second one is chopstick skills. The last one is who can eat that tarred awful cancerous Braised Pork personally cooked by ABCC (TQF can, it's true love). This is a contest designed for TQF to win. After TQF finishes the last of the pork while wiping the bowl clean of it's oil, ABCC rushes to the stage to announce her fiancé. It's TQF. He whispers, "You planned this on purpose." She happily tells him, "Yep!" Yay~. They're official now and she full heartedly accepts him. She's back to the original Ah Bu Cha Cha who's unconditionally in love with him.

Xiao Zhi He gets himself in trouble. He is set up by Li Fu's people to sabotage Li Yi. ABCC wants to protect XZH because as "Shi Mu" she has that responsibility. XZH addresses TQF as master "Shi Fu" and since she is now his fiancee, she is therefore his "Shi Mu". TQF's stern attitude melts in an instant and he immediately listens to all her orders. She makes TQF understand that Bei Di Prince is also an alien in human disguise. He's the one controlling everything from Li Fu's rise to Li Yi's downfall
The funny:
→ The brutality ABCC puts all her potential husbands under... xD
→ The way they link arms. TQF props his arm for her to hook and she's got it the wrong way, but it's even cuter that way. 
→ ABCC's uncanny ability to sniff out anything suspicious. With just one look, she knows the culprit behind the painting is Xiao Zhi He

[Ep20] Xiao Zhi He is kidnapped by Bei Di Prince. ABCC and TQF save him in time. Bei Di Prince was about to attack them but his body disintegrates once he made contact with TQF's crystal. A dark air escapes and ABCC recognizes it as "Ling". Elsewhere, Li Fu is planning a coup d'état to take the throne. He fails because TQF and ABCC already have a backup plan. ABCC purposely lets Li Fu take her as hostage in order to find out about Ling. However, it's her that gets information stolen as Ling is able to search her memories for the whereabouts of the "Galaxy Eye". It's safeguarded by Ji Le. Ling escapes once TQF arrives. A pillar drops from the roof and TQF blocks the attack for ABCC. He's knocked unconscious. When he wakes up, he quickly hugs her but he forgot his chest is made of steel and she ends up getting a nosebleed from the hug. This time he really did attempt murder, lol.

The dark force, Ling, is actually working for Li Yi and not Li Fu. It was all a trap to send Li Fu to his bitter end. Technically Ling is controlling everyone to work for him. Ling takes over Li Yi's body to kill Li Fu. Ling also retrieves the Galaxy Eye and almost kills Ji Le in the process. (Additionally it's revealed that it was Li Yi's people had killed the original Tang Qing Ye in order to make Li Yi focus on being the Crown Prince).

The funny:
→ Not only does ABCC have a tablet and smart watch, she's also got a GPS tracker. 
→ ABCC is jealous of anyone touching her TQF. It doesn't matter if it's a man or woman. 

[Ep21] Tang Qing Feng returns home to ABCC after handling business at court. She's complaining about this and that not letting him say a single word, in fact she's just worried about him. Romantically he pulls her in for a hug and mulls that if she's this worried about him he'll have to bring her everywhere from now on. ABCC is ABCC so her response is to hit him with her brick. He falls over with blood. She rants, of course he has to bring her or who else would he bring? 

ABCC and TQF search for the key ("Core") to activate the "Galaxy Eye" before Ling finds it. ABCC wishes DMM was here because that's his expertise but TQF quickly replies, "but it is only I who can ensure your safety." He's jealous, lol. However, he almost dies protecting her. Li Yi is working with Ling and injures Tang Qing Feng. To save him, ABCC gobbles up Braised Pork to level up her speed in order to bring a physician for him at light speed. I like how the drama doesn't forget to be funny even in the most serious moments.  Unfortunately, even the physician cannot save him. ABCC weeps at his bed begging him to not leave her. She resorts to one last method: kiss. Sleeping beauty? She thinks it will trigger his heart just like every time he kisses her. In TQF's dream world, he feels her kiss. There he meets his alternative soul who tells him he has died.
ABCC continues to weep at the stone TQF had assigned her. Her tears drip on the stone and that's the ingredient needed to make the stone sprout into a full grown tree. A miracle has happened. She hears footstep behind her. Turning around, she finds Tang Qing Feng alive and well. He tells her, "Your fiancé is back." They kiss. 'tis not a hallucination. She promises him she won't leave him for Duo Xing because even though she misses home, she'd miss him more. He tells her how he was saved: Bai Yu, the alternative soul, integrated with his. Bai Yu had saved him countless times before but this time it's different, he's disappeared.

[Ep22] Tang Qing Feng gifts her the necklace (Bai Yu) and promises her that even if he dies, the necklace will protect her. She ponders and suddenly hits him with her brick prohibiting him from saying the word "death." This girl practically murders him.

Ji Le is alive and resolves her misunderstanding with ABCC. They need to work together to find the Core as soon as possible otherwise Earth will be in smithereens. Once Ling finds the core before them, he will destroy Earth. However, the Duo Xing leader cannot allow that to happen and warns DMM if he cannot recover the Galaxy Eye in time, the leader will destroy Earth himself. DMM uses his smart brain and tells the leader that Xiao Ru Yi is pregnant with his child. First it was a kiss to save Earth and now it's his fetus. Where will this type of heroism ever find success in other dramas but this one? With that, DMM is given a bit more time before Earth is destroyed. However, they're captured by Li Yi's people. Li Yi also destroys Tang Qing Feng's school. I love how the drama doesn't forget to make TQF's people walk in circles to prepare for a fight. Ha.

With Ji Le's device (think of a metal detector), ABCC realizes where the Core is located. it's in TQF. She quickly grabs him away before Ji Le learns the truth. She's hugging a tree not knowing what to do with TQF. He tells her that he wants to take her to travel the Earth's mountains and oceans, and eat the world's delicacies. This thought is short-lived as Ling finds them. Tang Qing Feng runs in front of ABCC to protect her but Ling enters his body. Ling, the dark force, is unable to mix with the white force (the Core) in his body. Ling is forced out.

[Ep23] TQF faints from power overload. Ji Le and Ling realize TQF is the Core. ABCC sacrifices herself to give time for Ji Le to take TQF to safety. She's kidnaped to be Li Yi's wife. DMM is also in dire circumstances. He and Xiao Ru Yi are imprisoned. She reminds him he can transform as a cat to escape but DMM only has one more life left. Each transformation takes away one of his nine lives. He lies to her that he cannot transform because he's injured. In fact, he just wants to spend a bit more time with her before his death.

TQF wakes up from his injuries. He sees his Ah Bu who tells him that she won't leave him, "Wherever you are, I'll be there". However, it was a dream. Was it?

The funny: Dad and Duan Fei reveal Tang Qing Feng's real identity in a casual conversation when they're all imprisoned completely ignoring the fact that the Emperor is in the next cell. This is how the Emperor learns of his son's identity. It's also funny how childish these old men are. Can't tell who is more childish. 

[Ep24] TQF learns of his identity. When Bai Yu integrated with his soul to save him, the Core in TQF awakens. TQF understands his greater role in the world of galaxies . Meanwhile DMM uses his last life to save Xiao Ru Yi. She doesn't know it though. DMM gives her back the ring and tells her to leave while he disintegrates like fireflies. Ancient Detective fans, Wang Yan Yang doesn't seem to have any luck with rings. XRY is gazing at the beautiful light show not knowing that will be the last she'll see of him. When ABCC sees the light particles, she realizes immediately DMM has disappeared. Although his physical body has disappeared, it seems he's still alive? He's able to send a message to headquarters and beg their leader to give Earth a bit more time. ABCC also has problems of her own. She's forced to marry Li Yi. Tang Qing Yun helps her and these two girls seem to have something up their sleeve to stop the marriage.

The funny:
→ The ex-Emperor, Tang Dad, and Duan Fei are playing imaginary mahjong in the prison cell. Someone even decides to cheat, lol. How?
→ Xiao Ru Yi and Xiao Zhi He jailbreak with awesome music to save the ex-Emperor
There's one button to destroy Earth. That's it. No control system to prevent an accidental press.

[Ep25] Tang Qing Yun and Ah Bu Cha Cha link arms to take down Li Yi. It's futile, but Tang Qing Feng shows up in time to save the girls. He's activated his powers. Li Yi is overcome by Ling who controls him to kill TQF. Tang Qing Yun saves TQF and dies in place of him. However, she doesn't regret it at all. She's still in love with Li Yi. Lings leaves Li Yi's body and regret washes over Li Yi's face as he sees Tang Qing Yun has died because of him. Ling then sweeps ABCC away like a tornado. TQF follows to save her and an epic showdown commences. Ling and TQF are so fast all you see are black and white forces swirling around each other. If TQF had a bit more time to harness his powers, he wouldn't have lost to Ling. Now that Ling has seized TQF, the Core, he's about to unify him with the Galaxy Eye. Earth's demolition is soon to be. TQF begs ABCC to kill him. Once his heart stops, the Core will disappear and Earth will be saved. ABCC cries but listens to him. What's the point of saving him if Earth will disappear? He tells her to wait for him as he passes out from the sword she pierced through him. He falls onto her arms. I'm crying. Ling's plans fail and he disintegrates. The Duo Xing Leader receives information about the Core's and Ling's disappearance, he removes his hand from the button that will destroy Earth in one click. The leader is relieved because now he can enjoy his Braised Pork that only exists on Earth.

Months later. Xiao Ru Yi is still waiting for Duo Miao Miao. She's promoted. Tang Qing Yun's mother is pregnant! That's nice because Tang Dad has no children left after Tang Qing Yun's death. Does he even know Tang Qing Ye died?. Now then, the most important update we're all waiting for is TQF's whereabouts. ABCC had stopped his heart from beating but she's preserved his body. They're travelling in space and she's feeding the comatose TQF her Braised Pork. It's improved; it doesn't look as burnt. DMM is also there! He's a cat. She tells him they're about to return home. She looks out the window from her spacecraft to Earth. Suddenly, there's a voice, "Ah But Cha Cha". It's Tang Qing Feng calling out to her. The end. 

Remarks


[Actors/Actresses] This is my favourite Zheng Ye Cheng character to date. Tang Qing Feng is just effortlessly cool. An Yue Xi is the only actress I can ever imagine acting Ah Bu Cha Cha. Luckily they both return to reprise their roles in Season 2. Wang Yan Yang has a knack for humour. I saw him in Ancient Detective and so glad I re-watched this to admire him again. I wish he was in more dramas. He's got a natural knack for humour. Xu Hao is also in this. I'm amazed this drama had so many acting talents. 

[Ending] In episode 12, Ah Bu Cha Cha had promised that she would never kill Tang Qing Feng. She kept to that promise. It's funny how it's Ah Bu Cha Cha who has kept her words when her character is so frivolous and she sacrificed her love to save mankind. I assume she found a way to make his heart stop temporarily and save him with alien ways. I found the ending bittersweet. Tang Qing Feng is definitely alive but how can he as a human live with Ah Bu Cha Cha who can live much longer than he can? Saving him would only be temporally. I remember being left quite empty after watching the drama because I really wanted these two to have a happy ending. However, there's a season two. As I'm typing this I did watch Episode 1 of Season 2 and they're both definitely together still.

[Review] This is my second time watching this drama. I remember the first time I loved it and was hung up on the ending. This time, I still love it. I usually don't rewarch dramas, and to still love this drama this much is truly a testament to how good this was. I upgraded my rating for this after re-watching. The humour is still so relevant. The story is quite epic: an alien falls to Earth with a mission to save the human race. However, the strength of this drama is how it's weaved it's story with the humour. It's so consistent with each character's nuances for example, the way Ah Bu Cha Cha sits, the Tang servants scenes, the metal sound to Tang Qing Feng's chest, the thumb that TQF uses to measure stuff, etc. I'll never get over the portion sizes in this drama and the sailor moon type transformation that DMM and ABCC always make when chanting "wei le yu zhou de he ping" (for the peace of the universe). For me, there will never be a female character as quirky and spontaneous as Ah Bu Cha Cha. Her love for Tang Qing Feng is like no other. 

Rating5/5
