And it is by Dongfang Qingcan’s side that Orchid discovers that she is more than just the weak underestimated spirit that everything in the Fairy Realm thought her to be and learns she is more powerful than anyone realized.Ĭonsisting of about 36 episodes, Love Between Fairy and Devil is a tightly-knit drama that manages to encapsulate romance, drama, action, and comedy. It is from Orchid that he learns being “unfeeling” (something that has a deeper explanation in the show) is actually keeping him from his true potential, and by unlocking his heart, he is able to protect Orchid just as she is able to protect him. With Orchid, her emotional nature (which is initially seen as a sign of weakness by Dongfang Qingcan) is revealed to be a source of her strength, allowing her to draw compassion for those different from her, and comfort Dongfang Qingcan in his moments of vulnerability. With his “beastly nature,” Dongfang Qingcan is seen as a righteous leader of the Moon Tribe, a man fiercely devoted to his people and willing to do anything to solve their years of agony in the war between their people and the Fairy Realm. However, as the two get to know each other, they discover unique qualities belonging to the other person that allows them to look past what is just at the surface. Meanwhile, cast as her visual opposite in menacing dark attires, the ominous Dongfang Qingcan is portrayed as the power-hungry and emotionally frozen combatant who rolls his eyes at Orchid’s frivolous and romantic nature. In the initial episodes, Orchid appears to be a sweet (if a bit naive) fairy often in pink, airy clothes, more concerned with attracting the attention of her beloved Chang Heng than any power struggles. Like many romances, the show plays a bit into the “ opposites attract” trope. There Orchid discovers more about Dongfang Qingcang’s past and finds that the war between the Fairy Realm and the Moon Tribe is more complicated than anyone ever realized. Yet things soon become complicated again when Orchid finds herself an enemy of the Fairy Realm and Dongfang Qingcang steals her away to his home in the Moon Tribe. Yet as the two spend more time together, Orchid and Dongfang Qingcang find themselves becoming friendlier to each other and enjoying each other’s presence.

Orchid, (unknowing of the One Heart Curse), is initially annoyed at her unwelcomed house guest and is under the impression that Dongfang Qingcang is in love with her, disliking his presence and claiming that she is in love with Chang Heng.

Wishing to free himself from this curse in order to return to his full power and return to war, Dongfang Qingcang stays by Orchid’s side at her residence of Arbiter Hall of Shui Yun Tian's Si-ming palace, reluctantly protecting her and catering to her whims. As a result of being freed from the Haotian Tower, Dongfang Qingcang is cast under the “One Heart Curse,” an affliction that binds him to Orchid, creating a bond that causes him to feel her emotions and pain.
