It's essentially emotional exploitation due to severe information asymmetry. Dong Yong takes advantage of the Seventh Fairy's ignorance of human rules, using 'filial piety' to coerce her into giving up her fairy status to be his slave. So-called 'love' is actually the Seventh Fairy's one-sided sacrifice." Watching "The Fence, the Woman, and the Dog," the line continues, "The tears of jujube blossoms can't drown a copper lock, but a kitchen knife can! Be kind-hearted, but ruthless! Separate the family when it's time to separate, overturn the table when it's time to overturn the table!"
