Love Weaves Through A Millenium
Episode 1
The first year of Young Shi (16 B.C.) The 27th day of the first month
Imperial Advisor Gong Ming
We've played chess against each other since we were young.
Your style has changed drastically since you've risen to a high position of power.
Gong Ming is even a little unaccustomed to it.
Glorious Grand Master, Wang Mang "The Giant"
We have become distant just because of an deposed Empress?
How could it just be because of an deposed Empress?
I was only adhering to loyalty and justice.
Loyalty and justice?
Gong Ming, look at this chess configuration.
One side is the deposed Empress Xu.
She gets worse and worse, deteriorating every day.
The other side is Zhao Fei Yan.
One day, she will inevitably become the mother of the nation.
Reinstating her is just the dream of wishful thinkers.
This is the current state of power.
This student [referring to himself] takes the world as his own responsibility.
I will put a word in and advise the Emperor.
I will wait.
Otherwise, how can I be responsible for the Great Han Dynasty? The entire nation?
Is the world in Gong Ming's heart,
merely the world of the Emperor?
A ruler orders his officials justly. His officials work for him with loyalty.
Follow the current and exercise limitless loyalty and justice.
There will then be peace on earth.
You only know about rulers and subjects. What do you know about peace?
If today, I don't take care of the state's affairs and the people drift aimlessly,
how can there be peace in this kind of world?
Then,
what is your intention?
The great tower is leaning. It's fate hangs dangerously.
Replace and rule in his stead.
Why can that not be?
For such treasonous words,
I can only pretend I've never heard them before.
The people only want a capable Emperor who can bring them warm clothing and food.
Your words are disployal and unjust!
If a monk cannot give up his worldly possessions,
how can he bring order to the family and rule the nation, bringing peace to the world?
Worldly matters are just like a game of chess.
Individual events predict the final outcome.
If you don't understand the current shifts of power, don't blame power for being cruel.
It is I, your wife, that has committed an grave crime.
My life has been fated. My enduring wishes cannot be forced.
The Emperor's grace and wisdom are like the rays of the great sun. Deposed Empress Xu
They suddenly change course and the dusk approaches.
Now, only a ghastly loneliness appears before my eyes.
Yet within your wife's heart, your magnificent grace will always remain.
She is unwilling to abandon them just because of your accusations.
Your wife desires quiet and peaceful quarters.
Yet the Emperor is never willing to visit any more.
Why then would he still keep me here?
The red steps to the palace doors, still preserve the footsteps of the Emperor.
Your wife gazes at it, cold and chilled.
In the end, I couldn't hold the tears that fall like rain.
Emperor Han, 12th Emperor of the dynasty Liu Ao
Men. Come here, quick.
Men, come here quick.
It seems like the victor of this game has already been decided.
Ultimately, you and I are not unfamiliar with each other.
Even though your style of playing chess has become more sharpened than before,
this move was horrible.
I was still able to anticipate it.
Do not draw blood. You are only allowed to gag her.
Remember this.
The deposed Empress committed suicide.

Move back.
Attack.
Worldly matters are not just like a game of chess. Thank you for letting me win.
Must we
be like this game of chess, wearing each other down until we vanish?
How are we vanishing? How are we enduring?
Conspiring to assassin the Empress would result in her entire family being murdered.
Is this an opportunity for your Wang family to grow in power?
Is Zhao Fei Yan being crowned as the Empress really imperative to you and the Wang family?
Even though the Empress is ill, the Emperor will ultimately sentence her to death anyway.
Besides,
can such a serious crime as Witchcraft be written off so easily?
Be honest with yourself. Do you think that with the Witchcraft incident,
Zhao Fei Yan was never involved?
Back then, the Psychic received orders to earn the Empress's trust.
Ever since it occurred, Zhao Fei Yan has constantly been attacking and manipulative of the Emperor.
All arrows were pointed towards the Empress.
Even though the Empress was saved from death, she was still deposed.
As for Zhao Fei Yan, if she was involved in the scheme,
how could she not left any trace?
- Could it be... - That's right.
I already thoroughly investigated this matter. I will report this to the Emperor tomorrow.
I will take it as removing evil doers and returning order to the state.
Gong Ming.
You haven't changed at all.
Gong Ming, you are the descendant of saints. Your character is bright as the day.
Naturally, you would never make a wrong step.
To you, the two words of loyalty and justice are grave as the mountains.
I respect you regarding this point.
Yet I never envy you for it.
This day, my Wang family is the true sun in the middle of the day.
You working for the deposed Empress, isn't that abandoning the light and allying with the dark?
The Emperor refuses to see or listen while Zhao Fei Yan has gained absolute trust.
Even you might not be able to prevent the raging waves.
If someone twists the truth,
Gong Ming might not be unable to stop the raging waves.
The power of the Wang family has spread all over the court.
You're only a scholar, all alone. If you act on your own, you would only be a praying mantis trying to struct a chariot.
Two people walking down different paths cannot work together.
Farewell.
Since you are already aware,
you can't totally withdraw either.
I don't care.
Go after him. Capture him,
but don't hurt him.
Timing and subtitles brought to You by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki.Team
My Lord.
Ying Yue. How is the Empress?
The Empress is safe and sound. Just as my lord anticipated, there were assassins.
Thankfully, nothing serious occurred.
Only now do I understand that the Wang family was long involved.
I'm afraid they won't let go of that Psychic.
My lord. I have already hidden the witness well.
You should go protect the Psychic, in case anything happens.
I will prepare to enter the palace and report to the Emperor. You should move quickly as well.
If this affects the Wang family, will they let you off?
I'm willing to enter the palace to protect my lord.
Wang Mang won't do anything to me.
He may be ambitious but we grew up together.
I know that he isn't a cold and unaffectionate man.
Even though I don't believe that he would take action,
when things grow worse, I'm afraid that the Wang family will
do anything under extreme circumstances.
You need not worry.
Yes.
Ying Yue only begs my lord to be careful.
This is...
My father left me this jade ornament.
The priest Nan Hua graced him with it many years ago.
It's an extremely rare heavenly item.
I hope that it may protect my lord.
This is such an expensive item. You should keep it for yourself.
Please accept this, My Lord.
Just now, you fended off assassins. Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
In that case, I am relieved. I will leave now. Take care.
15 February 2015
Are you okay?
It's okay.
Thanks.
- Thank you. - You don't need to thank me.
Bye.
♫[Boss, where are we going?]♫
Sister Jing. I just finished doing a job for a children's event. When would I find the time to change?
I'm not even famous. No one took any photos of me.
Where are you?
Why would there be so much traffic during New Year's? It shouldn't.
What should we do? Without her clothes, how is our princess going to audition?
Stop annoying me!
I'm already annoyed enough wearing this costume.
Xiang Xiang. We may not be able to rush there in time.
What should I do then? I need my clothes.
Jing Jie, I will talk to you later.
Wait! Wait!
Wait!
It is I, your wife, that has committed an unpardonable crime.
My life has been fated. My enduring wishes cannot be forced.
The Emperor's grace and wisdom are like the rays of the great sun.
They suddenly change course and the dusk approaches.
Your Majesty. Oh, your Majesty.
I was too clueless to have committed such a crime.
I know that my sin can be exonerated.
Although I was imprisoned in this cold palace.
I'm here to register.
I'm Lin Xiang Xiang, Audition Number 36.
I brought my clothes. They are in here.
Is there a dressing room here?
Don't worry, darling. No one would look at you here.
It will be your turn soon. You are lucky.
Thanks.
You look too smug.
I always bump into such a staff.
But.. with this theater group obviously
he has some high standard.
I got it.
Sister Jing. I'm not late.
Let me tell you. Not only am I not late, I can borrow some clothes too.
Let me tell you, those horoscopes are very accurate.
Perhaps if I shoot this movie, I may become famous.
Hello?
What are you looking at?
- Xiang Xiang?ng to you.
What is there to look at?
Draw it back.
Draw it back! Did you hear me?
Let's see if you can see now.
Hey.
Hey, come here and take a look.
What's wrong, Brother Fei?
Nothing. Let's continue.
Xiang Xiang.
Your zipper.
So dingy.
It's all because of you.
I'll sue you for sexual harassment if you keep at it.
Why would you say this?
We have known each other for a long time and you are still afraid that I have seen it?
Who says that I know you for that long? It's already in the past.
Who was the one who said that we wouldn't be friends anymore after we broke up?
We haven't seen each other in a long time. Stop being so hypocritical.
What are you doing here?
You're busy but everyone else is unemployed.
Of course, I have something to do.
You have such a sharp tongue. I'm asking why are you changing here?
I'm here for an audition.
Audition for a movie? It can't be for the new Zhao Fei Yan movie?
- Yes. - Don't tell me it's for the role of Empress Xu?
Is this for real?
It's for Empress Xu.
You are not suitable for this role at all.
Empress Xu is gentle and quiet,
And you... are such a man.
I'm not talking nonsense with you anymore.
Hear me out. In the end, it will depend on your acting standard...
Come off it. Don't tell me this.
I was only joking. We can still be friends, right?
Aren't you curious about your ex-boyfriend's situation?
What's there to be curious about? Your messy business has nothing worth being curious over.
It was all over the entertainment news. Enough is enough with those speculating actresses.
- That was because of the paparazzi... - Don't bother to explain. I know you best.
Don't follow me.
Call me!
I hope we don't meet again.
Do your best for your audition.
Timing and subtitles brought to You by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki.Team
I'm so nervous. You are not nervous at all?
Lin Xiang Xiang. You can do it.
You are the best. Cheers!
Lin Xiang Xiang.
I'm here.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Number 36, Lin Xiang Xiang.
You were a singer in the past?
Yes, I did that for two years but decided to go into acting instead.
You don't seem to have much acting experience. All your roles were minor.
You even did a commercial?
Even though they were minor roles, I worked hard to increase my skill.
Never the less, my acting is still good.
We have been hearing the same thing all day.
Why don't you sing instead
for a change?
Okay then.
Lin Xiang Xiang, sing us a song.
- Sing? - Yes, sing.
♫ Just like the a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, ♫
♫ You have appeared to my life, ♫
♫ Feel like I've never been the same, ♫
♫ Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands, ♫
♫ Honoured to love you. ♫
♫ Still I wonder why it is, ♫
♫ I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, ♫
♫ We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind, ♫
♫You've got this look I can't describe, You make me feel like I'm alive, ♫
♫ When everything else is au fait, Without a doubt you're on my side, ♫
♫ Heaven has been away too long, ♫
♫ Can't find the words to write this song, Oh...Your love, ♫
♫ Still I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this with anyone but you, ♫
♫ We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind, ♫
♫ Now I have come to understand, The way it is, ♫
♫ Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, ♫
♫ You have appeared to my life, Feel like I'll never be the same, ♫
♫ Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands... ♫
Excellent! Excellent! Very Good!
You sing really well.
Now show us something from the script, Ok?
How about an ad lib instead?
A performance should be an ad lib.
Then we can see an actor's real charisma and creativity.
Isn't that so, Director?
It's fine.
- Okay. - In any case, Yu Fei is cast as the Emperor.
Let him do the lines then.
He's cast as the Emperor?
Why don't you both start acting then?
You are even nervous when you are trying out?
This won't do. If we are really going to start filming, what are you going to do?
It's not like you can only just sing.
Bring it on.
OK! Let's do an ad lib.
Your Majesty!
Why are you so loose every day,
and have such a night life?
With all those different women,
aren't you afraid that you will harm yourself from playing aound too much?
I really lost my patience with you today.
♫[Boss, where are we going?] ♫
[Sister Jing]
Hello.
How was the audition? Why aren't you answering your calls?
Sister Jing.
About that movie,
there isn't any movie anymore.
No more movie. What's going on?
It's Han Yu Fei's fault.
Han Yu Fei? What has this got to do with him?
He has been cast as the Emperor.
I heard that they wanted to cast him.
If he takes on that role, it suits him well.
You knew and you didn't tell me?
If I knew he was cast, I wouldn't have gone to the audition.
How would I know that he accepted the role? Moreover, what's wrong with working with your ex-boyfriend?
Why should I work with him? I'm not crazy.
Unfortunately, I wasn't chosen.
Are you sure?
He...
He provoked me and asked me to do an ad lib.
He's completely evil.
In the end, I got in too deep.
I slapped him.
Then I realised,
I'm suppose to be Empress Xu who only grins and bears hardship.
Although it was very satisfying to give a piece of your mind to that jerk,
you should have been aware of the situation.
You wasted such a good opportunity.
If you were in my place and lost your temper,
you might just finish him off for good.
That's right too.
You should've just let him leave without taking anything from you.
But you should have been more professional.
You are indeed Fahai the Buddhist monk who doesn't understand love.
It's good enough to love myself. Loving that rotten man...
Are you drunk?
Or have you been effected by that narcissist king?
I only drank a bottle.
Even though I wasn't chosen, I feel good this way too.
Goodnight, Sister Jing.
Water.
Waiter, one more bottle.

♫[Boss, where are we going?] ♫
Huh?
- Hello. - Where are you?
- Who is this? - You don't have my number?
You also can't recognise my voice? You are too much.
Why you again?
Have you been drinking?
What business is that of yours?
- Want to meet up? - Why would I meet you?
I don't feel too well. I'm going to the hospital. Want to visit me?
Your body is weakened by all that partying?
My faced is disfigured...by you.
I have been too busy lately and didn't sleep properly. I can't sleep.
Don't risk your life making money.
You have never been able to sleep well.
You don't eat either. You definitely won't sleep well.
You must have gone out to drink.
I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. I'm hanging up.
Empress Xu!
- You don't want the role? - What?
You really don't want the role?
Of course, I desperately do
but what has this got to do with you?
You've been gloating. Are you happy now?
So what if you are the main lead?
You are not my boss. Don't get involved.
I'm telling you one more time. We are already strangers.
Mind your own business.
If you call to disturb me again, you are doomed!
Hello? Hello?
This is going to be interesting.
But you are really amazing.
What do you mean?
Of course you are amazing. Without my knowledge, you managed to get her phone number.
You're really a new actress player.
No. She is...
What do you mean by that? Keep quiet.
Have I asked for your opinion?
Han Yu Fei. You are so immature.
Does your mom know that?
♫Boss, where are we going?♫ Why is he fooling around again?
Why are you so annoying?
Ah? I'm Yang Yuen. What happened? Someone bothered you?
Director Yang.
The bus is leaving now. Please pay your fare.
Hello?
My cellphone!
Director Yang!
Hello? Why is your voice so soft? Are you not awake?
What did you say? I can't hear you.
What? Can you hear me?
- Sorry, sorry. - What?
Speak. I can hear you.
Hey young man, can't you let me sit down?
I've been standing for quite a while now.
Don't you know how to respect the elders and love the youngsters?
I've been working the whole day and I'm tired. Why should I give up my seat to you?
Can you be quiet? I can't hear.
- What? - Hello. We have been trying to contact you...
to cast you as the Empress.
Hello? Lin Xiang Xiang!
Thank you, Director. Thank you, Producer.
I have confidence in acting this role.
I will be the best Empress Xu in history.
Okay, fine.
Sorry everyone! I know I'm bad and rude,
but I passed the audition.
I'm going to play Empress Xu.
Empress Xu!
I'm going to act as Empress Xu!
Bye.
Of course. The Director personally told me so.
Really?
You got it?!
I'm too happy.
Don't get too happy until you are oblivious.
You need to use a project to get into the headlines. Don't you dare give me something negative!
I know.
If you're not my dearest mother-like fan, I'm not sure who is.
Okay, Sister Jing, bye.
Year 16 B.C.
Did the Emperor send you to kill me?
Master Physician, there is no way out for you.
Accept your death.
You're just working under your master's orders. So what if you take my life?
Even if I die, the truth will still be the truth.
I will only ask you one question.
Does Wang Mang know about this?
How could the Glorious Grand Master not know?
Are you okay, Big Brother?
Stayed tuned...the next segment is coming up!
Are you okay, Big Brother?
Sorry.
The cars are passing through and you are standing in the middle of the road.
You almost lost your life.
What is this place?
What are you up to?
Is this your first time in the city?
Where is this place?
What?
Why are you dressed in a period costume?
Your language is so proper.
You are an extra in a movie, right?
Period drama extra?
What are you doing in the night?
Big Brother?
Big Brother.
Maiden. Who on earth are you?
Who are you calling maiden?
Trying to take advantage of me? Do you know who I am?
Forget it. There's no point telling you anyway.
It won't be a secret in two days anyways. I...
am Empress Xu.
The Empress Xu of the Han Dynasty.
Empress Xu?
You are shocked, right?
Hey, where are you going? Be careful.
Have you been drinking?
So, this is how my scent is.
I would like to ask you again. What is this place?
Maiden, who are you
to dare say you are Empress Xu?
Where did the assassins go?
Where are they?
You mean it is so competitive in the acting circle?
Even a spare actor is so into his acting.
I'm leaving first.
Forget it. What's your name?
Where is your home?
What is this?
Wait a minute. You need to go to the hospital.
Does it hurt?
I'm going to call for a taxi.
Taxi!
What's going on? Where is he?
Where is he?
How could he have disappeared into thin air?
Search now. You must find him.
Go now.
It can't be.
Am I already dead?

Time will change...
when the scholar's life is in danger.
What
is this?
Am I in a dream?
Where did he go?
♫[Boss, where are we going?]
Hello, Sister Jing.
Hello. Where are you? Why are you not back yet?
I just met someone.
Seeing that he's hurt, I wanted to send him to the hospital. He suddenly disappeared.
What are you talking about? Mind your own business and come back now.
I'm not being a busybody.
Who was the one who chased after a man and then branded as a pervert?
It was only because I wanted to let him know that his zipper was open.
Also, I'm warning you. As of now, I don't care what you do.
Whether it's your behavior or whatever, you must watch what you say.
Also, don't wander outside. Then I can't find you.
Understand? Are you listening?
Okay, I know. I'm going back now.
He probably should be fine.
Your subject congratulates you, Your Highness.
You both have also worked hard.
De Xin, don't.
Outrageous! How can the Queen Goddess be so unreasonable?
Empress, I wish you all the best and hope that your beauty will last forever. Cheers.
Cheers.
You are a female actress .
Don't you know self discipline?
Jing Sister is right. You need to be more narcisstic.
Maintaining your beauty should not be a problem with a few tricks.
Come, try this.
You will look pretty during the announcement event in two days.
I get it. I will try it later.
But talking about this..
this is the first time in my life
my name will be third in the cast list.
Yes, finally a decent role since you became an actress five years ago.
Wasn't this because of your explosive temper?
How many other roles were lost due to your temper?
Jing Sister, why bring up the past?
Accompanying your star for so many years must have been hard on you.
I will definitely repay you.
You are such a sweet talker
Come to think of it, you are a low-key starlett.
What star?
You have just obtained a supporting role
Everything has only just started.
Jing Sister, it won't kill you to celebrate with me.
Today is a big day to celebrate. Come, let's finish this.
There is one thing I would like to request of you.
Can you make peace with Han Yu Fei?
If you quarrel with him again and let it affect your work, I'm going to kill you.
Thinking about working with Han Yu Fei, gives me a headache.
When I think about seeing him everyday...
♫[Boss, where are we going?]
Why do you keep calling me?
What are you doing? You are not coming to meet me?
Do you think I will meet you just because you say so?
I must be shameless then. I'm not going.
Who's that?
If you want to be Empress Xu, you better come and meet me.
Are you the shareholders to decide whether I can act or not?
This is such a joke. I'm hanging up!
He antagonizes me first...
I was wrong. I will go and meet him.
What did I just tell you?
What's so great about this? It's only just a movie.
♫ [Boss, where are we going?]
Han Yu Fei's incoming call.
Are you here?
Yes. Where are you?
Beautiful girl. Are you here alone?
What do you mean?
Let go.
Didn't you say that you weren't coming? You even dressed beautifully.
Even if I didn't dressed up, I'm still beautiful.
You are still the same. You love coming to such places.
I haven't been here for a long time. Frankly, I'm tired of this too.
Who cares?
Tell me what you want to say and then I'm leaving.
You are still wearing this?
Didn't I buy you this?
Don't think too much about this.
I still remember when we went to the movies and which movies we saw.
I don't remember.
I remember you said the movie was bad
and said that the male lead's acting sucked.
You also said that I was better.
Frankly, I haven't been doing well.
You are the most popular now.
Yes.
As you would say, I am a tough nut now.
Well, one could also say so.
You did not invite me here to talk about the past?
Of course not. Did you read the script?
Of course.
Which part do you remember? Recite your lines to me.
Why are you suddenly telling me to act for you?
Even though the Director chose you, I'm still a bit worried.
Come, act a scene for me.
Have you forgotten the lines? If yes, let's ad lib.
If you feel bad about this, I will do it first.
Xiu Shi!
I have allowed you to enter the Palace.
Since then, I, the Emperor, have not mistreated you.
Unexpectedly, you have committed this outrageous sin.
Wait a minute.
Why are you not answering me?
Xiu Shi.
I was ignorant.
Please pardon me.
Wait. If you are going to act, do a good job.
Show your emotions. Come.
Your Majesty.
Please spare my life
Starting today,
you will lose your Empress title.
Your Majesty.
The reason for my action
was to change the Emperor's mind.
Starting today,
go to the Cold Palace.
Emperor, please pardon me.
Loneliness and hardship
in the present situation
is no different from the Cold Palace.
But despite all of this,
I still love you.
Your Majesty.
When I came into the Palace
I was helpless.
It was through your tender care
from the start
that you entered into my heart.
Xiu Shi.
Let's start anew.
Go and die!
Bastard. Trying to take advantage of me?
Don't let me see you again!
What are you doing here?
We were concerned that you would get into trouble. Didn't expect to see us in the bar?
Stop fidgeting or I will punch you in the mouth. How did it go?
He is brain damaged. He wanted to start anew.
It's good to start anew.
Aren't you also having a hard time forgetting your old love?
Who can't forget old love? I'm not interested!
That's right.
We are not paparazzi. We don't create rumors.
Let's go.
- What are you looking at? - Why can't I look at his build?
I have been going to the gym lately.
Look at the rest of the men. They look like pale chickens.
It's that man just now. I'm really envious.
He looks a bit like...
Lee Min Ho.
Why so noisy? Let's go.
That's right. Why are we here to look at men?
Let's go.
Brother Fei.
Xiang Xiang left?
Yes. She took her coat from me and left.
What were you both doing?
Fei Ge, why are you flirting again?
What do you mean? It sounds so ugly.
We were together.
You were together?
Did you patch things up with her?
It would have been best if we did. After going full circle, she's still the best.
Is this for real? What's so great about her?
I just saw her pushing you into the pool.
She probably still remembers her hatred for you.
Why did you both break up?
Don't be like this and look at me.
Are you drunk?
Look. Let me share this with you. Even if you both get together again,
you can't make the relationship last. Why should she be thrilled about you?
Actually if measure you against the boyfriend bench mark
you are considered an inferior product, weirdo.
Wow!
How could you say that about me?
The truth hurts.
Sorry.
You better shut up.
Did you drink? Didn't I tell you not to drink?
Who's going to drive now? Do a good job instead having fun every day.
And you still called me inferior product!
Tell me, who's the weirdo instead?
I'm the weirdo.
I swear I won't do this again.

Gong Ming.
The river drawing is really mysterious and engrossing.
Teacher En.
Come.
Sorry for my sudden appearance but I need to hide here.
No problem. You can stay with me.
Are you keeping this a secret from Ying Yue too?
Yes.
Is your injury okay?
The injury is recovering.
If only a human could heal fast.
Teacher En, you don't intend to return to Chang An?
En Teacher is versed in river currents.
You are an expert. How can you not work for the Palace?
You... always willing to lecture your elders.
Confucius taught us filial piety (to be a good son/daughter)
I would not be able to achieve it while dealing with royal affairs.
Teacher, is this your excuse?
The Heaven has already decided for us.
Mere mortals like me or you cannot change fate so easily.
Even if Heaven has decided if this is against the norm
we shouldn't change it too.
If you are stubborn, you'll get punished
I am worried about your well-being
Teacher En, don't worry.
But I have something to discuss.
One of my students gave me this jade a month ago.
Is there a special purpose to the jade?
I heard it came from a rare tribe with special powers.
Time will change when facing death. A chance for a new life.
Read one sentence after the other.
Really unique!
I am not trying to hide the truth
- Because of this jade, I experienced something strange. - Oh?
I thought the swing of the sword would end my life.
I thought I was already dead
but I was still alive.
It doesn't matter how I look at it, I am still alive.
What did you see?
All things were very strange.
There was also a maiden that spoke to me.
She doesn't look like other Han people.
You met a girl?
I'm really envious of you.
When travelling far, one rarely encounters people.
Yet you meeting a strange maiden must be Heaven's will.
I don't understand. The place I traveled to was vast and unguarded, although it was not different than our land.
Where did this jade pendant bring me and what's the connection?
Hmmm, you will probably know in the future.
The ginger tea is getting cold. Let's drink it now.
Speaking of this, Ying Yue is interested in you.
What do you think about this?
Ying Yue and I are just like a brother and sister.
Does Ying Yue think this way too?
Gong Ming.
You are righteous but too traditional and stiff.
Right now, the country is in trouble. I have no time for the affairs of the heart.
Yet I would like to untangle myself from this potential step.
I already lost someone.
How could I lose another again?
Does his Majesty know about this?
Isn't this a disaster?
I have been watching from the side.
We cannot take up any actions now because of his Majesty
or any other things.
This matter effects us all.
If there is any evidence left, my family will be in trouble.
Regardless, we must find all the evidence.
The other side still has material and human evidence.
Doctor, what is your opinion in this matter?
Even if he is your close friend, you can't just let this go.
We cannot remain idle.
Finally it is quiet.
The bird is about to die.
Did you find him?
I have searched all the hiding places.
If we can't find him,
we will make him come here on his own.
I have searched all the hiding places.
If we can't find him,
we will make him come here on his own.
Ying Yue,
find her whereabouts.
I already told Uncle Xiang that I don't need a bodyguard.
But I'm not willing to leave you, My Lord.
But I don't want you to be hurt because of me either.
Even if I'm hurt, I will never leave you.
Stubborn!
If you could, you'd hide me in your sleeve.
You are only returning now? Something big has happened.
What's wrong?
His lord is not back yet?
There is no news after he left for the Palace.
His lord said he was going to the palace?
I went there to ask around. No one in the Palace saw him.
Could it be that something happened to him?
You are here.
It has been a long time since we saw each other.
What did you do with him?
It has been a long time since we met, where are all the greetings?
Where is he now?
It can't be...
You think...
I killed him. Right?
I'm going to kill you.
Are you really going to kill me?
If you killed him,
I will definitely kill you.
And kill myself after that.
He is not dead.
Gong Ming wasn't the only one with the ulterior motive.
You�also have an ulterior motive.
It's Gong Ming.
You seem to be shaken in your beliefs.
You both have been friends since youth.
- I can't believe that you will treat him like this! - We took opposite paths and are unable to align.
We are on different paths that can't be aligned. This he personally told me.
I also don't have a choice.
Even though this world is large,
I�don't even have one close friend.
In the past,
Lord Gong Ming and I trusted you.
Trusted me?
Let me ask you something then.
Yesterday you helped him and sabotaged my plan.
Now,
I'm giving you one last chance.
If he must die,
or I must die,
which of us would you choose?

Is this your answer?
What's wrong?
His bodyguard refuses to tell us about his whereabouts.
Watch her,
but don't harm her.
How am I going to make her talk then?
She doesn't need to talk.
Gong Ming will talk.
If he knows that I'm holding Ying Yue,
he will come here himself.
Go now.
Stop fighting.
My Lord. Something big has happened.
This is really a change of atmosphere.
Even this fellow is full of nerves
- Speak. - Yue... Ying Yue...she...
Something happened to Ying Yue?
Lord Gong Ming. You are here?
Everyone is worried about you.
You said that something happened to Ying Yue.
I told Ying Yue that you were missing and
she then went to look for Lord Wang.
She hasn't return since.
What are you doing?
This is a sponsored piece!
Where are the tissues?
Pull yourself together. This is only an announcement function.
You don't need to be nervous.
Yes, we are nervous.
Who's nervous?
What is there to be nervous about?
For the sake of my ancestors, I beg you.
I'm begging you.
Don't say anything bad in front of everyone.
Make no mistakes, all right?
Why would I do that? I have experience.
Don't worry.
You can do it. Come.
Let me massage you.
Be careful. Watch your image.
This�can cause unnecessary rumors.
Okay, enough.
Do you want to boost up your boobs? We can't lose to Nana.
- No. - Xiang Xiang, be careful.
I heard that Zhao Nana is very harsh
and arrogant. Make sure she has nothing on you.
Really? But when I watch the reporters interviewing her,
she is very well-behaved.
She acts very well. Can you not be so naive?
Stupid.
In any case, when we come across any big shots,
we should not short sell ourselves.
Don't provoke her so we do not have to hide in shame later.
I get it.
But talking about this, Nana is my favourite actress.
Thinking of shooting a movie with her,
I'm a bit nervous.
They are here.
Zhao Nana!
It's a celebrity. Let's go now.
- It's Nana. - I'm not interested in this kind of Goddess.
Nana!
She is so beautiful.
Hello.
Dear me, you are a celebrity too!
Let's go in too.
Come in.
Thank you.
Well... hello.
I'm Lin Xiang Xiang who's taking on the role of Empress Xu.
Tell this person not to talk to me.
I don't want to talk to anyone who got in because of connections.
What?
- What did she say? - What connections?
What?!
It's fine. Big shots are like this.
You don't have to worry. They do this deliberately.
I'm here.
I already checked. Frankly, there is some bad news.
What bad news?
Everyone is saying that Xiang Xiang got the role of Empress Xu
because she used Han Yu Fei's connections.
What's the situation? Han Yu Fei didn't want Xiang Xiang to act.
Who's the one who spread this unfounded rumour?
I don't know. All the staff are saying this.
I'm so angry.
What the devil is happening?
You... don't mind this.
I will definitely catch that despicable rumor starter.
Yes, we will catch the culprit.
Don't worry.
What's wrong?
Why do you suddenly want to see me? You miss me?
Tell me honestly.
Did I get the role because of you?
Did you tell the Director to give me the role?
How did you know?
Why did you do this?
I only wanted to help you.
Help me?
So that we can start anew later.
I already told you that I don't want to start anew with you.
- Why? - I am not frivolous like you.
Yet you are trying to bring back the time through buying my love.
I also did not need your help in getting this role.
I did it on my own.
Since you say this, it's my fault for not thinking from your viewpoint.
Although, I did this with good intentions.
Don't mind all this. Accept the role. Do a good job and prove yourself.
Wouldn't this be good? Okay?
I don't need you to do this.
If I wanted to use connections, I didn't need to wait until today.
I want to depend on my own ability.
I want to depend on my own ability to succeed.
Why are you so serious? What have you heard?
Have you read something on the internet?
Xiang Xiang!
The intro will wait for Lin Xiang Xiang's entrance.
Make sure that you remind her on her entrance.
Okay.
Sister Jing. Xiang Xiang is missing. I can't find her. What should we do?
What?!
The announcement is just about to start...
First, we would like to invite
the actress playing the role of Empress Xu,
Lin Xiang Xiang, please enter.
Maybe the applause is not loud enough.
Smile.

Are you okay?
Maiden.
In the next episode of Love Weaves through the Millennium...
I need to get rid of political opponents supporting the Royals first.
I brought this upon myself.
Being able to stand here together with you for the last time,
We finally have reached the end point.
Since you have sent someone to kill me why pretend?
The future is with me.
Future?
I need you lady to help me.
- This is a Han Book. - The Royal bloodline.
I cannot be nervous.
♫ You come and you go and here I stay, waiting. ♫
♫ Whether you are far or near, it still pains me. ♫
♫ If there was something I could do for you ♫
♫ maybe the flowers would not wither and fall. ♫
♫ Are you still here? Do you still remember? ♫
♫ Far away, under grey skies, the wind still blows ♫
♫ I want to see you but I can't. I want to ask again ♫
♫ When will you be able to stay here? ♫
♫ When will you finally get here? ♫
