Episode 07
Why wasn't it me who blocked the bullet for Pei Lin?
Why was it that woman instead?
That was really bad timing.
Get lost! You bother me!
Jin Zhi.
Why are you losing your temper this time?
Senior Master, you are back.
Leave.
Jin Zhi. Why don't you ask me
how my meeting went today?
The rules are set. If Fourth Master says the moon is square
no one will dare protest.
What is there to say?
After dealing with a desperate situation,
Fourth Master solidified his power as Commander in Chief
so now the Senior Generals will follow him in the blink of an eye.
He is therefore very competent.
Just now, during the military meeting,
officers congratulated him on his victory.
The atmosphere was
just like winning a big battle.
Jin Zhi,
it was not easy for Fourth Master to build his power.
It really wasn't that easy.
Still, six provinces north of the river
are under his sole influence now.
It's like lying on a tiger's back.
What is now interesting is how the Cheng family will protect itself in Chengzhou.
Shouldn't you be worrying about this?
That's right.
Fourth Master just took over the reins of power.
When he becomes magnificent,
the older ones, like us, will gradually become useless.
Dad. It's good that you acknowledge this.
- Brother. - Jin Zhi.
Brother.
Finally you are back. Sit.
I'm sorry.
After being back for quite a while, I didn't come to see you.
I didn't have time to talk to you either.
It's okay. It's a coincidence you came back,
during such tumultuous times in Chengzhou.
Yes. What's wrong?
You are playing chess on your own again?
I just finished.
I met Pei Lin at the Governor's mansion today.
Compared to four years ago,
he has changed a lot.
How did he change?
I feel that Pei Lin, in the past,
was a gentle person.
He has now significantly changed because of power.
He has become someone who is cruel and uses underhanded tactics.
He became cold and ruthless.
Due to the rebellion, the Xu and Chang families had to be killed.
I do not agree with this kind of tactic.
Brother. You and Pei Lin are two different people.
Of course, you wouldn't understand.
What's wrong? Do you think his method is right?
Benevolence is not allowed in politics.
Pei Lin has to act this way.
People will have excuses for their actions.
I just don't understand
why you are using those excuses to do things which aren't right.
With someone like you in this world,
there will always be someone like me too.
It is a universal law.
You should be able to understand this.
Brother, be a good doctor.
Just do what you think is right.
That's right. At the Governor's mansion today,
I saved a woman.
This woman is very strong.
Her wound was very deep and she lost a lot of blood.
She didn't even scream in pain.
Her family name seems to be Yin. Have you met her?
If it were me, I could have endured it too.
Brother.
When you met Pei Lin today, did he mention me?
He didn't today.
He wouldn't leave Miss Yin's side.
Why is fate producing such unfortunate circumstances?
If the injured party was me,
would he have stayed by my side too?
Fourth Master. Miss Yin's condition is still not stable.
Jing Wan.
Between Wuchi and Chengzhou,
it's a long distance.
Why
did you come into my life?
Why did you appear right now, 20 years into my life.
Why
did you show up at this time?
Also,
there were so many people
at the celebration
Why must it have been you
who blocked the bullet for me?
Jing Wan. Do you believe in fate?
In the past, I didn't believe in it.
After all these fateful encounters,
I believe in it a bit now.
Xin Zhi, you are here so early in the morning.
Taking care of the patient is my responsibility.
Let me do it.
Mom.
It's me. Is your pain severe?
She is probably not conscious yet. Let her sleep.
Jian Zhang... Jian Zhang.
Find Xu Jian Zhang now.
This... I'm afraid, right now, it's inconvenient.
Should we wait until it's light out before we send someone over.
What do you mean by it's inconvenient? Go now.
Yes.
Did Miss Yin come back?
Fourth Master wants you to go there.
Fourth... Fourth Master?
Why does Fourth Master want to see me at this time?
Lieutenant Shen...
Is Jing Wan still at the residence?
Master Xu.
Miss Yin would like to see you.
She is injured.
Jing Wan is injured?
Come with me.
Please enter.
Jing Wan.
Young Master.
This is Fourth Master.
You are...
So, it's you.
What's wrong? Master Xu doesn't recognise me anymore?
Fourth Master.
Don't.
Close the curtain.
Miss.
Leave. I want to sleep.
Third Miss. Fourth Master has instructed us
to stay with you.
Leave.
I want to be alone.
Okay, we will leave. We will be just be outside.
If there is anything, just call us.
Okay, let's leave.
Child.
Are you and your father in heaven now?
You must wait for me.
Go and get Doctor Cheng now.
Miss.

Fourth Brother.
I'm begging you.
I'm begging you to let my child go.
I'm begging you.
- How is Third Sister? - It's not critical.
Because she doesn't have the energy, the cut is not deep.
The artery was not effected.
I will stay here and take care of her until her condition is stable.
Thank you, Xin Zhi.
Xin Zhi!
I know in your heart you blame me.
But all these things
happened in an unpredictable way.
I'm also very sad.
When you gave the order to get rid of her family,
you should have thought
about the damage and harm you would be causing her.
No. I didn't want to do that too.
I hope you can understand me.
Of course, I understand you.
Didn't you do this to gain power?
You were only thinking about one thing.
Don't tell me, just because of this, you kill innocent people?
And hurt your family deeply?
Then, in your heart, love and sympathy,
are not worth all this, right?
Why has ambition and greed for power
caused so many people to die?
Was there no way to avoid it?
Jing Wan. You must tell me
what is going on exactly?
Jian Zhang.
Jing Wan.
Jing Wan, I'm here.
Jing Wan.
I'm your Jian Zhang.
Don't be afraid.
I will always stay by your side.
I entrust three divisions of Xu Zhiping to Zhang Qiyun.
Based on his actions, he can be trusted.
But he was an old subordinate of Xu Zhiping, Fourth Master.
Is it proper to transfer Xu's troops to him?
One cannot suspect everyone.
He offered to take over those divisions recently during the difficult times.
He cannot overthrow them now.
Such indulgences will cause future troubles.
Zhang Qiyun is only a peasant. Important missions do not suit him.
In my opinion,
you should give the Xu Division either to Commander Yu or to my father;
however, only Commander Chang can assure external peace with them.
Based on what you said,
should we believe those linked to General Xu and General Chang?
Shall we also suspect our Army?
Fourth Master, I am only voicing my opinion on the subject.
If we entrust such a huge task to Zhang Qiyun,
it will be like lighting a bomb which could explode at any time.
Jin Zhi. I have always wanted to say,
that despite your piercing perception,
your opinions are sometimes too extreme.
If I were to lead the army accordingly to the way you think,
even your father would shake under my command.
Fourth Master is already powerful enough that he doesn't need to listen to other opinions.
I am afraid that other Generals
are already shaking in fear. - You!
Jin Zhi, shut up.
Jin Zhi. Fourth Master has solid reasons for making this arrangement.
The mutiny needs to be repressed.
In order to stabilise the situation, he cannot afford any big distractions.
Enough. Just do according to my plan.
Fourth Master. My daughter offended you jnow.
My apologies.
Forget it. Go back first.
Daughter, stop there.
Stop there!
I know you want to lecture me but I'm not wrong.
Daughter. You also said that
Fourth Master is not the same anymore.
At the meeting, you shouldn't have confronted him
and not given him any face (respect).
I wanted to let him know that
without the help of our family, he wouldn't be where he is today.
As the one in power, he shouldn't disregard our family.
You keep saying this
but no matter how I see it, today
you shouldn't have discussed it with Fourth Master.
And you even argued with him.
I argued with him? What is there to argue with him about?
Daughter. I know
in your heart, you can't accept that.
That is a different matter.
There were Officers present today.
Don't you even realize they were secretly laughing at you?
Father, you are under estimating me this time.
I'm not the kind of woman who gets jealous over minor things.
Regarding such big issues,
I can separate personal from official matters.
Jin Zhi, you want to tell me that you going against him today
was devoid of any resentment?
I admit I felt resentment;
however, you must believe me.
Regardless of whether Yin Jing Wan exists or not,
I don't care about what her relationship is with Pei Lin.
Regardless, Xu Zhiping's troops should never have be given to Zhang Qiyun.
This attitude has nothing to do with my emotions.
I understand that,
but you are too bias in regards to Zhang Qiyun.
Are you not overreacting?
You just wait and see.
If Fourth Master keeps doing what he wants and doesn't follow my advise,
there will come a day when he will be filled with regret.
Miss.
I am really tired.
I went through a lot of trouble to bring you this medicine.
I brought the medicine that you wanted.
Take a look to check if it's correct.
Yes, this is the one.
You are great. You even found this medicine.
Daughter.
What game are you playing now?
This is the best medicine in the world to treat gunshot wounds.
What are you going to do? It can't be...
You guessed correctly.
I'm going to visit that injured woman.
You are going to see Yin Jing Wan?
Miss, what's going on?
Miss. I'm dead tired and you are going to visit
that woman who you hate?
That's right. I'm going to thank her
for cluelessly blocking the bullet and saving my man.
Hello, Miss Jin Zhi. Are you looking for Fourth Master?
I'm not looking for him. I'm here to visit Miss Yin.
Miss Cheng. Right now it's not possible.
Fourth Master has instructed that since Miss Yin's wound is serious,
not to let in any outsiders.
Who am I? Am I an outsider?
- Move aside. - Miss Jin Zhi, Fourth Master!
Miss Jin Zhi.
Miss Yin. I'm here to thank you
for taking the gunshot for Pei Lin and saving his life.
If you must know, Pei Lin's life is like own life.
Thus, I also consider you as my savior.
I brought you the best medicine for treating gunshot wounds.
It will help you to recover soon.
Go and change the medicine to the one I brought her.
Miss Jin Zhi, without the doctor's consent,
we can't change the medicine.
I followed my father to the battlefield quite often.
I have the most experience in this kind of wound.
Doctor Cheng is my brother. What are you afraid of?
Why aren't you going now?
What's wrong?
You dare to disregard what I just said?
Miss Jin Zhi. Please forgive us.
She dares not defy Fourth Master's orders.
I will explain to Fourth Master.
Then, if Miss Yin gets worse, who's going to bear the responsibility?
Bitch. Do you think I will harm her?
- Why would I harm her? - You said this, I didn't.
What did you say? Repeat it.
Miss Jin Zhi. Please don't be angry.
Get lost now! Disappear from my sight!
Miss, I'm Doctor Cheng's assistant and not your servant.
- You! - You don't have the right to tell me to get lost.
Please stop fighting. You will wake up Miss Yin.
Move aside!
What are you doing?!
Fourth Master. She...
Pei Lin. I'm here...
You are clearly here to create chaos. Come with me!
You are hurting me.
What are you doing now?
I should be asking you what you are doing here.
I'm here to visit Yin Jing Wan. Can't I do that?
Is this how you visit a patient?
You are only here to create chaos.
Pei Lin. You have misunderstood.
I brought German medicine to treat her gunshot wound.
Also I came to visit and
thank her for saving your life.
Jing Wan saved my life. I will thank her myself.
I don't need you to worry about this.
Pei Lin.
It wasn't easy for me to obtain this medicine.
Is this your attitude towards me?
I thank you for your good intentions on behalf of Jing Wan.
Pei Lin. Why do I feel that
your attitude towards me is getting colder?
Ever since Jing Wan got injured,
you don't even want to talk to me.
You were also very mean to me just now.
You have never lost your temper with me in the past.
Because of that woman, you snapped at me.
You only think about her injury. Did you ever think that
when you show concern and focus on her,
I would be hurt and sad.
I am not only concerned about her.
I'm worried about the people of Chengzhou.
Including you.
So, in your heart,
I am just like everyone. Isn't this so?
Pei Lin. Just because Jing Wan blocked the bullet for you and I didn't,
your attitude has changed that much?
Jin Zhi. Thank you.
Pei Lin. Believe me.
If I could turn back time,
I would be willing to stop the bullet for you.
I would do anything to protect you.
Jing Wan is not the only person who can do that.
What's the use of talking about this now?
I didn't blame you nor ask you to do anything for me.
You are not obligated to do this.
Of course, it's my obligation.
I would do anything for the person I like.
For you, not only would I take a bullet,
but also give up my life
Jin Zhi. I think you have misunderstood.
I don't need you to like me this way.
I have always regarded you as my sister.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @Viki
Sister?
We grew up together like siblings.
You and Xin Zhi are my family and friends.
You are my smart sister.
I always value your ideas and opinions.
There is nothing more than that.
Why are you telling me this now?
I always thought we had a unspoken agreement.
That the both of us
belong together.
Of all the women out there, I'm one who understands you best.
I'm the only one who can help you.
I thought
you would treasure my presence as much as I treasure your's.
Even if we didn't discuss it,
you would figure it out sooner.
I didn't know you had such a deep misunderstanding of me.
I have never done anything indescent to you.
I have never told you that I liked you.
No. You have always liked me.
It's just that you haven't realized it.
Look at all those women near you.
They parade around all fake.
As for you and me,
we are fighting together, side by side.
That is not love.
I have never treated those women seriously.
You and I are allies in battle.
We are best friends for life.
This has nothing to do with love.
What about Jing Wan?
You do not take her seriously, right?
What I feel for Jing Wan is real.
No. You are lying to me.
You will never fall in love with anyone else.
I don't believe you.
I never believed
there would be true love for me in this world.
I thought it was only a myth.
But now, I believe in it.
Jing Wan allowed me to experience this feeling.
At the moment I saw how badly she was bleeding,
I kept thinking,
if she doesn't survive,
I will never go on living.
Stop talking.
Can we only have one true love in our life? I do not care about it at all
Sitting in the vast space occupied by you, I remember your silhouette.
Who said that we can only have one true love in our life?
Jin Zhi!
Calm down.
How do you expect me to calm down?
The man I love told me he loves someone else. How do you expect me to calm down?
Jin Zhi. Love can't be forced.
The sooner you know what's in his heart,
the earlier your heart breaks.
You will come to your senses soon and start again.
Brother. Since I was young, my dream
was to be with Pei Lin forever.
To be his lover and ally in battle.
I want to be at his side and follow him until I die.
Those around us thought we were soul mates.
I planned to be his wife and nothing else.
But why?
Why, since that woman showed up,
has everything changed?
All my dreams have been crushed. Why?
All along, I have always been proud and strong.
But today,
I feel I'm very pitiful.
In front of him, I was like a beggar begging for his love.
He was not willing to give it to me.
I was begging him to love me,
but he doesn't want me.
Enough. Foolish Sis.
You dared to love a man with all your might
and were not afraid to be hurt.This is not a pitiful thing.
That is bravery.
I'm proud of you.
Brother, I always loved him my all my strength.
I'm willing to do anything for Pei Lin
even if it means sacrificing my life.
But why
can't I measure up to that woman?
Why does he love her and not me?
Jin Zhi. It's not wrong to love someone,
but you need to accept the cruelty of love.
The person whom you love
is not like a toy which you insisted on getting when you were young.
He is a living thing.
He is someone with a soul.
He will have his own views.
He will have his own choices.
You cannot be fickle like a child.
You cannot hang onto him regardless of his feelings.
The more you do it,
the distance between you and him will only get further apart.
Love, in this world,
can't be forced.
It's only fated.
Sis, you need to remain calm.
I understand. I understand everything now.
But I cannot stay calm. Really.
I really can't.
I will never be calm.
Be careful. There are many antique vases in this chest.
Here.
These are for Miss Yin. Try not to break them.
Do it gently. Leave it here.
That's right.
Madam Yu offered two roots of 100- year-old ginseng.
Young Master.
These are all gifts for Miss Yin
from her visitors.
The doctor said that
she needs peace and quiet. Hence, I stopped them.
I didn't allow any visitors.
But they are bringing so many gifts.
I can only leave them here.
Young Master, maybe
you could accept them in place of Miss Yin?
Leave them here.
I will look through them later.
Leave these here and go.
Jing Wan, wake up soon.
Tell me this is a misunderstanding.
Commander Yu, long time no see.
My brother, you got scared this time.
Thank you very much for your help.
I didn't do much.
It was Miss Yin who suffered in my place.
Friend, you have been in Chengzhou for a few days.
Today, I'm here to wine and dine with you.
No, Commander Yu.
Jing Wan is seriously injured and unconscious.
I'm worried about leaving her alone.
There are many nurses and doctors here. Why are you worried?
In reality Miss Yin has still not regained her consciousness.
You are very worried these days.
Come with me and relax.
Let's go.
It's not troublesome at all. I will send you back later.
I found a nice place to have drinks.
