Day Will Break - by Yoga Lin You Jia
♫ The wind is whistling, dawn hasn’t yet broken, the night is too cold ♫
♫ People part and scatter, dreams are hard to imagine ♫
♫ Yet in every chest, the fire is more ablaze ♫
♫ How much does the mortal world morph ♫
♫ In exchange for the insanity of numerous individuals? ♫
♫ Sooner or later, the chaotic world will catch up ♫
♫ It’ll be too late to feel pain then ♫
♫ Let the darkness be so dark that it engulfs all hope ♫
♫ Only then can we find the light within our blood ♫
♫ We are that lonely, yet also that restless and stubborn ♫
♫ Let the darkness be so dark that it loses all sense of direction ♫
♫ Only then can we feel who is still by our side ♫
♫ Together, we will wait for that one, ♫
♫ Distant yet satisfying daybreak ♫
♫ Let the darkness be so dark that it engulfs all hope ♫

The Legend Of Qin {Episode 12}
♫ I’ve forgotten you, cut off all emotion. Yet love is still here. ♫
♫ The heart has stopped. But once you breathe, you wake up again. ♫
♫ The sea hasn’t dried up, the rock hasn’t disintegrated. How can we part? ♫
♫ In my eyes, the moon in the sky creates a shadow of complete bliss. ♫
♫ Paired together, a couple. ♫
♫ Trample the ice and snow to pieces. ♫
Let me help you.
♫ Paired together, a couple. ♫
♫ Even if fate sways yet again, ♫
Hold this.
♫ What are you afraid of tomorrow for? Heaven and earth are overturned. ♫
♫ If we hold each other’s hand tightly, who can separate us? ♫
Wring it.
This requires two people. You can't do it alone.
♫ If two hearts don’t change, it’s enough to bring peace. ♫
♫ Trample the ice and snow to pieces. Memories will be scattered far and wide. ♫
♫ Paired together, a couple. ♫
♫ Even if fate sways yet again, I’ll have you cuddled next to me. ♫
♫ Paired together, a couple. ♫
♫ Paired together under the moonlight, my head leaned against yours. ♫
♫ Paired together, a couple. ♫
♫ In the deepest forests in the mountains, our footsteps leave a trail of two. ♫
You are so shameless.
You steal other people's love.
You take advantage of people while they are vulnerable.
You're no match for me in any respect.
Are you better looking than I am?
If I hadn't been away,
would Rong Er be with you?
Master Ban, I have to practice with my sword.
- Come here. - Master Ban, I really must practice with my sword.
Master Ban.
Master Ban, I...
Shao Yu.
Ever since I first laid eyes on you,
I could tell that
you are an extraordinarily smart,
and considerate young man.
You are one.
And I even know what you are thinking about.
You think that we are kindred spirits.
Yes. You also think that
we really have an affinity.
That's right.
Since this is the case,
we can discuss the potential of mechanical devices together.
Master Ban, I really don't know anything about machinery.
Nonsense.
I just said that you are smart. Why are you being clueless now?
Little brat. You are now a part of the Mohists.
How can you not know about machinery?
This is the foundation of the livelihood of the Mohists.
Aiyoh.
Do you think you can depend only on fighting skills
to sustain the future prosperity of the Mohists?
- Master Ban! - What's wrong?
Please spare me.
Tell me what you like about me. I will change that, okay?
No need to change. I like everything about you.
They are great.
What the heck?
I just cleaned the courtyard today.
Why is it like this?
Little Zhi! What are you doing?
Come down.
Don't you have any consideration?
Let me tell you. Clean this up on your own.
Rong Er...
What does this have to do with Rong Er?
Come down now!
Rong Er.
Looks like you don't want to come down.
Fine. You are only bringing this upon yourself.
Rong Er.
Rong Er!
Rong Er.
You rascal! Just wait and see!
Stop there!
Look at those alcoves along the Qi River with their flourishing green bamboo trees. (Qi Yu of Odes to Wei from Book of Poetry)
There is a gentleman
that is as if he had been chiseled and polished.
There is a gentleman
who I can't stop thinking about. (Here she departs from the original poem)
You little wench, let's see how I will deal with you.
Stop there!
I was just passing by
to check up on Tian Ming.
Wait.
I will go with you.
Someone was just here to pay respects.
The grave of beloved wife Bi Hua and daughter Ru Er.
- What's wrong? - Don't come near me.
What are you talking about? Are you in a daze from sleep?
Let me check.
Okay, you are fine. Go back to sleep.
Did you have a nightmare? Are you afraid to be alone?
Do you think I'm a girl?
Okay, let's leave then.
I'm just next door. Shout if there is anything you need.
Sorry.
What I mean is that
I have been blaming you by mistake.
You are a person of loyalty and responsibility.
Yet I kept treating you like an enemy.
I even used treatment to torture you, and caused you to be drowsy every day.
I lack nothing but sleep.
It worked out perfectly for me to get some rest.
In addition, it was easier to be asleep.
Whenever I'm awake, endless worries invade my mind.
So at the outset, I should have been a little more cruel.
If you had been more cruel, I would have really died.
In the first place, why did you think of leaving the palace to look for Tian Ming?
For the past thirteen years,
I have been inquiring after Tian Ming's whereabouts.
He is Brother Jing's only flesh and blood. I had to find him.
Fulfilling Brother Jing's wish was not the only reason that I stayed in Xianyang Palace.
- It was also to find out news about Tian Ming. - Huh?
Think about it. Ying Zheng is the only person in this world, other than me, who wants to know Tian Ming's whereabouts.
So as long as I stayed with him, I would be the first to get news about him.
But aren't you afraid that Tian Ming might turn against you if he finds out the truth one day?
If he were to find out and want to take revenge on me,
then let it be, if I'm still alive when that time comes.
You need to live.
Be... because...
I saved your life. You can't die unless I allow you to.
Can your sleeping posture be any uglier?
- What's wrong, Tian Ming? - Yue Er.
Did you have a bad dream?
Yue Er.
I have something that I haven't told anyone.
If I were to tell you, can you not tell anyone?
You can't even tell Uncle or Sister Rong.
I understand. Speak then.
Lately, I keep having the same dream.
I dreamt of my father assassinating the Qin King.
Your father?
My father is Jing Ke.
I dreamt that my father failed in his assassination.
He died...
He died by Uncle's sword.
Uncle's sword pierced through my dad's chest.
The blood was dripping down the sword, one drop after another.
It spilled all over the ground.
That was just a dream. It's not real.
But it was very real. So real it was scary.
When I woke up and saw Uncle in front of me,
I was scared.
Honestly speaking,
I am now
at a loss on how to face Uncle.
Don't let your imagination run wild. A dream disappears when you wake up. It's not real.
I know.
That's why I didn't tell anyone. I was afraid they would laugh at me.
But
I'm really...
Frankly,
I can understand how you feel.
Because lately,
I've been having the same confusion and fear.
Come with me. I will take you to a place.
Yue Er. Why aren't we there yet?
- Are you scared? - What would I be afraid of?
I always act with integrity and honesty. I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night.
We are here.
Yue Er, why did you bring me to the cemetery for no reason?
- You just said that you were not scared. - I...
Why are you hiding so far away?
Look at the writing on the gravestone.
It knows me but I don't know what it is.
This is the language of the State of Yan.
What's written is
"The grave of beloved wife Bi Hua and daughter Ru Er."
Who are they?
I don't know,
but I keep feeling like they are somehow linked to my past.
Linked?
It feels familiar and nostalgic.
Also sad.
I don't know why either. I just can't express myself.
So I haven't told anyone about this.
But you told me.
That's right.
Why did I tell you?
By the way, you said that your father was Jing Ke?
Yes, I already said that I have the blood of a hero.
Frankly, my fate
or the fate of my family, is greatly intertwined with your father's.
What do you mean? I don't understand.
My father's name is Ju Xuan. He was the best friend of Prince Dan of the State of Yan.
Qin's assassination was planned by him and Prince Dan.
My grandfather, Ju Wu, was the adviser of the State of Yan.
I spent a happy childhood at his mansion.
I will never forget counting the stars with my mother.
There were millions of stars, like my mother's eyes,
twinkling so brightly. Both enchanting and stirring.
I can't forget the first time I saw the night lights of Yan from my father's shoulders.
One after another, they lit up the entire sky.
I would imagine that each light represented a happy family,
just like my own. But not long after, that warm and tender childhood
collapsed overnight.
The assassination attempt enraged the Qin King. He decided to attack the State of Yan.
In order to protect his country, the Yan King sacrificed his own son.
He wanted to use his son's head to appease the Qin King.
My dad was also dragged into it.
How could he be so cruel as to kill his own son?
I don't understand either.
But sometimes, fate is like that.
Quietly and unexpectedly, it can make the worst arrangement.
Wake up now.
Quickly.
Let's go.
That day,
I sat on my father's horse to begin our escape with Prince Dan and twenty of his soldiers.
Prince Dan and my father both continued to escape and resist the army that was chasing after them,
but there were too many of them. We could not fight them back and suffered great casualties.
Then in the reed marshes...
Stay here with our daughter. No matter what happens or what you hear, you must not come out.
If I can't return, take our daughter and run immediately.
Understand?
Don't.
You must return.
That was my last memory of my father.
I will never...
I can never forget the blood-colored dusk
and the view of his back as he determinedly left with six soldiers to protect Prince Dan .
Just like you, I would always have the same dream too.
It was very real and scary too.
At the bank of Yanshui River, the reflection of the light was blinding,
shining on the clustered reeds,
and the blood stains on the ground.
Enough. Don't let your imagination run wild.
Once you wake from the dream, everything is fine.
Frankly, I feel that you are more fortunate than I.
At least, you still have your memories.
As for me,
other than these two words, Jing Ke,
I don't have any other memories.
See? We shouldn't have talked about such serious stuff. Even I feel sad after hearing it.
But Yue Er,
thank you.
Why are you thanking me?
Thank you for sharing your problems with me.
This means that you don't see me as a stranger anymore.
Aren't you too full of yourself?
You also only told me about your nightmare.
Yue Er.
What if...
what if Uncle really killed my father?
Don't think of nonsense.
If Uncle was really that kind of man, why would he treat you so well?
Perhaps, he's feeling guilty and wants to make it up to me.
Whether someone is sincere in treating you well or not, you can definitely feel it.
If he treats you sincerely, he definitely can't be your enemy.
Treats me sincerely?
Yue Er, it's you who treats me like that.
Jerk, aren't you full of energy?
Yesterday you were lying in bed like a cripple, today you're dragging Yue Er everywhere with you.
Let me tell you. If Sister Rong finds out, she won't be happy and will make you lie in bed for another few days.
Aren't you also out in the middle of the night running around?
Be careful you are not caught by Master Ban to discuss machinery.
- Come back! - You didn't see me. - Let's go too.
Come back!
Come...
Another night...wasted.
I must succeed in developing mechanical birds.
I want to use my mechanical birds to replace all the messenger birds for the Mohists.
Don't tell me you are not curious?
In the deep of the night,
Yue Er and I left the courtyard alone.
Don't you want to know where we went and what we did?
What did you both do?
I'm not telling you.
You!
I will find out about it myself even if you don't tell me. I'll put myself up to it!
Whether someone is sincere in treating you well or not, you can definitely feel it.
If he treats you sincerely, he definitely can't be your enemy.
Uncle.
Uncle, when will you teach me swordplay?
Have you recovered from your injury?
Of course! I can stoop and stand, naturally and spontaneously--
Enough, enough. You are not fully recovered yet. Do only as much as you can.
It's fine. Some exercises will help me heal faster.
Uncle, when are you going to teach me swordplay?
You consent?
If you don't say anything, I will take it as you have agreed.
Uncle, you are really a good man.
Good man?
Do you know that my hands
and this sword
have been stained with so many people's blood?
Uncle, those whom you killed must have been bad people.
It's great that both of you are here. Are you interested in studying machinery?
Little stinky bastard. How dare he play this underhanded trick on me? Watch how I'll deal with you.
- Shao Yu? - Shao Yu?
Tian Ming. If the tiger doesn't roar--
Tian Ming! Stop running!
You rotten rascal! I won't let you off. Stop there!
Little brat. Are you going to take Master Ban as your teacher instead?
When I finish sharpening this bamboo sword, I will be the true disciple of the Sword Saint.
Based on that, what you said in the past about being the successor of the Sword Saint was just a lie.
- Do you know how to sharpen it? - Why wouldn't I know how to do it?
Sharpen it a little better.
Look, the way you're doing it, you'll be sharpening it till next year. What's the use in just peeling the bark off?
- Isn't this going well? - How long will this take?
- What business is that of yours? If I think it's good, it's good. - Good, my ass.
What are you doing?
- I'm making a sword. - Making a sword?
You are using this?
- Yes. - This?
Aren't you just messing around?
Looks like I will make you open your eyes today.
Ban... Master Ban,
what is this for?
Next,
it is time to open your eyes to witness the coming of a miracle.
Rascal, take the sword.
Master Ban, what is going on?
It's something.
Master Ban, how did you do this?
This is nothing. I can produce one for each of you.
And it'll be done in a jiffy.
Okay.
Come.
Where are the applause and cheers?
Master Ban, produce another one.
Did it get stuck?
This... why do I feel that something is not right?
Run now!
Stop running! I will succeed!
I succeeded.
Leader.
I should be accompanying you on this trip to Xianyang to meet with Prince Fu Su.
However, I have some old business that needs to be taken care of.
Thus...
It's fine.
You have already sacrificed a lot for the Mohists. Leave this matter to me.
Thank you, Leader. I bid you farewell here and shall wait for your good news.
Rong Er. My Rong Er. I don't want to leave.
I'm not leaving.
Mr. Ge, if you have any ill intention towards my Rong Er,
I won't let you off!
I appreciate your passing on my greetings when you meet with Fu Su.
Take care.
This is your gift to me. It's also the gift from heaven.
It reminds me at all times
how absurd and lamentable that Wei Zhuang was back then. The Wei Zhuang now
will not be taken advantage of again.
It's time for a resolution.
Uncle, look.
So, when are you going to accept me as your disciple?
I only promised to teach you swordplay.
I didn't say that I would accept you as my disciple.
Why? Didn't we already agree this morning?
Just practice sword fighting. Being my disciple has no meaning.
Go back. I want to take a rest.
Successor, my butt. You don't even want to accept me as your disciple.
Yue Er.
The temples are responsible for headaches, eye fatigue, and toothaches.
Yue Er.
The most important quality in practicing medicine is concentration.
Yue Er.
Can't you see that I'm having lessons with Yue Er? No one taught you any rules?
I don't have a teacher. There is no one to teach me any rules.
What do you mean?
You can accept Yue Er as your disciple. Why can't Uncle accept me as his disciple too?
Could it be that Uncle is concerned that you will be better than him one day?
It is too embarrassing for the master to lose to his disciple.
Yue Er, so insightful. That's hitting the nail on the head.
I won't interrupt your lessons then.
Please continue.
Sister Rong, let's continue.
Let's stop here for today.
Ge Nie.
Are you still struggling with what happened? Are you worried that he will know the truth one day so you won't take him as disciple?
Unless, what you are thinking is that
without a master-disciple relationship to hold him back, he can take revenge on you without concern.
Do you hate my brother for making you take this path?
What is there to hate?
Just because of a promise, these past years...
Because of his loyalty, your brother sacrificed himself for the world.
It is not a big deal for me to keep a promise to him.
If...
If I had been the one to assassinate Qin that year,
would... you have insisted on keeping the promise too?
If it were you, I would definitely not let you die.
I...
What I meant was...
I don't mean this.
If it were you, I would definitely not let you die.
I leave the rest of my happiness to you.
He likes me.
He doesn't like me.
He likes me.
He doesn't like me.
He likes me.
He doesn't like me.
He likes me.
He doesn't like me.
He likes me. He doesn't like me. He likes me.
He doesn't like me.
This doesn't count. Let me do it again.
What I meant was...
I don't mean this.
I have to decide when it's time to do so.
If I don't...
