The Starry Night, The Starry Sea, Season 2
Episode 15
Why? Why did you only tell me the truth now?
You were still young then. How could I tell you?
Ah Li. Ever since you were young,
you've never felt any parental love.
I want to snatch back what the heavens owe you.
All I did was to protect you well.
I don't want you to be like me,
living in the midst of revenge since childhood.
I originally wanted to shoulder this vengeance alone and keep it from you for my entire life.
Even if you fell in love with a merman, I couldn't tell you the truth.
I was afraid you'd cry, be brokenhearted, and carry the burden of vengeance because of this.
I once tried hard to make you let go of Wu Julan.
But you just wouldn't let go. Now that it has come to this,
I have no other way. I cannot hide it from you any longer.
Father, Mother. I promised you
that I'd watch over Ah Li properly.
But I am useless. I still made her suffer.
I am sorry to you, and to Ah Li as well.
During these years, I suffered a lot alone.
Every year on the day when our parents died, I secretly
went to the ocean side to burn paper money for our parents. Only then,
did I dare to sob.
Only then did I dare to express the pain and suffering in my heart.
Ah Li.
Now that you know the truth, on the path to revenge,
you must hold on tightly to my hand and continue walking with me.
Father, Mother, family members! Don't worry.
Ah Li will definitely make the right choice.
She will make your souls be at peace.
-Zixuan!-Why are you looking for me?
Here are the nourishing medicines for your Lady. They are all high grade medicines.
These are all a representation of my master's affection.
What are you doing? Don't you know how expensive this medicine is?
Nourishing medicine? I think that they are clearly poisons!
What do you mean by that?
To obtain our Miss's heart,
he took soldiers and captured Wu Julan while they were having marriage talks!
-He's completely despicable!-You-!
What? My words were already nice to him!
Our Young Master must have had his reasons for doing this!
Reasons? His reason was to kill Wu Julan
and then take the chance to steal our Miss away! He's a complete bastard!
In any case, our Young Master isn't like that! You cannot criticize him!
I'm criticizing him? When I see him, I'm even going to punch him!
Why do you always hit me?
Your Majesty!
Jin Lin.
How do you feel?
I'm okay. Save Julan. Save Julan.
Your Majesty. Recover at ease.
Leave the prince to me.
No matter what the price,
save Julan. Julan, save Julan.
I will abide. If I am unable to rescue Prince,
I swear that I will not return.
Gather soldiers immediately and head for Chang Le!
Yes!
General! General, I have something to tell you!
You must calm down! You cannot act rashly!
A warrior can be killed but not insulted.
The humans have already bullied us to this state!
Are we supposed to continue swallowing this and do nothing about it?
But the merfolk just suffered huge casualties!
We must not act rashly right now!
Are we supposed to watch the humans kill the prince?
Even if we are going to rescue Prince, we must plan it first. How can you just rely on brute courage?
Stop talking! I've already made up my mind!
General, you-!
Don't think I don't know why you're trying so hard to stop me.
It's because of your personal affections that you are protecting the humans!
Yin Hu! The humans have committed a grave crime against us.
Are you still going to trick yourself and others?
It was because Prince Julan was led astray by human love,
that is why he ended up in prison and committed such grave mistake.
And your Ma Dachun!
Ma Dachun isn't like that! He has nothing to do with this anyway!
Miss. Are you really going to split up with Wu Julan?
This is our tribe's hereditary treasure.
My Queen Mother died early.
This hairpin was put in my hands a long time ago.
Today, I will give it to you as a token of my affection.
Ah Li. I want to marry you.
In this lifetime, I will only have you.
Did you send the medicine to Lu manor?
Did you tell Zixuan how to prepare it?
What's wrong with your face?
She wouldn't accept your affection!
She even said your medicine was poison,
and threw it all onto the ground! It's enough that it got dirty!
Zixuan didn't even spare me!
Young Master, capturing Wu Julan this time,
could it really be as Zixuan said?
You knew ahead of time and used the marriage discussion as a chance to capture Wu Julan?
Young Master, you...
You must not blame me for being talkative!
This time, you did capture Wu Julan,
but even I feel like it wasn't very glorious.
Don't you always teach me?
You taught me pretty well.
Why did you...?
Let's go.
Go? Go where?
Lu Manor.
We're still going, Young Master?
I'm sorry, Ah Li.
You don't need to apologize to me.
I know that in this matter, I really was...
But that was because I didn't want others to snatch you away.
No. From your position, you were not wrong.
Ah Li.
I know you feel terrible.
Don't hide everything in your heart.
I am willing to become that person that listens to everything that you think. Okay?
I remember when we were little, I would tell everything to you first.
Who stole my silk ball.
Who got my new outfit dirty.
You were always willing to listen to everything I said.
And then laughed and cried with me.
In all these years, I've never changed!
You've changed.
The you now is no longer my close friend who can laugh and cry with me.
The head of the evil merfolk Wu Julan must not be forgiven.
To show the citizens what the grand law is and to follow the principles of nature in this present times,
this criminal is being sentence to beheading. The execution will happen three days from now at noontime by the city gates to comfort the fear of the citizens.
Never thought that this government will finally do some actual matter.
The Qin young master is a hard worker!
What do you know?
The Head of the Maritime Trade Bureau Lord Lu planned this all out.
Or else, just depending on those two useless Qin men?
How could they accomplish such a thing?
So it was the Lu family.
General, the Chang Le magistrate's office has already posted a notification.
They publicly announced that they will publicly execute him at noontime three days from now.
It looks like they cannot wait even one moment longer.
-Tell everyone that we will move tonight to save the prince!-Yes!
General! General, please wait!
I'll try to persuade you again! They already guessed that we would try to save him! You'll be sending yourself to die if you go!
Even if I die, I must save the prince!
General! You cannot be rash!
Move aside!
General, please think again!
You've been muddled by the humans since long ago.
You have no right to interfere with merfolk matters!
Lead some soldiers to set up an ambush in Chang Le Prison.
If nothing goes wrong, the merfolk will come to save Wu Julan tonight.
Since they are going to come by their own, why then will we not welcome them well?
[Change Le Prison]
Miss! Miss! Miss, this is bad!
What is it?
The magistrate's office posted a notice that tomorrow at noon, they are going to behead Wu Julan!
Miss! What should we do?
Are we...supposed to watch Wu Julan be executed?
We cannot just watch Wu Julan get executed!
That's right!
We must find a way to save Wu Julan!
Mm! But how?
There's only two of us. If we try to fight our way through...
We'll get squished!
We can then only win by outsmarting them. This is my expertise. Let us do it like we did last time.
I will be the one to confuse the guards with my words while you take Wu Julan when no one is watching
to follow the mountain paths and crazily run away.
But the locks in there are specially made. How can I easily open the door and save Wu Julan?
Besides! This road is full of soldier checkpoints.
Are you sure that based on our power, we can pass through multiple checkpoints and send him to the ocean?
And you are even a scholar! Can this stupid method of yours even be suitable to be called an outsmarting method?
Then I shall think again...
[Chang Le Prison]
-Watch closely!-Yes!
The few of you stay here. The rest, come with me.
My Lord.

Jin Lin?
Prince! I've come to save you!
Run! Don't bother about me! Hurry and tell them to retreat!
Jin Lin! Don't fight to the death! Hurry and have them retreat!
No, Prince! I must save you!
Shoot!
Jin Lin! I'm ordering you! Run!
After him!
Dachun! Dachun!
Dachun, Geng Ji, I have a huge emergency I need you to help with!
Jin Lin has taken people to abduct the Prince from prison!
He moved faster than us?!
Lu Xiao and Qin Hao must have set a trap in the prison! Jin Lin is going to die!
So...I want you two to help think of a way to save Jin Lin.
Retreat!
After them!
Yes!
Come here!
Hurry, over there! Hurry!
After him!
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Brother Fang Zi, what are you doing?
Ma Dachun?!
It's so late, what are you doing in the middle of nowhere?
-Have your little wolves let me go first!-Let him go.
It's just...I...I'm writing a new story lately.
It is about a 'A Flower Thief' (a girl raping criminal).
So, I dressed up to see what it was like!
Let me ask you. Did you see a suspicious person just now?
-Yes! Dressed in black, similar to me, right?-Yes.
He ran towards the ocean! The ocean!
Damn! Come, let's go!
That scared me to death!
Yin Hu. You pleaded with me repeatedly,
but I didn't listen. I'm sorry.
It's good as long as you are okay.
If Da Chun wasn't smart today, we'd all be finished today!
I am not like someone who is so muscular but in the end still needed my help to rescue him.
Thank you for today.
What did you say?
Say it louder, I couldn't hear you!
Ma Dachun! Don't get arrogant!
Jin Lin was saved, but Wu Julan is still in prison!
Will Wu Julan really not live beyond three days?
No matter what, we must save the prince!
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Sparkling Stars Team @ Viki
The sun will rise soon.
Wu Julan only has two days left.
Last night, the merfolk came to save the prince. Thankfully, we were prepared.
But the merfolk's Head General Jin Lin still escaped.
We must heightened our vigilance and continue guarding against the merpeople.
Nothing can go wrong before the execution.
Qin Hao!
Ah Li?
I have something to say to you.
Please let Wu Julan go.
Ah Li. I understand how you feel.
But the merfolk is the public's enemy, and he is their prince.
This is no small matter.
I cannot agree to your request.
This isn't a request. It's a trade.
If you agree to let Wu Julan go, in return,
I am willing to marry you.
Young Master, Miss Lu is still waiting outside.
You won't go take a look?
Miss, it's snowing so hard. We should go back first.
Young Master, what happened with you and Miss Lu?
You loved Miss Lu the most in the past.
It is currently cold outside and is even snowing. What if she get sick from getting frozen?
Why are you alone? Where is your Young Master?
Are you threatening me?
Do you believe
that I'll go and kill Wu Julan right now?
You're not like that.
You used marriage to trade with me. In your heart,
what kind of person am I?
I'm sorry. But there is nothing else I can do.
Go back.
If you torture yourself for Wu Julan again,
I guarantee, he will suffer even more torture in prison.

Now, the enemy was already alerted. Breaking into prison to save him is now impossible.
Then we can save him from the execution site!
The execution site will be heavily guarded.
Also, Chang Le's citizens will be watching. We won't succeed.
That won't do, and this won't do either!
I think you are all just cowards!
Can you be reasonable? If not because you alarmed them, do we need to be this careful now?
-What?-Cut it out! This is no time for internal disputes!
I got it! Sit down!
Hurry and sit down!
Since the prison is guarded,
and the execution site will have too many people there,
then why don't we attack in the middle?
You mean...on the path from the prison to the execution site?
That is right. Based on usual practice before the execution, it is always the guards of the adjutant that will go to the prison
to get the prisoner and then escort him to the execution area.
I got it! Then that means, we will dress as soldiers,
and then before the real soldiers of the adjutant come to the prison, we will already fetch Prince out.
This way, we do not need to get into any bloody fight and decrease the danger to nothing.
-Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!-Wait!
But for us to be able to get the prisoner, we need the official seal of the adjutant. We...
After all this talk, it still won't work!
Then...
Actually...I can go steal a pass!
No! That's too dangerous!
It's not! Look, I'm the most suitable out of all of us. You and Jin Lin
would be sending the sheep to the slaughter. And Li Geng Ji is always with Wu Julan.
The magistrate's office has been watching him since long ago! If he goes, he'll be captured immediately!
But, I still feel uneasy!
I think it will work.
If you don't let him risk danger once, are you going to let the prince be beheaded?
Yin Hu, don't worry!
My Lord, what should we do?
I thought the prince of the merfolk would be special.
You're not that special.
Why did you have to provoke the relationship between humans and merfolk?
Provoke?
Merfolk are naturally cruel beasts.
I just played a few tricks for everyone to see how you really were!
To obtain your goal,
you wouldn't even hesitate to sacrifice your own people.
When talking about cruelty,
merfolk are not as bad as you!
A general achieves success while ten thousand of bones rot.
As long as I can eliminate the merfolk, so what if a few people die?
My plan worked so smoothly.
To be honest, I should thank my Ah Li.
If she didn't come up with the idea to seduce you,
do you think, I could have captured you so easily?
Don't waste your efforts
to strain my relationship with Ah Li.
I'm telling you. I completely trust that Ah Li will not betray me.
Totally stupid.
Continue beating him.
Without my order, you cannot stop!
Since you came, why don't you come in?
No need. I am not interested to maltreat a being that is about to die.
Do not worry. I am not that selfish to seize all the good things.
Everything has been arranged.
Young Master! It's getting late!
Why don't you rest early?
♫ Previously heard the sadness of the vast seas ♫
♫ Previously saw the fireworks in the desert ♫
This Lady Lu is really so absurd!
She made my Young Master so brokenhearted!

Miss. Why aren't you sleeping yet?
Look, it's snowing so hard outside.
Don't catch a cold.
Zixuan, is there any news from Qin manor?
Miss, just what are you waiting for?
Nothing.
♫ Looking at the moth fly into the fire ♫
♫ Loving in such scorching hot manner ♫♫ Living in the face of death ♫

Get inside!
Ah Li...♫ Birds would fly by and fishes would swim by the coldest lake ♫
♫ The flowing water is heartless, the flowing years is speckled, leaving a legend behind ♫
♫ Your suddenness, my waning, the lanterns on a long road ♫
Zixuan! There's still no news from Mr. Qin?
♫ You are in the vast seas while I was in the galaxy when we met our karma ♫
Miss. No matter what you begged Mr. Qin for,
it looks like he won't agree.
What are you doing?
I am here to deliver the Qin manor some seafood.
If you want to deliver seafood, deliver it there. You are not allowed to enter here.
Where are you going?
I am here to deliver seafood to the Qin manor.
The kitchen is over there. Don't go the wrong way.
Thank you Miss!
-Is Young Master's room clean?-Yes.
Young Master! Young Master, are you here?
Wait!
Young Master.
There's no need to clean today. You can leave.
-Yes.-Yes.
Dachun! Dachun!
How is it? Did you get it?
Unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything. Really shouldn't have assigned to you such an important matter.
I have both outstanding intelligence and courage.
I amaze the world with just a single brilliant feat.
When have I ever messed up what I had to do?
Look! The adjutant seal, no cheat at all!
Dachun, I knew that you're the best!
It's right! This is really what we want!
Da Chun, you're amazing! You really are the man I love!
Can you not hit so hard? It's not feminine at all!
Alright! Don't get happy too early.
Whether or not we can save the prince depends on tomorrow.
Qin Hao.
Just now, Ma Dachun came to my manor
and stole the seal to be able to release or escort prisoners out of the prison.
- Then you--- As a distinguished adjutant of Chang Le,
I actually let him steal the pass.
Qin Hao, thank you.
Did you guess long ago that I'd definitely help you?
I'm sorry. I didn't want to do this to you.
You don't need to apologize. You love Wu Julan.
Naturally, you will save his life no matter what.
You don't have me in your heart, so naturally you will not think about my feelings.
-It's not like that.-Ah Li, let me finish.
There are some words, if I don't say that today,
I'm afraid I will never have the guts to say it again.
I knew I was being used, yet I willingly did it.
I knew what the consequences were, but I did it without any protest.
Who told me to be unable to bear seeing you sad?
So, Ah Li, you don't need to apologize to me.
I made my choice today by following my heart.
But I also want to tell you.
Just for your love towards him, you can proceed without hesitation.
My love for you also do not lag behind.
I can finally say these words today.
But Ah Li, from now on,
I'm afraid I can no longer persuade myself to let go of your hand.
