The Starry Night, The Starry Sea
"Deep Sea Visitor" - Episode 1 -
Under the moonlight,
the god of death lifted his sword
in preparation to take the man's life.
The man asked, "How can I avoid death?"
The god of death said, "Find a girl. As long as she is willing to give up her life
and gives you her spirit,
then you can live on."
The man asked, "How can I make a young woman
give up her life
and give me her spirit?"
The god of death said, "As long as you obtain her heart,
make her fall in love with you."
The man asked, "How can I obtain her heart?"
The god of death said, with a little smile,
"It's very simple. Give your heart in exchange for hers."
Do... you need help?
Thief! Help!
No! Look out!
Are you a superhero?
- Did you see?- Come here, my dear.
- My god, it's not my fault!- Are you okay, my dear?- I'm okay, Mama.
Hello? Is this the police station? On the intersection at Prince Street
an Asian man stopped a car with one hand!
Look! What is that?
Hurry and look!
Please come with me.
It's an anesthetic.
There were no successes in these three months,
but the accumulation during these three months is all for being well-prepared for success!
Little universe, break out!
Hi! Me?
Mr. Hu, hello. I am from True Love Matchmaking Consultancy.
My name is Shen Luo.
Miss Shen, you're so pretty!
Ms. Shen, is your "Luo" the same as the one from "Luo Li" (meaning Lolita)?
No. It's "Luo" from "Hai Luo" (meaning sea snail).
Um... Mr. Hu, what special requests do you have for your future other half?
Miss Shen, I'm very simple.
I'm not like those with ridiculous requirements.
I just want this girl,
to be pretty with a nice figure, a good education, and to make a lot of money.
For a girl, of course, she has to be a bit gentler, a bit hardworking, and a little bit filial.
That's right! The most important thing!
A bit younger, too!
Um... Mr. Hu, I think your requirements are a bit high.
How about you try and lower them a bit?
Are you joking? I haven't even raised any conditional requests yet. How do I lower my expectations?
Besides! Women can only be used for that, right?
If she doesn't have any good looks, figure, or money,
what use is it to live on?
Uncle!
You do have really high expectations! Also, what was it you have to offer?
A bit taller, a bit more handsome, or do you have a few more credit cards?
Are you elegant, kind, or caring?
If you have nothing, then why can't you lower your standards a bit?
This...! This..!
How can you say that about me?
Uncle!
No! Um, Mr. Handsome. Sorry, that's not what I meant.
Don't get angry. I'll do my best to serve you.
Do your best to serve me?
How are you going to serve me?
For an animal like you who thinks with your lower body!
It's the luck of all the women in the world for you to be single forever!
For me to introduce a match to you is like committing a crime!
You shouldn't have come to a matchmaking company! You should go to an animal reproduction center!
I'm going to report you!
Listen up!
My name is Shen Luo!
Go ahead and report me! I don't want to continue working anyway!
You--! Come back!
When I was five, my parents divorced after an awful argument.
From that moment on, I didn't believe in love.
After I grew up and, therefore, knew more about the matters of men and women, I was more certain about one thing.
"Love" is what men get into for reproduction of future generations.
Women collaborate in this fabrication for their long-term meal ticket.
It's the biggest lie in this world.
What matchmaking center? It's actually a liar's concentration camp!
I definitely cannot work for this type of customer anymore!
This place was not meant for me, but there's sure to be a place that is meant for me!
I don't believe that there's no place for me to stay in this big of a city!
Shen Luo, do you think that the two months of rent that you owe me,
will just go away if you avoid me?
I've broken the lock. Just take it that I've thrown your "house" (your belongings) out the front door!
Hurry and take your stuff and get lost!
You are Angela's descendant?
I'm Angela's granddaughter. My name is Violet.
Forgive me for my lack of manners, Lucas.
My family has been waiting for this.
We have waited a hundred and fifty years to meet you.
In the hundred and fifty years you were gone,
the Industrial Revolution was the cause of upheaval and transformation of everything on earth.
The only thing that didn't change,
is our Nuwu tribe's generations of loyalty to you.
Why did you summon me?
In these last hundred and fifty years, based on the wealth you left, our family, as psychologists,
pharmacists, and other scientific identities,
have also engaged in one of the greatest occupations, and that is the research of the mermaid species.
We will use all our ability and resources to protect you better, our master.
But since a hundred and fifty years ago, after you'd lost Ling Zhu, there had been no news from you.
Come!
Cheers!
This wine... What is in this wine?
I thought that the mermaid king was very strong. In the end, you still couldn't fight the poison of the Angel's Trumpet.
Wu Julan, you didn't imagine that this day would come for you, right?
After I lost the spiritual pearl, my body continued to weaken.
I can feel
that I only have three months left.
Having suffered over a thousand years of loneliness, I feel that life has already lost its essence of love.
Lucas, I have already discovered your spiritual pearl.
You should take it back. It was yours to start with. They owe you.
Hi!
It's really the hypocrisy of the world! I don't even have a handbag to return home with!
Stop!
Shen Luo, you've done something huge!
What is it? You offended our boss, and you still want to run away?
Big brothers, I don't have money or a body to take advantage of!
That kick on your boss was accidental. I admit my mistake, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry!
Cut the crap! Come with us!
-Let's go!- No! Help!
- Don't move!- Let go! Help! Help! Someone!
Help! Someone come!
Jiang Yisheng! Why is it you? Why did you scare me?
- You're still playing around? Take off your mask!- It was hard to breathe!
- Da Tou! You're back?- Yes.
He followed your scent back!
Shen Luo, this was his idea.
He wanted to pay you back for making him pee his pants when you were kids!
- What a shrewd businessman! You didn't even blink your eye when you betrayed me! - Who's the shrewd businessman?
You two really are good friends!
You two are looking to be beaten up for trying to trick me in this manner!
We came sincerely to pick you up!
Just to come and fetch you, Boss Zhou even drove his convertible car here!
Convertible car? Where is it?
Tada!
- It's that?- It's very environmentally friendly!
- Let's go!- Let's go!
The Three Musketeers of this island are all gathered together again!
What Three Musketeers? It should be the island's F3!
I want to go see Grandpa at the hospital first!
Xiao Luo, you go to the hospital first. I'll take your luggage home.
We're back!
- We're together again!- We're back!
- The Island F3!- Island F3!
I'm back!
Let me tell you! My good-looking index on this island is definitely number one!
Therefore, if any woman tries to get close to me, it'll lead to the attack of other women on the island.
Don't blame me for not reminding you! You'd better keep your distance!
Otherwise, you'll be attacked by other women.
Then, the consequences will be very serious!
- Oh?- Of course!
- Jiang Yisheng!- Jiang Yisheng!
Jiang Yisheng! Who is she to you?
- That's right!- This... This...!
She's my close childhood friend who just returned from overseas. She is just a little overly excited upon seeing me.
She's not a girlfriend; not a girlfriend!
It's not like Xian Jian doesn't know.
It's actually a prohibited area.
I just can't imagine, you little rascal, who during your childhood used to be a late blooming sprout,
has now grown into someone who seems to have an excess of hormones.
Hey, isn't it time you let me go?
I have to hug you for a bit longer!
Because, I want to tell you something. I'm afraid you won't be able to take it.
What serious things could you have to say?
Prepare yourself.
There's something I've been keeping from you.
What your Grandpa has is stomach cancer. It's in the late stages, and has already spread to his lungs.
What?
Grandpa wouldn't let us tell you because he was afraid it'd affect your work. Now that you're back, I can't keep it a secret any longer.
No! Isn't Grandpa just hospitalized for a regular stomach illness?
What joke are you playing?
Can I joke about this sort of thing?
Grandpa is very optimistic about this.
He even told me,
"People will eventually die. I shouldn't be sad for separation that will happen sooner or later."
Xiao Luo, if you're sad, then cry.
But later when you see Grandpa, you have to hold it in!
You must be happy, pretending like you know nothing.
Happily spend Grandpa's last days with him, okay?
Grandpa! Xiao Luo is back!
You're back?
Grandpa!
She arrives just as I'm talking about her! This is my granddaughter!
She's prettier in person, right?
She came to see me as soon as she got off the boat! She's very filial!
- She is indeed pretty!- Pretty!
Grandpa, I've being overly complimented by you. Aren't you afraid others will laugh?
Who dares to laugh?
There's not enough time for them to be jealous!
I don't ask for anything else in this life.
My only wish is for you to get a good husband.
But I don't know if my old body can wait until that day.
Grandpa, actually, I already have a boyfriend.
This is your grandson-in-law. We're going to be together for life.
Why don't I know about this?
That's right! I remember now!
- You can't!- You can't!
- Jiang Yisheng, aren't you single?- That's right!
Xiao Luo, what is going on?
Okay, okay, I'll stop joking with you Grandpa.
Actually, my boyfriend is working in the city.
I'll give him a call to tell him to come see you.
Really?
Then... work is more important. I can wait, let him work first.
There's no need to rush. The sooner he comes the better.
Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo!
- Wait for me. Wait for me!- What is it?
I suddenly thought of something!
I have a friend who is very suitable for you!
A blind date? I'm not going.
A flower boy who practices abstinence.
His good-looking index is very compatible with yours. He's also extremely smart. Just right to mutually compliment yours.
- I've already contacted him! He'll be here later!- Wait!
If you dare to mention anything about matchmaking again, I'll blacklist you forever! Hurry up and disappear already!
I already contacted him! Wait!
A flower boy who practices abstinence? Jiang Yisheng got him here so quickly?
What are you doing? Masquerading as a flower boy who practices abstinence or cosplay (costume play)?
Do you have any more?
Water.
Who are you? How should I repay you?
It's just some water, it's not a big deal. I was just helping out.
A drop of favor has to be repaid with a fountain. What is your name?
I got it. Drinking water is just your excuse.
Your real goal is to get close to me.
Let me tell you. Even if you bring on "Eighteen Ways to Seduce a Girl"
I will also not be moved. I actually have no inkling of interest in you.
I only wanted to drink water.
Stop defending yourself.
Such a low style of hitting on a girl has long gone out of fashion.
Thank you.
Go back and tell Jiang Yisheng to wait for my punishment!
Grandpa, I'm in a bad mood today.
My classmates bullied me. They buried my craft in the flowerbed.
Who dares bully our Xiao Luo? I'll go punish them!
Liu Shen, my grandpa loves to eat the green bean cakes you make. I'll bring them to grandpa tomorrow.
- Thank you!- You're welcome.
Your grandpa will definitely be happy.
Bye!
- Give me some money.- I don't have any.
You clearly have hands and feet, why won't you go look for a job?
- Give me some money please, I haven't eaten for many days.- Don't give it to him!
There's so many liars in this world! Who knows if he's real or fake?
Maybe he's real! Here.
Thank you. Thank you!
Boss! Give me a skewer of squid with spicy sauce!
Okay!
This is the place where Du Xiaolin lived.
The spiritual pearl should be hidden inside.
You must find a way to stay in this house.
Even if you can't find the spiritual pearl now,
once the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar has arrived, you will also be able to feel the exact location of Lin Zhu.
It's just some water, it's not a big deal. I was just helping out.
There's so many liars these days. Who knows if he's real or fake?
Maybe he's real!
You again?
You live here?
I don't want to be matchmade with you, so you're trying to force yourself on me, is that it?
You want to pursue me with that little capability?
Tonight, I want to stay here.
In your dreams!
I don't know anyone else here.
I'm not close with you!
You're closer than others.
There's so many liars these days, who knows if you're lying?
Perhaps I'm not lying.
Why do those words sound so familiar?
Did I agree?!
Could you be Jiang Yisheng's patient?
[Shen Luo]
This number cannot be reached right now...
Jiang Yisheng, who are you? You sent me a pervert and now you won't pick up the phone?!
Is your surname Du?
No.
Why isn't your surname Du?
My grandpa's surname is Shen, my dad's surname is Shen! What do you think my surname is?
You're the one with the surname Du! Your whole family!
Is this house passed down through your family?
My grandpa bought it when he was young!
That's not right. Why are you asking me so much? Why should I tell you?
I'm not interested in you!
Very good. I'll stay here tonight.
I already told you I'm not interested in you! Don't stay here!
The bedroom is on the second level.
Jiang Yisheng, how could you introduce such a pervert?
Don't go! Don't go!
How could you be so shameless?
Jiang Yisheng said his friend would come, but not that you'd live here!
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?!
Okay, stay in this room.
I'll give Jiang Yisheng some face and let you stay the night.
But let me warn you! Don't have any unwelcome thoughts!
I'm someone who has been around the block. If you dare to ruffle my feathers, I'll make sure you die.
If he dares to break down the door, I'll stab him with this knife!
You stupid pervert! I'm going to cut you! Cut, cut, cut!
Pervert?
No one?
Grandpa, I've come to see you! I bought you some mung bean cake, too.
This is my card.
General Manager of Soaring Dragon International Cultural Company.
I say, Da Tou. Your name sounds pretty nice!
Da Tou, not bad at all. Your position at work is pretty high.
Isn't he just someone peddling in antiques?
What would you know? It's called packaging.
Call me whenever you need me.
International Cultural Company General Manager. Big boss.
Xiao Luo, want to think about him?
Yeah, right!
Da Tuo, you and Jiang Yisheng are my best friends in this life!
Aiya, Da Tuo, let me tell you. In your next life, you must look like her ideal type!
And then insist on not liking her and anger her to death!
No matter what Xiao Luo looks like, I will still like her.
Da Tou, let's play chess already!
Oh, right, right.
Let me see who wins.
Grandpa, it's your turn.
- What are you doing?- Come here!
That's right. Is the person you introduced to me your patient? The pervert who loves to drink water?
Did you say you didn't want to meet him? I told him not to come over.
What? He didn't come?
Then who was the one that stayed at my house last night?
Thank goodness nothing happened last night.
He was gone in the morning.
Perhaps he didn't leave. He might still be in your house.
Perhaps if you go back now, your house will be all empty!
Who told you not to pick up the phone last night?
Who would have known your IQ would make someone feel anxious?
Xiao Luo, you're too careless.
You took in a stranger into your house!
If you run into some runaway criminal, and he steals all your stuff and then takes advantage of you, then what?
- What are you doing?- Protecting myself!
Speak! What are you doing here?
Speak! What is your motive?
What's so fragrant?
This garden has been cleaned up.
- Were you the one that cleaned it?- Lunch is ready.
Wow! There's so much good food!
Yisheng!
It's delicious! What was the stuff I ate in the past?
This is the real good food!
- Hurry and eat--!-There won't be any problems with the food, right?
What problems could there be? It's so delicious! There can't be any problems!
Stop scaring yourself. Hurry and sit down to eat!
Now that you mention it,
a person who can make such delicious food is definitely not a bad person, right?
Why didn't you say that you don't know Jiang Yisheng?
I never said I knew Jiang Yisheng.
Why did a man like you come to our Xiao Luo's house instead of staying at home?
I don't have a home.
- Then what about your parents and family?- They're all dead.
What about your friends?
I don't have friends.
Aiya, Brother. There's one word written on your face: Pitiful.
So you were this pitiful? I thought you were a stealing pervert.
What is this smell?
Gas!
Xiao Luo! Hurry and look at your television!
My television!
You! You pervert with an unknown background! What did you do to my house?
You saw what I did?
You... You are committing evil! How can you still be rational?
Now that you mention it, your food is delicious.
But why does it have a stinky tofu taste, now that I think about it?
You didn't really put poison in, right?
I told you not to eat it!
Speak! What did you put in the food?
I just used well water.
Well water?
What well?
There's a white well over there.
That's the bathroom!
Could it be the toilet water tank?!
- Go!- Go!
I knew from the first look that you weren't anything good!
You even pretended to help fix the room and cook for us. You put a lot of effort into it.
I'm warning you!
Don't come back again! I'll beat you up every time I see you!
I'm going to go throw up.
What are you looking at? You ruined my television,
you ate our rice, and you almost caused us to have carbon monoxide poisoning!
I only know you.
Only ghosts know you.
-Then what about your parents and family?-They're all dead.
What about your friends?
I don't have friends.
Enough. Enough. Consider yourself successful in trying to be cute. Come into the house then.
We have to set the rules straight first.
You cannot stay here for free.
Grandpa is sick right now, so I'm lacking some help.
Besides, you broke my television, too.
From today on, you're my servant!
You'll have to run my errands, be my slave, and listen to my orders!
That's right. What's your name?
Wu Julan.
Wu Julan, you're not ugly,
but why is your taste in aesthetics causing me much worry?
If you run around dressed like this, it'd be hard for people not to doubt your intelligence.
Now, since you're going to be my servant,
I'll help you change your image; otherwise, you'll embarrass me!
What sort of image?
A image that I like!
A style that's already passed a century ago like yours, only a weirdo like you who'd dress like this.
You have no right to dictate or comment about my private matters.
Besides changing your clothes, your hair has to change, too.
Wu Julan! Someone is looking for you at the entrance!
Aiya, what do I do? I cut the hair!
Now it's short on one end and long on the end, so it's even uglier than before!
How about I give you a haircut to fix it?
Are you hungry?
Who told you to talk such nonsense? Hurry and get to work!
Wu Julan, you're not from the island, you have no money,
and you dress so weird, too! What did you come for?
I came looking for someone.
That person owes me something.
Who is that person?
Brother Tou! Hurry, hurry, hurry!
27 Island Road. It's here!
Uncle Wang!
It's me!
Why is it you again? Didn't I already tell you?
Evil businessmen like all of you, better give up early!
That treasure is my family heirloom!
I won't sell it for any price!
Uncle Wang, you've misunderstood.
We didn't come to talk about a sale.
This here is my god brother. He also has a silver box like yours at his home.
- No, I don't!- Shut up!
It's because you failed in business and owed a large debt,
and ended up pawning the silver box.
Look! My uncle hit him to this extent in his rage!
His father is very cruel!
That's not all. In his anger, his father began to bleed in the brain!
He's still in emergency care!
Uncle Wang! My father is still in the hospital right now!
- You must save me!- Hurry and get up!
We know you are a kind person.
If only you could give us that silver box,
then perhaps my uncle can still be saved!
Please just have mercy on me. Just like the old adage "saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda."
I'm begging you!
- I'm begging you!-Okay, okay, okay.
- Hurry and get up!- If you won't give it to me, I won't get up!
Fine, fine, fine! Hurry and get up!
Brother Tou, I'm impressed!
I didn't succeed after many tries, but you succeeded after the first try!
Use your head from now on.
Then I'll accept this!
That's right. Let me ask you something.
You can do this sort of business in the big city. Why did you come to this little island?
Ask what you should, and don't ask about what you shouldn't know, got it?
Continue to collect these silver boxes for me. Get me as many as you can find. I'll give you double the price.
Da Tou!
No, ah, this mouth of mine.
Brother Tou.
I bullied you as kids, but you don't care about the past.
You help me so much now, too. You are my savior!
I forgot about the things from childhood long ago.
Brother Tou! You are a person that will do great things!
Why didn't you use the washing machine?
The directions said it has to be hand washed.
It's not dry yet!
I know!

♫ Nightly and ceaselessly, it influxes into the heart of the ocean ♫

Wu Julan! I'm talking to you!

It's called "Summer Night, Starry Sea." It's my favorite.

You could hear me? Then why did you pretend not to hear me? Why didn't you agree?
Ask whatever you want.
