The Starry Night, The Starry Sea
Episode 31
Hurry and lie down, do you hear me?
If something happens, who will have to take responsibility?
You've just narrowly evaded death, why are you beginning to torment yourself?
You can't move around right now!
I've never seen such a disobedient patient before!
You're awake?
Miss Zhou!
Is it this?
I gave the music box to Miss Zhou.
Because her name was engraved on it.
You two talk. I'll get to work first.
Were you looking for this? I'll give it back to you.
But this was a gift for you.
I don't want it.
I heard Lily say
that you were beaten up like a fool at that time.
But you still held on tightly to the music box.
Are you stupid?
Because you like it.
It's not as important as you!
It's okay, I'm tough.
I'm able to take all the beatings.
Fine, since you were beaten up so terribly,
I'll force myself to accept this.
But you can't be like this again, you hear?
Um...my brother has been captured.
The video you hid in the music box has been exposed too.
Rest at ease.
Buyan.
About your brother...you must not feel sad about it.
I won't.
Don't worry!
My brother isn't worthy of my sadness at all.
[Property Transfer Agreement]
After I die,
Shen Luo will inherit all of my assets.
Shen Luo
likes to work hard for everything herself.
This is the one thing I can't be at ease about.
Violet.
If in the future, Shen Luo runs into any trouble,
I hope that you,
can do your best to help her.
Regulus!
It's still not too late to take back the spiritual pearl now.
Don't mention that again.
Why are you here? I've been looking all over for you.
I heard,
that Zhou Buwen went crazy in jail.
It's the backlash of the medicine.
The medicine that An Zuo left behind,
regular people can't take it.
I cut ties with him long ago,
but when I hear about him,
I still feel especially sad.
A friend of twenty six years.
How could he have become like this?
Say,
if I discovered earlier that he had taken the wrong path,
and persuaded him to turn back earlier,
would the ending have changed?
There's nothing you can do.
Everyone's fears can only be defeated by themselves.
You're awake? I made congee.
Does it taste good?
It tastes awful.
Then don't eat it.
It tastes bad, but I like it.
Really? Then eat some more.
Okay.
In a bit, come take a walk with me, okay?
Why did you suddenly bring me here?
Wu Julan, are you willing to make a bet with me?
The loser has to make a promise to the winner.
Okay.
Word. Word. Word.
I win!
What do you want?
You once brought me here to see fireflies.
I want to see it one more time.
Okay.
How pretty! This is my favorite present!
Wait. My request hasn't been completed yet.
Close your eyes first.
Hurry and close them!
Wu Julan.
In this lifetime, it seems like I keep running into bad luck.
The luckiest thing to happen is meeting you.
We can't be together for long,
but I don't regret it at all.
What are you doing?
You lost the bet, Wu Julan! I want you to kiss me!
This is the only thing I can't do.
I just want you to kiss me!
I've already lived this long in my life. I won't be in any disadvantage.
You knew long ago?
Wu Julan.
I'll give the spiritual pearl back to you, okay?
I love you.
I am willing to give up my life for you.
Your understanding of love is overly self-centred.
Even if you could give up everything for me,
you should ask if the other party is willing.
I didn't give up the spiritual pearl just for you.
It is also for myself.
In these thousands of years,
I saw too much life and death.
Love, you'd want it not to leave. Yet, it's not something you can have when you want it.
Before I met you,
I thought I'd leave with regrets.
But the heavens let me meet you.
You're so perfect and so captivating for me.
You let me feel that life
is so beautiful.
Even if I give up everything for you,
I will think it is worth it.
Shen Luo.
Please take my place,
and live on well.
Why can't we live on together?
Wu Julan!
I'll give you half of my life, okay?
Let's live on together.
Let's get married.
With you as my wife,
I will be the luckiest man in the world.
Granny, why aren't you resting?
In these hundreds of years,
on the surface,
it was to repay a favor,
that our family swore loyalty to the mer people.
But in reality,
it's because of our reliance on the merpeople
that our family became so strong.
Now, Wu Julan
is intent on sacrificing himself for Shen Luo.
If we lose the protection of the king of the mer people,
our family's glory
will not last for much longer.
Granny!
It's not as bad as you think it is.
Even if...even if it's as you say,
as long as we're all safe and healthy,
how important is glory?

Buyan. Did we come to the wrong place?
Did we?
Don't panic, let's wait a bit longer.
Perhaps they're on their way.
-Dr. Jiang!-They're here!
Dr. Jiang!
What's going on? Why is it just you three?
I've already notified everyone, but...
It's okay. Let's begin.
-Xiao Wu! Dr. Jiang!-They're coming!
Look! They're coming!
We're here!
We finally made it!
Sorry, we were preparing gifts for you,
so we came a bit late. Sorry!
Wu Julan, we wrongly framed you.
You not only saved me, you also invited us to your wedding!
We are very grateful!
Yes yes yes!
Everyone has come.
Liangliang, don't cry.
Cheer up! Today is my big day!
I really don't know if you are too brave or too crazy.
I've thought it over.
From now on,
I will happily spend Wu Julan's last days with him.
Even if we have no ending,
but at the very least, we can spend the remaining days happily.
Do I look good?
Very pretty.
I want to stay here tonight.
Don't even think about it!
I don't know anyone else here.
We're not very close either!
We're at least closer than others are.
Wu Julan! Run!
After you get out, hurry and find someone to save me!
I know I can't make any promises to you.
I shouldn't bother you anymore.
But I can't do it.
Xiao Luo, after I leave,
no matter who you fall in love with, there's nothing I can say.
But in this month,
I hope that you can be with me.
Wu Julan.
Are you willing to marry Shen Luo as your wife?
Whether rich or poor,
in sickness or health,
to love her, and respect her,
until death do you part?
I do.
Shen Luo.
Are you willing to marry Wu Julan?
Whether rich or poor,
in sickness or health,
to love him, respect him,
until death do you part?
I do.
Please exchange the rings.

How is it? Are you jealous?
If you're jealous, beg me! I'll propose sooner!
I won't beg you.
I want to see who can't keep waiting first.

Wu Julan, when was the first time you came onshore?
The eighth year of the Kaiyuan era.
Then do you know Wang Wei?(A Tang dynasty poet)
Mm.
Then do you know Li Bai too?(Another Tang dynasty poet)
We drank wine together and sparred a few times.
Then what about Du Fu? Do you know Du Fu?(A Tang dynasty poet)
My face doesn't age, so I can't stay in one place for too long.
I must wander the world.
During the early Tang era (A.D. Year 675), by the banks of Flower Creek in Shu Zhong Yuan, I met a beauty.
What is it?
It'd be great if I was born a thousand years earlier.
Then I could have met you earlier.
Let's not talk about this first.
Today is our first night as a married couple. Will you agree to anything I say?
As long as I can do it.
You can definitely do it.
Can you turn into a merman for me to see?
Wu Julan! Hurry and come down!
Are you afraid?
You're all mine! Why should I be afraid?
♫ Alone, I watch the northern stars, ♫
♫ until I met you at the most beautiful age, inch by inch ♫
♫ The healing years unpredictably change the future in your palm prints ♫

It turns out...you're the one I've been waiting for.
Why did you run away the minute you saw me?
Who ran away?
That's right. Isn't this jade your precious treasure?
Why did you give it to me?
I'm returning it to its rightful owner.
What does that mean?
It means, I am all yours now.
Of course, all the things on my body are yours too.
This is a Tang dynasty antique! It must be worth a lot of money!
Why are you staring at me? Is anything different?
Of course there's a difference. You are my wife now.
What's wrong? Wu Julan!
I'll go contact Violet.
I'll send Liangliang to see Regulus right away.
Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to save him.
Goodbye.
I added many valuable medications into this water.
It should be able to suppress your illness for now.
Hey! Hey!
Regulus!
Granny!
Is this your doing? Why did you have to do that?
Do you think I did this willingly?
Regulus won't take the spiritual pearl back.
There's nothing else I could do besides this!
Granny! Have you forgotten our mission?
Our mission is to serve the mer people.
We should act according to Regulus's wishes.
I've never forgotten
my mission. All I did is for him.
Also, I said long ago that love is the most powerful magic in this world.
We cannot listen to a person controlled by magic!
But this is Regulus's choice! We should respect him!
But his choice is wrong!
After he wakes up from the magic,
he will definitely regret his choice!
You captured him, and hurt the person he loves most.
You're not saving him, you're harming him!
The pain of the heart creates more hopelessness than physical pain does!
Regulus won't forgive you.
I'm very aware of what the consequences will be.
But as long as Regulus can live on, I am willing to bear it all.
Granny. I'm getting more confused.
The thing you want to protect,
is it Regulus, or is it the glory of the family?
Liangliang.
Liangliang! I beg you on behalf of our entire family,
please save Regulus and our family!
Granny! You told me since childhood,
that all that our family has is from the mer people.
We exist to protect the mer people.
I've always remembered that fact. I will never forget it.
Our reasons are the same,
but you are choosing to be loyal to the physical aspect of him.
As for me, I'm choosing to be loyal to his soul.
I'm sorry.
No one can stop me from saving Regulus!
I didn't think that a brat like you who's used to having a vagabond's lifestyle,
- is now considered to have done a good deed, right?- Right.
Don't you know me?
In my heart, I only have innocence, kindness,
and sincerity when I mingle with others. It's just that I've been led onto the wrong road by the bad guys.
Alright. Alright. You've repented and made amends. That's better late than never.
However, those bad deeds that require much thinking, you are not the one who will do that.
Oh right.
Does Buyan know that I'm getting discharged from the hospital today?
I'm sure she knows. Hasn't she been here during these few days to visit you?
If she knows about it, she should have come to fetch me. Where's she?!
Haven't I just complimented you? Look at you.
Your wounds are not fully healed yet, but you're already thinking about that girl.
The love I have for Buyan,
is full of zeal and hot-bloodedness. I'm able to tear away from those thugs
is all because of the power of this love.
Okay. The power of love. I'm giving you a thumbs-up for your feat.
- Give me a five.- Okay.
Hey, Buyan.
It's me. Big Brother Zhu.
What's up?
- I...- No. Listen to me first.
If it's convenient for you, chat with me for a little while more.
If it's more convenient for you,
I'm getting discharged from the hospital today. You can come and fetch me.
I'm sorry. I'm not able to be there.
I'm leaving very soon. The ferry is about to leave the dock.
- Where are you going?- She's already on a ferry, on a ferry! It's about to leave!
On a bed? [A play on homonym of ferry vs bed.]
Aren't your wounds still not fully healed? What's the hurry?!
Buyan. Buyan!
Why are you leaving so suddenly?
Why are you leaving already?
I don't belong on this island anyway. I'll go back to where I came from.
Who says you don't belong here?
Don't you know my feelings for you?
Tell me, what are my shortcomings? I can change!
Zhu Yiyang. I know you are very good to me.
But, I still have to tell you, I'm sorry.
Matters of the heart cannot be coerced.
All the things you've done for me, I'm deeply grateful and moved.
But, in my heart, you're only a platonic friend.
Can't you add a 'boy' in front of the word 'friend'?
Buyan. Tell me clearly.
I have to leave. Take care.
Answer me. Buyan!
Zhou Buyan! I'm smart,
have a good physique, and am attractive!
Tell me, where am I incomparable to Zhou Buwen?!
Heaven!
Tell me, why am I not good enough for Zhou Buyan?!
Shen Luo. Shen Luo. Shen Luo.
Something happened to Regulus.
He's now at Liangliang's house.
Wu Julan. Wu Julan.
Where's Wu Julan--
Wu Julan.
I'm sorry.
You're awake?
Where's Wu Julan?
You don't have to worry about him.
What do you want to do?
I hope you can return the spiritual pearl to Regulus.
Besides true love, is there any other way to return the spiritual pearl to him?
The handle and scabbard of this dagger
are all made from saltpeter (niter).
Every time there's friction applied to it, flames will be produced.
The Black Wizard discovered that flames of this kind
can cut through the flesh of humans and draw out the mermaid's spiritual pearl.
Unimaginably, today I will be using it
to rescue Regulus.
Whatever wishes you haven't been able to fulfill, I'll help you to fulfill them.
I guarantee you will not feel any pain.
It'll be like sleeping. You will drift deeply into a quiet, warm and beautiful dream.
Wu Julan. Wu Julan.
Aren't you in love with Regulus?
Now, we need you to give all your love.
As long as you can return the spiritual pearl to Regulus,
he'll no longer have to suffer torturous torment.
He'll be able to recuperate and regain all his power.
He'll have immortality and speed that exceeds humans.
You don't have to go through too much trouble. I'm willing to sacrifice for Wu Julan.
It's extremely good that you can think this way.
But, I want to see Wu Julan. Since I'll be departing, I want to properly bid him farewell.
I can't accede to your request.
I can't disappear without a word.
I beg you. This is my final wish.
I'll convey your parting words to Wu Julan.
This is a matter concerning his life or death.
I definitely cannot allow any mishap to happen, even if it's just a slim chance of it happening.
I'm sorry.
Please tell Wu Julan for me,
"Forget me, and live on well."
