Episode 2
Why isn't there any decent man in my WeChat Moments?
I just realized that...
the men I know...
are all so ugly.
Ah Yuan?
Who is Ah Yuan?
The handsomest guy back in university?
No wonder.
Although you're not as handsome as Mo Lian Cheng,
I'll still give you a like.
Your God
What should I do?
I...
What should I say?
Do I act like nothing happened?
But...
Do I really hate him?
This is so vexing.
Hey, pretty.
Care to meet up?
I only liked your post...
and you're trying to hook up with me already.
Sure.
Stupid Mo Lian Cheng.
Stop thinking of torturing me.
She's not home. She isn't answering my calls...
or replying my messages either.
You've really gotten prettier.
That's not true.
I heard that...
back in university, I was your...
No.
That was just their joke.
Actually, at that time,
I kind of liked you as well.
Sorry. I need to go to the washroom.
Wait.
Hello.
Okay. No problem.
I'll surely get her tonight.
Okay.
So,
let's celebrate our reunion.
Hello.
Have you seen this girl?
This customer just left.
She sat over there. I haven't cleaned up the table yet.
Thanks.
Xuanling Continent.
Go.
I'm so dizzy.
Don't talk. Let's just stay in bed a little longer.
What are you saying?
Pervert!
Mo Lian Cheng! You've gone overboard!
I went overboard?
Didn't you enjoy touching my chest and drooling on me last night?
Now, you make it sound like it's my fault.
Don't try to get away with that!
Why am I in your bed again?
You don't remember?
Right.
What was I doing before this?
Weren't I in a bar?
Did I get drunk...
and walk into his arms on my own...
because I've been thinking about him too much?
What?
This is too embarrassing.
You're overthinking.
When I called you yesterday,
a guy called Ah Yuan answered the phone call...
and told me that you were dead drunk.
I'm a kind person...
and I thought you might end up sleeping on the street.
So, I went over and picked you up.
You're not that kind at all.
Why didn't you just wake me up...
and send me home?
You know where I live!
You actually went out with a guy who liquored you up.
Your taste in men is really bad.
You have the guts to say that!
So, last night wasn't enough?
Do you still want to do embarrassing things with me today?
You're going to let this slide?
Shut up!
This is odd.
Someone logged into my WeChat account.
You logged into my WeChat account.
You've been monitoring me?
You're crazy!
Tan Er, let me explain.
I just wanted to protect you.
Enough!
You're too scary! Is this fun to you?
Why do I have to endure everything?
Is my feeling worthless?
I've finally seen your true colours today!
Mo Lian Cheng!
I just want to make a living...
and lead a normal life!
If you don't want to buy the house,
stop coming to me!
Tan Er, I was really just trying to protect you!
Do I have to thank you?
I think I messed up.
In order to protect Tan Er...
and stop her from returning to Eastern Yue,
I did whatever it took to obtain the ancient bed.
But, as long as the soul hunters are around,
they'll still pose a huge threat.
I must get rid of the soul hunters...
in order to keep Tan Er completely safe...
and ensure that she won't be in danger again.
But now, Tan Er has misunderstood me.
If I tell her the truth directly,
how will she react?
Hello. Manager.
Qu Xiao Tan.
You even dare to decline our client's phone calls now?
No. Manager.
I'm feeling a little sick today.
I was just about to call you to take a day off.
Don't give me that!
Listen.
Mr. Mo has accepted our quotation.
Even if you're paralyzed,
you've to put yourself on a wheelchair...
and get the contract signed!
But I...
But what?
Listen!
If you don't appear within 10 minutes,
you can forget about coming back!
Yes!
You've arrived.
My manager said...
you're ready to sign the letter of authorization anytime.
Please read it carefully. I'm not in a hurry.
May I know...
if you've any other request?
Can I tell you a story?
A long time ago, there was a country called Eastern Yue.
There lived their eighth prince...
and his princess from another world.
They were deeply in love with each other...
and they went through a lot of hardships together.
But, during a crisis,
the two of them were separated against their will.
This prince somehow entered...
the world where his princess used to live.
Here, he found her again...
and when he wanted to reunite with her,
he realized that the person he found...
is the girl before they met.
The duke decided to make her fall for him once again.
But, he was clumsier than he thought.
Making a person fall for the same person once again...
can't be that easy.
Is this a fictional story you wrote?
I'm that prince from Eastern Yue...
and you, Qu Xiao Tan,
you are that princess of mine.
How stupid am I to you?
I can't believe you made up a story like this to fool me.
Mr. Mo.
Once you've decided,
please send the contract to our office.
I'll excuse myself.
Someone is after your life.
You must trust me.
I'm the only one that can protect you.
Tan Er, leave this place with me.
I can protect you. I'll ensure your safety.
Looks like telling you the truth directly...
will really make you think that I'm crazy.
Mr. Mo.
You need to calm down.
I don't know if you've confused me with some fictional character,
but I'm Qu Xiao Tan.
I'm not that Tan Er you're talking about.
As for the contract,
let's just forget about it.
My manager will contact you. Goodbye.
Tan Er.
Is he crazy...
or does he take me for a fool?
This is strange.
Why am I so unlucky?
Tan Er!
This is odd.
Why does my chest...
hurt so much?
Ms. Tan Er.
Tan Er.
You know my feelings.
Apart from you,
I won't marry anyone.
But,
no one can go against His Majesty's order.
Actually,
I don't mind even if...
I can only be your concubine.
As long as I can stay by your side forever,
I'll be contented.
Don't say that.
I promise you that...
apart from you,
I won't marry anyone.
I'll never fall for another woman.
Father.
What made you believe that Cheng Er...
will die at 25 years old...
and why did you insist to betroth Qu Tan Er to him?
I've read this decree over and over again.
But, I still don't know...
how to explain to Huai Er today.
Prince Mo Yi Huai has arrived!
Let him in.
Greetings, father.
Huai Er, rise at once.
Thank you, father.
Father, how may I help you?
Huai Er, you're an adult now.
You're of marriageable age now.
Yes.
I've picked a woman...
with outstanding background, looks...
and character for you.
She's the daughter of Qu Jiang Lin.
Qu Pan Er.
Father.
I cannot obey your order.
I won't marry anyone except Tan Er.
How dare you!
Are you going to go against my order?
Father.
For Tan Er,
I can let go of anything at all.
If you go against my order,
I'll order to execute Qu Tan Er!
Father!
Qu Tan Er's fate...
will depend entirely on the choice you make.
I...
thank you, father.
Father, I can't obey your order.
I won't marry anyone except Tan Er.
If you go against my order,
I'll order to execute Qu Tan Er!
Father!
Qu Tan Er's fate...
will depend entirely on the choice you make.
I...
Prince Mo Lian Cheng has arrived!
Let him in.
Greetings, father.
Cheng Er, rise at once.
Thank you, father.
Cheng Er, what brought you over?
What is Brother Yi Huai doing?
Cheng Er, congratulate your brother.
He's about to get married.
Congratulations, Brother Yi Huai.
Which lady is my brother going to marry?
The eldest daughter of Qu Family.
The eldest daughter?
But, I thought...
Brother Yi Huai's childhood sweetheart...
is the second daughter of Qu Family.
Right.
She's the daughter of a concubine after all.
She can't do much to assist Brother Yi Huai.
Brother Yi Huai is wise indeed.
Father, he won't disappoint you...
because of personal feelings.
Father.
Tan Er and I...
genuinely love each other.
If you must threaten me with Tan Er's life,
I'd rather die with Tan Er...
than betray her.
This is ridiculous!
How dare you threaten me with your life!
In this case,
I'll remove your title now.
Go back and reflect at home!
You're not allowed to enter the palace without my permission!
Get lost at once!
I...
thank you, father.
Mr. Qu.
My condolences.
Ms. Tan Er...
There's really nothing I can do to save her.
No way!
That can't be the case!
Mr. Physician, please save Ms. Tan Er!
Please save Ms. Tan Er!
Mr. Physician.
Is she really hopeless?
Ms. Tan Er has already passed away.
You should prepare for her funeral.
Alright.
-Ms. Tan Er. -Tan Er.
You were too foolish.
She's dead?
I can't believe this.
No. It's not my fault.
Qu Tan Er, you jumped into the lake yourself.
This has nothing to do with me.
Ms. Tan Er.
Ms. Tan Er, I beg of you. Please wake up.
Scoundrel.
It's all your fault.
I should have learnt how to swim.
Where am I?
Who are you people?
A ghost!
Qu Tan Er became a ghost!
Tan Er, please rest in peace.
I'll burn a lot of joss papers for you.
I've been a physician for decades.
But, I've never seen anything like this.
Ms. Tan Er, you've regained consciousness.
You've finally regained consciousness!
Who are you?
Who are you people?
Ms. Tan Er, what's wrong with you?
This is your home in Eastern Yue.
I'm your maid, Jing Xin.
Don't you remember?
You've no idea that...
since the day you fell into a river,
you've been unconscious for 3 days.
Eastern Yue?
Ms. Tan Er?
Yes.
What the heck is this?
Tan Er.
Are you human or ghost?
Ms. Tan Er's breathing is normal.
She really came back to life.
I'm afraid she's not in her right mind now.
She's saying strange things because she lost her memory.
I'm incompetent. I'm afraid I can't help.
Mr. Qu, I shall excuse myself.
-Tan Er! -Ms. Tan Er!
-Hurry! -Ms. Tan Er!
Stop her!
-Ms. Tan Er! -Tan Er!
Ms. Tan Er, please put on your shoes!
Stop her! Don't let her kill herself again!
I'm back to Eastern Yue.
