Who are you?
Please don't alert anyone.
You can do whatever you want to me if you spare my life.
What?
I think there's a worm in my clothes.
Beauty, let me take a look for you.
Guards! Go after her! There's still a survivor!
Hurry up! Guards!
- Hurry... Pull me up. - Coming!
Hurry! Guards!
Go after her!
- Stop right there! - Hold on! Don't go after her. Look!
- Why aren't you in bed yet? - You aren't either.
Yun Kuang's army sweeps through all the battles with great force.
Our army can't hold them down.
Discuss this with the court officials.
- I don't know anything about politics. - Miao Ge.
I never wanted to be an Emperor.
I just wanted to be with you wherever we go.
We'll sing and dance and be merry.
Live a life of bliss together.
But why is God doing this to me now?
Why should I have to go through such pains?
Are things really that bad?
Yun Kuang is really tough!
Some soldiers don't even want to fight when they see him coming.
They surrender right away.
I'm so scared.
I'm afraid the country my ancestors established will be ruined in my hands.
I'm worried I'll end up a sinner and be infamous in history.
- What scares me the most... - You're an Emperor and a man.
What should I do if you're scared?
Miao Ge!
Are you going to abandon me as well?
You are worrying yourself unnecessarily.
I'm tired. You should rest as well.
Don't wear yourself out.
What scares me the most...
I won't be able to keep my promise to you.
I said I would crown you as the Empress.
That doesn't matter anymore.
National affairs are more important.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
Why is she locked up in here?
Your Highness, we were going to send her out of the palace.
But she was given a title by the former Emperor so she is still a Princess.
Therefore His Majesty bestowed grace upon her and kept her in the palace.
She can stay here without being locked up.
- We were told she is violent... - Enough! Let her out.
Yes.
The supplies to this court are to be identical to mine.
No one is allowed to bully or ignore her.
I will visit her very often.
If anyone should bully or ignore her, I will definitely punish you, understood?
Yes.
You may leave now.
Don't cry, Yun Jiang. Don't cry.
As long as I'm here, you won't have to suffer.
We're like sisters, aren't we?
You can trust no one in this world.
They all lied to me and harmed me.
Only you are true to me.
It doesn't matter if you're crazy or silly.
I don't care about that.
I will always trust in you as long as you stay true to me.
We are all pitiful and have no one to rely on.
Don't worry. I know about your pain.
I won't let anyone hurt you again.
Young lady...
Young lady, what is so bad that you have to take your life for?
Xiao Hui, in what way am I inferior to that mute woman?
If you can't give me a reason today, I'll... I'll die before your eyes!
Are you really so cruel?
Fine.
Please don't kill yourself! I'll talk to him.
Hey! Get up now!
Someone's going to die for you.
How could you be so cruel?
This concerns someone's life!
How annoying.
Xiao Hui, you really are something.
I'll make you regret this for life.
If you want to die, go somewhere further.
Don't interrupt my nap.
Please. I'm asking you for a favor.
What did you just say?
- You want me to die? - What did you say? I can't hear you.
Have you ever liked me?
What's wrong with me these days?
I can't seem to hear anything I don't want to hear.
Do you think I won't dare to jump?
I'm going to sleep a bit more. I'm so tired.
I'll sleep a bit more.
She really jumped into the water! Hey!
I'm warning you. This is the last time.
I won't ever save you again even if you drown yourself in a river or the sea.
Do you understand?
Xiao Hui!
In what way am I inferior to her?
You are not inferior to her at all.
It is just that I can only love one woman in my life, do you understand?
Xiao Hui... Xiao Hui!
I hate you!
A man like him, who loves only once, is very rare these days.
Here's a word of advice.
If he can jilt a woman for you, then he can also jilt you for another.
You should at least be glad that you have fallen for the right man.
Fallen for the right man?
He doesn't even like me.
How could I have fallen for the right man?
Great! Fight! Fight!
Great!
Do you think you're fit to challenge me?
Don't think too highly of yourself.
Could you win Xiao Hui if he were here?
Xiao Hui is afraid to accept my challenge.
Or else...
You've lost to him five years in a row, so he's trying not to embarrass you.
Allow our warrior to look at his reward.
What's the matter with you?
Didn't you say I just have to serve young master Xiao?
He hasn't been here for ages so what should I live on if I depend only on him?
Madam Jin, are there any problems?
Problems? Not at all.
If I hadn't saved you then you'd have fallen off the cliff.
This is the time to repay my kindness. Go!
Jiang Ye! Let go of my woman!
- Sire! - Scram.
I'll deal with you later.
I'll say it again. Let go of my woman.
Xiao Hui, even if you are highly skilled in martial arts
you have to abide by the rules.
Taking someone's reward by force is the same as theft.
If you really want her, prove it.
Fine, I will fight with you now.
Tomorrow.
- What did you say? - All matches are over today.
You have to wait until tomorrow to compete with me.
If you do wait until tomorrow, then your woman is mine tonight.
Asshole!
Those who break the rules are never allowed into the arena again.
Don't you still want to see her?
What do you really want?
If you really like my reward, there is still room for negotiation.
You have to kneel to me before everyone.
You!
Kneel! Kneel!
Xiao Hui, don't!
Men will kneel to no one.
Are you really going to kneel to this scum?
Xiao Hui, if you kneel now we will look down on you forever!
Coward!
Qing Guo, do you know I fell in love with you the moment I saw you?
It was such a windy day.
You looked like a terrified fledgling at the arena.
You were so fragile and helpless.
I can't help but want to hold you in my arms.
That was why I won toughest warrior in the city.
I thought I could have you as a reward.
But you stabbed me mercilessly.
Then you told me you had someone on your mind.
Although he didn't love you
you still wanted to stay pure for him.
I understand that.
That is why I have never forced myself on you.
I will wait until the day when you are willing to accept my love.
I've waited so long for you.
So how can I allow anyone else to defile you?
It's my fault. I have been too lazy.
I haven't been taking part in the matches.
No, it's my fault. I didn't want you to.
I'm worried you'll get hurt.
I'm not scared.
I have no regrets even if I have to die for you.
Starting tomorrow, I'll take part in the matches at the arena.
I'll earn a lot of money until I can redeem you.
Do you know I meant to kill myself when I was about to fall from the cliff?
Because I thought my life was over.
You brought me back to life.
You brought colors back into my life.
And I now have no regrets in life.
Who is willing to challenge the coward Xiao Hui? The warrior?
Stop laughing! What is there to laugh about?
Shen Hu, I have to win this match today.
Could you help me?
Xiao Hui, I've always looked up to you.
But you...
Shen Hu!
But of course! Who would compete with a coward?
There's nothing to be happy about beating a coward!
Which one of you would like Xiao Hui to crawl in between your legs?
If you do, then challenge him right away!
You can also get that woman as a reward!
Then Xiao Hui will have to be a coward again.
Isn't that so?
- Bro! - What are you looking at? Get him!
Great! Fight!
What are you doing?
Fight!
Sires! This is not a good day for matches.
Please go home now and come back early on another day!
Let's go home!
There's a thief! Are you doing your job?
Why aren't you going after the thief?
Move.
- Xi Bing! - Who are you? Let go of me!
- Someone's after... - Lu Le! I'm Lu Le!
Le Er! Goodness! What are you doing here?
Look! She's there! Go after her!
This is bad! Come with me!
- What's going on? - I'll tell you about it later!
- Stop right there! - Stop!
Stop right there!
Thief! You are quite a fast runner!
Madam, you are quite a fast runner yourself.
I'll give you back the money.
You stole from them?
Can I go now?
Did you think I'll let you off easily?
What do you want?
Tell her how a thief is punished here once they are caught.
Once they are caught their hands are chopped off!
Please don't chop off my hands!
- Stop it! - Please don't chop off my hands!
Enough! I know my friend was wrong to steal money from you.
But we've already given the money back.
Why don't you show me some respect and let us off?
You do look quite pretty.
Are you a man or a woman?
He's a man! He's my boyfriend.
Is that so?
Fine, I'll offer you another solution.
You are quite pretty so why don't you work at our brothel for ten days?
Then I'll pretend this never happened.
Or this boyfriend of yours goes to the arena for a match of combat.
If he wins the match, I'll let you off as well.
So which one do you choose? It's up to you.
Will I be fed at the brothel?
Of course. I never treat my girls badly.
- Fine, then we'll choose... - We'll choose the arena!
What's wrong with you?
A woman's reputation is the most important!
How can you choose the brothel?
We choose the martial arts combat.
All right. I will be waiting for you at the arena tomorrow.
But let me state the conditions first.
If you lose the combat then you will work at my brothel.
Keep them under your watch and don't let them get away.
- Yes! - Yes!
This way, please.
Here.
Are you ready to order?
What's with you? Why did you agree to taking part in the matches?
Look how frail you are.
You won't win them! What if you get hurt?
I want to give it a try even if I can't win.
It's best girls are not associated with places like brothels.
Your reputation will be in shambles!
Is my reputation more important then your life?
Forget about it. I'll work at the brothel instead.
Don't do that to yourself.
I understand young mistresses like you have no idea how difficult life really is.
This is all Yun Kuang's fault.
If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't be homeless.
And then ended up here to suffer.
Who did you just say? Yun Kuang?
Shopkeeper!
- Please enjoy. - Shopkeeper!
Coming! What would you like to order?
Bring us the best wine and food you have!
Yes! Food and wine will be here soon!
It's him.
Do you know him?
What's this? The coward wants to eat in a restaurant?
You're in the wrong place.
You should eat and drink in the stables.
Because horses are like you are meant to be ridden.
Shopkeeper, I'd like ten buns and a flask of wine to take away.
Are you selling horse grains here?
I'm sorry, Young Master Xiao...
It's all right. I'll go to another shop.
Give me a minute.
Hey! Hey!
- Are you calling out for me? - Don't you remember me?
There was a lady at the river bank who...
It's you.
Here.
Didn't you see how those men detested me and looked down on me?
Aren't you afraid they will ostracize you?
I believe you're a good man.
Is that written on my face?
A man who loves only one woman can't be a bad person.
Thank you, buddy.
Don't be discouraged. You'll get over it.
Don't just have buns. Let's get some wine?
Shen Hu?
- Xiao Hui. - Here.
Now we have both food and wine, perfect!
You have to fight until the stick burns out.
The one left standing wins. If you fall, you lose.
Do you have any questions?
If we both still stand until the end?
We will then do a rematch.
If I managed to keep standing?
You?
If you can reach a tie break with my warriors three times in a row
then I'll consider you the winner.
But since you are so skinny, I won't make things hard for you.
You get to choose whoever you want.
Le Er, I think it's best for me to work at the brothel instead.
Trust me. I will persevere.
It's you.
Pick me. Regard this as repaying your kindness.
You're a kind man but I didn't give you buns to make you indebted to me.
- We're dead. - All right! The match begins!
Le Er, get up!
- Le Er, get up! - Buddy, get up!
Le Er!
Le Er, stop fighting!
It's fine. I'll go to the brothel.
I'm all right. Step aside.
Are you sick of living?
You're dead for sure if I give you a few more blows.
Don't get up!
Don't try to get up! Stop pushing yourself!
- Get up! - Buddy, get up!
Le Er, get up!
- Get up! - Le Er, get up!
Get up!
Le Er, get up!
Get up! Le Er, get up!
Le Er!
Le Er, get up!
Le Er, get up! Get up!
Get up!
The stick is burned out!
Well-done!
Le Er, you've suffered!
We can be saved. We have another chance!
What are you so happy about?
There's another match tomorrow.
Can you hold on until then?
Le Er! Are you all right!
My reputation is of no importance so why bother risking your life for me?
I know you don't think your reputation is important.
But you should respect yourself.
Honestly, would you want to work in a brothel?
If the clients are not too nasty and I'm well-fed...
Do you get to pick your clients?
You'll shut the brothel down by being picky.
Don't worry. We will pull through this.
This is the best liniment made from Buddhanail.
You can have it.
Thank you.
You don't have to thank me.
Didn't you give me two buns?
What's the plan for tomorrow?
It's down to my luck.
Madam Jin will let us off if I can pull through the matches three times.
Three times? Just once was almost enough to kill you already.
How are you going to make it through the other two?
Help him. He's so pitiful.
Why don't you take my advice and I'll let through to the next round.
- You? - Why? Don't you trust a coward like me?
No... Of course not.
Now we just need another person to help out.
Xiao Hui!
What are you doing here?
You've hurt my friend so badly! Get out!
Don't drive him out.
Isn't it better if he makes up for what he did?
Make up for what I did?
They must be too terrified to show up.
It's good if they really are terrified.
That girl, Xi Bing, is quite exquisite.
She'll become very popular after some training.
Here we are!
When did you form a gang?
Is it called 'Gang of Cowards?'
Madam Jin, we will all fight today.
Make it a best of three match. We'll fight one on one.
What do you think about that?
Are you standing up for them?
It is not in the books that others aren't allowed to help in the arena.
Jiang Ye and you are almost on par.
Shen Hu is just all right.
That little guy probably won't survive a blow.
Your chance of winning is slim.
Shall we begin?
Hold on. They were the ones who had to pay for their crimes.
It's fine if you want to shoulder their blame.
But if you should lose, you have to be bound to me by contract for ten years.
Sure.
The three of us have different level of skill in martial arts.
To be fair, you have to choose your warriors accordingly.
Fine.
Jiang Ye, Xiao Liu, and Zhong Ping, step out!
Pick Jiang Ye and surrender right away.
Trust me.
- I pick him. - You're dead.
I admit defeat!
Madam Jin, I'm the most skilled fighter.
Zhong Ping is average and Xiao Liu is below average.
To be fair, whoever I fight against, I will let them attack three times first.
